Wind and Rain Empire

At the entrance of the secret road in Zhongning County, Lan Xueyi, Jixiang, Xiao Si, Zhang Tiancheng, and Muratshi are sitting in a carriage and preparing to enter the entrance of the secret road

Li Siqin's voice suddenly sounded

"Sister Xueyi, wait a minute!"

Lan Xueyi looked back and saw that Li Siqin was coming in a carriage, so Lan Xueyi jumped out of the carriage and went to meet Li Siqin

"Siqin, why are you here?"

Li Siqin also jumped out of the carriage, pointing at the goods on the carriage

"This cart is given to you by my brother, take it. After all, you have made great contributions to protecting the country and haven't been rewarded yet."

"They are all acquaintances, why are you so polite? What are these things?"

Lan Xueyi looked at the contents of the car

Li Siqin lifted the blanket wrapped in the goods

"These are all special products of our Xia country. (Order goods) include sheepskin, blankets, dried meat and dried roses."

Lan Xueyi looked at the goods in the car and smiled at Li Siqin

"So much? Then I'm not being polite. Thank you brother for me."

Li Siqin blushed unknowingly

"There's no need to say thank you"

She grabbed Lan Xueyi's sleeve and kissed Lan Xueyi's cheek

"We want to thank you, thank you!"

Li Siqin quickly got on the horse, reluctantly waved at Lan Xueyi, pulled the bit of the horse as if she had made up her mind, and galloped away

Lan Xueyi felt the scorching gaze behind her, looked behind her, and saw a group of people looking at her

"What do you see me doing?"

Xiaosi had a smirk on his face

"General, Princess Siqin kissed you."

Lan Xueyi looked okay

"Yeah, it's normal for women to hug and kiss, what's so strange?"

Xiaosi looked at Jixiang suspiciously

"Is that right?"

Jixiang turned to look at Xiaosi

"What do you see me doing? I'm not a woman!"

The three looked at Mr. Murat. Mr. Murat didn't know what to say, so he could only watch with suspicious eyes from the three of them, and finally said something lightly.

"it's common……"

Now Xiaosi gave up, and everyone got into the carriage together

At night in the county government office of Mian County, Xingyuan Prefecture, the servants are cleaning the front hall

Mrs. Chen Wang was sitting on a stool drinking tea with a leisurely look, and exclaimed

"Oh, it's good to have a daughter. Once they are prosperous, the father and mother will follow Xiangfu (pause) to see. It will be different if there are servants. You don't have to sweep the ground, you don't have to cook (look to Chen Dong) Hey, why didn't you think about getting a job and becoming an official? Then Linlin wouldn't have to enter the palace to be a concubine, and I could enjoy the blessing ten years earlier."

Chen Dong took a sip of tea and almost choked

"You can pull it down, I don't want to be an official, I still like my pawn shop, the shop is passed down from my family's ancestors, and it was passed down to me through my grandfather and father."

Chen Wang sarcastically said

"Oh, a pawnshop that has been handed down for three generations, so glorious! If you say that you have been an official for three generations, it sounds good, and a pawnshop has been run by three generations of your family. Look at the one who gave you! Do you have to ask the emperor to give it to you? Would you like to award a brand of 'Century-Old Store' to the door of your store? If you had planned carefully since your grandfather's generation, had a few more daughters, raised them and sent them to the palace, it would not be what it is now."

Chen Dong answered

"That is, in case there is an unhappiness between the daughters and Longyan is furious, you will be happy to kill someone?"

Chen Wang nodded Chen Dong with her finger

"Look at you, don't you know? Those who enter the court with kindness as officials are also scholars. I don't have to worry about sitting in the court. I have no problem with the emperor. I can't punish a scholar-bureaucrat. If I break the sky, I will be a exile"

Chen Dongchao Chen Wang's hands arched

"Hey, I thank you, you are always blessed to enjoy it, don't criticize me here."

