The next day is Shangyuan Festival.
The first Shangyuan Festival after Xinjun ascended the throne was even more lively than the new year.
In order to win the favor of the top, the officials at the bottom decorated the main streets of the imperial capital with new lanterns, which they had never seen in previous years, and attracted the attention of the folk children.
It costs a lot of money to do so, but the official said that there should be a new atmosphere for the new emperor to ascend the throne, and that it was worth spending more money. When this was spread to the palace, it was really a great pleasure.
"Since I have a heart, I'd like to see how beautiful the imperial palace is tonight."
Ning Chengzhi is full of enthusiasm, but he doesn't want to see the lanterns. What he wants to see is the love and respect of his subjects.
Duke Chi knew what he meant and did not dare to stop him. "Will your majesty go out to watch the lanterns in person tonight? People come and go on the streets of Shangyuan Festival. Do you want to block the streets and let your majesty enjoy the lights alone? "
Ning Chengzhi turned his mouth and said, "I'm going to go out of the palace and see my subjects. You've blocked the streets. What am I going to see? There's no need to block it. Even the news of my leaving the palace doesn't need to be disclosed. I want to pay a private visit
Father Chi frowned and his face turned bitter.
Weifu private interview is simple. If you encounter any danger when you go out of the palace, it's not the slaves who lose their heads?
Ning Chengzhi was never a master who would consider for his subordinates and slaves. This became more and more serious after he became emperor.
Duke Chi thought about the arrangement of going out of the palace at night, and then Ning Chengzhi said, "what's the fun of enjoying the lanterns by myself? In the evening, let's go to guhou's house and ask Yufu to go with me. "
Mr. Chi's face is stiff. Ning Chengzhi looks back at him, and he laughs awkwardly.
At first, he didn't think that there would be a woman in the world who didn't want to be a queen. When he went to Gu Hou's house to give Yu Fu a reward, he always flattered her with a smile.
Until the palace banquet on New Year's Eve, he confirmed that Yufu didn't have that idea, and Gu Houfu and a group of senior officials in the court strongly opposed Ning Chengzhi's decision to make Yufu. When he saw Yufu again, he couldn't laugh.
He said tentatively: "Your Majesty, the matter of the cabinet has not been fully agreed at present, and the matter of the post establishment is more sensitive. You go to find Princess Zhenjiang at this time Is it not so good? "
Ning Chengzhi gave him a glance, "what's wrong? Didn't you tell me that you wanted to cultivate feelings with Yu Fudo and that you couldn't be too tough and canonize her directly? "
Father Chi choked back and had nothing to answer.
Is this the time to cultivate feelings?
Ning Chengzhi snorted, "Yin Shuo is conceited and smart, but the government is in good order, but there is no good plan for canonization of Yufu."
Duke Chi opened his mouth. When he wanted to say something, he suddenly saw a man from the outer palace come in and tell him, "Your Majesty, Princess Li, please see you."
Ning Chengzhi had a headache when he heard two words from Li Fei, "what's she doing here? The size of the harem is not enough for her to make trouble. Must she come back to me? "
Li Fei is the side imperial concubine of the former second prince's mansion. Ning Chengzhi wants to stay away from her because she is old and doesn't want to embarrass her.
Chi Gong said: "Your Majesty's palace is empty. Apart from Li Fei, there are only a few concubines left. Princess Li has nothing to do. She often quarrels with those little concubines. She can't complain that her majesty is upset. "
Ning Chengzhi said, "well, who does she want me to deal with today? There are only a few people in the harem. She still beats chickens and scolds dogs all the time. The queen will be in charge of the palace one day. Is she still like this? "
The palace man raised his head in embarrassment. "My Lord, the empress Li didn't come to make trouble this time. She brought a food box and said that she had made a tonic for your majesty."
"She can make supplements?"
Ning Chengzhi thought of Princess Li's self-esteem, but he could not imagine her cooking in person. Once upon a time, in the second prince's palace, she did not touch yangchunshui. After entering the palace, she claimed to be the most respected woman in the harem, and even more refused to be self contemptuous.
