Chapter 69
"There are too many people on the street, and the carriage is blocked halfway, so it is late!" Lin Shuran hurriedly explained the reason for being late.

"It's not too late, it's not too late, it's a good time to enjoy the lanterns!" Qiu smiled and welcomed Lin Shuran to the viewing platform, "Look at the Qiushui River over there. The dragon lanterns have just been lit, and there will be lanterns in a while It's acting!"

Both Lin Shuran and Lei Yingying looked in the direction Qiu said, and sure enough, rows of long lanterns that looked like giant dragons were lit up, and the beauty and grandeur of the lanterns was even more evident when viewed from a high place.

Lei Zhanpeng called Xu Junze and Du Sheng to sit down and drink tea first, Lei Yan and Xu Mingchen went to the street to watch the lanterns, the younger Xu Mingsong and Xu Mingsheng obediently followed Xu Minghao and Xu Mingxuan to listen to books in the teahouse next door. Zhanpeng also specially arranged a box for them, with food and drink in it, so they were extremely comfortable.

The whole capital city was full of lights and festoons, and it was very lively. Men and women shuttled under the lanterns, and every face was so vivid. Lin Shuran showed a knowing smile. Maybe at this moment she really integrated into this time and space, and no longer felt I am a foreigner.

"The lanterns in the capital are still the most beautiful!" Lei Yingying looked at the lanterns like a river of stars with admiration and praised, then turned to Lin Shuran curiously and asked, "Sister, how come I never knew that you would still tie the knot?" Lanterns? The lanterns you sent someone to the house, Brother Yuan and Brother Bai both like them very much, and your hands are too skillful!"

"That's right, the lanterns are so novel and cute, Brother Bo is still arguing to go to your General's Mansion, saying that there must be more beautiful lanterns in your house!" Qiu Shi also said with a smile on the side.

Lin Shuran smiled embarrassedly, and replied: "I was also idle and bored when I was in the farm, and I learned from the fifth uncle of the farm, and I can only make some simple lanterns, just to coax the children. Just dislike it!"

"How can they dislike it, everyone can't be happy!" Qiu Shi now likes Lin Shuran more and more. She is not much older than Lin Shuran, and always feels that Lin Shuran has a kind of stability and restraint that she needs to learn.

Lei Yingying was already close to Lin Shuran, and seeing that her sister-in-law also wanted to befriend Lin Shuran, she felt even happier. In the future, when someone bullied Lin Shuran in the capital, she would have another reliance.

"Sister-in-law, why haven't father and mother come yet?" Seeing that the time was getting later and later, Lei Yi and Yang Shi who had planned to watch the lantern together never showed up.

At the moment, there were only three couples of them on the top floor, and the three men were chatting in low voices. Seeing that there were no outsiders, Qiu pulled Lei Yingying and Lin Shuran to sit beside her, and whispered, "Father and mother, come in." It seems that Concubine Su's health in the palace is even worse!"

The 26th of the first lunar month is Concubine Su's birthday. There are rumors in the palace that her health has not been very good. The Queen Mother agreed to let the King of Yue return to Beijing this year because of her old age. Otherwise, the King of Yue would not be able to enter the capital without the Queen Mother's consent. Beijing.

"I've heard from my mother that the imperial doctors are helpless to deal with Concubine Su's illness, and she is also struggling. All these years, she has spent a lot of energy for King Ling and King Yue. Everyone in and outside the capital knows that her gang is always troublesome. Grandchildren, you don’t hurt her every day.” Lei Yingying only met Concubine Su once. Concubine Su likes to be quieter than the Queen Mother, and her family members who are close to her usually see her twice. The queen mother is not close to anyone else in the harem.

Lei Yingying's words reminded Lin Shuran of the last time she saw the Queen and Concubine Li in the queen mother's palace. At that time, it was Concubine Su's grandson and the queen's son who had a fight. The queen went to complain to the queen mother, and finally went to find her The emperor commented.

"Sigh, neither Lord Ling nor Concubine Ling are of the flamboyant nature, but marrying an imperial concubine who is domineering and domineering, no one cares about her, and she dared to go to the palace to play and roll, if it wasn't for the fact that she was married to Aza from afar. The princess of the royal family of the Qige tribe, how can the queen mother and the emperor tolerate it, the queen has suffered several times at her hands!" Qiu Shi said that these did not avoid Lin Shuran.

She knew that Lin Shuran had stayed in the farm for the past three years and ignored world affairs, but now that she is the wife of the general and the head of the family, she must know more about certain things, especially those in the back house in the capital and even in the palace. In order not to accidentally offend someone or be bullied.

"It's better to stay away from a woman like Princess Ling, but sister, do you still remember that just a year before I got married, didn't the two of us meet Princess Ling in Cuju Garden? I took another look at her, she was about to beat me when she pulled out the whip, and said that I looked at her with contempt, if you hadn't stopped me, I would have fought with her, I have never seen such an unreasonable person What!" Lei Yingying still feels upset when she thinks about it now, according to her temperament, if someone beats her, she will definitely return it back ten times and a hundred times, except for the setback in marrying Xiao Chen since she was a child, Her treatment is higher than that of the princess in the palace.

After being reminded by Lei Yingying, Lin Shuran suddenly remembered this incident. In his impression, there was an arrogant and domineering woman, with fiery red clothes, a long whip with thorns, and an incomparably gorgeous face.

"In the future, when you see Princess Ling, just avoid her, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. Although you don't need to be afraid of her, after all, behind her is the Azaqige tribe."

The Azaqige tribe is an independent tribe between the Jin Dynasty and the Xia Kingdom. The people in this tribe are all ethnic minorities, but their folk customs are sturdy, they are good at riding and shooting, they have many cattle, sheep and horses, and everyone in the tribe can fight. They have always been friends, and because of this, Xia Guo did not dare to provoke the Jin Dynasty easily, and the emperor also valued this tribe very much.

As the eldest concubine of the Duke of Zhenguo, Qiu is used to thinking long-term and thoughtful about everything, and her temperament has always been prudent and cautious. In her opinion, the women in the back house are no different from the courtiers in the court, and they should be treated with care. is.

Lin Shuran nodded, and Lei Yingying was very dissatisfied, but she was not a girl who was ignorant and indifferent to world affairs before, and some things and people had to endure no matter how powerful they should be.

"Mother, mother!" While the Qiu family were talking, they saw Xu Minghao and Xu Mingxuan running up. Seeing that there were many outsiders besides Lin Shuran, especially Xu Junze, Xu Minghao suddenly lost his voice and timidly He raised his eyes to look at Lin Shuran, and didn't even dare to take a big step.

"Why does your son look like a mouse seeing a cat now!" Lei Yingying beckoned Xu Minghao and Xu Mingxuan to her side, and Qiu Shi was also smiling at the side. It was Xu Minghao and Xu Mingxuan who rescued Lei Hao that day Bai, otherwise Lei Haobo might have been beaten to death by Qi Yang, she was also full of affection for these two children, "Don't be afraid, come quickly!"

"Aren't you listening to the book? Why are you running up now?" Lin Shuran didn't notice that there were other people behind the two of them, so she hurriedly asked, "Where are the younger brothers?"
