Chapter 215 Flower Festival
Seeing Xiao Yi's happy look, Su Jingyan said, "Dad, are you so happy? I have called me kissed me many times."
Xiao Yi said: "Of course I'm happy, but I'm calling me dad for the first time every year."
Su Jingyan looked at the sky outside and said, "Carry the wet nurse every year and wash it up. You can also wash it up as soon as possible, and it will be dawn in a short while."
Xiao Yi took Su Jingyan's hand and said, "Let's go wash up together."
Su Jingyan thought that this period of time had indeed made Xiao Yi feel wronged, so she did not refuse to join him in the pond behind the screen.
It took about half an hour to come out of the bath.
Su Jingyan had no strength at all. She wore a thin blanket and let Xiao Yi carry her to the bed where she had changed into bedding.
Xiao Yi printed a kiss on Su Jingyan's forehead and said reluctantly: "I'll go to the morning court first."
Su Jingyan saw Xiao Yi who was clingy and said, "It's getting late, you go quickly, I have to get up and go to Ningshou Palace to find my mother to discuss the matter of the Huachao Festival."
The Flower Festival on March 3rd is also known as the Hundred Flower Festival. On this day, unmarried girls will dress up as flower gods and go out to the street to serpent in the Flower God Temple for a week.
This Flower Festival is one of the most lively festivals in Luoyang City, but Su Jingyan hasn't seen it for many years.
A few years ago, when Xiao Ting was fighting outside, Su Jingyan was not good at going to such a grand event for unmarried women.
On March 3rd of the previous year, my mother called me to write poems and essays with Su Liu's friends Qu Shui Liushang, and was busy finding concubines for Xiao Yi, but never went to the Flower Festival.
Last year, the Huachao Festival was not organized in the court. March 3 is approaching, and the Huachao Festival is the first major event for women in Luoyang.
Xiao Yi said: "Can a palace banquet be held in the Huachao Festival?"
Seeing that the poor little emperor had only a few times left the palace, let alone the scene of the Flower Festival, Su Jingyan explained:
"This Flower Festival is a women's parade held by the court among the people.
Any girl who is not married at the age of thirteen to seventeen can go to the village chief to say that she wants to participate in the Flower Festival.
Then, the county government selected girls with good looks and good looks to enter the palace, and I decided which flower god they should dress as.
Generally, nearly a hundred kinds of flower gods will be selected, among which noble flower immortals such as peony, peony, lotus, plum blossoms, and crabapples will be selected by the daughters of the noble families.
The one who was chosen as the Peony Flower God is the King of Flowers. After parading, there must be many people who will marry and propose marriage in the future.
Flower Festival is a grand event that women are looking forward to. Even women who are not selected will watch the fun of watching the flower fairy on the street."
Xiao Yi said curiously: "They are all flowers, why do you have to distinguish between noble character? Ayan, have you ever played the flower god?"
Su Jing said, "I have been playing with it. I was only thirteen years old when I was playing it. You were only ten years old. At that time, the late emperor was still there. The late emperor also rewarded me with a golden peony, which was worshipped by my father.
In the Su family’s ancestral temple.”
Xiao Yi can no longer remember how Su Jingyan looked when he was ten years old. He might have never seen him before.
Xiao Yi said: "It's a pity that I couldn't see Ayan pretending to be a flower god at that time. I wonder if Ayan can pretend to be a Peony Fairy for me to see?"
Su Jingyan said: "I'm twenty and one of the things that the unmarried girls do at that time. What kind of flower fairy will make people laugh at at this age?"
Xiao Yi reached out and touched Su Jingyan's cheek, "What a joke, I think if there is a peony fairy in the world, it will never be as good as your face as Ayan."
Su Jingyan hurriedly said, "You are really careless. You dare to say such offensive words? Amitabha, don't blame the children for talking nonsense."
Xiao Yi smiled and said, "If the flower is really a god, it is Taoism. What does it have to do with Amitabha Buddha?"
Su Jingyan glanced at Xiao Yi and said, "Don't discuss the difference between Buddhism, Taoism and gods. It's too late for you to go to court."
Xiao Yi saw the sky outside and said, "I'm leaving."
After Xiao Yi left, Su Jingyan got up to wash and dress up and went to Ningshou Palace.
Seeing Su Jingyan so long ago, the Empress Dowager came over and said, "Ayan, why don't you take a break? You have to take good care of yourself when you come from Jiangnan."
