The Lantern Festival is coming soon. Early in the morning, An Xueliao received Jin Buyao from Gong Shaoxun. This step shake is very beautiful and valuable. The father-in-law who sent the step shake specially emphasized that the second prince hoped to see the eldest lady with this step shake at the lantern festival.

In the afternoon, An Xue sat in front of the bronze mirror, looking at Yun Pei in the mirror in a daze, busy dressing himself up. At the end, Yun Pei inserted Jin Bu Shake into An Xulone's hair bun, An Xue Lonely shook his head, and Jin Bu Shao made a subtle and crisp collision sound, which was very good. The woman in the mirror is noble and beautiful, and An Xue is lonely and looks at herself in the mirror motionlessly. She rarely dresses up like this, she is beautiful but not glamorous, and she reveals the temperament of a high-ranking official and a noble lady. Presumably, this is a woman that the emperor and queen and even the second prince are satisfied with.

"Lonely ......" The eldest lady walked in with Lu Rou, looking at the quiet An Xu, and couldn't help but pity her, "It's okay, just go into the palace to play, your father said, if you really don't want to marry, you can come back and tell your father, the emperor blames it, it's a big deal for us to go back to Jiangnan, okay?" ”

"Mother, Lonely knows that you are reluctant for me to marry into the palace and suffer the sin of intrigue, and Lonely can't bear to burden my father......"

The eldest lady smiled, "Silly girl, what do you say is not involved, if your father is not the prime minister, how can the second prince mention that he wants to marry you many times, your father and I only have you as a daughter, and I don't want you to be prosperous and rich in the future, just be safe." ”

An Xue Lonely chatted with the eldest lady for a while, and then a maid came to report that the sedan chair from the palace was waiting in front of the house, and invited the eldest lady to enter the palace.

"Yun Pei, Haosheng takes care of Miss, Yu Rou, you go with you, if there is anything, come back and tell me immediately."

Yun Pei and Yu Rou agreed, and helped An Xue Lonely to walk towards the door.

Originally, the lantern festival of the Lantern Festival would not be held in the palace, but Qi Guifei loved these lively scenes since she was a girl, and the emperor favored her, so from the second year of Qi Guifei's entry into the palace, she held a lantern festival in the palace every year. Sometimes some young noblemen will also participate, and the eldest princess of Qi Guifei fell in love with the concubine at first sight at the lantern festival.

The palace is very lively, and before it gets dark, all kinds of lanterns have been hung everywhere. From time to time, a pair of small palace daughters walked by with all kinds of delicacies.

There was already a grandmother waiting at the gate of the palace, and after An Xueluo got off the sedan chair, the mother led An Xueluo towards the palace Lin Yang Palace, where the queen lived.

"The queen has ordered, the young lady just needs to be with the mother, and there is no need to be restrained." Mama said with a smile. She seems to have regarded An Xue Lonely as the future princess.

Ann Xuluo agreed. After the palace maid reported, as soon as An Xueliao entered the Lin Yang Palace, the queen called her to sit beside her.

"I'll let Mama set you up later, and if you want to play with anything, you can talk about it." The queen gently took An Xulone's hand and said softly.

Before the lantern festival begins, there is a family banquet, which will be attended by the emperor, concubines and princesses. As the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion who was ordered to enter the palace, the queen arranged her next to Gong Shaoxun in order to show her attention.

After Gong Shaoxun sat down, he saw the golden step on An Xulone's head, and secretly sneered, I heard others say that this Miss An was unruly, but he felt that she was very manipulative. Moreover, after so many days, although the eldest prince was anxious, there was no other movement. Gong Shaoxun wondered, what is the eldest prince who has lost the support of his mother and concubine still struggling? And he also learned from the man in black he sent out that the emperor seems to have been sending people to protect him.

This family banquet ended soon, and the concubines all went to play by themselves, "Miss An is not familiar with the palace, so it is better to accompany this king, and also take Miss An to familiarize herself with the palace." Gong Shaoxun took the initiative.

An Xuliao naturally refused easily, so she had to agree, and Gong Shaoxun broke away from Yun Pei and Yurou again, hoping to be alone with An Xueliao.

Gong Shaoxun took An Zhiluo to the remote rockery of the Imperial Garden, although it looked dilapidated on the outside, but a clear spring bubbled from the rockery, and he had already ordered people to hang the best and most exquisite lanterns in the rockery.

Ann was fascinated by the scene in front of her, although it was not as lively as outside, but it was as elegant and quiet as heaven and earth.

"This is where Benwang used to stay when he was a child." Gong Shaoxun spoke slowly, "When I was a child, I was not good at reading, and I was often scolded by my father and the emperor, so sometimes I hid here to sleep or catch small insects. Now when I feel irritable, I come to take a break. ”

An Xulonely looked at Gong Shaoxun's side face, and the colorful light of the lanterns hit his face, quiet and gentle.

"Now you know this place, it's ours." Gong Shaoxun turned his head and reached out to pinch An Xulone's face.

An Xuliao was so frightened that she took two steps back, "Your Highness, don't ...... like this" She lowered her head, not daring to look at Gong Shaoxun.

Gong Shaoxun laughed softly, "Lonely, don't be nervous, take a good look at these lanterns, this is what I specially prepared for you." After saying that, he took An Xulone's hand and walked towards the cave.

These lanterns are really beautiful, much more delicate than the lanterns in the capital, all kinds of flowers, colorful and flickering. And Ann Xue has no intention of appreciating this, she just wants to get out of here quickly.

After reading these lanterns, Gong Shaoxun led An Xulonely to the Huxin Pavilion again. As the name suggests, the pavilion is built in the middle of the Imperial Garden Lake.

An Zhiluo stood in the pavilion, watching the moonlight sprinkle on the lake, the breeze blowing, the lake water rippled, and the moonlight also danced.

"Lonely, I explained to my father that I would marry you to me, are you willing?" Gong Shaoxun gently hugged An Xuliao from behind and whispered in her ear.

An Xue Lonely only felt his warm breath hit her ears, she nervously broke free, and knelt down instead, "Your Highness, the people's daughter already has a heart, please let the people's daughter go......"

Gong Shaoxun was not annoyed, he helped An Xue Lonely up and helped her plug Jin Bu Shake up, "It's okay, Lonely...... I'll wait until you're willing, and I hope you'll think about it, and you, as the concubine of the Prime Minister's House, do what you're supposed to do. ”

An Xuliao didn't dare to look at Gong Shaoxun's face, his tone of voice was very slow and gentle, but An Xuliao listened, but he trembled.

"Lonely, I will explain to my father that I only like you, if you don't want to, then I'm willing not to marry in this life." Gong Shaoxun still had a gentle tone, but An Xulone, who lowered his head, couldn't see the viciousness and ruthlessness in his eyes.

Gong Shaoxun knows An Xulone's character, and it can be seen from her reluctance to involve her father that she is soft-hearted, she is simple, and she is not deeply involved in the world. He wants to grasp her weakness, he wants to threaten An Jiyong's faction with An Xulone, help him get rid of the eldest prince, help him ascend to the throne, and then use his father's method to pull out the power of the An Xiangfu.

An Xuliao knew that Gong Shaoxun was using her more, but she didn't know that Gong Shaoxun was playing a big game of chess, and his viciousness far exceeded An Xulone's cognition.
