Chapter 57 Lantern Appreciation

Xiang Hongxuan sat in the Flying Feather Hall with a frown, he stared at the ministers on the bookcase, looking preoccupied. Since sending Ginkgo biloba to the Neiwei Mansion that day, Ling Xi has fallen ill in bed, and Ling Xi refused to take the decoction sent by the imperial doctors, seeing that the symptoms were getting more and more serious, Xiang Hongxuan felt sorry for Ling Xi and was angry with her.

Although he didn't let Ginkgo out of the Neiwei Mansion, Xiang Hongxuan still asked Xiao Dezi to bring a message to Ling Xi, saying that Ginkgo would not be tortured in the Neiwei Mansion, so Ling Xi reluctantly started taking medicine.

But it's been a month, Ling Xi's illness hasn't gotten better, and he hasn't seen Ling Xi again. He didn't go to Qingfeng Garden, and Ling Xi didn't come to Feiyu Palace, even if it was a New Year's ceremony, Ling Xi didn't attend the palace banquet because of his illness.

Xiang Hongxuan looked at the sweat towel in his hand, his heart was mixed, although the pain that pierced his heart a month ago didn't seem to be too strong, but as long as he thought of Ling Xi hiding another man in his heart, his heart would still ache faintly. In fact, after that day, he calmed down and thought about the whole process of the matter carefully, Ling Xi's performance was indeed unaware, only Ginkgo looked like he was protecting the brocade box to death, and Xiang Hongxuan felt that maybe the matter of this sweat towel really had nothing to do with Ling Xi.

Thinking of this, Xiang Hongxuan couldn't help but blame himself a little, he was afraid that it would make Ling Xi sad again, he thought about Ling Xi a little, and was very worried about her body. But these days, Ling Xi's avoidance and her concealment have made Xiang Hongxuan extremely disappointed. Xiang Hongxuan was a little unsure, was there really a man in Ling Xi's heart who couldn't let go?

And what made him even more upset was that the matter of searching for sweat towels in Qingfeng Garden, I don't know how, it spread out of the harem. It is said that the streets and alleys of Yicheng are talking about the fact that there are men's things in the queen's bedroom, and there are actually a few officials who play to him, saying that they want to rectify the harem, which is a big implication that Ling Xi, the queen, is not virtuous. Originally, Xiang Hongxuan asked the Internal Guard Office to handle this matter, but he didn't want anyone to know, but now that the former minister came out to intervene, things became complicated.

Xiao Dezi walked into the hall quickly, he looked at Xiang Hongxuan in contemplation, and whispered: "Your Majesty, Miss Ling Man is asking to see you outside the hall. ”

Xiang Hongxuan quickly came back to his senses from his contemplation, his face leaked displeasure, he didn't know what was going on that day, he went out of Qingfeng Garden to Qingyu Tower, maybe it was Ling Man's words that stimulated him, and Xiang Hongxuan was also very annoyed afterwards. Once Ling Man was the one he wanted to replace Ling Xi, but now Ling Man has become his woman, if Ling Xi knew about it, he would definitely be disappointed and sad.

"No, tell her I'm busy." Xiang Hongxuan said impatiently.

But Xiao Dezi still stood there motionless, as if there was still something.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Niangniang also sent someone from the palace to invite you to Xiyan Palace." Xiao Dezi whispered again.

Xiang Hongxuan frowned, Feng Yingying has changed a lot recently, and rarely loses her temper again, but during this time, Xiang Hongxuan was troubled by the sweat towel, plus Ling Xi was sick and avoided him, he didn't have the heart to go to the harem at all, Feng Yingying invited him to go now, which made him even more irritable.

"Tell Concubine Shu that I still have important things to do, and I will see her in a few days."

Xiao Dezi withdrew

Flying Feather Palace, Xiang Hongxuan's expression is still solemn, the entire palace is lifeless, there is no New Year's festive atmosphere, Xiang Hongxuan looked at the sky outside the hall, spring is coming, it seems to be vibrant, but his heart is extremely depressed. What is Ling Xi's heart? How to resolve the current dilemma? Xiang Hongxuan fell into deep thought again. [@#爱奇文学 &~Better and faster]

"Brother Huang, what are you looking at?"

Unconsciously, Xiang Hongxi walked into the inner hall and came to Xiang Hongxuan's side, he also looked at the sky outside the hall, but it didn't seem to be anything special.

