On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, colorful lanterns were hung everywhere in the palace, sweeping away the chilling and decadent atmosphere of the past half month.
No one mentioned that Xie Meiren fainted for no reason, but if you are careful, you can see that the number of people using hand stoves in the palace has dropped sharply recently, which shows that there is really no secret in the palace.
Although no one said that Xie Meiren's fainting was due to the hand stove, everyone in the palace had their own sources of information.
Regardless of whether these characters hurt others for fear of being plotted against themselves, or they are afraid that the hand stove will irritate the eyes, in short, I am afraid that no one will like this object this winter, and I am afraid that it will be the same next year.
But people are best at forgetting.
After three to five years, the traces of this incident will disappear completely.
Liu Cairen was wrapped in a long purple tang-colored cloak and cautiously stepped up the steps.
The Star-Zhaing Tower is covered with colorful lanterns from top to bottom.
From a distance, it looks like a glazed pagoda, sparkling and translucent.
Climbing upstairs, the entire imperial garden is at your feet, with colorful lights scattered around.
Hanyun Pavilion not far away seems to be a pearl floating on the vast lonely sea.
This kind of scene was impossible to see in the past, and people like them could only set foot in the Star Building twice a year.
One is to watch lanterns on the Lantern Festival, and the other is to watch the moon on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Zhao Cairen struggled to squeeze through the crowd.
She wore thicker clothes to avoid catching a cold.
When there were more people and she walked a lot of stairs, she began to breathe.
"My skirt and shoes have been stepped on several times."
Zhao Cairen felt a little regretful: "I would have known I wouldn't have worn new shoes when I came out."
Zhao Cairen felt sulky in his heart when he didn't see the emperor dressed like this in vain.
She thought that what she did was natural and would not attract attention, but in the eyes of Liu Cairen and others, those little thoughts were all clear and obvious.
It's not that they all have sharp eyes, but compared to newcomers like Zhao Cairen and others who have just entered the palace and have just been entrusted, Liu Cairen is already a senior, and Zhao Cairen and the others' current little calculations are all gone.
It's leftover from seniors' fun.
Besides, which woman in the palace doesn't want Liu Cairen to be the favored one, and she doesn't think there's anything wrong with Zhao Cairen's behavior.
"The emperor won't come to Zhaixinglou tonight."
Liu Cairen told her, "I heard that the emperor went to Tongyuan."
He still took Xie Meiren with him.
They can only walk around the palace, looking at these lanterns every year, and they are no different from last year.
Thinking of Beauty Xie earlier, Liu Cairen still felt sour and unbearable.
But now that Xie Meiren has moved out of Houyuan and moved into Yong'an Palace, it is beyond her reach to be jealous of others.
In the future, they will only become farther and farther apart, and the relationship will no longer be the equal relationship it used to be.
In fact, Xie Meiren also has her own advantages.
Even if she is favored, she does not bully others arrogantly.
She had been angry with others in the past, but she never expected to express such anger once she gained power.
It was windy upstairs, so Zhao Cairen pulled up his hood to cover his head, leaving only one face outside.
Not long after, Sun Cainv also came over and put rose-scented fried melon seeds in her purse for them both to eat together.
Liu Cairen grabbed a handful of melon seeds.
Zhao Cairen waved his hand and said, "I won't eat it.
I've been suffering from internal heat for the past two days.
I drank porridge for three meals a day."
Sun Cainu turned around and took a look, and whispered to Liu Cairen: "I didn't see Chen Jieyu, and Concubine Xian and Shi Shunyi didn't come either."
Liu Cairen also said: "Concubine Shu didn't come upstairs either.
Just now I saw Concubine Shu taking Princess Yuyao back down below."
Not only are they jealous of Xie Beauty, but Concubine Shu is afraid that she feels even worse.
When Concubine Shu was pregnant with Princess Yuyao, she also caught up with the Lantern Festival.
I heard that she asked the emperor for grace and wanted to go to Tongyuan to enjoy the lanterns during the Lantern Festival.

