I saw Xiu Lei slowly walk in, and after seeing the expressions of Xigong Jue and Ye Anran, he smiled maliciously: "Hehe, master, have your subordinates delayed your good deeds?" ”

"What do you say?" Xigong Jue asked angrily.

"My subordinates don't want to, but the emperor just sent someone to pass on the message." Xiu Lei said helplessly.

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and preach the word." Xigong Jue was a little impatient.

"Yes, the emperor sent someone to send an edict that tomorrow night the Golden Dragon Hall of the palace will set up a lantern wine banquet and invite the lord and the princess to the banquet on time." Xiu Lei didn't dare to sell Guanzi, and said truthfully.

Xigong Jue frowned: "Is it so fast?" Lantern Festival again? ”

"Lantern Festival? The concubine seems to be ...... Unheard. Ye Anran was stunned, why was it that she had never heard of such a festival since she was a child?

"It's normal that you don't know this, but it's strange to know it." Nishinomiya Jue smiled.

"Why did the prince say this?" Ye Anran raised his head and asked.

"This festival was set by the ancestors of our Xigong family, and the people did not participate, it was our royal family's own festival." Nishinomiya Jue explained word by word.

Ye Anran nodded thoughtfully: "No wonder, so that's the case, then...... Are we going tomorrow night? ”

"Do you want to deceive you?" Nishinomiya Jue said with a smile.

"No, I just feel a little tired from attending some banquets like this lately." Indeed, Ye Anran is not a smooth person, she doesn't know how to participate in such banquets and gatherings, let alone how to get along with others, she only knows how to treat others with kindness.

When she was in Yangzhou before, she was like this, so the people in the house liked her as the second lady very much, but since she came to Bianjing, she found that this practice seemed to be useless, because the people here in Bianjing are too scheming, not necessarily that you are good to others, people are good to you, maybe, you are kind to people, and people will bite back in the end.

So every time Ye Anran participates in such an occasion, he is always afraid......

Xigong Jue took her hand and comforted: "It's okay, don't worry, isn't it me?" Tomorrow night, you just have to rest in my arms and watch the excitement. ”

"Well, that's for the best." Ye Anran smiled wisely.

Xigong Jue became more and more considerate, dispelling all Ye Anran's concerns, and now she suddenly felt that she was a little dependent on Xigong Jue, because he always handled his own affairs properly.

March 12 nights

The palace is extremely lively, the emperor and the concubines have already sat down, even the queen mother has come out to join in the fun, and Xigong Yue, who has been avoiding it, has also rarely come out, but Wang Guifei still lives alone in the palace and refuses to come forward.

And the people seated in the audience were Xigong Jue, Ye Anran, Xigong Lonely, Shu Bixuan, and Xigong Jin.

It looks like this is really a grand banquet for the royal family...... The princesses and princesses gathered one after another, and all of them brought their families, but Xigong Jin was alone, without the princess to accompany him, so he seemed extremely lonely.

Empress Dowager He sat upright, looked around, and asked dissatisfiedly, "Why didn't Wang Yu come again?" "Looking at the Queen Mother's expression, you can know some displeasure, it seems that the Queen Mother He still cares about today's Lantern Festival.

"Back to the Queen Mother, Wang Guifei said that she was not feeling well, so she would not come." A little eunuch whispered back.

"As far as she is concerned, how has she taken care of her face since she entered the palace, I don't know, I thought that there was no master in Qixia Palace." The Queen Mother's face was full of displeasure, and everyone did not dare to speak.

The emperor smiled and said, "Queen Mother, since Yu'er is not feeling well, don't call her here." ”

"No, it's okay usually, the New Year comes out, and the mourning family doesn't blame her, but today is the Lantern Festival, which is a festival handed down by the ancestors of our Xigong royal family, and a day for our royal family to reunite, isn't she a member of our Xigong family? Xiao Shunzi, you go to Qixia Palace and tell Wang Yu that if you don't come today, then tomorrow the mourning family will send her back to Luoyang Wang's house, and she is also an eyesore here, if you want to leave, there is no shortage of such eye-catching furnishings in the harem. The Queen Mother shouted angrily.

"Yes." The little eunuch fled with a smoke.

Everyone held their breath and didn't dare to speak, the Queen Mother was not easy to provoke...... Except for the emperor, I am afraid that no one dares to persuade.

Qixia Palace

"Guifei Niangniang, the Queen Mother told you, if Niangniang doesn't go to the Lantern Festival today, then ......?" The little eunuch didn't seem to dare to speak.

"So how?" A woman's weak voice came from within the curtain.

"Then tomorrow the Queen Mother will send her mother back to Luoyang." The little eunuch said tremblingly.

Wang Guifei leaned on the curtain and sneered: "It would be good if this was the case, I really want to go back to Luoyang, and Bianjing is nothing good." ”

"Master, don't be rash, sir...... If you knew, you would be angry. A little palace maid beside her whispered comfort.

"Okay, Xiaoxia, you don't need to say much, this palace understands that I, Wang Yu, was born a victim of the Wang family, and when our Wang family paid money and people, didn't we just want to show off our identity? Everyone in the world envies our Luoyang Wang family for having a noble concubine, but who knows my Wang Yu's bitter ......? If it weren't for my brother, I would have died. Wang Guifei's face was pale and she said word by word.

"Master, don't think nonsense, the last time the son left, he told the slave and maid to take good care of the master, and when the weather is warm, we will go to ask the emperor for instructions and return to the hometown to visit relatives, okay?" Xiaoxia is the maidservant girl brought by Wang Yu from Luoyang, and she can be regarded as a confidant, she knows that Wang Guifei misses her hometown very much, so she comforted.

"Returning to visit family? Am I qualified? Wang Guifei smiled bitterly.

"Why not? Since Ye Zhaoyi entered the palace, hasn't she returned to Yangzhou twice, you are a concubine who is one level higher than her, and the emperor will not embarrass the master. Xiaoxia slowly analyzed.

Who knows, Wang Guifei shook her head: "Xiaoxia, can't you see the situation clearly?" When Ye Zhaoyi entered the palace, the gimmick was very big, she was one of the two beauties in the south of the Yangtze River, and her sister was Princess Ruian, who was loved by thousands of people, and now she was pregnant with a dragon fetus, what did I Wang Yu compare with others? ”

"Master, don't think about it, the top priority at the moment, let's go to the light wine banquet first." Xiaoxia anxiously persuaded.

"Well, let's go, what should come will always come, and those who want to hide can't hide, if you don't go to the palace this time, I'm afraid the Queen Mother won't give up." Finally, under the coercion of the Queen Mother, Wang Yu still stepped on the threshold of Qixia Palace.

Golden Dragon Palace, Wang Guifei is late, she wears a golden crown of the golden concubine, wearing a peach-pink dress, very glamorous, but her cheeks are still a little pale, maybe because she has not seen the light of day all year round.

"Concubine Wang Yu...... Say hello to the emperor, say hello to the queen mother, and say hello to the queen. "Wang Guifei bowed so much under the watchful eye of everyone.

Many people had surprised expressions, because many concubines had been in the palace for two years, but it was the first time they had seen Wang Guifei, the owner of this legendary Qixia Palace.

"Sister Wang, it's good to come, come and sit." The queen's words are still very good, and she seems to be very enthusiastic about Wang Yu.

"Yu'er, it's good to be here." The emperor nodded slightly, but he couldn't see the clues.