"Lao Jiu, you will enter the palace in the first month, is there anything wrong?"

"Brother Huang, what can the younger brother do, is to see some gadgets interesting in Yicheng, bring them into the palace for you to see."

Saying that, Xiang Hongxi took out all kinds of exquisite ornaments from his arms and put them in front of Xiang Hongxuan's eyes.

"These are the most popular ornaments in Yicheng at the moment, and if the royal brother gives them to the ladies, they will definitely like them."

Xiang Hongxuan glanced at these ornaments, they were indeed quite exquisite, but Ling Xi didn't like jewelry and jade, so it shouldn't be of much use.

"Lao Jiu, you are really a master when it comes to coaxing women." Xiang Hongxuan began to joke with Xiang Hongxi.

Xiang Hongxi heard that Ling Man had entered the palace, although he said that he was here to accompany Ling Xi, but if Xiang Hongxi announced a holy decree and made her a palace concubine, then his years of waiting would be really in vain, so he found a reason to enter the palace in a hurry, and he also wanted to finish what he didn't say last time.

Xiang Hongxi knew that Xiang Hongxuan was very annoyed at the moment, Yicheng had a man's thing in Chuanqingfeng Garden, if it was before, it was estimated that Xiang Hongxuan would have abolished Ling Xi's position a long time ago, but Ling Xi was not only not punished, Xiang Hongxuan didn't even have a word of reproach, Xiang Hongxi remembered the scene when Xiang Hongxuan and Ling Xi played chess that day, it was obvious that Xiang Hongxuan had Ling Xi in his heart, so he was so troubled,

"Brother Huang, there is no bad woman, as long as you coax with your heart, you can do it."

"To put it simply, people have to have you in their hearts." Xiang Hongxuan said lonely.

Xiang Hongxi understands, Xiang Hongxuan is having a temper with Ling Xi, and he remembers that day Ling Xi teased Xiang Hongxuan, it is estimated that Xiang Hongxuan has never been so snubbed by a woman in his life, so he will be unhappy.

"Brother Huang, you don't understand a woman's heart, does a woman have you in her heart, see what she has done for you? If you were born and died, how could you not have you in your heart? ”

To be honest, Xiang Hongxi really doesn't like Ling Xi very much, but he doesn't want Ling Xi, the queen, to fall out of favor, he still wants to be the son-in-law of the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion, and he has a queen's sister-in-law, no matter how you look at it, it is more beneficial to him.

As soon as Xiang Hongxuan heard this, he suddenly brightened, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.

"You're just clever, it's okay to kneel."

Maybe Xiang Hongxi is right, Ling Xi can die for Xiang Hongxuan, can't it explain her heart? Xiang Hongxuan was a little anxious to send Xiang Hongxi.

But Xiang Hongxi didn't back down, he stood aside with a hippie smile.

"Brother Huang, my brother wants to ask you for a favor."

"What's the matter?"

"Minister

My brother is not too young, and my palace also needs a princess in charge, and my younger brother wants His Majesty to marry and marry the third lady of the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion to me. ”

Xiang Hongxuan frowned, Ling Man? Xiang Hongxi actually asked him to marry Ling Man to Duanwang Mansion if it was a month ago, Xiang Hongxuan would definitely agree happily but now.

"The third lady of the Pingyuan Marquis family is a concubine, and being the princess of Duan is a little wronged by the ninth brother."

"Brother Huang, if you can marry the daughter of the Marquis of Pingyuan, it doesn't matter if you are a concubine."

Of course, Xiang Hongxi was not aggrieved in his heart, he had waited for so many years just to marry Ling Man, even if he took ten concubines, he would not change them.

"There have been too many things recently, let go of the marriage in advance, and I will take the matter of your princess to heart." Xiang Hongxuan began to perfunctory Xiang Hongxi, and it was really a wave of unsettled waves.

Xiang Hongxi didn't know what Xiang Hongxuan meant, maybe it was because the Yanguan was accusing Ling Xi of not being the one recently, Xiang Hongxuan didn't want to give marriage to the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion at this time, which made the Yanguan noisy again, Xiang Hongxi was a little unwilling, but he had no choice but to leave the Feiyu Palace.

Xiang Hongxuan had a lot of things to worry about, he didn't care about asking Hong Xi for marriage, he thought of Ling Xi's sick and weak body, and he had to reconcile with Ling Xi quickly. He called Xiao Dezi, and after whispering a few words to him, Xiao Dezi quickly walked out of the Flying Feather Palace.

