Chapter Seventy-Three: The Palace Banquet

Ji Yunyun went to find Ji Yunshu and pounced again, went back to the Splendid Courtyard, and Chunzhi greeted the door and said, "Girl, the cousin girl is here." ”

Yan Shuangshuang has been diligent these days, and she will come every few days, and when she heard that she was coming, Ji Yunyun went in happily, "Cousin." ”

It's almost the New Year, and the maids in the house are cleaning up the house every day, Ji Yunyun pulled Yan Shuangshuang to the yard, "Cousin, let's go sit outside." ”

Yan Shuangshuang took the initiative to say, "Let's go to the garden for a walk." ”

"Okay." Ji Yunyun didn't think much about it, answered, and took Yan Shuangshuang's hand and went to the garden.

Someone sent a bag of fish food, and Ji Yunyun took Yan Shuangshuang to the lake pavilion to feed the fish. The two of them lay on the fence and sprinkled the fish food into the lake, which soon attracted a school of fish to scramble.

Seeing that someone was coming from the lake opposite, Ji Yunyun waved his hand and called loudly: "Big brother." ”

As soon as Ji Yunyuan walked to the lake, he heard a shout from the pavilion opposite, and when he looked up, he saw that it was the second sister and her cousin.

He was going to the study, but with a turn of his footsteps, he walked towards the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

Hearing the footsteps getting closer and closer, Yan Shuangshuang couldn't help but clench the handkerchief in her hand, and her heart was pounding fast.

Ji Yunyun didn't pay attention to the strangeness of the cousin next to him at all, and when Ji Yunyuan approached, he said with a smile: "Big brother, where are you going?" ”

"Go to the study." Ji Yunyuan replied, his eyes moved to the girl beside her, nodded and said, "Miss Yan." ”

Yan Shuangshuang bowed her head slightly and blessed her body, "Ji Gongzi." ”

"Why are you here? It's windy on the lake, so beware of catching a cold. Ji Yunyuan said.

"It's okay, we just came, don't stay long, we won't get cold." As soon as the words in his mouth were finished, Ji Yunyun covered his mouth and coughed.

"Cousin." Yan Shuangshuang hurriedly stepped forward and patted her back gently, frowning slightly, and said, "You won't really catch a cold and suffer from the cold, right?" ”

Ji Yunyuan's brows also furrowed, "Hurry back to the house and let the kitchen cook a bowl of ginger soup to drink." ”

"I'll send you back." Yan Shuangshuang sprinkled all the remaining fish food into the lake, and was about to send Ji Yunyun back, when a gust of wind blew, and the handkerchief in her hand was blown away.

"My handkerchief!" She exclaimed, leaned over and leaned against the railing, and saw that the veil had fallen into the lake, and the fish thought it was fish food, and sank into the lake with it.

The patterns on her handkerchief were all embroidered by herself, and the one she brought today was her favorite, but she didn't expect it to fall into the lake, and her face couldn't help but show a look of chagrin.

"I'll have someone come and get it." Ji Yunyun glanced at it and said.

"Forget it, it's just a handkerchief, I'll send you back." Cousin's body was tight, and Yan Shuangshuang shook her head.

Watching the two of them get out of the pavilion, Ji Yunyuan walked to the side of the fence and glanced at the lake, just as there was a small servant passing by the lake, he beckoned to the little guy.

Yan Shuangshuang sent Ji Yunyun back to the Splendid Courtyard, watched her drink the ginger soup, and then got up to leave.

Originally, I didn't take coughing seriously, but when Ji Yunyun got up the next day, she found that her throat was sore and her nose was blocked.

"Girl, drink this bowl of ginger soup again." Chun Tao asked the kitchen to cook ginger soup again, and wrapped her girl tightly with a quilt, wanting her girl to sweat well and drive away the wind and cold.

Ji Yunyun didn't go out for a day, so she stayed in the house with warm charcoal, but she slept and got up one night, and the wind chill was not only not good, but it was serious again, and she also had a high fever on her forehead.

"No, let someone go and get a doctor." Chun Tao touched her forehead and anxiously ordered the little maid.

This wind and cold were menacing, so I invited a doctor to come and prescribed medicine, and Ji Yunyun drank the medicine in a drowsy way for a few days before she got better.

Yan Shuangshuang came to see her this day and brought her some appetizing preserves. Ji Yunyun sat on the soft couch, stroked her nose, and reached out to take the candied fruit into her mouth, she had no appetite for anything to eat in the past few days when she was sick, only these sweet and sour candied fruits could arouse her appetite.

After visiting Ji Yunyun from the Splendid Courtyard, she went back and forth to the Guogong Mansion many times, Yan Shuangshuang was already familiar with the road, so she didn't let Ji Yunyun's maid lead the way, she took her personal maid to the door. When I walked to the stone bridge in the garden, I saw Ji Yunyuan standing under the bridge with his hands behind his back.

She paused slightly, walked over and blessed her body, "Ji Gongzi." ”

"Miss Yan." Ji Yunyuan nodded at her, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to her, "This is what you dropped last time." ”

Yan Shuangshuang took it and saw that it was the handkerchief that fell into the lake last time, her eyes widened slightly, and she thanked her again and again in surprise: "Ji Gongzi helped me catch it?" Thank you so much. ”

"With a lot of effort, Miss Yan should go back quickly, don't stay outside for a long time, and the wind is blowing and the wind is cold." Ji Yunyuan smiled at her and said softly.

