Chapter 9: The Chinese New Year's Eve Feast

The news that the eldest princess of Nanchen and Su Qingluan were injured in the horse race soon spread to the palace, and the emperor immediately ordered that Gong Xuelian be sent to the palace for medical treatment. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info This palace Xuelian is also a princess of a country, and she was injured in Dajing, no matter what the reason for the injury is, Dajing has to get by in terms of face.

Gong Xuelian was taken back to Gong Haosheng to take care of her, and the gathering in the royal palace also ended here, and everyone dispersed as the sun set. Yuan Junyao was silent alone in the carriage on the way back, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he showed a shallow smile, this Nine Emperor Princes of Dajing is really interesting, just now when everyone went to visit Gong Xuelian, Su Qingyu left a sentence in his ear when he passed by, "I advise you not to try to beat her, it's best to stay away from her." ”

"Lord, an urgent call from the emperor!" a letter came from the guard outside the car window.

Yuan Junyao opened the envelope, and on the paper was the words of the Northern Qi Emperor Long Fei Feng Wu: Ah Yao, the border war is tight, look forward to returning to the palace as soon as possible!

Yuan Junyao looked at the letter in his hand, couldn't help frowning, and sighed, it seems that this Spring Festival can't be spent with her.

On the second day, the news came that King Yuan asked Emperor Dajing to resign and return to Northern Qi, and at noon he led his attendants to hurry back to Northern Qi. And Gong Xuelian's foot injury also rushed back to Nanchen after healing, as for the king of Qi in Western Qin and other small envoys who returned to China as early as the second day of the prince's wedding, the current Dajing can be regarded as clean.

At this time, Su Qingluan was discussing Su Qingluan's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet half a month later with Qu Zi in the imperial palace. According to the tradition of the Dajing royal family, every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, the palace invites all the Dajing royal family to the palace for a banquet. And every year this Chinese New Year's Eve banquet is personally organized by the empress, this year the empress will organize the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet to Qu Ziqing, as the crown princess, one is to test Qu Ziqing's ability, and the other is to let Qu Zi pour show his face in front of a group of royal family members.

The position of the emperor is what every man desires, and the position of the queen is the same as that of all women. Therefore, the first thing for the song is to be recognized by the royal family, and the current Chinese New Year's Eve banquet is a better opportunity to perform.

Of course, a major event like the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet cannot be completely handed over to Qu Ziqing who doesn't understand anything, so if there is anything you don't understand, Qu Ziqing can still go to the queen to ask. But Qu Zitian also understands the queen's intentions, everything is done by himself, and he tries his best not to disturb the queen.

After being busy for more than half a month, it was finally the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, except for some princesses who were not allowed to return to Beijing, or who were married far away, all the royal family members basically arrived.

At the beginning of the Yuhai Pavilion, the banquet was already halfway over, and the singers and dancers were performing hard in the field, but the objects of their performances did not care whether their dancing was wonderful or not. Some palaces and palaces that have been hereditary for several generations and are on the way to decline are actively dealing with several princes who are in full swing at the moment. And their daughters are also around the queen mother, queen, and crown princess.

Several county lords and nobles on the side laughed at their actions with disdain, but they gathered around several princesses.

Su Qingluan searched for a long time in the crowd, but did not see Mei Ruohua's figure, so he took advantage of no one's attention and walked aimlessly with Su Qingyu to the corridor outside the hall.

"Qing Yu, do you know, looking at the royal family relatives in the palace, I am worried about the people of Dajing. Although Su Qingluan was talking to Su Qingyu, his eyes were far-reaching, looking at an unknown place.

Su Qingyu had never had any superfluous words, and at this time, he also understood that Su Qingluan just needed him to listen to her now, so he walked with her silently.

Su Qingluan walked to the corner under the corridor and then did not leave, put his hands behind his back, and turned his head to look at Su Qingyu: "How ridiculous, tens of thousands of soldiers at the border pass can't reunite with their families on Chinese New Year's Eve in order to protect their families and defend the country, and those wine bags and rice bags who enjoy glory and wealth and want monstrous power are sitting in it with peace of mind at the moment." Such a person is not worthy of the respect of the people!"

For Su Qingyu, the woman standing in front of him at this moment is the most beautiful person in the world, she is the one who brought him out of the darkness and let him know that there is so much beauty in the world, he once vowed to protect her, but he didn't want to, when she was in the most pain, he couldn't do anything. Now looking at the way she had a furrow in her chest, he knew that he only needed to follow her and be her hand, and that's it. "Whatever you want to do, just remember and don't leave me. ”

Su Qingluan was pulled back to his thoughts by his words, and looked at him seriously, "Yes, I will never leave you." ”

Su Qingyu was a little embarrassed by her, turned her face to the side, and said uncomfortably, "Just remember." ”

Looking at the teenager who was already a head taller than herself at some point, it seemed that she could still pat his head with her hand yesterday, at that time he was not as silent as now, just a little shy boy, although he didn't talk much, but it wasn't like now that he didn't have a few words all day long.

When did it start, it seems to have been after the time when she had a miscarriage. She understood that he was blaming himself, that he had told him that he had told her the wrong thing, and that he had told her the route, so he felt that it was his fault that he was hurt.

"Qing Yu, there are some things, rather than being stabbed in the dark, it's better to face them calmly, you don't have to blame yourself for it, understand?" Facing this awkward but cute younger brother, the smile on Su Qingluan's face was so warm.

