Chapter Seventy-Eight: Lantern Festival

The brothers and sisters here are talking energetically, discussing how to add some blockage to Mrs. Yaoguo, but Zhou Yi'er over there has already found that Gan Lin's eyes have drifted towards them a few times, although Zhou Yi'er and herself, the prince's cousin, are not very familiar, but when the prince has something to say to the two of them, he hurriedly interrupted loudly: "Mama Zhang, is lunch ready?" ”

"It's almost over, please invite the prince, the prince and the young lady to the table." Zhou Qizhi has a good advantage here, not only does he have his own small kitchen, but also because the queen and the prince come to visit from time to time, so a few more people are not busy at all today, and when he heard this, he opened the curtain and invited everyone in.

At this time, Su Ruhui and Zhou Yi'er's banquet just now had already been changed, and it was replaced by a higher level of food, Gan Lin sat in the first place, although the rules in the palace pay attention to food and do not say anything, but now everyone is the same generation, and there are not too many rules in private, Gan Lin took a sip of wine, and said in surprise: "This is Bingxin Brew?" ”

"Back to the prince's words, this is the previous queen's mother's reward, because the young lady has never taken it out, the slave and maid look at the snow today, the prince and the two sons are coming in the snow, so people are a little hot to warm their bodies." Mama Zhang said with a smile, just now Su Ruhua gave her dignity and asked her to accompany her at the last seat, but now there is no place for her in front of the prince, so Mama Zhang stood aside and served in person.

"What is Ice Heart Stuff?" Su Ruhui has also seen Gan Lin a few times, and they get along with each other well, and they are not restrained at the moment, and they asked.

"It is a kind of special wine brewed in the palace, and it is said to taste very good, but the stamina is very strong, and we girls are generally not very good at drinking." Zhou Yi'er and Su Ruhui still put light blue lychee green in front of them, Zhou Yi'er raised the wine bottle and said with a smile, "Bingxin Brew is much better than our lychee green, Mama is so eccentric!" ”

Mama Zhang and Zhou Yi'er were much more familiar, and said lightly: "The second young lady has wronged the slave maid, where is the slave maid who favors the prince and the sons?" It's really not a good wine for girls. ”

"I'm a shallow person, Sister Yi'er doesn't know if I can drink a few glasses?" Su Ruhui was poured three litchi green just now, and now she is a little upset, so she can't help but turn her head to ask Zhou Yi'er.

Zhou Yi'er smiled: "If I can drink it, let Mama pour a cup of ice heart brew for me." ”

But I heard Wei Yuqing over there say a little surprised: "Mama, although this wine is good, I can't drink it, please change it for me or lychee green." ”

Lychee green is a fruit wine that the noblewomen of the imperial capital like, the color is light and elegant, the entrance is slightly sweet, and the stamina is not large, this Wei Yuqing, as a man, actually took the initiative to drink lychee green, which shows that his alcohol consumption is really not good. However, Su Rufeng praised him after drinking a glass, and Su Ruhui saw that he drank several glasses in a row, not only worried that he would get drunk and make a mistake, but also worried that he would be too open in front of the prince, so he couldn't help but secretly fly him with an eye knife.

It's a pity that Su Rufeng was so happy that he didn't notice his sister's hint at all.

Gan Lin on the main seat doesn't seem to have a bad amount of alcohol, although he doesn't drink cup after cup like Su Rufeng, he doesn't drink less. This lunch was lively, but although there were a few words during the banquet, it was a bit of a bland.

However, this is also a normal thing, and now there are rumors of abolition outside the palace, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, there is a miscarriage and witchcraft, and at this moment I don't know what it looks like inside and outside. Gan Lin is also being involved, who still has the heart to talk about the celebration of the New Year's Festival?

But all kinds of taboos in the palace rules for the New Year are put there, and there is nothing to talk about other topics, but the prince talks about his homework with Su Rufeng and Wei Yuqing, and Zhou Yier and Su Ruhui care about each other with them, after all, Gan Lin is the prince, and Su Rufeng is Su Ruhui's brother-in-law, these concerns can still be said.

After seeing Zhou Qi's illness this time, Su Ruhui and Zhou Yi'er returned to Lumingtai to be quiet for a long time. It wasn't until the Lantern Festival that they solemnly dressed up again, and this time they couldn't be cautious, because this Lantern Festival night banquet, the Queen Mother, personally came forward to preside over it.

In the eyes of those who have a heart, it is inevitably another proof that the queen's position is crumbling.