Is he here waiting to give her back the veil? Yan Shuangshuang's heart was warm and excited, her fair cheeks were stained with thin powder, she curled her lips, revealing two small pear vortices at the corners of her lips, and raised her head to smile at him, "Hmm." I'm leaving, thank you Ji Gongzi. ”

Ji Yunyuan watched her walk away, and couldn't help but think, the two pear vortices next to the corners of this girl's lips are strange and beautiful to laugh at.

Every year before the Chinese New Year, the emperor will hold a banquet in the palace to invite the emperor's relatives and ministers to bring their families into the palace. Ji Yunyun was not in the capital when he was a child, but later returned to the capital, and because his mother and father died one after another, he had to keep filial piety, so he was never allowed to enter the palace. This was her first time in the palace, but it was just in time for the wind and cold to be good.

"Girl, if you don't talk to the eldest lady, you won't go to the banquet in the palace in the evening." Seeing that her girl's forehead was still a little hot, Chun Tao frowned.

Ji Yunyun shook his head, "No, the emperor specially said that all the family members would arrive, how could I not go?" ”

The queen has been sick all these years, she has not seen the banquet in the palace for several years, this year it is rare to get better, to participate in the banquet, the emperor is very happy, specially let all the family members to be present, if she does not go, isn't it in the emperor's interest? This kind of crime cannot be afforded by the government government.

Let the kitchen fry a bowl of medicine to drink, clean up and dress up, the carriage has been parked at the door, the old lady and Zhou's Ye family, Ji Yunyun and Ji Yunshu, Ji Yunlan, Ji Yunqing, and the rest of the male dependents rode horses and went to the palace.

The banquets for the male and female dependents were in the front hall and the apse respectively, and the positions were arranged, the old lady and the Zhou Ye family were in front, and their juniors were close to the entrance of the hall, Ji Yunyun sat down next to Ji Yunshu, and next to Ji Yunlan and Ji Yunqing.

"Second sister, can you hold it?" Ji Yunshu touched her hand, a little hot, and frowned worriedly.

This kind of banquet is not something that can be done in a while, and it will take several hours to sit here.

"It's okay, I can hold it." Ji Yunyun smiled at her soothingly.

When everyone arrived, the eunuchs outside the palace sang, and the queen and Sun Guifei, as well as the other concubines in the palace, arrived in turn.

Ji Yunyun leaned over the ground like everyone else, and when she heard the queen's voice, she got up and knelt down in her position like everyone else.

Although the queen's face was a little sickly, her temperament was still elegant and graceful, which pressed Sun Guifei's flamboyant momentum.

The queen was thoughtful and considerate, and every lady in the hall greeted her before ordering the palace ladies to eat.

The dishes in the palace were sent up one by one, and in the middle of the hall were the dancing girls from Fanbang who were dancing in turn, and the whole hall was gradually a little stuffy, and Ji Yunyun couldn't eat it after tasting a few bites of the dishes, and his brain began to be groggy.

Seeing that something was wrong with Ji Yunyun, Ji Yunshu whispered in her ear: "Second sister, I'll accompany you to go outside to blow the wind." ”

Ji Yunshu helped her up, and the two of them arrived outside the hall, and the cold wind outside the hall blew, and Ji Yunyun felt much better when her brain was clear. The two stood outside the hall for a while, and Ji Yunlan came out of it and said to Ji Yunshu: "The queen wants to talk to you, grandmother asked me to call you in." ”

"You go in, I'll stand outside for a while." Ji Yunyun nodded at Ji Yunshu and said.

"Then don't stand too long, come in early." Ji Yunshu gave a word of advice, and then entered the hall with Ji Yunlan.

The eunuchs and palace maids outside the palace came and went, Ji Yunyun was a little noisy, and after standing for a while, he walked into the garden, and the palace lamps were hung on the trees in the garden, which could illuminate the surrounding roads. She found a flat stone beside the rockery, took out a handkerchief and put it on the mat, and prepared to sit for a while before going in.

She sat on the rockery with her forehead propped up, and her brain, which had been a little clear, was a little drowsy. Oh no, it seems to be serious again, she thought groggily, it wouldn't be good if she fainted here, she got up with the cold rockery and wanted to go back to the main hall.

As soon as she got up, there was the sound of branches plucking and footsteps next to her, she turned her head to look through the dim light of the palace lamp, and saw Qi Cheng coming out of the rockery.

Ji Yunyun clutched his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, "You're not in the front hall, what are you doing here?" ”

Qi Cheng said: "I'll send medicine to my mother." ”

Although there is a warm jade, but Princess An still has to rely on medicine to regulate her body, today came to the palace for a banquet, forgot to bring medicine, Qi Cheng specially asked people to go back to the palace to get it, he came out of the front hall, took a shortcut to send medicine to Princess An.

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing that something was wrong with her, Qi Cheng asked.

"Nothing, I'm in." Ji Yunyun shook her head, and as soon as she took a step, she stumbled under her feet, and Qi Cheng hurriedly reached out to support her.

"Why are you so hot?" You can feel the heat through her clothes, Qi Cheng reached out and touched her forehead, it was hot and scary.

His slightly cool hands were very comfortable, and Ji Yunyun couldn't help but rub his forehead against his palm, and said in a daze: "Is there one?" I'm going back to the main hall. With that, he reached out to push him away.

"You want to go back after you've burned like this?" Qi Cheng grabbed her and sat down on the rockery, "Sit here and wait for me, don't run around." ”

After speaking, he strode towards the main hall not far away.

Ji Yunyun sat on the rockery in a daze and leaned on it for a while, and suddenly a cloak with body temperature covered his head, and then he was picked up by someone, leaned into a warm and firm embrace, and was calmly hugged away.
