Chapter 141 (1/2)
Beijing is full of New Year atmosphere. Red lanterns are hung in front of door-to-door. The couplets for celebrating the Spring Festival are pasted. The first couplet ”people's peace and prosperity are in the prime”, the second couplet ”good weather and good weather celebrate the Chinese New Year”, and the second couplet ”people's peace and prosperity are in the prime”. A double carriages with red paint covers passed through the street. Several children in red cotton padded jackets held firecrackers. After lighting them, they laughed and threw them under the wheels.
Before the firecrackers exploded, they were killed by a small stone flying in the distance.
Several children look at each other, look at me, I look at you, no one knows what's going on.
When Wei Luo and Zhao Xuan returned to the prince Jing's mansion, it was noon. The steward kept the mansion in good order. Even if there were no residents for more than a month, the house was still the same as when they left. The windows were clear and neat inside and outside. After lunch, Wei Luo took a bath in the clean room, changed into clean clothes, and then lay down on the bed and fell asleep. She was tired all the way. In order to catch up, she hardly had a rest. She was really tired, but she didn't complain much.
Zhao Xuan combs and cleans, looks at Wei Luo's sleeping face, leans over to kiss her forehead, turns around and goes to the study. He called Yang Hao and Wang Guanshi, inquired about the recent events in Shengjing City, dealt with some business affairs, looked up, and then looked at the sky outside. It was time to turn on the lights. It's time to go to the palace for a family dinner.
Zhao Xuan goes back to the house and wakes Wei Luo. ”Wake up, little guy.”
Wei Luo is sleepy. At this time, she doesn't remember at all. Reluctantly, she says ”Oh”. Her head is tucked into the quilt and she is coquettish like a baby cat. Zhao Yu was dumbfounded, and rarely saw her so pitiful, so he lifted the quilt on her head, leaned over her mouth and kissed her again. Wei Luo was so blocked up that he couldn't breathe. He pushed him away with his hands. He was fully conscious and asked angrily and helplessly, ”what are you doing?”
Zhao Xuan pinched her little face, only feeling that it was very smooth and tender. ”Some little thing is coquettish and refuses to get up. If I can't wake her up, I have to use this method. ”
Wei Luo slowly sat up, gathered his shoulder and long hair, and did not make fun of him: ”you go to call in the golden wisps and white haze.”
Just after Youshi, it's not too late to have a palace banquet. Wei Luo sat in front of the bronze mirror and combed his head. As soon as he woke up, he felt a little weak. Then he took cotton and threw a thin layer of pearl powder refined from jasmine flowers on his face. The spirit and complexion were much better. She went to the back of the screen to change her clothes. Just half an hour later, she turned around and saw Zhao Yu leaning against the mullion door, smiling around her arms.
Wei Luo came to him and asked uneasily, ”what are you laughing at?”
Zhao Xuan scraped her nose, and immediately led her hand out. ”My Lolo is more and more beautiful, I dare not see it.”
Wei Luo follows him, thinking that this man is really good at saying love words. Think about how serious he used to be when he didn't show his heart to himself. He played the river lamp with her and gave her the squirrel waist ornament. Now, it's good to expect him to be honest.
To the palace, all the way to the Taiye pool.
The family banquet is located in Shengxue building in the center of Taiye pool. Because it's a family banquet, there is no banquet for the ministers and nobles of the imperial court, only the emperor's heirs and his relatives. Wei Luo and Zhao Yu came to the Jiuqu bridge and saw the Shengxue building in the distance with bright lights and magnificence. Palace people and palace maids were busy shuttling around with melons and fruits and snacks. Some of them ran into each other head on and bowed in a proper manner: ”see your highness, Princess Jing.”
Walking into the Shengxue building, there are many people. In addition to the long princesses, there are also princesses and princesses, each with a happy face and splendid clothes. Maybe it's infected by the new year's atmosphere. I'm very happy to see it without the usual constraints. Some cheeky people have even begun to ask for red envelopes from several princesses. It's quite a common atmosphere in the family. Wei Luo subconsciously looked at it. Only princess Pingyang and Princess Anyang came to the banquet, but no princess Gaoyang. It's no surprise to think that Zhao Xuan's family has had such a thing. Her husband has just been beheaded and needs three years of filial piety. She can't take part in such an occasion.
Nine princes Zhao Chen and others saw the figures of Zhao Yan and Wei Luo. They were surprised and came over from the crowd: ”brother Huang, when did you come back from Tongzhou? I also bet with seven and eight that you will not come back, but I came here at the last moment. ” He turned around and immediately put away his smiley face when facing Wei Luo. He said politely, ”sister-in-law two.”
Wei Luo nodded with a smile: ”nine younger brothers.”
Among these princes, only the ninth Prince has the best relationship with Zhao Xuan and dares to joke with him. Some of the other princes were more or less afraid of Zhao Yu, so they only went forward to say hello, and did not dare to joke like Zhao Chen.
When Wei Luo came here, he prepared several red envelopes for the next few princes who didn't have a family. The unmarried princesses, Wei Luo also prepared gifts. Those little princes who were afraid to get close because of Zhao Xuan's majesty, saw Wei Luo's dimples and couldn't help but want to get close to her, so they crept up to get the red seal and smiled brightly: ”thank you, sister-in-law two!”
Wei Luo touched the head of the twelfth prince. He was only eight years old. He was red lipped and white toothed. He was pretty and cute. He smiled and showed two open-minded front teeth, which were funny and lovely. Wei Luo said, ”you're welcome. Let's play.”In this way, there will be more people like Wei Luo asking for red envelopes. It's not because of how special the red seal of Wei Luo is, but because the couple are really interesting. Usually they don't dare to tease Zhao Yu. Now that Wei Luo is present, it's different. This greatly satisfies their freshness. Besides, on the night of their wedding, Zhao Xuan mercilessly closed the door. They didn't even have a chance to make a scene in their wedding. Today, they let go of it.
After a while, the red envelopes prepared by Wei Luo were distributed completely.
The princes thanked Wei Luo and Zhao Xuan one by one. They laughed a lot. Zhao Yu rarely shows three points of geniality and says in a light voice: ”there is no need to be more polite.” Then he led Wei Luo to salute the two princesses, ”two aunts, three aunts.”
Princess Pingyang and Princess Anyang have both been met by Wei Luo. Now they are no strangers. Wei Luo has said a few words with the two people, and each of them has sent a red letter to Wei Luo. After that, Wei Luo saw several princesses and gave them gifts. Then Zhao Liuli stood behind the red lacquer relief pillars with cloud and dragon patterns and waved to her. Wei Luo found an excuse to get away and asked, ”why didn't you see you just now?”
