After the divorce, I became the Lord of the Six Houses

Su Jingyan saw Xiao Yi's happy expression from ear to ear, and said, "Is Daddy so happy? You have asked me to kiss my mother many times every year."

Xiao Yi said: "Of course I'm happy, but it's the first time every year that I call my daddy."

Su Jingyan looked at the sky outside and said, "Take Niannian down to the nanny to wash up, and you should wash up as soon as possible, it will be dawn soon."

Xiao Yi took Su Jingyan's hand and said, "Let's go wash up together."

Su Jingyan thought that Xiao Yi had indeed been wronged during this period of time, so she did not refuse to go to the soup pond behind the screen with him.

It took almost half an hour to get out of the bath.

Su Jingyan didn't have any strength at all, she was wrapped in a thin blanket, and Xiao Yi let Xiao Yi carry her to the bed where the bedding had been changed.

Xiao Yi pressed a kiss on Su Jingyan's forehead, and said reluctantly, "I'm going to court first."

Seeing the clingy Xiao Yi, Su Jingyan said: "It's getting late, you go, I also have to get up and go to Ningshou Palace to find my mother and discuss about the Flower Festival."

On March [-]rd, the Flower Festival is also known as the Hundred Flowers Festival. On this day, unmarried girls will dress up as those flower gods and go out on a parade, and go around Shanglin Street for a week to go to the Flower God Temple to make offerings.

The Flower Festival is one of the busiest festivals in Luoyang City, but Su Jingyan hasn't been there for many years.

A few years ago when Xiao Ting was fighting abroad, Su Jingyan could not go to such a grand gathering for unmarried women.

On March [-]rd of the year before last, I was called by my mother to sing poems and odes with Su Liu's friends in Qushuiliu. I was busy looking for concubines for Xiao Yi, but I never went to the Huachao Festival.

The Huachao Festival was not organized during the war last year. Now that March [-]rd is approaching, the Huachao Festival is the first major event for Luoyang women.

Xiao Yi said: "Will there be a palace banquet in Huachao Festival Palace?"

Su Jingyan saw that the poor little emperor went out of the palace a handful of times, let alone the scene of the Flower Festival, so she explained:

"The Huachao Festival is a grand event for women to parade through the streets held by the imperial court among the people.

But any unmarried girl between the ages of thirteen and seventeen can go to the head of the village and say that she wants to participate in the Huachao Festival.

Afterwards, the county government screens out girls with excellent character and appearance to enter the palace, and I will decide for each of them what kind of flower god they will dress up as.

Generally, nearly a hundred kinds of flower gods will be selected, among which peonies, peonies, lotus flowers, plum blossoms, begonias and other noble flower fairies will be selected from among the daughters of high-ranking officials and noble families.

Being chosen as the peony flower god is the king of flowers. After parading in the street, there must be many people who will marry and propose marriage in the future.

The Flower Festival is a grand event that women are looking forward to, even if the women are not selected, they will watch the excitement on the street and worship the flower fairies. "

Xiao Yi asked curiously: "They are all flowers, so why do you have to distinguish whether they are virtuous or not? Ah Yan, have you ever played the role of flower god?"

Su Jingyan said: "Of course I did it. I was only 13 years old when I played the role, and you were only ten years old. At that time, the late emperor was still alive, and the late emperor even rewarded me with a golden peony, which was enshrined in the Su Family Ancestor by my father." In the temple."

Xiao Yi couldn't remember Su Jingyan's appearance when he was ten years old when he was dressed as the Peony Goddess, and he might have never seen it at that time.

Xiao Yi said: "It's a pity that I couldn't see Ah Yan pretending to be a flower god at that time. I wonder if Ah Yan can pretend to be a peony fairy again for me to see?"

Su Jing said: "At that time, I was a thing for unmarried girls. I was already twenty and one. At this age, it would be a joke to pretend to be a flower fairy."

Xiao Yi reached out and touched Su Jingyan's cheek, "What a joke, I think that if there is a peony fairy in the world, it will never be as beautiful as Ah Yan."

Su Jingyan hurriedly said: "You really have no scruples, dare to say such offensive words? Amitabha, gods and Buddhas don't blame children for talking nonsense."

Xiao Yi smiled and said, "If Hua is really spiritual, her walking is also Taoism. What does it have to do with Amitabha?"

Su Jingyan cast an angry look at Xiao Yi and said, "Stop talking about the difference between Buddhism, Taoism and God, you will be late for going to court."

Seeing the sky outside, Xiao Yi said, "I'm leaving."

After Xiao Yi left, Su Jingyan got up, washed up and went to Ningshou Palace.

Seeing Su Jingyan coming so early, the queen mother said, "Ayan, why don't you rest more? You have to rest up after traveling all the way from Jiangnan."

