To the fifteenth day of the first month, the spring in the palace is lingering, and the pear blossoms are in full bloom. The Queen Mother gave an edict and said, "It's okay for the palace people to be tired of guessing the lamp today." "The palace people of the division prepared a few paper lanterns early, hung lantern riddles, and after dinner, they called friends and friends to gather around the lamp, guess riddles and eat wine. There was Shanggong Niangniang who came to look at it, and only gently persuaded a few words, and did not restrain more.

Mo Lan drank half a can of peach blossom brew, the wine was strong, and Tong Zifei smiled: "I went out to sober up and sober up, and I was dizzy." ”

Zifei was in trouble, and fisted with people, "Go, go, go, I was blown on the head carefully." ”

"Whoa."

The courtyard is surrounded by palace walls, giving birth to a sense of crampedness. Fortunately, the moonlight is charming, like a thin veil of smoke, like a dream, so that people forget the palace for the time being. In the courtyard, a festive white jade and red gauze lamp was newly hung, swaying, and the figures trembled. Moran suddenly remembered that when he first arrived at his uncle's house, his mother knelt in the shadow of the lamp and shivered, and his heart was melancholy.

"Moran!" Someone suddenly called in the dark.

Mo Lan came back to his senses and followed the sound to the door of the Moon Cave, where there was a palace maid, wearing an indigo palace skirt and carrying a square sheep's horn palace lamp. Mo Lan was overjoyed, the wine also woke up, and he hurriedly greeted him, "Xia Zhi, why are you here?" ”

Xia Zhi said with a smile: "I just went to the Qianyuan Gate Tower with the imperial driver to see the lanterns, drank the imperial wine, and thought about the previous years, you and I with Chunzhu, Daiqiu, and Lindong five people, advanced together to fight tea and gamble wine, what a scenery." It's good now, Chunzhu is dead, Lindong has become a beauty, and you have been relegated to this barren place, and Daiqiu and I are becoming more and more estranged... Hey..."

The two sat on the horizontal stool and bit their ears and spoke, and Mo Lan gently advised: "At present, Shang Mei is deeply favored by the emperor, and my father is promoted to a doctor, and he should have scruples about his reputation when he is a boudoir." You should be more restrained if you are straight-talking and quick-talking. ”

Xia Zhi knew that Mo Lan was doing everything properly, so she sincerely reminded herself, so she smiled: "I know!" She untied a moon-shaped purse from her waist, "You are a hundred times better than me in terms of craftsmanship, and this purse is a little bit of my heart." ”

Only then did Moran realize that she had come to give a gift with a blank eye, and couldn't help but be moved, "Thank you." ”

Xia Zhi said again: "You give Lindong again...... Chaumet made a purse? She was good, and she handed it to the official family, and she won the praise of Hui Zhenlanxin, and with four purses, her father was promoted to the first level. ”

Moran shook her hand and said softly, "Shang Mei is thoughtful, and it is natural for her to be favored. ”

Xia Zhi was unconvinced, "Full of foxy temperament!" ”

Mo Lan glanced around, lowered his voice, and said in Xia Zhi's ear, "You should be more cautious when you speak." In front of others, although she was kind, she was not as good as our sisters' personal friendship that day, and they were on an equal footing. Now that she has become a concubine, her status is different, you and I should be more respectful and humble, and we must not talk nonsense and lose proportion. ”

Xia Zhi understands and no longer theorizes.

At the beginning of the day, Xia Zhi remembered the affairs of the Funing Palace, so she got up and said goodbye.

Back in the Funing Palace, there was a eunuch under the corridor who whispered: "Xia Niangzi can go back, the official family is gossiping with the king of Qinghe County, and she is about to eat tea." ”

Xia Zhi was slightly angry, and her apricot eyes were round, "I'm not the only one in Fengchasi, why do you only tell me?" ”

The eunuch wrinkled his face, "Dai Qiu went to Cining Hall to reply, and Jiaoxi went to the imperial tower to enjoy the lanterns and hasn't come back yet." ”

Xia Zhi muttered a few words, but in the end, she walked patiently to the pantry, boiled a pot of boiling water, took the dragon and phoenix group tea and rabbit tea, served it with cheese, and put it on a glazed plate with a green background, and walked to the warm pavilion in the palace.

The lights in the warm pavilion are bright and the laughter is loud. Xia Zhi entered slowly, not daring to squint, only to hear a few gossips from the official Zhao Zhen and the king of Qinghe County: "The Queen Mother wants to marry Lu Yijian's concubine to you, and that lady is born beautiful?" ”

"The minister has not met Miss Lu."
