Chapter 185: Lantern Festival

Lan Guifei calmed down with a word, and Bai Yanran couldn't help but be stunned.

Lan Guifei, how dare she?

However, the next moment, an angry rebuke from Emperor Yuan He sounded: "Ridiculous! ”

After saying that, Emperor Yuan and Emperor personally left the table to help Concubine Lan Guifei, held her hand and said, "Get up quickly, I know that you have been wronged." ”

Concubine Lan's heart fell, and she snuggled in the arms of Emperor Yuanhe and called aggrievedly: "Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Yuanhe patted her shoulder, and since he looked up at the queen, he said coldly: "The queen is in charge of the harem, and she actually let these rebellious rumors circulate in the palace, making the concubine suffer a lot of grievances, which is really dereliction of duty!" If there is a next time, I think it will be time for someone else to be in charge of the harem. ”

Tong's face was cold and hard, and only after a while did he squeeze out a sentence "The concubine is guilty", but it provoked Emperor Yuanhe to leave immediately.

A good Lantern Festival palace banquet, the emperor and queen broke up unhappily, and everyone in the rest of the banquet naturally couldn't stay.

Bai Yanran patted Ling Xi's arm, Ling Xi nodded, and went over to help the queen back to the palace with Concubine Shu. Ji Sihong's eyes looked at him coldly, and he got up and left with a sneer.

The eyes of the poor nobleman swept over, and I didn't know what I saw, but it seemed to be a little shrunken, and he quietly retreated.

Bai Yanran and Ji Lingyun left the palace, and they were just the beginning of their talents at the moment. It was lively outside, but the atmosphere in the carriage was a little dull, and Su Xin and Zhu Ling didn't dare to come out.

Bai Yanran sighed: "The prince and His Royal Highness the crown prince have been bothering for a long time, but it is a change not to want to pity this nobleman. At today's Lantern Festival family banquet, when such a scandal is mentioned in public, it is inevitable that the emperor will feel that he can't hang it on his face. ”

Ji Lingyun sneered: "It's been like this since I was a child, no matter what Lan Guifei or Ji Sihong do, as long as Lan Guifei kneels down and sheds two tears, my father will take it lightly in the end."

But the queen mother is different, the queen mother is the middle palace, in charge of the six palaces, and everything in the harem has to be asked one by one. Whenever there is a mistake, the father will be furious.

When I grew up, I realized the reason, my father was forced to marry my mother, and I felt that I owed Lan Guifei's mother and son, so I was so favorable. But how innocent is the queen mother? ”

Bai Yanran didn't know how to comfort him, so she reached out to shake his hand. Ji Lingyun opened his fingers, the two of them shook their fingers, he looked at Bai Yanran and smiled softly: "So I swore in my heart since I was a child, in the future, my princess will be my favorite person, a couple for the rest of her life, there is no need for others, and there is no room for others." ”

At this moment, a gentle chant suddenly came from outside the carriage, singing "One life and one couple, half drunk, half awake and half floating." ”

Seeing Bai Yanran's voice, Ji Lingyun raised his voice and said, "Ah Wu, stop." ”

Ah Wu stopped Male, Gu Fang jumped out of the carriage with his sword, and stretched out his hand to take Su Xin who came out of front next. Zhu Ling looked at the two of them with a serious flash of envy, and then she didn't know what she thought of, and her face was overshadowed.

If the Lantern Festival Palace banquet is luxurious, the folk Lantern Festival is the real excitement.

Different from the Daughter's Day to release river lanterns to pray for a heavenly marriage, the Lantern Festival is a lively and festive picture. On the day of the Lantern Festival, the family is reunited, and until the night is still brightly lit as day.

When you get out of the carriage, you will see 10,000 lights, most of the lanterns on both sides of the street, and the bustling crowds on the street are also carrying lanterns, which is really interesting.

Not far away, there are graceful women dancing and singing on the high platform, and a circle of lanterns burned around when the song and dance is finished suddenly rises to the sky, which is actually a prayer lantern.

Everyone around them looked up and watched the lantern ascend to heaven, clasped their hands together and made a vow. Bai Yanran is not exempt from vulgarity, and sincerely makes what she wishes.

May I live up to this life, and I hope I will not regret this life.

After listening to the song and dance, there are new tricks after taking two steps. The lantern, which was a man tall, couldn't help but be lit with candles, and there were bursts of piano sounds, and someone was actually playing the piano inside.

But the crowd in front of him was surrounded the most, but it was a stall that guessed the riddle and won the lantern. This is the old calendar of the year, far less fresh than other tricks, but the owner of this stall is really good craftsmanship, so it still attracts a lot of people.

I don't know what kind of material the lantern paper is, and all six sides depict the same stunning beauty, sitting or standing, smiling, very expressive. When the lantern rotates, the picture of the beauty comes to life under the candle flame, which is fascinating.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Bai Yanran always felt that the beauty on the lantern was a little familiar, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

The boss saw that there were many people surrounding him, so he raised his voice and said, "Come and take a look, take a look." These beautiful lanterns are the treasure of the store, and they are painted by the beauty herself in this painting. It is not sold in silver, just answer the riddle of the lantern owner, and the guesser can get it, but someone wants to try it? "Book bar

A good deed person shouted: "Boss, your beautiful picture is indeed good, but this kind of immortal posture should only exist in the sky, how many times can you smell it in the world, you are not trying to deceive us for a gimmick, right?" ”

The boss was not annoyed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Although the little old man doesn't know the origin and name of this beauty, he really saw it with his own eyes, people are more beautiful than paintings, and there is no half-truth." ”

The crowd was in a commotion, but no one came to answer, presumably there were already many people who returned in disappointment, it seems that the mystery of this beauty is really not simple.

