"Sister, the pavilion over there is clean. My sister will help my sister to rest there." Ling Rong helped Meizhuang into the pavilion by the water, and felt relieved when Meizhuang sat down.

"Sister, it's getting late, the emperor and empress should come too. The sister's lamp should be lit too?" Mei Zhuang said suddenly.

"Huh?" Ling Rong didn't react for a while, and couldn't help being stunned.

"My sister is ingenious and the lantern is beautiful," Mei Zhuang praised.

"My sister has won the award, but it's just some trivial craftsmanship that can't be seen on the stage. It can't compare with my sister's quality and heart." Ling Rong said with a smile.

"Why should my sister be so modest, I envy my sister's carefulness even more." Mei Zhuang sighed.

"Sister, don't sigh. You can't let down such a beautiful day. Liuli, go and light the lanterns. There's no wind here, so it's perfect." Ling Rong said with a smile.

"Yes, my lord." Liuli took out the torch and lit the lantern, and the soft light lit up, making people feel warmer.

"Sister Miao Si, this lantern looks very unique." Mei Zhuang looked at the plum blossom lantern in Lingrong's hand and praised.

"My sister's lantern suits my sister very well! My sister wishes my sister all wishes come true!" Ling Rong looked at the lantern in the shape of Fuwa holding a carp in Mei Zhuang's hand, and said with a smile.

"Borrow my sister's auspicious words." Mei Zhuang smiled sweetly.

"It's almost time, let's go over there. I think the emperor's holy car should also come, such a good night, don't let down my sister's hard work."

"Okay." Ling Rong smiled magnanimously, supported Mei Zhuang and walked towards the crowd.

As soon as they stood still, the carriages of the emperor and empress arrived, and the eunuch's unique voice came, and everyone knelt down to see the emperor and empress.

After the emperor asked everyone to get up, the highlight of the night began, and he and the queen set off lanterns to pray for blessings.After praying, let everyone go to release river lanterns.

Many concubines who were not interested in drinking began to circle around the emperor, and the empress smiled and went for a walk by the river with a few old people in the palace to talk.

It's a pity that those lanterns that are more than exquisite and gorgeous but lacking in aura and heart can't arouse the emperor's interest, let alone Zhen Huan.Although Zhen Huan was squeezed out by all the concubines, it still couldn't stop the emperor from looking for the "Huan Huan" in his heart, so the emperor seemed a little absent-minded.

Ling Rong looked at the emperor surrounded by everyone, and couldn't help feeling a little ashamed, and had the urge to give up this opportunity for a moment.

However, based on Lingrong's understanding of the emperor, the emperor will soon come out of the encirclement, after all, this master doesn't like making noise very much.

Sure enough, the emperor soon left the crowd with a stern face, and the concubines did not dare to follow, so they could only scatter in resentment, looking for the next opportunity not far away.And Zhen Huan was standing not far from the crowd at this time. Compared with the concubines who were all dressed up, Zhen Huan's elegance and freshness were very conspicuous, and the emperor saw it at a glance.

Ling Rong originally wanted to take the opportunity to attract the emperor's attention first, and then proceed with the following plan.But now that Meizhuang is by her side, it's really not easy for her to use it well.

While hesitating, it was Mei Zhuang who moved first.

Mei Zhuang pulled Ling Rong to the emperor's side, and said softly, "Your Majesty! My concubine pays her respects to the Emperor!"

Ling Rong hurriedly followed to pay his respects, seeing that it was Mei Zhuang, the emperor's expression softened a lot, he stopped and stretched out his hand to help Mei Zhuang up.

"The road is dark and windy, why don't you know how to bring more people around? What if we bump into each other?" The emperor asked with concern.

"Is it a concubine? It makes the emperor worry. During the Lantern Festival, the concubine thinks that the pregnancy is stable, and there is sister An accompanying the concubine. It is not a problem to go out for a walk." Intentionally or unintentionally, he tilted towards Ling Rong, and Ling Rong raised the lantern in his hand in a timely manner.

The light reflected on the water jade on Ling Rong's head, giving off a sense of radiance, which is very conspicuous.As the saying goes, if you look at a beauty under the light, the beauty is as picturesque.

"This lantern looks unique and thoughtful." The emperor praised.

