Emperor Yong'an left, pushed open the door and stepped out of the snow, ignoring the weeping Lingxi who was kneeling on the ground, nor did he go to the Yinshuang Pavilion to see the heartbroken An Xiaowan.

The scar on An Xiaowan's left cheek, like a heavy hammer, smashed Emperor Yong'an's heart.

After returning to the Zichen Hall with a cold face, Emperor Yong'an sat alone in the inner hall and was silent.

Gonggong Feng didn't dare to persuade him, he knew that Emperor Yong'an had found An Xiaowan, but he didn't know why Emperor Yong'an didn't have a smile of joy.

Emperor Yongan raised his hand and picked up a picture scroll on the desk and opened it, and An Xiaowan's once beautiful face appeared in front of him.

For countless days and nights, Emperor Yong'an was looking at 'painting' and thinking about people. Once he used his hand to touch An Xiaowan's face on the scroll, and confessed countless times in his heart, as long as he was given another chance, he would definitely take care of her and would not let her suffer half a point of grievance.

But now......

Looking at the person smiling warmly on the picture scroll, Emperor Yong'an's heart suddenly rose with monstrous anger.

Raising his hand to tear off the scroll, Emperor Yong'an drove out all the servants guarding the palace.

Suddenly, there was a continuous sound of broken porcelain in the Zichen Palace.

Gonggong Feng stood at the door of the inner hall, listening to the sound of broken porcelain. Quietly walking outside the hall, he whispered to Xiao Jingzi, "You go to the Lingyan Hall to inquire and see if you can find out any news." ”

Xiao Jingzi saw that Gonggong Feng had a straight face, and hurriedly ran out after answering.

---------

In the Frost Pavilion, Lingxi sat on the bed in the dormitory, and asked An Xiaowan, who was sobbing, "Xiaowan, do you regret it?" ”

An Xiaowan stretched out her right hand and tightly held Lingxi's left wrist, her body trembled slightly, and tears fell down her eyes. But she forcibly held back her crying and said to Lingxi, "Concubine Yingniang, just once, I will cry for the last time." ”

"I know there's no value in crying right now, but I can't help it." An Xiaowan raised her hand and wiped the tears from her face with her sleeve, "After crying today, An Xiaowan will become the An Xiaowan you want, and don't shed a useless tear." ”

Lingxi stretched out his right hand, wiped away the warm tears from the corners of An Xiaowan's eyes, and said softly, "With him like this, do you still want to stand by his side?" ”

An Xiaowan was slightly stunned, and tears flowed out again. She bit her lip tightly, trying to hold back the cry, and her shoulders shook even more.

After a long time, An Xiaowan nodded affirmatively and choked up, "Yes, I want to stand by his side." ”

Lingxi let out a long sigh, "Why are you so stupid? You know I'm using you, you know he cares about your ruined face, why do you want to squeeze into this right and wrong. ”

"Concubine Yingniang, you once told me. As long as you step into this harem, you will be in the middle of right and wrong. You can't hide, and I can't hide either. An Xiaowan closed her eyes and let the tears flow, "If I don't stand by his side, I can only go back to the cold palace to live." And then what? Live calmly to the point where you are pale, like a white mother-in-law? But I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled......"

An Xiaowan opened her eyes, her eyes were red, "He said that he would take care of me for the rest of my life, but in the end, he put me in the cold palace." He said he would love me until I grew old, but now he dislikes my ruined appearance. An Xiaowan raised her hand to caress the ugly scar on her face, and said with a sad smile, "He spoiled me to heaven, but he threw me into hell fiercely." From the beginning to the end, I only have the right to accept, and I have no right to say no......"

Lingxi looked at An Xiaowan, who had a trace of hatred in her eyes, and said lightly, "Xiaowan, he is the emperor." It's the master of this harem, and even the entire Dashun......"

"But he's still my Yilang!" An Xiaowan interrupted Lingxi's words, and said in a trembling voice, "He and I spent the moon and swore an alliance with me, and ...... with me."

"And what do you want?"

"How?" An Xiaowan picked up the handkerchief and wiped away the tears on her face. Although his eyes were red and swollen, he smiled brightly at Lingxi, "I want to smile and stand beside him and become the woman he loves the most." ”

Lingxi's heart was shocked, for the confident madness in An Xiaowan's tone.

-----------------

On the seventh day of the first month of the ninth year of Yong'an, the search of the palace for several days stopped in the complaints of the concubines.

On the eleventh day of the first month of the ninth year of Yong'an, Emperor Yong'an recruited the attendants of the Yuebaolin Ganlu Palace, who had just lifted the grounding.

After hearing the news, Lingxi finally put down the heart that had been carrying it for a few days. took a bite of the teacup handed over by Qiaozhu, and a comfortable smile appeared on his face.

In the past few days, Lingxi has been worried that An Xiaowan will become an outcast, and now it seems that her worries are superfluous.

On the thirteenth day of the first month of the ninth year of Yong'an, Emperor Yong'an recruited Xingyue Baolin Manna Hall to sleep.

On the fourteenth night of the first month of the ninth year of Yong'an, An Xiaowan wore a royal blue cloak and appeared on the rockery of Taihe Palace again. Watching Emperor Yong'an's dragon chariot drive past the jade road, An Xiaowan turned around and disappeared into the shadow of the rockery.

Emperor Yong'an looked at the royal blue figure, and his heart tightened.

Gonggong Feng also saw it, he looked up at Emperor Yong'an's eyes, and swallowed the word 'Wan Concubine' that he was about to spit out back into his throat.

