Chapter 256 Surprise
Huo Jinchi had prepared so much for today, and there was some apology in his eyes when he talked about the fact that they could only set off fireworks outside the palace.
Yun Qin looked at him for a long time, then suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed the corner of his lips.
"I like it very much. I like it very much."
Huo Jinchi was slightly stunned as he looked at her smile blooming in front of him. When she turned her head to look at the fireworks again, he stretched out his finger and touched the corner of his lips, and smiled as well.
It was not in vain that he went to ask his eldest brother for advice. Everyone knew that he and the princess were very loving.
But he didn't know what Yun Qin would like, so he just arranged everything, such as night drinking in the center of the lake, revolving lanterns, portrait lanterns...
Fortunately, Yunqin seemed to like it.
Yun Qin stared at the fireworks intently, while Huo Jinchi's eyes were always on her face. Her eyes were clear, reflecting the appearance of each firework clearly, which was more gorgeous than the real fireworks.
Before the fireworks ended, Huo Jinchi took her to sit on the stool and took out a bowl of noodles from the food box beside her. "This is the longevity noodles I asked Chef Yu to make. Eat it while it's hot."
In Yanning Palace, Yun Qin had just divided the cake and had not had time to eat dinner yet, so she reached out to take it.
Huo Jinchi smiled and said, "I wish Ah Qin good luck from now on, and may she continue to grow and be happy."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yun Qin felt that he was really pleasing to the eye tonight, and the chicken soup noodles in the bowl were quite tempting.
She picked up the noodle and then noticed it was just one stick.
"Don't bite it off." Hawking Chi warned.
Yun Qin glanced at him without refutation. She just lowered her eyes and ate the noodles. Fortunately, one noodle was not very long, so it would not cause her to suffocate.
Turning around and seeing Huo Jinchi's satisfied look, Yun Qin didn't know whether she ate the noodles or he did.
It is impossible to drink at night. Yun Qin's body cannot be exposed to cold wind for too long.
After eating the longevity noodles, he sat for a while and then sent Yunqin back to the palace.
Walking outside the pavilion and looking at the lanterns, Yun Qin couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, can you give all these lanterns to me?"
"It was originally intended for you." Huo Jinchi laughed, "I will have someone deliver all the things to Yanning Palace in a while."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Huo Jinchi helped her tighten the cloak and said, "Let's go."
Sitting on the sedan chair, Huo Jinchi returned to the outside of Yanning Palace. He did not plan to go in. If he stayed overnight in the concubine's palace, it would have to be recorded, which would definitely alarm other palaces.
"Your Majesty, won't you accompany me for dinner?" Yun Qin asked hesitantly.
Huo Jinchi pinched her face and said, "I'm afraid if I stay with you for a while longer, I won't be able to leave."
Yun Qin blushed slightly and whispered, "Then Your Majesty, please go back soon and don't review the memorials too late. I will come to see you another day."
"You don't have to move around all the time. It's most important for you to take good care of yourself." Huo Jinchi said, "You're getting windy here. Come in quickly."
While talking to each other, the two continued talking for a while before Yun Qin turned around and went back to the palace.
After Huo Jinchi, he got on the sedan chair and quietly returned to Tongming Palace.
Walking into the hall, Yun Qin untied her cloak, still with a smile on her face, but without the shyness and sweetness just now.
"Sister, I'm hungry. Please have someone bring me dinner."
When Rong Xin heard this, she quickly asked someone to prepare the food, and soon the food was on the table.
Of course, there is also a bowl of longevity noodles.
Yun Qin subconsciously went to get the noodles, but when she put them into her mouth, she felt that they didn't taste as good as the one she had just eaten. However, under Rong Xin's gaze, she still reluctantly ate one.
Then he put the bowl of noodles aside and never touched it again until he finished his meal.
——
The fireworks outside the palace last night naturally became a topic of interest inside the palace the next day.
Everyone was discussing which noble family had set off such a grand fireworks display and why.
Some people speculated that someone was getting married, while others thought it was a birthday celebration for the elders in the family.
Even when paying respects to the Queen, Fang Danying couldn't help but talk about this matter, "What a grand expense! Such a fireworks display, I don't know how much money it cost, and it was set off on the top of the mountain. Maybe it was someone I know."
The Queen glanced at her and could relate everything to herself, showing off her good popularity, which was also a skill.
Liu Cainu, who was standing by, also laughed and said, "What a coincidence! Yesterday was Concubine Xi's birthday. It's a pity that I only heard about it today and was too embarrassed to go to her house to congratulate her."
"Is today Concubine Xi's birthday?" The Queen was slightly surprised and couldn't help but glance at Lanying.
Compared to her attention, other people were more happy about the misfortune.
"I thought, she hasn't recovered yet, why did she go to the emperor's palace? Maybe she wanted to use her birthday to make peace with the emperor." Fang Danying said gloatingly, "It's a pity that it seems that the emperor was furious again. I heard that all the snacks she brought were smashed to pieces."
Her words made Liu Cainü laugh, but Nie Danying next to her did not laugh. Instead, a strange light flashed in his eyes.
The queen couldn't stand her like this, and said coldly: "You are the one who talks too much. Once you agree, you can't comment on Xipin. I think you haven't copied enough palace rules!"
After being scolded, Fang Danying's face immediately turned embarrassed and he stopped talking.
The Queen then let them go back and asked Lanying to prepare gifts and send them to Yanning Palace.
Liu Cainv, who had walked out of Fengyi Palace, quickly took a few steps to catch up with Fang Danying, "Sister Fang, we know the truth today. Do you want to go to Yanning Palace with me? At least give me something to show your appreciation."
Fang Danying glanced at her and touched the hairpin in his hair dignifiedly. "I am in a hurry to pay my respects to the Queen Mother, but I don't have the leisure time like you. If you want to go, go by yourself."
Having said that, he led the palace maids away.
Liu Cainü had no choice but to go to see Nie Danying again, but she didn't even look at Liu Cainü and just walked away.
"Will the concubine still go to Yanning Palace?" asked the palace maid.
Liu Cainv sighed, "Both of them agreed not to go, how can I dare to go past them? I'd better go back and pack some gifts, and you can deliver them to Yanning Palace in person."
"yes."
No one expected that Nie agreed to go back to her residence, change her clothes, and go before the emperor, and the emperor actually let her in.
When she received the message, she had not yet come out of Yu's study.
"This little bastard is so quick to act!" Fang Danying cursed in front of the Queen Mother as soon as he heard the news.
The Queen Mother has not been in good health since the Buddhist temple was demolished last time. She was sitting on the couch at this moment, her face still looked a little ugly. She glanced at Fang Ying and said, "If you are jealous, you should pay more attention to it and stop coming to me every other day."
"It's just that I haven't visited my aunt for a long time, and I'm worried about her." She knew very well that the Emperor was angry with the Queen Mother, and she shouldn't be too close to her.
But now she can only count on the Queen Mother to help her.
The Queen Mother glanced at her again, and her usually gentle eyes flashed with a sinister look, "You must accept the favor before Nie Danying!"
