The Imperial Master nodded indifferently and walked forward.
Not long after walking, she met Duan Ruoge. She couldn't see the boredom in her eyes and kept getting entangled in him.
After Feng Liuyun said a few words to send the person away crying, he somehow remembered the princess who could understand people's emotions very well.
Gentle and knowledgeable, his presence is not strong.
In comparison, he felt that this person was much better.
Duan Ruoge came out of the Imperial Garden, covered his face and ran towards Jiying Hall with tears in his eyes.
"Ruo Ge, Ruo Ge."
He called Duan Ruoge several times before he heard it. He turned around and saw that it was his uncle who loved him.
There were still tears in his eyes, his mouth was depressed with sadness, and his voice was muffled.
"Uncle Emperor."
Duan Xuanyi felt very distressed when he saw her like this, and quickly offered the rare thing in his hand.
"Ruo Ge, look, this is a revolving lantern that I bought all over the city. The patterns inside can rotate when you turn it. It's like a troupe singing. It's really interesting."
"Yeah?"
Duan Ruoge was dubious, took the lamp in his hand, turned it around, and the patterns inside immediately started spinning.
"Huh? It seems to be a story about turning into a butterfly. Interesting, really interesting."
Her tears turned into laughter and she immediately became happy.
Duan Xuanyi also became happy. He was always used to this. When he saw Ruoge in a bad mood, he eagerly joined her to make fun for her.
"Like it?"
"I like it, thank you, uncle, you are so kind to me."
…
Jiying Palace.
Yun Hanqing was led to a seat by the palace maid and sat down. She looked around and saw that everyone was almost there.
After a while, the emperor and queen also took their seats, leaving only the princess and the prince.
"Where's this girl Ruoge? She's running out on such an important day."
This is the sound of pampering.
"Princess Xuan, where is the prince?"
This is a serious accusation.
Yun Hanqing stood up, bent her knees and wanted to apologize for her husband, when she heard the lively laughter outside.
"Father, Queen and Queen, do you think the lamp in my hand looks good?"
The sound arrives before the person arrives.
Duan Ruoge held the most beautiful lamp, rushed in triumphantly, and sat down at the top next to the queen.
It is necessary to stay up late on New Year's Eve. Although it is not the Lantern Festival, bright lights are necessary, but it is not the time to enjoy lanterns at this time, so what she is holding is the most special thing in the whole palace.
A lamp like her shines brightly on the table and shines on the fiery red fox cloak. The color is warm and makes the person more delicate and bright.
As expected, I was really pampered and had all the good things.
Duan Xuanyi followed behind her, with a doting smile on her face. His eyes followed her until she sat down, then bent down to salute.
"Greetings to the Emperor."
"Well, let's go back."
Seeing the two of them coming in together, the queen knew that Duan Xuanyi must have gone to coax her daughter again, and the anger in her heart disappeared.
She glanced at Yun Hanqing lightly and said:
"Princess, please sit down too."
"yes."
Yun Hanqing's knees were bent for a long time, and her legs were still shaking when she sat down.
Duan Xuanyi finished the ceremony and sat next to Yun Hanqing.
"Why didn't the princess come to Jiying Palace with the princess? Didn't I ask the boy serving in the study to give you instructions?"
He said this with a questioning meaning.
If the princess and Ruoge came together, maybe they wouldn't run into Feng Liuyun's posturing guy, and she wouldn't be so sad.
Yun Hanqing had just been accused by the queen for not traveling with the prince, and now she was accused by her husband for not taking care of the princess. Anyone who knew about it could not stand this grievance.
Ling Yu wanted to speak out to complain, but Yun Hanqing quietly pulled her sleeves.
"When I arrived, the princess had already gone to find the Imperial Master. I didn't know the specific whereabouts. I was afraid of delaying the banquet, so I didn't wait for the princess. When I left Wuyang Palace, I asked the palace attendants to leave a message for the princess."
She only stated the facts and would not add some emotional words like Ling Yu did.
Duan Xuanyi didn't even think about it and directly persuaded his wife to give in.
"Ruoge is still a little girl. She likes to chase people when she gets excited. I won't wait for you if I don't wait for you. As the emperor's aunt, you should be more generous and don't get angry with her."
"I know."
Yun Hanqing spoke sensible words, was soft and generous.
Ling Yu felt very sorry for her young lady. The prince was good at everything, but he doted on the princess too much. Every time something like this happened, he always asked the young lady to give in and be tolerant.
The emperor's sister-in-law is more generous. The young lady is only half a year older than the princess, so why should she be so tolerant in everything?
No one knows these inner thoughts.
Duan Xuanyi finally looked at his princess, she was soft and shy, but it was a pity that her timid temperament ruined her a little.
But the love for herself in her eyes made up for everything.
The love in his eyes was thick, and it reminded him of Ruoge's devotion to the Imperial Master. Duan Xuanyi's eyes showed dissatisfaction and asked:
"Do you think I'm better looking or the National Master is better looking?"
This was a strange and dilemma question, but Yun Hanqing did not hesitate.
"The world loves skin and skin, and it is natural for the Imperial Master to be pure and beautiful. But the prince is resolute and fierce, invincible on the battlefield, and ensuring peace for one side is the most dazzling existence in the hearts of me... and the people of the dynasty."
Duan Xuanyi's mood rose visibly, and soon he felt a little disappointed.
What's the use in her opinion? In Ruoge's eyes, only the National Master Qian Wan is good.
Duan Xuanyi was not in a high mood, and he did not extend his chopsticks to the table very often.
Yun Hanqing recalled the scenes of dining together in the house in the past, and virtuously gave him his favorite dishes.
"My lord, please try this."
"No, I just drink."
Duan Xuanyi held the pot and drank cup after cup with a gloomy look on his face.
…
The New Year's Eve banquet was as usual, grand and grand, with rules and nothing new.
Yun Hanqing followed the homework she had done in advance and quickly passed the banquet.
As the night got darker, the emperor's relatives and courtiers asked him to resign one after another.
Yun Hanqing also left with Duan Xuanyi. The two sat in the same carriage and were silent all the way.
"My lord, you drank a lot of wine at the banquet. Please have a cup of tea to wake up."
Yun Hanqing poured a cup of hot tea prepared by a servant in advance and handed it to him.
"Need not."
Duan Xuanyi felt bad when he thought of Duan Ruoge being depressed because of the Imperial Master. He was drunk and couldn't think of anything better, so he wouldn't drink any tea to relieve his hangover.
Yun Hanqing's face was pale and he looked timid.
When he arrived at Prince Xuan's Mansion, he lifted the curtain and got out of the car.
When Yun Hanqing supported Ling Yu's men on the carriage, they realized that there was no sign of the prince at the door.
After returning to the main room, after taking a bath and changing clothes, I heard a servant reporting that the prince was staying in Concubine Liu's courtyard.
Yun Hanqing sat in front of the mirror, letting Ling Yu twist her hair with a clean handkerchief, her eyes filled with water.
On the New Year's Eve reunion night, the prince did not save her any face. Yun Hanqing was a little frustrated, and even Ling Yu couldn't stop herself from muttering about the prince's bad qualities in her ears.
That night, she fell asleep with tears in her eyes.
The next day, which was also the first day of the new year, Duan Xuanyi took a rest and did not have to go to the court.
Probably because he sobered up and realized what he had done was wrong, he went to the main courtyard early in the morning to apologize to Yun Hanqing.
