Save the Bachelor of Heaven

  Chapter 2798 2800 [Buddha Festival]

   Half a month later, it was the Buddha Bathing Festival.

  Before the Buddha Bathing Festival, Xiang Nante took Qu Xiaofeng and Zhao Sese to meet the queen Zhang Meiniang.

  Different from the drama, in order to act, Li Chengyin numbs Zhang Meiniang and Gao Ming, deliberately neglects Qu Xiaofeng, and dotes on Zhao Sesel, making their relationship turbulent.

  Xiang Nan didn't bother so much.

  He has a good relationship with Qu Xiaofeng and Zhao Sese.

   Every ten days, I spend three days with Qu Xiaofeng, two days with Zhao Sesel, and sleep by myself for the remaining five days.

   Neither appears to favor anyone alone, nor appears to be indulging in beauty,

   "Baby pays homage to the queen~" Xiang Nan and the three bowed and saluted.

   "Get up." Zhang Meiniang said with a smile, "Take a seat~"

"Thank you mother." Xiang Nan smiled, and then sat down with Qu Xiaofeng and Zhao Sesel, "Mother, it will be the Buddha's Day in a few days. My son specially made a batch of fragrant cakes. Refresh your mind and improve your mind, calm your heart Tongqiao, I hope the queen mother will like it."

  After he became the prince, he gradually became estranged from Gao Ming. He used to go there once every two or three days, but now that he has ascended the throne, he has never been to Gaofu again.

   On the contrary, he only came to Qingning Palace once a week before, but now he comes every one or two days.

  Xiang Nan knew that the conflict between him and Gao Ming could not be reconciled.

   Gao Ming hoped that he would be as weak as possible, so that he would be more easily manipulated by the Gao family. But Xiang Nan didn't want to be his puppet, and Xiang Nan would definitely get rid of a powerful minister like him.

  But the conflict between him and Zhang Meiniang is not that big.

  Although Zhang Meiniang also wants to control him, she is not Wu Zetian after all, and she has no delusional idea of ​​listening to politics behind the curtain. She just wanted Xiang Nan to get closer to her and help her natal family get more benefits.

   Xiang Nan was completely satisfied with this, so Zhang Meiniang was naturally very satisfied with him.

   "Yin'er has a heart." Zhang Meiniang smiled and nodded.

  …

   At this moment, Cao Ji shouted, "The emperor is here!"

  Zhang Meiniang, Xiang Nan and the others stood up to greet each other, and saw Li Xi walking into the hall walking like a dragon and a tiger.

   "No courtesy, no courtesy, no courtesy. We are all one family, and it would be uncomfortable to have so many etiquettes." Li Wei waved his hands and smiled, and then sat on the queen's front seat.

   "Why is Your Majesty honored to visit Qingning Palace today?" the queen asked with a smile.

   "In a few days, it will be the Buddha Bathing Festival. This year is different from previous years, because the prince and princess have been conferred and announced to the world.

  So I want to take this opportunity to let the crown prince and princess concubine, on behalf of the royal family, receive envoys from various countries. In this way, it is good to practice and practice! Li Zhen explained, "Queen, what do you think?" "

   "The concubine feels very good." The queen laughed when she heard it.

   "By the way, you told me before that the uniforms of your prince and princess were incomplete due to the rush of time, right? So how are you preparing now?" Li Xi asked again.

   "What a coincidence, take a look, Your Majesty. The casual clothes and skirts have been delivered, and they are about to be tried on by the crown prince and princess! Would you like to take a look, Your Majesty?" the queen laughed hurriedly.

   "Crown Princess, go over and have a look, is it suitable?" Li Xi asked Qu Xiaofeng.

   "The silk and weaving bureau in the palace is different, so exquisite!" Qu Xiaofeng walked over, looked at the dress for the Buddha's Day, and couldn't help but praise.

   "Xiao Feng, you have to keep this dress carefully. It is specially prepared for the Buddha Bathing Festival. According to the rituals of the palace, you can't wear it on weekdays." The queen reminded.

