Under this big festival, as long as it is not sincere and deliberate, no one will quarrel. Even if you don't like each other anymore, you have to have a smiling face when you meet in the first month. This is all said: the first month of the year to cry, a year of rain, the first month of laughter, a year of sunshine. The plan of the year lies in the spring, and this spring moon must pass happily no matter what.

Adhering to such a principle, Xu Xun acted as if there was no such thing in front of the grandson and the concubine, and did not ask for guilt or tell his grievances. The people around him really didn't seem to know anything, and even He Xianxian didn't mention the unhappiness of that day. That's it, there are many customs to live every day. A group of people gather in the Chunhe Hall every day to play silly, Zhang Guifei also called them in a few times, watching acrobatics, watching juggling, biting spring, on the eighth day of the first month, the lights began to be put outside, and the lights would not be removed until the seventeenth day of the first month. On the night of the Lantern Festival, the palace maids did not sleep all night, dressed in white, and walked in the inner court where they usually could not enter and exit freely.

Xu Xun and his gang have only been in the palace for a long time, and of course they were taken out by their mother when they were young, Xu Xun is okay, after all, he lives in Yuhuatai and is in the countryside, and he is usually free to go out. Mrs. Xu's mother was reluctant to go into the capital, but He Xianxian was a resident in Nanjing, and she followed her mother to walk from the east gate to the west gate in one night, and then back again. The two of them talked very energetically, and when everyone was happy in the Spring and Palace, even Concubine Zhang listened to it.

The Lantern Festival is more casual than the New Year's Day, and everyone gathers in one place to watch the lights for fun, and there are not so many rules. The emperor was in a mood this year, and took his grandson out of the palace, and the prince came impatiently, and he and a group of teachers were outside to watch the lights. When the crown princess and the princess brought a room of people into the palace to serve Zhang Guifei to enjoy the lanterns, they got extra dignity, although they were young, they could also collectively follow behind Zhang Guifei and Cui Huifei, hugging them to laugh and wander, pointing and pointing at the lanterns in the lantern gallery for fun.

"This is a lot of diseases, although it is very interesting, but in fact, there are people who get lost every year." Zhang Guifei listened to He Xianxian say some things on the street, and couldn't help but be fascinated, perhaps in order to calm her envy, as soon as she opened her mouth, she talked about the disadvantages of walking through all kinds of diseases. "When I was a girl, I walked on the street with my adoptive mother once, when I was still young and ignorant, I was distracted when I saw the excitement, and there were many people on the street. was almost abducted by a kidnapper, and the adoptive mother was so afraid that she would never go out again. ”

The crown princess smiled, "Niangniang can go there once, our family, I didn't like this before, and when it does, I have already married to Xing, and I haven't gone out once." In those years, Peiping didn't have the heart to do this. ”

Zhang Guifei and her are actually close in age, maybe they are a year or two younger than the crown princess, and when they heard this, they covered their mouths and smiled, "If you are willing to go, you can pretend to be a palace maid and go out now, quietly, no one will know." ”

The crown princess said, "I don't dare, in case I am abducted, how can I say it?" ”

Saying that, everyone laughed, and Zhang Guifei said, "This year, I asked them to make some lantern riddles, which are the same as the outside, and they are also colorful." Let's go and see who came out on top. ”

The court of this dynasty has always encouraged palace maids and palace concubines to read and write, and in addition to preaching female history, they often teach palace maids in ordinary classes, and there is no shortage of literate and hyphenated old grandmothers around the palace concubines. When everyone heard this, they all said happily, "We also want to guess it, but I don't know if we guess correctly, and the mother will not give a reward." ”

There are few servants tonight, and half of the palace maids have gone around the palace, and the lanterns are dotted with lights, and the concubines are the same, all scattered to play. Xu Xun followed Zhang Guifei's side, but she didn't bump into Liu Jieyu, who she was afraid of, or Han Lifei and others, she didn't dare to say anything, let alone flatter Zhang Niangniang, and followed everyone to the bottom of the lantern gallery, and looked up to see a lantern riddle, with the book "sweet, salty, bitter and spicy", typing one word. This touched her heart, and she couldn't help but look at it for a while, but let Zhang Guifei and them go, and she stood under the lantern riddle and pondered for a long time, and the more she thought about it, the more she had a self-taste.

