Three days later, it was the seventh day of the seventh month of July, the begging festival, and everyone packed up their mood for the holiday, and did not theorize the death of the dealer's mother and son for the time being.

Zhao Zhen planned to set off after the festival and go to the front line.

On the night of the Chinese Valentine's Day, a banquet was held in the palace garden. Although it was a banquet, in fact, there were only a few concubines in the palace, plus Zhao Zhen himself. The banquet is set up in the Fuyun Building, the whole building is lit up, with colored silk wrapped around the railing, it is better to look at it in the daytime, but in the evening, the palace lamp is lit, the glass lantern of the five corners rotates with the wind, the Fuyun Building is high again, the melodious music comes from the building, it is really like a fairy descending to earth.

On the Fuyun Tower, Zhao Zhen sat on the south main seat, Yixuan sat behind him on the right, and Hu Qingyun and You sat opposite each other.

Li Jingyan did not come because of her illness.

In fact, Li Jingyan is really sick, that is, her mind is depressed, and her whole person is confused. But today is a special day for the female dependents, and she should be there. But she really didn't have the face to see Zhao Zhen, and her lover had just died, and the beggar festival was just a joke to her.

After Yixuan drank the wine in the cup, Zhuang Furong saw it with sharp eyes, and immediately came up and poured her another glass.

Yi Xuan smiled softly, raised her cup and shook it, and glanced at Hu Qingyun.

Hu Qingyun's smile did not decrease, and he was discussing something with the maid, as if he hadn't noticed her at all.

However, how is that possible?

Hu Qingyun was actually very nervous.

She didn't know what the princess meant by bringing Zhuang Furong with her, did she want to expose her today? But the princess only has one witness, and this witness doesn't prove anything, at most, she has some dealings with the mother and son of the Zhuang family.

Even so, she was afraid.

Who doesn't know that the prince is an eccentric.

Eccentric enough to only care about the princess's moods and moods, only the princess is his treasure, and others are unimportant and indifferent.

The fingers pressed on the edge of the silver cup were so hard that their nails were pale, and the fingertips were pressed into a chisel pattern. She suddenly picked up the wine with a smile, got up and said, "The concubine wishes the princess and the princess love each other, and the princess will add a little son to the prince earlier." ”

When these words came to Zhao Zhen's heart, he even had a smile on his face, and took a sip and said, "You have done a good banquet today, and you have worked hard." ”

"The prince has tormented the concubine." Hu Qingyun humbled himself, and then sat down. Yu Guang glanced at Zhuang Furong, and Zhuang Furong immediately lowered her head.

On that day, the reason why she chose the princess was actually for no other reason, just because of the word "fear". In terms of status, the side concubine is not as good as the princess. In terms of momentum, the princess is terrifying.

Since choosing one side will offend the other party, it is better to choose a powerful one, at least to save one's own life.

However, after staying in Cuiwei Courtyard for a few days, I found that the princess was not as strict as she seemed, but very casual and easy to get along with. The princess usually doesn't see her at all, so she plays with the little maids and lives quite comfortably.

Today's Qixi Festival, the princess came out to the banquet and specially called her. She knew that it was for Concubine Hu to see.

In order to show her obedience, she was extremely attentive, adding wine and cloth dishes. Shuang'er reminded her to do it.

She could feel Concubine Hu's gaze from time to time, although it was only for a moment and would soon move away, but it still sent chills down her spine.

When everyone had finished eating, they went downstairs to the pavilion to rest. A column of maids held a tray covered with a red jacket with silver needles and threads on the red jacket and sent it to Yi Xuan, Hu Qingyun and You Shi.

On the day of Qixi Festival, the woman threaded a needle under the moon and begged for a good fortune.

Yixuan is the princess, and only when she wears the needle first can she get Hu Qingyun and You Shi. Yi Xuan picked up the needle and thread, stared wide under the moon, and poked it for a long time without poking it in.

……

It's not that her eyes are bad, it's that the moonlight is too dark to see clearly!

However, she also admitted that after marrying Zhao Zhen, she lived too comfortably, she hadn't mentioned needlework for a long time, and her hands were a little shaky.

In the pavilion, Hu Qingyun, You Shi, and many maids all watched, and gradually some people quietly passed their eyes to each other.

"The princess's hands are so stupid!"

"What woman can't even breathe for a begging needle? Why did the prince marry a useless vase and come back? ”

“……”

Of course, no one dared to say these words.

Yixuan couldn't wear it, and was a little irritable, so she handed the needle to Shuang'er and said willfully, "I won't wear it anymore." ”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Zhao Zhen stood in the pavilion and frowned, and ordered left and right: "Give the princess a lantern." ”

Cao Jun answered with a smile. You Shi interjected coldly: "Needles are skillful, you can only borrow moonlight, and I have never heard of using lanterns." ”

Zhao Zhen glanced back at You Shi.

Cao Jun hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the moonlight, the old slave can save it." ”

Not long after, five half-moon-shaped lanterns appeared beside Yi Xuan.

"......" Yixuan was a little speechless and a little funny.

Zhao Zhen walked over and gently patted her head twice: "Is it enough?" Not enough to add it to you. ”

"That's enough." Yixuan lowered her head and muttered, "I'm not blind. ”

"Say what?" Zhao Zhen asked.

Yixuan shook her head, raised her eyelashes to look at him, smiled a little shyly, poked his chest and asked, "Do you dislike me?" ”

"Nope." The man sneered, "It's good to be stupid." ”

Cao Jun turned his head in embarrassment, with a complicated expression.

