Chapter 24: The Lantern Festival
Liuli stepped in and said with a smile, "Niangniang, Lord Jing is here." ”
Yin Huan put down the biography in his hand and got up and said with a smile, "Help me up and invite him in." ”
Ye Xinghuan had already stepped in to see, and helped Yin Huan to get up with his hand, "I have had some political affairs recently, so I didn't come to see you, Yin Huan, don't you blame me?" ”
He always had a smile on his face, he had just come down to the court at this time, and he obviously said it to Cang Rinchen.
Yin Huan walked to the coffee table with him and sat down, picked up the teacup and poured tea for Ye Xinghuan, "How can I blame you, you are the father of the child, not to mention that there are so many things in the court, I made you remember it." ”
Ye Xinghuan raised his head and glanced at Yin Huan, he heard that Yin Huan had been in poor health recently, so he came to see it in person today, and sure enough, her face was a little pale......
Yin Huan saw Ye Xinghuan frowning and gently smoothed his brows with his hand, and quipped, "What are you frowning, do you not like to see me so much?" Is it really so displeasing to enter my Fengqi Palace? ”
Yin Huan was afraid that everyone was worried about her body, so she had to make fun of Ye Xinghuan in this way.
"Yin Huan, you know I won't." Ye Xinghuan took the teacup handed over by Yin Huan and sat down beside her.
He just took advantage of her safety now to see her more and chat with her, if one day she is really gone, he doesn't want to leave any regrets and sadness for himself.
"Okay, it's rare to take advantage of the time, why don't we chat, it's been a long time since we've sat down and chatted face-to-face." Yin Huan looked at him with a smile, and Liuli bowed and withdrew, leaving only two people in the room.
Liuli knows that King Jing has thoughts about the queen's mother, after so many years, she guesses that most of the princess has also let go, she is with Yin Huan every day, but she doesn't think that the queen is an unusual person, why so many people have that they shouldn't have thoughts about the mother.
"Tell me, what the hell are you doing today?" Yin Huan smiled and chose a suitable place to make his body more comfortable.
"It's going to be the lantern festival in a few days, but I'm interested in going out of the palace to play, I see you are bored and panicked, Yan'er is at home with the children, and I can't go out for a while, so I told her to ask you out to play."
"Lantern Festival?" Yin Huan thought for a while, "It's this festival in the blink of an eye, I listened to Liuli's chatter two days ago, and I didn't pay attention to it, but there are many people in this daytime, I don't want to go." ”
The lantern festival is actually the Qixi Festival, just pick a name to celebrate with the whole world, the first day of the lantern festival will hold a ceremony to worship the sky, many princes and nobles will attend, only at night when it is more lively, the common people can all participate, and even Fanbang foreign clans will enter Beijing to do some small business.
"The sun is very poisonous during the day, I'm afraid you won't be able to go if you want to, and ah, the imperial brother has already set up a banquet on the first night, and you are going to go."
Yin Huan nodded, the two chatted again, and after being bored in the palace for a few days, they soon ushered in the lantern festival.
Liuli was so excited early in the morning, she didn't like to dress up on weekdays, she also painted a light makeup, Yin Huan also joked if she wanted to find a husband, if she wanted to find a prince, she would help her find a prince and nobleman to marry, Liuli just kept asking Yin Huan not to make fun of her, but there were ripples in her heart.
This banquet was deliberately set up in a private garden outside the palace, which means that the ministers should not be restrained, and everyone sacrificed to the sky early in the morning, Yin Huan did not attend because she was unwell, but she really did not have any interest in those things that knelt and bowed, but she was pitiful and was taken away last night to prepare.
Yin Huan entered the private garden of Cang Rinchen, and there were lights everywhere, and the Imperial Forest Army blocked the entire garden outside, but there was a hole inside, and the stands were still improvised performances, so it was not enthusiastic.
Yin Huan followed Ye Xinghuan, Cang Rinchen's position was in the middle, and Yin Huan's chair had already been set up next to him, Yin Huan walked over and whispered, "How about worshipping the sky today?" Tired? ”
She doesn't have to guess, the bag is like a dumpling on a hot day, it's good if it's not hot, Cang Linchen nodded, "I'm fine, I'm sorry." ”
Yin Huan hadn't seen him for the past two days, and felt that his face was even more lonely, and she didn't bother to pay attention to what's wrong with him, she sat next to him and watched the face-changing show, the two of them have been together for a long time, and they know what kind of person they are, and Yin Huan doesn't want to ask more about other things.
Youdu saw Yin Huan coming, got up from the chair next to him, and suddenly rushed to Yin Huan's side, and said in a milky voice, "Queen Mother, these shows are old and good-looking, and they will change their faces." ”
Yin Huan hugged him in his arms, looking at the sweat on his forehead and feeling a little distressed, "Are you tired of kneeling today?" Did you make your father angry? ”
He snorted when he heard Yin Huan say that he was naughty, and turned his head, "Queen Mother, Du'er is not naughty, but after kneeling for a long time, Du'er's legs are numb." ”
"Okay, the queen mother knows that the only child is well-behaved." Yin Huan rubbed Youdu's knees gently, with a smile on her face, many officials next to her stared at Yin Huan and whispered, she didn't bother to pay attention to it, and watched the performance intently with Youdu.
"Yin Huan." Feng Ge Xu saw Yin Huan, got up from his position, and as soon as he shouted this, he immediately covered his mouth and whispered, "Queen Mother, I thought you weren't coming." ”
Yin Huan was stunned, such a big scene, why shouldn't she come? Could it be that someone behind her doesn't want her to come?
