Chapter 622: Lantern Festival
Gu Wanyin met Princess Jin, that is, Zhou Yufei once. It was Zhou Yufei who sent someone to pick him up in person. It's not convenient for her to go out of the house now, so she invited Gu Wanyin over.
Gu Wanyin saw that Zhou Yu's face was rosy, and her eyebrows were stretched, although she was a little worried, but in general, she still looked very good. I couldn't help but feel a little relieved at the moment, looked at Zhou Yushou and said with a smile: "It seems that King Jin treats you very well, and my mother and I can rest assured." Naturally, this was a joke in a low voice. After all, there are girls and mothers-in-law serving all around, which is not very good to hear.
A hint of blush flashed on Zhou Yushuang's face, but he nodded generously: "It's treating me very well."
Gu Wanyin pursed her lips and smiled, and then the two of them had some homely words. Zhou Yuxuan asked about Zhou Ruijing's injury, and sighed again: "Now the palace is also busy, and there are many things in the house, I didn't even have time to see my brother once, is it mine?"
"What are these words? A family is no better than outsiders, and there are more things you let people send, but they are more than anyone else. Gu Wanyin smiled and pursed her lips to comfort. The next princess did not mention Zhou Ruijing's injury.
At noon, I had lunch in the Jin Palace. King Jin was not in the house, and he only listened to Zhou Yufei's meaning at home at night.
After lunch, Zhou Yufei sent the girls away, and let the big girl next to him guard the door, and the two of them talked carefully about themselves.
Gu Wanyin thought that Zhou Yufei once wanted to make Honghui a side concubine to King Jin, and seeing that she and King Jin seemed to be very good now, she thought about it and persuaded: "Hongyuan's matter, otherwise forget it?"
Zhou Yufei shook his head slightly: "Let's wait and see." Now...... Quite a few timings. I also know that my sister-in-law is for my good, but I can't be the only one by the prince's side. More in the future. "Look at it like that, it's a firm meaning. So Gu Wanyin didn't go down. Zhou Yufei has a lot of filial sons now, and she can't persuade her much about some things, let alone more.
Then Zhou Yufei whispered: "On the fifteenth, there will be great changes in the palace. Sister-in-law get ready. ”
Gu Wanyin was stunned, Zhou Yufei's words were extremely light, almost whispering, thinking that it was because she didn't want people to hear it. For a moment, her heart felt like boiling water. Tumbling so badly - what is the so-called big change? Could it be that the Holy One will decree on this day to appoint a prince?
Thinking like this, Gu Wanyin glanced at Zhou Yufei. I believe that Zhou Yufei can also understand the meaning.
Zhou Yufei nodded implicitly, but added: "It's not just this."
That is, there are other things. There was no panic on Zhou Yushuang's face, and it was obvious that the matter of establishing the crown prince was harmless to King Jin. So...... That is;. King Jin is about to become the crown prince? If that's the case, then things will be easy. Once the King of Jin becomes the crown prince, the saint will die, and the King of Jin can also rightfully ascend the throne, instead of competing with the King of Qin.
It's just that King Qin can really let things develop so smoothly? Perhaps, what means did King Jin use to suppress King Qin?
Gu Wanyin thought about it for a while and didn't have a clue, but only felt a headache. Now is to stop thinking deeply. After a while, I saw that it was not too early, so I got up and said goodbye.
Zhou Yufei didn't stay long, and only sent it to the second gate. Before Gu Wanyin got into the car, she whispered: "Sister-in-law, be careful these days, and after going to the palace, you must be even more careful." When the time comes, I have people waiting for my sister-in-law at the gate of the palace. ”
Gu Wanyin nodded, and asked her to take good care of it, don't be too tired, thought about it and said, "When you are pregnant, it is not too late to add people to King Jin." It's good to occupy the position of the chief. Moreover, all human beings always have different feelings for their first child. If Zhou Yufei can give birth to King Jin's first child, the love between the two will naturally be even more unbreakable.
Zhou Yufei smiled and nodded: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I have an idea."
Gu Wanyin looked at Zhou Yufei's calm and calm appearance, and her heart gradually settled down, and said with a smile: "I also told you a word in vain." I got in the car. All the way back to the house, naturally I didn't mention it.
Sure enough, the Lantern Festival banquet was held as scheduled. It was only announced on the thirteenth day of the first month, which seemed a little hurried. Gu Wanyin pondered in her heart, she must have been a little hesitant, right? Otherwise, how could the news come out at this time?
Since you are going to enter the palace, you will naturally have more things to prepare. Dresses and jewelry, these are to be carefully prepared. However, Gu Wanyin received Zhou Yufei's advance notice, but she was not in a hurry.
On the night of the 14th, he scooped out the clothes and the jewelry to be worn on the second day, and put them away, so that he could save himself the trouble of the second day.
They got up early in the morning of the 15th, because they were going to enter the palace, so the two of them got up an hour earlier than usual. The kitchen sent the Lantern Festival over. Gu Wanyin and Zhou Ruijing ate each other.
