The sun was getting late, the spring banquet was over, and BMW cars drove out of Shangyang Palace one after another. Pei Chuyue left to go back to Pei's mansion. Ever since she heard about her cousin and Princess Sheng Yuan, Pei Chuyue was out of her mind in the second half. After finally getting through the banquet, Pei Chuyue boarded the carriage back to the mansion sullenly. She was very silent along the way, and her brother Pei Ji'an was also silent.
After returning to the mansion, Pei Chuyue walked listlessly to the room. On the way, she glanced at Xiyuan and asked, "Cousin is back? Is he here?"
The maid followed behind Pei Chuyue, and replied respectfully: "No. Mr. Biao went to Dali Temple as soon as he left the palace. He hasn't come back yet?"
Pei Chuyue sighed, wondering what kind of magic power Dali Temple had. For several days, Gu Mingke left the mansion at dawn and came back when the curfew was approaching. He left early and returned late every day. temple.
Even if Pei Chuyue has the status of a cousin, she is a girl's family after all. Gu Mingke only returns to the mansion after dark, so Pei Chuyue can't run to find Gu Mingke at night. After all, she couldn't hide her face, so she couldn't see Gu Mingke for a long time.
Pei Chuyue herself also felt strange. Although she had a good impression of her cousin before, she was never as obsessed as she is now. In the beginning, she just thought that her cousin who lived at home was weak and delicate, quiet and uncontested, and very lovable, but what happened these days? Sometimes I don't do anything, just looking at his face makes me happy, if I can say a word to him, I feel like I'm floating when I walk.
Pei Chuyue faintly felt that this was dangerous, but she couldn't control herself. His slightly drooping eyelashes when writing, slender hands holding a scroll when reading? Even the way he just stood there without doing anything, all exude a fatal attraction like poison.
It stands to reason that Pei Chuyue is also a lady of everyone, and she has met many noble men since she was a child, and there are not many who show her hospitality. If someone ignores her, after one or two times, Pei Chuyue's place will become cold. She is the jewel in the palm of the Pei family, and it's not like she hasn't seen a man before, so how could she lower her self-worth and chase after a man
But Gu Mingke happened to be an exception. The colder and more distant he is, the more unable to extricate Pei Chuyue. He? Dressed in white, with a clear and cold appearance, as if he was born to stand on the clouds and watch all living beings go crazy for him, but he
Pei Chuyue sighed, she looked at Xiyuan reluctantly, and walked to her room helplessly.
After Pei Chuyue went back to the house, as soon as she sat down, she was replaying today's events in her mind, and the more she thought about it, the more depressed she became. The appearance of the cousin and Princess Sheng Yuan talking while standing among the flowers is a perfect match? Princess Sheng Yuan has just returned to the palace. She is beautiful and powerful. The sage and queen indulged her very much because of their guilt.
Pei Chuyue's mood became worse and worse. She waved her hand and sent all the maids away: "You all go down, I will be alone."
The maid bowed and quietly retreated. Pei Chuyue sat down on the couch for a while, and unexpectedly remembered what the eldest grandson Sanniang said during the day.
She said that Luoyang has recently become popular with a technique of Fushi, which is extremely accurate, and can get accurate answers no matter whether it is divination about the past or the future. Pei Chuyue didn't believe in these gods and ghosts at first. The so-called fortune-telling was nothing more than a charlatan who guessed the identity of the visitor and deliberately said some specious things to cheat money. But today, Pei Chuyue was in a low mood, completely lost her sense of control over the future, and suddenly had the power of ghosts and gods.
Perhaps, this method can really predict marriage? Anyway, it doesn't hurt to try it out, so Pei Chuyue found a pen and paper according to the method Changsun Sanniang said, then took out a plate of clear water, and poured cinnabar into it. After preparing all this, Pei Chuyue remembered that Changsun Sanniang had specially reminded that this kind of spirit-supporting technique must be mixed with blood in the cinnabar, otherwise it would not manifest. Enduring the pain, Pei Chuyue pricked the tip of her index finger with an embroidery needle, squeezed out a few drops of blood, and mixed it into the cinnabar.
