Yue Baolin's voice was not loud, but he successfully directed the eyes of the nearby concubines to the huge Kong Ming lantern above the imperial garden.

The Empress Dowager also raised her eyes and looked into the air.

Concubine Rou tightened the royal blue cloak on her body, looked back at Lingxi and smiled, "Sister Yingfei, there are no concubines in your palace who have not come out." I didn't appreciate the good ice lanterns in this imperial garden, but I put Kong Ming lanterns in the palace. He glanced at Emperor Yong'an again, and the smile on his face was even more meaningful, "I'm afraid, this light is in my eyes." ”

Lingxi looked at Concubine Rou and said with a smile, "When my sister left the palace, she brought out all the sisters in the palace. In fact, it looks like the top of Yongle Palace, but it is not an exaggeration to say that it is above Penglai Palace. ”

Lingxi turned around and asked Concubine Ling behind him, and said with a smile, "Concubine Ling, are there any concubines in your palace who are said to be sick but have not come out?" ”

Concubine Ling withdrew her gaze from Kong Ming's lantern and smiled lightly at Ling Xi, "There is really one in the concubine's palace, it is Ning Cai who lives in the Moon Xuan. But she's so sick......"

After the Empress Dowager Xiaohe lowered her head, she said with a smile, "This Kong Ming lantern is good, but it can't fly." ”

As Xiao and the Empress Dowager were talking, the Kong Ming lantern that flew into the air really fell from the sky and fell into the Yongle Palace.

Xian Guifei let out a low voice, then covered her chest and smiled softly, "It seems that it was really released from Yongle Palace, it may be a palace maid who is ingenious......"

Concubine Rou handed the warm hand stove in her hand to the palace maid beside her, turned back to Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager and said, "Empress Dowager, how do you know that Kong Ming lantern can't fly?" ”

"Mourning family," the Empress Dowager Xiaohe smiled at Concubine Rou, "Don't look at the mourning family who has never made this Kong Ming lantern with their own hands, but they know a truth." No matter what is in this world, as long as it wants to go higher, then there are few things on it that can stumble its steps. Look at the Kong Ming lantern just now, it is indeed beautiful enough. But it's too big, it can't fly high~"

"I can still learn things with my ancestors." Lingxi smiled, "A Kong Ming lantern that flew into the air and fell was said by the old ancestor to be the first to be the way. ”

"But it's a pity." Concubine Ren still looked at the direction in which Kong Ming's lantern fell, "It's all flying so high, you must have broken your bones when you fall." ”

As he spoke, he glanced back at Concubine Rou, raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Concubine Rou, I'm right." ”

Concubine Rou was stunned by Concubine Ren's question, and replied with a smile, "Concubine Ren said this, and the palace didn't go to Yongle Palace to see it, how would you know what the Kong Ming lantern looks like?" You might as well ask Concubine Ying," Concubine Rou pointed at Lingxi and said with a smile, "You let her go back and have a good look, and I'll be okay to reply to you tomorrow." ”

"You're a truth-seeker," Lingxi saw that Concubine Ren really looked at herself, and said with a smile, "When I go back to the palace to show you, by the way, I will also see if it is the Kong Ming lantern put by the people in my palace, and it will also solve the doubts in your hearts~"

The Empress Dowager Xiaohe is talking lively, and Emperor Yong'an has already raised his steps and walked in the direction of Taihe Palace.

Yue Baolin hurriedly followed behind, and the sedan voice shouted, "Your Majesty ......"

Emperor Yong'an paused, turned back and pointed to Yue Baolin and said, "You will accompany the Empress Dowager here to watch the lights, and I will go back to deal with some miscellaneous matters." ”

Yue Bao Lin Fu lowered his body and said yes, twisted the Jinpa in his hand, and watched Emperor Yong'an walk away.

Lingxi looked at the direction of Emperor Yong'an's departure, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but provoke a smile, and he turned back to Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager, "Ancestor, the concubine just saw an ice lantern carved in the shape of a nine-tailed phoenix over there. I heard the craftsman say that there is a riddle in each of the nine tails of the phoenix......"

"Oh, really?" The Empress Dowager Xiaohe looked in the direction of Lingxi's pointing and said, "Then go over and take a look, you can all guess for a while, if you guess correctly, the mourning family will be rewarded!" ”

In the Frost Pavilion, An Xiaowan was sitting on the low kang in a daze.

Hanyu came in from outside, and after saluting An Xiaowan, she said, "Concubine Wanniang, the emperor has already entered Yongle Palace." ”

An Xiaowan nodded when she heard this, stood up expressionlessly, and Ren Hanyu put on a heavy pink cloak for herself.

After shaking the grape hairpin with half of the broken hairpin on the bun, An Xiaowan took a deep breath and walked outside the Frost Pavilion.

In the courtyard, Hanyu had already led two little palace maids to light countless red candles on the snow. The red candles glow brightly, reflecting the snow in the courtyard with an intoxicating flush.

An Xiaowan walked into the snow and squatted down in front of a red candle. Looking at the dazzling candlelight, An Xiaowan waited for Emperor Yongan to come.

After about a cup of tea, An Xiaowan heard the sound of soft snow treading behind her.

Without raising her head, the tears in An Xiaowan's eyes fell first.

According to the excerpts discussed between An Xiaowan and Lingxi, at this time, An Xiaowan should kneel in front of the red candle, fold her hands, and say to the candlelight, "Believer An Xiaowan, pray to God to bless Yilang Long's health." And so on some of the daughter's affectionate words.