Su Jing said, "Auntie, I'm here to trouble you. I'm going to have something to do. It's the first time I've held the Flower Festival after I entered the palace. It's really hard to choose the candidates for these Flower Fairies, and it's even more tiring than choosing a concubine for the little emperor at that time."
Although the flowers are all the same, it is ridiculous as Xiao Yi said that it is really good to distinguish between high and low flowers.
But in fact, people divide flowers into high and low levels, especially peony and peony, both are elegant and luxurious flowers, but people in the world want to say peony is under peony.
So it is better to pretend to be a peony person than to pretend to be a peony person. In the past, there were many things that happened to the two girls' family members in the family that had a family relationship.
The Queen Mother chuckled and said, "This is also true, especially the princess counties in the clan's relatives, which is even more troublesome when they argue. I want the Ai family to say that you only follow your own eyes, and my aunt believes in your eyes."
Su Jing said: "The war in Xiliang was endless. Last year, the battle with Xiao Ting lost a lot of soldiers. There were many families in this soldier, and many of them had sisters. I think this time, the Huachao Festival
They pretend to be flower gods.”
The Queen Mother arrived: "This is a good idea."
The empress dowager turned the Buddhist beads in her hand and said, "Ayan, did you say you want to have another baby a few days ago?"
Su Jingyan laughed and said with a slight smile: "Everyday is so well-behaved and cute. I want to give birth to another one. You know that I have no younger brothers and sisters since I was a child. I envy others who have younger brothers and sisters, so I think I will give birth to another one to give birth to another one to give birth to another one.
OK."
Su Jingyan continued: "But it would be fine if Your Majesty doesn't want to live."
The Empress Dowager held the Buddhist bead and said, "Ayan, Auntie is sincere in your favor, so the words are a little ugly. Don't mind if you can have another one, after all, you are not afraid of ten thousand..."
The empress dowager's words were tactful, and Su Jingyan also heard the implication of his aunt's words. His aunt only had Cousin Ling, a child.
After Cousin Ling passed away, his aunt's sky collapsed halfway.
In fact, my aunt is not old, she is always pampered, but her temples are gray.
Su Jingyan naturally would not mind the Queen Mother saying despairing words, and she said, "Aunt, I understand what you mean."
The Empress Dowager said: "Yi'er saw that Concubine Wen had a difficult child. He didn't want you to have another child because he cared too much. Don't argue with him. Just think of a way to get pregnant, and you can rest for another two years.
They are still young every year.”
Su Jing said, "Yes."
...
At the end of February, He Lianqiao moved into a new house.
The house that Xiao Yi gave to He Lianqiao was next to the Su Mansion. It was previously the house of Princess Rongde's son, but the prince followed Xiao Ting's rebellion, and the house was taken back by the royal family.
It was just a reward for He Lianqiao. He just needed a little cleaning and changed the furniture and He Lianqiao could move in.
He Lianqiao brought the palace maids in the palace and called everyone in the Baixian Hall to live in the courtyard, and the courtyard suddenly became lively.
He Lianqiao held a small housewarming banquet, only invited Su Jingyan, Xiao Yi Niannian, He Zhimin, and the rest were all the people in Baishantang.
After the banquet, Su Liu pretended to be drunk and lay on the table and couldn't move.
Seeing Su Liu's face not blushing, Su Jingyan couldn't help but shake her head. Her nephew couldn't even pretend to be drunk and didn't know how to apply it with a little blush.
Xiao Yi hugged Nian Nian and said, "Ayan, it's getting late, let's go back to the palace."
Xiao Yi looked at Su Jingyan's expression as if he wanted to expose Su Liu.
Su Jingyan left the door and said to Xiao Yi: "Su Liu is too disgraceful to the Su family. She pretends to be drunk and stays in someone else's house. Having such a nephew is simply a humiliation of my family's lintel."
Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Su Liu also wants you to become your grandmother as soon as possible."
Su Jingyan: "..."
Inside the house.
He Lianqiao looked at Su Liu, who was pretending to be drunk, and said, "Your home is right next to you. If you still pretend to be drunk, I will throw you over the wall."
Su Liu didn't dare to pretend to be drunk, so he pulled He Lianqiao in his arms and said, "Liangqiao, I seem to be poisoned again!"
He Lianqiao glanced at Su Liu and said, "It's not good for us to do this. What if we have a baby?"
Su Liu said: "I will be careful..."
He Lianqiao looked at Su Liu and said, "Go into the house."
After entering the house, Su Liu couldn't bear to hold He Lianqiao over the wooden door, but before he could do anything, Hu Wei's voice sounded outside the door.
