Chapter 24 Gift of Lanterns
Su Lianrong was also very happy, she turned her head to look at Fu Hui with a faint smile on her face, and without saying a word, she grabbed Fu Hui and walked towards her master.
Fu Hui, who was still sitting in the position, couldn't react a little, but when he was completely sober, he found that he had been exposed in front of everyone.
"Half of these prizes are going to be given to Fu Hui, and I wouldn't have won this competition without Fu Hui."
The master glanced at Su Lianrong strangely, a little confused in his heart, "How do you say this?" β
Su Lianrong had a sweet smile on her face, and turned her head to look at Fuhui, who also lowered her head a little embarrassed at that time.
"In the previous competition, there was a problem with my lantern, and it was Fuhui who sacrificed her lantern and gave me her lantern to remake it, so that I won this competition."
Su Lianrong explained the situation word by word, and a hint of appreciation appeared on the master's face.
"Yes, this game is just a game after all, as long as everyone is united, there is nothing that cannot be solved."
The master took the opportunity to instill the knowledge learned in class to everyone, the smiles on Su Lianrong and Fuhui's faces were so dazzling, Xiao Ruoxue, who was sitting in the audience, couldn't help but clench her fists tightly, and there was a little more hatred in her eyes.
After the award was over, Su Lianrong pulled Fuhui with great interest, and walked towards Xiao Shuwei with her jade rabbit.
"His Royal Highness King Ning, I still hope that you can accept this jade rabbit." Su Lianrong blushed and stretched out her hand and stuffed the jade rabbit into Xiao Shuwei's arms.
Xiao Shuwei just smiled faintly, and that smile was like a spring breeze, which intoxicated Su Lianrong's heart.
"Then thank you Miss Su."
When the two were in love, an untimely cry suddenly sounded, "I wonder if Fuhui has a lantern for this king?" β
The smile on Fu Hui's face suddenly stiffened, and she turned her head to look at Xiao Shujun with a hippie smile.
"My lantern has already been given to the lotus paste, so naturally there is no one for you."
Fuhui spread her hands helplessly, she was also silently slandering in her heart, if she had, she would not give it to him.
But Xiao Shujun suddenly came to Fuhui's ear extremely ambiguously.
"Do you know what it means for this woman to give a lantern to a man?"
The man's voice sounded in his ears, with a slight tingling magnetism, and Fu Hui couldn't help but blush.
"I don't know."
Xiao Shujun's playful smile was immediately revealed, and he looked at Su Lianrong playfully.
"Flowers are fleeting, lights are easy to go out, and you are acacia layered on top of each other." Xiao Shujun spat out this sentence.
Su Lianrong, who heard this, immediately blushed, her deep thoughts were broken by Xiao Shujun in front of everyone, and she didn't dare to look up at Xiao Shuwei.
But the smile on Xiao Shuwei's face was still gentle, and Fuhui couldn't help but ask when she saw this look.
"Does King Ning know?"
Xiao Shuwei nodded as a matter of course.
"There has always been a custom in the lantern race of the country's eunuchs, and if a woman gives the lantern to the man of her choice, then they will be married in the coming year."
Hearing this, Fu Hui also continued to ask the bottom line, "In that case, I wonder if His Royal Highness King Ning's heart for Lotus Rong is also like this poem?" β
But then Xiao Shuwei just smiled undeniably, and her eyes fell on Su Lianrong's body gently.
This naked gaze looked at Su Lianrong and suddenly blushed, but Xiao Shuwei didn't say it explicitly, and Su Lianrong didn't know what Xiao Shuwei meant.
After a while, Fu Hui reacted, since this lantern has such a meaning, isn't Xiao Shujun's behavior of asking for the lantern from him just now more obvious?
Thinking of this, Fuhui couldn't help but lower her head, she felt that she couldn't look directly at Xiao Shujun.
But Xiao Shujun didn't seem to want to let her go, he seemed to be playing a trick and took out a lantern from behind him, which was an extremely simple and elegant lotus lantern.
It can be seen that this is made by Xiao Shujun himself, although the workmanship is poor, but it can also be understood that it has put a lot of effort into it.
"I don't know what His Royal Highness King Qin means?"
Fu Hui deliberately pretended to be stupid.
Xiao Shujun took a step forward and stuffed the lantern into Fuhui's arms.
"Since Fuhui didn't have a lantern to give me, then I will replace it with a lantern made by myself and give it to Fuhui."
Before Fu Hui could react, Xiao Shujun laughed and turned around and left here.
And Su Lianrong, who was beside her, also gently poked Fuhui's waist with her elbow, "His Royal Highness King Qin is confessing his heart to you!" β
As soon as he soared, Fu Hui's face turned red, just now he was still heartbroken about the relationship between Xiao Shuwei and Su Lianrong, but he didn't expect it to be his turn so soon.
As soon as she lowered her head, Fuhui saw the simple lotus lamp in her arms, and she couldn't help but be slightly distracted.
The lantern in my arms suddenly became a little hot......
Until he returned to the palace, Fuhui's eyes never took his eyes off the lantern.