He really had never seen his own prince so infatuated, and he was no different from those stupid sons.

Yixuan hated him: "Don't call me stupid!" ”

Zhao Zhen didn't speak, only smiled and hugged the girl's shoulder.

Yi Xuan picked up the needle and thread again, and this time she didn't have much effort to put it in, Zhao Zhen grabbed her little hand and rubbed it, and then she didn't let go, and the two went back to the pavilion.

Hu Qingyun and You Shi also finished wearing needlework. Some people hold small objects such as geese, mandarin ducks, turtles, and fish made of yellow wax, commonly known as "floating on the water", for the princess and the two side concubines to put in the water.

Yixuan picked two geese, one for herself and one for Zhao Zhen, and asked him to release them with him.

Zhao Zhen didn't think much about it, just as a girl was fun, he accompanied her to have fun. Anyway, it's just one night today, and after today, there's no time to see each other.

The two geese were put into the water, Yixuan plucked the water twice with her hands, and the two geese snuggled and drifted away.

Yi Xuan smiled and leaned on Zhao Zhen's body, hooked his neck with both hands, and whispered in his ear: "Do you know why I asked you to magnify the wild goose with me?" ”

Zhao Zhen said he didn't know.

"Because geese are the most infatuated. Once married, they will never be separated for the rest of their lives. If you release geese with me, you are not allowed to like others anymore. ”

Yi Xuan blinked, looking proud that something bad had succeeded.

But she was anxiously waiting for Zhao Zhen's reaction.

Can't say why. Since Zhao Zhen went to the Plum Garden last time, he would occasionally look empty in a daze, and his eyebrows seemed to be focused on important matters.

Yi Xuan guessed that maybe Zhao Zhen had loved someone deeply in the past, but for some reason, he couldn't be with that person once.

Saying don't mind that's false. But after all, it was in the past, and she didn't want to bring it up, so Zhao Zhen was sad, so she could only guess by herself.

She also thought about going to the plum garden to have a look. But after all, I didn't have that courage.

Zhao Zhen listened to her words, was stunned for a moment, and then smiled faintly: "Who else can I like besides you?" ”

Yi Xuan choked and waved her hand, "I mean later." ”

"It will be the same in the future. Don't get cranky. Zhao Zhen gently pinched her face.

Everyone returned to the pavilion and blew a cool breeze for a while. A few more maids brought the "grain board". The so-called "grain board" is to lay a layer of soil on the wooden board, bury some seeds on it, and the seeds send out small seedlings, and then put small thatched huts and flowers and trees on the board, so that capable craftsmen can make some small clay figures on the top, all of which are dressed up by farmers, which is very interesting.

It's the first time Yi Xuan saw this, and she liked it at a glance, and praised it with a smile: "This thing is very chic, it really looks like a few villains doing farm work." ”

"If you like it, move to Cuiwei Courtyard."

A little gadget, if you can make her smile, you can give it to her, and you can do as much as you want.

Hu Qingyun was puzzled: "Lord, this is specially for you, and the princess's concubine has also been prepared." ”

Zhao Zhen raised his eyes and glanced at her, his gaze was so calm that it gave Hu Qingyun a cold illusion, and he couldn't help but feel cramped.

"Then it's all for the princess." Zhao Zhen's voice was not emotional.

He's a big man, what's the use of asking for this? It's better to give Yixuan, and you can still make her happy.

The smile on Hu Qingyun's face faded, and then his eyes drooped, as if he was sad, but he still maintained a dignified and sensible appearance, "Concubine understands." ”

The grain slab in front of her was the largest and most delicate, and she spent a lot of money and hired several people to make it. The seedlings on the grain board can also grow and bloom, unlike other seedlings that do not grow at all.

It's all Wen Yixuan's slut!

Hu Qingyun looked at Yixuan with a faint smile: "The concubine will send the grain board to Cuiwei Courtyard later." ”

"Forget it, since it was given to the prince, it is not easy to take away the palace. Cao Jun, take it for the prince. Yi Xuan stuffed a smile in her mouth, and didn't look at Hu Qingyun at all.

She just praised her for her good looks, Zhao Zhen wanted to give it to her, and it wasn't her Baba'er's request, so she couldn't blame her.

Hu Qingyun is weird, don't want to send it? She doesn't want it yet!

Zhao Zhen didn't know these wits between women, but he looked at Yixuan puzzled: "Don't you like it very much?" ”

"It's okay." Yixuan is faint.

Zhao Zhen wiped the crumbs from the girl's lips with his fingers, and said gently: "If you don't like it, forget it." I'll have someone make you look better. What do you like? Tell Cao Jun and let him make one in the style you like. ”

Yi Xuan's smiling eyes crooked, "Really? ”

Zhao Zhen nodded. He said to Hu Qingyun again: "This king doesn't need these, you can keep them for yourself." ”

Hu Qingyun didn't expect this to be the result, so he smiled reluctantly and said, "The prince doesn't need it, you can also put it in the courtyard to make a decoration......"

"The king said that there is no need." Zhao Zhen gave her a cold look.

Recently, Hu Qingyun is really a bit disgusted with him, last time he provoked him with Wen Zhiluo's matter, and then slandered Yixuan for murder without evidence, and today he is ignorant again.

He let it go gently, hoping that Hu Qingyun would stop in moderation.