"Thank you, concubine, for your compliment." Ling Rong leaned slightly, and said coquettishly.

"The smile is like a flower, and the jade voice is mellow, the ancients will not deceive me." The emperor stretched out his hand to support the mausoleum, and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty~~" Ling Rong called angrily.

"The emperor loves my sister's lantern so much, why doesn't my sister hurry up and present the lantern to the emperor for a closer look?" Mei Zhuang teased.

"Your Majesty." Ling Rong felt as if waking up from a dream, blushing and presenting the lantern to the emperor.

The emperor took over the lanterns in good faith. The lanterns were indeed exquisitely made, and they were exactly what they wanted. The emperor took a few serious glances at them.With this look, I saw the flower stick in the plum blossom lantern in the middle.

Take it out, open it, and write a letter: "In front of the Qi window in the future, the winter plum blossoms have not yet bloomed. I have seen the winter plum blossoms, and I heard the sound of birds singing again. I look at the spring grass with my heart, and fear the former life."

"It's Wang Wei's poem. Although the poem is good, it's not as good as the words. It's not bad." The emperor said in a good mood.

"Concubine's handwriting is clumsy, and she should not be praised by the emperor." Ling Rong said modestly.

Just as he was talking, he saw the Queen coming over with many concubines. Ling Rong and Mei Zhuang hurriedly paid their respects. The Queen asked them to get up amiably, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, why are you here? All sisters We are still waiting for you to guess lantern riddles together."

"I just walk around casually, quietly and quietly." The emperor said in a good mood.

"The concubine thinks that this Lantern Festival should be lively. The sisters are waiting for the emperor." The queen said with a smile.

"The empress has said so, and I can't spoil everyone's interest, let's go." The emperor agreed.

"Ajiu!" A small sneeze sounded suddenly, but it turned out to be Mei Zhuang.

"The concubine is disrespectful, please forgive me by the emperor and queen!" Mei Zhuang hurriedly pleaded guilty.

"Get up quickly, Huigui is pregnant and weak, so it's inevitable that he won't be able to bear the wind." Before the emperor could speak, the empress spoke virtuously and generously.

"It's cold, let's go back and rest earlier," said the emperor.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Empress, my concubine will leave first." Mei Zhuang helped Ling Rong's hand to stand up, and the two left in the opposite direction from the crowd.

"Sister, why don't you go guess the lantern riddles together?" Mei Zhuang asked.

"My younger sister is not talented, so I won't join in the fun. I'm not tired. My younger sister will take her back to Cunjutang." Ling Rong said with a smile, feeling a little happy and worried about tonight's success. She didn't understand why Meizhuang will help her.

"Is my sister wondering why I would help?" Mei Zhuang said suddenly.

"Sister..." Ling Rong was a little surprised by Mei Zhuang's straightforwardness, but he quickly calmed down, and said very frankly: "My sister really doesn't understand why my sister would help me. My sister knows what my sister is thinking, so my sister will not be unreasonable." are you happy?"

After all, there are only so many favors from the emperor, and the more people share, the less you will be, isn't it?

"There are many concubines in this palace, but the emperor has only one. Who can monopolize this favor? There is always someone who will be favored, not you or someone else. If I am going to be angry, won't I Can't you get angry every year?" Mei Zhuang said calmly.

"That being said, but..." Ling Rong still couldn't understand, she thought her relationship with Mei Zhuang was not so good.

"In the past few days since entering the palace, I have seen a lot of open and dark arrows. In the end, the person I trust the most is also the one who hurt me the most." Said Mei Zhuang, feeling a little depressed.

"Sister, you..." Ling Rong couldn't help frowning, the Mei Zhuang in front of her felt strange to her.

"I used to care about some things, but now I can see them away. My sister is a rare smart person. I thank you for your suggestions. Whether you intend to or not, at least you have never had the intention of harming me. This time, Think of it as repaying my sister's love." Mei Zhuang said with a smile.

"Okay, let's not talk about these disappointing things, let's put the lanterns away, and go back." Mei Zhuang said, holding Ling Rong's hand.

"Okay." Ling Rong replied obediently, and the two of them walked towards the river with the maids and eunuchs.

Neither Lingrong nor Meizhuang, who were in a good mood, noticed that there was a pair of malicious eyes staring at them in the dark.
