"Niangniang, tomorrow is the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, and the emperor wants to set off fireworks on the high platform, but unfortunately we can't see it." Yu Lan dressed Orange Creek and prepared to serve her to bed.

"Will everyone go?" Orange Creek sat on the bed, and Yu Lan took off her shoes for her.

"Yes, who will refute the emperor's face!"

"Yu Lan, go and get a basin of cold water, I can't see it this year, I will definitely let you see it next year." Yu Lan jumped out of bed barefoot and walked outside.

"Mother, what are you going to do here? Put your shoes on first! And clothes, it's still snowing outside! Yu Lan chased out with shoes and clothes.

Orange Creek took the clothes from Yu Lan's hand and threw them to the ground, "Go quickly, go and get a basin of cold water." ”

"Yes!" Yu Lan was a scoundrel, so she had to go to fetch water, and when she returned to the yard, that scene really scared her silly, and the basin of water in her hand fell to the ground. "Niangniang, what's wrong with you, don't you want to die? Hurry up, lie on this biting cold snow, I'm afraid you can't stand it! ”

Orange Creek was lying on top of the thick snow in her thin bedclothes, and when she heard the sound of the basin falling, she said sharply, "Go fight again." ”

Yu Lan went to fetch water again with tears, "Niangniang, the water is coming." ”

"Fall on me." Seeing that Yu Lan didn't move, she shouted, "Hurry! ”

In this winter, it was already extremely cold, lying on the snow, her back was like a sharp knife thorning, coupled with the cold water splashed by Yu Lan, Orange Creek was shivering, she gritted her teeth and forcibly endured.

"Niangniang, Yu Lan begs you, get up quickly!" Yu Lan knelt on the ground and begged bitterly.

Orange Creek ignored her at all, until she fainted from freezing, "Niangniang, Niangniang......" Seeing that Orange Creek should not, "Come on, come on!" Yu Lan called the eunuch to help and helped Orange Creek into the room.

Yu Lan covered her with several quilts, her whole body was still so cold that she didn't have a little body temperature, Yu Lan grabbed Orange Creek's hand and didn't sleep all night, just in front of Orange Creek's bed, Orange Creek finally woke up in the middle of the night, but launched a high fever, "Niangniang, you have a fever, the slave maid will go to let them go to the imperial doctor." Yu Lan touched her hot forehead, very anxious.

"Stop! Don't go. ”

"!" Yu Lan was very puzzled, anxious and worried.

"Don't go, I've been begging for a sick illness with a hard time, don't let anything bad happen." Orange Creek was very sick, but she spoke unambiguously, changing her old soft voice.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the Forbidden City was full of festivities, and the emperor specially ordered people to set off fireworks to welcome the new year.

"Crackling ......"

With a loud bang, fireworks burst into the night sky, illuminating half of the Forbidden City, which is truly beautiful.

The concubines of each palace all brought Gege brothers together to spend Chinese New Year's Eve under the fireworks.

The emperor also brought the nobles to come, and when he saw the emperor coming, all the concubines saluted, "Respectfully invite the emperor to be saintly!" ”

"All the concubines are flat!"

Seeing the nobles, everyone knocked over the vinegar jar, "I heard that the emperor has a beautiful lady in Qingshui Building, it's really better to see it than to hear it!" It really has the appearance of a sinking fish and a wild goose, and the face of a shy flower in the closed moon! Concubine Li, who had a big belly, praised Wen Xiuxiu fiercely.

"Xiuxiu has seen all sisters." Wen Xiuxiu has been practicing etiquette for a long time, and she looks much more solemn than before, if she hadn't begged the emperor, the emperor wouldn't have let her go out of Qingshui Tower to watch the fireworks.

"It's just a country girl, there are no rules, and I don't let the concubines see her on weekdays, because I am afraid that she will hurt the concubines, but now, I have grown a lot, and in the future, I will no longer be grounded in her, let her and the concubines learn more everywhere and more."

"Please rest assured, the concubines will get along well with Sister Wen." Emperor Yi and concubine set an example for the six palaces.

In Chuxiu Palace, Orange Creek dragged the sick body and accompanied the eleventh elder brother in the hospital.

"Eniang, what is this loud noise?" In the yard, Hongday, who was learning to fold paper cranes with Orange Creek, heard the sound of fireworks, and asked Orange Creek childishly.

Orange Creek hadn't heard the sound of fireworks here, and didn't know if the fireworks had started, so I really didn't know how to deal with it, "This ......"

"Brother Eleven, that's the sound of fireworks." Yu Lan returned for Orange Creek.

"Oh! What are fireworks? Hongtian asked again.

"Hongday, do you want to see fireworks?" Orange Creek had an idea, and the opportunity came.

"Yes, the boy wants to go." Hongtian was so excited that he jumped off the stool and clamored to go.

"Yu Lan, use a bamboo ladder to send Hongtian out of the fence and let him go to see the fireworks."

"Mother, is this okay? This is a protest! Yu Lan asked worriedly.

"If you want to go, do you want to regain your freedom?"

"Yes!" Yu Lan picked up Hongday, ordered someone to take a bamboo ladder, and carefully sent Hongday out of Chuxiu Palace, "Twelfth Elder Brother, you go directly to the high platform!" That's where the fireworks are set off, be careful on the road. ”

Hongyang nodded in response, he was really suffocated after being confined in Chuxiu Palace for so long, and he couldn't wait to run away.

"Wow! What beautiful fireworks! Finally saw it. Hongtian ran to the high platform, looked at the fireworks in the sky, jumped up happily, and kept clapping his hands.

