Qingchuan History

Chapter 642
On July [-]th of the eighth year of Jinghong, Jidu was sunny.

Gu Xinglang woke up in the morning light, stared at the top of the tent and went through today's regulations naturally, and then prepared all the situations he had calculated and prepared to take stock accordingly. After a few moments, his mind became clear and he wanted to call the inkstone.

Then he felt that the color of the top of the tent was wrong, there was no dragon pattern, and it was not the brocade white.

He woke up in the Turning the Waves Hall in the early mornings of many Tianchang Festivals, and today's memory chaos is entirely due to habit.Then he reflected that he had planned to go back to the Palace of Turning the Lanterns to rest last night, because it was convenient to get up early the next day to prepare, and the trips were less. It was Ruan Xueyin who refused to obey, and told him auspicious birthdays when he wanted to have a baby, so he kept him after a coquettish meal. In Zhexue Temple.

When she was young, she was so sleepy that her upper and lower eyelids were fighting.

But he held on, his head drooped and then propped up again.He felt distressed when he saw it, and it was time to lie to her twice, "Say it to sleep", Ruan Xueyin was not fooled, she listened drowsily and even missed it, and finally confirmed that it was correct, she hugged his face and kissed her deeply,
"Auspicious birthday, Gu Xinglang."

He turned his head and fell asleep with his arms still around his neck.

He grinned and touched his side, but couldn't touch it.Turning to look, there was no one, and there was no heat left on the mattress under his hands, as if he had been up for a long time.

"elder brother."

Then he heard her voice coming in through the crack of the tent, soft and delicate.Looking back, the gap widened, behind her bare hands was her face, white and transparent in the morning light, "Get up, don't miss the hour."

From rinsing her mouth with water and wiping her face to changing her clothes and tidying up her crown, Ruan Xueyin did all the work by herself.

Gu Xinglang smiled and let her play with her, she also smiled, but her eyes and eyebrows were focused, not allowing the slightest mistake.

Looking in front of the mirror, Lang Yan is unique.The exceptionally clear faces of the two of them in the morning were reflected in the mirror, and they laughed foolishly, most of them were foolish.

"I can't smile like that when I see the servants later." She said, "No, you can't smile like that when you leave the bedroom."

"I know." Gu Xinglang continued to smirk, pinching her face with the image in the mirror.

Ruan Xueyin also used the mirror to pinch him, both of them didn't turn their heads, watching each other play in the mirror, until Di Yan knocked on the door to remind them, Fang twisted into a ball and stopped laughing.

"Birthday is auspicious. Gu Xinglang's every day in the future will be a better day than today." Eyelashes entwined like fans, and she whispered Bai Bai as if telling some ancient spell.

"Today is good enough. I don't want to be greedy, but I hope that every year will be like this."

But look forward to the present.Ruan Xueyin thought it was right, and helped him straighten his wrinkled skirt, and pushed him out. "I'll cook a bowl of birthday noodles at noon and ask Yunxi to bring it over while it's still hot. Remember to eat it."

The sun shines in the imperial city.

Cangwu has more than 300 days a year, and the [-] days are sunny days. Jing Tingge has not spent the summer in the southern country for a long time. This time when he went to Qifang, he remembered this summer morning light as soft as tulle.

She opened her eyes and felt that she had not had such a good night's sleep in 22 years. She immediately realized that she should not have had a good night's sleep, and felt a little panicked, so she touched her stomach.

Haohaolong was there, and the baby who had been born for more than two months was so obedient this night.

The Shangguan banquet has been packed properly, and they are taking a final rest in front of the mirror.

Jing Tingge got out of bed and stood in front of the mirror, looking at his slightly swollen face, he thought it was funny, and when Shangguan Yan turned around, he smoothed the hair on his forehead for the first time.

In the morning, the ministers and workers came to congratulate and present gifts. They, the heads of aristocratic families without official positions, were the last in line, but they had to enter the palace gate before the prescribed time.As usual, the night banquet started from the time of You. As usual, only the royal relatives should be included. However, this year, the amnesty, the heads of the famous families in the capital, the Wen family in Luzhou, the Shangguan family in Luzhou, the Tan family in Yingcheng, Hezhou, Linjin, and Meizhou, etc. Will go to a banquet.

"With such people, the tables and desks are probably going to be placed outside the gate of the palace." Jing Ting sang.

"This year it will be set up in the Mingluan Palace. It's a big place, and it can fit in there."

Mingluan Hall is the place of the early dynasty, the highest place where the king and ministers of Daqi discussed politics. "I've been there, Mingsu is majestic, it's not suitable for a birthday party, it's suitable for tidying up people."

Shangguan Yan looked down at her, "It's also suitable for giving people opportunities, and it's also suitable for issuing future edicts. He acted too early and too fast. They are not strong enough, let alone motivated and opportunity. If they still have some love The heart of protecting the country will also be beaten by this, and will not be instigated by you. Similarly, he has planned and waited for two or three months in order to surrender without fighting, not to kill people, and not to cause civil strife."

