The night is thick, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and the air is filled with the unique coolness of early spring. A thin layer of mist seemed to rise from the surface of the lake, making the reflection of a bright moon in the water less clear, and only the sound of the lake lapping against the reef on the shore could be heard.

The eight-treasure glazed palace lamp lit on the promenade of the trail is under the cover of the white veil, far and near, faintly, like a little starlight falling for nine days. The Penglai Hall at night seems to be a little more beautiful than the daytime.

Han Yue took Zi Mo and Zi Su to walk slowly on the corridor, and after this cool evening breeze blew, Han Yue only felt that the drunkenness was blown away a lot, and her head was not dizzy at the moment, but she had the leisure to enjoy the beautiful scenery around her.

Walking to the back of Penglai Palace, I saw several palace maids guarding the corner, looking ahead, and their faces were a little anxious. Han Yue walked forward with a little doubt, and the palace maid who took the lead saw Han Yue coming, so she took the palace maid behind her and saluted, "Slave maid and maid are splendid and see Princess Jing." Han Yue saw that the palace maid in front of her was well-dressed, so she knew that it was the big palace maid in the palace, she smiled gently, stretched out her hand and said, "Auntie doesn't have to be polite." ”

Han Yue followed the palace maid's gaze, and saw a four or five-year-old boy sitting on the steps with his hands on his cheeks ten steps away, looking unhappy. Hanyue asked, "Auntie, what's wrong?" ”

The palace maid Jinxiu replied respectfully, "Back to the princess, His Royal Highness the Ten Princes played some petty tricks at the banquet, and was reprimanded by Shen Zhaoyi Niangniang, and His Royal Highness ran out in a fit of anger, and the slave and maid didn't listen to any persuasion." The slaves had no choice but to stand by the side. ”

The sound of Han Yue talking to the palace maid Jinxiu attracted the attention of the tenth prince Nangong Xuan, who turned his face to look at this side, and then turned his face away angrily. It's a pink-carved snow doll, just one glance, Han Yue instantly liked the child in front of her, "Auntie, can you give it a try?" ”

The palace maid was a little surprised when she heard this, and her expression immediately returned to the same as before, and she smiled slightly, "There is Princess Lao." ”

Han Yue walked to Nangong Xuan's side, she took out a butterfly orchid silk handkerchief, gently brushed the ground of the steps, and then sat down. Nangong Xuan originally thought that Han Yue was his mother or Aunt Jinxiu who moved to persuade her rescuer, but she just sat quietly with him without asking or persuading.

Nangong Xuan would peek at Han Yue a few times from time to time, and he was really a little curious about the beautiful sister beside him who didn't say a word, but he felt that he was still angry after all, so he held back what he wanted to say. But ah, this child is a child after all, and he can't hide his thoughts, Nangong Xuan finally couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Han Yue turned her head to look at Nangong Xuan and smiled gently, "I am your fourth brother's princess." ”

"Then why are you sitting here?" Nangong Xuan then asked.

"I see that you have been sitting here and not leaving, I must have some beautiful scenery here to attract you, so I wanted to come and see it." Cold Moon replied.

"It's pitch black, there's nothing to see." Nangong Xuan casually picked up a pebble in a flower pot and scratched it around on the ground.

"Oh? So why do you keep sitting here and not leaving? Hanyue asked, pretending to be confused.

Nangong Xuan's movements in his hand paused, he didn't answer Han Yue's words, and then scratched on the ground again. Hanyue didn't urge him, just waited quietly.

After a while, Nangong slowly spoke, "I thought the banquet was very boring, so I clamored for my mother to come out with me to play, but my mother didn't agree, so I lost my temper, and accidentally knocked over the wine glass, and the wine stained the beautiful dress on the side, and the mother immediately scolded me......"

"So you ran out in a fit of rage, didn't you?" Han Yue spoke and added Nangong Xuan's unfinished words.

"Hmm." Nangong Xuan lowered his head, the expression on his face was very lost, presumably recalling the situation when Shen Zhaoyi blamed him.

Han Yue stared at Nangong Xuan for a while, and did not directly persuade to explain, but just told the story to herself, "I remember when I was young, once, my mother took me to a banquet. At that time, I was also a very naughty child, and I liked to play with children of the same age, but I went a little too far, and inadvertently broke one of the vases of the master's house. Seeing this, my mother immediately pulled me over and reprimanded me severely. This scolding in front of everyone made me feel very aggrieved, and I even felt that my mother didn't like me anymore, why didn't she care if I was hurt or not, but blamed me, I thought about it, so the more I cried, the more sad I became. ”

"And then?" Nangong Xuan was already completely attracted by Hanyue's story, and when he saw Hanyue stop talking, he asked eagerly.

