Chapter 115: Remembering the Lantern Festival
Yuanfu has always had the eyes of observers, and seeing that the general seemed to have doubts about himself, his eyes rolled, and then he coughed and said: "The general probably doesn't know that the father of this concubine is the most knowledgeable about national affairs, and this concubine has experienced the battlefield since she was a child, so she is naturally interested in these, so His Royal Highness the Night King has brought me here more than once." ”
Will anyone believe such a lame explanation, Yuanfu was a little cold sweat, wasn't it Kong Mingye who put himself in prison before.
The general and the blacksmith looked at each other, and then nodded: "The general will have no eyes, please forgive the concubine." ”
"Okay, okay, you do your duty, how can this concubine blame you."
That night, in the Night King's Palace, Yuanfu began to bomb wildly, threatening that if Kong Mingye played tricks on him next time, he would definitely ignore how angry he was, and take the appearance of the empty night women's clothes in Deyue Tower to the mansion, so that everyone would know about it. Kong Mingye naturally knew Yuanfu's temperament, but he just talked about it, but he wouldn't do it.
"The moon is so round today." Yuanfu leisurely looked at the pavilion, these days he was only busy with things, and he never had a good rest. They have also forgotten that today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
"I don't know how Yanqing is now, today should be the day when the family in the mansion gets together, His Royal Highness only accompanies me...... Is this appropriate? Yuanfu pretended to be charming and threw his eyebrows like an empty night, reminding him of today's important day, and maybe he could make Liuyan Qingqing change his mind.
Kong Mingye didn't speak, his expression seemed to be solemn, and he silently walked to the railing and looked at the moon, as if he was trying to hold back his emotions. A discerning person can tell at a glance that it is empty and what is impatient in the night.
Yuanfu chuckled, and shouted to the waiting maidservant: "Go to the Fengyu Hall to prepare, bring all the good wine and food, and prepare the things that Concubine Rin likes to eat, quickly pass the decree to the concubines of each palace, tonight is the Lantern Festival, and it is the time for the family to get together." ”
"Yes." The handmaid retreated.
Kong Mingye turned around: "What are you doing!" Who let you call the shots? ”
Yuanfu stood up with a smile, walked to Kong Mingye's side and patted him on the shoulder: "I obviously want to see what she thinks, so don't talk about it." ”
Don't look over your head in the night: "Hmph, that woman, I'm really angry." ”
That night may be the most lively time in the harem, from the time of the maidservant to the present, the harem is surrounded by joy, everywhere can hear the harem from the excited shouting, probably thought that today's festival will be spent in the loss again, originally turned off the lights to rest, suddenly got the news when the various courtyards were lit up with lanterns.
The concubines are all scolding the maidservants for serving themselves and dressing up, for fear of delaying the hour. The imperial dining room was originally calm, but at this moment it suddenly became lively, the chef's action quickly cut the dishes and prepared them to be fired, and the father-in-law of the Fengyu Hall hurriedly ordered to clean the Fengyu Palace, for fear of upsetting the master.
Hall of Thorn Orchid.
"Niangniang, let's wear this lilac gauze skirt today." Midori took out the clothes she hadn't worn for a long time from the closet and gestured to Liuyanqing.
Liuyan Qingmu nodded: "Okay, whatever." ”
When Liuyanqing saw himself in a lilac gauze skirt in the mirror, he suddenly thought of the first time he met Kong Mingye, it was in the Fengyu Palace, there was a concubine who was wearing a purple gauze skirt and was ready to serve Kong Mingye, but her clothes were torn by Kong Mingye, and the reason was that the clothes that the woman was wearing were purple.
Liuyanqing lowered his head and touched the gauze skirt, this color is the color that Kong Mingye likes, and the purse that Liuyueqing gave him is also this color, probably because this color has been deeply imprinted in the bottom of Kong Mingye's heart.
"What's wrong with the mother? Is there anything wrong with the clothes? Midori said with concern.
Liuyanqing smiled and shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just the first time I've worn purple clothes, as if I haven't seen it in my closet." ”
Xiao Lu smiled: "Niangniang, this is what Xiao Lu specially asked the masters to do, and it happened that Xiu Yifang distributed fabrics as usual, Xiao Lu saw that this color was very flattering, so he made it for Niangniang, didn't Niangniang like it?" ”
Liuyanqing shook his head: "No, I like it very much." ”
Xiao Lu continued to tidy up the corners of her skirt with confidence, and there was a subtle smile on the corner of her mouth.
The other concubines of the harem are waiting outside the Thorn Orchid Palace, since it is a family festival, they must also pay attention to etiquette, only the main concubine Niangniang goes first, and the other concubines can follow behind. But this is also the first time that the harem has done this, before that, everyone thought that Liuyanqing was not favored by the Night King, so the value of a concubine Niangniang was not much, and she even had no status, and now Liuyanqing gradually won the favor of His Royal Highness, which made the other concubines even more angry, why only favored her alone?
