Chapter 9: Viewing Lanterns
And after Mama Wang sent the quilt and charcoal to Ji Tian'an, she hurriedly went back to Zhang Xinchun to restore her life.
"What about the little slut?"
"Back to Mrs., the slave maid felt that the second lady was making a fuss, when the slave maid saw her today, she was still the same as before, and she was also grateful to Dade for asking the old slave to tell Mrs. her gratitude." As she spoke, Mama Wang also showed a mockery.
Hearing this, Zhang Xinchun was instantly happy, and sure enough, she was too worried, so she said, how could a person who has been bullied for more than ten years suddenly resist?
She suppressed the secret joy in her heart, "Mama Wang, you did a good job this time, your brother hasn't found a suitable job to support his family, so bring him to the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow." ”
Mama Wang bowed her head and her face was happy: "Mrs. Xie."
Zhang Xinchun waved his hand and motioned her to go down, but Mama Wang didn't pause and left directly.
After Mama Wang left, a man came out of the corner, the man's face was young, thick eyebrows and sideburns, his eyebrows and eyes were calculated and ruthless, his thick lips were pursed, and his complexion was slightly dark.
He looked at Zhang Xinchun's face with a bit of lust, and his hands were not obedient, he hugged Zhang Xinchun's waist, Zhang Xinchun didn't dodge, just stroked Chile's chin with his hand: "Chile, a good errand will come soon, my stepdaughter, it's really a hibiscus out of the water, a stunner."
As she spoke, she had already laughed out loud, as if she had seen the scene of her mother's mother in the future, when she was the dragon and phoenix among people, and her status was no longer the same as today.
Chile did not reply immediately, but just picked Zhang Xinchun up and went into the bedroom, and a shrill and shrill laugh came from the bedroom.
......
On the second day, it was the beginning of the year, in order to celebrate with the sky, Emperor Lu Qizhi hereby ordered the abolition of martial law at night every year, and made a "fire tree" with a height of 20 zhang and 50,000 lamps for this purpose, so that the citizens could visit the lantern festival for three whole nights.
At this moment, the whole Chang'an City is brightly lit, and the sky is celebrated, which is a lively scene.
Ji Qing came here for the first time, naturally she couldn't miss it, that afternoon, Xiao Jue began to prepare for Ji Qing excitedly, although she had a low status in this mansion, no new clothes to wear, and no one cared about her, but fortunately, she was accompanied by Xiao Jue.
In the evening, the two finished dinner early, dressed up as a family, and sneaked out of the house through the back door.
And although she was appointed by the emperor to marry, she was still not cared about by Ji Hejun.
But Ji Tian'an didn't care, she felt happy.
In this way, no one noticed Ji Tian'an and Xiao Jue, but Ji Tian'an always felt that it would not be peaceful tonight.
Night has fallen, but the lively scenery in Chang'an City has just begun, looking up, the street lanterns are hanging high, people come and go, and the noise is abnormal.
The hustle and bustle are endless, Ji Tian'an and Xiao Jue walk forward side by side, all the way forward, there are wandering poets chanting and competing poems with each other, handsome girls singing songs, and the old man who sells lanterns makes lanterns of different appearances on the spot.......
It's really not lively, Ji Tian'an didn't really understand the prosperity of the ancient lantern festival until today.
Along the way, Ji Qian'an kept watching because of curiosity, but he didn't stop, this prosperous scene in Chang'an City is really modern and immeasurable, if it weren't for her crossing over, it is estimated that it will be difficult to see in a lifetime.
Ji Tian'an stretched his neck and wanted to look at the end of the lantern festival, but he found that he couldn't see it clearly, so he turned his head and asked, "Xiaojue, how long will this lantern be?"
"Miss Hui, from East Street all the way to West Street, Miss, this scenery can only be seen at the beginning of the year." Xiao Jue has also been in the mansion for too long, and she has not seen such a prosperous and noisy scene for a long time, and she has begun to get excited.
"Call me Childe outside, don't expose it, but it's really beautiful here!" Ji Qing carefully observed the surroundings and saw that no one was paying attention, so he was relieved, and couldn't help but let out a sound of admiration.
"Miss..... No, Childe, let's go enjoy the lanterns together! ”
.......
Intrauterine.
The emperor set up a banquet in the palace, the palace concubines and the adults in high positions attended one by one, the concubines were all dressed up particularly brightly, a man was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, his face was cold, and he was a little old between his eyebrows, but he still couldn't hide the peerless elegance of the past, his eyes glanced easily, and the sense of majesty suddenly poured out, this person is the current saint, Lu Qizhi.
A woman beside him was dressed in a phoenix robe, her hands were folded and clenched, her head was wearing a gold silk beaded bun, and she was wearing a pair of sunrise phoenix hanging beads.
Today, the emperor held a banquet to entertain all the courtiers, in order to plan the future princesses and concubines for his princes from among the daughters brought by the ministers.
Since the Prime Minister's family entered, Queen Wan Yining has been silently observing the Prime Minister's every move, she has only seen Ji Qian'an's appearance when she was a child, and her mother Fang Xin's appearance is not bad, and she has never seen a woman similar to Fang Xin in her daughter's house here today.
So she tentatively spoke: "I heard that there are two daughters in the Prime Minister's family, both of whom are peerless beauties Hui Zhilanxin, why is there only one today?" What's more, the emperor decreed marriage some time ago, why don't you see the prime minister bringing his concubine today? ”
She glanced lightly, and then her eyes fell on Ji Hejun, and her voice was soft, but inadvertently with obvious majesty.
The ministers present couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, they had only heard that there was a daughter in the prime minister's family, named Ji Lesi, who was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her appearance was even more unique, but they didn't know that there was a character like Ji Tian'an.
When the queen mentioned it today, everyone was stunned.
Someone began to whisper: "The emperor's holy decree a few days ago gave the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion to His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince as a concubine, I thought it was this Ji Lesi, but it turned out that the official was wrong."
"Yes, yes, I also think so by Lord Zhang, it turns out that Prime Minister Ji actually has two daughters."
"On this occasion, why don't you bring your eldest daughter here, speaking of which, this official has never seen the prime minister's real eldest daughter, I'm afraid that my biological mother is gone, so I won't be taken seriously."
All of a sudden, all the attention poured into the prime minister's family.
Hearing this, Ji Hejun had a temporary confusion on his face, but after all, he had been in the court for a long time, so he still recovered quickly: "Back to the queen's mother, the eldest daughter of Weichen, Qing'an, is unwell today, and she is afraid of disturbing the banquet, so Weichen ordered her to stay in the mansion to recuperate, so he only brought the little girl Lesi."
Those officials who originally chewed their tongues changed the direction of the wind in an instant:
"So that's the case, the prime minister is really a loving father."
"The Prime Minister is worthy of learning from the officials."
Ji Hejun was speechless for a while.
The concubines and relatives of all walks of life sit according to their ranks, and all kinds of delicacies and delicacies are boiling.
The emperor, who has always shown people with a cold face on weekdays, can't help but smile a little when he celebrates with the sky.
Prime Minister Ji Hejun and Ji Lesi's mother and daughter glanced at each other, and in the next moment, Ji Hejun lowered his eyebrows: "Your Majesty, Wechen's little daughter Lesi has reached the age of marriage, and Wechen asks Your Majesty to give her a good marriage for her little daughter."
