Chapter Twenty-Three: Wonders

At night, there is no moon today, but there are stars in the sky. Xi Concubine had already made careful preparations and waited in the small pavilion in the center of Tinghu. Jiang Wan and Ping'er stood in an inconspicuous corner.

"Hire a child, just wait and see, the scenery will be a wonder."

Jiang Wan was also looking forward to the similar scene in his memory.

Not long after, Lu Zhixing came to Tinghu surrounded by palace people, and Concubine Xi saw it from a distance on the small building, and she had already come down to wait.

"The concubine has seen Your Majesty, and Your Majesty can go to the appointment in her busy schedule, which is really a blessing for the concubine."

Lu Zhixing had no interest in Xi Concubine, but the same indifferent words as usual had a hint of playfulness.

"I heard that Concubine Xi prepared a surprise for me, I don't know what it is?"

"Your Majesty will be able to see you when you climb this small building with your concubines." After saying that, Concubine Xi took Lu Zhixing's hand and walked up the small building. Lu Zhixing's gaze stayed on the hand held by Xi Concubine, his eyes were slightly dull but he didn't let go of it unexpectedly.

This made Concubine Xi very excited, thinking that this was a good sign that she was favored.

Standing on top of the pavilion, Xi Concubine waved her hand, and everyone in Luoyun Xuan got the order and began to light and release the sky lantern. Three thousand sky lanterns flew towards the sky with their own gentle light, swaying slightly.

The wind is not strong tonight, but it is the best to carry 3,000 sky lanterns. Lu Zhixing was a little stunned when he saw this scene, he had never seen such a beautiful picture. The lights in the sky are flying one after another, and the brilliance is also reflected on the Pavilion Lake, the two echo each other, this place is the world, and it is like a fairyland.

Everyone present was fascinated by this, and some let out a soft exclamation.

And Jiang Wan in the corner was full of lights like the previous life in his eyes at this time, immersed in this and unable to extricate himself. Hireo'er was secretly happy like a child.

Lu Zhixing came back to his senses, inadvertently swept it, and saw Jiang Wan, who was distracted by the three thousand sky lanterns.

"Xi Concubine, what is this flying light?"

"Back to Your Majesty, this thing is called the sky lantern, and it is a plaything that the concubine has nothing to do."

Concubine Xi took the credit of the sky lantern on herself as a matter of course, and Lu Zhixing knew about it but did not expose it, but praised it.

"Concubine Xi is so ingenious, she really appreciates me, this wonder in the world is a beauty I have never seen before."

"Your Majesty has praised it falsely, it is the honor of the concubine to make Your Majesty happy."

Later, Lu Zhixing rewarded Xi Concubine with some precious jewelry, and put the big coat on Xi Concubine's shoulders on the grounds of the cold.

"It's cold, I'll send someone to send Concubine Xi back to Yunxuan."

Concubine Xi's eyes at this time were full of affection for Lu Zhixing, although she was reluctant, she could only follow his wishes. However, this harvest is obvious to all, and Xi Concubine also feels that she has earned it.

"Then the concubine will take her leave first."

After saying that, Concubine Xi took away all the people from Luoyun Xuan, and Jiang Wan and Ping'er also turned around and prepared to leave.

But the people around Lu Zhixing walked over and quietly stopped Jiang Wan, and Ping'er was a little worried, but Jiang Wan waved her hand and asked her to leave first.

"I don't know why Your Majesty is looking for slaves and maids?"

Jiang Wan thought he was unlucky, he just found a corner to take a look, and was caught by Lu Zhixing. I knew that I shouldn't have come like this, and it would be good to run into him. When I saw Lu Zhixing, I remembered that I had pinched a thousand snowballs with my bare hands, and my hand, which was already good, seemed to start hurting again.

Lu Zhixing saw the reluctance in Jiang Wan's heart, and had some doubts in his heart, when did she resist herself so much. Lu Zhixing retreated from the people around him, pointed to the sky lanterns and said to Jiang Wan, "These sky lanterns are your masterpieces." ”

It's not a question but an affirmation, how could such a novel thing be something that Concubine Xi could think of. And the person who sent out by herself naturally told him everything about her movements.

Jiang Wan looked up at Lu Zhixing, and he was also shocked in his heart, how could he be so sure that the sky lantern was his own. However, this head was originally given to Concubine Xi, and she had no intention of taking it back.

"Why did Your Majesty ask like this, these lanterns are all from Xi Concubine Niangniang, and the slaves and maids are just beating down."

Lu Zhixing saw Jiang Wan's denial, and remembered the previous incident of Xun Chang's presence, and he couldn't figure out what Jiang Wan wanted in his heart. However, Jiang Wan was unwilling to admit it, and he had no reason to pursue it. But what puzzled him was how Jiang Wan learned about this sky lantern, in his impression, Jiang Wan has always been as quiet as an orchid, and has never been involved in this kind of handiwork.

Jiang Wan came out of the cold palace, and his heart and posture were different from before, as if he was not the wife who married him when he was young.

"Is there anything else Your Majesty?" Although Jiang Wan likes this scenery, there is such a evil god beside her, and she is not willing to stay here for a long time. I don't know what Lu Zhixing will do to rectify her.

"If you don't have the slave, you will retire first."

Jiang Wan saluted and turned around to leave, but found that her wrist was held by Lu Zhixing, and she struggled and found that he was holding it very tightly.

"Your Majesty?"

"Stay here and accompany me to see the lantern."

Lu Zhixing didn't know why he saw Jiang Wan leaving, so he involuntarily grabbed her. When I reacted, I felt that it was inappropriate, but I couldn't just shake it off.

