Chapter 106 Close the Moon and Shy Flower
The next morning, Gu Qing changed into clean and tidy clothes and stood outside Yang Guifei's temporary palace waiting early.
Xian Yu Zhongtong waited with him, and waited until the morning before a eunuch slowly walked out of it and told Xian Yu Zhongtong and Gu Qing that the imperial concubine Xuanxing.
As the eunuch walked into the palace, Gu Qing was still not excited.
Mentality is related to experience, and we have to admit that there are indeed differences between people. Children who have never seen the world will be excited and lose their composure when they see a small eighteenth-tier star, and feel how lucky they are to meet stars. People who have seen the world can maintain their inner peace no matter what big person they see, and be neither humble nor arrogant in their attitude.
No matter how big the characters are, they are still human beings. They eat, drink, defecate and urinate like ordinary people. They still scream when they are beaten. Their postures when they pick their noses are not necessarily better than those of ordinary people. Their expressions are still very ferocious when they are constipated.
Thinking about it this way, what is so-called big shots worth being excited about?
Gu Qing has also met many big people in his previous life. No matter how big the boss is or how beautiful the stars are, when they meet, you only need to imagine how they look when they are constipated or pick their noses in their minds. Gu Qing's mood instantly calmed down and even felt a little disgusted inside.
Such psychological construction seems a bit unkind, but it is very helpful to deal with people. Gu Qing in the eyes of others will always be so calm and never lose his composure. His calm attitude, which is neither shocked nor humble nor arrogant, has attracted the favor of countless people. No one knows how dirty Gu Qing is actually in his heart, so he has such a calm expression.
Xian Yu Zhongtong walked in front of Gu Qing and looked back at Gu Qing from time to time, his eyes full of surprise and appreciation.
When Gu Qing first learned about Xianyu Zhongtong's identity as a military governor, he did not show any shock. Today he was about to meet the most favored imperial concubine in the world, and he was not so excited and happy to see him.
The young man always looked calm and calm, as if no one in the world was qualified to excite and shock him. His expression when he was bored digging ant nest was more vivid than at this moment.
Xian Yu Zhongtong felt more and more that Gu Qing was very mysterious and cunning. He was only seventeen years old, so he, the governor, could not understand it.
Gu Qing is the calmest and most calm boy he has ever seen in his life, no doubt. He can't even feel the ostentatiousness and arrogance that a young man should have in Gu Qing. All he sees in Gu Qing's eyes is calm, as if the soul of an old man who has experienced vicissitudes lives in Gu Qing's body, and can see through the fog of worldly love in silence and penetrate into his heart.
The place where Yang Guifei summoned Gu Qing was still the small pavilion. Gu Qing and Xian Yu Zhongtong walked through the corridors of the palace, walked through the winding water pavilions, and came to the pavilion.
Gu Qing saw a beautiful man in a palace dress wearing a thick cloak sitting in the pavilion, holding his chin and looking at the broken lotus leaves on the pond, dazed. The eunuch next to him coughed lightly, and came to the woman and said something in a low voice. The woman came to her senses and turned her beautiful eyes to Gu Qing.
Gu Qing looked at her eyes, and for some reason his heartbeat suddenly missed.
He is indeed one of the four beauties in history, and he is truly stunning. In that moment, Gu Qing suddenly understood why Li Longji abandoned the world in the second half of his life and was only interested in indulging in the gentle hometown.
Any normal man in the world must be willing to die of drunkenness in her tenderness.
Even a straight man like Gu Qing, who has almost no distinction between men and women, thinks her beauty is suffocating. Can there be other men in the world not be moved by her at all?
Gu Qing and Yang Guifei looked at each other, literally, this is the real "a thousand years of sight".
Seeing Gu Qing's expression, Xian Yu Zhongtong couldn't help but feel anxious and whispered: "How dare you look directly at the imperial concubine? Don't miss the etiquette!"
Gu Qing hurriedly lowered his head and eyes.
In the pavilion, Yang Guifei looked at Gu Qing with interest, looked up and down, and suddenly covered her mouth and smiled: "Is this young man who is 'natural beauty difficult to give up on himself'?"
Gu Qing looked up and saluted: "Gu Qing, a grass man, pay homage to the concubine."
Yang Guifei smiled and said, "It's true that she is a young man. She should be less than 29 years old, right?"
"Yes, Caomin is seventeen years old this year."
Yang Guifei praised: "With such talent at the age of seventeen, it can be seen that His Majesty's great Tang Dynasty has emerged in many talents and the country will last forever."
Xian Yu Zhongtong took the lead in saying: "The Holy Emperor has achieved great achievements in civil and military affairs, and the Tang Dynasty has been prosperous for generations."
The eunuchs, palace maids and officials around bowed to Yang Guifei and said in unison: "The country of the Tang Dynasty will prosper for generations."
Gu Qing lowered his head and said nothing, and sighed in his heart.
The prosperity of the dynasty came quietly with curses, and the decline of the dynasty often began with praises.
Concubine Yang ordered everyone to waive the gift, then looked at Gu Qing and smiled, "At a young age, you can write such a wonderful poem. I think your talent is not inferior to that of the Hanlin attendant Li Taibai and Gu Qing, to be honest, why did you write that poem? Was it specially written for this palace?"
