As soon as the emperor turned his head, he saw Xie Ning's appearance. I don't know if it's because I just ate a lot of glutinous rice balls, my smile is very sweet, holding my cheeks, squinting my eyes, and showing a little bit of shell teeth.

The emperor couldn't help but smile and said, "I took you to see the lamp, what are you doing to see me?" When you go back later, you regret not taking a few more looks, and it will be too late. ”

Xie Ning bit his lip, leaned closer and whispered, "The emperor is much better looking than the lamp." ”

"Really." He touched his cheek: "This is the first time someone has complimented me like this." ”

"How did others praise the emperor before? It must be quite a lot. ”

I think it's the same, Your Majesty, can you still be less if you sing praises every day? Those talented people who are full of wealth and wealth, even if they are full of words, must be a lotus with a bright tongue, and I don't know how much better it sounds than her praise.

The emperor thought about it seriously: "It's too much, I can't remember it clearly." ”

Sure enough.

He continued, "But what you said this time, I must remember." ”

Xie Ning tugged at the handkerchief and muttered in a low voice: "Remember something, forget it." ”

The emperor laughed sullenly, and Xie Ning's face was hot.

knew that the emperor must have said that he remembered this to make fun of her.

The emperor said before that he would bring her to the same paradise to enjoy the lanterns, and Xie Ning has been looking forward to the Shangyuan Festival coming soon since the day before yesterday. I had two Shangyuan Festivals in the palace before, once she caught a cold and nested in the house and didn't go anywhere, and once she went to the garden to enjoy the lanterns, but it was not interesting after all. The more lively it was outside, the more interesting it was, and the more I felt that I was alone, I couldn't see any of my relatives, and I spent my days in the palace in vain.

There is a small building on the shore in front of it, the eaves are like swallows, and the lanterns are beautiful.

"The tallest one is the Lord of Lights."

"The Lamp King?" Xie Ning asked curiously.

"Every year in the capital will be like this, each family will take out their own lanterns to compare, and the last one to come out on top is the king of lights, which can be hung at the highest place for hundreds of millions of people to appreciate." The boat was closer, and a sign could be seen hanging under the lamp, on which the words were clearly visible.

"Can you see clearly?"

Xie Ning squinted his eyes and carefully identified it, the wind blew the sign around, and the lights and shadows flickered, it was really not easy to see clearly.

"Ertang Lane...... White House? ”

The emperor smiled and nodded: "That's right." ”

The lamp is quite large, like a small water tank, it is a vivid pavilion, the cornices are painted with beams, the doors and windows are the same as many columns, and the best thing is that there is a figure on the window, with a bun on his head, and his figure is slender, and he seems to be standing in the middle of the house and looking out of the window, which makes people feel infinite reverie.

"It's beautiful."

"Do you like it? Why don't we take off the lamp and take it back to the palace. ”

Listening to the emperor's meaning, if she says that she likes it, this lantern eight achievements can belong to her.

The emperor is rich in the world, not to mention a lamp.

Xie Ning smiled and shook his head: "I like it, but this lamp is too big, I don't have a place to put it." It's much better to hang here and see so many people than to take it home. ”

The boat glided across the water, leaving the small building full of lanterns behind.

The same paradise is very large, the place is spacious, and it is also very lively. In front of him, someone was walking a rope high in the air, holding a long pole in his hand, walking very steadily, as if walking on the ground.

The emperor was fascinated by it.

Most of the time this is not common in the palace.

Shainin sat quietly beside him and watched with him.

She didn't see this less before, when she was in office with her eldest uncle in the southwest, the house they lived in was on high ground, and she lived with her cousin. Looking out of the window at the back of their house, one could sometimes see movement in the open space not far beyond the wall. On days when the weather is good, there are often people who run to sell their arts. There are monkey plays, bowls, ropes, and spitting fire and swallowing swords, and they don't see it very clearly from a distance, but they often watched the excitement there at that time.

Most of the emperor did not have this opportunity. No matter how you look from the Changning Palace, you can't see everything outside the palace walls.

Shainin glanced at him again.

The emperor's demeanor did not seem to be happy.

He frowned, his expression a little sad, very serious.

It wasn't until the man who walked the rope came to the end, threw down the pole and turned a somersault, and the onlookers applauded and threw the money at the same time, that the emperor came back to his senses.

"I'm fine." He patted the back of Xie Ning's hand and comforted softly: "I just remembered Taifu." ”

Xie Ning asked, "Is it Mrs. Tian?" "Shainin only knows this one.

"No, it's Mrs. Meng." The emperor said: "It has been almost ten years since he died. ”

Then it's no wonder that Xie Ning doesn't know, how old she was ten years ago, and she is too far away from the capital.

At that time, he said a sentence, life in the world is like this rope walker, trembling, swaying left and right, falling is doomed. I thought at the time that when I ascended the throne and became an emperor, I would no longer be struggling like this, and I could do whatever I wanted. But it wasn't until I ascended the throne that I found out......"

Even if he is the emperor, many times it is still the same as walking a rope, there are dangerous streams on the left and right, and the balance must be maintained.

Shainin didn't speak, silently accompanied him.

