343 lanterns

Ling Jiantong took the jade pendant out of the door of the gambling house, and went directly to Jiao Zi Pavilion, the distance between the gambling house and Jiao Zi Pavilion is not very far, if the pace is fast enough, the time should come.

I didn't know when I came to Jiao Zi Pavilion last time, Jiao Zi Ge is the same as ever, and there are many girls, Ling Jiantong still knows it.

However, this Jiao Zi Pavilion is so big, where to start?

Ling Jiantong was a little anxious, in order not to make Situ Qianchen wait too long and become suspicious, she could only go to the old bustard of Jiao Zige, only to give some money, there should be no problem.

I don't know if it's because of the Lantern Festival today, there are a lot of guests in Jiao Zi Pavilion, and Ling Jiantong is sweating profusely, but he still hasn't even found any trace of the old bustard.

Suddenly, the candlelight in the hall dimmed, and when it lit up again, there were several dancing girls standing in the center of the Jiaozi Pavilion platform, presumably dancing to please those male guests.

Ling Jiantong was not interested, but when the rhythm sounded, Ling Jiantong froze in place,

The sound of this flute ......

The flute player was sitting at the back of the platform, and Ling Jiantong couldn't help but get closer......

Is he really in the capital?

Behind the curtain hanging on the ground, the breeze blew a corner, and Ling Jiantong clearly saw the man sitting on the chair playing the flute, just a side face, the candlelight was very dim, Ling Jiantong didn't see it very clearly, but it was seven or eight points similar to Mu Jinghong.

That's right, it should be him.

Yes, that's him!

Ling Jiantong was in the midst of the noisy crowd, but for some reason she could only hear the sound of the man's flute and his own pounding heartbeat......

"Mu Jinghong......"

Ling Jiantong muttered, a happy look on her face, and the next moment she was going to desperately look for it, but before she took two steps, her abdomen suddenly became uncomfortable, she covered her mouth, found a corner, and retched violently.

Ling Jiantong almost forgot that she was pregnant now, but the father of the child in her womb was not Mu Jinghong, but Situ Qianchen.

Even if she recognized him now, how could she explain it all to him?

He'll just think she's unfaithful and unfaithful, and doesn't want her, right?

It's better not to recognize each other than that.

In this way, they can still stay in each other's hearts for the best of their best.

Ling Jiantong didn't know how she walked out of the gate of Jiao Zi Pavilion, obviously the person she was thinking about was close to the ruler, but she still had to choose to leave ruthlessly.

Li'er is right, she looks like this, and she is no longer worthy of standing by Mu Jinghong's side.

She's not clean anymore.

Ling Jian's pupil's heart was like a knife, and all the bitter tastes were in her heart, but she covered her mouth and nose tightly, she couldn't cry, and she couldn't have red circles, otherwise if Situ Qianchen saw it, she would be suspicious again.

After Ling Jiantong pawned the jade pendant at the pawnshop, he took the money and went directly back to the private room on the second floor.

Xu Ye was obviously impatient to wait, scolding in the house, Ling Jiantong stood outside the door to sort out his mood, raised his head and tried his best to hold back the tears, and then deliberately pretended to be in a hurry, and pushed the door open suddenly.

Situ Qianchen sat there, his back stiff, and raised his eyes to look at her.

Ling Jiantong hurriedly put the silver ticket in his sleeve on the table, and he was not busy wiping the sweat stains with his sleeve, and smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, there are too many people in the pawnshop, I queued up for a while, and when I came out, I saw jugglers in the market again, and I was excited to see it for a while, so I came back late, I'm sorry......"

Ling Jiantong apologized again and again, but Situ Qianchen did not blame her, but reached out to straighten her hanging black hair.

The gambling game began, although Ling Jiantong's eyes were staring at the gambling table, her mind was no longer there, and her mind was full of Mu Jinghong who was sitting behind the curtain and playing the flute.

She didn't know why he stayed in Jiao Zige to play the flute, and she didn't know if the reason why he stayed in the capital was partly for himself.

It wasn't until Xu Ye's wailing came from the opposite side that Ling Jiantong came back to his senses and saw Situ Qianchen take the 50,000 taels of silver tickets that Xu Ye put on the table.

Is this a win?

In Situ Qianchen's dice, there are five dice, all of which are six characters facing up.

Ling Jiantong was unbelievable, this emperor, who was high in the Yonghe Hall on weekdays, actually won Xu Ye, who had won three days in a row, with only one game?!

"You...... Do you usually play dice? ”

Ling Jiantong had every reason to be suspicious, but Situ Qianchen shook his head innocently.

That's too godly, isn't it?

It's okay to get back a game, Situ Qianchen has made a lot of money now, and he only brought 20,000 taels of silver tickets when he went out, but now he has won back 100,000 taels of silver tickets.

Out of the gate of the gambling house, Situ Qianchen told Ling Jiantong what the real trick was to win.

Wrist and hearing.

