The emperor and queen went to the two palaces to worship the queen mother's lanterns, and there were a number of concubines, King Lu and Princess Ruian also accompanied the queen mother's side, and waited for the group to stop at the palace garden. [Full text reading. The concubines knelt down and said goodbye.

"Get up." Empress Dowager Chen smiled and said, "Today's Zhongyuan is lively, everyone should have fun." ”

The emperor and queen hugged the two queen mothers through the imperial garden and went to the second floor of Yanhui Pavilion, the charcoal fire was warm, the window was replaced with a glass side, which could be seen clearly, the interior was still warm, the queen mother sat at the window, looking at the winding fire dragon in the imperial garden, "How did you change the window?" Empress Dowager Li asked.

"Because I want to let the queen mother enjoy the lanterns comfortably, I deliberately changed it." Wang Ronghe said.

"This window is good, you can see clearly, and you don't need to blow the wind." Empress Dowager Chen praised. "What kind of material?"

"This is glass, the goods in the south, but the whole piece of glass is still rare at the moment, if there are more in the future, the mother harem can also be replaced with such a window, it is really bright and clean." Wang Ronghe said.

This glass is the treasure of the West, the goods, originally called Po Li, I don't know where the name of the country is, Wang Ronghe knew it was glass at first sight, when people saw it as clear as water, hard as jade, also known as water jade, water spirit, thought it was jade, born in the soil, or a thousand years old ice. Glass has wine color, purple, white, red is the most expensive, but Wang Rong and Zhiji, as long as white, there is a small pavilion at home is made of glass windows, winter snow is the best, glass long-distance transportation is difficult, Wang Rong and the goods have been obtained once, the rest have never been obtained, except for the glass used at home, the rest are well preserved, for later use, as a result of the big wedding into the palace, her grandmother and all packed for her to send in.

Wang Ronghe asked people to make detachable windows, where they needed to be moved.

But she also thought well, as long as the three giants in the palace knew that the glass was good, it would not be easy to get glass in the future? Maybe it's a good thing to do what you like and figure out the glass yourself.

"Fan?" Empress Dowager Li frowned, now that the imperial court is banned, the origin of this goods is a question mark.

"Mother, look at the lights." Zhu Yijun said.

After a while, the fire dragon slowly moved downstairs, and it turned out that the palace people were holding lanterns and walking downstairs in turn, so that the queen mother could enjoy the lanterns upstairs. Ryan couldn't sit still, lying on the glass window to watch the excitement, so she clamored to go down to go down for a hundred diseases, and Empress Dowager Li asked King Lu to accompany her. "It's really grinding."

"It's only been a few years, and when you get married, you just want her to grind people, and you're not in front of you." Empress Dowager Chen said with a smile. She is envious of the Empress Dowager Li, she has a good life, she gave birth to so many children to the first emperor, and most of them survived, the eldest son is the emperor, and there are young sons and young daughters by her side.

"Your Majesty, take a closer look." Wang Ronghe sat next to Zhu Yijun and reminded, "Only the lights of the palace concubines will be sent to the imperial exhibition, and Your Majesty has to choose one of them." ”

Empress Dowager Chen turned her head when she heard this, "What's the color of winning?" ”

"To be awarded by His Majesty as a winner, this is the biggest prize." Wang Ronghe said with a smile.

"Playing with these empty heads." Empress Dowager Chen smiled, "In this way, no matter how Your Majesty rewards you, if you win, the Mourning Family and the Queen Mother will each give another reward." ”

"The mourning family saw that there were a few lamps that were doing a good job, but it was unexpected." Empress Dowager Li said, "Women have four virtues, women's virtues, women's words, women's appearance, and women's work." This lantern is also a woman's worker, and it is a good thing that the harem repairs the woman's worker diligently. ”

"How did that lotus lantern get in?" Empress Dowager Chen suddenly laughed and said, "It's really out of place." ”

Concubine Lan, who was sitting in the back, was a little uneasy when she heard this, because she was pregnant, she was the only concubine who entered Yanhui Pavilion, and the rest of the concubines were all sick in the palace back garden. She regretted that she didn't listen to Wang Zhixi, and asked others to help make a lantern, so she had to make it herself.

At that time, Erchen said that he would let the concubines make lanterns by themselves. Although not everyone is proficient in this lantern, the lotus lantern will always be made. Erchen thinks this lotus lamp is honest and cute. Wang Ronghe said.

Concubine Lan looked at the queen mother and saw that she didn't look back at herself at all, did the queen really think so? It's not because he has to take care of her, who has an imperial heir.

"I think what the queen said makes sense." Zhu Yijun said, "Then choose this lotus lantern as the winner." He only cared if he could find the lantern made by the queen, and as for the rest, he didn't care.

"Your Majesty." Wang Ronghe smiled helplessly and said, "Even the imperial court has to choose a champion list to explore the flowers, it is better to choose the three lanterns to win, the lotus lanterns are really selected, and the remaining two are selected with the best skills." ”

"There are good and bad people's crafts, and the good ones are also made by people." Wang Ronghe said.

"Then there are two left, I choose one, and the queen mother and the concubine also choose one." Zhu Yijun said.

In the end, Zhu Yijun chose the plum bottle lamp, and the Empress Dowager Chen and the Empress Dowager Li coincidentally chose the peony fairy lantern, and the inner attendant went down to invite the owner of the three lanterns to come up. Zhu Yijun was still looking at the lanterns downstairs.

"What else is Your Majesty looking at?" Empress Dowager Li asked.

"I'm looking for a lantern made by the Queen." Zhu Yijun said.

"The queen did it herself?" Empress Dowager Chen said, hey, why didn't this kid say it in advance, if you don't go to the palace to do a lantern competition, the queen didn't choose it, how embarrassing.

