Chapter 234 Flower Festival Lantern Festival

In a few days it will be the Huachao Festival. During the daytime, people will enjoy the flowers, play and play, and at night there will be lively lantern festivals.

In order to create a festive atmosphere, the ladies in the palace will also hold a lantern show that night, inviting the wives and ladies into the palace to enjoy the lanterns.

So the palace prepared in advance.

All kinds of lanterns are beautifully made by the skillful hands of the court ladies.

Yilan had long been whispering in Wei Qing's ear, "Second Miss, I heard that the Lantern Festival is very beautiful. Hundreds of flowers are in full bloom, there are lion dancers on the street, and there are laughing ladies and handsome gentlemen. , I don’t know how lively it is!”

Wei Qing was busy with the things in his hands, took a moment to glance at her, and said, "It sounds like you have been there before."

Yilan leaned on the counter with her elbows, cupped her face in her hands, and looked longingly: "It's because I haven't been there that I want to take a look. I've heard other people tell me about it."

She blinked her eyes and leaned over, and said to Wei Qing: "Second miss, the servant has already checked, the imperial hospital that night is not the second lady's night duty. Anyway, there is a palace banquet in the palace that night, no one thinks of our imperial hospital, it must be It's deserted and desolate, why don't we go out of the palace to go to the Lantern Festival, we haven't been home for a long time."

Wei Qing was noncommittal.

Indeed, since the last time she moved things from Wei's house and returned home, she was worried that Jingyi would explode, so she never left the palace after entering the palace.

Speaking of which, last time I planned to invite Yin Jing to dinner as a thank you, but I never had the chance to honor it.They are busy with their own work these days, and they rarely even meet each other.

Wei Qing said: "Let's see the situation tonight."

Soon it was the day of the Huachao Festival, and in the evening, the wives were ordered to bring their young ladies into the palace to watch the Lantern Festival.

Princess Jingyi also attended the ceremony with Concubine Ming, so she had no time to go to the Imperial Hospital.

At first Concubine Ming sent someone to invite Wei Qing, but Wei Qing politely refused because it was inconvenient to wear the imperial medical uniform. Concubine Ming considered that if she appeared in the imperial medical uniform, it would inevitably cause related topics, so she did not force her.

After nightfall, almost all the ladies and wives have arrived, and the palace banquet in the palace is kicking off.

Wei Qing and Yi Lan stayed in the imperial hospital for a while, but nothing happened, so the master and servant went out of the palace in the dark.

As a result, as soon as he went out of the outer palace gate, he saw a carriage parked there.

Yi Lan said in surprise, "Ah Ying? Why are you here!"

Ah Ying was sitting on the rafters of the car waiting, when he saw the master and servant coming out of the palace, he hurriedly got out of the car to greet him, and said: "Today is the Flower Festival, I thought that the second lady might come home, so I will wait here first."

Wei Qing said: "The guards in this outer palace are also very strict, how can you pass?"

Ah Ying said: "The villain went to get a waist card, which proves that he is a servant of a court official, so he can pass freely."

As she spoke, Ah Ying showed her the waist badge.

Wei Qing asked: "Do you have to register for this?"

Ah Ying replied truthfully: "You don't need the second lady to go in person, Jin Yiwei asked the villain to pick it up."

Wei Qing nodded, returned the badge to him, and got into the carriage.

Ah Ying also said: "In the future, the villain will wait here for an hour when the second lady is on duty every day."

Treat soldiers patrolling Zhijie Street, as long as you show them their waist badges, they can pass unimpeded.

After entering the house, there was no time to delay, even dinner was useless, Wei Qing and Yi Lan went back to the room to change their clothes, and asked Ah Ying to send them out to the street again.

There is a distance from the downtown area here, so it may be too late to go after dinner.

The carriage was on the way, Wei Qing had a thought and asked Ah Ying to go to the Wei Factory first.

As a result, when Jin Yiwei from the guard factory saw her coming, before she had time to say anything, Jin Yiwei spoke first: "Second Miss, the chief supervisor is not here, he has a social event tonight."

Wei Qing: "..."

Jin Yiwei said in detail: "The market is noisy tonight, and the soldiers and horses from the five cities must be patrolled. Don't blame the second lady. The governor also has to watch."

Wei Qing thought about it, the post of city inspector censor was still vacant, and the five city soldiers and horse commanders were still in Yin Cong's hands for the time being, Yin Cong had to be responsible for it.

It's just that he's there when he's there, and he's not there when he's not. Why should she blame him?
Yilan had already spoken for her from the side: "Your words are not right, there is nothing to blame. A man should put his career first, not to mention that the governor has a heavy responsibility. Our second lady is reasonable and not a messy person. "

How does that sound weird?

Wei Qing twitched and said, "Ah Ying, get her into the carriage for me."

While being stuffed into the carriage, Yilan said: "Second Miss, did the servant say something wrong? The servant hasn't finished yet!"

Wei Qing turned a deaf ear to it, and when he got into the carriage, he said to Jin Yiwei: "You don't need to tell Dudu Yin that I have been here."

***
At the palace banquet hall, Jing Yi knew that Wei Qing would not appear tonight, but she still looked at the entrance of the hall from time to time.

The hall was very lively, but Jingyi was not interested, wondering if it would be too deserted for Wei Qing to be alone in the imperial hospital.

As a result, the palace banquet was only halfway through, and Jingyi excused herself to be unwell. Concubine Ming felt sorry for her and allowed her to go back to rest first.

After coming out of the hall, Jing Yi took the palace servants directly to the Imperial Hospital.

However, she did not see Wei Qing's figure.After calling the imperial physician who was on duty tonight, he found out that Wei Qing had left the palace as early as after the night was over.

According to the imperial physician, the medicine attendant next to Wei Qing has been talking about going out of the palace to watch the Lantern Festival for the past two days, presumably the two of them are already visiting the folk Lantern Festival right now.

Originally, Jingyi came to look for Wei Qing because she was worried that she would be lonely, but she never thought that she was so lonely, she had already left the palace to have fun!

Immediately, Jingyi's anger rose slowly, and she hurried all the way back to her bedroom, with the palace guards following closely behind her carefully.

As soon as she entered the gate of the bedroom, she turned her head and stared coldly at the palace people around her, and said, "Is the folk lantern festival really so beautiful?"

Palace man: "This... I don't even know..."

"It's not good, why did Wei Qing sneak out to see it!"

"Slaves... Slaves didn't say it wasn't good-looking..."

Jingyi flicked her sleeves and walked to the inner room of the bedroom, saying: "Since it looks good, then I will go and see how beautiful it is! Change clothes!"

There are many wives entering the palace tonight, and the palace gate is still very early before the key is released.

Jingyi is usually not restricted when she wants to leave the palace, but since she was robbed when she left the palace last time, she has never been out again.What's more, it's still night, if something happens, all the palace people will lose their heads.

But no one can persuade Jingyi to make a decision.

Some palace people were going to secretly go to the banquet hall to report to Concubine Ming Ming, but as soon as they walked out, Jing Yi said: "Anyone who dares to report to Concubine Ming and the Emperor will get out of this palace in the future."

In the end, the palace people couldn't dissuade her, so Jingyi changed her clothes, called a team of guards, got into a carriage and left the palace overnight.
