The domain is facing Kyoto - Nandan City.
The seventh day of the seventh month is the day for the Qiqiao Festival.
Nandan City is more lively at this moment than in previous years, because the current emperor personally announced an important event not long ago, that is, the talented person who wins the Qiqiao Festival Poetry Competition will have the opportunity to go to Hanlin Academy.
As soon as this oral order was issued, it instantly attracted talented people from all over the world to attend the banquet.
Because the previous lantern festival had just ended not long ago, the decorations on both sides of the street had not yet begun to be removed.
The emperor announced this matter again this year, and with the arrival of the Qiqiao Festival, some businesses made a lot of money.
Although the Qiqiao Festival and the Lantern Festival are held on similar days, there is a huge difference between the two.
The former involves the participation of all people, while the latter involves only a small number of people.
It's just that Xicheng is vast and sparsely populated, and there are no particularly grand events throughout the year, so they are very concerned about a lantern festival.
The young ladies and gentlemen outside the palace made full preparations for the Qiqiao Festival early on, and the princesses in the palace were no exception.
The current emperor's youngest sons have all reached adulthood and have long since moved out of the palace, each being crowned a king and living outside.
No one stopped them from participating in the Qiqiao Festival, and with an oral order issued, almost all the princes who could go went.
In the palace, there were only a few princesses who had not yet reached the age of marriage, or princesses who had reached the age of marriage but had not yet married.
They were also looking forward to the Qiqiao Festival. The brave ones had already been thinking about how to leave the palace.
Fengyi Palace.
Early in the morning, after the Queen Mother had dealt with the greetings from the concubines, she went to the back hall to wake up the person who was still sleeping in the bed.
As soon as she saw her daughter sleeping soundly on the bed, her heart melted.
The queen's real name was Lin Jiayan. She married the then crown prince, now the emperor, at the age of seventeen. They were married for eighteen years and had a daughter.
The queen was not disappointed that she only gave birth to a daughter, but rather felt relieved.
Before she entered the palace, the emperor already had several illegitimate sons, each one more intelligent than the other. Even if her son was a legitimate son, it would not necessarily be easy for him to take that position.
Anyway, she was open-minded. No matter who became the emperor in the future, she would always be the empress dowager.
As for whether the new emperor would take action against her family after ascending the throne, the queen doesn't have to worry about it.
Her mother's family is a prominent family that has existed since the founding of the Yu Dynasty. The family has hereditary titles and two golden medals of immunity from death.
As long as the family members don't seek death, this thing will keep the family worry-free for life.
Lin Jiayan comes from the first-class Lin Guogong Mansion.
She is the eldest daughter of Duke Lin and has a younger brother.
Duke Lin and his wife have a very good relationship, and there are no other beautiful women in the mansion.
Lin Jiayan and her younger brother are twins, a boy and a girl. They have been close since childhood, and their relationship has not become distant even after she married into the palace.
Duke Lin felt sorry for his daughter who was managing such a large harem, and from time to time he would find some rare toys outside and send them into the palace.
Lin Jiayan's younger brother, the prince of Lin, has been married to his wife Chen Yue for seventeen years and they also have a daughter.
The Lin family has never had the rule of taking concubines. Although the queen and the prince both gave birth to daughters, the current duke is also very open-minded.
So what if it's a girl? At worst, I can find a husband for my granddaughter later, and the child born can also inherit the title of Duke Lin.
It was because the Duke and his wife were so optimistic and easy-going that they raised a pair of wonderful children.
Lin Jiayan dotes on her brother's daughter very much. Her niece is about the same age as her own daughter, so every year she brings her in to live with her for half a year before she is willing to let her go.
In this regard, Chen Yue has repeatedly cleaned up Lin Jiayan.
Lin Jiayan disagreed with this. She and Chen Yue grew up together and had a life-and-death friendship. It was not an exaggeration to call them close friends.
She brought her niece into the palace to live for half a year, and then Chen Yue submitted a petition to take her niece back to Duke Lin's mansion to live for half a year.
The two of them went back and forth, neither giving in.
Because of this, their two daughters suffered a lot. They had to run around every few days and each time they had to move to a new place before they could even stay there for two days.
As the Qiqiao Festival was approaching, Chen Yue finally released her beloved niece.
The queen smiled and woke the person in the bed, "Ranran, hurry up and get up. Didn't you say you would go outside the palace to participate in the Qiqiao Festival today? If you don't get up now, the sun is almost setting."
The figure with his head covered moved and stretched out a hand from under the quilt.
The hands rubbed their eyes and got up sleepily.
"Mother, then I want to wear the same clothes as Xia Xia."
The queen scratched the tip of the girl's nose and said, "Okay, okay, wear the same clothes as your sister."
The girl smiled sweetly and patted the person sleeping inside, "Xia Xia, we're almost up."
The person being photographed also moved, crawling out of the quilt with a messy hair.
This girl named Xia Xia looks a bit like Yu Churan, with the same pair of almond-shaped eyes. If you don't look carefully, you might think they are sisters from the same mother.
"Sister, have you eaten yet?"
Lin Jinxia couldn't tell what year it was, she only knew that it was time to eat when she woke up.
"puff!"
The Queen and Yu Churan smiled in unison: "Yes, yes, dinner is ready. We can leave the palace after dinner."
Yu Churan still remembered to wear the same clothes as her sister, so she quickly asked the nanny to bring over two identical sets of ruqun.
After the two sisters finished their meal, they swaggered out with the queen's sign.
When passing by the Imperial Garden, they happened to meet the second princess Yu Tang, who was at odds with Yu Churan.