   "Oh~" Qu Xiaofeng nodded, "Thank you Empress Empress, Xiaofeng understands."

  Xiang Nan noticed that Zhao Sesel, who was on the side, looked a little embarrassed.

   It's no wonder that as a woman, Qu Xiaofeng, as a concubine, can accompany Xiang Nan to meet envoys from various countries, accompany the emperor and empress to attend the Buddha Bathing Festival, and even wear special dresses in the palace.

   And she has nothing, it is really unfair!

  …

  After meeting with the emperor and empress, Xiang Nan, Qu Xiaofeng and Zhao Sese returned to the East Palace.

   "Thurse, I'll give you something nice~" Xiang Nan smiled and held out a big box.

   "What is it, Your Highness?" Zhao Sesur asked suspiciously.

  Xiang Nan smiled, opened the box, and inside were squares carved from sapphire, with different symbols on them.

   "Your Highness, what is this?" Zhao Sesur was still puzzled.

   "This is called the mahjong tile." Xiang Nan explained, then laid out mahjong and explained how it was played.

  The mahjong card is said to have originated from Zheng He’s voyages to the West in the early Ming Dynasty. Because the crew was bored on board, the mahjong card was invented for entertainment. After its birth, the mahjong brand became very popular, and soon became popular all over the country.

  Life in the palace is actually very boring. These concubines don't have to work to make money, don't have to do housework, and have a lot of free time. It is also a good way to get together to play mahjong and have fun.

  Zhao Sesue is smart and quickly memorized how to play mahjong cards.

"Mahjong card is played by four people. From now on, you can play with little girls like Jin Er in your own palace. You can also play with Xiao Feng, Yong Ning, and Luo Xi." Xiang Nan laughed, "We are all a family. You should improve your relationship and don't always think about what you have and what you don't have."

   "Yes, Your Highness, Sese knows." Zhao Sese nodded, hearing Xiang Nan's implication.

   "I know you're smart." Xiang Nan smiled, "Okay, let's play, I'm going to Hongwen Library to repair my books."

   "Sent off Your Highness~" Zhao Sese and Jin'er sent Xiang Nan out of the hall together.

   "Miss, Your Highness is still very concerned about you." After Xiang Nan left, Jin'er said to Zhao Sesel.

  Zhao Sese sighed.

  She could tell that although Xiang Nan cared about her and was very polite to her, he didn't love her.

  However, what made her feel a little more at ease was that Xiang Nan didn't love Qu Xiaofeng either, so she didn't have to be too upset.

   "It doesn't matter, there is still more time. I am smarter, more capable, gentle, and considerate than the princess. Besides, my brother has also become the servant of the household department, so he can also help the prince in the court.

  As long as I work harder, the prince will definitely spoil me more in time. ’ she thought to herself.

  …

  Five days later, it was the Buddha Bathing Festival.

  Xiang Nan and Qu Xiaofeng woke up early in the morning, washed and dressed. First, the emperor and queen went to Wanfo Temple to worship the Buddha, fasted the monks, performed the ritual of bathing the Buddha, and sprinkled clean water on the Buddha statue to wash the dust.

  Then splashing water on each other, putting on high rises, racing dragon boats, driving swings, receiving envoys from various countries... It can be said to be very lively.

  Since his big wedding, Qu Xiaofeng has rarely left the palace.

  It was so easy to go to the street this time, which made her very happy. Especially when receiving envoys from various countries, she met Qi Liken, an envoy sent by the King of Xizhou.

   "Qiliken, are my parents okay?" Qu Xiaofeng asked with a smile.

   "Okay, your majesty and concubine are very healthy. This winter, your majesty hunted and shot to death two snow leopards, five gray wolves, and six blue sheep." Qi Liken said hastily.

   "That's good." Qu Xiaofeng nodded.

   "Princess Nine, Your Majesty even asked Wei Chen to bring you your favorite wine." Qi Liken smiled again.

   "That's great, Dad still loves me." Qu Xiaofeng said happily when he heard it.
