Chapter 117: Lantern Festival (Part 1)

On the Lantern Festival, the streets and alleys are full of colors, coupled with the fine snow flying all over the sky, making the entire king capital look like a fairyland.
This year’s Lantern Festival has played a new trick, moved from the long street in the city to Tingzhou outside the city. There are large three-dimensional lanterns along the bank, with swans with curving necks and blue whales with eager tails. There is also a large grove of peach trees that can't be seen to the end, and the peaches hanging on it are all pink and full, which is extremely attractive.
Because of the unprecedented scale of this time, it attracted many people to watch, Ye Huaiyang was also a little itchy in his heart, but when he saw his cumbersome body, he fainted, thinking about Chu Jinglan, who was so busy lately, completely dispelled him. Got this idea.
Now, as a queen, she can’t go back to the night house to celebrate the holidays like she used to. She ate up her dinner alone, and then leaned on the beauty’s couch to read a book for a while. Who knew that her eyelids fell straight down, she simply closed the book and squinted for a while. .
I don’t know how long I slept, but in the trance, I only felt light, as if being picked up by someone. The embrace was extremely stable, even when she walked, she didn’t move for a while, as if she was holding a bunch of catkins, she was comfortable. I slept deeply again.
Later, Ye Huaiyang was awakened by the noisy voices, opened her eyes in a daze, and found that the place was small and dark. Before she could tell where it was, a hot and humid kiss covered her. The cat-like voice was soft and soft, and the person who was supporting her suddenly tightened.
"Huh... shocking?"
After taking countless Mi Jin Chu Jinglan and letting go of her panting, she stroked her soft face and said dumbly: "If it's not right now, I really want you."
Ye Huaiyang's cheeks are becoming more and more red and bloody, and they exude a charming color under the dim light, "Your Majesty is not serious, what should the Pope hear?"
"You are less serious?" Chu Jinglan glanced at her with slanted eyes. "With a mother like this, I don't think about what the emperor is like when he is born."
"Then your Majesty will have a baby with someone else, they are serious!" Ye Huaiyang angrily turned his body and turned to the inside of the soft couch and ignored him.
It's rare to see her playing tricks, especially her clumsy look when she turned around, like a fat fish writhing on the shore, without any threatening feeling at all, Chu Jinglan couldn't help laughing, her low voice echoed. Between the square inches, Jiao Ye Huaiyang couldn't pretend to be unable to hear, and suddenly became even more embarrassed.
"Smile, go out! Don't sleep here tonight!"
Chu Jinglan laughed louder, with a hint of joking: "I really didn't plan to sleep in the carriage."
carriage?
Ye Huai raised her head suddenly, only to find that the surrounding walls were covered with exquisite dark flowers, which were obviously decorations only found in the carriages. As she looked up, she raised her body, and her familiar iron arms immediately wrapped around her waist. Sit up slowly and hold her up.
"Aren't we in the palace? Where are we going?"
"Take you to admire the lanterns." Chu Jinglan replied lightly, but her eyes lit up suddenly.
"Really?"
After speaking, she lifted the curtain and took a look, and found that she was really on the bustling street. The carriage was driving past various stalls at a constant speed. The crowds were crowded, the noise was loud, and the colorful lanterns were lit up one after another. Over the corner of his eye, it was overwhelming. Chu Jinglan squeezed the white jade catkin back in his palm, rubbed the cold air on it, and then took her whole body into his arms.
"Why don't you tell me if you want to see that?"
Ye Huaiyang played with the violet jade buttons on his neckline, and whispered softly: "You have been too busy to sleep lately. Why am I willing to let you be distracted to accompany me to watch the lights?"
Chu Jinglan was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked with a heavy weight: "Do you think I am better than before when I become the emperor?"
"Why?" Ye Huaiyang whispered, and then stroked his stiff back. "My husband is not a thing in the pool. He belongs to the nine geniuses who spread his wings. The splendid rivers and mountains, all the people rely on him. To create the rule of the prosperous age, he should be as ambitious as he is now, instead of being trapped on the embroidered couch in the boudoir. As his wife, how can I not even have this sense of consciousness?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Jinglan's arms tightened, as if to embed her in the blood.
He has not forgotten the situation when he watched the lights with her last year. At that time they had to pretend to be a husband and wife at odds. He couldn't even hold her hand frankly and go out. Later, she pretended to be a man. It was only after entering my own Tianque Tower that I could get a glimpse of the festive scenery, but how could it be more fun to look at it from a distance than to step into it in person? She never complained a word, as if she would be happy as long as he was with him.
I don't know if she was like this when she was in her boudoir, but it was easy to be satisfied after following him.
The more he thinks of this, the more he feels guilty as a husband, and his heart is filled with the empathy of her just now. If he is the last goshawk of Wanli Bixiao, she is the one who can Tie his soft rope, but willingly let him soar.
He faintly opened his lips and found that there was only one sentence to say: "Younger, I love you."
Ye Huaiyang smiled and pecked at his side: "I love you too."
After that, the two of them had nothing to say, they just hugged each other quietly, the carriage was a little bumpy, but his arms were so stable, and he drove away all worries and discomforts for her, only joy lingered in his heart, even on the wall of the carriage. The dark patterns are like thousands of miles of brocade, thousands of miles of flowers.
Amidst the tranquility, the carriage had already drove out of the north gate of the royal capital, and the speed of the car immediately picked up. It reached the bank of the Yi River in less than half an hour. Looking over from the ferry, the Tingzhou in the middle was radiant and the fire trees and silver flowers bloomed. Like the Milky Way falling into the world.