Although the sound of the fireworks was quite loud, after all, there was still some distance away, and Hongday's voice immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Brother Eleven, why are you here?" Concubine Xiang was the first to find Hongyang and pulled him to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the eleventh elder brother actually ran to the high platform alone." ”

"Your Majesty, isn't Chuxiu Palace grounded? How could the eleventh elder brother appear here in protest? "Concubine Li, who has bad intentions, makes a statement to the emperor.

"Come, Hongday, come to Huang Ama." Hongtian happily ran to the emperor's side, and the emperor picked him up and pinched his fleshy little face, "Concubine Li, when did I say that I would be grounded in Eleven Elder Brother?" ”

"The emperor forgives the sin, but the concubine is stupid." Hearing the emperor's questioning, Concubine Li hurriedly defended.

"Huang Ama, why haven't you seen your sons for a long time? Did Erchen do something wrong? The aunts don't even let out the door on weekdays, and the sons and daughters are almost stuffy. Hongyang kissed the emperor and complained to the emperor.

"It's Huang Ama who has been busy with government affairs recently, so he didn't take time to see Hongyang, Hongyang is so smart, how can he make a mistake?" The emperor hugged Hongday, talking and laughing, Hongday pointed to the fireworks in the sky from time to time, clapped his hands and shouted with a smile.

At this time, Orange Creek calculated the time and ordered someone to prepare water for her to bathe, Yu Lan was worried about her body and was disturbed. In the end, she couldn't resist Orange Creek, so she could only prepare a hot bath for her.

Yu Lan served Orange Creek's wide clothes, Orange Creek's snow-like jade skin, soaked in the bath bucket full of petals, although the sick face was haggard, but also beautiful and charming.

"Niangniang, your skin is so good, white as snow, slippery as cream, no wonder the emperor has been very fond of you all the way." Yu Lan, who was waiting on the side, touched the skin on Orange Creek's back, and she, who was also a woman, was fascinated and envious.

"Okay, Yu Lan, go out and wait! I want to soak alone for a while, go to the fatigue, okay, I'll call you. ”

"Okay, mother, call me if the water is too cold, you're still sick! Don't soak for too long. Before Yu Lan went out, she didn't forget to tell her mother.

Orange Creek lay with her eyes closed, nodding slightly in response. When Yu Lan went out and heard her close the door, Orange Creek came out of the bucket, put on the bedclothes prepared next to her, removed the lamp on the table, removed the outer cover, and threw it on the curtain in the bath room.

Orange Creek jumped into the tub and held her breath, thinking that if they could put out the fire and get her out in a short time, she would be safe and sound.

When the fire spread to the door, Yu Lan and the others found that it was on fire, "Come on, come on!" It's out of the water, hurry up and fetch water, the mother is still inside! She pushed open the door and tried to go in to save Orange Creek, but the fire was too big to get in, and she was so anxious that she ran like an ant on a hot pot.

The emperor sent Hongtian back to Chuxiu Palace, but before he arrived at Chuxiu Palace, he forgot that the lights in Chuxiu Palace were bright from afar, "Chen Yu, what's wrong?" ”

Gonggong Chen looked up, it's not good, isn't this a water? "Your Majesty, it's going to be water, Chuxiu Palace is going to be water."

"Let me go!" The emperor walked down and lifted the bed, trotted to Chuxiu Palace on foot, Chen Yu picked up Hongday and chased after the emperor.

The emperor rushed to Chuxiu Palace, and everyone was so busy that they didn't even notice the emperor's arrival, "Where is Concubine Tong?" The emperor grabbed Yu Lan, who was carrying water, and asked.

"Your Majesty, slave maid...... Whining...... Mother, mother, it's still inside! Seeing the emperor, Yu Lan was anxious and afraid, and she couldn't say a whole sentence.

The emperor yelled at the eunuchs who followed him, "If you don't go to help put out the fire, if Concubine Tong has any three longs and two shorts, I want you to be buried together." "After all, the emperor still takes Orange Creek to heart, and usually grounded Orange Creek for the sake of face, but when it comes to the life and death of Orange Creek, his sincerity is all exposed. Looking at his nervous expression, everything speaks for itself.

The sky was covered with goose feathers and snow, the fire gradually subsided, and Orange Creek was carried out of the house by the eunuchs, and the emperor couldn't wait to go forward to check.

Hongday saw Eniang being carried out, rushed forward, hugged Orange Creek and shook violently, "Eniang, Eniang, what's wrong with you, you get up!" E-Niang ......"

A eunuch said: "Your Majesty, fortunately, Concubine Tong hid in the bathtub and didn't burn herself, so she probably just fainted." ”

The emperor hugged the wet orange stream, and his heart was so distressed.

Yu Lan hurriedly brought a quilt and wrapped it around Orange Creek, "Niangniang has been sick, she has been suffering from a high fever, and she has not been treated. ”

The emperor picked up Orange Creek and walked out, "Go back to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and quickly go to the imperial doctor." ”

"Huh! This eleven elder brother? Chen Gonggong led Hongday, who wanted to catch up.

The emperor paused for a moment, "Let's send it to Qingshui Tower first!" Hongtian put me there and let my aunts follow me. After the emperor finished speaking, he hurriedly picked up the couch and left. Yu Lan also followed to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

"Huh!"

In the past, the tall and majestic, golden Chuxiu Palace turned into a ruin overnight.

The snow is still falling, and at this moment, except for the jealous concubines in the harem, no one will feel good.

But who knows that the unconscious Orange Creek is smiling in her dreams, and her face is like ashes, and she actually smiles slightly, because her first step in making a comeback is a perfect success.
