Chapter 12: The Lantern Banquet
Su Mu analyzed the head of the way, and Su Yue'er listened very carefully, and kept nodding during the period.
After staying in the prefect's mansion for a few days, her mood became much happier, and Su Yue'er brought some gifts carefully prepared by Su's mother from the mansion and returned to the Qin Mansion.
Su Yue'er invited all the concubines in the house to the garden, which was a good time to enjoy the flowers.
Then he ordered the kitchen to make some delicious snacks out of flower petals, and put them together in the garden.
Su Yue'er's complexion looked very good, and all the concubines in the house had arrived, but Gu Muzhi was missing.
"Wow, Mrs. Su, these earrings are so beautiful."
"yes, yes."
Everyone opened the gifts that Su Yue'er gave them, and they were all small earrings carefully made by Su's mother.
"If everybody likes it, it's fine." Su Yue'er smiled softly, and began to talk and laugh with everyone, the garden was full of their laughter, so lively.
Coincidentally, under Lu Yuan's conditioning, Gu Muzhi's body recovered quite well, and he felt that the room was really stuffy, so he took advantage of the maid's inattention and sneaked into the garden to breathe.
From afar, I saw Su Yue'er, the leader in the garden, secretly screaming that it was not good, and she was about to leave, but it was too late.
"Eh, isn't that Miss Azhi?" I don't know who said more, the crowd suddenly quieted down, and looked at Gu Muzhi in unison.
"Hey, Miss Ah Zhi, come here, Mrs. Su came back today and brought gifts to all of our sisters."
When Su Yue'er heard this, she stood up and said proudly: "No need, I didn't invite her to our sisters' gathering today, because she doesn't belong here." ”
These words were heard by Gu Muzhi word by word, Su Yue'er deliberately provoked her, she knew it, but she was still unwilling in her heart, and it was not a taste.
After hesitating for a moment, he decided to put aside his grievances for the time being, turned around and left.
"Hahaha." As soon as I reached the door, I heard a burst of laughter from the garden.
Gu Muzhi's face suddenly turned red, and he trotted all the way and left here.
Gu Muzhi's behavior seemed to have grown Su Yue'er's majesty, she thought that Gu Muzhi was scared, so she was very proud.
Gu Muzhi, who returned to the room, had a gloomy face, and even the maid turned a deaf ear to her sneaking out.
"Miss Zhi, do you know about the lantern banquet?"
It seemed that she found that Gu Muzhi's mood was not too high, and the maid wanted to talk about other topics to distract her attention.
"What is it?" Gu Muzhi supported his chin with both hands, leaning against the window, with a lot of thoughts in his heart.
"The lantern banquet, as the name suggests, is a lantern festival, large and small, all kinds of lights are beautiful. This banquet is the biggest event of the year in Jingzhou, and almost everyone will be wandering the streets by then. ”
The maid's longing look naturally aroused Gu Muzhi's interest.
She wasn't very interested in things like lanterns, but it would be nice to have a chance to go out and have a look.
Just as he was listening to the maid's introduction to the lantern banquet, Qin Boyong came uninvited again.
In the past few days, Qin Boyong has come here for a walk after finishing the things he is doing. Gu Muzhi was actually used to this matter in her heart, but she didn't mention it on her lips.
"What are you talking about? Laughing so happily. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Gu Muzhi smiling and leaning back and forth.
"Back to the prince, the slave is talking about the lantern banquet."
Looking at Qin Boyong, Gu Muzhi suddenly had an idea, and an idea flashed in his mind.
"I heard that tomorrow is the lantern banquet, will the prince take me there?"
Gu Muzhi blinked his smart eyes and looked at the person in front of him expectantly.
"No, no."
Gu Muzhi pursed his lips in disappointment: "However, the prince clearly promised that if I wait for my body to recover, he will personally take me out for a walk, tomorrow will be an excellent opportunity, isn't it?" ”
Gu Muzhi was like a buzzing bee, constantly spinning around Qin Boyong's side.
Unable to withstand Gu Muzhi's series of attacks, Qin Boyong finally nodded and agreed.
When it was time for the banquet, Gu Muzhi happily followed Qin Boyong out of the door.
Sure enough, as the maid described, the streets and alleys were all lit up and lively.
In her memory, it was the first time she had seen such a grand scene when she had grown so big.
"Wow! It's so beautiful! I thought I wasn't interested in any of this, but when I actually saw it, I was still shocked and let out this praise from the bottom of my heart.
Along the way, Gu Muzhi jumped up and down, happy like a child.
Qin Boyong followed her silently, without saying a word.
"What's over there?" Suddenly, Gu Muzhi was attracted by the huge butterfly lamp in the distance, turned around and took Qin Boyong's hand, and wanted to go over there.
At this moment, I met an uninvited guest.
"Lord Wang!" I heard someone calling from afar, and when I turned my head, I saw Su Yue'er who was coming this way.
Gu Muzhi's good mood was ruined by her like this, and her face was not very good-looking.
Su Yue'er turned a blind eye to Gu Muzhi, and there was only Qin Boyong in her eyes.
What's even more excessive is that Su Yue'er naturally grabbed Qin Boyong's arm at some point and deliberately became intimate with him.
"Lord, is it okay to accompany the concubine to the river to put lanterns, I remember that I also went with the prince last year."
When Gu Muzhi heard this, she felt that Su Yue'er had deliberately said it to her, and her heart felt like she had eaten a stone, and she was extremely uncomfortable.
"Let's go together." Qin Boyong did not rush to answer Su Yue'er, but asked Gu Muzhi to go with him.
Gu Muzhi had long lost interest in his heart, and the more he looked at Su Yue'er, the more unpleasant he became.
There are countless lanterns in the river, and people are constantly putting them in it.
"Lord Wang, let's put one of them together, I hope the coming year will get better and better." Su Yue'er held the lantern in one hand and Qin Boyong in the other, and said happily.
"No need, go yourself." Qin Boyong quietly pulled out his arm as he spoke, and stood aside.
At this time, Su Yue'er's feet slipped, and she suddenly fell into Qin Boyong's arms.
This scene was seen by Gu Muzhi on the side, but she sneered at it in her heart, Su Yue'er's actions were too deliberate.
"Oh, Lord Wang, I'm sorry, the concubine didn't stand firm just now, the prince is fine."
After staying in Qin Boyong's arms for a long time, Su Yue'er pretended to struggle to stand up, and said with an apologetic face.
Qin Boyong was accustomed to it, and retreated to Gu Muzhi's side.
Su Yue'er felt Qin Boyong's behavior beside her, so she looked towards Gu Muzhi, and her smug appearance made people want to tear her face.
Although Gu Muzhi was proud on his face, he still didn't feel good in his heart, especially after Su Yue'er showed off to himself.
At this moment, shouts rang out from the river.
"Let's go back a little bit, let's start firing fireworks!"