Chu Jinglan took the lead to get out of the car, and then helped Ye Huaiyang to land carefully. She couldn't wait to go forward and have a look, but was dragged back by Chu Jinglan, and then a large fox fur cloak surrounded her. She was wrapped tightly, and even the abdomen was tied with a ribbon to protect her from the cold wind.
"The river is windy and the road is not easy to walk, so you are not allowed to run around."
Ye Huaiyang nodded and followed him step by step towards the ferry, and saw a huge pleasure boat docked there, gilt and green, brightly lit, and there were two floors above and below, which looked very spacious and extended from the side. The trestle bridge is connected to the shore for them to board the deck.
Pleasure boats are everywhere, and none of them can be better than others. It seems that he has taken pains to prepare.
Ye Huaiyang was very excited. He dragged him to the crossing, but he hesitated slightly, and cautiously gathered her up, "If you go up for a while and still feel uncomfortable as before, you must tell me."
"Good." She obediently agreed, and immediately got on the boat.
The copper stove has been lit up in every corner of the cabin, and a warm air blows when the door is opened. The gaps between the doors and windows are also tightly filled with cowhide. After closing, no cool air can leak in. The seat is also covered with thick wool felt, and the sharp corners are wrapped in cotton with several layers of silk brocade, even if it is hit when it is shaking.
A certain fat fish looked at all this painstaking effort, pursed his lips and smiled softly.
It only takes a short time to get to Tingzhou from here, so the two of them didn't sit on the boat for a long time.
They were not too late. There were still many people on Tingzhou, bustling with excitement. Chu Jinglan was slowly strolling around Ye Huaiyang, not much interested in admiring the lights. It can be seen that her eyes were watching. The light also felt comfortable.
There is no shortage of business people. The front lines along the coast are full of stalls selling small items, scattered all over the floor, which is very eye-catching. Ye Huaiyang asked Chu Jinglan to buy her a candy gourd to chew. Playing, eating while strolling, and turning her head to feed him, Chu Jinglan bit one under her expectant gaze. After the sugar coating melted off, she almost made her teeth sour. She turned her head and looked at Ye Huaiyang again. It was called Huan, and he didn't take a break, his face suddenly became a little complicated.
"...Don't you feel sour?"
"It's not sour." Ye Huaiyang answered vaguely with his cheeks puffed out, and glanced at him again, "Do you feel sour? That should be the fruit, or you can try this one again..."
Chu Jinglan's mouth twitched and said, "No, you can eat it."
Ye Huaiyang was not polite, and immediately retracted the stick, and gnawed it out with two babbles. After that, he shook his arm coquettishly: "I still want to eat..."
How can you eat so much of this outside? What's more, she is still pregnant and can't let it go. Thinking about this, Chu Jinglan decisively rejected her: "No."
Fat fish's face collapsed all at once.
Chu Jinglan couldn't see her aggrieved appearance, so he took a step back: "Wait when I return to the palace and let Yu Chu do it for you."
"Ok……"
The low tide was only a momentary thing, and soon she was attracted by the dazzling array of things again, pulling Chu Jinglan to jump everywhere, not like a pregnant woman at all, let alone the patron of the dignified night family, Chu Jinglan Regarding her young girl's character as a treasure, she naturally left her alone.
Soon, she bought a lot of messy things. She only mentioned a panda lantern and said that she took it back as a lady for Lan Lan. The rest were carried by Tang Qingfeng and Yueya. Most of them were not needed. It's purely a pleasure to buy.
Unknowingly, I walked to a stall selling small toys. On it, there is a rattle made of rhinoceros. It is very delicate. The drum surface is painted with a huge unicorn. The drum beads are two agates, even the pattern of the tassel and the string. They were all different from ordinary ones, Ye Huaiyang played with it lovingly, and the more he watched, the more he liked it.
The stall owner was an old woman with gray hair, and when she saw her tucked up, he asked, "Madam will have a baby in one or two months, right? Buying it back is just for the young master to play with. It's cheaper if you are old."
Ye Huaiyang raised his eyebrows and said: "How do you know it must be the young master?"
The old woman smiled kindly, "The old man gave birth to eight children. There is still a wink. Not only that, the old man can see that the wife is the first child."
This vision is indeed sharper.
"If this is the case, my husband would be unhappy." Ye Huaiyang glanced at Chu Jinglan mischievously, and the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising. "He just wants a daughter with all his heart."
"Oh, it's rare to dare, that old man in my family just wanted a boy, and I gave birth to eight boys."
This is the truth, not to say that this is the case in ordinary people's homes. The rich and powerful families pay more attention to this. Some people ask someone to get a baby in order to give birth to an eldest son. As for the royal family, I don't know how many people are staring at the children in her belly, and some even look forward to being a girl, so that she might fall out of favor, and Chu Jinglan will accept more beautiful women into the palace.
Throughout the ages, regardless of who your emperor is, the harem has always been a place for others to calculate.
The two of them were not affected, they just wanted a reduced version of each other, so they didn't care much after hearing this. Ye Huaiyang didn't talk to the old woman anymore, and simply bought the rattle, and then took Chu Jinglan away.
Walking on the road, she suddenly made a suggestion: "Stunned, why not go to the temple in a few days."
Chu Jinglan touched her belly and nodded, thinking that she should pray to the Bodhisattva to protect her from giving birth, but she almost didn't choke him when she said next.
"I hope the Bodhisattva can promise me that whether it is a boy or a girl will be as handsome as you!"
