Jinzhong was very serious at this moment, and answered Yanwan in a low voice, "Lady Ling, this is the plum blossom cake given by the emperor."

Yan Wan looked at him suspiciously, and seeing that Jin Zhong had a very serious face, she raised her chin slightly and said, "Then let him go and leave."

Jinzhong seemed not to have heard it, and added, "This was presented to the emperor by Li Yu. I'm afraid it was sent by the one under house arrest." Then he waited anxiously by the side, waiting to hear Yanwan say something before he left.

Yanwan looked at the plate of plum blossom cake. Although it looked small, the workmanship was not delicate. She lowered her eyes and put away her overly big smile.

Jinzhong saw her pearly teeth exposed under her red lips when she lowered her head, and he also smiled a little. Yanwan was happy.

Yanwan covered her lips and whispered, "If Ruyi knew, she would be so angry that she would die." Her cheeks were flushed with joy, and she laughed so happily that Jinzhong's eyes seemed to be soaked with honey.

"Congratulations, Master Ling." Jinzhong bowed slightly and went back to report to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Ling asked me to convey that she is very grateful to Your Majesty." Jinzhong leaned close to the emperor's ear and whispered.

Li Yu, who was standing next to him, had an embarrassed expression on his face. He watched the emperor's reaction without blinking, and in his heart he blamed Concubine Ling for being seductive and seducing the emperor, and for ruining Concubine Xian's intention to present her to the emperor.

The emperor looked at Yanwan, who was wearing a light blue dress embroidered with blue star flowers. She seemed to have drunk some wine today, her face was rosy, and now she was smiling with her eyes narrowed with happiness, and she was raising her glass to the emperor from a distance.

Hongli smiled, picked up the wine in front of him, and clinked glasses with Yanwan across the distance.

Ling Yunche's heart twitched again, with a slight pain, reminding him that Yan Wan was now the emperor's woman and he could no longer think about her.

But he could not take his eyes off her figure, because every move of Yanwan was so beautiful.

A robe with intricate patterns suddenly blocked his vision. He looked up and saw Jin Zhong standing solemnly beside the emperor, just blocking his view.

Ling Yunche sighed. He came to deliver something for Concubine Xian and had to return to his duty post soon. He also came with the idea of ​​seeing Yan Wan. Now he has seen her, but he doesn't know when he will see her again.

Jinzhong used his peripheral vision to observe Ling Yunche leaving with a gray, smelly wind. He snorted softly and thought, "If you still want to peek at Master Ling, you're dreaming."

Yanwan propped up her chin and looked at the plate of cakes in front of her, her hands supporting her cheeks, smiling and concentrating on appreciating them. She was like a little squirrel who had found a treasure.

She quietly used chopsticks to poke many small holes in the cakes, and then mashed the plum cakes on the side that the emperor could not see into a paste.

Destroy, destroy everything. Destroy everything that Ruyi likes!

Knowing that this was a snack sent by Ruyi, she would not eat it. Yan Wan was afraid that Ruyi would go crazy and drug the emperor. She had done this before. Although it was unlikely, what if it happened?

When the emperor saw Yan Wan's girlish demeanor and the look as if she was reluctant to eat, he felt even more relieved. Concubine Ling liked the cakes he gave her very much, which showed her infatuation with him.

Concubine Jia looked at Yan Wan and the emperor toasting from a distance, curled her lips, and said with emotion, "This noble lady Ling is really loved by the emperor."

Bai Ruiji turned her head to see Concubine Jia with a bit of anger and jealousy on her face, and she also took over the conversation and said jokingly, "Concubine Jia is in her prime, why does she care about Concubine Ling's little honor and favor?"

She chuckled and used her handkerchief to cover the smile on her lips. "Could it be that Concubine Jia is jealous? You know, jealousy is a great loss to a woman's virtue."

Concubine Chun also said, "The Emperor favors Concubine Jia much more than Concubine Ling." She sighed and laughed at herself, "If Concubine Jia is sad about this, what should we do?"

Concubine Jia shook her handkerchief and coughed lightly, "Oh, I said this, but Concubine Mei is protecting me very closely. Could it be that she saw that Concubine Ling was favored and wanted to climb up the high branch of her family?"

Bai Ruiji leaned on the armrest, looking up, just listening to the music with great interest, "Sister Jiafei's words really hurt my heart. I reminded you because I didn't want you to be jealous. Now it's my fault."

Concubine Chun tried to smooth things over, "Concubine Jia is quick-witted and quick-witted, and Concubine Mei is also straightforward, but she just said a few jokes."

Langya sat at the front, while Concubine Chun, Concubine Jia, and Concubine Mei were all sitting behind her. They were so close that she could hear their conversations clearly.

Langya placed one hand on the wine glass. The golden armor matched her golden palace dress very well. With a slight smile, she warned, "Sisters in the harem are originally one family. If the emperor likes Concubine Ling, that is Concubine Ling's ability. If anyone is dissatisfied, then they are making things difficult for me."

Hearing the seriousness in Langya's words, Concubine Jia looked away and the smile on her face disappeared. Instead, Bai Ruiji smiled and replied to the Queen, "I will follow the Queen's instructions."

Yan Wan didn't care about the undercurrents around her. She just enjoyed the folk art. It was so hard to have this happy and relaxing time. It would be a waste if she bothered to argue with others.

Everyone was having a great time, and in the lively atmosphere, the Empress Dowager told the Emperor that she wanted to find a good family for her daughter so that she could stay in the capital and be with his loving parents.

The emperor immediately promoted Hengti to the title of Princess Gulun Roushu and appointed a young and handsome official, the Minister of the Lifanyuan, to fulfill the empress dowager's wish to keep her daughter in the capital.

He also gave her a dowry that exceeded the standard to show his love for this sister. After all, Hengti was also his sister, and the warmth of the royal family was precious. The emperor was also willing to give his sister some face and support her.

After listening to the song, I happened to catch up with the custom of the local people today, which is to release lanterns, put candles in lotus lanterns, and make a wish at the moment of putting them into the water, and the wish will come true, which is a very good omen.

The two noble princesses in the palace were about to get married, and it was a time full of joy. The emperor asked Li Yu to take lanterns and distribute them to the concubines, the queen mother and the two princesses, saying that everyone should light lanterns and have fun together.

Jinzhong specially helped Li Yu distribute these lanterns. He quickly grabbed the best and most beautiful one and happily handed it to Yanwan, "Master, use this one."

Yanwan turned around, teased him, crossed her arms, and just said, "I don't want it."

Jinzhong quickly moved to the other side and begged her in a low voice, "My dear, please use this one. This is the best and most beautiful one here. Only this one can match you."

Yan Wan curled the corners of her mouth and smiled, "Give it here." Then she reached out to take it.

Jinzhong took advantage of the slightly chaotic situation and quietly touched Yanwan's white and tender hand, then slipped away with a triumphant smile.

The candle-lit lanterns are reflected in the water, carrying the different wishes of everyone.
