Chapter 616: Duanyang
Geng Xiwu pursed his lips and snorted coldly, "She wants to check me, can't I check her?" ā
Lan Xi sat up straight quietly, and his face was unconsciously solemn, "But what did you find?" ā
"It's a crooked fight this time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info: I was thinking that you didn't say last time that Brother Tai was treating that Mr. Ye? The relationship between Mr. Ye and the Jia family is inextricably linked, so he wanted to ask him, but he didn't expect to ask something interesting. Yes, when Brother Yu went to Mr. Ye's residence to treat him as usual one day, because he happened to go to the neighborhood to see someone that day, he went earlier than expected, and before he reached the door, he saw a female customer coming out of the door. The female guest wore a hat, but one of the maids who served beside her was fortunate enough to see her brother from afar because she walked around the palace every day. ā
"It's someone from the palace?" Lan Xi was shocked.
Geng Xiwu nodded, the corners of his mouth hooked, a little meaningful, "Brother Yu doesn't know the name of the palace maid, but he knows that she is served by the queen's side." ā
"Queen?" Lan Xifeng's eyes widened suddenly, and now even shock was not enough to describe her mood at this time. Is the palace ban so loose now? Whether it's a palace concubine or a queen, she will leave the palace if she wants to, and they all come out of the palace to see a foreign man, Lan Xi doesn't want to think about it, but she can't control her thoughts from drifting to the color of the crown on the top of the saint, it won't be pure, right?
"This is the ...... What does A-Qing think? Geng Xiwu looked at her face, his eyes sparkled with interest, and asked curiously.
Lan Xi pulled his thoughts back from the color of the holy hat, and when he heard this, he pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "What can I think?" Since Mr. Ye is a staff member of the Jia family, it is not impossible for the queen to personally go out of the palace to ask him for advice to show her attention. ā
"Ah Qing didn't think so at first, right? I guess that Ah Qing's subconscious thoughts are also what others think when they hear about this. What is the truth of the matter, I am afraid that not so many people really care. What's more, even if it's not like that, the idea will come true. The corners of his mouth hooked slightly, Lan Xi looked at his expression, and began to mourn for Queen Jia.
In a blink of an eye, it was the Duanyang Festival, on this day, the saint wanted to lead the ministers and the harem to the Yujiang River to watch the dragon boat race.
Since the beginning of summer, the weather has become hotter and hotter. When she got up early in the morning, Qin's mother had already prepared her clothes to enter the palace. Geng Xiwu and Lan Xi freshened up one after another, Geng Xiwu was fine, but Lan Xi was very tossed before Qin's mother was satisfied and released.
When they arrived at the inner palace gate, the husband and wife acted separately again. Lan Xi thought that there were so many palace concubines today, and she should be able to keep a low profile, who would have thought that first Dou Gonggong once again personally led a soft sedan chair to wait there, and when she arrived at Shou'an Palace, the nobles in the hall were full of nobles, and as soon as she entered the door, the Queen Mother saw her with sharp eyes, and beckoned to her with a smile, "This Shilang daughter-in-law is finally here, but let the mourning family wait." Come over quickly, I haven't seen you for so many days, and the mourning family misses you. ā
This tone, compared to the last time, I don't know how much more kissed. Lan Xi knew that this was mostly because she recommended Yu Nanxing for her meritorious service, and the Queen Mother remembered her feelings, so she specially made a face for her!
But in this way, the various eyes of the people in the hall really made Lan Xi a little unhappy. He laughed dryly, she stepped forward slowly, and when she was grabbed by the queen mother's hand and pulled by her side to sit down, Lan Xi faintly felt that her desire to watch the scenery and watch the dragon boat race in a low-key manner today was about to come to naught.
Sure enough, the Queen Mother has been holding her tightly since then, and the Holy Lord Xu also knows about Yu Nanxing, of course, it may be just to give the Queen Mother, and she is also very kind to her. Fortunately, although the Queen Mother showed that she valued her, she was just a subordinate woman after all, although she made those nobles look at her differently, but she was not too jealous. And Lan Xi couldn't shirk the Queen Mother's kindness when he saw it. He simply let go of his embrace, and if he came, he was at ease.
Even later, the Queen Mother took her hand and let her ride the phoenix chariot together, Lan Xi was bold and readily agreed.
For a while, a large group of people and horses came out of the palace gate, passed through the streets that had long been banned by the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and Jingzhao Mansion, and went straight to the Yujiang River. Along the way, listening to the people on both sides kneeling down to greet each other, long live the mountain, Lanxi couldn't help but sigh, no wonder, these princes and grandsons, for that position, did not hesitate to fight for their heads and take their lives, this feeling is really a human being, almost up to the sky.
When he arrived at the edge of the Yujiang River, because he followed the Queen Mother, Lan Xi was fortunate to follow the saint to the stands, which were full of royal relatives and close ministers of the Son of Heaven, and the rest of the relatives who were a little farther away could not come up, so they had to stay obediently in their own sheds.
The saint and the queen mother sat down one after another, and with an order, everyone dared to sit down one by one. Lan Xi raised his head, but he just happened to meet his husband, he didn't have a seat, but he was standing on the side of the saint, extremely close to him. Looking at each other, someone's usual calmness, and the corner that others couldn't see, but raised his eyebrows narrowly at her. Lan Xi's face twitched, and he lowered his head, but he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
This scene may not be noticed by others, but Zhao Yu can see it clearly, but because he can see it clearly, his eyes are uncontrollably churning unwillingly. He tried his best, thinking that even if he couldn't make them turn against each other, he would at least have to grind out his deep feelings, even if it wasn't torturing each other, and he would make them unhappy. But who would have thought that after only a few days of work, the two of them actually reconciled again, not to mention, but seemed to be more enlightened.
Lan Xi didn't notice Zhao Yu at all, in fact, since that day, after telling everything to Geng Xiwu, Zhao Yu can no longer influence her, and today, she can really be like a stranger.
Lanxi's attention was attracted by the colorful dragon boat teams on the river. Most of these dragon boat teams belong to major families, and some royal families also occasionally join in the fun, such as Pingwangfu, who participate in this dragon boat race every year, but their performance is decent every year, not to the queen of the palace, but they have never been top-notch.
And this year, I don't know what the saint thinks, he actually let several adult princes, of course, who have already been crowned kings, all form a fleet in the name of each royal palace to participate.
Although I don't know if the intention behind this is the deep intention of the saint, but all the palaces are working hard to earn performance in front of the saint, Lan Xi guessed early in the morning that this year's dragon boat race must be much more exciting than in previous years.
As a spectator, Lan Xi really doesn't have much baggage about who wins or loses, but he can watch the show to his heart's content.
On the other side of the river, all the people gathered were onlookers, Lanxi heard Geng Xiwu say that at this time of year, there will be gambling games on the other side, and this year, the biggest buyer is above King An and King Qi. The people of this capital are much more sensitive to politics than people in other places!
