Chapter 215: Chinese New Year's Eve Family Banquet

Li Xia's words are orders in this Fenglan Palace, Gu Lingge said a long time ago that anyone in this palace can not listen to their words, but Li Xia's words must not be perfunctory. Therefore, the palace maids decorated the main hall with their hands and feet, and then scattered to dismantle other places.

Lixia stood at the door of the main hall with her hands crossed. Qing Ruifan would come here every day, but since the day before yesterday, his figure has not appeared. But whether he comes or not, Lixia will wait here quietly.

didn't wait for Qing Ruifan, but the cuckoo arrived first. She had already begged for grace not to be a concubine, Gu Lingge was not there, her task had been completed, and the identity of Xiang Guifei was of little use, if she didn't have it, she could still be fair with Lan Yi.

"I've seen Xiang Guifei." Lixia looked at the juan and saluted her according to the previous etiquette. Regardless of whether she is a concubine or not, Lixia sees what she has done, and she deserves her respect.

"Hurry up, I can't afford this gift." Juan looked at Lixia's angry expression, and didn't understand what was wrong with her. Qing Ruifan gave Li Xia great rights and convenience, did not force her to leave Fenglan Palace, and also gave her the dignity of the aunt in charge of Fenglan Palace. It stands to reason that she shouldn't be bullied.

"The layout in this hall ......" The juan crossed Lixia, glanced at the main hall, and understood a little in his heart, "Or let them dismantle it and build it again." She had also heard Gu Lingge say that she didn't like red, and Lixia's resentment was probably because of this.

"Keep the main hall in case I let them all tear it down." Lixia always remembered that someone would come to visit, leaving a main hall as a façade, and the backyard was Gu Lingge's own territory, and no one except Qing Ruifan had the right to enter.

"If my sister is here, I will be very happy to see Lixia so capable." The cuckoo is sincere. When Lixia just came back, how many white eyes she endured, how many cold words she endured, she knew more or less, and she could only say that those who could stand by Gu Lingge's side were not ordinary people.

"Eh, I don't ask for this, I just hope she can be well, the four seasons are safe, and everything goes well, just do it." Lixia sighed. Speaking of Gu Lingge, she couldn't help but pinch it in her heart. She has been gone for so long, not to mention letters, not even a single message. She could only comfort herself, saying that no news was the best news, but she was still a little worried.

"Tomorrow night is the Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet, does the emperor say how to arrange the empress and the empress dowager?" As the emperor's bodyguard now, he is not allowed to talk to the emperor unless he is allowed, nor can he speculate about the emperor's intentions at will. She couldn't receive the news, so naturally she had to come to Lixia to ask.

"No, the emperor should have his own plan." Lixia doesn't care about that. She is just guarding someone who doesn't have to come back now, no matter how hard she tries to pretend to be the same as usual, but she knows in her heart that the rest of her life will die in the palace like those Yuan Luohua who have no feet. It's just that this is the place where Gu Lingge has stayed, which makes her somewhat comforted.

"A few days ago, the emperor said at the state banquet that the queen was sick, and at that time, many ministers praised the virtuous and virtuous lady, and the harem set an example." There is a great possibility, Ming'er can only say so. Although to Qing Ruifan's generation of kings, the connection between the previous dynasty and the harem is thin because of the cancellation of the postponed draft again and again, but it does not exist, and now the only few remaining ladies in the harem have their own support in the previous dynasty, and Qing Ruifan also sells face to some extent, and everyone coexists peacefully.

"The people in this palace are all very good, just in the past few days, many people have come to inquire." You don't have to guess to know it. The ladies in this palace are not easy to export, but they send a miscellaneous little palace maid to come here for a walk, even if they can't ask anything, they will always be sneering, and the diaphragm should also be able to respond to the dead.

"Come on, come on, everything is lacking in this palace, and there is no lack of backbone for the time being." Lixia is very confident in the person she has picked up. She has seen a lot of people, which is a worm and which is a dragon, she knows it clearly, even for the harmony of this Fenglan Palace, she will not allow anyone to be confused under her nose.

"So what do you do? Do you really want to die of old age in this palace? You have to think clearly, this palace is really not a good place to stay. "Juan is genuinely worried about Lixia. She is obviously a person who has already left the palace and does not get involved in these messes, because Gu Lingge ran back again, thinking that she could settle down, who knew that the master had run away, leaving her alone to deal with those jackals, tigers and leopards, this day is not easy.

"Anyway, I don't have anywhere else to go, my mother has the grace of regeneration for me, and I should stay." Lixia still clasped her hands and stood upright. There was no discomfort on her face, her eyebrows were low, she was respectful and gentle, and suddenly she looked at it, as if she had Murong Zhi's advancing and retreating demeanor.

"Then it's up to you. If the emperor is here, you should be safe. The two didn't say much, and the two said more indifferent gossip, and they parted.

That night, Lixia still didn't wait for Qing Ruifan after all. When the news came from outside that Qing Ruifan was staying in Chunlan Palace, Lixia didn't say a word, making people close the door and lock it, and they couldn't sleep all night.

Following.

The carriage of King Han's Mansion stopped at the door of King Yong's Mansion, and Gu Liangyue and Qing Ruiting sat in the carriage and waited for Yun Shuang Qing Ruiyang to come out. Hearing the coachman's "call", the two carriages set off slowly. There were few people left on the street, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded crisp and tight.

