Chapter 43: The Chongyang Night Banquet
Royal Annex
The recent days have been unforgettable for Lin Wan'er, although the bad guy didn't dare to come over again, but she felt the long-lost maternal love.
"I've seen His Royal Highness the County Lord"
Because it was the Double Ninth Festival, Lin Wan'er got up early in the morning to come over to say goodbye to Li Yunrui, but she didn't want to be stopped by the palace maid at the door.
"What's wrong?"
"Back to the county lord, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is bathing and changing clothes."
After receiving a warning from the eldest princess's cronies and gentlemen, this palace maid did not dare to let her go.
"It's early in the morning, and my mother is taking a bath again?"
Obviously, Lin Wan'er is no longer surprised by Li Yunrui's behavior.
"Is it Wan'er, come in."
Li Yunrui's lazy call came from inside the house.
"I've seen my mother, today's Double Ninth Festival, Wan'er is here to wish her mother eternal youth and longevity."
Looking at Li Yunrui's radiant face, Lin Wan'er felt that the four words of eternal youth seemed to exist for people like her mother.
"Get up quickly, behind closed doors, just our mother and daughter, don't have so many vulgar manners."
Li Yunrui said reasonably, she looks a little human now, which is why Lin Wan'er dared to try to get close to her.
"Mother, today is the Double Ninth Festival, I want to go into the palace to say hello to the Queen Mother, do you want to go with me?"
"Okay, let's go together."
At night, the lights are dark, and Li Yunrui also wants to see his face during the day.

Inside the Royal Palace
In order to prepare for the celebration of the Double Ninth Festival, the palace maids and eunuchs all got up early in the morning and were busy with the tasks in their hands; Pots of golden chrysanthemums were moved out of the flower room one after another, and after a while, they were spread all over the square in front of Xingqing Palace.
The city is full of golden armor
The stage has been slowly set up, just waiting for all kinds of actors to appear.
East Palace
"If so, it's time to get up."
Li Chengqian, who was already dressed neatly, gently called Fan Ruoruo, who was still asleep.
"Ah, Your Highness, what time is it?"
"It's almost time."
"Ah, it's so late, I haven't gone to say hello to the Queen Mother and the Queen; Why didn't Your Highness call me earlier; It's all my own fault, I slept too late to death. ”
was ordered to sleep, can you sleep without dying?
"Okay, it's okay, you're in a special period, and lethargy is normal; I'll go with you later, and they won't be demanding. ”
Li Chengqian looks like a good husband of Qingguo.
The Queen Mother really wouldn't care about these mundane rites when Fan Ruoruo was pregnant, so Hanguang Palace's invitation to Ann was just a passing scene.
At noon, when the two were about to eat, Fan Jian arrived.
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince"
"Why does Uncle Yue have time today to come to my East Palace as a guest?"
The two are literally separate.
"Wechen came today to ask His Highness for a favor......"
"Uncle Yue, please say..."
If you don't come early or late, when you come to the door at this time, Li Chengqian is a little suspicious of Fan Jian's intention.
"Today is the Double Ninth Festival, the people in the house miss Ruoruo very much, Weichen is here to ask for a grace, and wants Ruoruo to return to the house for the holiday."
"This little thing, Uncle Yue spoke, how could Lone disagree?"
It turned out that he was afraid that his daughter would be in danger, and so on, this old boy wanted to transfer Qian Chunqiang away; No wonder he took it seriously and came to the door in person.
"Your Highness, there is still a family banquet in the palace at night, is it okay if I don't attend?"
If possible, Fan Ruoruo naturally wants to go home for the holidays; The family banquet in the palace is not so much a family banquet as a ceremony.
"It's okay, my father and grandmother have my own explanation for Ruoruo."
As Fan Jian wished, Li Chengqian asked Qian Chunqiang to accompany Fan Ruoruo back to his house, and even sent their father and daughter out with a smile, but the moment he turned around, his face instantly became gloomy.
Opinion 20
With my appearance, when I meet a passerby, his favorability will be higher than this.
The old thing didn't say a word of reminder to me, he wanted to watch me die.
Could it be that this product still has the mind of being Yang Jian; If that's the case, if you don't blame me for being cruel.
No wonder Li Chengqian is so suspicious, if Fan Ruo is pregnant, as long as Chen Pingping kills the other royal families and makes herself half dead, there is really room for manipulation in this matter.
………
Although she was named the crown prince's side concubine, she had only been in the East Palace for two days, and she let herself replace the crown princess to attend the grand occasion of the Chongyang family banquet, and Begonia Duoduo still felt a little surprised;
Could it be that he has feelings for me and really wants me to have a home in Qingguo?
After Li Chengqian's training again and again, Begonia Duoduo has lost herself a little, and now she is just a little woman who suffers from gains and losses.
"This is for you, there is a storm at the banquet tonight, I need your help."
Li Chengqian said after handing over a jade token to Begonia Duoduo.
"Heavenly Evil Order, what is this?"
"A gadget that I carved myself to amuse myself; You gave it to me at the right time for dinner today, you're smart and know what to do, right? ”
Li Chengqian replied to the question and smiled mysteriously.
…………
The long flow of Linzhang water, the glory of the fruit of the garden. Standing on the left and right, there are jade dragons and golden phoenixes. Even the two bridges are in the east and west, like shrimp salamanders in the sky. Overlooking the grandeur of the imperial capital, overlooking the floating clouds.
Li Chengqian had never seen Tongquetai, but he could be sure that the Longxingtai in front of him would not be inferior in the slightest; Since its completion three years ago, it has been the most magnificent building in Kyoto City.
It is said to be a celebration banquet, but the Chongyang family banquet has a long history, and Li Chengqian came to Longxing Hall according to the previous hours.
"I've seen my father and my mother"
The Queen Mother didn't like the excitement and didn't participate as usual; Although Concubine Shu and Ning Cairen are elders, they are not worthy of Li Chengqian's big gift.
"Hmph, I thought you weren't here either?"
Emperor Qing's face was ugly, and Long Xingtai was a little noisy.
"Hey, haven't the eldest brother and King Cheng arrived yet?"
Li Chengqian asked knowingly.
"Don't you know what they're doing?"
Emperor Qing was even more suspicious than Cao Thief, and he didn't believe that Li Chengqian would not know anything about it.
"Could it be that there is something delayed on the way here?"
Li Chengqian pretended to be puzzled, but as soon as his words fell, Gonggong Hou rushed in.
"It's not good for the saint, the eldest prince has come in from Yong'anmen with the border army......"
"Well, what a good son of mine; You asked him to go back to Beijing this time, just to see him come to Beijing with me, right? ”
Emperor Qing laughed angrily, pointed at Ning Cairen and asked.
"Saint, saint, King Cheng took the Jingying camp and killed from Yongding Gate......"
Before Ning Cairen could answer, another big eunuch came in and said.
"Rebels, these two rebels ......"
guessed that the two were going to play tricks, but Emperor Qing didn't expect them to play so big; Especially on the eldest prince's side, his rebellion was unexpected.
"You should reflect on yourself, why are they against you?"
is not more silent than Concubine Shu, Ning Cairen said unceremoniously, she is completely open.
"After all, this matter started because of me, and I asked my father for permission to persuade the two brothers to come back."
The emperor will not be wrong, and it is the fault of others to be wrong; It's time for Li Chengqian to stand up and top the cylinder.
"It's good that you know; Gong Dian, you accompany the crown prince to bring those two rebels to me. ”
There was a big quarrel with a woman like Ning Cairen, and Emperor Qing thought that he hadn't reached that level yet.
