Chapter 27

As Liu Mei, who was smirking in her mouth, came into the courtyard and entered the room. She saw that there were women who were walking back and forth between dozens of them, and most of them were beautiful and gentle. When they saw Cui Po, who was dressed up and fro, and there were some people who were flirting with their clothes and were flirting with their handsome faces. Some people gathered together and pointed at him while stoking his own desires and lowered their heads to laugh. From time to time, a low burst of laughter broke out in the crowd. Even though Cui Po was not unrestrained by nature, he felt very unbearable.

Just as Cui Po crossed his knees and felt quite embarrassed, he suddenly heard a female official shouting loudly: "Princess Shengping is here, kneel down to welcome him!" The hall was suddenly quiet. In the year of thirty years, his face was like a full moon. Under the guidance of the two female officials, the plump and graceful princess walked in from the screen behind the hall, followed by the unhappy princess Guo Yan. When she saw the two, a crisp worship sounded in the hall.

According to the "ritual style", when meeting the princess and prince-consorts, Cui Po also received a great ceremony. However, the previous few times when he came to the mansion to meet Guo Yan, they met Guo Yan in a regular dress, and they were not very polite. At this time, he asked him to bow to a woman twice and eight times. Cui Po was really unwilling to see him, so the action of meeting was naturally slower. Fortunately, when Guo Yan saw him, he was excited and took a few steps forward. Xu held Cui Po who was bowing and said, "The Eleven Lang does not need to be very polite." After that, he patted his shoulder and arm repeatedly, with a close expression.

Cui Po followed the trend and bowed to the two of them to give up. After the ceremony, the three of them sat down. However, Guo Yan did not sit in the master's seat and squeezed into Cui Po's seat. His actions only made Princess Shengping, who was so arrogant and arrogant, frowned, but knew that he was so handsome that he could only give up. The maids immediately stood up, and like butterflies, they gave me all kinds of fruits, wine and vegetables. Several strong servants carried them into four large basins full of ice and placed them in the corners of the hall to relieve the heat. Behind Cui Po, two beautiful maids stood, shaking the fan lightly to remove the heat.

Cui Po was surprised to see that he was only in this situation today, but he was only set up for him. He was also unable to ask questions. He could only hide his heart and raise his glasses in his hand in the face of Guo Ai's persuasion. After drinking a few cups, he suddenly saw the princess signaling slightly. The female official who was accompanying him said loudly: "The princess calls for singing and dancing, come in!"

After speaking, a group of musicians entered from outside the hall. After greeting the three of them, they retreated to the table and sat down. Cui Po saw that they were all old, and several of them had slightly frosted hair. Then dozens of women in gorgeous dance clothes entered the hall. After the ceremony, they lined up and started to have a quiet and peaceful mood. The woman leading the dance was similar to Cui Po. She was tall and had a fairy bun with black silk on her head. There was no other decoration on her bun. She was wearing only a gorgeous diamond flower that was still hanging with dew. Her forehead was covered with gold powder and was slightly yellow with yellow forehead. There was a little bright red crescent flower on the eyebrows, which made the two eyebrows become more and more "green indian eyebrows and eyebrows" with slender eyebrows. However, her face was decorated with "drunk garden and spring". With a little red lips, her delicate facial features were actually unparalleled and could not be looked at.

A crisp sound of music gathered Cui Po's swaying thoughts, and only the sound of the music was extremely quiet. A little slowed down, and the instruments unfolded. Cui Po felt that the whole hall was gradually becoming more and more common. The dozens of dancers also slowly rose up with the graceful music. Although they gradually danced, they never lost the graceful and gorgeous aura, and with the elegant music. In Cui Po's eyes, these dancing women seemed to turn into the fairy of the Yaochi, elegant and graceful, and unparalleled. Especially the woman leading the dance seemed to turn all her life into this light dance, her stunning face, and her gorgeous dance costume filled with peacock feathers, which made Cui Po worry that if the gentle wind outside was a little bigger, she might be afraid that she would move away in the air and not be involved in the world.

