Their time flowed together.
It was the Mid-Autumn Festival again. Every year there was something new, or it could be said that there was nothing new every year.
There was no telling if it was because Le Chengdi was getting on in years, but Le Chengdi seemed to prefer the warmth of "home" compared to the banquet in the palace. Therefore, he continued the habit of the first two or three years. During the long vacation, except for those who had to stick to their positions, the rest of the people went back to their own homes.
Speaking of which, Jingwan spent the first Mid-Autumn Festival in the Luo Family after she came to the capital. It was very warm and normal. This year, they spent the Mid-Autumn Festival in Jiangnan. It was just the two of them, so they could do whatever they wanted. Last year, they spent the Mid-Autumn Festival in the capital, but they did not pay much attention to the people in the capital.
This year, they were going to the palace to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Speaking of which, although it was a family banquet, it was a palace banquet after all. It was far from a normal family banquet.
However, compared with the outside world, the palace was naturally more sophisticated. Apart from the lanterns made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the palaces also used all kinds of means. After all, if one came out first, he or she would be rewarded. In fact, the reward was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that it could attract Le Chengdi's attention. Whether it was the concubines or those little princes and princesses, they were all very keen on this.
If the concubines were noticed, they might get favor. If the princes and princesses were noticed, they might get status.
Jing Wan let out a silent sigh. There was competition everywhere. In fact, because she had the memories of another life, even though she knew that under the feudal dynasty, a person's likes and dislikes could determine the status of many people, she still felt that it was very unbelievable when she experienced it personally. Although this was the most obvious manifestation of this point, it actually existed in the noble families and even ordinary people. As long as one could gain the favor of the head of the family, then even a kitten or a dog could live a better life than a living person.
However, it didn't matter how others fought for her. She had a big backer, so she only needed to watch from the sidelines. When necessary, she could secretly watch the show. And the result of those people fighting for her favor by all means, wasn't it just convenient for others? The colorful lanterns were a feast for the eyes. It really confirmed the saying that only you can think of it, no one else can't do it.
Compared to her previous life, some of the craftsmanship was weaker and could not be done. However, in Jingwan's opinion, there were many things that were better.
After hanging up the lanterns everywhere, Jingwan and Li Hongyuan strolled around leisurely.
Perhaps it was because she was pregnant, Jingwan was particularly fond of lanterns with chubby dolls painted on them. Sometimes, when she looked at them and fiddled with them with her fingers, she would even smile unconsciously.
In other people's eyes, just looking at Jingwan, that was absolutely tender and affectionate, they would feel warmth in their hearts. However, the dark faced demon behind Jin Qinwang Fei was really too much of a killjoy. That unapproachable appearance made people unconsciously turn around when they were still a few zhang away, avoiding them as far as possible.
Jin Qinwang loved Jin Qinwang Fei, this could be said to be a well-known consensus. However, sometimes Jin Qinwang's performance seemed to be very contradictory, such as now.
According to common sense, Jin Qinwang Fei was so happy, shouldn't Jin Qinwang also be happy? Why did it seem like he was quite unhappy? Just like how Jin Qinwang Fei put on a green hat for him. Well, this possibility did not exist. Not to mention that Jin Qinwang was almost inseparable from Jin Qinwang Fei. Jin Qinwang Fei having an affair in Jin Qinwang fu was really the biggest joke in the world. No matter how powerless and powerless the King of Hell was, how could he not control his own wangfu?
Therefore, it could be said that the King of Hell's thoughts were different from the rest. It was treacherous and unpredictable. If you couldn't guess, it was best not to guess blindly. Guessing back and forth, you could only let yourself get tangled up and become a mess of hemp rope.
Jingwan could actually feel someone's displeasure. However, except for the forbidden area that absolutely could not be touched, Jingwan had nothing to fear most of the time. He didn't like this piece of meat in her belly, but she was now closely connected to this piece of meat ah. Therefore, even if she deliberately threw a small tantrum, he was also helpless and could only compromise in the end.
Li Hongyuan looked at Jingwan's smiling 'mischief'. Sure enough, the black face did not last long.
After that, Li Hongyuan completely let Jingwan do whatever she wanted.
Although one was smiling warmly and the other was serious in speech and manner, the atmosphere between the two people was exceptionally harmonious. There was no room for a third person to intervene. The people who followed and served all retreated one zhang away.
This kind of atmosphere, who knew how many people were envious and jealous.
