In the Jinhua Palace, Wei Xiu glanced at Xiao Yuning from time to time out of the corner of his eye, and he found that Xiao Yuning was very abnormal today.

In the past, Xiao Yuning was always distracted and concentrated when dealing with official business, but today he has raised his pen several times and stayed in mid-air in a daze, his eyes were hazy, and his mind didn't know where to fly.

Finally, Xiao Yuning put down his pen and called, "Wei Xiu, come here." ”

Wei Xiu hurriedly came to Xiao Yuning's side and listened respectfully to the order.

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Yuning asked, "Are there any new and interesting things in the folk that can be used as birthday gifts?" ”

Wei Xiu was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Feng Qingxu's sixteenth birthday was coming soon, no wonder Xiao Yuning had been absent-minded today, it turned out that he was thinking of giving something to Concubine Feng Qingxu.

This made Wei Xiu a little embarrassed, Feng Qingxu was fifteen years old and Xuan, Xiao Yuning gave her a beautiful mountain villa, what gift can compare to that big gift now?

Wei Xiu pondered carefully, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Why don't you invite the most famous opera troupe in the capital to come to the palace to sing for the crown princess?" ”

Xiao Yuning immediately dismissed: "Asu doesn't like to be lively, and the singing is too noisy." ”

Wei Xiu thought for a while, and then said, "Why don't you give a woman's favorite hairpin ring jewelry, dress rouge?" ”

Xiao Yuning glanced at him: "When did you see Asu like these things?" ”

"What about the sword steed?"

"I've given her a dagger."

"The master's famous paintings, the only book of piano scores?"

"It's too perfunctory."

"Delicious food, old wine?"

"Is there a lack of Asu?"

"Gold and Silver Jewelry ......"

"Get out!"

“……”

Wei Xiu almost cried: "Your Highness, the slave really doesn't know......"

At this time, a gentle voice came from outside the door: "Your Highness, why do you have to embarrass Father-in-law Wei like this, Xiaohan has a good idea......"

Xiao Yuning followed the prestige, saw Yang Xiaohan Shi Ran walking in, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, is this going to prepare a birthday gift for the crown princess?" Xiaohan also wants to do his part. ”

Xiao Yuning saw that Yang Xiaohan volunteered, so he said with interest: "What do you have good ideas?" ”

Yang Xiaohan smiled mysteriously and said, "Has Your Highness ever heard of the Red Lotus Meteor Lantern?" ”

Xiao Yuning was a little puzzled: "Red Lotus Meteor Lantern? I've never heard of it. ”

Yang Xiaohan said: "I guess Your Highness has never heard of it, this is a very beautiful lamp that Xiaohan has seen in the folk, glued to the lamp wall with paper cuts, or pasted on it with painted patterns." After the lamp is lit inside, the paper wheel is spoken, and the image of people and horses chasing, changing scenery and moving on the lamp screen appears, and what is even more amazing is that there seems to be a meteor crossing between the rotation of the lamp, which is beautiful. ”

Xiao Yuning pondered: "Are you talking about a marquee? ”

Yang Xiaohan chuckled: "Some similar to the marquee, but it was cleverly made into the shape of a red lotus, coupled with the wonder of meteor flashing, I don't know how many times better than the ordinary marquee, so it is called the red lotus meteor lamp, Your Highness thinks about it, the princess loves lotus, but now it is early autumn, the lotus has long withered, if there is this red lotus meteor lamp, His Royal Highness can put a full lake of lights in the lake, from a distance, it looks like a large red lotus blooming in the lake, and the red lotus rotates between the meteors flashing, how beautiful it should be, the princess will definitely like it." ”

When Xiao Yuning heard this, he immediately felt that this idea was very good, and he would definitely smile lightly, so he asked: "Where is this kind of lamp, to make a lamp on a lake, is it too late?" ”

Yang Xiaohan said: "This kind of lamp Xiaohan has only been seen in a workshop in the West Market, as for whether it is too late, I am afraid I have to ask the craftsman." ”

Xiao Yuning immediately decided to go out of the palace with Yang Xiaohan to find the craftsmen of Naxi City.

After the two came to the West Market, they found the small workshop after several twists and turns, and when they went in, they saw a beautiful red lotus meteor lamp displayed in the store, Xiao Yuning looked carefully, and saw that the lamp was exquisitely made, and the lamp was full, like a real lotus half-open and half-closed, about to bloom, and the whole lotus lamp was lifelike.

When the running hall in the store saw someone coming in, he hurriedly came up to greet him, and when he saw Xiao Yuning and Yang Xiaohan dressed luxuriously and with extraordinary temperament, he knew that he was a distinguished guest, so he was even more attentive.

Xiao Yuning pointed to the red lotus meteor lamp and said, "How much stock do you have of this lamp?" ”

As soon as the runner heard that the person who came didn't ask about the price, only asked about the inventory, he decided that there was a generous person in front of him, who was either rich or expensive, so he said more respectfully: "Childe's vision is really good, this lamp is the treasure of our store, the red lotus meteor lamp, only our store has it in the capital, there is still some stock in the store, how much do you want?" ”

Xiao Yuning smiled slightly and said, "Three thousand." ”

The runner almost fell down with his legs weak, and asked with wide eyes, "How much?" Son...... You're not kidding, are you? What do you want so many lights for? ”

Wei Xiu coughed and said, "What do you do when you ask so much, do you only say if there are three thousand lights?" ”

Runtang said embarrassedly: "This red lotus meteor lamp is not easy to make, if you want three or five lights, the store is in stock, but ...... 3,000 lamps, and you still need to ask our shopkeeper. ”

Wei Xiu asked, "Then where is your shopkeeper?" ”

Ran Tang said with a bitter face: "It's really unfortunate, our shopkeeper has something to go out today, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back until the evening, or will you come back tomorrow?" ”

Yang Xiaohan said softly to Xiao Yuning: "Childe, if you come again tomorrow, I'm afraid it's too late, it's better to negotiate as soon as possible, it's okay today, it's better to wait in the teahouse opposite, what does Childe think?" ”

Xiao Yuning frowned, looked at the sky outside, and said: "We live far away, it's not easy to come here, so we are waiting for your shopkeeper in the teahouse opposite, if your shopkeeper comes back, you just have to go to the opposite side to find us." ”

As soon as he heard this, he knew that this big customer couldn't run, and said very excitedly: "Yes, yes, when the shopkeeper comes back, the villain will definitely go to find the son immediately." ”

So Xiao Yuning and Yang Xiaohan went to the private room on the second floor of the teahouse opposite to wait for the owner of the workshop to return.

The two ordered some tea and snacks, and were about to say something, but found that the sound insulation of this private room was extremely poor, and even in the room, the sound next door could be heard.

Xiao Yuning stopped chatting in his heart, fortunately, the tea in this teahouse is fragrant, sweet after bitterness, and the tea fragrance is full of mouth, which is enough to pass the time.

Yang Xiaohan saw that Xiao Yuning was tired, so he was silent, only quietly sipping tea, and the room was surprisingly quiet for a while.

The next room was very lively, it seemed to be a group of women chatting, and the parents were chatting about short and trivial things.

Occasionally, there are one or two gossip in the market, and Xiao Yuning is also very interesting.

Suddenly, there seemed to be cheers next door: "Ah, Du Niangzi is here, come and sit, I'm waiting for you......"
