Chapter 096: The Princess's Invitation (1st Update)

In the Qianqing Palace, Qi Yu, who was talking with Zhang Gui about going to the city tower to watch the lanterns at night to show that he was enjoying with the people, suddenly sneezed loudly. Watermark Ad Test Watermark Ad Test

Zhang Gui said with concern: "Your Majesty, but the dragon is unwell? ”

Qi Yu waved his hand and said, "I've been in good health lately. It's about the cold of spring, and today I'm wearing a little thinner. ”

Zhang Gui said: "When you go upstairs to watch the lanterns at night, Your Majesty must add more clothes and not catch a cold." ”

Qi Yu smiled: "Thank you Yuanfu, I remembered." ”

Zhang Gui and Qi Yu carefully discussed the details of the etiquette of climbing the tower to watch the lanterns.

Qi Yu was taught seriously.

"Courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame, the four dimensions of the country. If the four dimensions are not open, the country will perish. ”

From the first day of his accession to the throne, Jang Gyu taught him so. Etiquette is the foundation of the country, but also the embodiment of the prestige, no matter how big or small, it cannot be abolished.

For example, the grand enthronement ceremony, the people who climbed the tower to watch the lanterns, and the wedding ceremony that will be held in a few months......

……

In the evening, lanterns are lit, and the dim candlelight reflects the sunset on the horizon.

The Huang family also hung a few lanterns, some of which were rewarded by the palace, and some of which were made by Huang Yi'an with Huang Dong, Huang Yining, and Huang Liang's sisters and brothers, with different shapes and colors, decorating the simple courtyard beautifully and warmly.

Qi is now more than six months pregnant, even if she is slender and covered by thick cotton clothes, she is still full of pregnancy.

Wang and the others did not dare to work her, so they only let her sit and rest.

Huang Lun's mood changed greatly during Qi's pregnancy, and he has always stayed in her identity as long as he is free, let alone the moment of leisure and joy.

Afraid that Qi's would be bored, Huang Lun took her for a walk in the courtyard, pointed to the lanterns hanging in the treetops and eaves, and said jokes or lantern riddles to make her happy.

Wang took Huang Yi'an and Huang Yining to make dumplings in the kitchen.

Huang Wei examined Huang Dong and Huang Liang's schoolwork in the study.

The days were dull and warm.

It seems that except for the fact that there are more people in the family, there is no difference from previous years.

But Huang Yi'an understands that everything is different.

Sighing secretly, Huang Yi'an pressed all the grievances, worries and helplessness deep in his heart.

This is the last Lantern Festival she has spent at home, and she must not let everyone worry because of her emotions.

When the dumplings came out of the pot, Huang Yining led Huang Dong and Huang Liang to cheer, scrambling to try it, and the lively noise suddenly swept away the depression in Huang Yi's peace of mind.

"Little gluttonous cat! It's like you've never eaten rice balls! Huang Yi'an took the spoon and waved away the hands that were about to reach into the pot, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, it's all there!" Both! ”

Huang Yining grinned and said, "How can it be the same? This is the eldest sister's original glutinous rice balls, which is unique in the world! Well, what's the name? It's better to call it 'Queen Dumplings'! ”

Huang Yi'an couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, took the spoon and waved it gently in front of her, and said, "Go and go, don't make a mess!" ”

Seeing this, Wang hurriedly took a bowl and served the rice balls, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone has rice balls to eat!" ”

The daughter's displeasure in being the queen is a secret that she and her husband keep tightly.

The second brother's family didn't know the inside story, they only knew that there was a queen in the family, full of pride and pride. Between words, it is often revealed inadvertently.

She knew that every time someone said it, they were actually pouring salt into her daughter's wounds......

Huang Yi'an took the bowl, smiled at Wang, and silently comforted.

Although she was unwilling, she had to accept her fate, and she was not afraid to follow the old path of her previous life again.

However, my father and mother didn't know her state of mind, but she was more sensitive and nervous than her.

In this regard, the only thing she can do is to cherish the rest of her days at home and try to do what she has to do to make them feel at ease.

