Chapter 134: Shangyuan Festival
The next day is the Lantern Festival, which is very lively every year in Kyoto, and the streets are full of lights and lanterns. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the street is crowded, and on this day, many young ladies, grandmothers, and wives in high-ranking families who do not go out on weekdays will also go to the street to find a lively place and feel the festive atmosphere.
Guo Wenying was injured and inconvenient to move around, so she had to stay in the palace. Although there are a lot of lanterns in the palace every year, after all, it is not as lively as the street, and there are not so many fun and beautiful things.
The princess was afraid that she would be bored alone, so she deliberately took her into the inner house and let her enjoy the lanterns and guess the lantern riddles with her daughters. Because the princess is sick and inconvenient to go out of the house, the Lantern Festival of the palace is also spent in the palace every year, and the masters and subordinates all gather together to eat and drink, and it is also a little lively.
Especially this year, the prince celebrated the festival in the house, Zhang Luo was better than in the past, and there were many tricks, in addition to enjoying the lanterns and eating the Lantern Festival, many games were arranged, and there were songs and dances to help the fun.
Feng Jingting also deliberately asked people to buy a lot of fireworks at a high price, and waited until late at night to release them for everyone's fun. In the past few days, the emperor has been sick and can't get out of bed for a while, and no palace banquet has been arranged in the palace.
Mr. Lu was also invited to the backyard and arranged at a table with Guo Wenying, while Feng Jingting accompanied the princess at a table. A few other female dependents sat a little farther behind.
Guo Wenying saw the mandarin duck who was originally serving the princess, combed a woman's hair, and changed into a new dress, and knew in her heart that this was most likely the prince who took her in. The princess had intended to match her maid and the prince, but this time she got what she wanted.
This was what the princess meant, and Feng Jingting did not refuse, although he did not touch the mandarin duck, but in the end, after looking at her body, it was also appropriate to give her a name. It's just that what he didn't expect was that the person was his, and someone else entered the cave room, and he just had a name.
This matter has nothing to do with Guo Wenying, and she didn't care much about it, she only took a glass of wine to toast Lu Qifang, "Come, how about a toast with Wenying, sir?"
Lu Qifang smiled, raised his glass and drank it all, his expression was a little more lonely, he said: "In the past, there were people to accompany the Lantern Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, and the old man really went back more and more, and when he got old, there was no one around him." ”
Guo Wenying knew that he was sentimental about his dead family, he was old and had only one son, but he died of a plague, and then his wife was too sad, and he also went, a good home, only he was left, and at this age, it was inevitable that he would be a little lonely.
She said: "Life has been sad since ancient times, Mr. should look forward, go back and remarry another room, maybe he can give birth to a son." ”
Lu Qifang stroked his beard, "You girl is so bold, you dare to make fun of the old man." ”
Guo Wenying laughed, "I'm telling the truth, Mr. is not too old, why can't he marry a young and beautiful girl?"
Lu Qifang laughed, he didn't have this heart, he just missed his deceased wife and didn't want to accept others for a while.
He said: "The old man is a man who is close to the age of six, it doesn't matter if you don't have relatives, you are still young, why don't you have any relatives?"
These words touched the saddest part of Guo Wenying's heart, she didn't have no family, but she couldn't return home, she looked forward to it for many years, and wanted to have a Lantern Festival with her family, but unfortunately she didn't expect it, and this year is destined to be disappointed.
That kind of disappointment, although it is covered up in every possible way, brings out a little bit.
She felt that her nose was sour, and just wanted to speak, Feng Jingting came behind her at some point, and said softly: "What are you two talking about, tell this king too?"
As he spoke, he sat next to Guo Wenying, looking like he was going to listen to him.
Guo Wenying didn't want to mention this topic again, but smiled: "Of course, when it comes to the Lantern Festival, although it is lively in this house, it is not as good as the street after all, but it is a pity that this Lantern Festival can only be spent in the house." ”
Feng Jingting said: "You are injured, I can't take you out, there are many people on the street, and it is not good to squeeze the wound." If you like it, I'll take you out on the street next year to see the excitement, okay?"
Guo Wenying smiled, but said in her heart, next year, I don't know where these people will be next year.
They were talking and laughing here, Princess Zhong Yu saw it in her eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little sour in her heart, although the prince was sitting with her just now, her eyes were staring at the table all the time, and she was absent-minded even when she talked to her, the person was still there, and her heart was gone.
She thought that by lifting the mandarin duck, she could save a little bit of his heart, but now look at the mandarin duck's wronged look, she also reported a lot of hope, it turned out to be useless. What if she climbed into bed, maybe the prince thought of her in his heart.
I hated it in my heart, but I didn't dare to show it on my face, and I didn't bother to look at the smiling faces of the few people here, so I excused myself from feeling unwell and left.
As soon as the princess left, the courtyard was a lot more lively, because the princess was unwell, for fear of noisy her, the people did not dare to laugh too much, and they did not dare to play the games they were preparing for. This walk has made many people much easier, and the prince is a kind person, and he doesn't take care of the affairs of the house, so he lets them laugh and make noise.
At this time, people have already gathered together, guessing lantern riddles, beating drums and passing flowers, projecting, blind people touching elephants, and all kinds of games have been played. The eunuchs and attendants in the outer courtyard were gambling on sieves, playing cards, drinking and boxing, and it was also very lively.
A group of people ran to play, and there were not enough people waiting around the prince, Xu Mao asked someone to find Yunjing, only to find that Yunjing had already run away. I went to his house to look for him, and yesterday I had already left the city, and no one knew where I went. It's not a big deal to lose a handful of people in the house, but at this time, people run a little strangely, I haven't heard of any mistakes he made, let the master punish him, what did he run?
I searched again, but I really couldn't find it, Xu Mao didn't take it to heart, and replaced his errand with someone else, so it was as if nothing had happened.
Today, Feng Jingting seems to be particularly interested, and he actually asked people to take the horse and hang it out, and the three of them, plus the big housekeeper Xu Mao, played the horse crane together.
Lu Qifang is a fan of horse hanging, and as soon as he heard about horse hanging, he suddenly came to his senses.
But Guo Wenying can't play at all, she can't play chess, and she can't hang the horse, but fortunately, Feng Jingting said that if she loses, it will be his.
They had a good time, but they threw aside the three girls who had intercourse, and the three of them did not dare to complain, and when they heard that they were going to accompany the princess, they all left.
Feng Jingting didn't even look at them, and waved his hand casually.
The mandarin duck felt uncomfortable, after all, he just served the master yesterday, and today he seemed to throw it away as an object, who can feel good on it?
Miss Yun looked at her like that, and laughed, "What's the matter?
