Chapter 340: Go out to the banquet
The next morning, after Bai Ko finished taking care of the housework, he took a car with Gu Yun, Qiong Yu took out the letter she had written last night, found a young man she recognized in Babu Lane, and gave him a few pennies to send a letter. γFor more exciting novels, please visit wΓ¨nγ
Qiong Yu's family immediately began to prepare for the letter with joy, and unanimously said that it was to prepare a congratulatory gift for the marriage of Meilun, and the sisters expressed their hearts.
Just when their family went to the street to look for medicine sellers, Gu Yun's carriage also walked on the road to Qianle Fang, where Yuanhe Palace was.
The carriage is very warm, the middle of the floor can be picked up, and there is a stone fire pit inside, which saves you the trouble of carrying a brazier in winter, so there is a reason why this carriage looks wide and heavy as a whole.
There was a fire in the small fire pit, Bai Ko was sitting in the corner of the right position, Gu Yun was resting on her lap and closed her eyes, both of them were not interested in the festival of Yuanhe Palace, one was not interested in the festival of Yuanhe Palace, one was there for a good reason not to worship the gods and Buddhas, and the other was afraid of the crowds there and did not want to join in the fun, but today's date was to take Yuanhe Palace as a reason, and the temple fair outside was still worth seeing.
The two chatted with each other, and Bai Ko learned a little about the past of Yuanhe Palace.
The reason why it is the hidden residence of the saint today is only because the age difference between the two sons born to the queen mother is more than ten years old, except for the prince who can stay in the palace, the rest of the princes will leave the palace when they are sixteen years old, so the saint has lived outside the palace for a few years before, until his prince brother died of illness, and his wife and concubine gave birth to all daughters, and there was no grandchild, so he returned to the palace as the successor prince, and the original choice of the princess was also changed to the crown princess.
The Queen Mother gave birth to a total of five children of both sexes when she was young, except for the eldest and the eldest are sons, the middle three are daughters, but none of them have been raised, all of them died before the age of ten, I thought that the prince could live to ascend the throne, but he died of illness at the best age, and the children born to the Queen Mother are now only left in the current saint.
Bai Ko heard this and felt that the royal child mortality rate was surprisingly high, and even the current queen had experienced early death and miscarriage to support the current crown prince, and the crown princess had given birth to a pair of children at present, looking very good, but I don't know if I can grow up.
The two were talking, and before they knew it, they arrived on the long street where Qianle Fang was located, and the spacious avenue began to be blocked, all of them were ordinary people who came to participate in the event, there was no order, and Gu Yun's carriage was soon blocked and couldn't move a single step.
Bai Ko saw the chaotic traffic outside through the car window, and was very helpless.
"See? You understand why our government only sends offerings but never attends, right? Gu Yun continued to lie leisurely, and he knew that this would be the case.
"This is blocked like this before it reaches Qianle Fang, what should I do in the workshop? Can everyone travel like this? β
"It's all the result of those civilians running around, many of them are from the middle and lower towns, there are no rules and morals at all, and no matter how spacious the road is, it will be blocked by their swarming."
"What about the soldiers who maintain order? If one person in the crowd falls, it will immediately turn into a group stampede. β
"The soldiers only restrict the flow of people inside and outside the Qianle Fang, we are still far away from there, it is impossible to manage here, if we have to do this outside, we have to send a team at each intersection to restrict the flow from the middle of the Fang, but is it worth the manpower cost just one puja? It's not the Son of Heaven who goes on patrol. β
"That's right. So how do we go now? β
"Call the coachman to drill in a hurry, just leave here and detour to the moat, there is no blockage, otherwise the Yuanhe Palace will hold a one-day festival, and if the four doors of each square along the way are blocked, the book of the complaint can bury the whole person of Fu Yin."
Bai Ko laughed happily, the princes, princesses, and princesses who lived in various squares on the south bank of the moat, and the small mansion Yin really couldn't afford to offend.
Gu Yun saw Bai Qiao smiling happily, and also pestered her to say a few market anecdotes, so as to pass the boring time on the road.
Laughing and laughing, the carriage finally got back moving, and the coachman slowly broke away from the crowded street and headed for the moat.
The residents of the various squares along the way can only travel by the moat today, so the embankment lane is actually full of people and vehicles, but fortunately, it is not blocked, and the flow of people and vehicles in the opposite direction goes their own way.
Walking here, Gu Yun met the buddies and their sisters one after another, and the attendants who accompanied him recognized each other, so they naturally knew which young master and young lady were sitting in the car.
The vehicle queued up and finally entered the Qianle Fang, there was a team of soldiers inside and outside the square to maintain order, and those who turned right and left turned should be separated and take turns, just like the traffic police directing traffic, but it was indeed much more orderly.
There are people from the palace of Yibao County holding signs to welcome guests in the gate, and the cross street is blocked, and their task is to lead the guests to the house from the small road at this gate of the moat.
The path leads to the garden gate of the county king's mansion, where everyone gets off the bus and rests in the garden, where the prince and his sisters are waiting for the guests.
Because of the palace next to the Yuanhe Palace, some of their friends will come to the house to sit after the incense next door, and sometimes bring their friends to come, the county king and the princess of the county are warmly received, and over time, everyone in the elite circle in the capital knows that the king of Yibao is a well-informed person, although the future of the career is not good, but the influence is not small at all.
What's more, when Yuanhe Palace was still the prince's mansion, the current county king and the current saint were already young playmates, and with this friendship, there were many people who wanted to tie up.
Gu Yun, as a male guest, was led to the water pavilion to rest, and Bai Qiao naturally followed behind.
The guests in the water pavilion were greeted by the prince of the county, the grandson of Gong Ying, and his two younger brothers, and the female guests were received by his sisters in the flower hall.
Several young masters recognized by Bai Ko in the guest hall have already arrived, and there is a white-faced young man sitting on the main seat, whose skin can make women jealous, and the palace chief Ji is bragging to him, I don't know what he said, the hall laughed, and when he saw Gu Yun coming in, he didn't care about greeting each other and saluting, so he asked him to sit down quickly, and the palace chief Ji called Bai Ko forward again and again, showing off at Gong Ying.
"See, this is Bai Ko, you didn't go to the previous winter hunt, and today I specially called you to let you see and understand, our brothers never brag."
"You can pull it down, aren't you bragging through someone else's girl now? If you pull out your girl, it's okay to brag about it. β
Gong Ying looks about the same age as Gong Changji, and judging by the tone of their speech, they should often interact with each other, so I don't know if they are equal in generation.
"I'm trying to kidnap someone." Gong Changji turned his head and squeezed his eyes at Bai Ko, "Do you want to vote for another master?" β
"Hey, hey, I just sat down, when I don't save zΓ i?" Gu Yun pretended to be unhappy with the teacup.
"You can think about it." Bai Ko ignored his young master's protest and nodded at the palace chief.
The boys in the audience burst into laughter
