Chapter 46 │ Lantern Festival

Linghu Zhengqi's birthday passed, the streets and alleys were still lively, and in a blink of an eye, it was the Lantern Festival, in the county king's mansion, Steward Shen and the maids were also properly arranged, and the maids' faces were also beaming......

Linghu Qingge leaned by the window in the house, looking at the maids who came and went outside, although their faces were red from the cold, but they were full of smiles, and they were very happy, so they looked very happy, so they looked forward and asked: "Shui Lan, are your palaces so lively during the festival on weekdays?" ”

Shui Lan shook his head and said: "It's not, it's because the lady came, the county king instructed us, saying that every year Chinese New Year's Eve is in the palace, but I didn't expect that the emperor did not set up a banquet this year, isn't this the Lantern Festival, specially let us decorate the mansion lively, and also give us an extra month of monthly money for the festival." ”

So in the mood......

Linghu Qingge smiled silently in her heart, seeing that the yard was booming, she suddenly felt that the snow was not so deserted this winter.

Although there is no sound of dogs and horses on this day, there are few wind and snow, but it is not bad to be plain, after the tea is cooked, Brother Linghu Qing picked up a cup and tasted it, the tea tasted clear, and Zuo Changan knew that he loved to drink the tea of the Huaijia Teahouse, and he specially wrapped a lot of it back.

It was just when he was enjoying the snow, and suddenly Shen Shu came in and said to Linghu Qingge: "Miss, Aunt Xuan is here." ”

Linghu Qingge sat up immediately when she heard this, Linghu Qingxuan came suddenly, she was not ready, quickly put down the tea, and nodded to Shen Shu after straightening up her clothes, Shen Shu took someone in, Linghu Qingge looked, today's Linghu Qingxuan is aqua green, in this ice and snow, looking at some spring scenery, half a month no, this person seems to have lost some weight, his body is weak, but I see more pity......

Linghu Qingxuan came in and saluted in a proper manner: "Madam, Qingxuan took the liberty to come over to disturb today, didn't disturb Madame, right?" ”

Linghu Qingge heard it and immediately said: "Qingxuan, there are only two of us in the house, you still call me sister, it sounds kinder this way, Mrs. is really a little old-fashioned." ”

After that, Linghu Qingge poured a cup of tea, pushed it to Linghu Qingxuan, and said, "The snow outside hasn't stopped today, why are you here?" ”

Linghu Qingxuan sat down and said: "Thank you sister, I have nothing to do in Jingyue Hall, so I made a lot of children's belly pockets, and specially embroidered a purse to give to my sister, thinking that the king of the county and my sister are blending oil in honey, and Meimei, sooner or later there will be a little son, it is better to prepare it earlier, but the embroidery is not good, please forgive my sister." ”

Brother Linghu Qing took it and looked at it and smiled: "Your embroidery is the best, I naturally won't dislike it, and I want to thank you." ”

Linghu Qingxuan saw her accept it, so she asked cautiously and tentatively: "Sister, Jingyue Hall is quiet, always a little boring, the king of the county often goes out of the house, if my sister doesn't dislike it, can my sister come to talk to my sister from time to time?" ”

After Linghu Qingge heard it, he felt that it was nothing, so he said: "It's okay, the county king has a lot of friends on the rivers and lakes, and he is indeed often not at home, this Guihuantang is also quiet, if my sister wants to come, come over, and talk about it." ”

"Thank you sister for not care, I know, I can enter the house because of my sister's generosity, but my sister can marry the person she likes in this life, she is already content, and she will definitely not dare to have any conflict with her sister.

"There is no need to mention the past, in the future, my sister will be born in the palace and raised, and it is also a good thing that we are in harmony in the house."

Linghu Qingge seemed reluctant to mention it, because she had heard that the emperor's health had become worse and worse recently, and even the palace banquet for the Tomorrow Yen Festival had been canceled, so she was afraid that she was getting closer and closer to her expectations with Zuo Chang'an......

Although Linghu Qingxue has the idea of entering the East Palace, but for the sake of the end, Linghu Qingge feels that this person is extremely terrifying, and she can do anything, she is really not worthy of entering the East Palace, and even enter the palace as a concubine in the future, Linghu Qingge is not a generous person, and she also has resentment in her heart, so no matter what Linghu Qingxue wants to do, she will not let her succeed......

Linghu Qingge thought about it and went out of his mind, Linghu Qingxuan saw that Linghu Qingge didn't speak, the atmosphere seemed a little awkward, so he said something else to Linghu Qingge: "Sister? I heard two days ago that you and the king of the county seem to have an idea to go around the Western Regions, and I don't know when to set off? ”

Brother Linghu Qing came back to his senses at this time, eased up and said: "Ah, yes, the king of the county said that it is inconvenient to go out now that it is cold and freezing, and after the spring starts in March, it may be time to leave." ”

Linghu Qingxuan lowered her eyes silently after hearing this, and said quite bitterly: "Sometimes I really envy the relationship between my sister and the king of the county, although it is the emperor's marriage, you have never seen it before, but maybe it is the fate between people, my sister and the king of the county are destined to be a pair of beautiful people......"

Linghu Qingge seemed to be very sour when he heard this, but looking at Linghu Qingxuan's innocent face, he couldn't say anything for a while, he just felt that he couldn't talk about it, so he looked at Shi Chen and shouted to the outside: "Shen Shu, go and ask the housekeeper, the county king can't come back at lunchtime, if he can't come back, put it in Guihuan Hall, and I will use it with Qingxuan." ”

Shen Shu was outside, but after a while, he lifted the curtain and came back and said, "The housekeeper said that when the king went out this morning, he said that if he couldn't come back, he would ask his wife to eat by himself, and he didn't have to wait for him." ”

Linghu Qingge nodded, and after a while, the housekeeper brought the maid in to set the meal, Linghu Qingge and Linghu Qingxuan sat down, and looked at Linghu Qingxuan's body becoming more and more weak, Linghu Qingge asked: "Are you still used to the taste made by the chefs in this house?" ”

Linghu Qingxuan said: "Naturally, the food in the palace must be good, but it is lighter to eat, but it is very exquisite." ”

"I don't like to eat anything very sweet, so maybe the chef is a little lighter, if you like sweet, I'll ask the kitchenette to make some sweet cakes and send them to you later."

Linghu Qingge was talking, and suddenly heard a movement outside the courtyard, Linghu Qingge raised his eyes and saw Zuo Chang'an coming back, the cloak also fell snow, the cold was pressing, Linghu Qingge got up and shook the snowflakes on his shoulders and smiled: "I came back just right, lunch was just on the table, I asked Shen Shu to give you a hot pot of wine to warm your body." ”

Zuo Changan glanced at Linghu Qingxuan, and his voice softened: "I asked a friend to bring back a Lantern Festival gift from Ryukyu, and I will give it to you tomorrow." ”

Linghu Qingge smiled when he heard it, a little expectation flashed in his eyes, Linghu Qingxuan looked at it from the side, only to feel that he was not standing or sitting at this time, it was very awkward, and Bao Se looked at it, so he quietly bowed down and said: "Miss, don't be stunned, please ...... quickly."
