After discovering that the emperor is a woman

The two people holding lanterns in their arms and the lonely cat stared at each other for a long time.

In the end, Liu Jiuning, who was at a loss, was the first to lose.

She muttered to the fat cat, apologizing and appeasing, and followed Diwang Qi to feed the big cat, which was almost starved and thin after a meal.

The fat raccoon slave put his head down and sucked in the storm.

He didn't pay any attention to the two humans who rejected it at all, until he was full, he reluctantly gave it a straight look, licked his paws, and gave a faint meow.

After feeding the cat, the two of them stopped wasting time, took the lanterns, and continued to do the unfinished business.

Only this time.

There is also a big raccoon slave patrolling the territory beside him.

Liu Jiuning has long been used to the raccoon slave walking with them. Anyway, he is just an ignorant kitten, and he can't destroy the beautiful world of two people at all.

Besides, kittens can't understand human language, and this isn't the first time a cat has fallen in love with her!

The relative who was outside the window sill earlier.

The cat is squatting and watching with its eyes wide open!

Walking and stopping along the way, chatting and admiring the moon, even if you can't hold hands with the lanterns, the atmosphere is very lingering.

Didn't meet anyone either.

It was as quiet as if there were only the two of them left in the world.

Liu Jiuning was very satisfied with this, and it was not in vain that she specially found Concubine De and asked her to help clear the 'safe' passage!

Remoteness is a bit remote.

But the candlelight on the road was also quite a bit.

gone for a long time.

The bright moon hangs high above the head.

Liu Jiuning finally walked to the expected stream and river, which was much farther than she expected. Fortunately, with the company of her sweetheart, no matter how far the road is, it will not be too long.

She looked around first.

After confirming that there was no one there, he took the emperor to the pavilion by the lake, sat down, and put the lantern on the stone table.

At the same time, he looked up at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, put down the lanterns first. Are you tired from walking with so many things?"

Don't look at the lightness of these lanterns.

In fact, the weight is not low. After all, they are carefully made by craftsmen, and some of them have not been opened yet, and they are pressed tightly one by one.

Seeing this, Li Nanchu first put the lantern in his hand on the table, and then placed the scattered small lanterns one by one.

After practicing martial arts for many years, she actually doesn't feel tired.

But seeing that the little queen was out of breath, she took a rest with her.

"Your Majesty, I heard that this stream flows through the moat outside, and the direction of the floating lanterns in previous years is also the moat. Different routes lead to the same goal. You will put a few more later to make up for the excitement that I was not around you in the past..."

Liu Jiuning arranged the lanterns on the table by the light of the lanterns, muttering non-stop.

It's getting late.

I'm also afraid that tossing too late will delay the emperor's sleep. You must know that the early morning in this era is really earlier than the chicken, and it is very hard.

If you don't get enough sleep, it's really torture.

Thinking of this, Liu Jiuning sped up his movements, fiddled with the lanterns one by one according to the method he remembered, and looked up at the emperor.

Said: "Your Majesty, you can choose a few, let's go to the river to try first."

Li Nanchu looked at the various exquisite lanterns on the table, raised his hand, and said, "What kind of appearance does Jiu'er like?"

If the little queen likes it, she naturally likes it too.

"Oh! Then this really stumps me, I like everything, what should I do!"

Of course Liu Jiuning couldn't fail to see what the emperor was thinking. She half-supported her face and smiled, staring straight at the handsome and beautiful emperor through the faint light of the lantern.

Seeing the other party began to meditate.

Only then did he chuckle, and continued: "You can pick as many as you want, after all, we put up these lanterns, it doesn't make any difference."

But it needs some sense of ceremony!

After all, for the emperor's birthday, of course the birthday star must be chosen first!

"it is good."

Li Nanchu took two lotus lanterns of different styles from the table.

This lantern looks very simple. From a distance, it is no different from the prayer lanterns floating in the river at the temple fair.

When she was still young, when she saw the prayer lamp for the first time, she also thought about putting a lamp in the past.

But as I got older, I knew that ghosts and gods could not satisfy people's desires, so I never thought about it again.

She handed one of them to the little queen, and said with a smile: "Then just these two."

"Okay!" Liu Jiuning rummaged through the lanterns to find candlesticks and long candles, borrowed fire from the lantern, stood up, pulled the emperor's sleeves and walked out of the pavilion, saying at the same time: "When we get to the water's edge It’s safer to light the lanterns again, you don’t know, there was a little girl who lit the lanterns early in the year, who would have thought that the lanterns would start burning before reaching the shore..."

She smiled and talked about the past.

Holding the hem of her skirt and stepping on the rocks, she did not forget to remind the emperor to pay attention to her feet.

Carefully come to the shore.

Liu Jiuning handed the candlestick to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, please order some."

"Don't shake, don't shake the lamp!"

"Don't worry, I found a quick rock, let's sit down and put it down slowly."

"Yes, yes, that's it, tilt it a bit, lift it up quickly after lighting it, and borrow a fire quickly!"

"Do you want to ask me why I didn't take out the candles in the lantern?"

"Oh, it's more challenging this way!"

……

Under Liu Jiuning's chirping guidance, it didn't take long for the two lanterns to be lit.

Liu Jiuning put the candlestick aside, and continued: "Just like me, hold the lamp with both hands, then put your hands by the river, and put it down slowly."