Chen Wang's topic changed

"Hey, baby's father, when do you think we can see Linlin?"

"She is the emperor's concubine, and she is not an official of the court. How could she see her? She doesn't take vacations."

Chen Wang was puzzled, and continued to mutter

"You said that the official has more than 110 days of vacation every year, why don't the concubines and the others take vacation?"

"They stay idle every day in the harem, how could they be allowed to take a vacation? Don't think about those useless things."

Chen Wang sighed sadly

"Hey, think about how long we haven't seen Linlin, can we still recognize this goodbye?"

Chen Dong put the tea bowl on the tea table and stood up

"Let's say you think too much. No matter how she grows up, Linlin doesn't change her appearance. How could we as parents not recognize her? Hey, did you drink too much? Why do you keep saying these useless things tonight?"

Chen Wang glanced at Chen Dong

"It's not okay to do it"

"How about we go to the night market in the county?"

Chen Wang's smile

"If you had thought about taking me out earlier, I wouldn't bother you!"

She stood up, walked over to put her arms around Chen Dong, and the couple walked out the door

In the Chunming Palace, Concubine De and Concubine Shu are sitting in the hall peeling lychees and eating

Concubine Shu asks while eating

"Sister Defei, where did you buy this lychee, it's so sweet and delicious"

Concubine De glanced at Concubine Shu

"Although it's delicious, you should eat less, it's a whole ten catties here."

Concubine Shu waved her hand

"What is ten catties? The two of us eat on average and only five catties each."

Consort De quickly shook her head

"No, I can't eat five catties. I can't eat more than one catty. You just asked me where I bought the lychees? How could I know? came back"

Concubine Shu glanced at the litchi in her hand

"Hey, I'm really emotional"

Defei looked at her strangely

"What are you going to feel sorry for?"

"I'm feeling 'a concubine who rides the world of mortals smiles, but no one knows it's a lychee'. This was a scarce item in the previous dynasty, but now I have it all over the street, can you not feel emotional?"

Concubine De also eats lychees

"That's because I was prosperous in the dynasty, so I have it. My lychees from the Song Dynasty have been sold to Persia. Don't you feel sorry for this?"

Concubine De put down the litchi in her hand and called Concubine Shu

"Hey, I told you to eat less, don't blame me for not reminding you if you get angry after eating soon"

Concubine Shu still ate voraciously and said

"Hey sister, don't ordinary people say that the color and smell of lychee will change in four or five days? How can it be shipped to Persia?"

"Hey, you don't understand this, right? What I heard from the buyer is that the businessman seals the lychee in a bamboo tube with content and then seals it with a layer of wax. When it arrives in Persia, it is as delicious as the one just picked from the tree. "

Concubine Shu marvels

"Oh, this is really amazing"

A maid ran in and interrupted their conversation

"The concubine Shu, the concubine De, the official family and the empress Zhaorong are visiting"

Concubine Shu was taken aback, and the litchi fell to the ground

"What? The official family is here? (Looking at Concubine De) What day is it today?"

Concubine De shook her head without knowing it, Concubine Shu picked up the lychee on the ground and stuffed it into her mouth to eat, the two concubines tidied up a bit and stood up

The emperor walked into the hall with Zi Linglong, smiling happily

Concubine Shu and Concubine De are in unison

"The courtiers and concubines have met the officials"

Zi Linglong bowed and saluted

"Greetings to the two sisters, the two sisters are polite"

The emperor looked at Concubine Shu and Concubine De

"Excuse me, I haven't visited you two for a long time, what are you doing today? (looking at the lychees on the table) Oh, are you eating?"

Concubine Shu posted on the front

"Officials, the ministers and concubines eat lychees with Concubine De here when they have nothing to do, and I feel emotional."

the emperor finds it interesting

"Oh? What are you feeling?"