Cang Rinchen turned around and interrupted Feng Ge's words, "Yin Huan, do you want to go see the spotlights?" ”
"Is it a headlamp?" Yin Huan looked at him with a smile, "After Xinghuan left, you were all brilliant alone, and there was nothing particularly good-looking." ”
"I want to this year, I hope that Du'er can grow up healthily, and I hope your body can get better soon." Cang Linchen got up and took Yin Huan's hand.
Yin Huan was embarrassed to refuse, so she had to get up, and glanced at the only child in her arms, who knew that this bastard boy had already made a refusal before she could speak, "Queen Mother, I won't go, I want to stay here, I heard them say that they will swallow the sword for a while, I saw the spotlight of my father last year, it is not interesting." ”
"I don't have an Uncle Huang spotlight yet, I'm going, I'm going." Su Ya, who was beside Feng Ge, heard that there was something fun, and immediately spoke up, not caring about this occasion.
Yu Du's mouth was like a deflated ball glaring at Su Ya next to him, "Hmph, little traitor, didn't you say to watch the show with me, I don't believe you anymore......"
"Okay, okay, Du'er Suya and Feng Ge are all here." Yin Huan interrupted the argument between the two little kids.
A group of people went to the inner courtyard, and there were already people under the high platform who were picking out beautiful lanterns and giving them to their favorite people, but the position on the high platform was always vacant, and it was obviously the exclusive property of Cang Linchen.
As soon as he came in, Ande bowed slightly, "Your Majesty, this year's lamp is ready, just wait for the emperor to shoot this headlamp, and then the people will be happy." ”
Yin Huan said, "It's like this every year, but it's also boring, this year it's better to ask Shang Xinghuan and the young master of the Feng family to shoot together, just find a competition, and give everyone a fun." ”
As soon as Ye Xinghuan wanted to refuse, Cang Linchen looked at Yin Huan softly, "Okay, as long as Yin Huan likes it." Then he told Ander to prepare to go down.
Su Ya and Youdu sat on the small chair behind them, Feng Ge walked around in front of Feng Nansheng and patted his chest, "Brother, there is something beautiful today, the headlamp has been given to the queen by the emperor over the years, you must not steal the limelight of the emperor." ”
Feng Nansheng raised his eyebrows, and a trace of evil crossed the corners of his mouth, as if he had seen something interesting.
Ye Xinghuan frowned, and glanced at Yin Huan, she is a stupid woman, this lamp can only let the royal brother send her, how can she let outsiders shoot, are you really not afraid of making trouble?
Yin Huan was feeding Youdu and Su Ya food, a few people sitting in the back didn't know the ups and downs in front of them, Youdu took a bite of osmanthus cake and kept shaking his legs, "Queen Mother, Queen Mother, Father Emperor will definitely win." ”
"Not necessarily, but the queen mother still believes in her father." She replied with a sweet smile.
Feng Ge, nocturnal and dusty, stood on the high platform, a lantern was hung on the stake in the distance, An De ordered the eunuch to hand over the longbow, frowned secretly, and coughed, "Your Majesty, Feng Gongzi, Jing Wangye, the rules are like this, three people shoot arrows at the same time, whoever shoots the red rope on the lantern will win." ”
Many of the princes and ministers below all stopped their actions, and the atmosphere became a little stiff at this moment when they suddenly felt strange to the three people above.
Yexing smiled and pulled out his bow, "Brother Huang, I won't let you this time, Yan'er helped her brother give birth to a son, I want to give this lantern to Yan'er to play." ”
Feng Nansheng turned his head to look at Yin Huan, and was silent without saying a word, but his posture of pulling the bow made Yin Huan a little worried and unhappy, it seems that he is very powerful, Cang Linchen has met a good opponent this time.
The audience held their breath, and the three of them opened their bows together, staring intently at the lanterns in the distance, lest they miss a second.
Even Youdu dragged the osmanthus cake and looked stunned, he was the son of Cang Linchen, he was convinced that his father would not lose, and he would never lose......
Ye Xinghuan's arrow was missed by Feng Nansheng, and the arrow of the blue dust hit the red heart, and the people below broke out into thunderous applause, but many people frowned, and just now the clear-eyed people saw that Feng Nansheng deliberately missed the arrow, that is to say, he could have won.
Yun Shu below couldn't hold it back, Xia Yinhuan was in the limelight enough, that Feng Nansheng was clearly deliberate, thinking of the previous humiliation, she pushed aside the palace maid and rushed upstairs, pointing at Feng Nansheng angrily, "Bold, you actually dare to face the queen, I saw it just now, you can obviously shoot, you are obviously distracted by the queen's view......"
"What do you say? I don't quite understand what you mean? Feng Nansheng looked at Yun Shu by mistake, Concubine Yun was so frightened that her face turned white, and she hurriedly came over to drag her sister who didn't know whether she was alive or dead, didn't she know what the scene was now?
"What nonsense are you talking about? Yun Shu, my brother and the queen mother are innocent, how can this dirty water be poured on our cang. Feng Ge was also driven crazy by this woman, and scolded loudly, what is the scene today? Even if she is good friends with the queen, in case the emperor really has two hearts, the Feng family will not be able to eat and walk around.
"Feng Gongzi can't shoot because his skills are not as good as others, is Miss Yun a dead person?" Cang Linchen put down the bow and arrow in his hand, and the murderous aura in his body diffused, and the surroundings couldn't help but be cold.
Feng Nansheng still looked at Yun Shu blankly, looking puzzled, Yin Huan frowned when he saw that innocent look, was that Yun Shu's brain stupid today? How could Concubine Yun have such a stupid sister?
"Your Majesty, Nansheng was indeed attracted by the emperor's bow technique just now, so he was distracted for a while, as for what Miss Yun said about coveting the queen, the grass people really don't know anything, and please ask the saint to know it." Feng Nansheng's lips flapped, and the words that looked like a demon made Yun Shu's body tremble.