The cinnabar was originally blood red, but after dissolving the blood, the color turned darker, giving it a deep and strange feeling. Pei Chuyue mixed the cinnabar mixed with blood evenly, dipped the pen in red, and gradually wrote down the heavenly stems and earthly branches according to the directions.
Finally, Pei Chuyue used thick cinnabar to draw the poles of yin and yang, where yang represents yes and yin represents no. After doing all this, Pei Chuyue propped up the needle with a pen pillow, and set her hands together, and said reverently: "The Great Immortal, believers sincerely worship, please the Great Immortal to help me solve my doubts."
This embroidery needle was the one that Pei Chuyue used to pierce her fingertip just now. The needle floated on the fulcrum, trembling slightly, and the needle tip still had bright red blood remaining.
After Pei Chuyue finished her prayer, she asked, "Am I a lady?"
After speaking, there was no movement in the house. Pei Chuyue couldn't hold back her curiosity, and quietly opened her eyes. The windows on all sides were closed, and there was obviously no wind in the room, but the thin needle started to move, it moved slowly, and finally, the needle tip stopped in the direction of Yang.
yes.
Pei Chuyue was shocked? She covered her mouth in disbelief. She was just joking around, but unexpectedly, she actually has supernatural powers!
Pei Chuyue was horrified and shocked. She put away her contempt, and bowed upright? After bowing, she asked again, "Am I the daughter of the Pei family?"
The needle tip does not move.
yes.
Pei Chuyue rolled her eyes, thought of an idea, and quietly changed the question: "Do I have a younger brother?"
The embroidery needle, which seemed to be at rest, moved, and it spun slowly. Pei Chuyue worried that it would stop several times, but it stumbled and finally stopped steadily in the overcast position.
no.
This time? Pei Chuyue completely believed it. She was in awe of the needle in front of her, she did not expect that the playful Fushi really has boundless magical powers. Pei Chuyue suppressed the waves in her heart, and carefully asked, "Will my cousin and I get married?"
The thin needle didn't move, it was pointing at the cathode. Pei Chuyue was stunned for a moment, and she immediately came to her senses, knocked on her forehead, and said regretfully, "Look at me, I forgot? Divination? The question is accurate. I have so many? Cousin, how does Daxian know what I mean?" Who is it?"
Pei Chuyue saluted again, clasped her hands together, and asked earnestly, "Daxian, please tell me, will I marry my cousin Gu Mingke?"
This time, the pointer moved slowly. Pei Chuyue immediately stared at it with bated breath, but the pointer passed through the anode and did not stop, but continued to move forward? In the end, under Pei Chuyue's shocked gaze, it stopped right at Yin.
Won't.
Pei Chuyue stared at it for a long time, making sure that she did not ask the wrong question this time, she suddenly lost strength and sat down on the ground. Even the Great Immortal who tried Bailing said so, is it really impossible for her and her cousin
Pei Chuyue didn't give up, and asked stubbornly: "I don't accept it. If he doesn't marry me, who will he marry?"
The fine needle did not move for a long time. Pei Chuyue's heart gradually became blank, yes, she didn't think about this question, she didn't even say her name, even if Daxian knew, how could she tell her? Pei Chuyue slumped on the ground, listless. She was about to give up when she suddenly moved the pointer slightly and moved. It spins wobbly, stops and starts, and seems uncertain. But in the end, it didn't point to any answer, but stopped in the middle.
Yang means yes, yin means no, what is it to stop in the middle? Pei Chuyue frowned, not understanding what was going on. Pei Chuyue lay down on the table to read, studied for a long time, but couldn't understand the result. She tried to count the stems and branches, but she still couldn't understand its meaning, and finally she could only give up with regret. Pei Chuyue remembers before? Changsun Sanniang said that although Fu Qixian is accurate, she does not ask unlimited questions. Please ask the Fushi fairy every time? More blood than the last time, and the most in a day? You can only ask five times. Pei Chuyue wasted? One question, now five times is just enough
Pei Chuyue thought that today's question was finished? That's why the result was no longer accurate. She didn't notice that the place pointed by the thin needle was true north.
·
In the north of Luoyang, there are Ziwei Palace and Dechang Palace. Li Chaoge came out of the clean room to take a shower. It was getting late, so she changed her clothes and put on loose and comfortable homely clothes. The maid turned on the light for Li Chaoge and asked, "Princess, do you want to read?"