Huang Yining and the three of them had rice balls to eat, so they immediately diverted their attention and scrambled and said:

"I want sesame filling!"

"I want sesame stuffing, too! And peanut stuffing! ”

"I want fruity!"

"I'm going to ...... more"

The chatter of joy filled the entire kitchen in an instant with the steaming heat from the lid lifted.

The lively and reunion atmosphere of the Lantern Festival was brought out at once.

……

After eating the rice balls, before he could guess the riddles on the lanterns in the courtyard, someone from the palace came to invite him, saying that Princess Shouyang invited Huang Yi'an to watch the lanterns on the street.

With Huang Yi'an's current status, of course, it is inconvenient to go to the street to watch the lights.

However, Princess Shouyang personally invited her, so naturally it was another matter.

Princess Shouyang was able to go out of the palace to watch the lanterns, naturally because she had the approval of the queen mother of the two palaces. Then she sent someone to invite, and of course the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces also knew.

Therefore, Huang Yi'an thought for a moment and agreed.

"Please wait a moment." Huang Yi'an politely said to the palace maid Hongmian who came to pass the word.

Kapok hurriedly curtsied, very respectfully.

After Huang Yi'an finished freshening up, Hongmian and Amei served her left and right to go out of the house and board the car.

To Huang Yi'an's surprise, as soon as he got out of Jiqingfang, he met Zhang Xi who came by car.

The two sides stopped the carriage and asked each other.

"Sister Zhang, where are you going?" Huang Yi'an asked with a smile.

Zhang Xi smiled and said, "The princess is waiting for you in the Denghe River, let me come to inform and greet you." ”

Huang Yi'an was surprised when he heard this.

Did Princess Shouyang actually ask Zhang Xi and the others for an appointment?

Seeing this, Zhang Xi smiled and said: "It is difficult for the princess to leave the palace, so I am ordered to accompany me, as well as Miss Shen and a few other acquaintances." ”

Huang Yi'an heard that they were all official ladies who had good friends on weekdays, so he was relieved and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, then let's go quickly, don't let the princess wait for a long time." ”

Zhang Xi responded with a smile.

The two lowered the curtain and drove away.

Each was stunned.

If it were as it had been, they would have been going to ride together, laughing and laughing all the way. However, in order to avoid suspicion, he has to be cautious in front of outsiders.

……

The original name of the lantern river is Yuquan River, because there are many people in the capital who put lamps in this river, so it is also jokingly called the lantern river, and over time, the real name is very few people call.

Princess Shouyang, Miss Shen and others took the first step to the Fangdeng River, and at this time they were standing on the arched bridge to watch the bright flowing lotus lanterns all over the river.

The guards guarded under the bridge and cleared the surrounding area, lest anyone collide with Princess Shouyang and the young ladies of the Zhu family.

"Wow, that's beautiful!"

Princess Shouyang leaned over the railing and leaned out of the bridge.

I saw that under the bright moon, the breeze was blowing, and the Yuquan River was slowly moving away with sparkling waves. On the waves, the river lanterns are like the blooming lotus flowers swaying, misty and far away, and the stars in the sky reflect each other.

One can't help but wonder whether it was the galaxy in the sky that fell into the mortal world, or the river of lights in the mortal world that flew to the nine heavens.

Of course, you can also put lotus lanterns in the imperial garden, but the water surface is too "delicate", not to mention, but also full of artificially carved ingenuity, where there is this naturally generated, winding Yuquan River in front of people is fascinated.

It is also a lotus lantern bright and misty, looking at it from a distance, it seems to be illusory and real, like a fairyland.

"It's so beautiful! It's a wonderland on earth. Princess Shouyang muttered as her eyes followed a lotus lantern floating under the bridge.

Miss Shen smiled and said, "Why don't people in the capital like to come here to put lanterns every festival?" ”

Princess Shouyang nodded repeatedly.

Such a fairyland on earth, if she can, she hates to live for a long time!

It's a pity that as a princess, she was detained in the deep palace, and probably only after getting married and having her own princess mansion can she come out to play at will......