After the song was over, the dancers retreated. Cui Poyou was immersed in it. It was not until Guo Yan raised his cup to invite him that he came to his senses. He was still obsessed with his heart. A "chi" chuckle came from his ears. Guo Yan's low voice came: "Shiyilang is moved, so stay tonight. How about I let Xianniang wait for you?" Cui Po was so moved that he knew that he could not do it after all, so he smiled and gave up.

While speaking, she saw a woman wearing a bright red military uniform walking into the hall. After the salute, with the compact music, the girl who was as quiet as a virgin immediately moved like thunder. She saw a cold light wrapped around a red shadow and jumped. As the woman danced faster and faster, the red shadow turned into a burning flame, giving Cui Po a completely different feeling from watching the dance. Unconsciously, she murmured: "It's as bright as a chess shot at the nine sunsets, and it's as sharp as a group of emperors flying in the dragon; it's like thunder and frightened, and it's like a clear light in the river and sea..." The song "Watching Gongsun Auntie's Sword Dance" by Du Zimei had not finished, but the flame suddenly stopped, but it was already the end of the song. The girl returned to the shape of a mountain. Cui Po couldn't help but shout: "Okay."

"She was the second disciple of Gongsun, who was known as "Eight thousand maids of the late emperor, and the number one in Gongsun sword weapon during the Xuanzong Dynasty. She is now in the palace, and it is impossible for the officials to watch her dance. How could it be bad?" However, Guo Yan, who was beside him, heard his applause and explained the origin of the woman to him carefully.

After the singing and dancing, the three of them drank another cup. When the musicians retreated, they heard Princess Shengping lightly open her red lips and slowly say: "Young Master Eleven has lost her talent. A new lyric at the last banquet made my old man cry. It is more difficult to say about his talent. What's even more rare is that the family's clothes are handsome and elegant. I think that in a few days, I will definitely win the title of the Jinshi exam and become a member of the Naqujiang Banquet."

After hearing the princess's words, Cui Po was confused for a moment and could only thank him very much while calming down.

Sure enough, the princess then sipped the best "Mengding Stone Flower" offered by the female official, and then slowly said: "I heard from my uncle that Mr. Cui, the son of the Secretariat the day before yesterday, saying that you have not been married yet, and even if you have an engagement, is there any such thing?"

When Cui Po heard this, he was shocked, and his affectionate eyes and weak-clothed body naturally emerged in his mind. But how should these two people say it? He could only answer: "Go back to the princess, I studied in the mountains a few years ago, so I didn't have this idea; and the family was poor, so I had never gotten married." It turned out that the high family was born in the Tang Dynasty, and marriage was the most important thing. He often used the amount of wealth to measure the sincerity and dishonestness of the man's intention to propose marriage. The higher the family, the more this was. His Majesty Taizong hated this custom and issued a strict edict to blame him, but it was difficult to eliminate this custom. Therefore, Cui Po said this.

"Boling, the Cui family in Qinghe, has two branches, and is called the first family of aristocratic families. Naturally, we cannot get married with ordinary families. You have to pass through the family in a hurry. What you said is the truth. If you follow the order of Your Majesty Xuanzong at that time: 'The man is fifteen years old and the woman is thirteen years old, listen to the marriage' Cui Gongzishi is also at the age of marriage. Today, my grandson and I will protect you a marriage?" At this point, the princess said the purpose of setting up such a battle today and hosting Cui Po.

When Cui Po heard this, even though he was smart and capable, he was stunned for a moment and couldn't speak. The princess's secret words came from his ears: "This girl was originally a girl from the Sanfang family. Her boudoir name was 'Qingruo' and her father Guo Xin. She is currently the post of the Jiedu of the Four Towns of Anxi. You two are really good at judging from family background and appearance. Although my Guo family is not rich in the world, she doesn't care about that kind of wealth. Mr. Cui doesn't have to worry about this. In this way, I don't know what the Eleventh Man wants to do?"
