Chapter 32: Going to the Feast

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the spring feast.

The prince's carriage came out of the palace gate, accompanied not only by the attendants who were waiting for people by his side, but also by a few royal guards in iron armor, with awe-inspiring eyebrows.

He Qianwei in the car yawned, lifted the curtain to look at the surrounding scene, and retracted her gaze idly.

There is the power of the Son of Heaven near the palace gate, even if some people have the courage to put their own stalls here, they don't dare to shout as hard as in other places.

After all, most of the people who can pass through this palace gate, which symbolizes the supreme imperial power, have official positions or are from families, even if they are not prominent, they can easily crush ordinary people.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that prices were higher and business was still good, probably no one would want to take the risk of setting up a stall here.

He Qianwei has been in the capital for almost ten years, far longer than Wancheng at the beginning, but she still doesn't like the atmosphere near the palace gate.

If it's in the palace, forget it, but outside, it's still so lifeless, and it doesn't match her temperament at all.

He Qianwei is a card that does not follow common sense: other noble ladies have learned the etiquette of the head cantilever beam and stabbed the strands, but she only learns a fur, and if she can fool the past, she turns her head and goes into the study; Miss Boudoir does not go out of the door, only participates in various banquets every day to make a name for herself, she is not enough in the palace, and even follows Xiao Zaiyang out of the palace to wander around - of course, when she first arrived in the capital, she couldn't do anything that was not interesting because of her depression, and she didn't count.

Compared with the dull atmosphere in front of her, she really still prefers the crowds in the downtown area.

Xiao Zaiyang Fengyun sat in his place without being peaceful, and when he saw her turning her head sullenly, he smiled and said: "It's not usually like this, probably a few royal forest soldiers outside scared them." ”

The people who dare to do business outside the palace either have a few backstages or are bold, and after years of cultivation, they are naturally not so restrained, and they can even occasionally talk to guests.

It's a pity that the Imperial Forest Army, as the guard of the Son of Heaven, has always been worried even by high-ranking officials, let alone these powerless people.

He Qianwei, who had already taken advantage of Xiao Zaiyang's style to enter and exit the palace gate like no one, sighed: "This is also true." She sighed with emotion, and then mentioned the few royal forest soldiers who were forcibly stuffed by the emperor when they were about to go out: "What does Your Majesty think, where someone goes to the banquet with him...... Ay. ”

Xiao Zaiyang doesn't know why, but after so many years of fighting wits and courage with the emperor, he has also summed up a set of strategies to deal with the emperor's inexplicable move: leave it alone.

Anyway, it won't cause damage to yourself, so go with the other party.

He smiled and leaned back on the carriage leisurely: "The spring banquet is held in the courtyard on the outskirts of Yunwang Mansion, not to mention that it will take half an hour, if you are sleepy, take a nap now." ”

When He Qianwei, who had been holding on to her spirits, heard this, she immediately relaxed her body without hesitation, and lazily collapsed on the seat big enough for her to lie down, as if Xiao Zaiyang on the other side did not exist.

She even skillfully pulled out a pillow from the dark compartment in the car, and adjusted her posture behind her head for a while, so that she could lie more comfortably.

After rubbing Xiao Zaiyang's car for so many years, He Qianwei is too familiar with the prince's frame that others can not reach, and she didn't know how far away the courtyard where the spring banquet was held from the capital, so He Qianwei didn't dare to be lazy, but now with this sentence, her actions can be called smooth, and she doesn't even need to be reminded by others.

Xiao Zaiyang smiled when he saw it, and also took out another pillow from the dark compartment beside him and stuffed it into He Qianwei's arms.

After many years of getting along, he is still clear about the habit that this girl must hold something to sleep comfortably when she sleeps.

After all, even when he was sleepy and confused during class, and he was sleeping dimly under Taifu's nose, He Qianwei remembered to pull Xiao Zaiyang's right hand from his side and hold it.

Xiao Zaiyang, who was inexplicably used as a pillow and couldn't continue to write, was full of question marks when his head was grabbed again, but he still used his eyes to stop the Taifu who was trying to wake people up and punish him, and he didn't take notes in the whole class, and he didn't move his posture, so he was afraid that it would affect people's sleep.

Once born and twice matured, Xiao Zaiyang's action of adding a pillow to He Qianwei now is purely a habit - when she grew up, He Qianwei never did this even if she dozed off, but Xiao Zaiyang has developed the habit of finding her something to hold.

Men and women need to avoid suspicion, and there is no need for lifeless dead things.

He Qianwei naturally caught the pillow with a look of satisfaction: "I'm so sleepy that I can't walk...... It's all about willpower. ”

Xiao Zaiyang felt that she looked like a lazy cat now.

Arjun bathed in the sun, wagging her tail slowly, squinting her eyes to enjoy the demeanor of human hair, and the current He Qianwei is almost like carved out of a mold.

The fingertips subconsciously rubbed it, and Xiao Zaiyang restrained the urge to reach out: "I read the script again last night?" Or is it the book "A Journey to the Garden"? ”

"The sky can be seen from the sun and the moon, I went to bed early last night, and I haven't even touched the script." He Qianwei replied in a daze, "As a result, in the early hours of this morning, Mama dragged me up from the bed, and together with Ruolan and Qiu Ying, she circled around me, tried on I don't know how many sets of clothes, changed my makeup several times, and even took off my jewelry over and over again." ”

Feijing's identity is special, although he entered the palace as a maid, but he was found by the emperor to arrange other tasks, although he still lives in the Yaoguang Palace, he goes out early and returns late every day, so he naturally has no chance to serve left and right.