I don't know how long it took, suddenly someone bumped into her, Xu Xun came back to his senses, and saw that it was a white-clothed palace maid, and she had no intention of bumping into her companions, and she didn't care much about it, and when she saw that the palace people bowed down in fear, she just smiled and waved her hand, and said, "You guys go play, be careful not to rub into other nobles It's true." ”

She was so kind, the palace people were relieved, stood up and peeked at her a few times, but there was a sudden look on her face, thinking that they recognized her. In front of her, she naturally didn't dare to say anything, but after only walking a few steps, several heads gathered together, whispering, and constantly reviewing: After all, he is still young and has no scheming, so how can people not notice it when they talk about others like this?

Xu Xun also asked a few grandmothers, knowing that in the past few days, there has been a lot of rumors about her in the next room, and she is not only not angry, but feels a little funny.

Xiaoxiao shook his head, raised his head and pondered this riddle again, but there was a humane behind him, "Although this riddle is shallow, it is quite interesting, what word did you guess?" ”

Xu Xun was startled when she heard that it was a man's voice, but this voice was very familiar, she turned her head to look, and sure enough, Taisun was looking at her with a smile in the shadows of the corridor, so she smiled and said, "Big brother, didn't you go out of the palace with the emperor?" Why did you come back so early. ”

"After shopping, the emperor thought that there were too many people outside, so he panicked, so he came back first." Taisun straightened up, walked behind Xu Xun, looked up at the lantern with her, and said with a smile, "All the roads are full of colorful lanterns, you don't even look at it, just stare at this dry octagonal palace lantern, guess how long?" Don't tell me, guess it will take more than half an hour. ”

As soon as Xu Xun heard this, he hurriedly tiptoed to look at the location of Zhang Guifei and the others, and saw that they had only gone a few small points away, and he was also a little embarrassed, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid it's been a while, you see, the concubine has gone away." ”

"Did you guess that?" Taisun seemed to be a little helpless by her stupidity. Xu Xun glanced at him and said, "This is still guessed, this should be a mouthpiece." ”

"The five flavors lack a sourness, you can guess it with a little thought." Taisun commented, "You can think about such a lantern riddle for so long?" ”

"I think it makes sense." Xu Xun distinguished for himself, "Don't you just want to live?" The five flavors of life, this mouth has tasted and swallowed, but is it all over? No matter how sweet or bitter it is, there is an end...... Alas, I can't tell, but I think this riddle is very good, and it has been done in my heart. ”

Taisun was afraid that he didn't expect her to think so deeply, he was slightly surprised and silent for a while, and said, "I didn't expect our Xiaoxun to also have the three flavors of life." ”

Xu Xun saw that he was serious, and he was afraid that he would not be happy, so he hurriedly grimaced and said with a smile, "No, I just said to myself, what is bitter and spicy, if you close your eyes and swallow it, it will be fine." It's a big deal to make a stomach, and it's not a matter to pull it out. Nothing worth keeping in your stomach! ”

Taisun said laughingly, "you, you're still a Jieyu, you speak so roughly." The mouth door is the same as the ass door, and all and urine are said outside. ”

"We didn't say that." Xu Xun hurriedly distinguished, "Aren't you planting a random faction, I'll just say a word...... You say that I am not open-mouthed yourself......"

Taisun snorted, amused by her again, he smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Go ahead, go, don't talk nonsense here, don't go to your sisters yet." ”

Xu Xun has rarely been alone with his grandson for a while, to be honest, he is indeed a little reluctant, he glanced at his grandson a few times, and saw that he didn't seem to want to follow, Fang said, "That, then I'll go ......."

lifted the corner of his skirt, walked quickly, and went forward to find Zhang Guifei.

Taisun watched her back, looked at Xu Xun's two delicate little feet, flying quickly under the skirt, the whole person was like a swan, the upper body was smooth and stable, very elegant, even the skirt corner of the flipping range was not very large, only a pair of small feet, duck webbing up and down to hit the water, for some reason, although Xu Xun was gone, Taisun was amused by her. He leaned against the edge of the pillar, watching Xu Xun's figure, until the familiar footsteps came from behind him, then he stood up straight, turned around and said, "Ah Weng, you are not feeling well, just go back and rest." ”

"Nothing." The emperor pursed his lips and couldn't help but laugh at himself, "After all, I'm old, how could I be so squeamish in the past, and I still have stomach trouble when I eat some food...... It's settled down by now. Let's go, let's go to the Zhang family and go to them. ”

'Also'?