In the past, when Li Chaoge came back, he would look through the files, and the maids were used to it, thinking that it was still the same today. Li Chaoge nodded, suddenly remembered something, and said, "You don't need to take the map, just get Lushu."
In the past, Li Chaoge was busy preparing for the town demon division, looking through maps, geographical records, and six records every day. But today she was ridiculed by Gu Mingke, which instantly aroused Li Chaoge's competitiveness. Who says she doesn't understand the law, she just doesn't want to read it! Today, she learned the law and slapped Gu Mingke hard in the face.
Li Chaoge is ambitious and determined to make Gu Mingke look good. Do you really think she can't understand Lishu? She was just saving some face for Dali Temple, otherwise, the group of elders in Dali Temple? Antiques should lose their jobs. Li Chaoge opened the law book with full confidence. After a while, her expression gradually became confused.
Why do you want to write nonsense and kill people for your life? Isn’t it a matter of course? It's obviously a very simple matter, why can't people understand when they write it
Li Chaoge frowned more and more as she looked back. She seemed to have seen this sentence before, why did it appear again? What is this, and before? What is the difference? After only reading half of the book, Li Chaoge was completely dizzy
Li Chaoge closed the scroll roughly, and casually wrapped the tie around it. Forget it? She might really not understand. It seems that there is still a need for Dali Temple to exist? Let them mess around with this kind of nonsense.
The maid came in to change the water and saw Li Chaoge finishing the scroll irritably. She didn't even bother to get up and take two steps, so she stretched out her hand and threw the scroll into the book basket. The princess is very accurate in throwing upside down, but this is Lushu. If it was seen by the ministers of Dali Temple, they might faint from anger.
The maid put away the tea, put on her skirt and knelt beside the book basket, carrying the scrolls back to their original places one by one. After coming back, the maid thought that Li Chaoge was tired from watching, and said: "Princess, if you are tired, you can rest for a while, you have been running around all day for the past few days, so you should take a good rest for a few days. Princess Dongyang There is a flower viewing feast, princess, do you want to prepare clothes?"
Li Chaoge listened and frowned: "Why is there another banquet? Didn't you just hold a flower viewing banquet a few days ago?"
"That was the Spring Festival hosted by Princess Huai'an, and this time it's the Flower Festival hosted by Princess Dongyang."
It's really troublesome, Li Chaoge didn't even think about it, he turned back and said, "I won't go."
The palace maid hesitated for a moment, then said softly: "Princess, Princess Dongyang is the head of all princesses and concubines, and has a high status in the clan. You have pushed the invitation of Princess Dongyang once before. If you push it again this time, Princess Dongyang I'm afraid I won't be happy."
Li Chaoge tried hard to think about it, but still had no impression. Seeing this, the maid reminded: "When I was in the palace in Mianchi."
Li Chaoge finally remembered that when he was in Zigui Palace, Princess Dongyang took a group of female relatives to hunt. At that time, Li Chaoge had just recovered his identity, and Princess Dongyang might have sent a post to Li Chaoge as a gesture of favor. It's a pity that Li Chaoge didn't go there because he disliked their inferior level.
The palace maid persuaded: "Princess Dongyang's banquet is very famous. Not to mention every banquet is very grand, and many celebrities from aristocratic families will be invited, and all princes and grandchildren will attend. Princess Dongyang's invitation is hard to come by. Dongdu Ladies are all sharpened? You want to squeeze your head in. Princess, you are of marriageable age, so it’s okay to go and have a look.”
It's really shameful to refuse for the second time, but does Princess Dongyang have any face? What does it matter to Li Chaoge? Li Chaoge was about to refuse, when he suddenly heard the maid say "a celebrity from a family", Li Chaoge paused, and asked: "The Gu family will also go?"
"Mrs. Gu's house is temporarily staying in Pei's house, and she should go with Pei Xiang's family."
Gu Peishi will go, don't think about it, Gu Mingke will definitely be tied up. Li Chaoge changed her mind in an instant. She smiled? Laughed, nodded and said, "Okay, prepare the clothes, and I will go too."