The emperor didn't need her to comfort her, and when the boat was about to dock, he saw that she was a little reluctant, and promised her that he would come back to enjoy the lanterns during the Shangyuan Festival next year.

"Take the kids with you then."

Xie Ning touched his stomach and responded with a smile: "Okay, bring him with you then." ”

There is only a short distance from the same paradise back to the palace, there is no curfew on the Shangyuan Festival, only these three days in a year can the people can celebrate all night long, across the street, you can also hear the sound of firecrackers.

Qinghe saw people coming from a distance, and the eunuchs who walked in front were holding lamps in their hands, and the lanterns in the row looked like a long snake winding forward in the night.

The palace gate of Yong'an Palace opened, the warm sedan chair stopped in front of the door, and the emperor got off the sedan chair first and hugged Xie Ning, who fell asleep at some point.

Qinghe's heart tightened, for fear that something would happen. After seeing that the master was only asleep, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then admired the master a little.

How wide is this heart, so that I can fall asleep, and I didn't wake up when I was carried out of the sedan chair and carried into the house.

It is said that women with bodies are greedy and sleepy, and they usually look at their masters like no one else, but in the end they are still different from ordinary people.

The emperor put Xie Ning on the couch, and Qinghe hurriedly stepped forward to serve, took apart her hair, took off the hairpin ring jewelry, and untied her clothes outside, so that she could sleep more comfortably. As for washing, if she can wake up after sleeping for a while, she will wash again, Qinghe guesses that maybe she will sleep until morning.

She wasn't mistaken.

Shain's sleep was particularly comfortable and heavy.

She also had a long, good dream.

She dreamed of what had happened before she entered the palace, and she dreamed that she had returned to the southwestern frontier, separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and that they had lived in a house behind the official office, which had been many years old, and that there were many more buildings there than in the north. She and her cousin live in a small building against the east wall. On a good day, they would lie down at the window and look out, and if there was a peddler selling snacks under the wall, they could stop him, and then send the servant woman to buy it. My aunt always didn't like them to eat things outside casually, and they felt that it was not clean.

In fact, the things outside are not necessarily better than those at home, but they were a pair of out-and-out gluttonous girls at that time, and they always felt that the things outside were more attractive than those at home.

In the dream, she was sitting by the window, the outside of the wall was very lively, the performers, the singers, the hawkers, she felt that in fact, she and the little uncle were quite similar, if she was not a daughter, she might also be like the little uncle, with her own feet to measure this landscape, see the good scenery under the world.

But in a trance, she knew that the person next to her was not her cousin.

This man is generous, calm, dignified and attentive.

She just couldn't remember who he was.

In the dream, they also ate glutinous rice balls, wontons, and delicious osmanthus pine nut candy together.

She remembered that she had a baby.

She also remembered who the person next to her was.

It's so good, there are only two of them in the dream, there are no virtuous concubines, no concubines, no Jieyu Zhaorong beauties.

When she woke up, her heart was still in the dream she had just had, and she had a smile on her lips.

But it was already dawn, and it was time to wake up from the dream.

After the festival, the lanterns from last night were taken off, and the yard was cleaned. Spring flowers grow along a slip of the wall. Despite the small and thin flowers, they still bloom in the cold wind, and the sporadic delicate yellow heralds the arrival of spring.

Rare good weather, the sun shines on the window and the house is bright, Qinghe and they took advantage of the good weather to take the futon to dry, the window is open, and the wind blows into the house and does not feel cold at all.

Xie Ning covered a brocade felt under the porch and basked in the sun for a while, and his back was sweating. Fang Shanggong sat aside, basking in the sun, she also felt comfortable, as if the cold and stinging pain of a winter in the cracks of the bones had been sunburned and sunburned. It's just that the sun is too scorching, and her eyes are not very good, and the sun is very sunny, and tears will flow out when she bows her head.

Xie Meiren's lazy appearance was like a cat nesting in winter, her face was flushed with sunburn, her eyes were watery, she put the brocade on her head, yawning and beckoning Qinghe to help her up. Hu Rong came back from outside and loaded a belly full of fresh news.

Chen Jieyu's grounding was lifted, but she didn't know if she was afraid of embarrassment, or if she didn't want to get into trouble again at this time, and there was still no one in Yunhe Palace who came out to walk around. But Li Zhaorong went to visit her once.

"There is another thing, when the slave just came back, I saw that the Shang Palace of Yanning Palace took someone to Xiyangmen to greet people, and I heard that it was the family of Concubine Shu who came to the palace to ask for peace."

Xie Ning didn't ask, Fang Shanggong asked, "Is it Mrs. Hou?" Or someone else? ”

"The servant didn't go over to ask in detail, but if it wasn't Mrs. Hou who came, there wouldn't be any need for the Shang Palace of Yanning Palace to greet him, right?" If the identity of the person who comes is not high, it is okay to go to a palace maid to greet you.

One more thing is the matter of Aunt Xie Ning. She gave birth for a few days, refused to learn the rules in An'an, and clamored to see her niece.

After writing this chapter, I suddenly realized that today is the Lantern Festival. What kind of stuffing do you like to eat? I love peanuts and sesame seeds. Although there have been more and more Lantern Festival patterns recently, I still think that what I have been eating since I was a child is the best.