Gu Qing lowered his head and said, "That's because the beauty of the Imperial Concubine is rare in ancient and modern times, and the people are not lucky enough to see it. He can only imagine it out of thin air. The more he thinks about it, the more he admires it. Recently, when he heard that the Imperial Concubine arrived in Shuzhou, the people were very happy, so he wrote this poem to congratulate the Imperial Concubine."
Xian Yu Zhongtong's cheeks were twitching when he heard it, and he wanted to kick Gu Qing out of the pavilion. Gu Qing's words were really rude. Nowadays, when the king and his ministers met, there were strict regulations on what they said and what kind of rituals they said. Gu Qing didn't understand and praised Yang Guifei to the fullest. Although they were all good words, it would be too frivolous to praise her in front of the concubine. It was really rude.
Not only Xian Yu Zhongtong, but even the eunuchs in the pavilion changed their faces, the whisk in their hands trembled slightly, and they tried hard to resist the urge to scold them.
However, Yang Guifei was very happy to hear it, giggling with her mouth covering her little mouth, trembling with her smile, and she didn't care how rude Gu Qing said. In her eyes, Gu Qing was just a farmer child who had not been educated in etiquette, and it was not a bad thing to lose her manners before her. After all, Gu Qing's praise just now was very sincere.
There is no woman who doesn’t like other people’s praise. The only difference is that some people express joy in their colors, while others only feel secretly happy in their hearts, and their joyful moods are the same.
Yang Guifei is obviously the kind of person who is praised and expressed in joy after being praised.
Xian Yu Zhongtong and the eunuchs in the pavilion did not dare to scold Gu Qing when they saw Yang Guifei so happy. They just cast warning eyes at him and warned Gu Qing to calm down with their eyes.
Gu Qing doesn’t care about that much, this is a chance to hug her thighs. How can you not hug her tightly? Not only do you have to hug her, but you also have to lick her.
"The young man looked unhappy, but he gave birth to a clever mouth and was really good at speaking. Has someone taught you to say that?" Yang Guifei giggled.
Gu Qing said sincerely: "It's all the words in the hearts of the grass people, and there is no word false."
Yang Guifei chuckled and said, "I don't believe it. I have never seen any young man as slick as you. You are not like a child from a farmer, but like those young men who grew up in a pile of powder."
Gu Qing sighed secretly, just a few words were "slim-mouthed"? If you had heard the earthy love words in the streets of your previous life, you would be so excited that you would tremble with excitement.
After hesitating for a while, Gu Qing decided to flatter again. He needed a tough backer. At present, Yang Guifei had a good impression of him. Then we must consolidate this impression and make her feel more favorable to herself so that she would not be able to be controlled by a small county magistrate like Huang Wenjin in the future.
From the first day of coming to this world, Gu Qing had a clear layout for his future. Every step he took was crucial. Meeting Yang Guifei today is the top priority in the layout.
Digging an ant nest doesn’t count, it’s extremely boring.
"Reported to the Imperial Concubine, Caomin came up with two more words, which are related to the Imperial Concubine. I wonder if I can say it?"
Xian Yu Zhongtong and the eunuchs next to them suddenly felt their hearts hanging again, and the eunuchs looked at Gu Qing with a few begging.
You're not finished, are you? Why do you have to test crazy on the verge of death?
Yang Guifei covered her mouth and smiled, "Two words? But it's okay to say it, and you won't be punished if you don't say it well."
Gu Qing lowered his head and said, "Yes, Caomin remembered that there were three beauties in the Tang Dynasty, one was Xi Shi, which was called 'sinking fish', the other was Wang Zhaojun, which was called 'falling geese', and the third was Diao Chan, which was called 'closed moon', so the fourth beauties, Caomin thought that it was the Imperial Concubine."
When Yang Guifei heard Gu Qing compare her with three other beauties in ancient times, she couldn't help but feel excited and said happily: "So how should I describe it?"
"The grass people heard rumors among the people that during the Kaiyuan period, the imperial concubine was enjoying flowers in the garden. When they met a flower, the flower suddenly closed its petals. A palace man next to it said, "Where the empress passed, even the most beautiful flower was ashamed of herself and had to close its petals. Therefore, the grass people felt that it was appropriate to describe the imperial concubine as "shamed flowers".
Yang Guifei murmured: "The fish sink and the geese fall, the moon shuts down and the flowers are ashamed...the flowers are ashamed, the flowers are ashamed...Is this palace a 'shamed flower'?"
"Caomin is ruthless, and he speaks in a word and asks the Empress to punish the emperor. However, what Caomin said just now is all about his heart, and there is no trace of adulteration. He used "shaming flowers" to describe the Imperial Concubine. Caomin thought it was very appropriate. The Han territory of the Central Plains, over and over a thousand years, only four beauties have been left in history. Since the Imperial Concubine, Caomin believes that there are no more beauties in the world."
This flattery was so wonderful. What does it mean that there will be no beauty in the future? In fact, it should be that after taking care of yourself, there will be no such explicit and powerful flattery in the world. After all, the colorful colors of this flattery are the most brilliant and dazzling.
Gu Qing's expression was calm, but there was a layer of white sweat behind him. He was also afraid that he would be beaten out by eunuchs before he could finish his flattery.
