"That day I thought, even if I never see you again, I will remember your hand for the rest of my life, as long as I touch it again, I will know that it is you." Xiangxiang muttered to himself and shook his hand happily.

When Qi Hui turned his face sideways, he happened to see her sweet smile, the future is unknown at the moment, obviously everyone's situation is not good, but she always has a smile, as long as she sees her clear and bright eyes, her heart will be full of hope. He didn't speak, holding Xiangxiang's hand firmly in the palm of his hand.

Qi Hui took Xiangxiang to hide in the high place of the uninhabited pavilion, and at this time, there was a movement downstairs, as if he was preparing to light the lamp.

In order to make the lights of the whole garden almost at the same time, it is necessary to use countless eunuchs and guards, each of whom sticks to his post and cannot move, and after the first order, they have to use the fire fold to light the lamps around them, which is a very laborious thing, but the emperor is tired of it, and holds several lantern festivals every year, each time he asks for something new, he will be stingy with military expenses to add a winter coat to the soldiers, but he does not care about this boring thing, spending millions of silver taels.

I only heard someone shouting loudly, the dark world was suddenly brightly lit, thousands of lanterns were lit up at the same time, the edge of the imperial pond was as bright as day, and the sparkling waves penetrated into the room, shaking on Xiangxiang's face, she stepped back slightly, admiring and sighing: "It's too luxurious, what I saw in the mansion of high-ranking officials in the past is really a big thing." ”

Qi Hui said: "The silver taels spent before and after a lantern festival are enough for the military salary of the three armies for a year, so he will not laugh and spend it." ”

Xiangxiang saw his solemn face, and couldn't help but think of Concubine Xian's ambitions. But Xiangxiang wanted to leave here, and she always believed that Qi Hui's mother and son would live better and more freely if they stayed away from here, but at this moment, under the lights, Qi Hui's expression of concern for the country and the people made her shake. She wanted to know, was it her appearance that affected Qi Hui and Concubine Xian?

"Why are you taking me to see the lights? Since you don't like it. Xiangxiang said.

"What's the sin of the lights, it's the emperor who is at fault." Qi Hui said, "Since they have been made and lit up, they should be appreciated, even if it has a little more meaning, it is worth it." ”

He raised his hand to look out the window and said to Xiangxiang, "Look in the direction I pointed." As Qi Hui slowly changed direction, the lantern connections were lit up everywhere, and Xiangxiang unconsciously leaned on the window lattice to see what was going on, and asked strangely, "How did you do it?" That's how your hand is pointed. She followed Qi Hui and poked forward a few times, but of course no lights would come on.

Qi Hui was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "I just know the time of lighting the lamp, and I estimate where I can light the lamp with a finger." ”

Xiangxiang returned to him with a smile and said a little embarrassedly: "I claim to be a hero, but I have never seen the world." ”

The word rivers and lakes inexplicably made Qi Hui feel cordial, and he heard Xiang Xiang muttering about the scenes in the palaces, Shangshu mansions and other big mansions that he had been to before, Qi Hui said: "Twenty years ago, all the decorations of the palace's gardens and palaces, and the arrangement of banquet lights, were all under the management of the Mu family. ”

Xiangxiang didn't know what to do, and Qi Hui said again: "It's my mother's maiden family, but twenty years ago, the whole clan disappeared overnight, leaving my mother in the palace." ”