Defei stepped forward to explain

"Sister Concubine Shu lamented that these lychees were a scarce product in the previous dynasty. Now I have them all over the street. The concubine said that it is because the government governs the country and the economy is prosperous, so these delicacies are available everywhere. Everyone can be enjoyed”

The emperor nodded happily

"Aifei is right! (Laughs) Hahaha"

Concubine Shu gave Zi Linglong a handful of lychees on the table

"Sister Zhaorong, come and eat some too. Your Concubine De concubine buys a lot here. If you don't eat any more, I will almost finish it."

Zi Linglong smiled and pushed the litchi away

"Sister Concubine Shu, you should eat more yourself, my sister is cold, so I'm afraid of getting angry if I eat this."

"How could it be? You won't get angry if you just eat this."

As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Shu's nose began to bleed

The emperor pointed at Concubine Shu's face

"Concubine Shu, you have a nosebleed."

Concubine De turned to Concubine Shu's face and smiled

"Hahaha, you foodie, are you really angry?"

Zi Linglong looked at the maid

"Come on, hurry up and get Concubine Shu a handkerchief"

Concubine Shu took the handkerchief from the maid

"It's really hot, and it's also a nosebleed."

Zi Linglong looked at Concubine Shu and said,

"The south itself is hot and dry, and my sister eats a lot, so she is prone to nosebleeds, but it's okay, drinking jujube boiled water can reduce the fire."

Concubine De poked Concubine Shu's head

"Thank you, sister Zhaorong, I told Concubine Shu earlier to tell her to eat less, and she insisted on not listening."

The emperor looked at Concubine Shu and Concubine De

"Today, Zhaorong and Zhaorong came to see you for nothing else, but the Hongwan in Zhaorong Palace made some sky lanterns, saying that they could be used to celebrate festivals. Zhaorong wanted to find you two to release them together, so I followed them. Come and join in the fun”

Zi Linglong smiled embarrassedly

"Originally, I wanted to invite Sister Xianfei and Sister Guifei together, but I did it in a hurry and there were not enough materials, so I only made four. In addition, Sister Xianfei and Sister Guifei were a little far away from my sister's Ziyun Pavilion, so I just made four of them. I've come to Sister Concubine Shu's place"

Zi Linglong distributes Kongming lanterns

"One official, one concubine, two sisters, one each"

Concubine Shu was delighted to see the delicately crafted decal sky lanterns

"Then let's put it in the yard!"

A group of people walked into the yard, looking at the sky, Concubine Shu said

"Hey, it's still a bit windy tonight."

Zi Linglong looked at the flickering moonlight

"That's great, this lamp can fly farther."

Defei should

"Yeah, I'm not afraid of falling into the palace."

Zi Linglong smiled and looked at Concubine De

"Sister Defei thinks so much."

The palace servants lighted the lamp for the emperor, Zi Linglong and the emperor supported her, and slowly let the lamp fly

Zi Linglong said softly

"Officials may wish to make a wish"

The emperor pointed to the flying lamp and asked

"Is this still a wish?"

Zi Linglong replied with a faint smile

"If the officials think it's okay, they can make a wish."

The emperor clasped his hands together and made a wish, inner monologue

"May the country be peaceful and the people safe, our dynasty will be invincible, and we will have another prince, who will inherit the great rule in the future"

Then put down your hands and look at the sky lanterns drifting away

Concubine De also lit up the lamp and made a wish

"May the concubine be favored by the officials again, and give birth to another prince, so that the concubine can become the empress dowager"

Concubine Shu makes a wish

"May my concubines be able to eat delicious food all over the world, and it's better to be a little thinner"

Zi Linglong lights up the lamp, lets it fly, and makes a wish with palms together

"May sister Xueyi and the parents of the concubine be able to achieve their wishes and be in good health"

The emperor looked at Zi Linglong and asked

"Linglong, what wish did you make, so serious?"

"Officials, this is a secret, it won't work if you break it."

The emperor smiles happily

"Hahaha, okay, okay, then I won't ask."
