Reborn Noble Daughter and First Wife

Chapter 68

The box is full of sets of head jewelry, the most eye-catching one is a set of ruby ​​head jewelry.The clear and translucent gems are all high-quality pigeon blood red, embedded in the red gold jewelry, extremely gorgeous and eye-catching.

The aunt in charge saw the admiration in Gu Qinglian's eyes, so she smiled and said, "How about Young Mistress Shen wearing this hair mask? Pair it with the clothes that the imperial concubine and empress rewarded you, and you will be able to outshine everyone."

As he spoke, he ordered the little maid behind him to hand over a brocade burden, and when he opened it, it was a tulle palace dress with peonies embroidered on a white background.

Daqi's clothing is not considered conservative. Folk women often wear silk and gauze in summer, while the styles of palace attire are more open, with lower chest openings, usually showing about three inches of tube top.

Gu Qinglian had never worn this kind of ancient palace attire. Seeing that the fabric was thin and soft, and the embroidery was exquisite, she was also very curious, so she thanked the aunt in charge with a smile, and asked Ruyi and Bihen to wait for her to change into clothes and jewelry.

When Gu Qinglian finished dressing up and came out from behind the screen, she couldn't help showing surprise in her eyes when she saw the aunt in charge who had seen many beauties.

Ordinary women always feel a little overwhelming when wearing this kind of palace attire. It's not that people wear clothes, but clothes wear people.Gu Qinglian is generous, neither arrogant nor arrogant, her gestures are natural and smooth, and she is not at all uncomfortable.

Her appearance may not be the best, but her bearing is beyond the reach of ordinary women.It's a bit indifferent to be open-minded.The aunt in charge thought to herself, after all, she is Concubine Gu's niece, her style is even better than that of the master in the palace.

This is the benefit of Gu Qinglian's time travel. Modern people's well-informed and psychological advantages give her a calmness that has seen the world in every way.

The aunt in charge led a row of seven or eight maids, and walked back with Gu Qinglian and a few maidservants, lighting up the glazed palace lanterns.

The road to the palace is very distinctive. It is not a flat and straight road, but undulating with the shape of the mountain, which is wonderful for changing scenery with each step.

The moonlight was bright, and after walking for a while, the aunt in charge pointed to the place not far away where the lights were burning and smiled at Gu Qinglian: "Young Mistress Shen, that's where it is."

By the moonlight, one can vaguely see that it is a flat grassy slope in the mountains, piles of bonfires are burning vigorously, and there are lamps everywhere, even the moonlight is overshadowed.

Walking to the grassy slope, the aunt in charge sang loudly: "Mrs. Shen Shao from General Weiyuan's residence is here."

All the people gathered on the grass slope saluted one after another, and made way for a path in the middle.

Everyone knows that Gu Diejing is the emperor's favorite concubine, and Shen Congjia is the emperor's favorite general.Gu Diejing's niece and Shen Congjia's first wife, naturally everyone should look up to them.

Gu Qinglian smiled dignifiedly and generously, holding up the hem of her skirt and walking behind the mother in charge.

In the middle of the grassy slope, several low tables and couches were scattered. Gu Diejing was sitting on the right side with a smile on his face. On the bright yellow seat in the middle, sat a handsome man in his early thirties.

Gu Qinglian knew that it was the current emperor Zhou Sicheng, so she knelt down and saluted with a smile, saying long live.

Zhou Sicheng raised his hand to avoid her gift, and Concubine Gu hurriedly asked for a seat.

After Gu Qinglian was seated, Zhou Sicheng saw her face clearly.A pretty oval face, somewhat similar to Concubine Gu.But apart from eyebrows and eyes, her demeanor and demeanor are completely different from Concubine Gu Guifei.

Concubine Gu Gui is beautiful and dignified, but this Gu Qinglian has a free and unrestrained demeanor, unlike the daughter of a family who grew up in a boudoir, she is somewhat masculine.

Zhou Sicheng could not help but look at her a few more times.

Concubine Gu Gui also saw the astonishment in the emperor's eyes, her eyes flickered, and she hurriedly smiled and said to the emperor: "Your majesty, why don't you call Major General Shen over? Lian'er has only been married to the Shen family for less than a year, and the young couple are like glue." when."

Zhou Sicheng was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "What my concubine said is absolutely true." Then he ordered the little eunuch who was accompanying him to call Shen Congjia over.

The emperor didn't even bring the empress with him this time to escape the summer heat in the western mountains. The women in the harem only brought Concubine Gu and a few concubines of lower status.

Hearing that Shen Congjia was coming, Gu Qinglian's heart suddenly jumped.

Although she had decided to completely alienate this man, she was still a little confused when she thought of seeing him soon.

Shen Congjia was dressed in a black outfit, with only his eyes shining brightly.

"Major General Shen, sit with Lian'er! We haven't seen each other for a few days, and the young couple just happened to have a private conversation." Concubine Gu arranged it properly, and after she finished speaking, she glanced at the emperor.

The emperor stared at Gu Qinglian, but put his arm around Gu Diejing's waist: "It's still the concubine who knows how to be considerate to the people."

Shen Congjia thanked her, and walked towards Gu Qinglian.

Gu Qinglian stood up, saluted Shen Congjia in a regular manner, said hello, and then sat down gracefully under the eyes of everyone.

She didn't know Shen Congjia's expression, she never looked at him from the beginning to the end.

It's not that she's hypocritical, she's really afraid to look into Shen Congjia's eyes.Because, even if she didn't meet his eyes directly, she could feel the burning of his eyes.