Although from time to time, the topic of Jin Qinwang Fei's' jealousy 'would be stirred up. Although many people harbored malice and waited for Jin Qinwang Fei to fall from grace, in reality, the former had no effect on her. As for the latter … Didn't you see that she was already two to three months pregnant? Her complexion was the same as before she was pregnant, and it even made people feel that she seemed to have become more beautiful.
In all likelihood, there was still no one else by Jin Qinwang Fei's side. Otherwise, even if she was a tongfang, Jin Qinwang Fei's state would not be like this. When a man had other women by his side, as a wife, no matter how clear and thorough she could see, it was impossible to be completely unaffected. Especially during pregnancy, this person was easily fragile and easy to let her imagination run wild.
There was a world of difference between being in a good state and pretending to be in a good state.
Once, twice, thrice, even four times, they all wanted to see how long she could be arrogant for. However, until now, they still couldn't see her as a joke. Jingwan didn't show any signs of falling from grace, causing these people to lose their temper first.
It was better to take care of yourself and not care so much about others. In the end, other than a stomach full of anger, there was still a stomach full of anger that had nowhere to vent. Therefore, what the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't feel vexed. When they see, they consciously avoid it.
The Imperial Palace was so big, there were many places with lanterns. Wanting to take a look at it was basically something that couldn't be done in a short period of time. After looking at about one-tenth of it, Jingwan lost interest. Moreover, her exercise today was enough. For the first three months, it was better to take it easy.
It was true that there were many kinds of lanterns in the Imperial Palace, but in the end, there was a lack of human touch. There was neither the liveliness of the flower street nor the warmth of each household.
The banquet was also held in the Imperial Garden. Li Hongyuan took Jingwan to a relatively quiet place. Because it was not in the way, no one would easily come over. In addition, there were people guarding by the side, so he didn't have any scruples to hold Jingwan in his arms.
Jingwan also quietly leaned in Li Hongyuan's arms, looking at the people coming and going not far away. The gorgeous imperial concubines, the exquisite and gorgeous princes and princesses, the dignified and virtuous princesses, and the elegant princes and princesses. No matter how she looked at it, it was fake! Even if she used her toes to think, she knew that most of these people had a fake face and pretended to be polite to others.
Of course, Jingwan was also very clear that all kinds of situations were not necessarily out of their hearts. As the saying goes, one can't help oneself. She was safe because she had a shelter. The man beside her blocked all the wind and rain for her, so she could be at ease in a corner. Otherwise, she might have become one of them. Therefore, she was not qualified to judge others.
After looking for a while, Jingwan yawned slightly. After she was pregnant, she still had some symptoms. For example, compared to before, she was more sleepy.
"Take a rest. It's still early for the banquet."
Li Hongyuan was already used to accompanying her. So, whenever something happened to Jingwan, he would always be the first to notice.
Jingwan did not make a sound, as if she had fallen asleep in this very short time.
Then, before Li Hongyuan said anything, Nanny Gong had already brought a cloak.
In such a day, although it was still a little hot in the day, the wind at night was already a little cold.
Jingwan was awakened by a noise. She sleepily rubbed her eyes, "What's wrong?"
"Two little girls are just fighting. Don't pay attention to it. Let's go to another place and continue to sleep for a while. "
"It's okay. I'm actually not that sleepy." Jing Wan leaned against him to wake herself up and then sat up straight.
Then, Jingwan realized that the so-called little girls fighting seemed to be two little princesses. But thinking about it, tonight was the emperor's family banquet. The people who rushed to fight here could not be little palace maids. Other than the little princesses, it could only be the little princesses of the various manors.
"What's going on? Let's go and take a look. "
Li Hongyuan actually noticed that Jing Wan's curiosity had been a little strong recently, but he didn't stop her. With him guarding, even if there were many people, others had to make way for him. He didn't have to worry about bumping into them.
After passing by, the two little princesses were still crying loudly. However, Jingwan's eyes flashed with confusion. What, this did not seem to be a matter of two people. There were clearly four people involved.
Le Chengdi had more sons than daughters. Noble Consort Su's Princess Minxiang was ranked fifth, and there was a slight age gap between her and the sixth princess. The sixth princess was not even fourteen years old, and the seventh princess was only half a year younger than her. At this moment, the two of them were disheveled, their hair was messy, and their eyes were spitting fire as they glared at each other.
Obviously, they were the main characters of the fight.
Jingwan stood aside and listened to them. She basically knew the cause and effect.
Only "…" could express her mood.
The fifth princess was married. Although the status of the remaining princesses was different because of their respective mothers, the difference was not very big. However, no matter how small the difference was, the difference was still the difference. They were not favored, and the position of concubine was absolutely different from that of the little nobles below.