Su Jing said: "Aunt, I'm here to trouble you. It's the first time I've held the Flower Dynasty Festival since I entered the palace. It's really hard to choose the candidates for these flower fairies. It's more tiring than choosing a concubine for the little emperor at that time."

Although the flowers are all the same, as Xiao Yi said, it is ridiculous to classify flowers into high and low.

But in fact, the world divides flowers into high and low, especially peony and peony are both graceful and luxurious flowers, but the world just wants to say that peony is under the peony.

Therefore, the person pretending to be a peony is not as good as a person who pretends to be a peony. In the past, every year because of this, there were many incidents where the two girls' families, who were originally family friends, broke up at the end.

The queen mother laughed lightly and said: "That's true, especially when the princesses and county chiefs in the clan are arguing, it is even more troublesome. If Ai's family says that you only follow your eyes, aunt believes in your eyes."

Su Jing said: "Before Xiliang fought endlessly, and last year in the battle with Xiao Ting, many soldiers were lost. These soldiers have many family members, and many of them have sisters. I think this Huachao Festival will let us They dress up as Flora."

The queen mother said, "That's a good idea."

The Queen Mother twirled the beads in her hand and said, "Ah Yan, you said a while ago that you want to have another child?"

Su Jingyan said with a soft smile: "Niannian is so cute and cute, I can see that I want to have another one. You also know that I have no younger siblings since I was a child. I envy people who have younger siblings, so I feel that I have another one for Niannian to have a younger brother and sister as companions." That's fine too."

Su Jingyan continued: "But if His Majesty doesn't want to give birth, that's all."

The Queen Mother held the Buddha beads and said, "Ah Yan, Auntie is sincerely doing it for your own good, so what she said was a little harsh, so don't mind it, you have to have another one if you can live, after all, you're not afraid of anything but [-]..."

The queen mother's words were euphemistic, and Su Jingyan also heard the implication in her aunt's words. My aunt only had Cousin Ling as a child.

After Cousin Ling passed away, my aunt's sky collapsed in half.

In fact, my aunt is not old, and she has been pampered all year round, but her temples are already gray.

Su Jingyan naturally wouldn't mind the empress dowager's frustrating words, she said, "Auntie, I understand what you mean."

The queen mother said: "Yi'er saw Concubine Wen's dystocia back then, and he didn't want you to have another child because he cared too much about you. Don't argue with him, just try to conceive, and it can be postponed for another two years. After all, every year is still young."

Su Jing said, "Yes."

……

At the end of February, He Lianqiao moved to a new house.

The mansion that Xiao Yi rewarded He Lianqiao was next to the Su Mansion. It used to be the mansion of Princess Rongde's son, but the county prince followed Xiao Ting's rebellion, so the mansion was taken back by the royal family.

It happened to be a reward for He Lianqiao. He only needs to do a little cleaning and change the furniture, and He Lianqiao can move in.

He Lianqiao brought the maids from the palace, and called all the people from Baishan Hall to live in the courtyard, and the courtyard immediately became lively.

He Lianqiao held a small housewarming party, and only invited Su Jingyan, Xiao Yi Niannian, and He Zhimin, and the rest were all from Baishantang.

After the banquet was over, Su Liu pretended to be drunk, lying on the table unable to move.

Seeing Su Liu's blushing appearance, Su Jingyan couldn't help shaking her head, her nephew couldn't even pretend to be drunk, and she didn't know how to apply some blush.

Xiao Yi hugged Niannian and said, "Ayan, it's getting late, let's go back to the palace."

Xiao Yi looked at Su Jingyan's expression, as if he wanted to expose Su Liu.

Su Jingyan walked out of the gate, and then said to Xiao Yi: "This kid Su Liu is too disrespectful to the Su family. He pretended to be drunk and stayed in other people's homes. Having such a nephew is an insult to my Su family."

Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Su Liu also wants you to be an aunt as soon as possible."

Su Jingyan: "..."

inside the house.

He Lianqiao looked at Su Liu who was pretending to be drunk and said, "Your house is right next door. If you still pretend to be drunk, I'll throw you over the wall."

How dare Su Liu pretend to be drunk, pulled He Lianqiao into his arms and said, "Lianqiao, I seem to be poisoned again!"

He Lianqiao glanced at Su Liu and said, "It's not good for us, what if we have a baby?"

Su Liu said: "I will be careful..."

He Lianqiao looked at Su Liu and said, "Go inside."

After entering the room, Su Liu couldn't bear to push He Lianqiao against the wooden door, but before he could do anything, Hu Wei's voice sounded outside the door.

"Where is Miracle Doctor here? Qi Yue's life is at stake, please ask Miracle Doctor He for help."