At this moment, Shen Congjia was sitting beside her, and with so many people watching, Gu Qinglian had no choice but to pretend to be affectionate, and chatted up with Shen Congjia with a smile: "The scenery here is beautiful!"

"Well. Not bad."

Shen Congjia's answer made Gu Qinglian speechless for a while.Can this person chat?It's clear that I just don't want to talk to her!
But the play still has to be played.She had no choice but to bite the bullet again and said, "It's so strange, even though there's a bonfire burning, you don't feel hot sitting so close."

"The wind blows the other way."

As Shen Congjia said, he still took a look at her.

Gu Qinglian was embarrassed.Is Shen Congjia despising her IQ?She's really not that stupid, she's just picking up a topic!

She really didn't pay attention to which direction the wind was blowing!All her attention is focused on how to play a dignified wife!

"It's late at night, and there are no mosquitoes here." Seeing Concubine Gu Guifei looking in this direction, Gu Qinglian could only continue laughing and looking for something to talk about.

"Cantine grows on this grassy slope, so naturally there will be no mosquitoes."

"Xiang Ting? What is it?" Gu Qinglian heard this term for the first time.

Shen Congjia finally turned his face completely, and looked at her seriously: "Young Mistress Shen, Xiangting is a kind of grass, the kind that is under your feet."

He pulled a blade of grass from the ground and handed it to her.

There were four words clearly written in his eyes: ignorant and incompetent.

Gu Qinglian's face turned red all of a sudden.Can this be her fault!She is wearing it!Many of the plants here are different from the ones she has seen in her previous life, okay?
I'm really going to be so mad at Shen Congjia's eyes!
She angrily refused to pick up the grass, pretended to be very thirsty, picked up the cup on the table and took a big sip.

Shen Congjia's hand stopped in mid-air awkwardly, before he could take it back, he heard Gu Qinglian coughing earth-shatteringly.

"This is strong wine. What are you drinking so much for?" Shen Congjia lowered his hands slowly, his voice very cold.

shit!Gu Qinglian was almost depressed to death.It's so hateful!The glass is not filled with water!It turned out to be spirits!

She coughed so badly that she coughed up tears!Concubine Gu Guifei personally came over to offer condolences, and after finding out the reason, she smiled and said: "It's okay, if you're really drunk, just ask Major General Shen to carry you back."

When Gu Qinglian heard this, she coughed even worse.

When she finally finished coughing, she immediately glared at Shen Congjia: "You know it contains wine, why didn't you remind me!"

There is still benevolence and righteousness in the failure of the business. Although she and Shen Congjia have a lot of holidays, they are still a couple in name after all!

"I didn't have time." Shen Congjia said it lightly, and there was even a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Gu Qinglian stared at the corner of his mouth, wishing to reach out and tear it off.

The drama of conjugal love can no longer be played out.Although Gu Qinglian had a smile on her face, she had completely given up on approaching Shen Congjia.

Shen Congjia was very calm and did not see anything unusual.

The wild game is roasted very well, fresh and delicious, full of the natural aroma of the food, much more delicious than the modern roasted meat sprinkled with cumin pepper.Gu Qinglian ate several pieces.

Watching the singing and dancing, eating barbecue, and blowing the cool night breeze, Gu Qinglian enjoyed herself, pretending that the man beside her did not exist.

Not far away, Emperor Daqi was whispering to his concubine: "Diejing, there seems to be something wrong between your niece and General Shen."

Gu Diejing glanced at the emperor, and seeing him staring at Gu Qinglian, felt displeasure in his heart.But there was still a smile on his face: "What's wrong? The concubine looks fine, it's called affection when a young couple fights and fights!"

Now she regrets calling Gu Qinglian here.The way the emperor looked at Gu Qinglian was very similar to the way he looked at himself back then.

However, she convinced herself that even if the emperor fell in love with Gu Qinglian, so what?Gu Qinglian is Shen Congjia's first wife, and Zhou Sicheng should not be so stupid if she robs her courtiers of women!
Shen Congjia also noticed the way the emperor looked at Gu Qinglian.He frowned, and quietly turned his body to the outside, blocking the emperor's sight.

The women around were still eating barbecue without restraint.Shen Congjia was speechless.Such a gaffe, when people saw it, they thought the Shen family was starving her!
After eating too much barbecue, Gu Qinglian was very thirsty.But the bad news is that there is no white water on the table!Only spirits and lighter fruit wines.

Naturally, there is no need to think about spirits, so Gu Qinglian had no choice but to pick up the fruit wine and take a small sip.

what!The taste is unexpectedly good!The sweet and sour taste is slightly spicy with a touch of wine, which is a bit like apple cider vinegar.

Gu Qinglian was greedy for drinks, drank two glasses, felt that the ice and cold were very comfortable, and poured herself another glass.

Shen Congjia watched coldly, wanting to remind her that fruit wine can also make people drunk.But seeing her with a cold face, as if she was too lazy to talk to him, she silently swallowed the reminder.

Does she want to get drunk?This way you don't have to sit with him so uncomfortable.

Shen Congjia felt bored, picked up the spirits in front of him, raised his head and drank it down.

Singing and dancing one after another, each one was very exciting, but Gu Qinglian's head became heavier and heavier, and the moon in the sky began to double, a fire slowly burned in her chest, and the crimson dyed her cheeks little by little. , Gu Qinglian secretly thought that it was not good, this feeling, how does it feel like drunk?
She almost spit out that glass of spirits!Why is sweet fruit wine also on top?