Although He Qianwei missed it in her heart, she knew where Feijing's intention was, so she naturally wouldn't stop it.

Her voice became lower and lower, but in the end, she still remembered that she was talking to Xiao Zaiyang, and she insisted on finishing the cause and effect.

“…… They seemed to be worried that I wasn't beautiful enough to wow everyone as soon as I appeared. ”

When Xiao Zaiyang heard this, he took a serious and careful look at He Qianwei.

The two grew up together, and Xiao Zaiyang is also used to seeing her appearance, so he naturally doesn't react much, but if he puts a little effort into it, he will still get the same evaluation as back then: peerless and independent.

Jiang Liuwan was the first beauty in the capital back then, He Xiuzhu was even more personable, with such a pair of parents, He Qianwei's appearance knew that it was not much worse - and even learned from each other's strengths, which was even better.

He resolutely affirmed: "There is no reason to worry about the sky. ”

"yes, I think too."

He Qianwei replied confidently, and as if the conversation was to the point, she covered her head and fell asleep.

When she regained consciousness, He Qianwei was completely ignorant, staring at Xiao Zaiyang, who woke herself up, and didn't speak for a long time.

“…… Is this awake or not? Xiao Zaiyang tentatively raised his hand and waved it in front of her, "I deliberately walked slowly for so long a day, even if I made up for sleep, I should have slept enough." ”

He Qian's dark eyes moved: "You can also treat it as nothing, and then let me continue to sleep." ”

"Less poverty." Xiao Zaiyang glanced at her, "I let the coachman walk alive for half an hour, and then stopped outside and waited for a long time, and then I should be sleepy." ”

"Huh?" He Qianwei was stunned for a moment, "You just let the prince's frame stop in front of the courtyard of Yunwang's Mansion, but people come but don't go in, why wait for me to sleep?" ”

"Or else?" Xiao Zaiyang asked rhetorically, "Before you finally opened your eyes this time, I called several times. ”

“…… I'm sorry, I dare next time. ”

He Qianwei humbly admitted her mistake.

She cautiously leaned to the window, lifted the curtain and peeked out.

Xiao Zaiyang didn't plan to block the prince's frame to prevent others from entering, so he deliberately asked Ji Xiu to ask someone to park the car on the side of the road, but others didn't dare to overstep it, so they simply stopped with it, and the scene was quite lively at first glance.

If only this excitement wasn't caused by itself.

He Qianwei quickly lowered the curtain and grabbed Xiao Zaiyang in front of her: "We are here to go to the banquet, to the banquet, you think you are here to smash the field if others don't know!" ”

"Princess Yun has sent someone." Compared with He Qianwei's emotional excitement, Xiao Zaiyang was calm and calm, and explained calmly, "She knows what's going on." As for those who followed......"

"It doesn't matter what they think."

Xiao Zaiyang's words are from the bottom of his heart, he really doesn't care about what other courtiers think, not to mention that most of those who are afraid of the power of the prince and don't dare to go in first are flatterers - other people who are clear in their hearts and are not afraid of shadows have already come here to say hello, and they have entered without any psychological burden.

The East Palace has always been benevolent and generous, and compared with the emperor, it makes the courtiers feel like a spring breeze, but as long as the eyes are bright, they know to come up and inquire.

And Ji Xiu doesn't know how to eat people, and he doesn't have any intention of pretending to be a tiger, so he naturally tells the truth about the facts.

“…… You're the crown prince, you're the biggest, you're right. ”

He Qianwei twitched the corners of her mouth, and then became nervous again: "What did you say to Princess Yun?" Can't just say I'm sleeping and can't get in, can you? ”

If this is to tell the truth, He Qianwei feels that there is no need to participate in the spring banquet, so it is better to go home directly.

"Let Ji Xiu find an excuse to concentrate on studying the chess game and be reluctant to leave for a while." Xiao Zaiyang replied casually, "Why do you care so much about Princess Yun?" ”

"How can I tell you, I don't care about Princess Yun, I mainly care about what those housewives think of me."

He Qianwei didn't know how to explain it for a while.

Paper can't hold the fire, if Princess Yun knows the truth of the matter, those officials and wives will be able to guess something from the clues sooner or later.

came to the banquet but fell asleep in the carriage, and let the host's family wait for him, as a possible future mother-in-law, it is strange that the other party can be satisfied with He Qianwei.

He Qianwei really has no interest in marrying, and she doesn't feel that she has to marry to be complete, but she doesn't want to be used by others as an after-dinner conversation, and uses this negative example to set off the well-behaved and sensible other ladies.

Eventually, she mumbled, "...... In short, that is, you don't want to be known by Taifu that you can't hand in your homework not because of the cold, but because you forgot about it carelessly, right, I'm probably in this mood. ”

Xiao Zaiyang actually didn't understand it too much, but this example weirdly made him feel a little empathetic.

He muttered, "It's okay, if anyone talks too much, he won't be able to say it anymore." ”

"Your Highness! Remember your character, His Royal Highness the Prince, who is as gentle as jade! Don't say such dangerous things! ”

“…… Isn't that a normal idea? ”

"It's too much for you, it's too much for me! Do you think I am you, have such an amazing identity! ”

"I said I would be partial to you." In this regard, Xiao Zaiyang just smiled, and then rubbed He Qianwei's head: "I think you have it, then you really have it." ”

As he spoke, he got up and lifted the curtain, and after jumping out of the car first, he turned around and stretched out his hand to He Qianwei, who was still in a daze: "Let's go." ”

He Qianwei let out a daze, held Xiao Zaiyang, used his whole person as a buffer, and jumped out of the carriage.
