"Why do we have an appointment to meet here today?" They followed Gu Liang from a distance for a while and found that he quickly turned behind a rockery.
Because there was still some distance between them, when Gu Xuan and others quickened their pace and walked to the side of the rockery, they happened to hear Gu Liang's voice coming from behind the rockery.
Gu Xuan paused, and then another female voice came from the rockery.
"It's not convenient anywhere else."
This female voice sounded very familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was for a while. The voice of the other party was not loud, and Gu Xuan couldn't understand it with just one sentence.
The only thing that can be confirmed is that Gu Liang came here to have a private meeting with a woman!
Although she was not familiar with this voice, Gu Xuan was certain that this voice was definitely not Zhan Rong's.
Gu Liang is indeed not a good person. He is already engaged to Zhan Rong, but he takes advantage of the little time at the banquet to have private meetings with other women...
Gu Xuan secretly thought that her decision to help Zhan Rong was very useful. Otherwise, how much anger would Zhan Rong have to suffer in the future according to Hu Liang's charming temperament?
Grandma Sun also heard the movement inside the rockery. She frowned and stepped forward to hold Gu Xuan's arm, her expression showing disapproval.
Gu Xuan is still too young, these things are not something she should encounter at her age.
She pulled Gu Xuan and tried to pull her out. Gu Xuan's eyes widened and she looked at Grandma Sun with confusion.
She tried to break free from Grandma Sun's hand, but during her struggle, she stepped on dry leaves on the ground. The sound she made made the man and woman behind the rockery suddenly fell silent.
"Who's out there?"
——This is Gu Liang's alert voice.
Before Gu Xuan could say anything, Grandma Sun pulled her to the path outside with a tough attitude.
Although they did not meet formally, the footsteps of Grandma Sun and others were not deliberately concealed.
Just now, Gu Liang and the woman were startled by the sound outside. It was just when they felt guilty that they couldn't have failed to pay attention to the footsteps outside.
This can be seen from the fact that they did not chase them out from behind the rockery.
They must have heard that there were a lot of people outside, so the two of them hid and didn't dare to come out.
Gu Xuan had an unhappy look on her face when she was pulled out by Nanny Sun. Nanny Sun took her a little further away. Seeing that she was still a little unhappy, she explained: "Princess, today is your birthday, and the birthday party hasn't been held yet." The banquet is about to begin, and I am afraid that the unlucky thing will bump into you."
A secret meeting behind a rockery in broad daylight... This man has nothing to do with his princess, so why did he have to go and break it up?
Grandma Sun followed Gu Xuan and others all the way here. She knew that the man was the eldest son of the Sixth Prince. Although she didn't say it clearly, there was a bit of disdain in her eyes.
No wonder it was a thing raised by an ignorant concubine. It was so shameless that it actually used her princess's birthday party to have a private meeting.
Grandma Sun had a bad feeling about Gu Liang in her heart. A flash of light flashed in her eyes, thinking that she had already made up her mind.
The doubts in Gu Xuan's heart were dispelled one by one. Just now she was thinking about exposing Gu Liang, but she never thought that the time was not right at that time.
Not to mention that the banquet has not started yet, which will affect the recent birthday banquet. There are not many people around, so this matter needs to be dealt with slowly.
"Princess!" Gu Xuan was thinking deeply when Taoxiang trotted over: "So you are here! The queen asked her servants to come to you. The birthday banquet will start soon. Let's go back to Baohe Hall quickly!"
Gu Xuan and others returned to the banquet again. It was a coincidence that she met her father when she walked to the entrance of Baohe Hall. Han Xianzong had just come over after handling recent political affairs, and unexpectedly she ran into Gu Xuan as soon as she arrived.
Hearing Gu Xuan sweetly call him father, he couldn't help laughing, touched the top of her hair, and said warmly:
"Axuan, I wish you a happy birthday."
"Thank you, Father," Gu Xuan led Han Xianzong into the palace, and everyone below saluted.
When Emperor Xianzong of the Han Dynasty took his seat, he raised his hand to signal them to excuse themselves and swept his eyes from the seats one by one. At this time, Gu Liangcai hurriedly took his seat from behind.
The attention of others was not here, but they just glanced at him lightly. The sixth prince's palms almost became sweaty. He couldn't help but glare at his son, feeling that he had grown so big in vain and almost caused trouble when he entered the palace.
It was even later than the emperor came... Fortunately, he still had some brains and knew to sit in a circle from the back. Otherwise, even if Emperor Xianzong of the Han Dynasty did not blame him and asked him alone, the Sixth Prince would have felt embarrassed. face.
Gu Liang's heart was beating wildly, but luckily he caught up...
Only Gu Cheng glanced at him with an indifferent expression.
The eldest princess of Xiangjia had a distinguished status. Everyone knew that Emperor Xianzong of Han Dynasty doted on this daughter, so he naturally put great effort into her birthday party.
Many courtiers presented exquisite jade ornaments and jewelry. Even though Gu Xuan saw many good things while following her mother, she was still shocked by the exquisiteness of some gifts.
Among them, a piece of blood jade carved in the shape of a gardenia won her heart.
This was a gift from the right prime minister to her. The blood jade used was the finest blood jade. Not only was it carved into the shape of a gardenia, it was even secretly made with gardenia, making this piece of blood jade exude a fine quality. The fragrance of gardenia.
Gu Xuan likes gardenias, and she also likes the light and pleasant fragrance of gardenias. Moreover, this piece of blood jade is exquisitely made and can be hung as a jade pendant. She likes it in her heart.
Xie Ziyue saw that her daughter liked this gift the most and praised the right minister's wife for her thoughtfulness.
After Lin Xizhao identified Gu Xuan, this was the first good look she showed to the right prime minister's wife in public.
Mrs. Youxiang was happy, and she was glad that the birthday gift she sent this time tickled the itch of Princess Xiangjia.
The gardenias made of blood jade were properly kept aside by the palace staff and were ready to be sent to Weiyang Palace after the other adults had given their birthday gifts.
However, the birthday gifts that followed were all just average and certainly not bad in terms of luxury, but the most satisfying thing was the blood jade carved into a gardenia.
While she was thinking about how to reveal Gu Liang's true face and make him look embarrassed in public, she was also thinking about how to use her favorite gift.
The gardenia made of blood jade is exquisite in style, and even has a special hole. It would also be good to use as a jade pendant...
Gu Xuan just thought about it, and everyone exchanged cups. In the afternoon, Xie Ziyue took the female family members to the imperial garden. This time was specially given to the young ladies of the right age to express themselves. They could recite poems and compose poems here.
These ladies had been warned by their mothers before entering the palace, so naturally they would not give up this opportunity easily.
They competed for beauty in the imperial garden, and many of the poems even seemed good to a layman like Gu Xuan.
The flowers in the Royal Garden have not yet bloomed, but with such a group of girls here, they really look more delicate than the flowers and the scenery is pleasant.