After eating the Lantern Festival, the two of them are dressed neatly, and they are about to set off. Before going out, Gu Wanyin and Qiu Zhou Ruijing tidied up their clothes, and said in a low voice: "What is going to happen in the palace, does the prince know?"
nbsp; Zhou Ruijing nodded, showing a slight smile, looking quiet and peaceful, even with a sense of confidence, clenched her hand slightly, and replied in a low voice: "Don't be afraid." Then he led Gu Wanyin and walked outside. Naturally, the carriage was prepared in advance. Gu Wanyin noticed that today's carriage seemed to look sturdier than usual. Gu Wanyin's heart condensed slightly, and after thinking about it for a while, she understood why, she was a little nervous at the moment, but she tried her best to calm down on her face.
There are already many lanterns hanging on the streets, and there are many stalls selling lanterns. Those lanterns are different from the lanterns used in daily life, with a variety of patterns and colors, and even the materials are very different.
Gu Wanyin smiled and said to Zhou Ruijing: "It's nice to listen to the river lantern on this day." It's a pity that I've never seen it. I wonder if the prince has seen it?" The atmosphere in the carriage was a little silent, and people couldn't help but feel nervous, so she thought about finding something to say, so that she could disperse those thoughts.
Zhou Ruijing narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had been thinking about it for a while, and then nodded and said softly; "It's very beautiful. I've seen it a few times, and it's really wonderful. After a pause, he suddenly said, "After you come out of the palace, I'll take you to see it." There is a painting boat on the moat, so let's get one and enjoy the lanterns on the river. ”
Hearing this, Gu Wanyin's eyes lit up: "Really?" She has always wanted to see the river lanterns and see what the annual Lantern Festival Lantern Festival is like. I also want to see what the scene of "the willow tops on the moon, people about after dusk" written in the poem is. Listen, there is a temple fair on this day, and it is a crowd of people, and it is very lively.
She didn't want to go to the temple fair, and it was also very good to look at the river lanterns.
"When did I lie to you?" Zhou Ruijing also seemed to be infected by her, and smiled slightly, and the atmosphere in the car suddenly became warmer. Then Zhou Ruijing picked up some interesting anecdotes about the Lantern Festival in previous years, which made Gu Wanyin listen to it more and more fascinating, and she couldn't wait to turn it dark immediately. Then I can go to the river to see the lanterns.
All the way into the palace gate, the two naturally had to separate. Separated at the Shenwu Gate, the two went to the banquet separately under the leadership of the chamberlain. The female official who led Gu Wanyin looked a little familiar, and vaguely remembered that the Buddha had seen it by Duan Guifei's side. Thinking of Zhou Yufei's words, Gu Wanyin was slightly relieved.
The female official's attitude was also very respectful, Gu Wanyin secretly stuffed a silver ingot, and when she saw the female official accept it, she was even more relieved in her heart - at this time, she was willing to accept the money, and she was obviously willing to ask you to do something. If you don't accept it, then you need to think about it.
The female official accepted the money and whispered: "There are a lot of people in the palace today, and I will serve you the princess for a while, so you can only tell me if you have anything." But you also understand that our mother has a lot of things to do now, and it is inevitable that there will be an oversight, so please pay more attention to yourself. ”
Gu Wanyin's eyes flashed, and she understood in her heart that this was a female official reminding her, maybe there would be any "accidents" today, Duan Guifei had a lot of things, maybe she couldn't take care of her, she needed to take precautions herself.
At that moment, Gu Wanyin nodded hurriedly: "This is natural." Thanks for the mention. ”
Because of the New Year, all parts of the palace seem to be jubilant. And because it is the Lantern Festival, it is also hung with various lanterns to meet the scene. The lamps in the palace are made by special craftsmen, and they are naturally beautiful, all of them are exquisite and extraordinary, just like handicrafts.
But these beauties, I'm afraid few people don't have the time to appreciate them - the scene in the palace is so chaotic now, everyone is in a hurry, and they don't know what they are busy with.
This time, Duan Guifei did not pass everyone in her palace, but had already gone directly to Chonghua Palace. Chonghua Hall is a special place for drinking and feasting in the harem. Naturally, it is incomparably spacious. Naturally, this place is also dressed up early.
Duan Guifei was already sitting on the high seat in the center, dressed in vermilion clothes, with patterns embroidered with gold thread on it, Gu Wanyin looked carefully, and happened to see a phoenix with wings about to fly. Yes, Duan Guifei's grade is also phoenix. It's just that the phoenix tail can only have seven, not nine like the queen. The other concubines can't use the phoenix. Even the phoenix on the headdress also has strict grades, single-tailed, double-tailed, three-tailed, and five-tailed.
Princess Zhou Yufei of Jin sat at Duan Guifei's hand. Seeing Gu Wanyin come in, she smiled slightly and nodded her head as a greeting.
Gu Wanyin stepped forward and saluted. Duan Guifei asked her to sit down at Zhou Yushou's hand. That position is considered to be at the front, the more you are next to Duan Guifei's position, the more respectful she becomes, Duan Guifei's actions can be said to have given Gu Wanyin a lot of face. Gu Wanyin knew in her heart that there were no more than two reasons, one was because the Zhou family was Zhou Yufei's maiden family, and the other was because of the authority in the hands of the Zhou family.
After Gu Wanyin sat down, she glanced around secretly. I saw many familiar faces, but I didn't see Concubine Rong. Your support is my biggest motivation.
