Chapter 22: Sky Lanterns
Jiang Wan sat on the chair and cocked Erlang's legs casually, and casually pinched a piece of snack and put it in his mouth. She knew that Concubine Xi would definitely be able to come up with the reward she wanted.
Sure enough, Concubine Xi didn't even hesitate after hearing this, and said proudly, "Don't worry, Concubine Lin came to the palace and sent a lot of rare objects to the palace, you can pick them up at will." ”
The things sent by Lin Yao were impossible for Concubine Xi to use, and it was also a blockage for herself to look at, so it was better to borrow flowers to offer Buddha and give Jiang Wan a benefit.
When Jiang Wan heard this, the corners of his mouth smiled, and his posture was more correct, "Then I will thank Concubine Xi Niangniang." ”
Ping'er, who was standing on the side, was very puzzled by this, she didn't know why the master wanted to tell Concubine Xi the news that she could be favored, if she used it herself, His Majesty would definitely treat her well.
I don't know why Ping'er always feels that his master has been different from before since he woke up from that accident. But everything is developing for the better, and she is just a palace maid, who only obeys the orders of her master.
Jiang Wan took Ping'er to Concubine Xi's room together, and the things that Lin Yao gave were still lying in the box and had not been touched.
"That's it, Concubine Lin is generous."
Jiang Wan looked at the things in the box in turn, picked left and right, and finally chose a pair of jade bracelets of high-quality materials.
"Then I'll pick this one."
Concubine Xi looked at the things in her hand, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled, there are many more valuable bracelets than this bracelet, how did Jiang Wan pick this most inconspicuous bracelet. However, she has already promised Jiang Wan, so she will not ask more, and these things are not very rare for her.
"If you like it, take it, but if you promised this palace, you should also tell this palace."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty still likes one thing, but it's more troublesome."
Jiang Wan began to rummage through the memories of the original owner, what Lu Zhixing could be interested in. In my memory, when they first became husband and wife, it was a festival, and the imperial city was not lively. She stood side by side with him in the attic, looking at the beautiful scenery of the world.
The most vivid memory of the original owner is his bright eyes and the rare smile on his face. Such a beautiful and handsome person is like the moon and stars in the sky, shining in her eyes.
Jiang Wan shook her head, no matter how much affection the original owner had, it had nothing to do with her, she just wanted to use these memories to protect herself, and she couldn't be affected by them.
She is a pure lady, and it is her misfortune to fall in love with such a scumbag. In this whirlpool, she Jiang Wan Mingzhe will never fall into it.
Jiang Wan picked this pair of kodama bracelets because after finding an opportunity to leave the palace, she had to have enough money to stay away from the imperial city, although this thing was high-grade, it was not obvious at a glance that it was something in the palace, and it was convenient for her to take it to the pawnshop.
"It's okay to be troublesome, as long as you say it, this palace can do anything for Your Majesty."
Concubine Xi sat up straight when she heard this, waiting for Jiang Wan's next words. Jiang Wan paused and said, "Your Majesty likes lights. ”
"Lights, aren't you deceiving this palace?"
"Your Majesty likes the lights of thousands of homes and the beauty of the world."
This can make it difficult for Xi Concubine, the kind of lights of thousands of homes that Jiang Wan said is not available for major festivals. However, when she looked at Jiang Wan's confident appearance, she knew that she must have a way to solve it.
"Jiang Wan, Bengong knows that you have a way, hurry up and tell Bengong."
"It's not impossible for me to teach my mother, but it's just a benefit." Jiang Wan smiled, with a cunning look in his eyes, and glanced at the boxes just now, meaning something.
Concubine Xi knew what Jiang Wan meant, "What else do you like, you can take it." ”
"Concubine Xi, I have these items in the hands of a Xin official girl, and they are not easy to circulate, do you know what I mean?"
"And my hand is injured, and it's not convenient to teach you."
Concubine Xi was very upright, so she immediately asked Bishui to get the jade and muscle cream, and ordered someone to send heating materials to Jiang Wan's side hospital. Then she took out a wooden box from the cupboard, and inside was a stack of large silver tickets, which her mother's family had given her to use for the palace. She took out a few and handed them to Jiang Wan.
Ping'er was a little surprised on the side, this Xi Concubine was so generous, and their life this winter must be much better.
Jiang Wan was very satisfied with Concubine Xi's attitude, and remembered something that could create thousands of lights-Kong Ming lantern.
Although the flame of the Kong Ming lantern is small, the Kong Ming lantern in the sky is also a wonder in the world. When she was in the 21st century, she had the privilege of seeing such a beautiful picture, and it was so beautiful that she sighed.
"Can Concubine Xi know about Kong Ming Lantern?"
"What's that?"
Concubine Xi's puzzled expression surprised Jiang Wan, could it be that there is no such thing as Kong Ming Lantern in this world, no wonder, there is no Kong Ming in this world at all, let alone Kong Ming Lantern.
In order not to make Concubine Xi suspicious, Jiang Wan changed her name to Sky Lantern.
"It's a slip of the tongue, and it's called Sky Lantern, which means a lantern that can fly into the sky."
"Lanterns flying to the sky, Jiang Wan, are you looking for a joke to deal with this palace, where will there be a lantern that can go to the sky?"
Concubine Xi's face was full of suspicion, she had never heard of such a thing in her life for so many years.
Jiang Wan chuckled unhurriedly, explaining that the sky lantern was a novelty object that the maid in her house had nothing to think about when she was still in the boudoir.
