On the day of the palace banquet, Gu Qingsheng got up very early.
Prince Duan had someone send over the clothes for the palace banquet. Every time at this time, Prince Duan would personally go to the embroiderer to check out Gu Qingsheng's clothes.
The clothes made from these materials are mostly similar to the clothes worn by the former princess. As Gu Qingsheng grows up, he looks more and more like the former princess.
Among the clothes delivered this time, Gu Qingsheng picked a plain green one. This color was actually not very popular among these young ladies from official families. The material was too picky, and if it was not worn properly, it would easily make her look like a country girl.
Gu Qingsheng had never tried this color before. At this time in her previous life, she seemed to have chosen the most eye-catching royal blue. Although the color set off her fair and delicate appearance very well, it was inevitable that she would be a little overwhelmed among so many carefully dressed young ladies from official families.
This plain green color is not eye-catching, but because Gu Qingsheng is thin and has fair skin, the material makes him look bright.
Prince Duan was surprised to see that she chose this side.
He looked at Gu Qingsheng's face and pondered for a long time. During the time he was accompanying the empress dowager in the palace, he was always worried about Gu Qingsheng at home.
Now I see more sighs
"Daddy is worrying too much. Qing'er has grown up and is becoming more and more like your mother."
A big hand rubbed his head, and Gu Qingsheng was silent.
She has a vague memory of her mother, but she was too young at the time and actually can't remember many things.
I only remember a plain figure, wearing a snow-white fox fur cloak and holding a hot water bottle, standing under a plum tree and looking up at the red world.
The image was already blurry, but the red lips with a hint of smile and the gentle words kept circulating in Gu Qingsheng's mind.
"Kiyomori, come to your mother."
She lowered her eyes, feeling the nostalgia coming from the big hand above her head, and her eyes suddenly became full of expectation.
"Dad, has my brother written to me again?"
Since I received Gu Fengnan’s letter last time, no matter how many times I sent letters to the battlefield, I never received a reply.
There has been no news of any invasion from the border recently, so Gu Fengnan's return to the court should be a recent event, but there has been no news, which makes Prince Duan a little worried.
"No, but it should be soon. There's no point worrying at this critical moment. Although the border has been peaceful recently, I heard that a secret team has been chasing your brother's team. I don't know if it's serious."
When Gu Fengnan was mentioned, Prince Duan became worried. Gu Qingsheng felt nervous and patted Prince Duan on the back.
"It's okay, father. My brother will be fine."
"Let's hurry up and get going. It won't be beautiful if we're late."
This palace banquet was a little different from previous ones. In the past, they would often dine together in the Empress Dowager's bedroom, but this time, all the ministers and their families were invited to the palace banquet.
According to the clues from the previous life, this was an attempt by the Queen to find a husband for Gu Miao from among these people.
The ministers in the court have been uneasy recently, so this would be beneficial to the emperor, so he agreed.
If you go too late, you may have to wait for a long time for inspection in front of the palace gate.
Prince Duan nodded and put aside all the worries in his mind.
"Once you're done packing, go to the door. Your mother is waiting."
Lin sat in the carriage and waited for a long time before she saw Gu Qingsheng coming out with Prince Duan's arm around him.
Her eyebrows and eyes froze, and she was suddenly stunned.
He was wearing a very old-fashioned plain green dress, but under the not-so-bright sunlight, he actually looked otherworldly and pure.
Like a snow-white gardenia blooming in front of you, the tender green buds and snow-white petals all show vitality and some shyness of the buds just opening.
It was even more pure and flawless. Lin's eyes were dull, and her smile was pale and forced.
"This... Qing'er, why did you choose this color of clothes? It's not appropriate for the party today."
"Nothing inappropriate."
Gu Qingsheng looked up at Lin, who was wearing red clothes in the carriage, and smiled gently.
"Mid-Autumn Festival is a time to remember family. My brother is away on the battlefield, so wearing overly bright clothes is inappropriate."
"I just hope he can come back soon and comfort his father who is worried about him day and night."
A look of relief appeared in Prince Duan's eyes, and he patted Gu Qingsheng's hand. In comparison, Lin's dazzling clothes were not so well thought out, and seemed a bit cheap.
She suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and looked at Prince Duan's face nervously with her fists. Fortunately, Prince Duan did not focus his attention on Lin. He followed Gu Qingsheng into the carriage and sat opposite Lin.
When stepping onto the carriage, Gu Qingsheng noticed the fox hairpin on Lin's head and smiled subtly.
"This Xun Huan, you know what, is really good at doing things."
Miao Lanlan yawned and chatted with Gu Qingsheng.
Because she is a soul body, Miao Lanlan has rarely come out since the last fight with the Gu. I heard from Xu Qingyi that she is recuperating her soul body and we haven't talked much for a few days.
"Are you awake? How are you feeling?"
Gu Qingsheng asked Miao Lanlan
"Xun Huan is in this situation now. If she doesn't put in some effort, she will definitely fail. This person who falls into the water will soon fall on her head."
After a while, Miao Lanlan yawned again
"It's okay, I'm just sleepy."
"Now there's going to be some fun stuff to watch. I have to hold on."
She pulled herself together and seemed to pat herself twice, and the sound of slapping could be heard.
Along the way, Lin was in a timid state. Most of the conversation was done by Gu Qingsheng and Prince Duan. She might have thought about interrupting, but was always blocked by Gu Qingsheng with a few words.
I couldn't help but feel angry. When I was almost at the palace, I heard the horse suddenly roar. The driver hurriedly changed horses and finally stopped in the middle of the road.
"What are you doing? Are you trying to kill yourself?!"
The driver in front shouted. During the bumpy ride just now, Gu Qingsheng was protected by Prince Duan so he was unharmed. But Lin was in a terrible situation. Her originally delicate makeup was knocked against the carriage board, and her hair was messed up. Now she could only hold her head and felt a little dizzy.
Gu Qingsheng lifted the curtain and looked out, just in time to see a beggar-looking child lying on the road. He seemed to be frightened by the sudden arrival of the carriage. Now he was lying on the ground, not daring to cry. His legs were shaking and he was holding his head tightly as if he was afraid that the coachman would beat him.
"Don't do that."
Gu Qingsheng stopped him and was about to get off the carriage with a frown, but the little beggar's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard her voice.
He stood up immediately. Although he was still a little scared and pale, his eyes were shining.
After taking a closer look, Gu Qingsheng realized that this child was one of the younger ones rescued by Leiman a few days ago.
