The Princess Kicks Down the Protagonists

Chapter 308 Fireworks at Baoyue Tower

Jingyan was still thinking about the bustle of Baoyue Tower. When the banquet was halfway through, he found an excuse to say something to Meiruo and quietly left with Qing'er.

Meiruo and Wanhui were surrounded by a group of ladies at this time and could not get away for a while.

In the past, when Mei Ruo was at the border, she didn't have to worry about these things, but now that she is back, all the ladies who want to get close to her have come over.

As for Wanhui, she is destined to be the focus in such occasions where ladies gather.

In addition, the Fucha family and Prince Guo's family became in-laws, which gave the ladies a reasonable topic to talk about.

Meiruo and Wanhui could no longer have private conversations.

After Jingyan and Qing'er quietly left the hall, they couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Qing'er, did you just see that envious look in Mother's eyes when we said we were leaving? I'm sure that if I just said to her, 'Why don't we go together,' she would have left with us immediately."

Qing'er nodded. "Yes, Aunt Hui may have been through this kind of situation many times, so she can handle it with ease, but Mother is obviously tired."

The two walked hand in hand towards Baoyue Tower.

When they arrived at Baoyue Tower, they discovered that there were two unexpected people there.

There was the Empress Dowager who refused to attend the palace banquet during the day saying it was too lively, and there was also the Queen who left early saying she was tired.

They are all hidden in Baoyue Tower.

There were many fireworks piled up in the yard downstairs, which were only used during the Chinese New Year. The Baoyue Building was decorated with all kinds of lanterns, which was very beautiful.

The three of them sat together drinking tea, eating snacks and watching the opera on the stage. Compared with the previous time, it was so comfortable.

"Old Buddha, Auntie, you two are here too."

The Queen chuckled, "We've known for a while that the Emperor arranged a play for Hanxiang. The songs and dances in the palace are the same every year and boring, so we came."

Karl Lagerfeld also had the same idea.

Jing Yan sat down next to the old Buddha and sighed, "Or should I say that you guys are the ones who know how to enjoy it the most? This is much more interesting than listening to the emperor's uncle composing poetry."

The Empress Dowager naturally knew that the Emperor loved to write poetry. When she heard Jingyan's joke, she naturally knew what was going on at the banquet and laughed out loud, "You mischievous ghost, if your uncle knew about this, he would definitely give you a beating."

Jingyan acted scared and begged for mercy in a low voice, "Grandmother, I won't dare to do it again. Please don't let Uncle Huang know."

Hanxiang pulled Qing'er to her side and handed her a bowl of sugar water, smiling happily, "Just now the Queen said she would find an excuse to call you here, but I think there's no need to call you. You two clever girls will definitely find an opportunity to come here on your own."

Jingyan nodded. She said she wanted to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with Hanxiang, so she had to come. "Of course, but I think this scene has missed someone."

"Who?"

"My mother, she is listening to the emperor composing poetry in front, and she also has to chat with a large group of ladies. She is so pitiful."

The old lady thought of Mei Ruo's character, and she was also restless. She laughed out loud, "That's easy. Just say I sent her to talk. Quickly call her over to our place to have some fun."

"Great!"

When Nanny Fang heard this, she immediately ordered several palace maids from the Cining Palace to go and invite someone.

"I didn't expect the Imperial Household Department still had fireworks in stock." Jingyan still remembered the joy of setting off fireworks during the Chinese New Year.

"It's not inventory, it's something the Emperor just ordered the Imperial Household Department to make. It's the Mid-Autumn Festival, so we'll have some fun. There will be big fireworks after it's over."

Jingyan and Qing'er lit a few fireworks together and started playing in the yard. While the elders weren't paying attention, she whispered in Qing'er's ear, "I didn't expect that Uncle Huang is quite romantic."

Yes, the main purpose is to make Hanxiang happy, and it can also cheer up the other people watching the fireworks.

Soon, Mei Ruo came.

If someone can save her from danger, she is willing to go through fire and water.

Although Mei Ruo had never seen the Fragrant Concubine, she had heard Jing Yan talk about her several times, so she was very curious about this sweet and soft girl.

"Empress Xiang Fei, it's our first meeting, I hope I don't disturb you."

Hanxiang shook her head repeatedly. "Fujin, you're too polite. It would be more fun if we all got together. The show is about to start. Let's watch it first and then set off fireworks together later, okay?"

Although Hanxiang is the emperor's concubine, she is about the same age as Jingyan and Qing'er, so she always puts herself in the position of a junior in front of the queen.

Prince Guo's wife was so polite to her when they met for the first time that she was a little nervous.

But Hanxiang was worrying too much. Meiruo had not completely let go because she came without any prior notice and it was their first meeting, so she had not yet completely let go.

After watching two plays, she completely let go, and her slightly heroic laughter could be heard outside the courtyard.

When the palace banquet was coming to an end, the ministers also dispersed, and Mei Ruo had to leave the palace no matter how reluctant she was.

Jingyan and Qing'er saw Meiruo off together. They would not go back home tonight and would stay in the palace with the Empress Dowager.

Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and as usual the emperor will stay in the queen's palace.

A few years ago, when Xiaoyanzi and the Queen had a falling out, the Emperor had stopped setting foot in Jingren Palace. But since his last reconciliation with the Queen, the Emperor quietly restored this rule.

As a result, when the emperor sent his ministers off and rushed to Jingren Palace, the empress was not there.

The emperor thought about it and guessed that they were probably in the Cining Palace, but when he ran to the Cining Palace, he found nothing. After asking, he found out that everyone had gone to Baoyue Tower.

The emperor was extremely surprised. When did his cold and old-fashioned queen actually set foot in Baoyue Tower?

Strange.

The emperor rushed to Baoyue Tower out of curiosity, but before he got close, he heard the noise in the yard.

Someone was singing a little tune on the stage, and Jingyan, Qing'er and Hanxiang were pulling the queen to set off fireworks.

At first, the queen was a little embarrassed. As the queen, how could she play with children? But Jingyan and Hanxiang kept nagging her, and even the Empress Dowager let the queen play.

The queen couldn't help but stretched out her hand.

The old lady sat in the main seat with a smile on her face, watching everyone making a fuss.

Because the masters were in a good mood today, the young palace maids soon joined in. For a while, the courtyard was filled with laughter and was very lively.

This was the scene when the emperor arrived.

The emperor was stunned when he saw the queen also setting off fireworks in the crowd.

The queen was the first person to react. After casually stuffing the fireworks in her hand into the hands of the giggling Rong Mama, the queen coughed lightly and bowed.

Only then did everyone realize that the emperor had arrived and they all bowed.

The emperor came back to his senses, looked at everyone's smiling faces, and rolled up his sleeves with a smile.

"Hey, you guys go ahead and don't worry about me. I'm happy today, so I'll set off some fireworks too."

After hearing what the emperor said, the palace maids felt relieved and continued to play.

The Queen and Hanxiang also looked at each other with a smile.

The emperor is the one who truly loves to play.

Everyone set off fireworks together in Baoyue Tower. Before it ended, the emperor set off the big fireworks he had prepared.

It was not until very late that the old lady could no longer bear it, and everyone dispersed with a sense of reluctance.
