The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 139 139. Celebrate together

Not long after the few people left, the sound of gun salutes rang outside Changchun Tower.

The whole street was filled with cheers from the crowd, and the Lantern Festival Night in Dongdu City had officially begun.

Feng Jinxu hugged Wen Shi in front of the window and asked in a low voice, "Is it cold?"

Wenshi shook his head, "It's not cold, sir, don't worry."

She had never seen such a scene before. Maybe it was the warmth of her husband's arms, or maybe it was the happiness of the people downstairs that infected her. When she looked up at the bright fireworks in the night sky, there were tears in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth and eyebrows were full of tears. laugh.

Zhengde Building is already decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the lights are dim and magnificent.

Lanterns are hung together in an orderly manner one after another, like giant colorful dragons climbing upstairs. There are countless paintings painted on the lanterns, most of which are stories of fairies and demons related to the Lantern Festival, or old news from the public.

The Moon Worship Pavilion, which is one floor higher than Zhengde Tower, is now filled with royal family members and ministers of the court. This is also the custom of the Jin Dynasty, and it is celebrated with the people on the Lantern Festival Night.

On the left and right sides of the Pavilion of Worshiping the Moon, singers and maidens from the Xuan Le Division were sitting, playing and singing the graceful and beautiful music of universal celebration.

In the middle, Emperor Qi sat high on the throne. His usually majestic face was much more relaxed today. Although he was wearing the emperor's court uniform, his brows were relaxed.

 Looking at the bright lights downstairs, I felt quite emotional.

 Since he ascended the throne, he has worked hard for more than ten years, and the Jin Dynasty has become such a peaceful country and the people, and he feels proud.

　　It looks particularly pleasing to everyone.

To the left and right are the Queen and Concubine Wei. One is wearing a red and gold Queen's court dress, which is graceful and luxurious, and the other is wearing a sapphire red Concubine's court dress, which is bright and moving.

Although the two factions were fighting fiercely secretly, they still pretended to be peaceful on the surface.

They both served wine to celebrate the arrival of the twelfth year of the Apocalypse, but the queen took the lead and said, "Today is the Lantern Festival. With a thin glass of wine, I congratulate my great Jin Dynasty on the prosperity of all generations, and wish your majesty longevity and happiness."

“Well done, the queen’s words deeply resonate with me. All the ministers raise their glasses and congratulate me on the long and prosperous Jin Dynasty!”

 “Congratulations!”

With the order given, everyone raised their glasses to celebrate, with smiles on their faces.

The Queen drank it all in one gulp, and Concubine Wei added, "Your Majesty, the Queen is the mother of all people in the world, and naturally she also cares about the world. My concubines are not as big-hearted as your Majesty. I only hope that Your Majesty will be in good health and that I can take care of my concubines." Just stay with me as much as possible."

“Okay, I like your wish too. I will just spend more time with you in the future.”

 “Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty.”

Concubine Wei raised her head to look at the Queen again. She still had a bright smile on her face, and she glanced at the Queen with a hidden smile, without making a sound.

　　One is a dignified and generous wife who has been married for many years, and the other is a concubine whom he loves deeply in his heart. She is charming and attached. Emperor Qi enjoys the blessings of these people, which makes many people envious.

 King Yu stared at Concubine Wei's neck for a long time, feeling lustful, but he also knew that it was not something he could do abruptly, so he could only focus on the wine cup in front of him, drinking one cup after another.

Prince Fu who was sitting next to him was not curious at all. His brother, Prince Yu, had always loved beautiful people and fine wine more than anything else. It would not hurt to indulge in a few cups of this secret nectar.

“Brother Yu Wang, this wine has a strong aftertaste, you’d better drink less.”

"Ahem, it doesn't matter if you're drunk. It's not you and me who control this situation. It doesn't matter whether you're drunk or not." After saying that, he turned his eyes to Mr. Kang in front of him and pretended to be drunk and said, "See, that's Uncle Wang whom Your Majesty relies on. We are just filling in."

With that said, the glass of wine was drained in one gulp.

The mentioned Prince Kang is sitting closest to Emperor Qi at the moment. He is Emperor Qi's uncle and the same mother as the late emperor. He has fulfilled his duties for many years and has never acted beyond the rules. His descendants are also very loyal. They are not a threat.

 Hence, Emperor Qi always respected his uncle.

He picked up the golden cup on the table, poured a full cup, and said to Lord Kang, "Uncle Kang, you are the pinnacle of our Jin Dynasty. With you here, my heart is at peace. I will take this opportunity to... I wish you a long life and may you live more energetically."

After hearing this, Prince Kang immediately stood up with Princess Kang, the Crown Prince, and the Crown Princess behind him, and respectfully replied, "Your Majesty is so complimentary that the Jin Dynasty can be as prosperous as it is today thanks to your Majesty's hard work. With these four words, Dinghai Shenzhen, the prosperity of the Jin Dynasty depends on Your Majesty."

These words touched the heart of Emperor Qi. He raised his head and drank all the wine in the glass. Prince Kang and others also drank with him before he dared to sit down.

 On the other hand, among Emperor Qi’s peers, Princess Fulin was the most respected.

 Wearing a navy blue princess court dress, her well-maintained face shows no trace of age, and her hair is mixed with silver, but it doesn't look old, but adds a bit of kindness.

Looking at the lively scene downstairs with a smile, he suddenly heard Xiao Tingyi on his left coughing a few times, and immediately ordered, "Have someone bring a few more braziers over. Tingyi can't bear the cold, otherwise he will have to eat again later." Those are bitter pills.”

The attendants immediately went to carry the brazier, but Xiao Tingyi looked a little cold and said, "Sister Huang, there is no need for this."

 The alienated attitude made Princess Changlin and her brothers and sisters a little dissatisfied.

Princess Pian Fulin became more and more worried as she watched, "This tonic is delivered to your house like running water all day long. Why do you still cough like this? Didn't the loquat jade dew last time help?"

Princess Fulin bought Loquat Jade Dew at a high price from a doctor in southwest China. She immediately sent it to Prince Ding's palace, but for some reason it didn't work.

Picked up the warm water at hand and took a sip, Xiao Tingyi did not say anything. Although he was quite moved when he heard Princess Fulin's sincere concern, his face still looked cold and aloof.

It is not a good thing to have something to do with Prince Ding's Mansion.

Emperor Qi's eyes quickly noticed this side, and he saw the palace servants bringing a brazier over, and the rich aroma of wine added a bit of warmth.

“But Seventeenth Brother is feeling unwell again?”

His caring look made him look at her without saying a word about Tianjia's kindness. Unfortunately, Xiao Tingyi could not catch his eye.

　　"Brother, there is no need to worry about it. My brother is really feeling unwell and wants to leave first."

"Okay, it's cool at night, be careful when you go back." After saying this, he ordered the deputy general of the imperial army, "Mengda, send King Ding Haosheng back to the mansion, and don't make any mistakes on the way."

"yes."

General Meng was Emperor Qi's confidant. He had been eyeing Ding Wang's army for many years. His eyes were fixed on Xiao Tingyi, as motionless as a hungry wolf staring at its prey.

“Prince Ding, please!”

Yang Zhao helped him stand up, and Mengda followed behind. After seeing him leave the table, the worry in Princess Fulin's eyes became more and more obvious.