How did you change your sex today?
He waved his hand at will, "it's just that Li Fei seldom goes to the next kitchen. Let her come in."
With a sigh of relief, the palace man immediately withdrew from the main hall to pass on Li Fei, for fear that Ning Chengzhi would change her mind a step later, and Li Fei would take it out on them again.
After a while, only to hear the ring sound, Princess Li came in from the outside of the hall in a gorgeous dress, followed by a palace maid with a food box.
"I have seen your majesty."
She is blessed, pomegranate like red dress Wei Wei fell on the side of the body, such as spring water was blown by the wind, ripples, twists and turns and delicate.
Ningchengzhi brow a Cu, "you have nothing to dress up so gorgeous, what to do?"
Li Fei looked up in amazement, and her charming smile disappeared. "Isn't it your Majesty's favorite that women dress up gorgeous and exquisite? Today is the Shangyuan Festival, so I dress up more gorgeous, so that I won't be compared with your majesty when enjoying the lamp at night. Why, your majesty, don't you like it today? "
Ning Chengzhi got up from the couch, walked down and looked around Li Fei. He was even more unhappy to see the hairpin ring on her head.
"Gorgeous and exquisite is good, but you don't see what time it is now. You forget what Princess Zhenjiang said at the palace banquet on New Year's Eve? It's only a few months since the death of the late emperor. Do you still have the late emperor in your eyes when you dress up like this? "Li imperial concubine ate a stuffy Kui, thought that if it was not for Ning Chengzhi's disrespect to the former Emperor, how dare she slack off? Now, the culprit came to question her.
Listen to Ning Chengzhi repeatedly mention Yu Fu, her heart is very sour, "Your Majesty just listen to the words of Zhenjiang princess, know that she is the adopted daughter of Gu Hou mansion, don't know, still think she is your Majesty's sister!"
Ning Chengzhi not only does not admit her mistake, but also dares to make a list of her own. She immediately stares at her eyes and moves forward to beat her. As soon as Princess Li shrinks her head, she immediately pleads guilty.
Ning Chengzhi took his hand back, "what do you know? Yufu is not my sister, but more important than my sister. She is the queen in the future. You are my concubine. I can't tolerate you talking about the queen. Do you understand me? "
"Understand, understand, concubine understand!"
Princess Li agreed, got up and muttered, "it's not the queen, your majesty is protecting her, even don't say. In the future, I will become a queen. Is there a place for concubines in the palace? "
Ning Chengzhi would like to tear her mouth, "you dare to talk about her again, I will put you in the cold palace, believe it or not?"
As soon as the corners of her mouth shriveled, two eyes with rouge immediately burst into tears and cried: "your majesty! I'm the one who followed you when you were the second prince. How can you be so cruel? "
Ning Chengzhi sat down on the couch, "OK, don't cry and howl. Come and sit down. I'll see what tonic you make."
Li imperial concubine immediately happy smile face open, "minister concubine knows your majesty is to frighten minister concubine!"
Then he took off his silk shoes and leaned on the couch, waiting for the maid of honor to take out the cup in the food box, and reached out to uncover the lid himself.
The aroma of pilose antler chicken soup wafted out. As soon as he looked up, Li Fei laughed vaguely.
"Cough."
He closed his mouth and coughed, "what do you drink this for in broad daylight?" As soon as he raised his eyes, Duke Chi and others lowered their heads and pretended to see nothing.
Li Fei pushed the cup towards him. "What's your majesty worried about? Just a little. It's going to be OK. "
Ning Chengzhi was suspicious. He took the spoon from Princess Li and put it in the cup. As expected, there were only three or four pieces of velvet antler.
He was finally relieved, "you have a heart."
No one knows that she put half a stick of velvet antler in the soup, but after the stew, she fished up the residue of velvet antler, leaving only three or four pieces in the soup.
