Chapter 121 The Lantern Festival Banquet (Part [-])

The new year is finally coming.

This year's end of the year happened to be a sunny day, with the sun shining brightly and clouds floating in the sky.

It outlines a variety of purples and reds.

The entire Langjing City is full of bright red.

The bustling and charming Langjing is on the streets, and red lanterns are hung high.

On this day, Su Rao stayed with the Su family from morning to night, and spent the New Year with them, and at night, she even watched the New Year with Old General Su until the fireworks emptied at Haishi.

Child time arrives.

For this reason, Su Wu was astonished as if he had seen some big event, and he even called out: "Little sister, are you stupid? Why did you think of spending the night with us this year and watching the year with grandpa? What a shame!" It’s not like you, little sister! You don’t have a fever!”

While saying this, he put his hand directly on Su Rao's forehead, wanting to see if Su Rao had a fever. Since she was disfigured, the little girl who has been yelling sleepy and going to bed every year for eight years has never been lazy. Little sister, it's amazing to watch the New Year's Eve.

Su Wu could not be surprised by such things, but his hand did not touch Su Rao's forehead, and was slapped away by Aunt Su directly.

"What the hell are you talking about, Rao'er is fine, you're the only one who's crazy to see you for your mother, go, go, do what you should do, don't stay by Rao'er's side all day long, just like an asshole .”

Aunt Su's words made Su Wu groan: "My mother's heart is really long, Su Yuyan is your real son."

Then run away.

The angry Third Aunt Su rolled up her sleeves and chased them out.

It's getting more and more outrageous to scold the brat!Who is the old lady...

The family fights like this, it is not as strict and strict as in other noble mansions, the Su family is very warm and harmonious, and the family sits together at a big round table for the New Year's Eve dinner, not like the other mansions where one person sits at a table, and there are no servants Serving on the side is done by yourself, the elders add vegetables and care, and the children and grandchildren add soup to be filial.

A lively new year.

Saying pleasing and auspicious words, I wish grandpa every year of prosperity.

The elders give lucky money to ward off evil spirits and seek good luck, and live a long life.

This New Year is the happiest one Su Rao has had in eight years, and it is also the first New Year that she can watch the New Year's Eve with peace of mind. Her eyes no longer have the bloody killings in the night like in previous years, and the blood flows like a river. The fire ignited, and the sound of mourning was heard all over the ears.

The only regret is that Su's father and Su Da never returned home, and they are still dealing with the disaster in Tianguguan County.

The prince has never spent the New Year in Beijing.

For the rebuilding of those dilapidated houses in Tianguguan County, the crown prince and Su's father and son, as the supervising officials, must implement all the pre-projects of the houses and confirm the corresponding matters with the Ministry of Industry before returning to report on their work.

They returned to Beijing on the eve of the Shangyuan Festival.

The disaster situation in Tianguguan County is over, and the crown prince and Su father and son return to Beijing to report on their duties.

In ancient times, a woman in the back house could not accompany her husband to worship the New Year. All men went to the man’s house, and the only place a daughter could go was her natal home. They were also the younger sons of the family who accompanied their father there.

Although Su Rao is the prostitute of the Su family, she is a daughter's family after all, so she cannot accompany Old General Su and the others to visit relatives and friends, except when she accompanied Su mother to Yin Gonghou's mansion, Su Rao's grandmother's house, on the second day of the Lunar New Year. During the New Year's greetings, she spent most of the rest of the time in the Raoxiang Pavilion.

The door does not go out, and the second door does not step.

When the Su family has visitors, they don't need her daughter's family to show up, not to mention her reputation as a lewd dandy. Only a few Zanying families who had a good relationship with the Su family would bring their sons and grandsons with them.

So the New Year can be considered leisurely, until the arrival of the Lantern Festival...

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Father Su and his son returned to Beijing to report on their duties. The Crown Prince handled the snow disaster in Tianguguan County very well and did not cause any disturbance among the people.

For this reason, Yuhuang Longyan was very happy, and held a big banquet in the palace during the Lantern Festival.

In the past, although there was a banquet in the palace during the Shangyuan Festival every year, it was just an ordinary New Year's banquet, but this year it held such a grand banquet.

Small banquets are generally held in the side hall, and the officials who can participate in the banquet are all ministers and relatives of the emperor and relatives of the third rank and above, while the big banquet is held in the main hall of Luantian, and all ministers of the fifth rank and above can bring their family members to the banquet.

The Shangyuan Banquet was held so grandly, and everyone said it was to celebrate the prince, and the second was because of the arrival of Prince Rongfeng, Prince Yi and Princess Jiachun Changle.

The envoys of Danliang and Zhusiam celebrated the New Year in Yunlang, and these three people were of high status, Yunlang couldn't lose the national prestige in the eyes of these two countries, and let Danliang and Zhusiam know that Yunlang's national strength is strong.

There was indeed nothing wrong with such a reason, but Su Rao's sixth sense told her that this Shangyuan Banquet was not easy.

Because the son of Jiyue, who never participated in any banquet, unexpectedly appeared at the Shangyuan Banquet.

……

On the day of Shangyuan Festival, the sun is still shining brightly.

Luxurious carriages and carriages were parked outside the Yun Palace, and the carriage of the General's Palace was naturally inside.

This is the second time for Su Rao to step into the Cloud Palace, compared to the day she entered the palace not a month ago, she is completely calm now, her slender hands are no longer curled up and turned white, and there is no tranquility in those bright peach eyes.

It was still in the bright red dress, and the scar on the forehead was not covered up, it was just so generously exposed on the left forehead, but the sallow complexion became fair and tender.

In the eyes of others, such a Su Rao...

It seems that in addition to being a dandy, he also feels publicity, and brings out a bit of "dazzling" that has never been seen in the past.

Although the official children who came and went avoided her, their gazes would still glance over from time to time, and then a sentence came out in their hearts:
From this point of view, this ugly girl from the Su family was not very ugly.

Su Rao turned a blind eye to these dark eyes, because her gaze fell on the Yuehua carriage that was driving far away, and she never shifted away.

The Yuehua carriage, driven by Yunling, approached the gate of the palace.

The hustle and bustle at the gate of the palace became quiet for a moment, and the carriage entered the Yun Palace without stopping, which was a special case only for the son of Jiyue.

"Elder Jiyue actually came to the Shangyuan Banquet?"

There was a deep sense of astonishment in this voice, and then a few more voices, all of them were surprised that the prince Jiyue, who hadn't lived for a long time, actually...

Su Rao's gaze followed the carriage all the time, as if she hadn't heard the commotion, until she heard a joke in her ear: "Cousin Rao'er's eyeballs are about to fall out."

A man in a fine attire walked up to Su Rao's side, his eyes fell on Su Rao unscrupulously, more precisely on Su Rao's face.

There is a strong sense of lust in the eyes, it seems that he is the same kind of person as Su Rao.

Dandy lust is his trademark.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, and my cousin Rao'er has changed so much. If my aunt and cousin were not here, my cousin would have thought that he had admitted the wrong person."

While speaking, his eyes seemed to be close to Su Rao's face.