It seems that the emperor probably heard the conversation between himself and Xiao Xun, the old man has been fighting horses all his life, and he has not put down his efforts when he is old, and it is easy to cover his footsteps.

Taisun's brain turned quickly, but he said with a smile on his face, "Go over while enjoying the lanterns, don't worry, let's go over slowly......"

He bent down slightly, added a little strength to his hand without a trace, and supported the tall and strong emperor, and the two ancestors and grandchildren snuggled together and walked a few steps in the lantern gallery. The emperor looked at a few delicate palace lamps absentmindedly, and said, "That Jieyu just now is the very lucky Xu family you said, right?" ”

"It's her." Taisun was a little embarrassed, "Born in the market, you talk vulgarly, but it pollutes your ears." ”

"She's right." The emperor said instead. "Her mouth is not as thick as yours - the little girl is a little smaller, she is good-looking, and she has good qualifications, and not only is that very reasonable. is also very kind to the people below, it seems that she is very broad-minded, and she should be blessed. ”

The emperor has a stomach, and he is different from ordinary people, where he wants to solve it is his power, and of course there are people to serve. Taisun had to walk to the porch and wait first, he did stand for a while before opening his mouth, and he also noticed Xu Xun and the conversation with those palace maids, so he was interested in teasing her. I didn't expect that all this had already fallen into the eyes of the emperor. He pondered the words and said with a smile, "It's just that fools have stupid blessings, and occasionally saying a clever word can make people treat them differently." ”

The emperor laughed a few times, I don't know what I remembered, but he was quite emotional, "Lotte knows his fate, it is good luck." You can't call it stupid, that's what really smart...... I heard that on the day of Zhengdan, I don't know who asked the people of Gong Zhengsi to stop your wives and concubines in the name of Yonghua Palace, and almost alarmed the Hu family's fetal gas, in order to take her away, right? ”

The grandson looked hesitant, thought for a while, and said, "This, the grandson really doesn't know, there is this matter, and they didn't mention it to me, right?" ”

The emperor looked at him seriously, but sighed, "Even you came to fight with me?" If Jingchang hadn't talked to me about this, you would have forgotten about it? People are bullying you, Da Lang, this doesn't look like your temperament. ”

The speed of Dingguogong's family is really fast enough, and the courage is really big enough. In the first month, he had already sued the emperor...... Taisun thought so in his heart, but said in his mouth, "I really don't know." If you don't say frustrating words in the first month, there is such a thing, and Hu Shi and Xiao Xun didn't tell me. I looked at them as before, maybe my cousin and cousin were a little too careful—"

The emperor snorted, "How hearty? Jin Yiwei didn't say that, just at the gate of Kunning Palace, he just stopped after paying homage to your grandmother's happy face. I heard that there was almost a quarrel at that time, but there were a lot of people who saw it. For a while, those long-tongued women visited relatives and friends, and they had to chew this in private. ”

He suddenly turned angry again, "What else do you say, Mrs. Command, can this woman set an example!" Tomorrow I will send a decree to reprimand the husbands of those long-tongued women, and let them take care of their own mothers-in-law! Stop sticking your nose and sniffing around, the east and the west are short to provoke right and wrong! Don't think I don't know what I said in private, I'm afraid there aren't many things I don't know in the world! ”

The eunuch Bingbi, who always followed him, immediately bowed, "Grandpa Huang is right, the slave will come up for you tomorrow." ”

"That's fine." The emperor actually didn't mention this matter, maybe in his opinion, such a trivial matter, and he didn't need to bother too much, he zhanzhu feet, looked up at a beautiful woman lantern with appreciation, and said, "Look, the beauty on this painting doesn't look like the lustful woman we have seen?" ”

He didn't speak, and the grandson would never speak, so he hurriedly put aside his distractions and looked intently at the shining golden palace lamp, "Grandson thinks it's ......"

The lights and trees are shining, the flowers are blooming, and the night of the Lantern Festival is not over so quickly.