Jiang Wan sighed in his heart, why did he provoke him again, and he couldn't leave if he wanted to. But on the surface, he was very calm, "Obey." ”

I have to say that the pavilion in the middle of this pavilion lake is much more beautiful than in the corner just now. The sky lanterns were already in the sky, and the light was brighter than the stars, as if the lights of thousands of homes had risen above the night.

Jiang Wan thought to himself that he might as well enjoy the scenery here, this is also a rare opportunity.

In fact, the 3000 Sky Lantern also has her own selfishness, she always wants to be able to touch things related to the 21st century, as if she can go back.

Thinking that he had an accident and then came to this strange place where he ate people and didn't spit out bones, Jiang Wan's eyes were covered with a layer of sadness, even if he was close to Lu Zhixing, he couldn't see through it.

Why is she grieving, that sorrow seems to have nothing to do with herself. Lu Zhixing looked at Jiang Wan, Jiang Wan was immersed in the joy or sorrow brought to her by the sky lantern, and completely forgot that there was Lu Zhixing beside her.

Lu Zhixing sighed lightly and looked at the sky, neither of them spoke, just like when he and the original owner looked at the thousands of lights side by side, but it was no longer the original scene and not the original person.

"Why do you want to attack my heir?"

After a long time, Lu Zhixing still asked the question he cared about the most. The sudden questioning made Jiang Wan come back to his senses, the reason why the original owner was put into the cold palace by him and deprived of the queen position was because Lin Yao used the heir to frame her.

It was also the sentence that Concubine Xi asked her why she was knocked down by Lin Yao, and she replied, because Lin Yao was so ruthless, even if it was her own child, she was willing to do it.

This kind of Lin Yao reminded Jiang Wan of a legendary woman, the empress Wu Zetian, who also used the same means to eliminate Queen Wang from the game.

Jiang Wan, who used to watch palace fighting dramas, couldn't believe that someone would really be able to do this, Lin Yao did it. Lin Yao killed her and Lu Zhixing's children and blamed Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan is such a pure and kind woman, she has no scheming and naturally cannot get out of the sophisticated conspiracy. had to drink the tears of monstrous grievances in the cold palace.

"Has Your Majesty ever trusted me?"

At this time, Jiang Wan seemed to be the soul of the original owner, her face was indifferent and seemed to be sad, and her eyes looked at Lu Zhixing, as if she was telling something.

"There are some things that can be useful if I don't say it."

On this winter night, above the Pavilion Lake, Jiang Wan seemed to be in a mist, very close to him and far away from him. Jiang Wan turned around and stopped talking, she settled down, just now she was just affected by the residual feelings in this body, this performance was not her Jiang Wan's original intention.

Jiang Wan only had sarcasm for Lu Zhixing in his heart at this time, Lin Yao was his cinnabar mole and his white moonlight, and he could believe everything she said and did unconditionally. Now he still thinks that the original owner killed his heir, and the original owner is dedicated to her husband, and is even willing to endure the harem of three thousand.

A generation of new people replaces old people, what can she say, he didn't pay attention to the original explanation, and how can he listen to the current explanation.

"You."

Lu Zhixing was affected by Jiang Wan's actions, and he didn't know what to say, and the two of them fell silent again.

"Your Majesty, Jiang Wan is no longer the Jiang Wan of the past, the former Jiang Wan has died in the cold palace, and now Jiang Wan just wants to live well, and the slave and maid will retire first."

Jiang Wan's words are true, Jiang Wan, who loves Lu Zhixing, has returned to heaven in the cold night of the cold palace, and she who was reborn is not a vassal of Lu Zhixing.

Lu Zhixing watched Jiang Wan go away in a daze, gradually disappearing outside the pavilion lake, and the hand under his sleeve was somehow clenched into a fist.

The chief steward who was watching this side from a distance and the guard Changye who was traveling to Lu sighed unconsciously.

They also don't understand what kind of feelings Lu Zhixing has for Jiang Wan, and his attitude is incomprehensible.

Jiang Wan returned to the side courtyard of Luoyun Xuan, and Ping'er was still waiting at the door. Facing Ping'er's inquiring gaze, Jiang Wan said helplessly, "Nothing happened, you don't have to worry about me." ”

Of course Ping'er wouldn't be so stupid, she could see that Jiang Wan's mood was a little low, but she also understood that Jiang Wan's reluctance to say was to let herself stop asking.

Xi Concubine won Lu Zhixing's appreciation because of the 3,000 sky lanterns, and she was overjoyed after returning to Luoyun Xuan. Thinking that Jiang Wan really didn't lie to himself, he dragged Jiang Wan, the military advisor, and was not afraid that he would not be able to defeat Lin Yao's slut.

On the second day, Concubine Xi sent Bishui to invite Jiang Wan.

"Xin Guannu, Concubine Xi is invited."

Then Jiang Wan took Ping'er over, and sure enough, Concubine Xi was to reward Jiang Wan.

The spectacle of 3,000 sky lanterns caused a sensation in the palace. The palace began to spread the word that Concubine Xi had won the holy favor, and the throne was not far away. These words naturally fell into Lin Yao's ears.

"Three thousand sky lanterns, Xi Concubine is not simple."

Lin Yao's face was gloomy, she was not just because Concubine Xi was rewarded by Lu Zhixing, but because of the sky lantern. She is a time-traveler, coming to this unknown world from the modern era. She naturally knew that it was impossible for this world to have Kong Ming lanterns, and Xi Concubine said that she made it, and Xi Concubine was not a person from this world.

I really didn't expect that I was not the only one, I just relied on modern knowledge and means to climb to this position, if Xi Concubine also crossed over, then her position would be a little shaky.

"Yuanzhu, you do what Bengong ordered."

Lin Yao retired from the waiting palace maid and called Yuanzhu to his side.

"It's a bit dangerous."

"You don't have to worry about that, go ahead."

"Yes."
