Volume 1: Swan Goose Chapter 318 March 3rd Beauty Walk (2)
Emperor Yu untied his fox fur and put it on her body. He took her hand and said softly: "Yan'er, how many surprises are you waiting for me? I am very happy today, so I want to reward you.
I’ll make you my concubine!”
Han Yan was overjoyed and immediately bowed down Ying Ying and said in a low voice, "I would like to express my gratitude to the Emperor for His grace!"
Everyone present was shocked: Such honor and favor have never happened since Concubine Ying!
The queen sat in the Shuixin Palace, calmly watching this harmonious show of music and instruments, while her hands in her long sleeves were secretly squeezing.
When she heard the word "Yan'er", her heart trembled.
She stared at Han Yan, her heart filled with resentment:
Yan'er, Yan'er!
There once was a woman in the palace who was called "Yan'er" by the emperor.
She later betrayed the emperor and gave birth to an unfaithful son.
She originally thought that the emperor hated that woman deeply. Unexpectedly, the emperor never forgot her!
The queen hates her!
There are so many living people in the harem, and I can't compare with them.
She can't even compare to a dead man who made a mistake and was beheaded!
At the end of the performance, the eldest prince was too drunk to stand up, but his red eyes were fixed on the two people who were gazing at each other by the pool, and his teeth were clenching.
I don't know if Han Yan did it intentionally or not, but she suddenly looked back and glanced at the eldest prince.
This look contained too many complex emotions, including regret and reluctance.
When the eldest prince saw Han Yan's glance, his hand suddenly shook, the wine glass fell to the ground, and the wine wet his robes.
Gu Sisi was startled and quickly took the handkerchief and wiped his clothes carefully.
But the eldest prince pushed her away and staggered away without saying a word.
The Shangsi Festival banquet was about to begin. Emperor Yu left the queen upstairs, took Yun Bin's hand and walked to Linxian Palace. The ministers also got up and walked to Linxian Palace in twos and threes.
The queen sat in silence for a long time, then she gathered her energy, stood up slowly, and followed her lonely.
Now, Emperor Yu has a new person by his side, and the eldest prince also has a princess by his side. She has become a real loner.
Liu Bingwen pushed aside the crowd and walked over quickly, followed her step by step, and softly comforted her: "My queen, please don't take it to heart! Be careful of being laughed at! Remember, no matter who the Holy One favors, you are the one who loves her.
The most noble queen of Beiyu!"
The queen raised her head and said proudly: "Father, you are too worried! The Yungui people are just humble brothel girls, do they deserve to be compared with me? What a joke!"
After saying that, she flicked her sleeves and left with dignity.
Looking at the queen's increasingly thin back, Liu Bingwen stood there and sighed with both distress and helplessness.
"Master Liu!" An old voice came from behind.
Liu Bingwen suddenly turned around and saw Gu Zhili looking at him with a smile on his face.
As soon as he saw him, Liu Bingwen felt angry for no reason: "Does Mr. Gu like it so much, hiding behind others and watching the fun?"
Gu Zhili smiled nonchalantly and said, "Master Liu, you are worrying too much. Now you and I are relatives. I just saw you looking bad, so I just came to say hello!"
Liu Bingwen didn't buy his proactive overtures.
"Hmph! Don't be so hypocritical in front of me, I won't let you do that! The former Concubine Ying is now the Imperial Concubine! Are you planning to send all the female members of your family to the palace, Mr. Gu?"
Gu Zhili laughed and did not hide the pride on his face: "Master Liu, you are so humble! Compared with you when it comes to sending women to the royal family, I am at a disadvantage! Our Queen Mother's surname is Liu, and the current Queen's surname is Liu.
You Liu family are really standing tall!"
Liu Bingwen was so angry that he frowned, pointed at his nose and cursed: "Gu Zhili, don't think that if you marry your daughter to the eldest prince, your daughter will definitely be the queen in the future! Be careful that you make the wrong calculation!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhili immediately scolded in a serious tone: "Master Liu, be careful what you say! This matter of national origin is a taboo of the emperor, and you cannot mention it casually."
As he spoke, he twirled his beard and looked at the sparkling and picturesque Jinming Pool in the distance, and sighed quietly: "Master Liu, please don't forget that Xie Ji'an died tragically in this pool, and because of that, he was demoted to a
Official Xia Yunqing!"
After saying that, he glanced at Liu Bingwen meaningfully, with a sarcastic smile on his lips, as if to remind him that he was chased and beaten by Xia Yunqing.
Liu Bingwen was so angry that his face turned blue and his gums were bitten so hard that he was speechless.
The two looked at each other for a long time, and he had no choice but to snort, flick his sleeves and leave angrily.
——Shangsi Festival to eliminate evil——
The warm sun shines on Shengjing City. Under the clear blue sky, the poplar trees that have sprouted buds are swaying with the spring breeze. From a distance, they look like dancing light smoke.
Early in the morning, Hu Qi came to Xiulou and woke Lu Ning up from his sleep.
Lu Ning, who was half asleep, propped up his chin, looked at Hu Qi, whose face was glowing red, and asked lazily: "You are so happy so early in the morning, what makes you so happy!"
Hu Qimei said with joy, "I heard from my brothers that today the most famous evil spirits exorcism in Shengjing will be held by the Fuxiang River. Let's go and see it!"
Lu Ning yawned lazily: "Going out to play? It's too early! Let me sleep a little longer!"
After that, she lay down on the bed again, ready to take a nap.
Hu Qi pulled her up from the bed and persuaded her with a smile: "Don't sleep, let's go out for a walk! If you miss this time, you won't know when you can see her again next time!"
Lu Ning was dragged out of bed by him, and after receiving some air-conditioning, he suddenly woke up a lot, and the sleepiness just now was swept away.
