"Today is the Chinese Valentine's Day. You can dine as you like. I ordered people to light the candles around Baizi Pond. After dinner, you can go and pray on your own!"

The dinner officially began, and the palace maids served special dishes for the Chinese Valentine's Day one after another, including lily and lotus seed soup that symbolized a hundred years of love, halva with the image of the Weaver Girl, as well as Qiaoguo, dumplings and other foods.

The dancer came on stage to perform, and the people from the orchestra department began to play music.

After the banquet started, Xuan Ming and Yun Yige sat under the concubine. After Yun Yige scooped a bowl of soup for the concubine, the concubine patted her hand lovingly, indicating that she did not need to take care of her and that there was no need to be restrained here. , use whatever you like, don’t go hungry.

Then, she picked up the dumplings on the plate, picked up a piece and put it in her bowl. These Chinese Valentine's Day dumplings are very particular. There are three dumplings with red dates, copper coins and needles in them. Those who eat copper coins are blessed, and those who eat needles are skillful. , early marriage with red dates.

Because there might be needles in the dumplings, everyone was very careful when eating them. Yun Yige smiled and agreed. After thanking the concubine, he slowly ate the dumplings and suddenly bit into something hard. When he looked closely, he saw that it was exactly the same thing. A copper coin.

"Blessed are those who get copper coins." Xuan Ming whispered in her ear.

Yun Yige smiled and nodded. Now, her family is safe and well, and she is very satisfied to be married to the man she loves and loves her.

Then she picked up a piece of lotus root sandwich and ate it: "Well, this lotus root sandwich is good, the outside is crispy and the meat filling inside is not greasy at all."

Seeing that she was enjoying the meal, Xuan Ming smiled and brought the plate of lotus root clippers to Yun Yige's hand. At the same time, he ordered Qian Sui behind him to go to the imperial dining room to ask the chef for the recipe, and wait until he returned to Hades' Mansion to give it to the cook. The cook often makes this dish for her.

The three of them were enjoying themselves happily. Not far away, two eyes were staring at them, their eyes full of envy, jealousy and desire.

"Wen Rui, see Pluto and Princess Pluto." Chu Wenrui walked straight to the table where the three of them were sitting, curtsied and saluted.

Her eyebrows are curved, her figure is slender, her neck is white and slender, and her gestures are very temperamental. Perhaps she is overthinking and too thoughtful. Although she tries her best to make a gentle and kind expression, she can't hide it between her eyebrows. Shrewd and mean, but also a little tired. .

"Why are the whole family so polite? You think so?"

Concubine Shunren's brother's wife, Ju Shi, smiled and was about to sit next to the concubine, but Grandma Zeng calmly stopped her.

Grandma Zeng spat in her heart. When she came in, she didn't bow like a concubine or a prince. She spoke so rudely and didn't even look at your status. Are you worthy of sitting next to the concubine? !

"Aunt, cousin, cousin." After listening to her mother's words, Chu Wenrui said again, her voice soft and delicate.

Looking at Chu Wenrui and then Concubine Shunren, Yun Yige realized that Concubine Shunren's mother's family name was Chu, and Chu Wenrui was the niece of Concubine Shunren's mother's family.

"In this main hall, it is more appropriate to use honorific titles."

The concubine hadn't said anything yet, but Ju didn't notice anything. Aunt Zeng cleared her throat and reminded Ju to pay attention to her words and deeds, but Ju seemed not to have heard, her eyes still staring at Xuan Ming. The more I look at it, the more I like it.

People said that Pluto's legs were useless and he would die soon, but she didn't believe this, so she asked a fortune teller to look at Xuan Ming's face from a distance. When she looked at Xuan Ming, she saw that the solar bones at the end of the eyebrows were bulging upwards, and the occipital bone was bulging. , is a very noble and excellent face. Although you will experience some difficulties and sufferings, you will eventually be rich and live a long life.

If his daughter could marry him, even if he didn't have her in his heart, he would not treat her badly, let alone his mother-in-law.

"Quick, sit next to your cousin." Seeing her standing aside blankly, Ju Shi pushed her.

"Mother..." Chu Wenrui's feet were unsteady, her body went limp and she was about to throw herself into Xuan Ming's arms. Zhu'er quickly stepped forward and grabbed Chu Wenrui, who was about to fall, and held her steady. Standing still, he said coldly and mockingly: "Cousin, please be careful. If you offend the prince and injure his leg, it will be an attempt to murder the prince."

Chu Wenrui's face turned pale and she couldn't help but look at Zhu'er twice. What an amazing maid!

Xuan Ming moved quietly and pulled Zhan Yue to sit down. There was no empty space next to him.Yun Yige turned to look at him and saw that the smile on his face was gone, and he had already returned to his cold and frosty look, keeping strangers away.

Seeing Zhu'er's behavior, Ju was unhappy. She raised her eyebrows, stared, and grabbed Zhu'er's arm: "You are such a cheap slave. How can you interrupt when the master is talking?!"

Yun Yige protected Zhu'er behind her, and Mother Zeng scolded her coldly: "How can I tolerate your dirty words in the back of this hall?"

When Ju saw that the faces of the concubine and Xuan Ming were not very good, she mumbled and closed her mouth.

Although Princess Shunren did not speak, she saw all this. Her sister-in-law, Ju Shi, was too unclear. She used to make people unhappy when she was in the palace. The older she got, the more annoying she became.

With her actions today, did she want Chu Wenrui to be stuffed into Hades' palace?Not long after Xuan Ming and Yun Yi Ge got married, they wanted to cause trouble for others.

It seemed that the child Wen Rui could not stay in the palace, so she had to find a family for her quickly.The concubine folded the Buddhist beads in her hand to calm herself down, thinking about writing a letter to her brother that night.

"Auntie, you have a few spots on your eyebrows. Don't get angry too often. It will hurt your liver and body." Yun Yige kindly reminded her. Seeing that Ju was about to have another attack, Aunt Zeng winked and a palace maid came over immediately. He invited the two of them to sit in a corner.

There was an undercurrent surging here, and on the other side, after having some meals, the ladies couldn't wait to leave the hall and gathered at the Baizi Pond, admiring the moon and begging for luck.It's a rare Chinese Valentine's Day, so they must seize the opportunity to pray to the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl to help them meet the right man.

The etiquette officers and referees are already in place, and the needlework equipment, tables, chairs and benches are also ready. The concubines are sitting on them, and the ladies are lining up below to participate in the competition.

The etiquette officer waved the small flag in his hand and shouted: "The seven-hole needle piercing competition is about to begin. Ladies, please sit down. The faster the piercing is, the more begging for tricks will win! The slower piercing will be the loser. After the game, we will Gifts are given to those who are lucky!”

"Game start!"

The lanterns on the building were lit instantly, and the ladies sat on their seats with breathless concentration to pierce the seven-hole needle.People kept raising the needles in their hands to signal to the ceremony officer that they had finished. The nuns standing on both sides checked and recorded the time and ranking of each person.

After several rounds of the competition, Concubine Wan, dressed in a bright palace dress, climbed up the stairs and cut out colorful silk threads. The colorful silk threads were thrown under the stage. The ladies competed for them. The one who picked up the silk threads with the most gorgeous ones won.

……

Here is the bustle of gongs and drums. On the other side, under the moon spring, Yun Jingzhu is sitting on a stone looking at the sky.

Behind him was the gurgling water, and the cold white moonlight poured on his body, adding a bit of unstained earthly temperament.

"What a beautiful little brother!"
