female concubine

Holding the scroll, the emperor looked at Xiao Youqing hesitantly, asked for advice, "Can I open it?"

"This is a painting that Jiang Shizhao presented to the official family. Can you open it? Why did the official family ask the concubine?" Xiao Youqing stared at her face in a daze, and immediately said: "The image of my mother has never been dissipated in my mind. , even if there is no painting, I still remember it very clearly, let the official house open it, it doesn't matter to the courtiers or concubines."

"Sorry, I reminded my sister of the past." She lowered her hand holding the painting.

Xiao Youqing got up from the seat, walked to the emperor, put her hands on her hands, and lightly clasped them, "If my mother knows that I have a good man like the official family who loves me, she will be happy for me."

With hesitant hands, he unwrapped the scroll's tether and slowly unfolded it. On the rice paper was a picture of a lady. Beside the woman in the painting was a milky-white lion cat. Its age was similar to Xiao Youqing's, and even its appearance was somewhat similar. very similar.

Xiao Youqing stretched out her hand, "This is when my mother was in Jinling when she was young... Uncle said that my mother loved cats very much. Later, the cat died and disappeared. When my mother left, she was very peaceful. The only people who were worried about me were my elder brother and me. Many people often say that I am very much like my mother, and Weng Weng treats me very well, so my mother is afraid that Weng Weng will send me to the road of marriage, so she asks my uncle to pick me up to Jinling after the funeral.” While talking, Eyes became more wet and red, "But the people from the founding mansion still found Jinling, and I also embarked on the path that my mother didn't want me to take. It was not forced by Weng Weng but my own choice. People are all the same, with desires, greed and selfishness."

Wei Huan put down the portrait and wiped the corners of Xiao Youqing's eyes with his hand, before hugging it into his arms, "Shall we go out to the palace for the lantern festival tonight?"

A few tears dripped onto her robe, Xiao Youqing raised her head and asked, "Didn't Zhengdan go out just now?"

"Let's relax, I want to spend more time with you while Shangyuan is on vacation."

----------------------------------

As soon as night fell, the shops on the streets of Tokyo City lit up their lanterns one by one. Many of the lanterns had word puzzles written on them. The shopkeepers exchanged the rich rewards for the puzzles. Before long, the shop entrances were surrounded by guessing puzzles. guests.

There are people coming and going in the downtown area, and the streets where children play cuju are also crowded with people, so they all ran to the cuju field with special goals to play football with bonfires and lanterns.

"Busy man, I finally saw your shadow." Two men rode beside a carriage.

"I just went to work for the official's family and left for a few days. Why, miss me?"

"Go! Go! Go."

"Officer, lady, the Xingguo Temple Bridge is here."

Qi Liu drove forward immediately, "There are a lot of people on both sides of the Bian River setting off river lanterns, Ah Lang and Da Niangzi want to go?"

The conversation beside the carriage was overheard by a small vendor in the alley with his head wrapped in a black scarf.

"it is good."

The coachman drove the carriage and parked in the Guozi Lane at the head of the bridge. Under the bridge was the Bian River passing through the city. The water was covered with river lanterns.

Wei Huan helped Xiao Youqing get out of the car, and took a cloak from the car to put on her, "It's windy by the river."

Leading her to turn out of Guozi Lane, "There is a temple here, and it is said that it is the most effective place to put lanterns."

At the end of the bridge, a small vendor saw the people getting off the carriage in extraordinary clothes, so he walked up with a lamp and smiled, "Your official wants to release the river lamp?"

"Looking at the temperament of a small official, he should be a scholar, right? The official has just been enthroned, so maybe he will open Enke this year, and a small official might as well try it." Stopped him, he stopped and said with a smile: "Your official, do you know that Tingkui on the top list is now Zuo Sijian Su Yu? The little one prayed to the Bodhisattva in the temple, and Su Sijian made a wish with this lamp." It was only on the Gold List, but this year it is the first official list on the Longfei List."

"How do you know that I am a scholar who is about to rush for the exam? You are not afraid of guessing wrong. Am I just a person with superficiality?"

"The young one has been in Tokyo for many years, and the appearance of a small official is either rich or noble. If he is not a Jinshi, then he must be on the way to the Jinshi exam."

"You said that Su Yu and Su Sijian won the number one prize after buying a lamp from you and making a wish?"

"Ah, yes, if you don't believe me, you can ask Su Sijian in person if you become a colleague with Su Sijian in the future."

"Six sons."

"exist."

"Give him silver."

"Yes."

After a group of people paid the money and left with the lamp, a woman led a three or four-year-old child and walked up and grabbed the peddler by the ear.

"Why do you use this matter to cheat people of money?"

"How do you call it cheating?" The vendor opened her hand, covered her ears and said inexplicably, "Su Zhuangyuan did indeed buy our lamp."

"It's just a lamp bought by a Bodhisattva because he couldn't bear the child's hunger. Now you are so lucky to use this to cheat people out of money?"

"I didn't force them." The vendor held an ingot of gold, "See, this is gold."

Qi Liu followed them from a distance with two lotus lanterns in hand.

"Su Yu doesn't seem like a person who believes in ghosts and gods."

"He is the second Chen Yu, maybe even worse than Chen Yu."

"A while ago, what bothered you was his appointment."

Wei Huan nodded, "The official is a good official, but he is too upright, and he is young and full of blood, and he is not afraid of anything." After taking two steps to the bank of the river, "I came out to relax with you today, why are you chatting again?" It's a matter of state, it's inappropriate." Then he turned and waved to Qi Liu.