Jing Tingge looked at him with a smile, "You think I can't think of this?"

"If I were you, I wouldn't go tonight."

"I'm your wife Ru, if I don't go, you don't have a female relative to accompany you. She is waiting for me too."

Shangguan Yan naturally knew who she was talking about, "You expect her to protect you. She may not be able to protect you."

"How do you know they'll hit me?"

The morning light walks in the house, and the very fine dust swirls like feathers. "What I said last night seems to be in vain."

There were footsteps approaching, and the two fell silent.Wen Ju's voice came quickly:
"Uncle and I are going to set off now. Do you want to go with us, Eldest Young Master?"

Shangguan Yan responded "OK", took a deep look at her, turned and left.

After half a stick of incense, Jing Tingge knocked on Wen Shu's door.

In midsummer, the days are long, and Shen Shi is still like noon.

Wen Shu was restless for half a day, not hearing any changes, let alone receiving bad news. Finally, when the time came, people from the posthouse came to invite them to the banquet.

All the female family members who set off from the posthouse were all dressed up. When she got on the carriage, she saw Jing Tingge again, and she could no longer look at her like a village woman.

But Jing Tingge is still like a village woman, with an ordinary face and more gaudy clothes than anyone else, and her belly that is about to give birth is even more bulky, and her steps are heavy when she is stepping on the pedals.

Horses and chariots drove up the road around the city.Because they were going to Mingluan Hall, they had to go through Zheng'an Gate. After half an hour, the female relatives got off the car at the corner of the palace on the west side and entered the palace in sequence.

The night banquet was not held in the Mingluan Hall.

outside the temple.

In front of the gate of the hall, at the head of the long steps, there are three tables on a small open space. The one in the middle is gilded with ebony wood, and the dragon pattern is engraved vividly;

There are dozens of white jade steps down, clean as new, and the fourth and fifth cases appear on the outside of the last step, facing each other from left to right.Then nearly a hundred long cases were lined up one after the other, extending endlessly towards Zheng'anmen in the huge open space.

Many of the female relatives are returning to the palace for the first time, except for Jing Tinge, they all return to Zheng'anmen for the first time.

Palace people please stop, everyone stopped in a hurry, dare not show their atmosphere; after a while, I saw the master or father of the family entering the table one after another, and there were palace maids in a row to lead them one by one.

The seats at the Shangguan Banquet were neither in front nor in the back, and the elders of the big clan who had nothing to do with each other were on the left and right.Jing Tingge went with the maidservant, sat down with difficulty, greeted the elders on both sides, and immediately took his master's arm, very clingy:

"usual?"

The voice is even lower, and from a distance it's just an intimate whisper, making many people think that this woman is not on the stage.

"En." The Shangguan banquet was rare and serious, sitting upright like a different person.

"You're nervous. I'm not going to die." Jing Tingge smiled lowly, looking around and listening to all directions.

"Stop talking nonsense."

After hearing the commotion, it was the clans who entered the table, and several princes and their families came last and sat at the front.

The sunlight started to soften, and the light gold turned thicker. After passing through the palace wall, it hit the flat ground between the large tables and desks, forming shadows one after another.

There was silence in the room, and it was so solemn. Finally, it was heard that the sage had arrived on the steps. The jade-white Gu Xinglang appeared on the high place with the emerald Ji Wanling and the lake-colored Ruan Xueyin, like a piece of distant sky carrying green mountains and long water.

Wu Yangyang's head rose, and the shout of long live reverberated in the palace gate.

Gu Xinglang said in peace, and said that Mrs. Pei was happy to grant the amnesty, and also said that everyone who came from afar to congratulate them has worked hard, so there is no need to be rigid, just have fun.

Music and dance followed, which seemed less magnificent and more delicate than in previous years.The dancers' clothes are not as gorgeous as before. Yellow, green, red and purple are covered with a layer of smoky colors, adding elegance.

Mrs. Yu has been touring the three cities since June to preside over women's classes, and she just returned the day before yesterday. Everyone is sure that this year's Tianlong Festival banquet is the work of Mrs. Pei.

As an officer outside and in charge of the back court, in terms of power, Ruan Xueyin has surpassed all the queens of this generation.

But there was no sign of power on her face.

With a long distance, it would be rash to draw conclusions like this.But compared to Ji Wan, Lingchun and Jingming, the lake-colored Ruan Xueyin is indeed like a misty deep pool.

Only those eyes are exceptionally clear, and the longer he steps, he looks for Shangguan Yan's face among the cups of people's heads.

It took a long time to see it, but it was the woman next to him who saw it first.Sitting up, you can see your belly bulging, and the dress is extremely fancy, which is exactly the color scheme that Jing Tingge has always hated.

Really here.

How dare you come.