It was so warm that it stinged his eyes, his heart, "No, it's my fault." "It's not just that you're hurt, it's because I didn't protect you!

Su Qingluan knew that he would not come out of the tip of the horns for a while, so he had to smile and say, "Then punish you for following me in the future and letting me send you!"

Hearing her say this, Su Qingyu let out a low "um", and the corners of her mouth gently curved a small arc in the dark.

"I said Qingyu, when did you grow taller than me? Why didn't I find out that you grew so tall?" Su Qingluan's words were slightly sour, and Su Qingyu rolled his eyes when he heard it. Just now, I was righteous and awe-inspiring to reprimand others for being a wine bag and rice bag that only knows happiness, and now I care about this kind of trivial matter who is higher.

I don't care that Su Qingyu doesn't care about himself at all, Su Qingluan said happily, "Speaking of which, you will be sixteen after the fifth day of the first lunar month, and you are a man!

Su Qingluan chattered endlessly in front, Su Qingyu only frowned in the back, what do you mean that she only found out that she was so handsome now, could it be that he used to be mediocre and ugly in her eyes?

The two of them said in front of them, and the other listened in the back, and they went farther and farther, knowing that in the middle of the moon and heaven, someone from the palace came to look for them, saying that the banquet was about to end, and the queen asked them to hurry back.

When the two rushed back, the banquet had come to an end, the queen mother stood in the middle, the emperor and the queen held her arm on the left and right respectively, and many royal relatives surrounded them on the steps at the entrance of the Yuhai Pavilion, waiting for the fireworks to be set off as soon as the time came.

When the Queen Mother saw Su Qingluan coming, she waved her hand and drove the emperor and queen to the side, and asked Su Qingluan to come over and help her. He kept complaining, "I didn't see your shadow at a banquet, did you dislike the imperial grandmother for being old and refused to come to talk to the imperial grandmother?"

Su Qingluan listened to the Queen Mother's words, and pretended to be angry and said, "Of course, it's because Luan'er saw that there were so many people with you today, and when I saw that Cousin Qingyu didn't know what jokes she said, she made you laugh so happily that you forgot to put aside the Lantern Festival made by Luan'er herself." ”

When the Queen Mother heard Su Qingluan say this, her face was a little embarrassed, this Chinese New Year, all the juniors gave all kinds of gifts, but the left and right were just cold things. Only this granddaughter made a bowl of Lantern Festival with her own hands, who knew that she was so happy chatting with the rain girl just now that she forgot to eat it for a while. Thinking of this, the Queen Mother said a little flatteringly, "Luan girl, it's all the emperor's grandmother who is not good, and it's all the blame for the rain girl, who asked her to say any jokes to make me happy, so that I forgot to eat it when I was happy." ”

The voice of the Queen Mother and Su Qingluan was not loud, but they did not deliberately suppress their voices, everyone was amused by the Queen Mother's childlike words, but everyone also understood that the Queen Mother was only so approachable in front of Su Qingluan, and this favor was also unique.

A woman in pink walked forward slowly and said with a smile, "Yes, it's all Yu'er's fault, Yu'er shouldn't tell jokes, and the imperial grandmother won't let Yu'er tell you jokes next time." ”

When the Queen Mother saw that Su Qingyu was also coming to make fun, she couldn't help but say angrily, "Okay, you all come to blame the mourning family one by one!"

"How dare we?" Su Qingluan and Su Qingyu both said with a smile, and at this moment, the sound of the bell sounded on the bell tower, and the eunuchs also set off the fireworks that had been prepared earlier. Everyone's attention was also drawn to the beautiful fireworks in the sky.

Su Qingluan looked up at the sky with everyone, the colorful fireworks printed her side face with beautiful colors, Su Qingyu and the prince and the others were now together, everyone looked up to enjoy the beautiful fireworks, but he was enjoying the most beautiful scenery in his eyes.

At this time, fireworks were also being set off in the Western Qin Imperial Palace, and in the pavilion in the back garden of a mansion in Kyoto, Western Qin, a person was toasting to the southeast. Not far behind him, under the eaves of the porch, a beautiful woman was looking at him infatuatedly.

Ever since he returned, he had spent almost every night in the gazebo facing the southeast, drinking or meditating. She knew that that direction was Dajing, where he had lived with that woman for three years. He was thinking about her, a woman who had lived together for less than three years, but he grew up as a childhood sweetheart and left his wife who gave birth to a child for him out in the cold.

Well, one day, he'll figure it out. The woman turned around and left, but the man in the pavilion was still drinking by himself, he regretted it, why did he come back, why did he leave her, a month after he returned to Xiqin, he learned that there was a female general on the war commander with Dajing, who was the princess of Dajing, her horse died on the battlefield, and she went to this cold and bitter land less than a month after she had a miscarriage.

Yes, she was pregnant. The man he sent to Dajing came back and told him that the princess was four months pregnant, but she was so grieved by the news that her horse had died on the battlefield that she had miscarried. Four months pregnant, counting, at that time, he had just arrived at the border and received a letter from her, which told her happiness between the lines, and Xu was afraid that he would be distracted, so he hid it from him first. However, he killed him and her children with his own hands. Others didn't understand the point, but he knew that he must have shot her off her horse that night to cause her miscarriage!

Now he can't do anything, the only thing he can do is to go in her direction and repent of the mistakes he made.