Qi Liu put up the lantern, the base of the lantern was the lotus petals scattered beside the log, and in the middle was a lotus pod, and a candle lamp was placed on it, "Folk craftsmen are no worse than Ouchi craftsmen. The cold wind is wanton, and I look at this lamp, it really looks like a lotus flower."

Seeing no one around here, Xiao Youqing took off the veil, "Sometimes, fake flowers are better than real ones."

"Really?" Wei Huan lowered his head and looked at the lantern in his hand, "That's right, fake flowers don't have life and won't wither, but ah," he turned to look at the woman beside him, with the reflection of the river on his face, " How can inanimate things perceive the beauty of the world and the people in front of them?"

The two servants put the remaining lanterns and torches aside, bowed and walked away with their hands crossed.

Xiao Youqing took a step forward and stretched out his hand to gently caress her face. The light against the river surface could still illuminate the traces on her face, "While you can feel it, you must cherish your eyes. The official family is the king. If one day... "

Wei Huan held the lantern hanging by his leg and took a step forward to kiss Xiao Youqing's forehead lightly, interrupting her words: "We won't have a day when we hate each other."

Xiao Youqing leaned into her arms, and responded softly: "Okay."

After an unknown amount of time, the cold wind blowing from the Bian River woke people up. Wei Huan bowed his waist and picked up the lanterns and torches. He squatted on the bank and saw the sparkling water under the lights. .

"In this cold weather, you still put your hands in the ice cellar. No wonder I can't cover the heat at night. You don't care about your body when I'm around, let alone when I'm not around?"

"It's just that there is light on the surface of the water, sister, don't worry, nothing will happen to me."

"Your body needs to be recuperated for a long time, it doesn't mean that you will always be better when you are in good health now," Xiao Youqing took out the handkerchief, "Wipe it clean, hurry up!" He seemed to order.

"Good good."

She smiled and took out the fire bag from the bamboo tube. The smell of rosin overflowed instantly, and then she held the fire bag and shook it lightly twice to light the fire. Wei Huan lit the two lanterns and put the fire bag back on the bamboo tube cover, " Even if it is an impossible sustenance, it is also a place of hope." He took one of them and sent it to the water, "I don't have any special hopes, I only hope that my San Niang can live a long and healthy life, be safe and smooth, and never worry. The world can be clean and peaceful."

"Fool, how can anyone make a wish out of words."

Xiao Youqing pushed another lantern to the Bian River, and the two lanterns floated down along the river with the other lanterns, and the contrasting light of the river shone in his soft eyes.

His gaze was like a torch, and as the river lantern gradually drifted away, [If the gods are really known, let this deep love last forever, so that she can always be by my side. 】

- Bang! ——

Xiao Youqing's concentration was interrupted by a loud bell from Taiping Xingguo Temple on the opposite bank. There were also children's noises near Guozi Lane. Some passers-by wanted to go to the bank but were greeted by two young men.

Wei Huan squatted on one knee and stretched out his left hand to hold the hand of the person beside him, "What is Sanniang thinking?"

Xiao Youqing just shook his head left and right.

"Then let's go."

"it is good."

When turning around to leave, "the dry cold wind blowing from the northwest swept out all the lanterns on the Bian River, and the left one of the two lanterns floating side by side downstream was also blown out by this wind.

Beside the carriage is an open courtyard with a goal several feet high, and the laughter of teenagers can be heard frequently in the courtyard.

Qi Liu looked at the net gate in the fence, "I don't know whose child is playing football on the street without going home so late."

"My sister secretly made a wish again and didn't tell me." After the two returned, only the coachman stayed where he was, and Wei Huan helped Xiao Youqing into the car, "I'm so curious."

"Left and right are just as promised by the officials."

"I don't believe it," Wei Huan tilted his head, "If almost sister can..."

An inflatable cuju ball flew out of the high wall and just hit the lantern on the roof of the carriage. "You Qing!" The speaker subconsciously quickly protected the person beside him.

The paper lantern was knocked down, and the candle inside was tilted, causing the whole lantern to be lit. The lantern was right above the head, and it fell down in an instant, unable to dodge. However, the ball that touched the corner of the lantern suddenly shot out from the back of the carriage, knocking the lantern that was about to fall away. Wax tears fell on the young man's crew-neck robe.

The thrill was over, and the young man who ran out from behind the carriage kicked up the ball that was about to hit the ground again. With just one kick, the ball flew towards the goal in the high wall and hit Feng Liuyan.

Looking at the burning lantern with only a skeleton left, Wei Huan heaved a sigh of relief, pulled Xiao Youqing up and asked eagerly, "Didn't it scare you?"

She still shook her head lightly, "The concubine is fine, but the official family, the clothes are filled with cotton, aren't the official family afraid of burning themselves?"

"Anyway, it's not the first time I've encountered fire. I'm afraid because I know what it's like, but I'm even more afraid of you..."

The groom on the side was so frightened that he lost his soul, he jumped out of the car and knelt down with a plop, and Jishou kowtowed repeatedly, "The villain deserves death, please forgive me, Your Highness."

The two servants stood far away, seeing the ball coming and failing to stop it, they knelt down together with the coachman, "If the villain is not well protected, it will cause a catastrophe. Please punish the officials."

The emperor frowned and didn't speak, Xiao Youqing said: "All the servants get up, what happens suddenly, what can't be expected has anything to do with you, besides, I have nothing to do with the officials."

Wei Huan watched the young man in short brown kick the ball away and continued to move forward as if nothing happened, without stopping and without making a sound, so he jumped out of the car, "Please stop."

The author has something to say: Dragon Flying List: The emperor ascends to the top of the list.