It was probably because Ji Lingyun and Bai Yanran's appearance was too outstanding, and after the boss's eyes swept around the surrounding people, he looked straight over, looked at Ji Lingyun and said, "This son wants to try?" It's not good to win a lantern and give it to the lady next to you. ”

Ji Lingyun turned his head to look at Bai Yanran, Bai Yanran felt a little uncomfortable in her heart for some reason, so she shook her head lightly, and simply took Ji Lingyun's hand out of the crowd.

The boss behind him was still talking about it, but Bai Yanran did not hesitate at all. The two of them got out of the mystery stall and bumped into a boy who ran crazy with his playmate.

Bai Yanran was startled, and hurriedly went to pick up the child to see if he had fallen. I didn't want that kid to be very skinny, and I got up all the time and chased and frolicked with my playmates as if I was all right.

Bai Yanran and Ji Lingyun looked at each other and smiled, seeing that the lantern in the hand of the child was painted with a tiger, with clumsy brushstrokes, which did not match the exquisiteness of the lantern, but seemed to be painted by the child himself.

After walking forward for a while, I really saw a lively lantern stall in front of a pen painting on the lantern paper. The owner of the stall was a clever young man, and when he saw the two of them, he pulled over the business and said: "Come and see, two guest officers, I not only have ready-made lanterns here, but also lanterns without inscriptions, and provide pen and ink. ”

Ji Lingyun stepped forward and picked out an ordinary lantern, and then pondered for a moment, then picked up the pen and painted, and it took a full hour to hand the lantern to Bai Yanran.

There are also six paintings painted on the six lamps of this lantern, on which is a couple looking at each other and smiling, or hugging each other, but it is not Bai Yanran and Ji Lingyun.

Bai Yanran's face was slightly pale, and Ji Lingyun asked, "Do you like this lantern lady?" ”

Bai Yanran smiled: "I like it, I like it very much." ”

Ji Lingyun smiled like a cat that had stolen a fish, and pretended to be serious: "Although this lantern is not as good as the one above, and the husband's painting skills are slightly inferior to the beauty in the painting, but since the lady likes it, the husband is naturally happy." ”

Bai Yanran knew that he saw that he was a little careful, so he took the opportunity to joke at this time, but he didn't know it, and turned around and said: "I've been out for half a day, I'm really tired, let's go back." ”

Ji Lingyun behind him smiled more and more happily, and the depression on the carriage was completely happy at this moment. He generously took out a piece of silver and gave it to the young stall owner, and chased after him.

However, at this time, in the Zichen Palace, the atmosphere was not as brisk as this.

Although there was no danger today, Lan Guifei still lost her temper when she came back. At this time, the palace people outside were still cleaning up the mess on the ground, and there were only the two attendant palace maids beside Concubine Lan, Zhuyu and Luo'er, waiting inside.

Luo'er stepped forward to serve tea, and Zhuyu saw that the master's face was finally better, so he opened his mouth to persuade: "Niangniang is angry, fortunately, the emperor finally loves Niangniang and believes in Niangniang." As long as the emperor believes in the mother, no matter what tricks those villains play behind him, it is useless. ”

Lan Guifei slapped the table and said hatefully: "It's just too deceitful!" Now even a little nobleman dares to point fingers at this palace, is it really when this palace has fallen out of favor?

This palace has been with the holy car for nearly 30 years, and even the queen has to avoid three points, she is a little nobleman who humiliates this palace so much, and this palace Duan Ran can't tolerate her! ”

Zhu Yuse shrank down, and then said: "What Niangniang said is that now even the emperor is on our side, and what new tricks can a little poor noble person come up with, it is not for Niangniang to teach him." ”

Compared with Zhuyu's clever tongue, Luo'er never said a word, lowering her eyes as if she had not heard it.

When Lan Guifei heard this, she was not happy, but her brows became more and more frowned. She glanced at Luo'er, who had low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and said impatiently to Zhuyu: "You go down first, just leave Luo'er here in the palace to wait." ”

Zhuyu unwillingly glared at Luo'er, who was like a wooden stake, but she didn't dare to refuse, so she had to go down.

Zhuyu went out to close the door, and there was silence in the hall for a long time, and after a while, Concubine Lan opened her mouth and muttered in a low voice: "This palace knows the emperor, and the emperor must have been suspicious in his heart." It is precisely because of this that the emperor is reluctant to drop blood in the court today to recognize his relatives, but he will definitely send someone to take Hong'er's blood behind his back. ”

Luo Er opened his mouth and said: "We can't guard against it on the prince's side, but the emperor has De'an by his side and is our person, so don't worry about it." ”

Concubine Lan nodded and said: "This is exactly what this palace means, for today's plan, the only way to do this is to replace the blood with Yun'er's after the emperor takes the blood, otherwise the years of preparation will be in vain, and the daughter of the palace has suffered so much in vain." ”

Speaking of this, her eyes became more and more determined, and she ordered: "You go and tell De'an that as long as he does this, the palace will make his nephew an official, so that the rest of his family will be rich and prosperous." If he doesn't do it, he won't be much better if something happens to this palace! ”

Luo'er's eyes were not shocked, as if she had expected it, and responded: "Don't worry, the slave knows what to do." ”