She stood there calmly and sighed helplessly: "Okay, you can go if you want! But you go out and wait for a while. I will wash up and then go out to find you!"
With that said, she pushed Hu Qi out of the door and closed the door behind her.
After washing up, Lu Ning and Hu Qi rode away from the village building.
When passing by the entrance of Xiaoxiang Villa, Hua Fangyi, who was going out to pour water, saw the two leaving chatting and laughing. They said hello and then left.
Yu Fengjin gets up very early every day. After getting up, she goes to the garden to sit quietly, drinking tea and reading a book.
In the faint fragrance, there was a sound of jingling rings, and Hua Fangyi walked over carrying a tray with breakfast.
Yu Fengjin just focused on reading the book without raising her head.
Hua Fangyi placed the tray on the table and chuckled: "The weather is very nice today. Would you like to go out for a walk, Your Highness?"
Yu Fengjin took a sip of tea and said leisurely: "Spring is here and the weather will get better and better, so why rush today!"
Hua Fangyi curled her lips and said sweetly: "Today there is a festival to cure evil spirits by the Fuxiang River, I heard it is very lively!"
Yu Fengjin looked at her with raised eyebrows and chuckled, "When did you become interested in this kind of thing?"
Hua Fangyi sighed quietly: "I have been worrying a lot lately and want to go out for a walk. Even if I don't participate, watching others have fun is still a pleasant thing. Moreover, I just saw that the Lu Gang Leader and the Crown Prince also went."
Seeing her looking forward to it, and thinking that she might meet Lu Ning by the river, Yu Fengjin put down her book and said softly: "Since you said so, let's go!"
Hua Fangyi immediately burst into laughter and said happily: "That's great! We haven't gone out together for a long time! I'm going to prepare the car right now!"
After taking only two steps, she suddenly looked back and asked hesitantly: "Your Highness, are you really not going to watch the Water Show today? Will the Emperor... blame you?"
Yu Fengjin stood up and smiled: "The emperor doesn't want me to be too active, nor does he want me to hide. So I won't go in the morning, but I will attend the dinner."
When Hua Fangyi heard what he said, she stopped trying to persuade him and immediately turned around and went out to prepare the car.
——Shangsi Festival to eliminate evil——
In the spring of March, it is the time when everything revives and spring flowers bloom.
Along the banks of the Fuxiang River, where willows and flowers bloom, many young girls with spring-like faces and more delicate faces than flowers gathered. They danced and sang songs, which made the men passing by stop and watch and cast their eyes secretly.
The people in the city supported the old and the young, went out with their families, and came to the riverside early.
Men, women, old and young will take off their shoes and socks, wash their faces and feet in the water to get rid of the filth on their bodies and seek health in the coming year.
On both sides of the river, there are also many pavilions of wealthy families, where they have their own singing and dancing banquets, so that the women can drink and have fun while bathing, so happy!
Occasionally, the female relatives would peek out from behind the barriers. When they saw the handsome young man, they would whisper to each other, laugh and play.
Lu Ning and Hu Qi rode to the riverside and were instantly affected by the joyous scene in front of them.
Lu Ning immediately dismounted, tied up the velvet horse, took off his shoes and socks and sat by the river, washed his hands in the clear water, and put his white jade-like feet in to soak.
She turned her head and waved to Hu Qi: "Xiao Qi, you are right, you are right to come out today!"
Hu Qi walked over with a smile, took off her shoes and socks and sat next to her. She smiled and said, "It's really refreshing to go for a walk!"
Lu Ning fiddled with the clear river water and said with a smile: "Since the emperor issued the imperial edict, your mood has become much better. You are going home soon, so you are happy to see everything!"
Hu Qi looked at his silhouette in the water and said with emotion: "Yes, it has been more than half a year since I left Annan. I must have changed everything at home when I returned..."
Lu Ning patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him: "Fortunately, everything has been preserved until the clouds cleared and the moon became clear. After your hard work, the emperor not only recognized your identity, but was also willing to uphold justice for you! This is great for you.
For me, this is the best result! Presumably the spirits of those who have passed away can also be comforted in heaven."
Hu Qimai looked at her and said softly: "Xiaolu, thank you for your companionship along the way. It has allowed me to persist until today. Thank you for being willing to send me back to Annan!"
Lu Ning felt a little embarrassed by his gaze. He immediately turned his head and asked with a smile: "What do you most want to do after you go back?"
Hu Qi looked at the scenery in the distance with bright eyes and said happily: "Of course I want to eat all the delicacies from my hometown and meet my relatives and friends. Also, I won't miss any festivals again!"
Lu Ning asked curiously: "Are the festivals in Annan the same as here?"
Hu Qi said with a smile: "Annan also has the Shangsi Festival, and it is much more lively than here! Because the evil we have there requires everyone to get naked and bathe in the river together!"
Lu Ning covered her mouth and exclaimed: "Do women also have to be naked?"
Hu Qi winked at her and laughed: "Men, women, old and young will get naked and go to the river to take a bath together!"
Lu Ning curled his lips and frowned: "It's so embarrassing! When I get to Annan, I won't go to participate in the exorcism."
Hu Qi chuckled and said, "That's just a custom! Even if men, women, old and young are all naked, no one will have any evil thoughts!"
Lu Ning stared at the men and women playing in the river with his bright eyes. He found it very interesting, so he stood up and said, "Come on, let's go to the water and play!"
Hu Qi smiled slightly, stood up, followed Lu Ning, and walked towards the middle of the river while dripping water.
Many young men and women gathered in the river. They were washing their hands and feet with the river water while laughing and playing with each other. Hu Qi and Lu Ning could only move slowly through the dense crowd.