A bright moon slowly rose, and the palace was instantly shrouded in night, I don't know if it was because of the moonlight, or because there was still some unmelted snow in the harem, the whole palace looked very bright. Accompanied by Aunt An, Ling Xi walked towards the city tower, it was still a little cold in the first month, and Ling Xi wrapped his fur clothes, which seemed to be warmer.

Originally, she was sick and didn't want to go out of Qingfeng Garden, but Aunt An said that if she was allowed to go out for a walk, her body would get better faster, and somehow, she was taken to the city tower by Aunt An, and as soon as she stepped on the city tower, Ling Xi saw that the city was full of colorful lanterns, colorful, like a colorful dragon entrenched on the city tower, which was very beautiful. Aunt An didn't know when, so she walked away from Ling Xi.

"Queen, do you like this lantern?"

Ling Xi was stunned, this was Xiang Hongxuan's voice, Xiang Hongxuan had come behind Ling Xi silently, as soon as she turned around, Xiang Hongxuan appeared in front of her, she hadn't seen Xiang Hongxuan for many days, Ling Xi's heart was extremely happy, but soon, her face was sad again.

"Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't know that you are here to enjoy the lanterns, which has disturbed your Yaxing."

After saying that, Ling Xi was about to leave, Xiang Hongxuan grabbed her, and said a little unhappily: "Does the queen not want to see me like this?" I worked all afternoon to prepare lanterns for the queen. ”

"It's that Your Majesty doesn't want to see your concubines, and after the concubines enter the palace, Your Majesty has always seen them whenever she wants, and Your Majesty is still on the side if you don't want to see them, isn't it?" Ling Xi said with some anger, and her eyes were also rosy.

Xiang Hongxuan made a hard effort, and hugged Ling Xi tightly in his arms, he could feel the chill coming from Ling Xi's body through the thick cotton clothes, it seemed that Ling Xi was really sick.

"Has the Queen's illness improved? I'm worried. ”

Xiang Hongxuan wrapped his coat around Ling Xi's body, for fear that Ling Xi would be blown by this cold wind again.

As soon as Ling Xi heard Xiang Hongxuan's words, her tears could no longer be stopped, how many days of thoughts and panic were finally released, she was in Xiang Hongxuan's arms, crying, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Your Majesty, can you put ginkgo biloba?" Ling Xi said faintly.

"As long as the queen's illness can be cured, I will let her go. It's just that Qingfeng Yuan searched for sweat towels, and now even the people of Yicheng know about it, and the officials are staring at it. Ginkgo can't stay in the harem anymore, she has to go to the palace. Xiang Hongxuan whispered in Ling Xi's ear.

It turned out that this matter was so big, she was sick all these days, and she didn't even know it. However, it may not be a good thing for Ginkgo to go out of the palace, at least she can get rid of this lonely life in the deep palace and find her own happiness, she nodded gently in Xiang Hongxuan's arms.

"Your Majesty, it's good to release the ginkgo biloba tomorrow."

Ling Xi gave Xiang Hongxuan an urgent look, she had been to the Neiwei Mansion, that was the hell on earth, she thought that Ginkgo had been there for a month, it must be better to live than to die, thinking of this, Ling Xi's heart ached.

"Okay, listen to the queen."

Suddenly, Xiang Hongxuan took Ling Xi's cold hand and walked towards the city wall, his finger pointing outside the imperial city.

"Queen, look, the lanterns hanging on the Yuehe Tower in Yicheng are so beautiful."

Ling Xi followed Xiang Hongxuan's hand and looked at the Yuehe Tower, it turned out that the rumors were true, the Yuehe Tower could really be seen in the inner courtyard of the palace, and the layers of colorful lights in the Yuehe Tower, looking at it from a distance, were like fireflies, in the dark night, blooming with a little starlight, which was extremely beautiful.

"I once did a stupid thing."

Xiang Hongxuan smiled lightly and looked at Ling Xi with some affection.

"What did Your Majesty do?"

Xiang Hongxuan clenched Ling Xi's hand again, and the warmth between his fingers spread to Ling Xi's body little by little, and Ling Xi was in front of him, real existence.

"It doesn't matter anymore."

Xiang Hongxuan suddenly lowered his head and kissed Ling Xi's lips affectionately, in the moonlight, under the lanterns, in his heart.
