Behind the rockery, a woman in a goose-yellow dress, about twelve or thirteen years old, was squatting on the ground with a lonely face.
The little maid next to her, holding a big black dog, came over and said comfortingly: "Miss, don't be sad. The eldest son of the eldest grandson is the eldest son of the Sikong Mansion and the nephew of the queen. In addition, there is a eldest son of the grandson family.
There is nothing surprising about him marrying Her Royal Highness Princess Changle... To be honest, there is nothing good about Mr. Changsun. There are many virtuous and talented people in Chang'an City, so why should we care about him."
This girl, named Gao Liyun, was the eldest daughter of Xu Guogong Gao Shilian, the Minister of Civil Affairs of the dynasty, and the sister of Gao Xingcheng, the best friend of Chang Sun Chong.
Gao Liyun has liked Changsun Chong since she was a child. Even if outsiders look down on Changsun Chong, in her eyes, Changsun Chong is the most perfect.
However, now that Changsun Chong is about to marry Princess Changle, she has gotten nothing, so she naturally feels very lonely and sad.
What girl is not pregnant?
The little maid sighed with emotion: "Oh, miss, you are just too infatuated, but what's the use? Mr. Changsun doesn't even know."
"So what if you know, so what if you don't know... Now, nothing matters!"
Gao Liyun stood up, turned around, picked up a snack on the table, and threw it to the ground.
The big black dog saw it, drooled, rushed over, and ate the snacks in a few seconds.
Gao Liyun said slowly: "I fed all my infatuation to the dogs. From now on, we are separated by mountains and rivers and will never be the same again!"
…
evening.
Outside Yanxing Gate of Chang'an City, on a hill.
Du He stood with his hands behind his hands, wearing a white gown with fluttering sleeves, giving him a somewhat reclusive and independent look.
Zhang Jian said from the side: "Master, in another hour, the Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival will begin. Just now, the city gate has been closed, and many spies have appeared around our Dream Group. It is very difficult to enter the city at this time.
!Isn’t it clear that we are not allowed to enter the city? This is really too much!"
"hehe……"
Du He smiled nonchalantly and said: "Do you really think that I can't get in if the city gate is closed? Your Majesty and Queen, they tried every means to prevent me from appearing at the Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival, just because they were worried that I would cause trouble... It's a pity, this young master
It won’t go as they wish. This time, if you want to play something big, let’s bring news to Lu Yuan so that he must be extremely vigilant and don’t let anything slip at the last moment.”
"yes!"
Du He looked at the sky and said calmly: "I'm going to take a nap. Call me in an hour."
…
This year's Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival will begin at three o'clock in the morning.
The location is in Fufeng Garden in East Neiyuan.
The entire Fufeng Garden is located on an artificial island, surrounded by lakes. There is only an artificial corridor connecting the land. The scenery is extremely beautiful. The most important thing is that it is the best place to admire the moon. When the full moon appears, the water surface will sparkle.
The moon in the water and the moon in the sky are intertwined, which is shocking.
Half an hour ago, everyone except Li Er and Queen Changsun arrived.
Everyone was seated, surrounded by palace ministers, but in the middle of the scene were today's protagonists—the talented people who had been invited to participate in the Mid-Autumn Poetry Competition.
Changsun Chong sat in the front row, feeling very high-spirited and very unhappy.
He looked back at Yu Jie and asked with some anxiety: "Mr. Yu, what if the title of the poem for this year's Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival is no longer the moon?"
Yu Jie said confidently: "Master Changsun, please rest assured. This Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival is held every year, and the theme of the poem every year is the moon. Moreover, Master Changsun has already gone to Wende Palace to meet the queen, and the queen said that this year's theme is still the moon.
"
"That way...I feel relieved!" Changsun Chong said, and then with the help of Yu Jie, he reviewed the poem he memorized last night.
In a pavilion not far away, those sitting were all female relatives, including the wives and daughters of ministers.
This Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival is actually a blind date gathering. Young talents take turns to perform on the stage. Anyone who is outstanding will be spotted by these female relatives. When the time comes, they will find someone to match them up, and naturally they will have a beautiful marriage.
At this moment, among the crowd, a pair of beautiful eyes were staring at Changsun Chong without blinking. It was Gao Liyun.
At this moment, Gao Liyun saw a young eunuch hurried in, walked directly to Chang Sun Chong, whispered something, and then saw Chang Sun Chong follow the young eunuch out with a face full of joy.
Changsun Chong walked and asked happily: "It's really beautiful... Oh no, it was Her Highness Princess Changle who asked you to invite me?"
The little eunuch answered honestly: "Mr. Changsun, yes, the princess asked me to invite you. She has already prepared a banquet and wants to have a chat with you before the meeting begins!"
"Haha, the princess is so polite. We will be a family from now on. I'm so touched by seeing others like this..." Changsun Chong said, but his heart was filled with joy.
Under the leadership of the young eunuch, Changsun Chong came to the East Neiyuan in a short time and entered a garden with beautiful scenery.
As soon as he entered, Changsun Chong saw Li Lizhi in the pavilion in the distance.
He shouted happily: "Princess, I'm coming!"
Then he rushed into the pavilion in three steps and two steps at a time, only to see that the table in the center of the pavilion was already filled with delicacies and an exquisite wine pot.
Li Lizhi stood up and said, "Cousin, please sit down."
"In that case, I won't be polite. Cousin Li, the Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival will start soon. What do you mean?" Changsun Chong wiped his hands on his clothes and asked curiously after sitting down.
Li Lizhi covered her mouth and smiled: "Cousin, you have to perform well tonight. Wouldn't it be a pity if you don't get the first place? I heard that cousin, you have arrived at the palace a long time ago. I haven't eaten yet, so I will
We have prepared good wine and good food, and I wish you the best in advance."
"Ah...haha, my cousin is really interested, come on, come on!" Changsun Chong felt happy in his heart. Princess Changle, who used to be indifferent to him, actually prepared good wine and good food for him today, doesn't it mean,
Has your fortune turned around?
Li Lizhi personally poured the pot of wine that Du He had left last night for her eldest grandson. The pill had already been put in the wine.
Changsun Chong took two sips and said happily: "Good wine, good wine..."
So I drank a few more glasses.
Seeing that it was getting late, Changsun Chong stood up and left.
Li Lizhi hurriedly arranged for the young eunuch just now to send Changsun Chong back.
…
In Fufeng Garden.
Gao Liyun saw with his own eyes that Changsun Chong had left and never returned. Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival was about to begin, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
At this moment, a little palace maid hurried over, leaned into Gao Liyun's ear, and whispered: "Miss Gao, the eldest grandson is outside. He said he has something to say to you."
"Really? Where is he? Take me to see him quickly!" Gao Liyun stood up excitedly, pulled the little palace maid and walked out.
