Chapter 67: The Lantern Festival Banquet of True Love

The Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the lights are brilliant, the whole world celebrates, and all families are reunited, lively and lively.

The most dilapidated Nangong in the palace is also unprecedentedly lively today, and a large number of cooks and servants from the Xu Wang family arrived early in the morning to start buying food and preparing utensils.

Beginning in the evening, the princes and princesses came one after another, and everyone got together and was overjoyed.

Zhao Yuanzuo and Zhao Yuankan were also very happy, they had been locked up in Nangong for so long, and they finally saw so many relatives. Originally, the two of them were not uncommon to the throne, and if they could get along with the emperor's family in exchange for this now, it would be worth it.

Everyone sat around a large table, and in addition to the princes and princesses, there were also the eldest princesses, the second princesses, the third princesses, and the concubines of the two married princesses.

Zhang Yanyan was not qualified to serve at the table, but because it was an event organized by King Xu, she also came, commanding the servants to serve wine and food, looking very shrewd and capable, and personally poured the first round of wine for everyone.

When King Xu saw that people were sitting together, he said to Zhao Yuanzuo: "Big brother, let's say a few words to everyone." ”

"What do I say? Again, you said. Zhao Yuanzuo said modestly.

"Then what's the matter, you're the big brother." Xu Wang insisted.

"Okay then." Zhang Yuanzuo no longer shirked, and said: "The third child and I made a mistake, and all the consequences are deserved, and my father is merciful, so we can sit at home and reflect, we are already very satisfied." I'm so happy that you can come and see us today and celebrate the holiday together. It is said that the emperor's family is weak, and I also thought so in my impression before, not to mention that you also know. But now I don't think so, and the reason why people are weak is because they haven't managed this family relationship well. ”

Zhao Yuanzuo was a little excited, stood up and continued: "When a poor child from a peasant family has only one steamed bun, the elder brother will give it to the younger brother, and the younger brother will deliberately leave it for the elder brother to eat, so although they are poor, they manage their feelings very well. The emperor's family is because this steamed bun is too fragrant and tempting, and the children are not as good as ordinary people. I am very pleased that you can come to see us today, I am the eldest brother, I express my position, I am willing not to eat this steamed bun, just to keep this family affection, and I will always be your eldest brother without regrets in this life. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Yuanzuo cried, Zhao Yuanxi also cried, Zhao Mingyue also cried, and the people on the table wiped their tears. Breaking bones and tendons, whose brothers are willing to kill and persecute each other?

Zhao Yuanxi said: "Big brother, don't worry, you will always be our big brother, with a big brother like you taking the lead, our brothers will not have Li Shimin." ”

Zhao Yuanzuo was very excited when he heard him say this, held King Xu's hand and said, "Second brother, I can't take care of it inside, these younger brothers and sisters are all dependent on you, eldest brother, thank you." ”

"Don't worry, big brother, I won't let you down." King Xu also held his eldest brother's hand tightly

Zhao Yuanzuo raised the big wine glass, his arm was shaking constantly, obviously very excited: "Come, how can there be no wine at this time, let's make this glass together." ”

Everyone was very excited, and they picked up the cups to touch, and the atmosphere was harmonious and warm.

Zhao Yuanzuo's wife, Cao Shi, saw Princess Xu coughing while holding the cup, so she said, "Brother and sister, you have always been in poor health, so let's drink less." ”

Princess Xu covered her mouth and coughed, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, if you want to change to the past, I won't drink it, I'm so happy today, it's okay to have a drink." ”

Zhao Yuanxi said on the side: Yes, this wine should be drunk, but I will drink it for you. As he spoke, he took the wine glass in the princess's hand, started work left and right, and drank the two glasses of wine in one go.

Princess Xu glanced at him and pursed her lips and smiled, full of tenderness. Recently, she felt that King Xu seemed to have returned to the time when he was first married, with human affection and sophistication, and tenderness and sweetness, unlike some time ago, with a gloomy face all day long, staring at the throne with red eyes.

Maybe it's because I've been relaxed since I didn't feel threatened.

King Xu put down the wine glass, wiped his mouth and said, "Yanyan, pour the wine." ”

"Yes, yes, my lord." Zhang Yanyan came over to pour wine again, her voice and body trembled slightly, and she spilled it out when she poured wine for Zhao Mingyue.

"What's wrong with you? How to tremble? Zhao Mingyue asked suspiciously.

"No, no, princess, I'm not excited with everyone." Zhang Yanyan smiled and walked away.

Zhao Mingyue no longer paid attention to her, probably because she saw the affection of her second brother and sister-in-law, and she was jealous.

On this night, the brothers and sisters were moved by their true feelings, drank a lot of wine, talked a lot, laughed for a while, cried for a while, danced for a while, and sang for a while.

The atmosphere on the 15th day of the first lunar month is obviously different from the 15th day of August last year, and the princes and princesses present can feel it deeply.

It wasn't until late at night that the song was gone.

Because it was too late and he was a little drunk, Zhao Mingyue did not go back to the Lingwei Hou Mansion, but went back to the harem to rest.

Zhao Yuanxi was drunk today, and hugged the princess and cried for a long time in the car home, but he didn't say a word. The princess hugged him gently but did not say anything to comfort him, she knew that he had too much guilt in his heart to vent.

Zhang Yanyan was very well-behaved today, she didn't fight or grab, and took the initiative to help King Xu go to the princess to sleep.

Zhao Mingyue returned to the harem drunk, and the sword served her to sleep, and couldn't help asking, "Princess, why do you drink so much wine?" ”

"Of course I'm happy."

"Happy, is it from Ling Kun?" Squire asked.

"Nonsense, what's the joy of drinking with him, do you want Ling Kun?" Zhao Mingyue squinted her eyes and asked.

"Nothing." The sword was ashamed and argued: "The princess lives with someone else, and she doesn't even return home, so I think I will have to marry him sooner or later." ”

"Hey, Xiao Nizi, I'm going to marry him, you're not his roommate yet, are you in a hurry?"

"Princess, what do you say, you are too drunk, hurry up and go to sleep." The servant sword hurriedly pulled the quilt and forcibly wrapped Zhao Mingyue.

Zhao Mingyue fell asleep with a smile.

Shi Jian sat on the edge of the bed, not sleepy for a long time, and Ling Kun's shadow always appeared in his mind.

Do you really want to be a roommate for him, but how do you do a roommate?

The next day, Zhao Mingyue reluctantly got up and had breakfast with the queen, which was also a little filial piety by the way.

The queen is still like that, teaching a dead girl a lesson, but she is constantly serving vegetables to Zhao Yunsheng next to her.

Zhao Mingyue is not jealous, in the situation of the eldest brother, his son can enjoy happiness here, and he is lucky. It's a pity that Yunsheng still has two younger brothers who follow the eldest brother to suffer.

After eating a little casually, Zhao Mingyue was ready to go out.

She was a little worried, on the night she was away, Ling Kun didn't soak Xiao Ran's little vixen. If she hadn't been there that day, maybe the rascal would have answered.

However, at this moment, a team of guards entered the harem, and the leader knelt down and said: "Niangniang, princess, I am humbled by the emperor's order, and ask the princess to go to Dali Temple to cooperate with the investigation." ”

"What? You're here to get me? Why? Zhao Mingyue asked in surprise.

"We don't know any of this, princess, please." The guards had grim faces, and they had the intention that if we didn't leave, we would do it.

The queen also asked in surprise, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" ”
