Chapter 82
Chapter 82
On the evening of the 15th day of the first lunar month, the Yan Palace held another family banquet.
King Yan and Concubine Xu sat side by side on the chair, drinking and eating meat for a while. Their faces were flushed, as they were obviously in a good mood.
Yin Hui looked at her father-in-law from a distance, and remembered that King Yan in his previous life got so thin on losing weight after suffering from toothache for more than two months. Fortunately, people who had a foundation in martial arts were fast to recover. When the toothache no longer affected his eating, King Yan soon recovered.
After the banquet was over, Yin Hui and Wei Luo followed the other brothers back to the east side.
There was a lantern festival outside, and lanterns were hung everywhere in the palace, which was very beautiful to look at along the way.
Wei Shan asked Ji Xianxian, “Second sister-in-law, will you still go out to visit the Lantern Festival later?”
Yin Hui couldn’t help pricking up her ears, if Ji Xianxian and Wei Yan also went out, everyone would run into each other.
Holding the hand stove, Ji Xianxian sprayed a cloud of white mist first, and said in disgust, “No, it’s too cold.”
Wei Shan: “Weren’t you used to going there the past few years?”
Ji Xianxian said, “I have gone there too many times before, and because of that there is nothing new to see, so I decided not to go again.”
She was considered newly married then, and she was in a fresh relationship with Wei Yan and Pingcheng was also new for her, so she took Wei Yan out to have fun. Not only could she show Xu Qingwan how much Wei Yan loves her, but she could also do her best. Since, she had given birth to two children, and although she still cared about Wei Yan, she was no longer interested in taking him out to have fun in the cold winter night. She just wanted to get into bed early and sleep comfortably.
Wei Yan, who was walking in front, was also paying attention to the conversation between his wife and sister. He was relieved to hear Ji Xianxian’s answer.
Why should they go out? A few days ago, his father took him to ride a horse. He had a runny nose for two days. If he went out that night, he might get sick.
Wei Luo looked ahead and had other thoughts in his mind. Madam Yin must have been envious of the second brother’s willingness to go out with the second sister-in-law, so she made such a request when she seized the opportunity.
He tilted his head and looked back.
Yin Hui walked forward. When he turned his head, she noticed it of course, and when their eyes met, Yin Hui smiled.
Wei Luo immediately turned back.
In Chengxin Hall, Jinzhan and Yinzhan had already prepared the things that the madam would take when going out, which were two delicate and small hand stoves, two Tang Pozi (hot water bag ancient style), and of course they prepared the five precious books in a box .
Xiao Heng was still awake, sitting firmly on the bed, watching the maids circle around his mother.
Wei Luo was waiting in front. Yin Hui didn’t want to delay, after putting on the cloak, Yin Hui went over and kissed the little guy.
“Xiao Heng, you’re still young. When you grow up, mother will take you out to play again.”
Xiao Heng was easy to coax. The wet nurse took a cloth tiger to divert his attention, and Yin Hui took the opportunity to leave.
There was no wind that night, but the air was cold. After joining Wei Luo, Yin Hui handed over a hand stove.
Wei Luo answered her, “I am not cold.”
He had drank some wine at the banquet and he felt too hot wearing the cloak.
Yin Hui handed over the extra hand stove to Jinzhan.
The masters and servants walked outside the gate silently.
Donghua Gate was the closest to the east side of the palace, but Yin Hui could only go through that gate when Wei Luo was there. Without the company of Wei Luo and other brothers, the ladies in the inner room could only go through the Houzai Gate in the north.
When the gate guard saw Wei Luo, he immediately opened the door and let him go.
The carriage was ready outside. Jinzhan and Yinzhan first put Tang Pozi, hot tea and other things into the carriage, and after tidying up, the two maids jumped down. They didn’t need to go together that night.
The couple got into the carriage, and Chang Feng followed outside on horseback, and they set off.
In the carriage, Yin Hui was holding a hand stove in her hands. Her body was warm enough, but her feet were not.
Since she was going out to enjoy the lanterns, she couldn’t wear the heavy shoe covers which would affect her walking. Fortunately, she walked a couple of times just after dinner and felt better.
Sitting next to her, Wei Luo saw her attitude of being afraid of the cold, and asked, “Since you are so afraid of the cold, why do you want to go out to see the lanterns?”
‘Just because you want to compete with the second sister-in-law, you do these self-inflicted things? ‘
Naturally, Yin Hui couldn’t tell the truth. Hearing the mockery in Wei Luo’s tone, she turned her eyes and lowered her head, “I want you to accompany me.”
The voice was soft and affectionate. Wei Luo pursed his lips, looking out the window.
Well, it would be only that time.
There was nothing to say along the way, the carriage went to her natal house first.
Wei Luo asked Yin Hui to hand over the box to Chang Feng, who went in and delivered it to Yin Yong. He wanted to return home early and didn’t want to waste time being polite.
“Let’s go.”
As soon as Chang Feng took the box, Wei Luo told the coachman to leave. Chang Feng was not surprised. Apparently Wei Luo had told him beforehand that he would leave after delivering the books.
Yin Hui could only glance at the gate of her house eagerly. But she had stayed at her home for one night a while ago, and she would see them often in the future, so there was no need to feel too sorry.
She just felt sorry for her grandfather, who would definitely rush out later, but he wouldn’t be able to see her carriage.
Because of the distress, Yin Hui didn’t even bother to pretend to be excited. She lowered her eyes and stared blankly at the boots on her feet.
Wei Luo also cast his gaze over.
She was wearing a pair of apricot-yellow satin boots. She seemed to have put a lot of thought into dressing up recently. The satin boots alone were exquisitely embroidered. The dark green lotus leaves supported a bright red lotus flower with some lilies. It was just that the night was cold and the tourists and common people were rushing to see the lanterns. Who would notice that she was wearing such a pair of good boots?