Both hands hang down on the water at the same time.

The lantern fell lightly, causing circles and ripples on the surface of the water reflecting the two lingering figures.

"Then! Let's put our hands in the water and gently shake the water surface." Liu Jiuning took the emperor's hand and led him gently into the water.

The water is swirled back and forth, but not a drop of water is splashed.

Li Nanchu turned his head to look at the little queen, only to see that her bright eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky, and her smile was pure and warm as the morning sun.

A smile formed on her lips.

The lotus lantern gradually became remote under the ripples.

After Liu Jiuning played with the emperor in the water for a while, she lifted her skirt and went back and forth to fetch the lamp like a busy duckling.

It was different from the first time.

This time they swelled up, and put down six or eight lamps, and then swayed out by the water waves.

Soon.

The surface of the water is full of lanterns, flickering, like a river of lights leading to a fairyland.

At this time, only Li Nanchu still had the last lantern in his hand.

The emperor just wanted to put the lantern into the water, but was stopped by the little queen beside him.

"The last lamp can make a wish!"

Liu Jiuning spoke seriously, afraid that the emperor would not believe it, and added: "It's very effective! You don't need to write it on the lantern, just close your eyes, recite your wish silently in your heart, and put the lantern in the water. Will bring wishes to heaven."

Rounding up, the birthday cake candles are almost the same!

Anyway, make a wish.

"it is good."

Li Nanchu followed the little queen's wishes and closed his eyes.

She doesn't believe in ghosts and gods.

But still make a simple wish at this moment.

only wish.

This is the case every year, so accompanied by her little queen.

The palm lantern slowly fell into the water.

Li Nanchu opened his eyes, but saw countless dots of light shining on the lanterns on the lake.

Falling into the mortal world like a sky full of stars.

As if in a dream.

Liu Jiuning thought that the emperor's wish would last longer, but he didn't expect that the other party would open his eyes if he didn't pay attention.

Fortunately, the firefly was finally released with the help of Concubine De.

She silently put the hand shaking the Ye Mingzhu behind her back, stuffed the Ye Ming Pearl into the specially made tight pocket, and at the same time stretched out her other small paw, interlocking with the fingers of the emperor's hand that was still resting on the water.

Said softly: "Happy birthday, my big baby."

"Having Jiuer here is my greatest happiness." Li Nanchu turned his head to look at the little queen.

She knew that the festive lanterns and the shining lights all over the sky were all foreshadowing the phrase 'Happy Birthday'.

Although the words are simple and plain.

It was the most beautiful blessing she had ever heard.

"of course."

Liu Jiuning leaned close to her little face, waited for a long time but didn't see anything from the emperor, so she reached out and tapped her cheek under the other's gaze.

Shouldn't she be rewarded for the romance she worked so hard to create?

Li Nanchu smiled silently when he saw the sight of the little queen turning around but not falling on her.

She reached out and gently pulled the other's cheek.

After meeting the eyes of the little queen, he piously put a kiss on the brow, and then gently touched and slid down until it landed on the soft lips, without hesitation, he pried his lips and teeth open...

(omit 233 words that cannot be described)

Night lights.

The atmosphere gradually became anxious, and the passage of time was forgotten.

In the end, Liu Jiuning noticed that the emperor's arms were embracing and landed on a soft rabbit through the clothes.

Only then did he come back to his senses with a blushing face.

He patted the big unruly paw of the emperor lightly, coughed a few times, pushed the person away, and tidied up his clothes in a hurry.

"It's getting late, it's time to go back and rest!"

After tidying up her clothes, Liu Jiuning stood up talking to herself, and was about to leave, but because the river bank was too slippery, she almost fell into the river full of lanterns.

Fortunately, Liu Jiuning had a sharp eye and a quick hand, and grabbed the little queen's waist.

Toes lightly.

Then he returned to the gazebo on the shore.

"Are you hurt?" Li Nanchu asked eagerly.

"No, it's just that my feet slipped, go back and rest."

Liu Jiuning casually picked up the lantern on the table, worried that the emperor would not get enough sleep tonight, so she hurriedly dragged the people back, and suddenly remembered that the gift she had really prepared hadn't been delivered yet.

He smiled and said, "I also prepared a gift for His Majesty! It's almost midnight now, if you miss His Majesty's birthday and give it again, it will be wrong. Why don't Your Majesty bring your ministers and concubines to fly back with light work..."

Before she could say the remaining coquettish "okay", Liu Jiuning was picked up horizontally and walked to the top of the palace at night.

This time the emperor's lightness skill was not used quickly.

Not to mention, it's funny!

This Liu Jiuning is immersed in the experience of an alternative perspective of the night palace.

On the lakeside where the lanterns were set off just now, there were many more people in black robes, and they started to pick up the lanterns on the water surface and then the fireflies around them.

Concubine De, who was also dressed in black, jumped to the top of the gazebo two or three times, stared at the hidden guards at work, and said lightly: "Be careful when fishing for lamps, and send them to the moat in whatever shape you pick them up. Send them over one by one, and the candles must not be extinguished."

The stream in the palace does lead to the moat.

But this common method is a complicated underground river, and the lanterns may only have a chance to reach the outside of the palace if they sink.

But since it is the queen's wish, it has to be realized.
