Chapter 406: A Pair of Heroes
Old Madam Ji scolded with a smile, "Unruly girl, she also laughed at your sister." ”
Ji Xiaojia is not very afraid of Old Madam Ji now, and after hearing Old Madam Ji's words, she responded with a smile, "What Grandmother taught me is that Xiaojia knows that she is wrong." ”
There was only an expression on his face, but there was no sign of repentance.
Mrs. Ji said casually, and she didn't intend to really blame Ji Xiaojia, nor did she continue to worry about her, but changed the topic, "Today is Ruhuan's eighteenth birthday, I thought before, before I got married, I would definitely give you a big one, but unfortunately I caught up with the lantern banquet in the palace, so I had to give up, but the birthday ceremony must be indispensable to you, Hongxing." ”
At this time, Hongxing came over with a tray from the side and put it in front of Mrs. Ji.
Old Madam Ji beckoned to Ji Ruhuan, and when Ji Ruhuan came to her and sat down, she uncovered the tray, and there was a delicate dagger lying on it.
Mrs. Ji picked up the dagger and said with a smile, "I know that you don't like things like jewelry, so I specially looked for this dagger, it is said that the iron is sharpened like clay, but it is very sharp, it is a rare good dagger, my old woman doesn't understand these things, you take it yourself and think about it." ”
Ji Ruhuan took the dagger, took it out and looked at it, and then she couldn't put it down, and smiled happily while playing, "It's still my grandmother who loves me, and I know that I like these things." ”
On the side, Shen replied with a smile, "After seeing the old lady's birthday ceremony, I was embarrassed to take out the things prepared by the concubine." ”
Ji Ruhuan replied with a smile, "Mother just take it out, are the third aunt and second sister-in-law also prepared?" ”
Old Madam Ji stretched out her hand and patted Ji Ruhuan, and scolded with a smile, "Greedy girl." ”
After harvesting a bunch of birthday gifts in Mrs. Ji's yard and having breakfast together, Ji Ruhuan left her grandmother's yard first and returned to the Lingering Pavilion.
Seeing Xiao Jin, Ji Ruhuan asked, "Can it be arranged?"
Xiao Jin patted his chest and replied with a smug face, "I'll do something, Miss don't worry, there will be no problems." ”
Ji Ruhuan nodded, "When you enter the palace later, you take Wang Tiezhu with you, you know what to do when the time comes, right?
Xiao Jin responded, "Miss, don't worry, I promise to complete the task." ”
At this time, in the Eldest Princess's Mansion, after the county lord of Huining beat it every day, he looked at the group of trembling maids in front of him with a gloomy face, "A group of useless things, I can't think of a way to help Miss Ben get out of the mansion, what do you want." ”
One of the maids answered cautiously, "Miss, Miss, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess said that if you sneak out of the house again, you will be sent to the ancestral hall to be confined." ”
The county lord of Huining stretched out his hand and grabbed the teacup on the side, and threw it towards the maid with all his might, but the maid didn't dare to hide, and he was hit by that slap, and there was an instant opening on his forehead.
Blood was smashed on her forehead, but the maid knelt on the ground without daring to make a sound.
The other maids were frightened and didn't dare to come out, but one of the maids stood up and said, "Miss, the slave maid has a way to make the young lady get what she wants." ”
The county lord of Huining looked at the maid and asked with a gloomy face, "What way?"
The maid glanced at the other maids, and looked like she wanted to say something.
The county lord of Huining waved his hand, "You all go down." ”
Waiting for only the maid to be left, the county lord of Huining asked impatiently, "What's the way, hurry up." ”
The maid came to the county lord of Huining, lowered her voice and muttered a few words, and the gloomy eyes of the county lord of Huining gradually began to shine.
Dugu Chiyan had something to do during the day, but he didn't come to find Ruhuan, but only let Dongxue inform Ruhuan that he would come to the gate of the Zhenguo Mansion in the evening to pick up Ruhuan and enter the palace together.
At the end of the day, Ji Ruhuan was pulled by Dong Xue again, but this time Ji Ruhuan insisted on not combing the complicated bun and wearing the cumbersome hairpin ring, Dong Xue couldn't help it, so she had to tie her hair up as simple as her own master, although it was not as graceful and moving as the woman's bun, but it also had a different flavor.
In the evening, everyone in the Ji family set off to the palace together, and saw Dugu Chiyan waiting for Ruhuan at the door.
The two of them, dressed in the same red and white wide-sleeved cardigan, tied in the same bun, stood together like a pair of beautiful people, and could not bear to break them up and let them sit in the same carriage.
On the way to the palace, sitting in the carriage, Ji Ruhuan could also feel the festive atmosphere on the street.
Lanterns are lit everywhere, and the people of Kyoto go out in droves, talking and laughing in groups, strolling around while admiring the lanterns.
When they arrived at the gate of the palace, they saw that there were a lot of carriages that had been parked, and the courtiers got out of the carriage and lined up at the gate of the palace with their families and dependents to accept the forbidden army to inspect and enter the palace.
When the Ji family and his party arrived, the courtiers took the initiative to give up their positions, and while giving them a salute, they beckoned them to pass first.
Dugu Chiyan took Ji Ruhuan to look at the long line, but he was not polite at all, and directly pulled Ji Ruhuan forward.
General Ji saw that his son-in-law had stepped forward with his daughter, and he had to help the old mother and the rest of the Ji family to follow.
Most of the courtiers who came to participate in the palace banquet only brought the wife or eldest son and eldest daughter of the main room, at most three or four people, like the Ji family, a large family of more than ten people, plus maids, almost twenty or thirty people, such a large team, it is rare.
When those forbidden soldiers saw the Ji family, they were also very polite, and after a symbolic inspection, they let them go.
The soft sedan chair was prepared inside, and the palace people beckoned the masters to get on the soft sedan chair in an orderly manner, and the maids who were waiting for them all followed the master's soft sedan chair on the side.
The Imperial Garden has already been filled with lanterns, but at this time, the Lantern Feast has not yet begun, and all the people who entered the palace to participate in the banquet were temporarily welcomed into the Flower Appreciation Hall in the Imperial Garden.
Wait for everyone to arrive, after the emperor comes, the lantern banquet will officially begin, then you can get together in twos and threes, drink and enjoy the lanterns, guess the lantern riddles, and chant poems.
Dugu Chiyan's appearance with Ji Ruhuan can be said to dazzle everyone's eyes, no matter who it is, they can't help but sigh, these two people are really a pair of beautiful people.
The two of them were still led by the palace people to the lower right head of the dragon chair to sit down, and when everyone was almost there, they heard a shrill singing and shouting from the door of the Flower Appreciation Palace, "The emperor has arrived, and the crown princess has arrived." ”
Everyone in the hall stood up and saluted, "See the emperor, long live my emperor, long live the crown princess." ”
Even on this occasion, the Queen Mother did not come forward, but no one dared to say no, after all, what the Queen Mother did, although the emperor did not pursue it too much, everyone clearly understood it in their hearts.