"Lady, if you frown again, you will be angry for your husband." Qing Ruiting had already touched Gu Liangyue's forehead several times, and seeing that she still looked uneasy, she said a little jokingly.

"No, I always felt that something was wrong." Gu Liangyue originally wanted to go with Yunshuang, but Qing Ruiting persuaded her to say something that was unreasonable, and in order to avoid suspicion, she just asked Cui Qi to send her a letter, and she didn't know how much she understood.

"I always thought something was going to happen today." Gu Liangyue couldn't say what it was, but the sense of shadow in her heart lingered. Her heart was beating fast, and there was a heavy uneasiness and apprehension in her eyes.

Qing Ruiting hugged her in his arms, gently stroked her soft hair, comforted her twice, and then changed the conversation and said: "No matter what happens today, you will follow me, no matter what happens, don't be afraid, just follow me, I will protect you."

"It's the same as the truth, if something really happens, this concubine will definitely use you as a backing, you don't have to worry about this." Gu Liangyue glanced at him, and her tone was cold. As long as this person is insecure in front of her, he can't wait to crush her and pinch her tightly to his heart.

"Isn't this all, don't worry about your life, what else are you worried about?" Qing Ruiting often didn't understand Gu Liangyue at this time. For him, even if Gu Liangyue is full of mysteries, he is not afraid, take your time, just like raising a cat, she is already good if she doesn't show her paws to him.

Gu Liangyue didn't speak, nestled in his arms, grabbed his sleeve for a while, and just arrived at the gate of the imperial city when she was about to fall asleep.

Walking to the Qutai Palace, the chamberlain shouted sharply: "Princess Yong has arrived, Princess Han has arrived." The raised tail note was extremely uncomfortable in Gu Liangyue's ears, but because it was in the palace, she endured it.

Yunshuang walked ahead of them, and her performance was still remarkable. When Gu Liangyue saw her dress, she suddenly thought clearly about what she cared about, something she didn't have to care about at all.

Yunshuang is in court clothes, and she herself is also in court clothes, so there is nothing to say about this. But the shawl around her neck was embroidered with a small gold thread at the end. Although it was small, it couldn't stand Gu Liangyue's sharp eyes, and she saw it clearly.

She forgot that Yunshuang was Gu Lingge's most powerful assistant. Although Gu Lingge is not picky, she is busy with affairs and has many people to meet, so how can Yunshuang, who has been with her, not understand anything? Yunshuang may not be worse than herself, but she is suspicious. Sure enough, pregnant women just can't be trusted.

"The emperor has arrived." The chamberlain's voice was just as high-pitched, but short. It made everyone's hearts tremble. At this family banquet, the queen was not there, and neither was the queen mother.

As if knowing what everyone was thinking, Qing Ruifan sat down in his usual clothes, and after everyone sat down, his voice was calm: "Winter night is coming, Chinese New Year's Eve has arrived, on this festive season, call everyone to gather here, share a meal, and have fun together."

"Because it's a family banquet, everyone doesn't have to be restrained, just make it convenient for everyone." Qing Ruifan gave Lan Yi a look, Lan Yi understood, and said "Open the seat", and musicians and dancers came up in turn, and light songs and dances filled the entire hall, which was peaceful and beautiful.

There were only concubines and princesses present, and the news of the queen's illness had spread early, and Qing Ruifan thought that no one would ask about it again. But I still don't know the truth, and I want to verify it again.

"Brother Huang, why didn't you see the queen mother and the queen mother? What's wrong with them? "Qing Jingyao has been greasy and crooked with Chu Zhaonan in the princess's mansion for a long time, and she hasn't gone out much. She doesn't run to the palace every day, and with her husband on her side, she is so beautiful, and she is closed during this time, so she patronizes Chu Zhaonan.

"Well...... "Qing Ruifan told everyone, but he forgot about this emperor. It's no wonder that he didn't remember that since she had Chu Zhaonan, she had been quiet all day as if it didn't exist at all.

"The Queen Mother is sick, and your sister-in-law has gone to serve the sick. The queen mother's body just improved, and she was not suitable for blowing, so she didn't come out, and your imperial sister-in-law also invited herself to accompany the queen mother, so she went with her. Qing Ruifan's ambiguous words persuaded Qing Jingyao, but made Yang Li'er feel uncomfortable.

Qing Jingyao herself is not from the Queen Mother, so asking is just to express that she has not forgotten the Queen Mother. But in Yang Li'er's eyes, she just wanted to smash the cup and turn around and leave.

"Imperial sister-in-law", such a title, in the entire harem, belongs to only one person - the queen. And Qing Ruifan said two "your imperial sister-in-law" in one sentence, Qing Ruifan is like this, he is standing up for Gu Lingge, and he is also clearly warning them that these concubines should not think about crossing Gu Lingge in their lives.

"Concubine Wan is not feeling well?" Just when she was out of her mind, a voice came from above her head, she looked up and looked into Qing Ruifan's bent eyes, the satisfaction and pride in them did not belong to her at all, she opened her mouth, and finally just shook her head to say that she was okay.

Yang Li'er deserved a meal, but she couldn't show anything, her face stiffened with a smile, and finally the banquet ended, and she returned to the palace with a stomach full of resentment and viciousness.

"Go, call Concubine Chen to the palace, the palace has something to say." Her eyes were vicious and her words were prickly, and she saw Lianyue's heart drumming, and her heart became more and more uneasy, and at the same time, she was firm in her desire to ask grace to leave.