Su Ruhua got up early and combed her double snail bun, her age is here, except for the snail bun and the maid bun, the other hairstyles are not enough to comb. There are a small broken flowers wrapped around the snail bun, which is guided by gold wire, and the small broken rubies are accumulated, and the stars are like red plums in the snow, from the feet of the bun to the top of the bun, and there is a large plum blossom-shaped gemstone flower embedded in the top of the bun.

Wearing goose yellow pinched silver thread embroidered with colorful butterflies and wearing a deep coat with a hundred flower patterns, the waist is tied with a belt with gold thorn grape patterns, and six Hunan skirts are dragged below, and the corners of the skirt are a pair of lotus-colored delphiniums and jade pendants, because it is a formal banquet, Su Ruhui opened the box and turned over a piece of shawl to come out, because the color of the clothes has been bright, the shawl is made of lotus color, corresponding to the jade pendant.

Su Ruhui dotted cinnabar on the center of her eyebrows as usual, and hung a cloud circle on her chest, and a long-lived lock fell from the circle, which was quite exquisite, it was a gold and jade style, and there was a night pearl embedded in the middle. There are two bracelets on each wrist, and the phoenix carved gold and gem-inlaid ones and the jade jade bracelet gently collide, making an extremely pleasant sound.

After cleaning up here, Xiuwan also changed into new clothes there, and combed a simple high bun, although Xiuwan can't comb her hair, but the palace maid usually combs the high bun and the holy bun. It's just that these two hairstyles are not in line with Su Ruhui's identity, so naturally Su Ruhui can only figure it out by herself.

I went to the Detai Hall with Zhou Yi'er, but the Queen Mother had not gotten up yet, the two were waiting under the corridor, and the Queen Mother allocated to the mother of Danzhu County Lord came out and invited them to Dongnuan Pavilion, and the Lord of Danzhu County seemed to be a little sleepy, and was rubbing his eyes and ordering the breakfast in front of him to be removed.

The two of them glanced at it silently, the queen mother personally raised it in the warm pavilion of the palace where she lived, and the treatment of the little county lord was naturally not bad, but the county lord of Danzhu obviously had no appetite, and everything was only slightly moved. Instead, he smiled when he saw the two of them come in, and quickly got up and asked them to sit down.

Danzhu wanted to go to dinner with the Queen Mother just now, but Mama said that the Queen Mother hadn't gotten up yet, and asked Danzhu not to disturb the Queen Mother. I heard a prayer outside to say goodbye, thinking that it should be Sister Zhou and Sister Su who are here, it's cold outside, it's better to wait here in Danzhu, and then go over together later. ”

Su Ruhui and Zhou Yi'er both thanked her with a smile and greeted her again.

The three of them were talking and laughing, and the Queen Mother got up, and it happened that Huo Qinglian arrived and rushed in to serve the Queen Mother to freshen up and eat. Needless to say, after a while, Queen Zhou brought a large number of palace concubines to ask for peace.

Zhou Zhizi has been in the middle palace for many years, and her momentum is unusual, although the powder that is much thicker than usual can hardly hide her haggardness, but she is still imposing when she sits upright. The Empress Dowager Jiayi looked at it, but she was angry in her heart, feeling that although this daughter-in-law was a little incompetent, her bearing was good, and the crown prince Gan Lin was there, so she couldn't help but have a little bit of protection.

After saying goodbye, Queen Zhou knelt down without saying a word, and took off the phoenix hairpin in the middle of the hair to ask for sin.

Picking hairpins, especially phoenix hairpins, is extremely humble and pleading. And Zhou Zhizi didn't say anything at all, only said that he was incompetent.

What happened in the palace during this time was not small, the palace concubine had a miscarriage and witch Gu...... Even if the Queen Mother had some pity for the Zhou family, it was impossible for her to have no ideas in her heart, she reprimanded her sentence by sentence with a straight face, and after beating hard, she did not waste anything as rumored, but changed her tone, and suddenly mentioned several princes, and only asked Zhou Zhizi to treat his son well.

Everyone was puzzled by these words, and even Queen Zhou couldn't react.

The Queen Mother didn't mention it for half a sentence, and Queen Zhou didn't know if this was revealed or the Queen Mother didn't want to make anything happen at the festival, and planned to investigate it later. Also, what does it mean to let the queen treat her son better? Is it said that the queen treats her son badly? How is this possible!

Is that still ironic that the queen's attention is on palace affairs and neglects the prince, so that Xin Cairen found the cursed puppets of the princes under the bed?

It's a pity that the queen mother said that the queen was tired, so she asked most of the people to retreat, and kept the people from the last time to deal with her to deal with many wives. But it is impossible to guess the meaning of this statement.
