The daughter of the emperor was reborn and was spoiled by the sickly prince.
Chapter 26 He Should Have Been This Kind of Person
Soon it was time for the school reunion.
Liao Qinglan got up early on purpose to see how Gu Mingzhao was preparing.
Even though she already knew that Gu Mingzhao was good-looking, his outfit today still caught her eye.
She had seen Gu Mingzhao wearing imperial robes and looking majestic and solemn.
I was also used to seeing him wearing coarse linen clothes and simple attire.
But today he is in a completely different style.
The clothes he was wearing were made of the sky-blue cloth he had chosen at Qingfeng Pavilion last time. They looked like young bamboo in early spring, fresh and elegant.
There were delicate bamboo leaf patterns embroidered on the lapels and an ink-black belt tied around the waist. Long thin silk ribbons hung on both sides of the belt, swaying gently with Gu Mingzhao's steps, adding a sense of elegance.
He is otherworldly and looks like a scholar walking out of a painting.
He is like a latent dragon in the abyss, not showing his edge, but containing the power to overturn the rivers and seas, ready to strike.
Liao Qinglan finally understood why the people in the school deliberately targeted him and prevented him from taking the imperial examinations.
His brilliance was too dazzling to be ignored, and the Prince of Zheng deliberately targeted him because he was afraid that he would become a sensation.
Liao Qinglan looked at Gu Mingzhao's outfit carefully.
Although it is already outstanding, I always feel that something is missing.
She thought for a moment, and suddenly her eyes lit up. She took off the jade pendant hanging from her waist and handed it to him.
It was a lotus jade pendant carved from top-grade Hetian jade, with a warm color and a faint luster.
The petals are layered and the lines are smooth and vivid, just like the real ones, and you can almost smell the fragrance of the lotus.
"Put this on and it will be perfect." Liao Qinglan nodded with satisfaction.
Gu Mingzhao stared at the jade pendant in his hand.
The texture is delicate and the touch is warm. The cold fingertips can feel its warmth, as if the temperature of Liao Qinglan's body still remains.
Looking at Liao Qinglan's expectant eyes, he did not refuse and tied the jade pendant around his waist.
The lotus and bamboo leaves complement each other, making his temperament even more extraordinary.
"Thank you." Gu Mingzhao nodded slightly.
"Go ahead and let everyone see that you are not defeated!" Liao Qinglan encouraged confidently.
She knew Gu Mingzhao's talents. When he was the emperor in his previous life, he could engage in verbal battles with the eloquent officials in the court. Not only did he not lose, but he could often hit the nail on the head, which was amazing.
When literary gatherings take place, there will inevitably be exchanges and competitions of talent, and he will surely shine today.
After sending Gu Mingzhao to the carriage, Liao Qinglan still thought about it and felt uneasy, so she turned around and went to Liao Wei's residence.
The servants in the yard took her directly to Liao Wei's room.
Liao Wei was dressed in a dark blue gown, looking calm and solemn. It was obvious that he had packed up and was ready to attend the party.
"Lan'er, why are you here?" Liao Wei smiled gently when he saw his sister.
"I heard that there's a new chef at Huibinlou who's an expert at making Jiangnan dim sum. Brother, please come with me." Liao Qinglan said it easily, as if it was just a spur-of-the-moment suggestion.
"Not today. I have a party later. I'll accompany you another day." Liao Wei touched his sister's head.
Liao Qinglan's eyes flashed with mischief. Knowing that her brother always doted on her, she pretended to be unhappy and pouted, saying in a coquettish tone, "What party? Why haven't you mentioned it before?"
Liao Wei looked at his sister's expression and knew that she was teasing him on purpose, so he explained casually, "The examination is over, so let's get together and say goodbye properly."
Liao Qinglan immediately got to the point: "It sounds interesting, I want to go too!"
Liao Wei shook his head: "Lan'er, that's a gathering of literati. It's not convenient for you, a girl, to go there."
Liao Qinglan refused to give in and proposed a bold idea: "Then I will dress up as a servant and make myself darker, so that no one will recognize me."
Liao Wei was stunned. He didn't expect his sister to come up with such an extraordinary idea. He frowned and looked a little embarrassed: "This is not appropriate. What if someone finds out..."
Seeing that Liao Wei was a little shaken, she took advantage of the situation and grabbed Liao Wei's sleeve, with a pitiful look in her eyes: "Brother, I promise to be careful and stay by your side obediently without saying a word. I will definitely not let anyone find out my true identity. Just let me go."
Under Liao Qinglan's constant persuasion, Liao Wei reluctantly agreed: "I really can't do anything about you. When you go there, you have to listen to me and don't show off."
Liao Qinglan got her brother's approval and immediately nodded happily and agreed: "Don't worry, I know my limits and will definitely not cause any trouble to you, brother!"
Liao Qinglan quickly found a set of servant boy's clothes and dressed up as a handsome servant.
She was already beautiful, and she looked even more handsome in men's clothes.
When Liao Wei saw this, he felt something was wrong and frowned.
She looked in the mirror and felt that she looked too outstanding.
So I put some dark powder on my face, making my skin look a little dull and no longer so crystal clear.
She also used charcoal to accentuate her eyebrows, making them look rough and unkempt.
She also deliberately put freckles on her cheeks to make herself look more ordinary.
After dressing up carefully, Liao Qinglan successfully disguised herself as an inconspicuous little servant boy, and no one would even look at her twice when she stood in the crowd.
With the warm spring breeze, Liao Qinglan and Liao Wei stepped into the gathering place together.
This is a quiet garden with winding paths and the fragrance of flowers.
A clear stream meanders by, with exquisite wine glasses floating on the water, flowing slowly along with the stream, which is the ancient "Qushui Liushang".
There is an archery field not far away, and the sound of arrows breaking through the air can be heard from time to time, which sets off the elegance of the poetry meeting.
Liao Qinglan's eyes wandered around, looking for the sky-blue figure.
She looked through the crowd and finally found Gu Mingzhao in a corner pavilion.
He was talking to an older scholar, nodding and smiling from time to time, looking calm.
The smile was so warm that she was a little dazed for a moment.
The moody and autocratic emperor in his memory formed a sharp contrast with the Gu Mingzhao in front of him.
At this moment, he is as tough and calm as pine and bamboo.
He would have been like this if there hadn't been so many unexpected things in his life.
He is well-mannered, elegant and dignified.
Seeing Gu Mingzhao like this, Liao Qinglan felt an inexplicable beating in her heart.
For the first time, she felt that she was halfway to success. Gu Mingzhao had become completely different from in his previous life.
The old scholars also knew that if they stayed there, the young people would feel uncomfortable, so they said goodbye to everyone and left.
As they left, the atmosphere in the garden gradually became warmer.
Gu Mingzhao was communicating with several classmates he was familiar with.
A shrill sound broke the harmonious atmosphere.
"I'm curious, how can someone who didn't even participate in the scientific examination have the nerve to come here and pretend to be cultured?"
