Song Qingwan was lighting lotus lanterns to pray for her family when she suddenly heard whispers in the distance. She concentrated her attention but could not hear anything.

Then she caught a glimpse out of the corner of her eye and saw that there seemed to be a group of people staring at them in the distance!

Song Qingwan pretended to be calm, chatting with Haitang while fiddling with the lotus lantern, but she was wondering in her heart who was so sneaky.

The night was too dark to see who was hiding in the dark, but it looked like there were so many people, so who in the entire palace could be followed by so many people?

With so many people, Song Qingwan had the answer in her mind

Song Qingwan clasped her hands together and said devoutly, "I hope that our Daqing Dynasty will prosper, the people will live and work in peace, the soldiers will be strong, and the emperor..."

Haitang asked with interest

"How is the Emperor, young lady?"

Xiao Rui, who was hiding in the dark, patted the eunuch Xia Lu and said, "Haha, this little palace maid asked a good question! We must reward her generously."

Xia Lu replied, "Yes, I know."

Xiao Rui glared at Xia Lu and said, "Shh, don't talk!"

Xia Lu could only smile awkwardly but politely. Well, he is the emperor after all. So what if he has double standards?

Here

Seeing that Song Qingwan didn't answer, Haitang continued to ask, "Speak, my lady."

In fact, Song Qingwan didn't answer because she found that after Haitang asked that question, there was a quiet and noisy voice coming from the dark.

At this moment, she became more determined in her judgment!

Song Qingwan smiled and said, "I hope that the emperor will be blessed with great fortune and prosperity for eternity."

Haitang insisted, "No, my lady, what you wanted to say just now must be more than just this, there must be something else."

Song Qingwan: "And...that is..."

There was a whisper in my ear again.

Xiao Rui: "Speak, speak, why are you stuck? This Song Changzai is really!"

Xia Lu: "Your Majesty, since you are so loud, why don't you just lean over and ask Song Changzai in his ear?"

Xiao Rui kicked Xia Lu to the ground

Song Qingwan said shyly, "In fact, I have admired the emperor's talent for a long time since I was a boudoir... My greatest hope in this life is to be able to have a harmonious relationship with the emperor and live in harmony with him..."

"Ah?!" Haitang

"Ah?!" Xiao Rui

This time, Xiao Rui's voice was so loud that even Haitang heard it. Haitang was so scared that she stepped back and shouted

"Who's sneaking around there? Come out now!"

Xiao Rui gritted his teeth and said, "This little palace maid, wait and see how I punish her later."

Xia Lu doesn't care. I'm used to my master's daily double standards.

Xia Lu then said loudly, "You reckless little girl, the Emperor is here!"

Haitang was full of questions. Ah, it was the emperor. She just said that about the emperor. Will his head be chopped off?

Song Qingwan reacted first and pulled Haitang to kneel down and salute.

"The concubine Song Changzai from Yufangzhai pays respect to His Majesty"

She added, "I didn't know it was the Emperor who was coming. I'm sorry for not welcoming you from afar. Please forgive me."

At this time, Xiao Rui came over with big strides and a lively look. He seemed to be a different person from the one who was hiding in the corner eating watermelons just now.

He walked to Song Qingwan, took her hand and helped her stand up.

"It's okay. Does Concubine Song also want to come to the lotus pond to appreciate the flowers?"

Song Qingwan replied, "Yes, there are many lotus flowers in full bloom. The scenery is very beautiful. You can also place lotus lanterns by the lake to pray for blessings."

Speaking of praying, the atmosphere suddenly became subtle

I guess they both thought of the scene just now and found that their hands were still not loose.

Xiao Rui took the lead in breaking the awkwardness: "Why are your hands so cold?"

Song Qingwan: "Your Majesty, I am a little weak and have always had cold hands and feet since I was a child."

Thinking of this, Song Qingwan thought of her childhood when she was always bullied by Song Chuning and Song Ruoting. They always made her kneel in the snow in the winter. Ma Wenhui and An Lihua were jealous of her beauty because she was more beautiful than their own daughters. They always found excuses to punish her.

After Xiao Rui heard what Song Qingwan said, he clenched his hands even tighter. "It's okay. I'll warm you up."

Song Qingwan smiled at Xiao Rui and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

This smile attracted Xiao Rui's soul. Her big eyes curved into crescents. She was beautiful and charming with bright eyes and white teeth.

Xiao Rui found a topic: "Have the lotus lanterns been released?"

Song Qingwan pointed at the unfinished lotus lanterns and said, "It's over there."

Xiao Rui looked into Song Qingwan's eyes and said, "Then let's release them together."

Song Qingwan blushed and said "OK"

At this time, Xia Lu quickly pulled Haitang aside to give the two of them some time alone.
