However, this pride does not come without a price.
Taking music and dance as her way, she has spent her whole life chasing it. No wonder Aunt Gongsun’s dancing skills are so exquisite. No wonder there is no man by her side yet. Her thoughts are all on singing and dancing, and she has no time to focus on the relationship between men and women.
Distracted. Therefore, the leaders of various industries in Chang'an City changed almost every year. In the past twenty years, no one could replace Aunt Gongsun.
I admired her, but Bai Yuzhi didn't have the courage to try it. She smiled and responded in a low voice, "How can the eldest sister's state be beyond the reach of mediocre people? In this life, the little sister only wants to have enough food and clothing.
I just need to find a suitable man to marry and let him treat me well for the rest of my life!"
"It's not that you can't reach it, you just can't let it go!" Aunt Gongsun shook her head with a smile, revealing Bai Yunzhi's little thoughts. "Even if he can make great achievements in the future, he can open up the joints with his ability, take you as his concubine, and earn a fortune for you.
Gaoming. You still have to cling to him. Relying on the glory brought by others is not as reliable as fighting for it yourself? When you go to the Liyuan in a few days, you can meet many senior colleagues. When you are with them, you might as well think about it.
Think about me! It’s not too late to take a moment and decide what you want in this life?”
What do you want? What can I get if I want it? Bai Yuzhi smiled slightly and did not refute Aunt Gongsun’s words. The other party came from the deep palace and was used to seeing nobility and splendor. But she grew up in a place with fireworks.
I have worked hard to learn skills since I was a child, just to leave this place as soon as possible. Different experiences lead to different perspectives on things. There is no need to argue, I believe that the other party has good intentions.
When Aunt Gongsun saw that Bai Yuzhi was no longer silent, she thought that her words had moved her. She couldn't help but feel a little relieved in her heart. Just when she was happy, the carriage suddenly stopped suddenly and was caught off guard. The two of them rushed forward at the same time and almost bumped into each other.
On the carriage.
"Laoqu, how did you catch the car?" Rao always had a good temper, but Aunt Gongsun couldn't tolerate this kind of mistake. She stretched out her hand to open the car door and asked forward.
"Back to everyone!" The coachman, Lao Qu, had already jumped down from the shaft of the carriage. He bowed his hands to apologize and explained in a low voice, "Mrs. Guo Guo's convoy suddenly turned out of the intersection in front. The little ones didn't dare to collide, so they had to
Let the carriage stop first. Are you okay? Do you want to go ask the doctor?"
"It's okay! I was just shocked!" Before the coachman Lao Qu finished explaining, Aunt Gongsun had already seen the long line of silver-clad carriages in front of her, shook her head, and took the initiative to extinguish her anger.
"My tail is almost raised to the sky. Have I really forgotten what I am?" Bai Yunzhi couldn't swallow this breath for Gongsun, and blurted out vicious words.
"She's just a poor person. There's no need to be serious with her!" Aunt Gongsun smiled and gently closed the car door. The imperial concubine was kind to herself, and for her sake, she shouldn't treat her sister behind her back.
Pointing fingers.
"She is still pitiful?" In her heart, Bai Yuzhi could not match the words "Mrs. Guo Guo" with "pity". She widened her eyes and protested in a low voice, "Sister, are you right?
The person who drives a silver-clad carriage swaggering through the city every day is actually a pitiful person!!!"
"You only saw the silver layer on the surface!" Aunt Gongsun smiled and shook her head gently, "A woman's family is surrounded by different men all day long. How many banquets does she really want to attend? If she doesn't
If you pretend to be stronger, I'm afraid you will be bullied even more!"
"Her younger sister is the imperial concubine, and her elder brother is Yang Guozhong!" Bai Yuzhi pursed her lips and reminded with a smile.
"The imperial concubine's temperament is not good at grasping power. And that brother of his, haha..." Aunt Gongsun sneered softly, "I'm afraid she wishes there were more men under her skirt so that she could draw in strong support for her.
.Especially at this critical time, whether my sister is happy or not is far less important than having an extra helper!"
Seeing that there was always a trace of confusion on Bai Yongzhi's face, she smiled, raised her voice and asked forward: "Old Qu, did you see clearly where the carriage came from just now?"
"It came from Anxingfang, turned a corner in front of us, and headed for Yongchangfang!" The coachman, Lao Qu, had a very good eye and quickly satisfied the hostess's curiosity.
As long as they are women, they usually like to inquire about some household secrets. Bai Yuzhi is naturally no exception. After hearing the two directions mentioned by the coachman's old song, her brows suddenly wrinkled, "Anxingfang, that's not
Is it where the princes and princesses live? Why did she just come out from there and go to the homes of some princes? "
"Of course he went to seek reinforcements for his brother!" Aunt Gongsun explained in a low voice and in a very understanding tone, "We, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, value brotherhood the most!"
This generation of Emperors of the Tang Dynasty was known as a filial friend before he came to the throne. After becoming the emperor, apart from the sudden murder of Princess Taiping and her party members, he was very generous to his biological brothers and sisters. Not at all like Taizong, Gao
As in the Zong era, he wished he could kill all his biological brothers.
Aiwujiwu, and other descendants of Gaozong and Zhongzong were also taken care of and gathered again near the palace, forming a huge force that affected the personnel changes in the court. At that time, His Majesty the Emperor promoted Yao Chong to the position of Prime Minister against all objections.
, because the latter was supported by the emperor's brother Li Chengqi. And Li Linfu's royal blood also played a very key role in being able to dominate the court for so many years.
This sentence was obviously too profound for Bai Yunzhi. Blinking her big, watery eyes, she couldn't help but speculate on Mrs. Guo Guo's itinerary. In the morning, she rubbed her hair with a prince, and in the afternoon, she lay in bed again.
She fell into the arms of a royal younger brother or uncle, pretending to be a fool and a prostitute. How could this lady of Guo State be as despicable as a prostitute like Pingkangli who just picks up customers casually? (Note 1)
"It's just an exchange of equal value!" Aunt Gongsun sighed again, explaining Mrs. Guo Guo's behavior. "They really thought that the person in the palace couldn't see anything outside. They were just patiently passing by.
It’s just a bit of friendship. If someone exhausts this friendship, it’s inevitable that he will cry sometimes!”
"The one in the palace?" Bai Yunzhi asked, tilting her head as if she didn't know what Gongsun was referring to.
"Pretend, I want you to pretend!" Aunt Gongsun slapped him and said with a smile, "But that's fine! Don't ask, just pretend you didn't see anything. Just wait, it won't take a few days!"
Note 1: There was a big difference between the status of kabuki and prostitutes in ancient times. Kabuki was mostly about performing arts but not selling one's body, which is a bit like today's female stars. Therefore, although Bai Yuzhi came from a wealthy family, she still looked down on the prostitutes in Pingkangli.
