A Lady's Romantic Affair - Side Story: Five Chapters - If Life Were Only Like Our First Meeting

When Gu Qingyin was born, Madam Gu had a famous fortune teller in the capital examine her. The fortune teller, with his white hair, looked at her for a long time and said in a hoarse voice that the girl's fate was extremely prosperous and good. He then shook his head and refused to say more. Madam Gu pressed him repeatedly, and he finally said the words "peach blossom luck" and led Madam Gu to look at the corner of Gu Qingyin's eye. Madam Gu was shocked when she saw it. She had never paid attention to it before, but now, looking closely at it in the sunlight, she saw a very faint red mark extending from the corner of her eye to the hairline behind her ear. It was a natural peach blossom luck sign.
It's never a good thing for a woman to have many suitors, especially if it's reflected in her face. After that, Madam Gu consulted many famous doctors until Gu Qingyin was five years old, when the red mark at the corner of her eye was finally removed. Gu Deming raised his daughter like a boy, teaching her proper poetry, literature, and etiquette from a young age, hoping that she would grow up to be a person of upright character, gentle and virtuous. Gu Qingyin lived up to his expectations, being clever and quick-witted from a young age. By the age of six, she could write poems and paint, earning the reputation of a talented woman, which made Gu Deming very gratified.
When Gu Qingyin was seven years old, Gu Deming, the then prefect of Yecheng, received an imperial decree to open the city gates wide to welcome General Ren Zhongtian, who had returned in triumph from the frontier. In the cold wind, Gu Deming, along with his wife and children, ascended the city tower. Countless iron cavalry came from afar, billowing dust and rumbling earth.
A lone rider, carrying the bright banner of the Ren family army, led the way into everyone's view. Clad in silver armor, with a handsome face and striking features, he slightly raised his head, brimming with youthful vigor. His cold, deep blue eyes captivated everyone's attention. Gu Qingyin stood atop the city wall, the small child tightly gripping her mother's hand, her clear eyes gazing at that figure with envy. At that moment, she was on the city wall, and Wei Lengyao was below; she was seven, and he was fifteen.
When Gu Qingyin was nine years old, Gu Deming was ordered to return to the capital and serve as a scholar in the Hanlin Academy. Under his tutelage, Gu Qingyin often visited the Hanlin Academy to peruse various classic texts. That autumn, during the Imperial Lectures ceremony, atop the several dozen steps of the Hanlin Academy's white jade steps, stood a man in a moon-white robe, wide sleeves and a flowing black hair, his demeanor captivating. Gu Qingyin, her hair styled in double buns, stood gazing up at him from afar amidst the crowd, listening intently as his gentle, spring-like voice slowly recounted ancient etiquette. At that moment, she was below the steps, and Shangguan Rongqin was above. She was nine years old; he was eighteen.
When Gu Qingyin was ten years old, her father, Gu Deming, was critically ill. Gu Deming, who had already held the rank of a third-grade official, summoned a royal physician from the palace to treat her. Gu Qingyin lay weeping by her grandfather's bedside, her large eyes red and swollen. Through her hazy vision, she saw a young apprentice following behind an elderly man with white hair and beard, busily tending to him. The apprentice was thin but tall, and although he had the appearance of a child, his features were already remarkably intelligent. At that time, she was on the right side of the bed, and Ning Feiran was on the left. She was ten years old, and he was nine.
Gu Qingyin was twelve years old. She participated in the royal winter hunt with Gu Deming, enjoying the thrill of riding on horseback across the grasslands, chasing prey. Surrounded by members of the royal family and officials' children, she heard cheers in the distance and smelled the strong stench of blood. She vaguely saw a boy standing upright beside a dead deer, waving excitedly. He spurred her on, her eyes gleaming with the light of a hunter. The boy had striking features and was quite handsome, surrounded by a group of people who seemed to surround him like stars around the moon. At that time, she was on horseback, and Ji Zhuoyun was on the grassland; she was twelve, and he was fourteen.
Gu Qingyin was fourteen, in the prime of her youth, graceful and elegant. It was the Lantern Festival, and she secretly slipped out of the manor to admire the lanterns. She saw a beautifully crafted carp-shaped lantern, so lifelike, and happily bought it, carrying it in her hands. Unexpectedly, she was knocked to the ground by a galloping horse, and the carp lantern vanished. A burst of laughter came from afar, and there she saw a young man in yellow robes on horseback turning back to smile at her. His black hair cascaded down, his eyes shone like stars, and his face was as beautiful as a peach blossom. In his hand, he held a lantern shaped exactly like a carp. At that moment, she was at one end of the crowd, and Ming Xiaohe was at the other. She was fourteen, and he was seventeen.
Gu Qingyin was fifteen years old, proficient in poetry, prose, and calligraphy, and excelling in her studies. She participated in the imperial examination for female officials. On the grand stage on the first day of the examination, a woman in purple robes, with waist-length black hair and a top hat, stood with striking features and a commanding presence. Her gaze swept across the entire hall, and holding a scroll, she solemnly read the examination regulations, leading everyone in the opening ceremony. Gu Qingyin, dressed in blue, stood nervously among the candidates, memorizing the regulations word by word, her body stiff as she followed the others in kneeling and bowing. At that time, she was below the stage, and Han Jinqing was on the stage; she was fifteen, and he was twenty-two.
After passing the imperial examination, Gu Qingyin was recommended for officialdom the following year. At the age of nineteen, she served as the Vice Censor of the Censorate and was promoted to the fifth rank.