Concubine Xi was still skeptical, but Jiang Wan assured that the sky lantern would definitely attract Lu Zhixing's attention. According to what Jiang Wan said, Concubine Xi sent her palace maid to collect materials and wait for Jiang Wan's hands to get better.
Lin Yao has been paying attention to Luo Yunxuan's movements here, and Xun Chang has not heard news over there for a long time, and Lin Yao has a different view of Xi Concubine.
"This Xi Concubine is also a scheming woman, she has received the benefits of this palace, and she has not done anything to Xun Chang, this palace should praise her."
Yuan Zhu leaned down and whispered in Lin Yao's ear, "Then Niangniang, do we need to make a move?" ”
"Don't worry, let Luoyun Xuan keep an eye on the palace first, but if there is a little abnormality, I will report to the palace."
"Yes, sissy."
"How has Jiang Wan been doing these days?"
"Back to Niangniang, there is news from Chunshen, saying that Xin Guannu had injured her hand because of His Majesty's punishment before, and she has been recuperating in the side hospital behind closed doors."
"Concubine Xi, Jiang Wan, the two of them are close, but Concubine Xi really thinks that she can fight with this palace by relying on a abolished queen, it's really a joke."
Although Lin Yao was disdainful of the two of them in her words, the hand that squeezed the hand tightly revealed the fierceness in her heart.
In the past few days, the sky has begun to snow again, and when Jiang Wan came out of his room, it was when the snow stopped and the sky was clear. Her hands were already healed, and there was no trace of frostbite.
Because Kong Ming's lantern is her thing in another world, she needs to think about the production steps, after all, she has never done it because of her status as president.
She took some materials and tinkered with them in the room by herself, Ping'er looked at Jiang Wan so seriously, although she was puzzled, she didn't bother, she was only responsible for handing her materials and tools on the side, serving tea and pouring water.
Jiang Wan finally made the Kong Ming lantern in her memory, and it happened that the weather was good, so she took it out and tried to see if it could fly. Jiang Wan lit the candle and watched the Kong Ming lantern staggering and gradually rising into the sky, her eyes were full of joy. and when Kong Ming Lantern was about to fly high, he took a stone and shot it down.
"Master, this lantern is really flying!"
Hira's was amazed, she had never seen anything so magical, and when the lantern fell, she spun around curiously.
"This is the complete sky lantern, let's go find Xi Concubine."
Concubine Xi was taking a nap in the room, and when she heard Bishui say that Jiang Wan was coming, she hurriedly got up and tidied up her appearance and walked out.
Jiang Wan told Xi Concubine that the sky lantern was ready to be produced in batches. Concubine Xi was very happy, took out the things she had collected before, and called on all the subordinates of Luoyun Xuan to follow Jiang Wan's guidance to make sky lanterns. Luoyun Xuan's subordinates almost never stepped out of Luoyun Xuan from this day on, and they were all rushing to work on the three thousand sky lanterns that Xi Concubine wanted. They also didn't know what the sky lanterns they made were, but they had to obey the orders of their masters.
"Have you heard, Niangniang said that this is a sky lantern, which can fly into the sky!"
"Really, a lantern that can fly?"
"Don't gossip here, the three thousand sky lanterns were prepared by the mother for Your Majesty, and if something goes wrong, we will lose our heads!"
Concubine Xi would wander around the overseer when she had nothing to do, and she still didn't see what these pieces of paper and bamboo could compose.
Luo Yunxuan's movements let Lin Yao know, but Lin Yao only knew what Luo Yunxuan was preparing, and did not get the words of the sky lantern, so he could only wait and see.
A few days later, all the 3,000 sky lanterns were completed, and after Jiang Wan inspected them one by one to confirm the quality, he said hello to Concubine Xi.
"Congratulations to Concubine Xi, the three thousand sky lanterns have been prepared, tonight you invite Your Majesty to Tinghu Lake, and then let them release the sky lanterns, it is definitely a wonder in the world."
"Okay, if Your Majesty's dragon heart is happy, this palace will reward you."
In the imperial study, the chief manager reported to Lu Zhixing.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Xi asked you to come to Tinghu Lake tonight, saying that there is a surprise for you."
"Concubine Xi, that Concubine Xi of Luoyun Xuan?"
"Exactly."
"Tell her I'll be at the appointment tonight."
"Yes."
Lu Zhixing's hand paused to review the fold, Luoyunxuan was where Jiang Wan was, the horseshoe cake and blue clothes of Concubine Xi before, but Jiang Wan told her, and now this surprise is afraid that it is inseparable from Jiang Wan.
He went to the appointment this time, it can be said that he went to Jiang Wan, and he wanted to know what accidents Jiang Wan could bring him.
Xi Concubine got a reply from the chief manager, and after learning that Lu Zhixing really agreed to go to the appointment, she was so excited that she was about to jump. She began to choose clothes and jewelry with joy, and she must be appreciated by Lu Zhixing tonight.
And Jiang Wan was not very surprised when she found out, what Lu Zhixing's scumbag wanted had nothing to do with her. She didn't want to go, but she felt that she might not have seen the beauty of the 3,000 sky lanterns for a long time, so she wanted to take her hired child to join in the fun.
The sun gradually sank in the west in the expectation of Xi Concubine and the nervousness of everyone in Luoyun Xuan, Jiang Wan took advantage of the brilliance of the sunset to take them to the vicinity of Tinghu Lake to arrange.