The fifteenth day of the first month of the ninth year of Emperor Yong'an, Shangyuan Festival. In addition to holding a banquet in the palace of Baohe, a lot of lanterns were hung in the imperial garden. In fact, the most dazzling thing is the ice lantern that Lingxi got in Yongshou Palace many years ago to please filial piety and the empress dowager.

Often for more than ten years, there are already craftsmen in the palace who are in charge of ice carving in winter. And those ice lanterns have also become more diverse.

That night, the five princesses held an ice lantern of an ice rabbit in their hands, and held the hands of the five princes to play happily in the imperial garden.

Xia Qing Cailan and the little palace maids followed closely behind the five princesses and the five princes, afraid that the two little masters would accidentally have an accident.

Lingxi held the hand of the lotus leaf, stood on the right side of the Empress Dowager Xiaohe, and smiled happily at the crystal clear ice lamps around her.

Concubine Rou stood on the left side of the Empress Dowager Xiaohe, and said to the Empress Dowager Xiaohe with a smile, "Empress Dowager, who did you say came up with this thing?" It's really beautiful! When the candle flame was put inside, it was not extinguished. The concubine heard that the allusion to the marriage of our Dashun princess Talian is also related to this lighting. ”

Xian Guifei stood on the left side of Concubine Rou, she smiled when she heard this, and without waiting for Xiao and the Empress Dowager to reply, she answered first, "The concubine heard that the idea of this ice sculpture was thought up by King Rui, so that Empress Dowager Bo smiled." ”

Hearing the word Rui Wang, Lingxi turned around lightly and handed his gaze to Xian Guifei, just in time to see Xian Guifei looking at him with a smile.

Lingxi's eyes showed two points of sarcasm, and he sneered in his heart that the noble concubine was as cowardly as a mouse!

Filial piety and the Empress Dowager hurt Lingxi, and the noble concubines were already afraid to the extreme. Except for mentioning the spirit rhino at this moment, she held the handle of the spirit rhino in her hand, and she couldn't think of a better countermeasure for a while.

It's a pity that the concubine's mind was used at the wrong time.

At this time, Lingxi's heart was all spread on how to match Emperor Yongan and An Xiaowan, how could he have the kung fu to pay attention to the noble concubines.

The Empress Dowager Xiaohe glanced back at Lingxi, and then said to Concubine Rou and Concubine Xian with a smile, "It is indeed something that King Rui came up with." Talian's marriage is related to this, and it can be regarded as a good story. In the eighteenth year of Yonghe, the Dayue Kingdom passed on the national letter to marry a princess of Dashun in order to marry the two Qin and Jin dynasties. At that time, there were four princesses of the right age in the harem...... Girl, it's four, right? The Empress Dowager Xiaohe turned around and asked Lingxi.

Lingxi bowed slightly, and the steps on his head shook lightly in his ears, "If you go back to your ancestors, you are the four princesses." ”

The Empress Dowager Xiaohe turned around again and smiled at Concubine Rou, "Those four princesses are really as beautiful as flowers, and the first emperor can't make up his mind for a while which one to choose to be the queen of Dayue." So the mourning family ordered the craftsman to make three ice lotus flowers and one crystal lotus, and let the four princesses choose by themselves. At that time, the fifth princess was a good fortune, she picked a crystal lotus, and then got married happily. ”

Xiao and the Empress Dowager's tone was laughing, but Lingxi, who knew the truth, sighed for Princess Siran in her heart.

Concubine Ren stood on the right side of Lingxi, and laughed happily after listening to the words of Xiao and the Empress Dowager, "Empress Dowager, when Empress Siran married Dayue, the concubine watched the ceremony, and the concubine thought at that time, this princess is really a fairy flying down from the sky, I don't know what kind of place can raise such a beauty." Later......"

"And then you got married, didn't you?" Lingxi teasingly took Concubine Ren's words and said with a smile, "How about it, when will you give birth to a little fairy for the emperor again?" ”

Concubine Ren's face turned red, and she said coquettishly to Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager, "Empress Dowager, look at Concubine Ying's sharp mouth!" You take care of her, you take care of her~"

Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager said to Concubine Ren with great righteousness, "Concubine Ren, don't panic, the mourning family will make the decision for you." As he spoke, he turned his head to Lingxi and said, "You little monkey, you have sharp teeth!" The mourning family will punish you for giving birth to a little princess to the emperor, otherwise the mourning family will not love you. ”

"Oops!" Lingxi stomped his feet and said with a coquettish smile, "The concubines don't follow, and the old ancestor and the concubine make fun of the concubines." ”

Concubine Rou and Concubine Xian, who were standing on the other side, had already laughed very cooperatively.

Emperor Yong'an stood in the distance, looking at an ice lantern carved into the shape of a flying dragon with his hands behind his back. Yue Baolin has been very favored recently, standing beside Emperor Yong'an, pointing at the eyes of the flying dragon, and said with a coquettish smile, "Your Majesty, that giant dragon is really beautiful." ”

Emperor Yong'an hummed, and turned his head sideways to see that Yue Baolin and An Xiaowan had a three-point expression. Looking at it, he actually felt that it was An Xiaowan who was standing beside him at this time, not Yue Baolin.

"Your Majesty, look," Yue Baolin suddenly pointed to the sky above the Imperial Garden and said to Emperor Yong'an, "Look, someone has put a Kong Ming lantern!" ”

Emperor Yong'an raised his head, and his eyes were attracted by the Kong Ming lantern painted with green bamboo in the night sky.

Yue Baolin smiled, "Looking at the direction, it looks like a ...... released from the Yongle Palace."