She took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, this is the first Shangyuan Festival after your majesty ascended the throne. All the lanterns in the palace have been hung up. In the evening, I'll go down to the imperial garden to enjoy the lights and invite the moon to drink, OK
It turns out that this is why she cooks the stew herself today.
Ning Chengzhi drank chicken soup without raising his head. "I'm going to go out of the palace in the evening. It's said that the lanterns outside the palace are more beautiful this year. I'm going out of the palace to have a look."
Princess Li said happily, "good! I accompany your majesty to go out of the palace to enjoy the lamp. I have become a beautiful concubine since I entered the palace. I haven't been out of the palace yet! "
Ning Chengzhi put down the spoon and picked up the handkerchief. "You don't have to go. I'm going to go to Gu Hou's house to enjoy the lamp with Yu Fu. It's not convenient for you to go with me."
Yufu again!
The beautiful imperial concubine suddenly facial expression ugliness, "your majesty! This also got, you have a future queen don't want to minister concubine, Minister concubine but accompany you for many years of people! First come, then come, or my concubines first come
Ning Chengzhi took out his ears and winked at Duke Chi, "you have said that many times. I only made you my concubine because you have been around for a long time. What do you compare with Yu Fu? "
Before Li Fei came to him, she was also a lady of the official family. He said that she was worthless and immediately refused to let go. Duke Chi hurriedly came forward and said, "please come back, lady Li. Your majesty has drunk your soup and won your favor. There will be ministers to discuss business with your majesty soon. It is not convenient for your mother to be here. "
Then he waved to the bottom, and two palace people came up to ask Li Fei to go out. Li Fei was so angry that she broke the lid of the soup cup. "I saw the new man laughing, but I heard the old man crying, and I felt miserable!"
After that, he ran out with tears, leaving Ning Chengzhi and Chi Gonggong looking at each other.
Ning Chengzhi picked up the spoon again. "After she entered the palace, her temperament became more and more difficult. She was good at learning and grinding. Otherwise, when Yu enters the palace in the future, does she still have to look at her concubine's face? "
Duke Chi knows that he dislikes Li Fei, but he still cares about the love between husband and wife for many years, otherwise he won't drink the soup she stewed.
"Your Majesty said yes, but the slave thought that the princess Zhenjiang would not easily look at other people's faces. Don't you think that Princess Li can't lift the storm in front of Princess Chang? "
Ning Chengzhi thinks of Yufu's delicate and submissive appearance. He also thinks of her generous speech at the Mid Autumn Festival palace banquet last year. He thinks of her calm when she refused to be queen
When he was rejected, he still thought Yufu was lovely and beautiful.
"You're right. Yufu seems to be gentle and clever. In his heart, he has a natural noble spirit, which is inviolable. Sometimes I'm very strange. She's standing with Danyang, but she's more like Princess Di. "What's the matter with Princess Di? Yufu is not a legitimate princess to become a queen. Naturally, the identity of a queen is much more valuable than that of a legitimate princess.
He was happy to flatter, "that's right, your Majesty's eyes will not be bad. When I saw Princess Zhenjiang for the first time, I felt that it was very precious. I must be the mother of the world in the future. "
Ning Chengzhi glanced at him and drank the chicken soup in the cup. "What are you doing here? Why don't you go down and get ready to go out of the palace? "
……
The most important festival in Dongling is the Spring Festival, and the most lively one is indeed Shangyuan Festival.
There are too many sacrificial rituals and customs in the Spring Festival, and there are unwritten regulations among the people. Before the end of the new year, we must know all the important things, such as debts or grain storage. Therefore, most people are too busy to be busy with the Spring Festival.
Only one or two strings of firecrackers before the new year's Eve dinner were heard.
Shangyuan Festival is different.
People who have just got away from the reunion atmosphere of the Spring Festival are all at ease, and when the weather is getting warmer, they are most suitable to go to the streets to enjoy the lanterns and the night scenery.
However, such a lively and festive Festival still can not infect the dreary and solemn prime minister.