Right now, when Liuyanqing has not been treated by the empty night recently, and there is another concubine, this concubine is even more favored than the concubine, and even has special powers, which can anger the ladies of various palaces. New enemies have begun to be created again.
As soon as Liuyanqing stepped out of the Thorn Orchid Palace, he ushered in the enthusiastic embrace of the concubines.
"Ah, Sister Rin, my sister has asked you to say goodbye."
"Get up." Liuyanqing smiled.
Liu Yanqing was wearing a lilac gauze skirt, pearl jewelry on her head, two strands of long hair hanging down behind her ears, and everything else was coiled high, which looked feminine and charming, adding a little more dexterity.
"My sister looks so good today." Someone is ingratiating.
"Yes, yes, we are worthy of being the first beauty in the Wind Spirit Kingdom, we are all overshadowed, and we are not as good as my sister."
"It seems that the new concubine is nothing more than that, and my sister has already compared her just by standing in front of her."
Liuyanqing sneered, naturally knowing that these concubines had started to fight for jealousy again, as long as they added an 'enemy' first, it would inevitably cause their dissatisfaction.
"Ah, since it's the Lantern Festival today, I don't know if anyone in the house makes lanterns." Liuyanqing just wants to divert the topic, and doesn't want to listen to these tiresome flattery.
Everyone thought for a while and replied: "Sister doesn't know, there have never been lanterns or anything in the Night King's Mansion, to be honest, there has never been a holiday party like today's in the past, hey, we all know that His Royal Highness doesn't like to be lively, so all of our sisters don't complain, but today is the first time in our lives, or we all won't be so happy, what does it matter if there are no lanterns, as long as we can see Your Highness...... Do you say yes, Sister Rin. ”
The smoke cleared the skin and pulled the corners of his mouth without smiling: "It's very boring without lanterns." ”
Ah, I really want to go out of the house to play today, the Moon Building must be more lively than usual, Liuyanqing stared at the moon and thought, if the Yuanfu secretly took it out today, maybe you can play happily for a while, so as not to stay in the harem and do nothing.
The concubines and concubines surrounded Liuyanqing, and as soon as they took a step here, they bumped into Ling Xue'er, who was still in that unapproachable posture, slowly saluted Liuyanqing, and then walked beside Liuyanqing.
Liuyanqing was shocked: What's wrong with this Ling Xue'er today? Don't say a word, it's in the past, you must have started to find a way to ridicule yourself again, but today it's a lot quieter, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?
Everyone was quiet, and they didn't dare to talk more, for fear of accidentally getting angry again.
After walking quietly for a while, Ling Xue'er spoke: "What? In the past, everyone always got together and laughed, but today it is quiet. ”
The crowd still did not answer.
Ling Xue'er said to herself: "Today, the sisters are dressed up very beautifully, but don't forget, no matter how much you want to win the favor of His Highness, it is already too late, you must know that Sister Qing is pregnant with His Royal Highness's child, and His Royal Highness favors Sister Qing Fei, don't count on it." ”
Everyone's jaws fell in shock, staring at Ling Xue'er in disbelief, wasn't she the first to express her dissatisfaction with Concubine Qing? Why not only affectionately call her 'Sister Qingfei' now, but also help her speak, is Ling Xue'er stupid?
Liu Yanqing was naturally puzzled, frowning and looking at Ling Xue'er, wanting to read her thoughts. But no matter how you look at Ling Xue'er, it seems that she doesn't have the sharpness she used to have, and her expression is much calmer.
Ling Xue'er noticed Liuyanqing's stunnedness, and chuckled, "Why is my sister staring at me like this?" Am I not right? ”
"I didn't ...... No. "You sound like you're talking today.
Ling Xue'er smiled: "Don't the sisters think so? It's all a family in the harem, why make such a fuss? We should get along well, Concubine Qing is pregnant with His Royal Highness's child, we should be happy, and another day I will instruct the imperial dining room to make a big tonic soup and send it to Sister Qing. ”
Everyone looked at each other, this Ling Xue'er must have changed too quickly, some time ago, they were still blade-to-blade, why did they suddenly look like this today?
Seeing that the atmosphere was gradually becoming weird, Liuyan Qing relaxed: "What my sister said is, really, some time ago, my sister was probably angry because Prince Ling returned to China." ”
Liuyanqing refers to the purse, because this purse was stolen by Ling Xue'er from here, and she wanted to pretend to be the owner of this purse, but it turned out to be a snake, which made Kong Mingye even more angry, and when she saw that the purse was in her hand, wasn't she even more ashamed.
Looking at Ling Xue'er's current performance, it seems that she has already figured it out.
Ling Xue'er smiled and said enthusiastically behind her: "If you don't get drunk tonight, it's time for our sisters to add friendship." ”
