Chapter 106 Close the Moon and Shy Flower

Early the next morning, Gu Qing changed into clean and tidy clothes and stood waiting outside Yang Guifei's temporary palace early.

Xianyu Zhongtong waited with him until the morning, when a eunuch slowly walked out and told Xianyu Zhongtong and Gu Qing that the imperial concubine was here to see them.

As the eunuch entered the palace, Gu Qing's mood was still unexcited.

Mentality is related to experience, and I have to admit that there are indeed differences between people. Children who have never seen the world will get excited and lose their temper when they see a certain 18th-tier starlet, thinking how lucky they are to meet a star, while those who have seen a big star will

People in the world can maintain inner peace no matter who they meet, and their attitude should be neither humble nor arrogant.

No matter how big a person is, they are still human beings. They eat, drink and poop like ordinary people. They still cry out in pain when they are beaten. Their posture when picking their noses is not necessarily prettier than ordinary people. Their expressions are still ferocious when they are constipated.

Thinking about it this way, what is there to be excited about when meeting a so-called big shot?

Gu Qing has met many big shots in his previous life. No matter how big the boss is, no matter how beautiful the star is, when meeting him, he only needs to imagine in his mind what they looked like when they were constipated or picking their noses. Gu Qing's mood instantly became calm, and he even felt a little bit inside

dislike.

This kind of psychological construction seems a bit unkind, but it is very helpful in dealing with people. In the eyes of others, Gu Qing is always so calm and never loses his composure. His calm, neither humble nor overbearing attitude attracts the favor of countless people. No one knows Gu Qing's

How dirty is it in my heart to have such a calm expression?

Xianyu Zhongtong walked in front of Gu Qing, looking back at Gu Qing from time to time, with a mixture of surprise and appreciation in his eyes.

When Gu Qing learned that Xian Yu Zhongtong was the Jiedushi Envoy, he did not show any signs of shock. Today, he was about to meet the most favored concubine of the emperor in the world, and he did not see how excited and happy he was.

This young man always has a calm and indifferent look, as if no one in the world has the right to make him excited and shocked. His expression is more vivid than when he is bored digging an ant nest.

Xianyu Zhongtong felt more and more that Gu Qing, a young man, was very mysterious and the city was very deep. At only seventeen years old, he was already elusive even for the Jiedushi Commander.

Gu Qing is the calmest and calmest young man he has ever seen in his life, bar none. He can't even feel the arrogance and unruliness that a young man should have in Gu Qing. All he sees in Gu Qing's eyes is calmness, as if Gu Qing's

The soul of an old man who has gone through many vicissitudes of life lives in his body, and he can silently see through the fog of the world and see directly into his heart.

The place where Concubine Yang summoned Gu Qing was still the small pavilion. Gu Qing and Xian Yu Zhongtong walked through the corridor of the palace, walked through the winding waterside pavilion, and came to the pavilion.

From a distance, Gu Qing saw a beautiful lady in palace clothes wearing a thick cloak sitting in the pavilion, looking at the broken lotus leaves on the pond in a daze. The eunuch next to him coughed lightly, and whispered to the woman.

Saying something, the woman came back to her senses and turned her wonderful eyes to Gu Qing.

Gu Qing met her eyes, and for some reason his heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat.

She is indeed one of the four beauties in history. She is truly stunning. In that moment, Gu Qing suddenly understood why Li Longji abandoned the world for the rest of his life and only indulged in the gentle countryside.

Any normal man in the world would be willing to die drunk on her tenderness.

Even a straight man like Gu Qing, who has almost no distinction between men and women in his eyes, finds her beauty suffocating. Is there any other man in the world who can't be tempted by her at all?

Gu Qing and Yang Guifei's eyes met each other. Literally speaking, this was truly "a glance for a thousand years."

When Xian Yu Zhongtong saw Gu Qing's expression, he couldn't help but secretly became anxious and shouted in a low voice: "How dare you look directly at the imperial concubine? Don't lose your etiquette!"

Gu Qing hurriedly lowered his head and closed his eyes.

In the pavilion, Concubine Yang looked at Gu Qing with great interest, looked up and down, and suddenly covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Is this the young man who said, 'It's hard to give up on natural beauty'?"

Gu Qing bowed his eyes and bowed: "Gu Qing, a common man, pays homage to the noble concubine."

Concubine Yang smiled and said: "You are indeed a young man, he should be less than twenty-nine years old, right?"

"Yes, Cao Min is seventeen years old this year."

Concubine Yang praised: "You have such talent at the age of seventeen, which shows that your Majesty's Tang Dynasty has a large number of talents and the country will be eternal."

Xian Yu Zhongtong was the first to say: "The civil, political and martial arts of the Holy Emperor are of great significance in ancient and modern times, and the Tang Dynasty has been prosperous for all generations."

The surrounding eunuchs, maids, and officials all bowed to Concubine Yang and said in unison: "The Tang Dynasty will be prosperous for all generations."

Gu Qing lowered his head and said nothing, sighing secretly in his heart.

The prosperity of a dynasty comes quietly amid criticism, while the decline of a dynasty often begins with praise for its virtues.

Concubine Yang ordered everyone to refrain from courtesy, then looked at Gu Qing and said with a smile: "You are able to compose such a wonderful poem at such a young age. I think your talent is not inferior to that of Li Taibai, the imperial edict of the Han Dynasty. Gu Qing, tell the truth.