Yan Jichu changed his bright clothes, and the wound on his head was also changed into a gauze band with the same color as his clothes, which could not only cover the scar, but also look chic.
Out of her yard, she went straight to the east yard, where all the guards had evacuated.
Since Ning Chengzhi talked with Yin Shuo last time, Yin Shuo has been more tolerant of Princess Danyang's treatment. He no longer sends people to watch her and allows her to walk around the house.
Princess Danyang didn't seem to care about it, because she wanted to take care of Yin Shuo's injury, but she was still refused to come back.
"Danyang."
Yin Jichu went into the east courtyard. Seeing that the weather in the courtyard was much better than before, she went into the room to find Princess Danyang with a smile.
She sat at the window, looking out of her wits. She coughed, and then she regained her consciousness.
"It's you, Jill."
Two people hand in hand to talk inside, Yin Ji said: "the guard of the east courtyard has been removed, elder brother is not so defensive to you now. Why are you still so depressed? Today is the Shangyuan Festival. Why don't we go out to enjoy the lanterns in the evening? "
"Enjoy the light?"
Danyang Princess shook her head, thin face without a trace of joy, "I don't want to go. He is not on guard against me. He is just giving his majesty face. I want to take care of him because of his leg injury, but he won't let me near him
Yin Ji was stunned and looked at Princess Danyang's face carefully. Her eyes were filled with the meaning that she couldn't explain clearly, "Danyang, do you really like my elder brother? But I remember that before you got married, you despised him very much. After marriage, he did those things to treat you harshly. How could you... "
Princess Danyang's eyes dodged, and she didn't seem willing to admit what Yin Jihe said.
Yan Jichu pursued her closely, and she had no choice but to reply: "I don't know why I am. Before the big marriage, the person I like was brother Shubai. Even after the big marriage, I didn't change my mind about him. I don't know when I started talking to Yin Shuo... "
"Don't you hate him for being so cruel to you?"
Princess Danyang said with a smile, "I hate it. Of course I hate it. I hate him for taking revenge on me and for showing no pity for me That's because I want him to take care of me. "
Yin Jiyi finally understood that a woman would not easily hate anyone. If she really hated someone, it was often because of her love.
Where does not love come to hate?
She used to think that she and Gu Jiuge had a bad fate. They were close to each other with purpose. Unexpectedly, she was attracted by Gu Jiuge and got out of hand.
Now think about it, Princess Danyang to yinshuo is a section should not exist.
Both of them have their own belongings, but they are put together by the first emperor's engagement. They look down on each other, but they have to get married -
What's more, Princess Danyang has moved her feelings, and the balance between them begins to tilt, and the emotional one is destined to bear the grievance.
She was suddenly a little lucky, even if Gu Jiuge did not love her, at least he would not treat her like Yin Shuo did to Princess Danyang, even if she was disfigured, he did not despise her, but took more care of her.
She was lucky.
Princess Danyang couldn't help wiping the corners of her eyes. Seeing that Yin Jikua seemed to have dressed up today, she realized what she had said, "do you want to go out with Gu Jiuge?"
Yin Jichu's face was slightly red and nodded gently.
Princess Danyang took her hand and said, "if you want to go out with him and invite me together, if I promise, won't it ruin your good time?"
Yan Jichu explained quickly: "don't get me wrong, I sincerely invited you out. In fact, not only me and him, but also Yufu and Shizi, they are going out to enjoy the lamp together. I think you're familiar with everyone, so you can invite them. "
"My son?"
Princess Danyang was in a trance. She thought of seeing Gu Shubai for the first time when she was young.She shook her head gently. "No, if you go out and have a good time, I won't go. Tonight is Shangyuan Festival. Even if your elder brother doesn't want to see me, as the hostess of the prime minister's mansion, I should stay here. "
Yin Ji's nose was slightly sour.
The hostess of the prime minister's mansion
It's hard to be princess Danyang. She's willing to take this position.