But when Emperor Yong'an approached, An Xiaowan couldn't do anything except cry. An Xiaowan once again scolded herself in her heart for being stupid, so stupid that she couldn't meet the ruthlessness required by Lingxi, and she was so stupid that she was not worthy of standing by Emperor Yong'an's side to accompany Emperor Yong'an.

But no matter how stupid she is, she has to do this red now.

Hearing the footsteps getting closer and closer, An Xiaowan sat on the snow helplessly and cried bitterly. In desperation, she picked up the red candle at her side and lit the cloak on her body.

Seeing that the cloak was ignited by the fire, An Xiaowan choked up in her throat, and cried in frustration, "Yilang, to be able to reunite with you Wan'er is already dead without regrets." Wan'er has no shame to see you again in this life, so you should treat Wan'er as if she never appeared again......"

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Yong'an had already gritted his teeth and picked An Xiaowan up from the snow, and quickly took off the burning cloak and threw it aside.

At the moment when An Xiaowan wanted to commit suicide, Emperor Yong'an finally understood where his irritability came from in the past few days.

He wants An Xiaowan, no matter if An Xiaowan looks good at this time, whether she is disfigured or not!

An Xiaowan looked at Emperor Yong'an in a daze, reached out to touch Emperor Yong'an's face, and asked in a very small voice, "I'm not dreaming." ”

When she felt the temperature on Emperor Yong'an's face, An Xiaowan suddenly withdrew her hand. Then he covered his face with his left hand, turned around and ran towards the Frost Pavilion.

But her movements were not as fast as Emperor Yong'an's. Emperor Yong'an hugged her from behind and said loudly, "Wan'er, don't run." ”

"You, you recognize the wrong person...... An Xiaowan covered her face tightly with her hands, and cried to Emperor Yong'an, "You recognize the wrong person, I am not An Xiaowan, An Xiaowan has been burned to death in the cold palace......"

Emperor Yong'an looked at An Xiaowan's hairpin on the hairpin that had broken the grape step sway, and his voice tightened, "If you are not Wan'er, why are you wearing the step shake that I polished for Wan'er on your head?" There are a total of twenty-eight broken jades, and I have to grind them by hand for half a month to get them right......"

"Don't say it!" An Xiaowan stomped her feet and cried loudly, "I beg you not to say it, you leave now, you will treat me as a ......"

"I never believed you were dead." Emperor Yong'an turned An Xiaowan's body and took away An Xiaowan's hand covering his face, facing the scar on An Xiaowan's face so closely for the first time.

After a long time, he stretched out his hand to stroke it, and his heart was full of self-blame. If he hadn't beaten An Xiaowan into the cold palace at that time, An Xiaowan would not have such a scar on her face.

"You don't care about the scar on my face?" An Xiaowan looked at Emperor Yong'an's eyes with pain and asked, "You don't care if I'm ugly now?" ”

"I don't care."

An Xiaowan loudly denied Emperor Yong'an's words in her heart, but her face showed a hint of joy, "You're not afraid that others will say that you have an ugly concubine who looks like no salt?" ”

Emperor Yong'an hugged An Xiaowan into his arms and sighed, "You are my concubine, if anyone dares to make irresponsible remarks behind her back, I will cut off her head!" ”

An Xiaowan wrapped her arms around Emperor Yong'an's waist and cried in a low voice, "What Concubine Yingniang said is right, the emperor has me in his heart." It's good that I didn't do anything stupid, it's good that I didn't do anything stupid, Yilang, otherwise we'll have to meet in the next life......"

On the sixteenth day of the first month of the ninth year of Yong'an, Emperor Yong'an issued a decree to enshrine the concubine from the third grade to the third grade of the concubine. And ordered the repair of the Yide Palace Yiyang Palace, which had been vacant for a year.

Before the completion of the Yiyang Palace, Wan Guifei temporarily lived in the Frost Pavilion of the Lingyan Palace.

Emperor Yong'an decreed, and the six palaces were in an uproar.

No one knows where this Wan Gui Concubine, who is rumored to be a ghost, came from, and no one knows what is so unique about this Wan Gui Concubine that actually made Emperor Yong'an fall in love with it.

In the discussion of the concubines, Lingxi and An Xiaowan sat in the Lingyan Palace, chatting happily over tea.

On the carved table in front of them was a glass vase, in which were inserted a few red plums that emitted bursts of fragrance.

Lingxi looked at An Xiaowan, who was sitting opposite him, and said softly, "I thought he would directly promote you to a concubine or a concubine, but I didn't expect that he would only seal you as a concubine." ”

An Xiaowan looked at the peony embroidered with gold thread on her sleeve, and her tone was indifferent, "What does it matter what position I am in, it's not just a false name?" ”

Lingxi put down the teacup in his hand and laughed lightly, "You can see it." ”

"No matter how bad it is, I've experienced it, what else can't I see?"

"Yes." Lingxi nodded, picked up the small scissors on the table to cut off the extra plum blossoms on the plum branches, and said, "Those who come out of hell will feel that every place except hell is heaven. ”

An Xiaowan lowered her head and continued to look at the peony embroidered with gold thread on the sleeve.

Xiao Dezi walked in from the outside, and said with a smile on his face after greeting Lingxi and An Xiaowan, "Niangniang, Wangui Concubine Niangniang, the emperor is coming to the Lingyan Palace, and half a cup of tea will be there." ”

After hearing this, An Xiaowan raised her head, hung that innocent and kind face on her face, and asked Lingxi in a timid voice, "Concubine Yingniang, can Concubine Wan's makeup be neat?" ”

Lingxi nodded to An Xiaowan with great satisfaction, and said with a smile, "Quite neat." ”
