Black Dragon's Wife: Myriad Spirits and White Phoenix

Chapter 115: Lantern Festival Lake Tour (1)
In just one night, Xuan Haiyue finally realized what it means to live like a year.When Feng Tingye passed out due to the prolonged pain, she could only carefully let him lean on her body and didn't even dare to touch him, and it continued like this until the next morning.

Director Feng and Fang Zheng pushed open the door the next day, and what they saw was a messy room. The princess was sitting on the bed, leaning against the wall beside the bed, and fell asleep with a tired face.In front of the concubine, the prince rested his head on the concubine's lap. Although he was a little restless, he could be seen falling asleep.

Looking at this scene, the two men, whose combined age was a hundred years old, couldn't help but sigh sadly, and the wind manager waved his hand and left the room with Fang Zheng.

The Lantern Festival is also known as the Shangyuan Festival. Every year on the fifteenth day of the first month of the lunar calendar, just after the Spring Festival, the Lantern Festival, one of the traditional festivals of the Han nationality in China, ushers in the Lantern Festival. The first month is the first month of the lunar calendar. The ancients called it "Xiao", Therefore, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is called the Lantern Festival.

boom! boom! boom!
Gorgeous fireworks bloom one after another in the sky, red, green, blue, yellow, colorful... The flowers of various colors are gorgeous and colorful, illuminating the dark night sky and making the festive atmosphere more intense.

And there are many small stalls on the street with all kinds of glutinous rice balls, and some people even put the stove and various raw materials for making glutinous rice balls in front of the stalls and sell them in front of people. Many people gathered at the stalls for buying glutinous rice balls, and the delicious smell of glutinous rice balls spread into people's noses.

This year's spring seems to have come very early. The snow began to melt at the end of December, and the river and lake water had already thawed at the beginning of the first month. It didn't take long for many boats to sail on the river.

At this time, on the Lianyi River, gorgeous painted boats are moving forward. Taking advantage of the festive celebrations, many high-ranking officials and aristocratic families come to swim on the painted boats to enjoy the beautiful night scenery and gorgeous fireworks.

Xuanyuan Hang and Empress Murong, Empress Murong and concubines of various palaces took a painting boat together on the upper reaches of the Lianyi River.Singing and dancing were performed in the hall, and a large group of people sat in it to enjoy the singing and dancing, tasting fine wine, eating glutinous rice balls, and laughing and laughing.

"Today is the Lantern Festival. All of you here are relatives of the Xuanyuan family. You don't have to feel restrained. You can drink as you please." Xuanyuan Hang was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe. .The face is handsome and impeccable, and the gestures of the hands and feet are full of imperial arrogance.

"Your Majesty, today is the Lantern Festival, and my concubines will offer a cup to the Emperor." Empress Murong wore a bright yellow phoenix robe with auspicious cloud patterns embroidered on the neckline and skirt with golden silk thread, and a phoenix about to fly was embroidered on the back of the robe.A pair of sharp and charming red phoenix eyes are smiling, and the phoenix luan in the center of the Lingyun bun has a bright pearl in its mouth, and a bundle of tassels under the pearl hangs down gently, making it look magnificent, charming and noble.

Holding the wine glass, Xuanyuan Hang said with a smile on his face: "The queen is my first wife, dignified and virtuous, and her mother respects the world. I should repay this glass of wine." After finishing speaking, Xuanyuan Hang drank the wine in one gulp.

"Thank you, my concubine, Your Majesty." The queen smiled and drank the wine in her hand.

"The emperor actually drank the queen's wine, and the emperor should also drink the wine of the concubine." The bright and gorgeous Concubine Yuwen stood up and raised a wine glass to toast the emperor.

Xuanyuanhang looked at Concubine Yuwen's expectant look, and then at the empress who was sitting aside with a light smile. He was quite thoughtful, but he still picked up the wine glass and smiled back to Concubine Yuwen's wine: "I will definitely drink the wine for my concubine." Can drink, do it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Imperial Concubine Yuwen smiled and drank the wine.

"Your Majesty, today is the Lantern Festival. These are glutinous rice balls specially made by the Imperial Dining Room. They are light in taste, fragrant and refreshing. I invite you to taste them." Eunuch Zhou, the eunuch who has served Xuanyuanhang for many years, brought a plate of glutinous rice balls and put them on Xuanyuanhang's. on the table.

Xuanyuanhang smiled and picked up the glutinous rice balls with chopsticks and took a bite. It was really refreshing and delicious. He looked at the empress dowager beside him with a smile and said, "Mother, the glutinous rice balls made by the Imperial Dining Room are very good, you should try it too."

"Okay." Empress Dowager Murong smiled lovingly, took a sip of the glutinous rice balls, then stood up and looked at Xuanyuanhang with a smile and said, "Emperor, it's rare for the Ai family to accompany the emperor to visit the Lianyi River and Lake, but there is an old man named Ai family here. All the concubines are uncomfortable, Ai's family should go back to the room first."

"My mother has been feeling unwell since the beginning of spring this year, so go back to the room first. It is not easy to accompany my son out of the palace to swim in the lake today during the Lantern Festival. Mother, please rest in peace."

Empress Dowager Murong stood up with a smile, looked at the crowd and said, "The Ai family is getting old, so I will leave first if I don't disturb you young people having fun."

"Farewell to the Empress Dowager." Everyone got up and saluted.

"The emperor is so kind today that he is willing to take the concubines out of the palace to visit the lake. The concubines are very grateful. Today, all the concubines in the palace are gathered together, and it is a festive season. Why don't you let the concubines perform their talents to cheer for the emperor? Your majesty, what do you say?" How are you?" Zheng Zhaoyi got up and looked at Xuanyuanhang and said.

"What Zheng Zhaoyi said is very true, why don't you show your talents to everyone." Xuanyuanhang said.

Zheng Zhaoyi smiled lightly, and said modestly: "The emperor's wife has promoted the concubine. All the sisters here are worse than the concubine. How dare the concubine show off the limelight. Everyone knows that the concubine's dancing skills are outstanding and the best in the world. Why don't you ask the concubine to dance for the emperor?" How about a dance?"

Concubine Yuwen smiled and said: "Sister Zhaoyi really thinks highly of me, and I am very happy to perform, but...the emperor has watched Bengong's dance for many years, and I must be tired of watching it for a long time. Since sister Zhaoyi has such a sense of elegance, I am not as good as myself. Let's show your talents to the emperor, queen and all the sisters. I heard that sister Zhaoyi plays the piano very well, so let's play a piece."

After finishing speaking, Concubine Yuwen glanced at Yang Yuyao next to her, stood up with a smile, and said to Xuanyuan Hang: "Your Majesty, I have a proposal, how about letting Yang Zhaorong dance a dance and Zheng Zhaoyi play a piece to accompany Yang Zhaorong?" how?"

Seeing Concubine Yuwen push herself to the forefront with a few words, Yang Yuyao felt a little anxious.She has been unwell since the birth of the prince, and the imperial doctor also said that she should rest and not exercise vigorously.

When she was still a beautiful girl, she made her mark with her dancing skills. Unexpectedly, there are many concubines in the palace with outstanding martial arts skills, especially the dancing skills of Imperial Concubine Yuwen. He repeatedly accused her of dancing and insulted her many times. If it wasn't for having a prince, he would have been framed by imperial concubine Yuwen long ago, or would have been forgotten by the emperor.In order not to confront her tit for tat, he had no choice but to restrain his edge, but she still refused to let him go.
