Chapter 1133, What bad intentions could Young Master Gu have?
Peach Blossom Mountain in March is when the peach blossoms are at their most beautiful. The peach blossoms blooming all over the mountain make everyone walking among them intoxicated.
"This place is simply a paradise on earth. It would be great if I could live here forever!" Tang Zixin said to Lord Tang with a smile.
Lord Tang glanced at his eldest daughter, who was looking very excited, and then looked at his second daughter, who was following his wife obediently. Thinking of the previous reply, which specifically asked him to bring his two daughters, he couldn't help feeling excited.
The eldest daughter is pretty and lively, the second daughter is gentle and well-behaved, and they had played together as a child. Maybe the Tang family can really marry into the Duke's Mansion!
"Don't talk nonsense when you see the old Duke later."
Tang Zixin nodded obediently.
Soon, led by the servants, the Tang family entered Taohua Temple and saw Gu Jian lying in a rocking chair in the yard basking in the sun.
Lord Tang wanted to take his wife and daughter to pay their respects, but was stopped by Dong Li who was standing by: "The old man has fallen asleep. Lord Tang, please go and pay your respects to the emperor and the prince first, and then come back to pay your respects to the old man later."
Lord Tang will certainly respond...
When Lord Tang went to meet the Emperor and the Crown Prince, Madam Tang took sisters Tang Zixin and Tang Zijin to meet the Crown Princess.
Although the emperor wanted to arrange Gu Moyan's marriage personally, it was impossible for him to do everything himself, so most of the things were left to the Crown Princess.
The Crown Princess has been very busy during this period and has met many young ladies.
After chatting with Mrs. Tang for a while, the Crown Princess began to look at the two girls from the Tang family and asked them some questions.
Tang Zixin was better at speaking and got most of the Crown Princess's attention.
Seeing that Tang Zijin couldn't get a word in for a long time, Mrs. Tang could only sit aside and worry.
It’s not that Tang Zijin can’t speak, she just doesn’t like to agree with others or say flattering words against her own will.
The imperial concubine observed the performance of the Tang family's mother and daughter. After chatting for a while, she looked at Madam Tang with a smile and said, "The peach blossoms on the mountain are in full bloom. Let the two girls go out for a walk."
Madam Tang immediately smiled and said to Tang Zixin and her sister, "Why don't you thank the Crown Princess quickly?"
Tang Zixin and Tang Zijin quickly stood up and saluted.
The Crown Princess smiled and said, "Stop being so polite."
Tang Zijin finished her blessing and was about to leave, but Tang Zixin stood still, looking at the Crown Princess with a smile: "Your Highness, I saw that the peach blossoms in the vase in your room are really beautiful. I dared to ask you for two peach blossoms to take back for my grandmother to appreciate."
Hearing this, Mrs. Tang frowned slightly and glanced quickly at Tang Zixin.
Zi Xin is becoming more and more thoughtful. Now she even dares to use her as a cocoon for the old lady.
The Crown Princess had seen all sorts of people. She glanced at the peach blossoms on the coffee table in front of the window and said with a smile, "There are so many peach blossoms on the mountain. You sisters can pick whichever one you like."
Tang Zixin's face was filled with joy, and she bowed happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Watching the Tang sisters leave, the Crown Princess picked up the teacup and slowly took a sip.
The eldest daughter of the Tang family seems to be smart, but unfortunately, she is too goal-oriented.
The second daughter of the Tang family is a bit naive!
The Crown Princess sighed in her heart and decided to urge Yi Yi to come back quickly. It would be better for her to choose her own daughter-in-law.
After leaving the Crown Princess's courtyard, Tang Zixin said directly to Tang Zijin, "I'm going to the top of the mountain to swing. You should go somewhere else."
She had inquired about it before coming. She knew that the swing on Taohua Mountain was made by Prince Weiyuan for Princess Weiyuan. The young master often went there to practice martial arts, so it was the best place to meet by chance.
It just so happened that Tang Zijin didn't want to walk with Tang Zixin, so without saying anything, he took Zhuxin and walked in another direction.
"Since the Crown Princess has allowed us to pick the peach blossoms here, let's pick a few more to take back."
Tang Zijin kept walking among the peach blossoms, and when he saw a beautiful peach branch, he would tiptoe to pick it.
"Girl, what are you going to do?!"
Zhuxin suddenly exclaimed in surprise, and trotted forward to stop Tang Zijin who was trying to climb the tree.
Tang Zijin pointed to a peach blossom above her head and said, "That peach blossom is in full bloom. I want it."
Zhu Xin was extremely anxious: "Oh, my dear girl, you are a lady from a noble family, how can you just climb a tree casually? If someone sees you, you will be laughed at."
Tang Zijin smiled playfully: "Of course I don't know this, but look at this place, it's so remote, no one will come here. Don't worry, I'll be down soon." As he said that, he broke open the bamboo core, grabbed his hand, and climbed up the peach tree nimbly.
Zhuxin's heart beat faster as she watched, and she began to complain in her heart, it's all the young master's fault. If he hadn't taught me how to climb trees, how would I be able to do this?
"Girl, hurry up!"
"I know, I know, don't rush me!"
Tang Zijin was petite and light, and after climbing up the peach tree, she quickly picked the peach blossoms she wanted.
There is always a special feeling when you look at the scenery from a high place. Tang Zijin did not get down from the tree immediately, but stood on the tree and looked at the beautiful scenery of Taohua Mountain.
At Zhu Xin's repeated urging, Tang Zijin was about to go down, but out of the corner of his eye he caught sight of a man and a dog approaching from behind.
Young Master!!!
Tang Zijin was startled and lost his balance, falling down.
"girl!"
Gu Moyan, who had just finished practicing martial arts, had not noticed Tang Zijin and his servant, but Zhu Xin's exclamation attracted his attention.
"Erha, let's go and take a look!"
Gu Moyan walked quickly towards the direction where the sound came from, and soon saw Tang Zijin hanging on the peach tree with his hands tightly grasping the branch.
"You again!"
When Tang Zijin saw Gu Moyan coming, he wanted to die.
She must look awful now.
Just now in a panic, she grabbed the branch of the peach tree. Although she didn't fall, she would rather fall to the ground than hang on the tree.
I wanted to let go and jump, but I didn't dare.
Gu Moyan walked closer and looked at the girl hanging on the tree.
When Zhu Xin saw him, she felt like she had seen a savior: "Young Master, please save my girl!"
Gu Moyan ignored her and looked at Tang Zijin hanging on the tree. She joked, "Whose family are you from? Last time you were picking other people's medicinal herbs, and this time you're picking peach blossoms. You're really capable."
Tang Zijin struggled to hold on: "I didn't mean to pick other people's medicinal herbs. The peach blossoms were picked by the Crown Princess."
Gu Moyan remained silent, then suddenly exclaimed, stroking his chin and saying, "The more I look at you, the more familiar you seem!"
Seeing that her daughter was about to give up, Zhu Xin had to muster up the courage to say, "Young Master, can you rescue my daughter first and then ask her questions?"
Gu Moyan shook his head decisively: "No, men and women shouldn't touch each other. What if I save your girl and she wants to blame me?"
Zhu Xin was dumbfounded: "What about my daughter?"
Gu Moyan shrugged: "How should I know? It's not me who asked her to climb the tree."