The poems that Xiao Shujun said in the day kept echoing in her ears, "Flowers are fleeting, lights are easy to extinguish, and you are lovesick." β
Thinking about it, Fu Hui's face couldn't help but turn red, and she stroked her cheeks, slightly hot temperature.
Mama Qiao looked at the abnormal flush on Fuhui's face, and also looked at Fuhui a little strangely, "Fuhui, what's wrong with you?" β
This sentence suddenly pulled Fuhui back to reality, she quickly came back to her senses and smiled embarrassedly, "It's nothing." β
This strange appearance suddenly attracted the attention of Mama Qiao. Mama Qiao tilted her head and looked at the lantern beside Fuhui.
The lantern looks small and exquisite, and the only fly in the ointment is that the workmanship is slightly rough.
"Did you make this lantern? Fu Hui. β
Mama Qiao reached out and picked up the lantern, and after playing with it carefully, she didn't feel like it was from Fuhui's hand.
"It's ...... It was given to me by His Royal Highness the King of Qin. β
Suddenly, Mama Qiao's hand stopped suddenly, and her eyes widened in astonishment, her face full of disbelief, "You mean...... This was given to you by King Qin? β
Fu Hui nodded inexplicably, but Mama Qiao threw the lantern into the glove box, with a look of sincere fear on her face.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?"
Why is the sudden reaction so big? Fu Hui is a little confused.
Mama Qiao's face was a little complicated, King Qin's favor was not a good thing.
is the most ruthless emperor's family, and now Xiao Shujun may be interested in Fuhui, so he talks sweetly and sends lanterns to express his heart, but after a long time, with a more beautiful concubine, how can Fuhui gain a foothold in the huge Qin Palace?
"Fuhui, remember my words, and His Royal Highness King Qin, don't get close, do you understand?"
Looking at Mama Qiao's solemn face, Fuhui looked uncertain, "Why is this?" β
"No matter what, His Royal Highness King Qin is not something we can think about."
Mama Qiao's tone suddenly became stern, and she did not return to her usual gentleness.
Fu Hui was also frightened, and quickly nodded, "Yes, Fu Hui remembers." β
"Tomorrow, the queen and the emperor will come to the palace as guests, and maybe His Royal Highness the King of Qin will also come, and by then, you will understand what you should do."
Mama Qiao sighed in her heart, it was a great honor for ordinary people to be favored by King Qin, but Mama Qiao also knew how much it would cost.
She didn't want Fuhui to go down that road of no return.
Fortunately, Fuhui is also a well-behaved child, but nodded obediently, and then responded, "Yes, Fuhui knows." β
Mama Qiao regained her usual closeness, and a smile resurfaced on her face, "That's good, you can rest first, it's getting late." β
β¦β¦
The sun was rising, the warm sunlight was shining into the house, and Fu Hui had already woken up, and she was filling the incense burner with sandalwood.
"Mother, you're here."
"Pack it up early, the emperor and queen will be here in a quarter of an hour."
Fu Hui nodded, and after packing up and dressing, she stood up and walked outside the house.
Outside the door, everyone had already knelt in a row to greet the emperor's arrival.
Fu Hui also quickly packed up, knelt in the black crowd, and slowly lowered his head.
It didn't take long for the distinctive, shrill voice of a eunuch to sound at the door.
"The emperor has arrivedβ"
The people who knelt down fell to the ground one after another, and their mouths shouted in unison, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" β
It didn't take long for a man wearing a bright yellow dragon robe to appear at the door, the man's eyebrows were like swords, and his knife-like face showed the dignity unique to the royal family.
And standing beside the man was a noblewoman in brocade clothes, the woman's body was covered with gold and silver, and she had a bunch of pearl agate on her head, and her clothes were also golden in contrast to the emperor's dragon robe.
A man and a woman stood at the door with indescribable luxury, and Xiao Huang said in a deep voice: "Everyone get up." Today is just a lonely family feast, so you don't have to be so restrained. β
Everyone slowly got up from the ground, but Fuhui still raised her head unconsciously, and saw Xiao Shujun standing next to the emperor at a glance.
Xiao Shujun also seemed to have seen Fu Hui, and winked deliberately playfully at Fu Hui, and suddenly remembered what Qiao Mama said to him last night in his mind, Fu Hui hurriedly lowered his head and pretended not to see it.
Xiao Shujun, who was standing next to the emperor, was a little confused, obviously there was still talking and laughing yesterday, what happened today, and he was judged like two people at once.
Xiao Shujun scratched his head in confusion and didn't think much about it.
The emperor and queen soon went to the main hall, leaving only these servants to take care of the garden where the banquet was to be held later.
Fu Hui held a rag in his hand, and he gently wiped it on the table where there was no dust at all.
Unconsciously, Fuhui didn't notice that there was an extra person around her.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Fu Hui only dared to be gently patted on the shoulder, but when he turned his head, there was no one around.
Then the voice sounded from behind again, "Look this way, stupid! β
Sure enough, looking at where the voice came from, it was Xiao Shujun's very sly face that smiled.
Fu Hui sighed helplessly, "Why is Your Highness here?" β