The mothers of the sixth princess and the seventh princess were both concubines. Without the fifth princess's suppression, of course, now that Noble Consort Su had fallen from the throne and Prince Rui had been demoted to a concubine, even if the fifth princess was still in the palace, she could not suppress the other princesses. Now, the two princesses were the leaders. They each had their own little followers. They were the ones who fought, but the reason was their little followers.
It was just that the little princess below wanted to grab two fruit and vegetable lanterns.
Grapefruit lanterns, pumpkin lanterns, watermelon lanterns, orange lanterns, apple lanterns, and so on were relatively popular among the people. It was rare for the noble families to see them. The reason why the Luo Family had them was that Luo Peishan didn't mind. He just wanted to give the younger generation something to have fun with. However, many high officials and nobles minded it very much. They thought it was beneath their dignity to play with those things that were only for the poor.
One of the little princesses' mother came from a small family. She was sent to the Summer Palace by the people below. Then, she was chosen by Le Chengdi and brought back to the palace. Those fruit and vegetable lanterns were happy memories of her childhood, so she made two for her daughter on a whim. She was skillful and the lanterns she made were delicate enough.
Things that were not rare among the people were rare in the palace because they had never seen them before.
This attracted the "peeping" of others. As soon as she grabbed the lanterns, she attracted the big sister of the other party.
The Sixth Princess slapped the little princess who snatched the lanterns. "You're so young and you don't learn good things. Is this what your mother taught you?" Speaking of which, it was not necessarily to seek justice for her little follower. It was purely because the person she protected was robbed. How could she save face? Especially when the other party was "intimate" with her dead teammate.
She was a little girl. After being beaten, she would definitely cry. Moreover, the people in the palace were all shrewd. Although she was young, her lethality was definitely not small. Moreover, she knew the essence of "the child who cries gets meat to eat".
As soon as she cried, the people who supported her came.
In the eyes of the Seventh Princess, this good sister was not beating her little follower, but herself. She was so angry that if she said something wrong, she would directly beat her up.
Although the palace servants had pulled her away at the fastest speed, it still caused the current situation.
"It's good to be young. You're so energetic." Jingwan said with a sigh.
"From Wan Wan's words, you think you're old?" Li Hongyuan's eyes were a little deep.
"Yes, my heart is old." Obviously, Jingwan did not notice the change in her husband at all.
"According to Wan Wan, physically speaking, I'm eight years older than you. Mentally speaking … Ha …"
This meaningful "heh" made Jingwan, whose IQ was a little "damaged", instantly react. She quivered. What was that? In her previous life, she had died in her twenties, while the person beside her was in his forties. Moreover, experience was the key factor that determined a person's psychological maturity. She had experienced a lot, but the other person might have had more than seventy or eighty years of experience compared to others. Thinking about it this way, she was simply a little seedling, okay?
"Wan Wan is disdaining your husband for being old." Li Hongyuan seemed a little lonely and sad.
Jingwan really wanted to curse out loud. This sad look was even more unbearable than going crazy. Because even if she went crazy, her nerves had been tempered thousands of times, and her endurance was very high. Now that she suddenly changed her style, it was very strange, okay? Other people did not care, but when the living King of Hell suddenly acted like this, it would only make people's hearts tremble for no reason. It was the precursor of a big move.
Li Hongyuan saw Jingwan looking at him nervously, as if she was facing a great enemy. He smiled, like a gorgeous and magnificent purple peony blooming. Don't be too bewitching.
Li Hongyuan raised his hand and gently rubbed his finger on Jingwan's face. "Your husband can't do anything to you now, but we can put it on the account and slowly settle it in the future."
"How many debts have you put on me?" Jingwan asked subconsciously.
"Wan Wan, do you want to know? Your husband can count it for you one by one, even three times a day is not a problem. "
"No need." Jingwan immediately refused. Counting how many "knives" were hanging over her head, wasn't that looking for abuse?
Li Hongyuan showed a slightly regretful expression, missing the chance to add another debt.
Although the two people deliberately lowered their voices from beginning to end and did not make any intimate movements, most people's attention was on the two "valiant" princesses. However, there were still some people who noticed them.
— — Scoundrel, do you have to be so arrogant and show off your affection? Are you deliberately trying to make people jealous? Or jealous? Or jealous? Okay, you win! The atmosphere was obviously sweet, but their hearts were filled with sour bubbles. Did Jin Qinwang Fei really cultivate eight lifetimes of good fortune? Then what about them? Did they create eight lifetimes of evil?