The corners of Han Yue's mouth curled, and then she said softly, "Later, I realized that if my mother didn't give me a head start at that time, I wouldn't have a long memory, and I might make more serious mistakes in the future." What's more, people's words are terrifying, and my mother accuses me of protecting me, and I won't show mercy to others. Every child is a piece of meat that fell from his mother's own body, how can there be a mother in the world who does not hurt his own flesh and bones? ”

Nangong Xuan was silent for a long time after listening to Han Yue's words, and then said, "Actually, I know that what I did is wrong, and I also know that my mother is for my good, but the banquet is really boring." ”

When Han Yue heard this, she knew that Nangong Xuan was fine, and what she needed at the moment was to coax him and divert his attention. Han Yue looked around, and finally her eyes fell on a pot of bluegrass beside Nangong Xuan, she reached out and folded a few slender leaves, and after a while, a few leaves were braided into a little rabbit under Han Yue's skillful hands.

"Here you go." Han Yue handed the braided rabbit to Nangong Xuan.

"Wow! Bunny! So cute! You're going to do this! Nangong Xuan looked delighted, and couldn't put down the little rabbit in his hand.

"I'll make a lot of other critters." Hanyue said proudly.

"Fourth sister-in-law, then you can make me a few more." Nangong's face was full of anticipation, and his eyes were full of begging. Han Yue then made a grasshopper and a goldfish, which attracted a burst of worship from Nangong Xuan.

"Okay, we've been out for so long, let's go back. We're going to set off fireworks in a little while, and if you don't go back, you'll miss it. Han Yue looked at Nangong Xuan and said.

At this moment, Nangong Xuan is on the rise, and he is obedient to Hanyue's words. Hanyue brought Nangong Xuan to Aunt Jinxiu, Jinxiu is now sincerely impressed by Hanyue, and she solemnly thanked Hanyue. Then the group returned to the main hall.

After the banquet, everyone came to a large open space in front of the Penglai Hall to wait to watch the fireworks. Su Yanyan went to a corner of the clearing with the support of Yan Cao, and suddenly, Nangong Xuan, who was bouncing in front of her, caught her attention. Maybe it's because she's pregnant, Su Yuyan is very fond of children now, not to mention a child like Nangong Xuan who looks so cute.

Su Yuyan couldn't help but step forward, and Aunt Jinxiu beside Nangong Xuan noticed Su Yuyan walking towards them, so she saluted and said, "Slave maid Jinxiu see Concubine Su." ”

Su Yuyan glanced at Jinxiu, "Well, get up." From the eyes to the tone, it is all a look of superiority.

The big palace maids in the palace have always been respected, even if the ladies of the princes and counties of the country and the county have to give her a little thin face and treat her politely, but the concubine in front of her is so arrogant, with the favor of King Jing, she really regards herself as a princess? Jinxiu secretly scolded herself, but her face did not show a point, she kept her eyebrows down and kept her respectful appearance.

"The Ten Princes are really cute, they look really likable, and this concubine really hopes that her children can be like the Ten Princes after they are born." Su Yanyan said as she stroked her stomach lovingly.

Nangong Xuan was originally looking forward to watching the fireworks, but he didn't notice what Jinxiu was talking about, but at this moment, he suddenly heard Su Pingyan mention him, so he turned to look at Su Pingyan and asked suspiciously, "Who are you?" ”

"I'm your fourth sister-in-law." Su Yuyan smiled and wanted to reach out to touch Nangong Xuan's face. Nangong Xuan intuitively felt that he didn't like the person in front of him, so he turned sideways and dodged. Su Yanyan withdrew her hand slightly embarrassed and pretended to brush her sideburns.

Fourth sister-in-law? Nangong Xuan and Jinxiu both frowned slightly when they heard this, in Dayue, only a main room like Xiao Hanyue is qualified to claim this title. She Su Yuyan, a mere concubine, is so ashamed.

The disgust on Nangong Xuan's face was beyond words, and he looked at Su Yuyan and said coldly, "I only have one fourth sister-in-law, you are not." ”

Suddenly, there was a "bang", and a dazzling light burst out of the horizon in the distance. "Wow, it's finally getting started." Nangong Xuan was attracted by the fireworks in front of him, so he ran to the front and ignored Su Pingyan.

The light rose rapidly, leaving behind a trail of gray smoke. Syllable! A colorful flower bloomed in the air, and the light of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple was in full bloom, spreading to the extreme, and finally gradually turning into countless small points of light, like gems inlaid in the huge night. Then a series of fireworks rose into the sky, and a large number of sparks poured down from the sky, forming a red and golden waterfall, which had the momentum of flying down 3,000 feet. Flowers bloom richly, icing on the cake, flute flower rain, auspicious wishes, colorful glow thunder, golden dragon blessing all kinds of brilliant and dazzling fireworks bloom in the night sky one after another, see everyone is dazzled, straight clapping applause, it is really a fire tree and silver flowers never sleep.

It's just that at this moment, no matter how beautiful the fireworks are, Su Pingyan is in no mood to appreciate them. Her eyes were fixed on the front, and her eyes were full of hatred. She clenched her hands into fists so hard that her whole body trembled slightly, and suddenly, with a "click", the long nails painted with Yin Hongkou Dan were broken violently.

The fireworks in the distance flickered on and off, and the firelight reflected on Su Yuyan's face, showing how distorted her face was like a ghost.
