On the fifteenth day, Su Lingyu made a table of good dishes and pulled the two gong'e to eat together.

The courtyard was filled with lanterns, illuminating the courtyard.

Su Lingyu put the dishes and chopsticks and said to one of the palace women: "Red sleeves, you take these dumplings out and let the guards outside eat some." Thank you to them for protecting us. ”

The one named Red Sleeves picked up the plate and wanted to go out, while the other, called Pearl, grabbed her and didn't let her out.

"This is protection, it's obviously house arrest." Pearl said.

Redsleeves stuffed the plate to Pearl, "There you go." ”

"Alas!"

Su Lingyu looked at them, "Why don't you go?" She continued to fiddle with the table, "If you don't go, forget it, put it in the pot and warm it, and wait for the emperor to come and give it to the emperor." ”

Hearing that Princess Qing threatened them with the emperor, how dare they not go.

Su Lingyu said: "You have to change shifts outside, give them some lanterns and take them, it can be regarded as a gift to them." ”

"It's not good." Pearl said.

"Just the most ordinary bunch of lanterns in the corner of the wall, and bring them to practice their hands. By the way, let them take it away, there is no word on it, and you have seen it, let the guards take it away, it is better than wasting it here. ”

Su Lingyu said very casually, whether to give it away or not, just looked at the two girls.

Pearl and Redsleeves looked at each other, and they hesitated.

Before entering the service, they were warned not to leak the affairs of this place, or they would die.

Every few days, someone would come to check on them, come to ask them, and if they leaked something, they would die.

The first two seniors to serve here were given to die. They don't want to die.

In the end, they chose not to send them, but went out with dumplings and distributed them to the guards. Dumplings should not matter, if you eat them, they will not be known.

Su Lingyu put the wine on the table, and saw that they were closed, "Come on, let's drink and eat." ”

At this time, fireworks appeared in the sky, and everyone stood in the open space and watched for a while.

Facing the night sky tonight, Su Lingyu missed the two children at home and remembered Xiao Jingxing.

I don't know how they will spend the Lantern Festival, I hope they can all be well.

"Let's eat." Su Lingyu greeted them.

Su Lingyu put the golden beans on the table, "Let's play a game and take turns to tell a funny story, whoever tells a story that makes a person laugh will get two golden beans." If it's not funny, you'll be fined a glass of wine. ”

Pearl and Red Sleeves looked at each other, and the two of them were excited, just afraid that the emperor would punish them.

Su Lingyu saw their worries, "Don't worry, tonight is the Lantern Festival, and we haven't done anything out of line, so they won't do anything to you." ”

"Come, pour the wine. We rock-paper-scissors, whoever loses comes first. Su Lingyu handed the wine glass out.

Red Sleeves pressed her hand, "Princess, it's not appropriate to drink." Red Sleeves stared at the princess's belly.

Pearl brought the kettle, "The princess just drinks sugar cane juice." ”

"It's okay, don't call me cheating." In order to show their love, Su Lingyu gave out two golden beans by herself.

The three of them came to rock-paper-scissors once, and Su Lingyu failed, she said first.

Su Lingyu said: "In the past, I was in my hometown, and there was a kid named Zhu Jing. Then he went to visit his uncle, who was raising pigs, at his house. As soon as he entered the door, he heard his cousin say: Mother, Zhu Jing is here. My aunt said, "When the pigs come in, drive them out." ”

Both little girls laughed.

"You laughed, punished for drinking, and I got two gold beans." Saying that, Su Lingyu had something to do and gave himself two golden beans.

"Come, let's compare and compare, whoever loses will tell funny stories. There are no funny stories, and neither are other stories. ”

Red Sleeves stood up, "What's wrong over there, Red is in the sky, is it on fire?" ”

"It's on fire, what do we have to do, keep playing with ours." Su Lingyu said.

…………

After the reunion dinner, Prime Minister Han returned to the study to deal with some official business.

Others can be idle, as the prime minister, he has concentrated a lot of power, and he has a lot of affairs in his hands. Moreover, King Qing is eyeing him, and he can't easily let go of the power in his hands.

Han Wen came and knocked on the door, "Father." ”

"Enter."

Han Wen carried the lantern into the house, and then closed the door, "Father, this is the lantern in the imperial garden." ”

Prime Minister Han Cheng didn't look at it, but asked, "What's so special?" ”

"The painting on the top is painted by the emperor, and the rest is nothing special, without any marks and no conspicuous places."

Prime Minister Han picked up the red pen and prepared to approve the recital, "How many lamps did the emperor draw in one piece?" ”

"Just this one, the emperor ordered Gonggong Huan to hang it up, but Gonggong Huan didn't hang it, but handed it to the child."

Prime Minister Han smiled contemptuously, "What's going on with King Qing?" ”

"Kept in the dark."

"Then don't let him know. When he handed over the lantern to the emperor, he said that King Qing had seen something. Let the emperor be suspicious of King Qing. ”

"Yes."

King Qing, who had just cleaned up General Hu, got a lantern from his subordinates.

"This was sent by Gonggong Huan, and the man didn't say anything, just said that it was the Lantern Festival night, and it was given to you, the prince."

Xiao Jingxing took the lantern and checked it, except for the ink treasure on it, which was similar to the emperor's handwriting, the rest were inconspicuous.

But he believed that Gonggong Huan would not, and that sending things for no reason must be hinting at something.

He checked again, but he didn't find anything.

Xiao Jingxing placed the lantern on the table, pondering what this implied.

Wang Lung pulled his robe and walked in, "Lord Wang." ”

Xiao Jingxing glanced up at him, and Wang Lung looked at the unconscious General Hu on the ground, and put an object on the table.

"There was a forbidden army guard on duty, and when he arrived at the pawnshop, he pawned this thing and asked for five hundred taels of silver."

Xiao Jingxing picked up the golden bean, and it was randomly carved twice, and it seemed to be unintentionally made. As soon as Xiao Jingxing saw it, he knew what was being said above.

Once San'er taught him a set of characters, told him that this was the code between her and him, told him to remember, and marked the twenty-six characters.

And the N depicted on this golden bean is one of the codes she taught him.

"Give him five hundred taels, and give him the altar wine, and tell him that this is a gift for the Lantern Festival."

"Yes."

"Wait, from the newly trained people, pick out two people to approach this person, and you must find out where he is on duty."

"Yes."

Wang Lung didn't leave, and asked the prince, "Is there a clue about the princess?" ”

"Almost." Xiao Jingxing asked the person standing outside, "Has the matter over there started?" ”

The masked man looked up at the night sky, looked inside the palace, and saw a red light, "It's burning." ”

It's burning, it's time to go home.

"What should I do with this person?" The masked man asked.

"Chop it, put a stone and sink it into the river."

"Yes."

Wang Lung stopped, "Wait first, kill it like this, it's a pity." This man has been in the palace for many years, and he may be able to ask me something for interrogation. ”

The masked man bowed, "There are two boys, they just learned something, and their forehands are very itchy, so it's not bad to practice their hands." ”