When the younger sisters were in a conflict, the ordinary concubines could not intervene. The elders who could intervene were not present, so only the elder brothers and sisters-in-law had gone out. They did not have a direct elder brother. As for the others, they did not seem to be willing to pay attention to them. After all, if this kind of thing was not handled well, they would not be able to gain any benefits and would also be stained with blood.
Although the mothers of the Sixth Princess and Seventh Princess were not favored, but their maternal families still had some power. For no reason, no one was willing to make another enemy at this time.
The Sixth Princess and Seventh Princess were obviously still angry and did not consider the consequences. No one spoke, but it looked like they were going to fight again. Sure enough, in the next moment, they broke away from the palace servants who were holding them back and threw themselves at the other side.
"Are you really addicted to fighting?" Li Hongyuan's tone was slightly cold as he opened his mouth.
The two who were fighting immediately retreated and looked in the direction of the sound source in horror. It really was Sixth Imperial Brother. The two people's faces turned white.
Jingwan knew that her husband was a great deterrent to many people, but these princesses were scared like this. It seemed a bit unreasonable. Could it be that this old cucumber painted green man had even taught these little girls a lesson? Think about it, if he really taught them a lesson, it was before he left the palace. That was eight or nine years ago. The Sixth Princess and Seventh Princess were only a few years old. Could this man really do it?
Li Hongyuan glanced at Jingwan. He was very clear about what she was thinking and squeezed her hand. In his wife's heart, was he such a bad person? To tell the truth, these people were afraid of him, especially the younger ones. It could be said that when they were disobedient, their mothers used his reputation to scare them. Over time, it became a conditioned fear. Other than this, he really couldn't think of any other possibility. After all, for these younger brothers and sisters, Li Hongyuan completely couldn't distinguish who was who. The number of interactions was zero.
"Take all four of them back, ground them for six months, forfeit their salary for half a year. Hire two instructors for them and properly learn the rules." Li Hongyuan lightly said.
He didn't ask whether the little girl who was robbed at the beginning was innocent or not. Li Hongyuan didn't have the mind to be fair and just.
When these words came out, the princesses all trembled, but none of them pleaded. The two younger ones even suppressed their voices and didn't dare to cry loudly.
After being sent back by their palace servants, the others glanced at Jin Qinwang and went to do what they should do.
Others didn't want to offend people, but Jin Qinwang was completely unafraid.
When everyone dispersed, Jingwan poked Li Hongyuan's waist, "Our Jin Qinwang also has the effect of curing children crying at night?" Jingwan, who reacted half a beat slower, obviously already understood and ridiculed.
"After the little bastard in your belly is born, Wan Wan can personally see if this husband has this effect."
Jingwan once again lit a candle for the treasure in her belly. Being Li Hongyuan's child was definitely a very sad thing.
"I remember that year when I first entered the capital, the younger brothers and sisters at home also fought over the lanterns. However, the elders were happily watching from the side. And that group of younger ones, after the fight, went back to wash and reconciled in a flash."
"Don't compare with the imperial family in everything."
Jingwan smiled. That's right, the more one compared, the more depressed one would be. In the inner palace, there wasn't much true innocence.
Not long after, several of the empresses in the inner palace appeared. It looked like they were preparing to worship the moon.
However, not only did the Empress appear, Imperial Concubine Su also appeared. Jingwan was really surprised.
However, the Empress still looked sickly. It couldn't be helped. The aftereffects of her reincarnation were too strong. She was actually very lucky to still be alive. As for Imperial Concubine Su, although Emperor Le Chengdi banned her from entering the Jade Palace, in the end, there was no clear imperial edict.
No one knew why Emperor Le Chengdi allowed her to come out today.
However, the current them, only Imperial Concubine Qin didn't seem to have changed. Other than her, Imperial Concubine Wei Xian was also very different from the first time she saw them. It had only been a short time. If it wasn't for their identities being obvious, it was likely that it would be impossible to connect them now with their former selves.
The imperial palace was indeed the most nurturing and also the most torturous place.
When they were favored, they could be bright and beautiful. When they were out of favor, they would fall into the dust.
Everything was ready. Jingwan wanted to go over and worship the moon with the others.
Li Hongyuan directly stopped her, "No need."
"En?" Jingwan was a little confused. Even if Imperial Concubine Su was here, she wouldn't dare to do anything in public. Moreover, she could bring Mama Gong with her. The others also knew that she was special now and wouldn't go near her for no reason.