In the end, it didn't work out.
Concubine Shu was looking forward to giving birth to a son.
At that time, people in the palace secretly said that Concubine Shu was going to give birth to a prince and she would definitely become a queen.
The previous enthusiasm suddenly disappeared, and no one mentioned the topic of taking charge of palace affairs and establishing a queen.
Xie Meiren, don't look at her current scenery.
If she is a princess when she is born, her current scenery will definitely not last long.
Zhao Cairen suddenly called out: "Sister Liu, look quickly."
Fireworks exploded in the sky, and magnificent and bright flowers suddenly bloomed in the dark night sky, which was dazzling.
The brilliant colored light lit up the faces of people around him.
One light and one dark, unpredictable.
Liu Cairen cheered up and clapped his hands and cheered together with the people around him.
When Xie Ning got off the sedan, Hu Rong and Qing He could only stand back.
The emperor held her hand and helped her steadily to get out of the sedan.
Still far away, you can already hear the noise of people.
This kind of sound would never be heard in the palace.
Such a common, noisy, noisy, ordinary sound.
Xie Ning stood there without moving, and just listened blankly for a while.
The emperor saw her lost in thought and asked softly: "What's wrong?"
"It's my first time out of the palace, so I'm not used to it."
"The excitement is still ahead, and we are not walking the same path as the people who come to the garden to enjoy the lanterns."
That's natural.
Although it is said that he is enjoying himself with the people, the emperor still will not go into the crowd.
Looking from the corridor to the lake, there are dots of lights floating on the lake, including lotus lanterns, goldfish lanterns, and even lanterns tied into a balcony style.
Across the lake, there are already many people admiring the lanterns on the other side of the lake.
"Have you seen the lanterns before entering the palace?"
Xie Ning said with a smile, "Of course.
Not only did I look at the lanterns, I also tied up the lanterns myself.
Once during the Chinese New Year, my cousins all wrote lantern riddles and hung them all over the room.
Everyone guessed together, and if they guessed right, they would get lucky. ” That time it was because grandma was sick and couldn't leave the house, so they hung all the lights in the house just to make the old lady happy.
The lantern riddles were very simple, and the old lady even guessed the right one.
They started preparing many days in advance for the festival.
They found all the materials for making lamps themselves.
As for the methods, they didn't need to learn from outside.
There was nothing that my uncle couldn't do, and there was nothing he couldn't do.
He can tie lanterns, make kites, spin tops, and play Cuju.
There is nothing that children like that he is not proficient in.
That's why my uncle always said that he was smart but didn't put it to the right place.
He has been very clever since he was a child, but he just can't read.
My uncle made a big lion lantern, and Xie Ning made a sheep lantern.
Although it didn’t look like an elephant, there were two pointed sheep horns poking there, and you could still tell it was a sheep. look like.
"You can also make lamps" Xie Ning nodded: "Yes, but the work is not very good.
Especially the tail was not glued well and fell off before it was lit.
Later, my grandmother even teased me for making a bald-tailed sheep."
The emperor also smiled, and there was a joke on his lips, but he did not say it out.
She is pregnant now, so there are some things that are inappropriate to say and some things that she cannot do now.

"Did you see the boat in front?
Let's sit on the boat and enjoy the lanterns.
We don't have to squeeze in with them, and you won't be tired from walking."
Xie Ning didn't know what was going on in the emperor's mind.
When he heard that there was a boat ride, he said with a smile: "I haven't been on a boat for a long time.
The first time I took a boat, I was so dizzy that I couldn't eat for several days.
It was dark and dark.
I knew the way and even vomited after drinking water.
Later, I got used to it after taking the boat more times.”
The boat is not too big, and it is not far from the shore.
It rows forward steadily.
Xie Ning was sitting leaning against the fumigation cage.
As the boat was walking, he heard someone singing on the shore, but he couldn't make out what he was singing.
Xie Ning stretched his neck and looked out.
There was a platform set up near the water on the shore.
Someone was dancing on it, and the crowd of onlookers burst into cheers from time to time.
The emperor asked: "Do you want to get closer and take a look?"
"No, it's fine just watching here."
Others were crowded with people watching lanterns, and their feet were sore from walking in the cold wind.
But when I was enjoying the lanterns with the emperor, sitting in the cabin, the wind couldn't blow, and it was so hot that I couldn't even wear a big coat.
Look at the lights, listen to music, and eat snacks.
Because we came out for dinner, the boat was not big, and all the snacks were prepared.
Thinking of the cold weather, the soup was warm and comfortable.
"Little wontons, lotus seed soup, and glutinous rice balls."
Xie Ning thought for a while: "Today is the festival, let's eat glutinous rice balls."
The emperor smiled and nodded: "Then let's have glutinous rice balls."
It had been several days since she confessed to the emperor about entering the palace.
It seemed that the emperor really didn't take it to heart, which made her worry in vain for two days.
The glutinous rice balls were brought up.
Xie Ning's bowl was filled with sweet-scented osmanthus and sesame candy filling.
There were six glutinous rice balls in one bowl.
She held a bowl of glutinous rice balls and happily ate them.
The skin was thin and the fillings were fragrant.
But the fillings were wrapped in the middle and were very hot.
When she bit the skin a bit, the fillings came out impatiently.
She blew them slowly and quickly a few times.
Dare to eat only if you want to dissipate heat.
The emperor asked her: "What stuff are you eating?"
"The sesame filling belongs to the emperor."
The emperor scooped one up and handed it over: "Try it."
She narrowed her eyes after taking a bite, feeling a little sour: "Hawthorn."
The emperor asked her: "Which one do you like?"
She tasted it carefully and found that she still liked the sesame one more because it was fragrant, so she ate what was in her bowl with peace of mind.
After eating these glutinous rice balls, I felt that my mouth still wanted something salty, so I served two more bowls of wontons.
This bowl of wontons is really small, just a few mouthfuls, and the soup is particularly fresh.

After eating two bowls like this, Xie Ning couldn't hold any more food in his stomach.
The boat moved forward slowly, and there were paper lanterns floating outside the portholes.
You could reach out and catch them.
The water beside the boat rippled, and the lights were pushed away bit by bit by the waves.
There are also several lights in the cabin, all different sizes.
The smallest one is only as big as a fist, and the largest one is half a person tall and stands in the corner of the cabin.
The lights were lit, and the light from the lanterns was soft and not dazzling, making people feel gentle.
Xie Ning looked at the lights outside and then at the people beside him.
Later she discovered that she spent more time looking at people than at lights.
The emperor wore a royal blue uniform tonight, and the color looked particularly soft under the light.
There is no crown on his head.
From this look, he really doesn't look like an "emperor", but like an ordinary person.
There are too many things going on these days, and I still feel uncomfortable.
I should be able to write more tomorrow
