After marrying a concubine, I have the ability to read minds

159 The Lantern Festival 1
The fifth prince was a little disappointed, 【It's okay, some things can't be rushed, he doesn't believe that the sixth brother's stubborn mind can't be broken for a long time, he naturally doesn't think too much now, and he will know the power when he suffers setbacks outside The benefits are gone! 】

Ye Hanyu: ...Can't you be in a hurry?Still frustrated?Also know the benefits of power?Brother Wu, it really left him speechless!

He didn't understand, he was just a prince without the support of his mother and no foundation in the court, how did Fifth Brother think he could compete with others?
"Well, you're right. By the way, do you want to remind your father-in-law that it's better not to get involved in this kind of thing."

Ye Hanyu shook her head, "No, according to my father-in-law's temperament, he won't get involved in such boring things."

The princess is so smart, how could her father be a fool?And in the year when he worked in Beijing, when did his father-in-law do something stupid?
Not to mention the father-in-law, even his elder brother-in-law is not a simple one. The Gu family is also a bit more simple-minded than the mother-in-law, but she is definitely a good mother.

……

Before the matter of the prince being struck by lightning was reported to the court, rumors spread in the palace that the prince tortured and killed those court ladies. That afternoon, the prince was called to Chaoyang Palace and stayed there for nearly an hour. The emperor directly rewarded him Fifty large plates.

The queen got the news and rushed to the Chaoyang Palace to intercede, but the emperor didn't give her any face, and punished her to watch the prince being tortured with a stick. Finally, the queen fainted from distress and was carried back to Kunning Palace.

After hitting fifty big boards, the emperor stood in front of the prince who was in so much pain and asked him: "Do you know why the father beat you?"

The prince didn't say anything, it was so painful that he didn't even have the strength to speak.

"You are my son-in-law, I have high hopes for you, I love you deeply, and I am deeply responsible, you have disappointed me so much.

Also, if you want to secure your position as the crown prince, you must bear the fifty sticks today, so that no one will bring this matter up to attack you again.

Because same crime is not punished twice.

do you understand? "

The prince raised his head with difficulty, such a small movement hurt so much that his face turned pale: "My son, my son, thank you, father."

The emperor had a cold face, "Li Changhai, send the prince back to the East Palace, and let the Siyuan treat the prince properly, and don't let him suffer from hidden diseases."

The injury on the prince's arm didn't heal at all, and with the addition of these fifty sticks, half of his life was directly lost.

Of course, the executioner was simply being merciful, otherwise, the crown prince would not even be able to hold the fifty rods.

Several eunuchs carefully lifted the crown prince and sent him to the East Palace. The crown prince slowly closed his eyes, but hatred filled his heart.

……

Knowing that the prince's torture and murder was stabbed in front of the emperor, but he was only punished fifty times with a stick. The people behind the scene felt a little regretful. It's a pity, why didn't the prince be beaten to death?

But it doesn't matter, they (they) still have a plan, so they don't know what will happen next, can the prince still escape?
On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, lanterns are hung everywhere in the palace. The clansmen and ministers will all receive the lantern fruit boxes as rewards from the palace. In the evening, there will be a banquet in the palace, and all the concubines and princes will gather to participate Enjoy delicious food at the family banquet, and there will be a firework show after dinner.

After watching the sky filled with fireworks, the emperor returned to Chaoyang Palace. Ye Hanyu immediately dragged Gu Wanning back to the prince's residence, "Hurry up and change into your clothes, the Lord will take you outside the palace to watch the lanterns."

Every year during the Lantern Festival, there is no curfew in the capital, and the outside of the palace is even more lively than inside, and the lantern festival will last for three days. The princess is still young, so she will definitely like to join in the fun.

Gu Wanning must have been moved, but when she thought that the murderer who assassinated them last time had not been caught yet, and there were too many people attending the lantern festival, it would be bad if there was an accident.

"Grandpa, why don't you forget it, places with many people are not safe, and your injury is still not healed, so you can't go to the Lantern Festival."

Ye Hanyu smiled and said, "Are you really a fool? Let's go out of the palace in disguise tonight, and put on a mask when we go outside.

I don’t take a step by myself, let the servants carry it. I have already set the best location on Siping Street. Let’s enjoy the delicious food while watching the lanterns and fireworks. I promise you will have a good time. "

Only then did Gu Wanning feel relieved, and took a look at the clothes Ye Hanyu had prepared. It turned out to be a men's suit with a fox mask inside.

……

Two quarters of an hour later, the couple quietly left the palace with a few servants. There were already two very ordinary carriages waiting at the gate of the palace, and the carriages rattled towards the busiest Siping Street.

There are bridges and rivers in Siping Street, and there are various juggling shows on both sides of the bridge for people to enjoy.

The carriage stopped at least two miles away from Siping Street, because there were too many people on the street, the carriage could not walk at all, so Ye Hanyu got out of the carriage, Xiao Weizi carried it on his back, and Hongmei Chunlan supported Gu Wanning together Go to the restaurant that has been booked in advance.

Everyone in this group wore masks and were all dressed up as men, even Gu Wanning's four major maidservants were no exception.

Gu Wanning was wearing a thick cloak, a hat on her head, a black scarf around her neck, and a black fox mask, covering her whole body tightly. If anyone can recognize her, it's really a shame. Possesses a pair of clairvoyant eyes.

As soon as she got off the carriage, Gu Wanning was attracted by all kinds of lanterns hanging on the side of the street. Elephant lanterns, toad lanterns, rabbit lanterns, crab lanterns, figure lanterns, etc. were dazzling.
The bustling scene of lights, festoons, trees and silver flowers everywhere made Gu Wanning feel as if she had entered another world.

By the time she entered the restaurant that Ye Hanyu had reserved in advance, she had already bought a lantern for the entire group. Even Ye Hanyu, who had a leg injury and was unable to move, had a snake lantern, but someone who felt ashamed put the lantern in Gu Wanning's hand Here, in the pretense of asking her to help carry it, he has no hands.

At the entrance of the restaurant, Ye Hanyu signaled Xiao Weizi to put him down. In fact, the redness and swelling on his ankles had already subsided, but Gu Wanning told him not to use force if he could, and to take care of it for a few more days, so as not to form a habitual dislocation in the future. The feet are on the right foot, and the arms are put on Xiao Weizi's shoulders, "Master is waiting for you here, you can take the servants to go shopping below, He Chu will take someone to protect you, be careful, as long as you don't get separated That's it."

Gu Wanning did not refuse, and of course she would go for a stroll when she finally came out.

"Then hurry up and go in, it's cold outside, we'll come back after a round."

Ye Hanyu waved at her, signaling her to go first, but he didn't move.

Gu Wanning felt the scorching gaze behind her, she couldn't help turning her head, the warm yellow light hit the white fox mask, his hair was clearly rooted, and the only pair of dark eyes that were exposed were looking softly at she.

She turned her head hastily, her steps staggered, Hongmei gave her a timely help, and the master and four servants quickly disappeared into the crowd. '