Why did you write that poem? Was it written specifically for me?"

Gu Qing lowered his head and said: "Yes, because it is said that the beauty of the imperial concubine is rare in ancient times and modern times, and the common people cannot see the blessings. They can only imagine it out of thin air. The more they think about it, the more they admire her. Recently, they heard that the imperial concubine arrived in Shuzhou, and the common people were overjoyed, so

I wrote this poem to express my congratulations to the noble concubine."

Xianyu Zhongtong's cheeks twitched when he heard this, and he really wanted to kick Gu Qing out of the pavilion. Gu Qing's words were really rude. When kings and ministers meet each other these days, the king has the courtesy of the king, and the minister has the courtesy of the minister. What can I say?

There are strict rules on what to say and what kind of etiquette to perform, but Gu Qing didn't understand it and praised Concubine Yang to the extreme. Although they were all good words, it was too frivolous to praise Concubine Yang in front of the concubine and how beautiful she was.

Extremely rude.

Not only Xianyu Zhongtong, but also the eunuchs in the pavilion changed their expressions. The whisks in their hands trembled slightly, trying to resist the urge to scold.

Concubine Yang was very happy to hear this. She covered her little mouth and giggled, her branches trembling with laughter. She didn't care how rude Gu Qing's words were. In her eyes, Gu Qing was just a peasant child who had not received any etiquette education.

Disobedience is not a bad thing, after all, Gu Qing's praise just now was sincere.

There is no woman who doesn't like other people's praise. The only difference is that some express their joy in their expressions, while some only feel happy secretly in their hearts. The joyful mood is the same.

Concubine Yang is obviously the type who beams with joy after being praised.

Seeing that Concubine Yang was so happy, Xian Yu Zhongtong and the eunuchs in the pavilion did not dare to scold Gu Qing. They just cast warning glances at him and warned Gu Qing to restrain himself.

Gu Qing didn't care about so much. This was an opportunity to hug his thigh. How could he not hug her tightly? Not only should he hug her, but he should also lick her.

"Young man looks unhappy by nature, but he has a clever mouth. He really knows how to talk. Did someone teach you to say that?" Concubine Yang giggled.

Gu Qing said sincerely: "They are all from the hearts of ordinary people, not a single word is false."

Concubine Yang chuckled and said, "I don't believe it. I have never seen a young man as glib as you. You don't look like a child from a farmer's family, but you look like those young men who grew up surrounded by makeup and powder."

Gu Qing sighed secretly, these few words are "glib"? If you have heard the earthy love words from the past life, you may be so excited that you will urinate.

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Qing decided to flatter him again. He needed a strong backer. At present, it seemed that Yang Guifei had a good impression of him, so he must consolidate this impression and make her favor him even deeper.

In the future, he won't be able to be grasped by a small county magistrate like Huang Wenjin.

From the first day he came to this world, Gu Qing had a clear plan for his future. Every step he took was crucial, and meeting Yang Guifei today was the top priority in his plan.

Digging ant nests doesn't count, it's extremely boring.

"The Imperial Concubine, the common people also came up with two words, which are related to the Imperial Concubine. I wonder if you can tell them?"

Xian Yu Zhongtong and the eunuchs next to him suddenly felt anxious again. The eunuch's eyes looked at Gu Qing with a hint of pleading.

You're not done yet, are you? Why do you have to be on the verge of death and try this crazy thing?

Concubine Yang covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Two words? But it doesn't matter if you say it, and you won't be punished if you don't say it well."

Gu Qing lowered his head and said: "Yes, the common people remembered that there were three beauties before the Tang Dynasty. One was Xi Shi, who was called 'Chen Yu', the second was Wang Zhaojun, who was called 'Luo Yan', and the third was Diao Chan, who was called 'Close the Moon'.

Then the fourth beauty, ordinary people think that she must be the imperial concubine."

When Concubine Yang heard Gu Qing compare her with three other beauties in ancient times, she couldn't help but feel elated and said happily: "Then how should I describe her?"

"The common people heard rumors that during the Kaiyuan period, the imperial concubine was admiring flowers in the garden. After touching a flower, the flower suddenly closed its petals. A palace official nearby said that wherever the empress passed, even the most delicate flowers were found.

The flowers were ashamed and had to close their petals. Therefore, the common people felt that it was appropriate to describe the imperial concubine as a 'shameful flower'."

Concubine Yang murmured: "When the fish falls and the goose falls, the moon is shy of the flower... shame of the flower, shame of the flower... am I the 'shame of the flower'?"

"The common people have no status and spoke to Meng Lang, asking the concubine to be punished. But what the common people just said was from the heart, without a trace of adulteration. The common people thought it was extremely appropriate to describe the imperial concubine as a "shameful flower".

In a thousand years, only four beauties have left their names in history. Since the time of the Imperial Concubine, ordinary people thought that there was no more beauty in the world."

This flattery is extremely wonderful. It is said that there will be no more beauties after the imperial concubine. In fact, it should be that since Gu Qing, there has never been such an explicit and powerful flatterer in the world. Through the ages, this flatterer has never been repaid.

The colorful colors are the most brilliant and dazzling.

Gu Qing's expression was calm, but there was a layer of white sweat on his back. He was also afraid of saying the wrong thing, and he was also afraid that the eunuch would beat him with a stick before the flattery was finished.
