"Fellow Fujins, please rise." Ling Ruo said in a pleasant tone, her eyes searched among the crowd, and she saw the Fucha family, who was smiling at her. This lantern festival originally required the married women of officials above the fourth rank to participate.
But before that, Yinzhen had already said that he would grant Lingruo's parents permission to enter the palace.
Amidst the voices of gratitude, Ling Ruo was about to look away when she unexpectedly saw Nalan Meier next to Fucha. She had not seen her for many years. She was as charming and beautiful as ever, with almost no trace of time.
The eyes of each other missed each other. Compared to Ling Ruo's calmness, Nalan Meier was a little embarrassed and seemed to have not adapted to the change of roles. In the past, Ling Ruo saluted her, but now she saluted Ling Ruo. Ten years have passed.
, the sea can turn into a mulberry field, let alone the changes in the world.
Ling Ruo curled up the corners of her bright red lips and motioned to Fucha to sit at the same table with her. Yilan did not enter the palace with Fucha because she was still in confinement, and Li Yaoguang stayed at home to accompany her.
While their mother and daughter were talking, Guarjia, Wen Ruyan, Geng and others arrived one after another. Because of their good relationship with Ling Ruo, the three of them met Fucha, Hanyan and Hongzhou respectively with the courtesy of juniors.
Like Hongli, he also called his grandmother. The Hanyan model looked pretty and cute, and had a well-behaved and gentle temperament. The more Fucha looked at her, the more she liked her. She felt that it was the first time they had met, so she took off her hand.
The white jade bracelet was given to Han Yan as a meeting gift.
"Grandma, this gift is too precious. Han Yan can't accept it." Han Yan refused and did not dare to take it. She had grown up in the palace since she was a child and had seen many pearls and jade. She could see that the white jade bracelet in Fucha's hand was not worth much.
Philippines.
"You've already called me grandma, what can't you accept?" Mrs. Fucha insisted on giving it to her. Han Yan looked at Wen Ruyan in embarrassment. Seeing the latter nodding, she took the bracelet and said sweetly.
Thanks.
Hong Zhou pouted at the side and said dullly: "I also called my grandmother, why is it that only the second sister is given the greeting gift?"
After all, Geng and Ling Ruo are not as close as Wen Ruyan, who have been friends with each other for more than ten years. After hearing what Hong Zhou said, he hurriedly scolded: "You kid, how did my mother-in-law teach you? Is calling me grandma just a greeting?
?”
Her words made Hong Zhou even more unhappy. He lowered his head and kicked the toes of his boots. Seeing this, Ling Ruo hurriedly advised: "Hong Zhou is still young, sister, don't scold him. Besides, he didn't say anything wrong."
After saying that, he smiled at Mrs. Fucha and said, "Mother, it seems that you have to bring out another meeting gift, but do you want your daughter to pay it to you first?"
"My wife can handle it, so I won't bother you." Mrs. Fucha smiled and took out a pair of Liuyunbaifu jade pendants from her arms. They were composed of cloud patterns and bats. The cloud patterns were as desired and continuous.
Together with the bat, which means "blessings", it has a very good meaning.
This pair of jade pendants was given to the Fucha family by Ling Zhu before entering the palace. When they came here last time, they accidentally forgot to prepare a New Year gift for Hongli. After returning, they carefully selected a pair of jade pendants and prepared to give them to Hongli.
Thinking of the sudden commotion, I had to take apart a pair of jade pendants and gave them to Hongli and Hongzhou respectively. The two brothers didn't mind, and took them happily, and then sat back next to their respective mothers.
As time goes by, there are more and more people in the Qianqing Palace. Since they are all female relatives, the whole palace is filled with clouds and misty hair, and the fragrance is gentle.
"The Imperial Concubine has arrived!" Following the high-pitched voice of the eunuch, a graceful figure walked in among the jingle rings. With the appearance of this figure, all the women in the palace stood up, bowed and said respectfully: "
See the imperial concubine, the empress is a thousand years old!"
Nian smiled sweetly, raised her hand and said, "Everyone, sit down. Today is the Lantern Festival, and the lantern festival is very lively. You don't have to be so formal, just be more casual."
"Thank you, empress, for your kindness." That's what Nian said, but no one present dared to take it seriously. After they sat down, it became much quieter. Most of them didn't say a word, just sitting there watching their noses and minds.
Nian smiled happily, satisfied with the awe shown by these people towards her. When she was holding Lu Yi's hand and preparing to sit down, she glanced at Mo'er beside Ling Ruo from the corner of her eye, and her smile couldn't help but grow a little deeper.
Shortly after Nian sat down, three sounds of ceremonial robes were heard outside, and then an eunuch shouted in a louder voice than when Nian came in: "The emperor has arrived! The queen mother has arrived! The queen has arrived!"
Yinzhen and Nala walked slowly in from the Qianqing Palace while supporting Wuya. Along the way, whether it was the civil and military officials in the outer palace, the princes and nobles, or the concubines in the inner palace, and the married woman Fu Jin, all He knelt down with awe from the bottom of his heart.
"Your Majesty, come to your knees." Wu Yashi took Yinzhen's hand and sat down on the throne covered with brocade cushions. Perhaps because of the bright light, Ling Ruo felt that Wu Yashi's face was not very good and was a little yellow. .
Wu Yashi's voice was heard loudly, and everyone stood up after thanking him. Su Peisheng walked up to Yinzhen and said neatly, "The auspicious time has come. Please light the lamp, your Majesty."
The so-called lighting lantern is the central one of the Nine Lotus Lanterns. Although the main lanterns are different during the lantern festival in the palace every year, the central lantern must be lit by the emperor himself. The emperor prays to heaven when lighting the lantern. May the Chinese people enjoy peace and prosperity in the new year.
"I got it." Yinzhen nodded, stood up and walked out. The bright yellow dragon robe was embroidered with nine golden dragons with teeth and claws. When he moved, he seemed to be flying out of the clothes.
Outside, Sixi prepared a burning lamp pole in advance. The pole is made of pure copper. The pole is hollow and filled with lamp oil. After it is lit with fire, the lamp oil will continuously supply the burning flame until the lamp oil is exhausted. , the flame on the lamp pole will never go out.
Yinzhen took the burning lamp pole and walked up to the huge lotus lantern on the platform. He did not rush to light it, but looked around at the people below and said loudly: "Since I was enthroned as emperor at the order of the late emperor, I have always carried out the instructions of the late emperor. , worry about the worries of the world, rejoice in the happiness of the world, regard the world as the commonwealth, and ask myself that I will never forget it for a moment; I dare not compare with the late emperor, but I only hope that I can live up to the late emperor's trust and protect our great Qing Dynasty."
Yin? After listening to these words, he curled his lips and said: "It's really better to say it than to sing it. Obviously I have the most selfish intentions, but I say it as if I have no selfish intentions at all. It makes me sick to my stomach."
"I am the emperor, so naturally I can say whatever I want." Yinzhen was much calmer than him, but there was still a hint of hostility in his body.
"Emperor, huh, by him? I don't know how many conspiracies and tricks he used to get it." Yin? said angrily, and he was dissatisfied with Yinzhen sitting on the throne of emperor.
"No matter what, it's his ability." Yinsi, who had been holding his hands and saying nothing, suddenly said lightly, his eyes flashing under the silk-red light with a complexity that was difficult for others to understand.