Situ Qianchen marched and fought before, and he would not sleep well at night, because the enemy army could sneak attack at any time, so he didn't sleep in bed, he slept on the ground, and over time, as soon as there was a stir, she could hear it clearly, only the strength of the wrist, he was a sword practitioner, naturally it was not a problem.

It turns out that playing a gamble is so exquisite.

No wonder she could lose 20,000 taels, but he could win back 100,000 taels with one hand.

The Lantern Festival was almost over, and they naturally took the carriage back to their home, and on the way, the carriage passed by Jiao Zi Pavilion again, but Ling Jiantong never heard the flute just now.

Did he leave too?

Ling Jiantong felt a sense of loss in her heart, but she couldn't show it on her face, it turned out that after a long time, she had also learned to disguise.

The carriage entered the gate of the palace and went all the way, not stopping at the gate of Weiyang Palace, but stopping at the imperial garden.

With Situ Qianchen's support, Ling Jiantong stepped out of the carriage and saw a small boat parked by the lake in the Imperial Garden.

Situ Qianchen took Ling Jiantong's hand and helped her sit on the boat.

The lake was very large, Situ Qianchen rowed the boat with his own hands, they sat facing each other, Ling Jiantong was a little worried, so nervous that he grabbed the boat gang.

"Situ Qianchen, where are you taking me?"

"You'll find out later."

It was pitch black all around, but after a while, Ling Jiantong vaguely felt that there was light behind him, at first it was only a very faint light, Ling Jiantong thought it was the lantern candlelight of the guards patrolling, but later, the light became brighter and brighter, directly illuminating half of the sky from day and night, until finally, it was directly like daylight.

Ling Jiantong couldn't help but look back, only to see a huge pear blossom-shaped lantern floating in the middle of the lake.

With such a big lantern, Ling Jiantong was the first time in his life that he had seen it.

If you are left in modern times, you may be able to apply for the Guinness Book of World Records.

Ling Jiantong slowly stood up, and under the big lantern, she was small into a speck of dust.

The candlelight in the lantern illuminated Ling Jiantong's body, and Situ Qianchen also stood up, looking at Ling Jiantong's slightly raised lips with a smile.

She smiled so beautifully, her eyes were bright, as if she had hidden a star, her fair cheeks, her skin was like fat and jade, although she was not the most beautiful, but in Situ Qianchen's heart, Ling Jiantong was already full of thousands of people in the world.

"That's what you're going to show me?"

Ling Jiantong looked back at Situ Qianchen, who was staring at him in a trance.

Situ Qianchen nodded, and then he cautiously walked behind her and said softly, "How is it?" Like it or not? ”

Just looking at such a scene is enough to shock, and as for liking, of course I like it.

But Ling Jian Tong couldn't speak, as if she only needed to say the word "like", as if she had accepted Situ Qianchen's feelings.

After a long time, Ling Jiantong squeezed out these four words from between his teeth: "It's very good-looking." ”

Situ Qianchen also knew that this was already the limit of Ling Jiantong, he didn't expect that Ling Jiantong would completely forget Mu Jinghong, and turn his head to give him a hug, in that case, she would not be her, and it would not be the Ling Jiantong that Situ Qianchen liked.

Everything he does is just to make her happy, and as long as she smiles, everything he does is worth it.

God knows, he handed over the drawings of the pear blossom-shaped lantern to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and asked them to complete it within half a month, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs spent many manpower, material and financial resources to complete it day and night.

Now, her simple sentence of "it's good-looking" is worth it.

"Would you like to go up and have a look?"

Ling Jiantong blinked, I heard you right, can there still be people standing on this lantern?

Situ Qianchen took Ling Jiantong's hand, followed the obscure staircase on the side of the lantern, and walked up step by step, it was a rotating staircase, and when they reached the top, they stood in the center of the core of the pear blossom.

The line of sight is very open, and you can see almost all the scenes of the palace.

It feels so good to climb up, blowing the wind, as if all your worries are gone with the wind.

Ling Jiantong closed her eyes slightly, enjoying the feeling of the breeze blowing on her face.

Situ Qianchen stood side by side with her, looking into the distance, the breeze blew the corners of his clothes, and he opened his lips slightly: "Cut your pupils, I'm sorry." ”

"Huh?"

It is rare to hear the words "I'm sorry" from Situ Qianchen's mouth.

Situ Qianchen looked at her sideways, and said earnestly: "I am very sorry for everything I did to you before and the harm I caused to you. ”

With such a beautiful view, why do you say such a bad thing.

In fact, this month's day and night get along, Situ Qianchen is good to her, she sees it in her eyes, if she can't let go of Mu Jinghong in her heart, maybe, she will really be moved.

Situ Qianchen is a good man, but compared to Mu Jinghong, he still feels a little worse.

"Let's not talk about this, as long as you do your emperor well in the future, and govern the world well, it's fine."

Ling Jiantong didn't want to talk about it, after all, those were scabbed scars, and if they were torn open again, they would only be painfully killed.

It's good now, standing side by side, blowing the wind, looking at each other without saying a word, such a quiet way of getting along belongs to her and Situ Qianchen more.
