Since Bai Yuanhui was punished, as Gu Nanye reminded, Qu Muge felt the emperor's snub to him.

Emperor Yong originally asked Qu Muge to go to the Heart Cultivation Hall to eat together every three or five days, even if he couldn't give food because he was busy, he would also appreciate some dishes and gadgets to the Body Yuan Palace, but no one in the Heart Cultivation Hall had ever come to the Body Yuan Hall in the past two days.

She wasn't too anxious, on the one hand, Gu Nanye said that he would help her think of ideas, on the other hand, where could anyone blame her daughter for her brother-in-law doing something wrong? As long as it wasn't for Concubine Yiwen's big mistake before, it wouldn't affect it too much.

But not being in a hurry doesn't mean that she doesn't do anything, she still has to be a "good daughter" as usual.

Qu Muge thought for a while and said to Huanhuan: "Let's make a few lanterns, and wait for the Lantern Festival to present to my father when we enjoy the lanterns, and see if we can ask for a lottery." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll go and prepare the materials." Huanhuan said happily.

There are two key points to tie the lantern, one is to be able to paste the mold, and the other is to be able to paint the lamp surface.

If the mold is delicately made, you can make all kinds of lanterns such as rabbits, dogs, and flowers.

If the lamp surface is painted well, you can draw the eight immortals crossing the sea, the five blessings are coming, and all kinds of auspicious palace lanterns are coming.

But Qu Muge is not particularly good at anything, so he can only imitate the appearance of the simplest lotus lantern, just hoping that this lamp can float on the water.

Tried to tie three lotus lanterns, and after nightfall, Qu Muge took Huanhuan to the lake in the imperial garden to put the lanterns.

The night wind was cold, and the two of them shivered over there in their cloaks, and Feng Hu, who was in charge of guarding the Tiyuan Palace, also followed.

A few people tinkered with the water's edge for a while, but the three lotus lanterns failed to float.

"The wind is too strong, this lamp is unstable, and it flips when it blows." Qu Muge was a little frustrated.

Feng Hu also came up with an idea and said, "The bamboo strips you use are too thick, and they can't float up if they are so heavy, I'll help you thin them a little bit." ”

Huanhuan said: "This paper is not good, it will be wet with a little water." ”

It's not a little bit to improve, it's that Qu Muge thinks too simply: "I thought it was easy, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult to do it myself." Let's go back first, the wind is too cold at night. ”

As soon as the four of them came out of the Imperial Garden, they met the eldest prince and a team of attendants on the Qianqing Square.

"Third Emperor Sister?" Li Youxian was a little surprised, and stepped forward to ask, "Why are you still outside so late." ”

Qu Muge saluted and greeted: "I made a few lotus lanterns, come out and give them a try." ”

Li Youxian nodded and said: "It turns out that my sister will make her own lanterns, this Shangyuan Lantern Festival, I have ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare more than 200 lanterns, and when the time comes, the three emperor sisters will take whichever one they like." ”

The Queen Mother asked Concubine Xian to preside over the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, and Concubine Xian sent a lot of errands to the eldest prince.

"Brother Hard, Emperor." She looked at the material behind Li Youxian that seemed to be Kong Ming lanterns, so she asked, "Brother Huang is going to put Kong Ming lanterns at the Shangyuan Lantern Festival?" ”

Li Youxian smiled and said, "Yes, the blessing of the Kong Ming lantern is the most effective. ”

Qu Muge said with a little worry: "You still have to be careful, so as not to cause a fire if the lamp falls on the palace." ”

Li Youxian's face stiffened, and he said: "There is snow everywhere in winter, it shouldn't be." ”

Qu Muge just said it casually, and he didn't intend to interfere with his plan, and was about to leave, but unexpectedly, the eldest prince suddenly said to her: "Third Emperor Sister, when I was observing government affairs in the past few days, I heard that I was going to remove Dali Siqing and the Criminal Department Shangshu. ”

Qu Muge didn't understand what his intention was to tell himself this, just to comfort himself?

"Thank you, Brother Huang, I know that my father has always loved me."

After the two people separated, Qu Muge was still thinking about this when he returned to the Tiyuan Hall to soak his feet in hot water.

She asked Huanhuan: "Have you heard about anything committed by Dali Temple and the Criminal Department recently?" ”

Huanhuan shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of anything." ”

Previously, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple was derelict in his duties, and the emperor did not blame Dali Temple for the crime of poor management, and now he suddenly wanted to ask for the crime, obviously stimulated by the matter of the second prince, and was frantically cutting the wings of the second prince.

The emperor is a little too urgent to make such a big move in the harem and the court for the second prince, but he is afraid that he will force the dog to jump over the wall.

But what did the eldest prince mean by telling her this?

Qu Muge was puzzled.

On the night of the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, the sky was beautiful, the weather was clear, and the palace was lit up with colorful lights inside and out.

This time, there were more clan relatives invited to the Shangyuan Festival dinner, and the Jiaotai Hall was more lively than during the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

When Qu Muge arrived, there were already many people standing in the hall.

Qu Muge saw that the Queen Mother had arrived, so she went over to greet her old man.

"Say hello to the imperial grandmother, my granddaughter is late."

Empress Dowager Yu was talking to several princesses of the clan and the county lord, and when she heard her greeting her, she said, "Today's festival, you don't have to be restrained in front of me, let's play with your sisters." ”

"Yes, Grandmother Xie."

Not far away, Li Muyan and Li Mujin sat together and talked, seeing Qu Muge coming, the two sisters got up very politely to greet her, and Li Mujin took the initiative to say: "Since the third sister is here, let's go and choose the lanterns together." ”

There are several lamp stands under the corridor outside the Jiaotai Palace, on which are hung all kinds of palace lamps.

Qu Muge smiled and walked out with the two of them, and as soon as she left the palace gate, she felt that there were unkind eyes staring at her in the distance, and when she looked up, it was Li Muzhen.

Li Muzhen stood in front of the lampstand on the left to choose, and Li Mujin pulled Qu Muge and Li Muyan to the lampstand on the right, looking like they were old and dead.

Li Mujin picked a peony lantern, Li Muyan picked a crane lantern, Qu Muge looked left and right, and took down an octagonal palace lamp inlaid with glass pieces from the lampstand.

As soon as she took the lantern off the lampstand, she was hit on the shoulder, and a hand snatched it from her hand.

"I took a fancy to this lamp early in the morning, I just left for a while, why did you snatch my lamp?" Li Muzhen sued first.

Qu Muge stood still, looked at her, and said, "If you want, I'll give it to you." ”

She turned around and took a rabbit lamp next to her, beckoning her two sisters to go.

Li Mujin said indignantly: "Third sister, you are too easy to bully, and the fourth sister likes to bully sisters!" ”

Qu Muge said with a smile: "The glass piece of the palace lamp is broken, I was just going to ask someone to take it for repair, since she doesn't dislike it, then she will keep it." ”

Li Muzhen looked at the backs of the three of them leaving in a hurry, and the Bai family was cut down, and Li Muge really couldn't get proud.

She ordered the palace people to light her glass lamp, but the candle flame was lit and extinguished, and it couldn't be lit at all.

The palace maid Qinghe said: "Princess, this glass lamp is broken, breathable, and can't be lit." ”