"Erchen is afraid that it will be unfair to the concubine to participate in the selection, because Erchen will definitely tell His Majesty, the Queen Mother, and the Mother Concubine first which lamp the Erchen made, so that Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, and the Mother Concubine will vote for the Son-in-Minister." Wang Ronghe said with a smile, "If it is the son who wins every year, the enthusiasm of the palace concubines to participate in the production of lanterns will be greatly reduced." ”

"The mourning family looks at the many word lamps this year, and I think it is influenced by you." Empress Dowager Li said. "At that time, I thought that the lamp brought back by His Majesty was made by Wang Meiren."

While speaking, the inner attendant led Yu Meiren and Wang Meiren upstairs, Wang Ronghe said, "Erchen and Wang Meiren are used to making lamps every year, especially Wang Meiren's lamp has been rated as the first in the market all year round, which is really ingenious." This time he was selected as the winner, which was also expected by Erchen. ”

"Then guess which lamp was made by Wang Meiren?" Empress Dowager Li asked.

"Erchen guessed it should be the plum bottle lamp." Wang Ronghe said with a smile. "I don't know if there is telepathy between sisters, every year the two of us make the same lamp."

"I know which lamp was made by Zitong." Zhu Yijun was originally hesitating between the two lamps and didn't know who to choose, but when he heard Wang Ronghe's prompt, he smiled and stroked his palm.

"Zhang Cheng, go and send that lamp to the Qianqing Palace." Zhu Yijun pointed to the lamp downstairs, which was a bonsai lamp, a round moon lamp, with a branch in the middle, and two backs nestled under the branch.

"If it weren't for this one, the lamp would be rewarded with the queen's lamp to the Yongnian Bofu tomorrow." Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Ronghe and said. A room full of people, speaking secret words that only the two of them know, but they are isolated from others and have a small atmosphere that belongs to the same two.

"And what about the other person?" Empress Dowager Chen asked, "Who made this lotus lantern?" ”

Concubine Lan got up from behind, "The concubine is not talented, she can only make lotus lanterns, and she is smiling and generous." ”

"Your Majesty and the Empress both praise you for being true, where is there a smile and generosity." Empress Dowager Li said, and then couldn't help but sigh and said, "This pregnant person has a good momentum." "This lotus lantern is said to be the ugliest in it, but the queen said that it was true, and His Majesty chose it to win.

"The concubine is very frightened." Lan Concubine said, "The concubine must work hard to practice her skills and strive not to do it so simply in the coming year." ”

"The peony fairy lamp is made by the jade beauty, and the plum bottle lamp is made by the king beauty." Cui Shanggong said.

"Let the queen guess." Empress Dowager Chen smiled and said, "But the queen has zuò bì? Empress Dowager Chen joked.

"It's the first time I've seen Erchen." Wang Ronghe said, "If the queen mother wants to say that the son is the son, then the queen mother will also reward me with a share of the winner, otherwise the son will not do it in vain." ”

"Can you still miss the reward of the mourning family?" Empress Dowager Chen smiled and said, "Tomorrow you come to the treasury of the mourning family, and you can choose one you like." ”

Empress Dowager Li watched Empress Dowager Chen and the Empress get along with each other as if they were her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and somehow, a feeling of depression arose in her heart, and she said firmly. "The winner was also selected, and the mourning family felt that they were not strong, so they went back to the palace first."

"Do you want to declare the imperial doctor?" Wang Ronghe stood up and asked with concern.

"No, you don't." Empress Dowager Li said, "The problem of the elderly. ”

Empress Dowager Li gave birth to Her Majesty at the age of eighteen, and now she is only in her thirties, but if she wants to say that she is old, there is no way. Wang Ronghe smiled embarrassedly, thinking about whether he would call himself an old woman when he was thirty years old, he was a little melancholy, obviously she was a shú nǚ beautiful woman, the most wonderful age.

Empress Dowager Li said this, Empress Dowager Chen naturally said that she was tired, and after the Empress Dowager left, Wang Ronghe said with a smile, "The three of you are waiting for tomorrow's winning reward, that's a big surprise." ”

After the queen mother left, other concubines came up to say goodbye, and Wang Rong and Le asked them to surround His Majesty, Yingying Yanyan. She quietly went to the back, there was still a wooden window behind her, Wang Rong pushed the window, and the cold wind poured in, blowing the phoenix hairpin on her back crown.

Yanhui Pavilion is very close to the Shenwu Gate, and you can see the moat from the high-rise building, and you can see the lights of the ten thousand homes in the past of the moat. Today is Shangyuan, and the lights in the city are not extinguished all night.

"Mother, it's cold." Worry-free persuaded Wang Rong to turn off the lights.

"Don't worry, which light do you say is the lamp at home?" Wang Ronghe asked.

"Niangniang forgot, Yongnian Bofu is another mansion, and it is no longer in this direction." Worry-free said.

"yes." Wang Ronghe sighed.

She didn't know that Wang Wei's family was celebrating the festival in Andingfang's house today, and after three rounds of wine, Wang Yaliang said regretfully, "In the end, I don't have a lamp made by mèi mèi myself." ”

"Look at the pitiful way you say." Wang Houde said, "You go to my place and choose one." "He has the most lamps there.

"Don't." Wang Yaliang said. "It's a completely different meaning."

"Hey, last year was the most pity, if it wasn't for the crutch that didn't come at the right time, I would have a light." Wang Yaliang said.

"If it weren't for the kidnapper, would you go and grab the lamp with Your Majesty?" Wang Zaiwu said. "Speaking of which, the lamp can be regarded as a matchmaker between Mèi Mèi and His Majesty."
