C101

During the New Year's Eve, Wang Rong and the other concubines had already agreed to let them know as soon as possible, because she said that her majesty would choose the first place and the additional reward would be given to her. All the consorts were still in high spirits, but beauty Sun said, "empress's Flower Lantern died a year ago at your majesty's Qianqing Palace, but concubines and the others really did not dare to fight against your empress."

Wang Rong He was startled, he did not know that this fact had already been made known to everyone in the palace maid, so he only smiled and said, "I will naturally not participate."

There were very few people who had ever used lanterns themselves within the palace concubines, so after Kunning Palace returned, they would discuss about it in groups of two or three hundred, "Do it as you wish." The Imperial Consort Guo said, "I think it's because the empress wants to see it. Last year's lanterns, His Majesty would rather read the imperial reports in Qianqing Palace than take a single step into Gonghou Garden. Furthermore, the first month of the year was extremely cold. It was even colder in the middle of the night and it was all for nothing. "

Some people thought like the Imperial Consort Guo, but not everyone could be like the Imperial Consort Guo, who had favors and status. There was no need to ask the Queen for mercy, there were concubines who wanted to make the Queen happy, and they would naturally do their best.

Within the Jingyang Palace, Wang Zhixi and Liu Mulan dressed opposite of each other like little kids, "Have you ever made lanterns before? I've only made one kind of lotus flower lamp since I was a kid, and I don't know anything else. "

"Just ask palace maid to help." Wang Zhixi said, "Do you think that everyone else is made by themselves?"

"But the Empress said she wanted to do it herself." Liu Mulan said, "It's more fun to do it yourself. If the Empress wanted to see the lanterns, she would naturally be able to make the lanterns look beautiful, but since the Empress let us do it, she obviously wants us to join in and have a good time. "

"If you know how to do it, you will naturally do it yourself. Just like you said, you only know how to make lotus flower lanterns, don't tell me that when the time comes, you will directly hang a lotus flower lantern?" Wang Zhixi said.

Liu Mulan didn't speak, she was obviously thinking.

In the past, there would always be a chance of winning when he attended the lantern fairs in the marketplace when he was home. Wang Zhixi thought that since Wang Rong and the empress dowager had personally made lanterns for him, there would definitely be a chance of winning as well.

And according to Wang Rong and her tactful personality, there was a high chance that this auspicious item was related to His Majesty. Wang Zhixi secretly made up her mind that she would definitely get the first place.

There was a lantern hanging in the emperor's study. Once the empress's name became famous in the imperial harem, there would naturally be people who knew that it was the empress who had lit it.

This time, empress said that they wanted to make lanterns, so there were many people who wanted to make lanterns with words.

"Your majesty is going to choose the best one amongst the lanterns." Wang Rong naturally didn't know that the imperial harem had many thoughts for a flower lantern, so she said to the emperor, "I haven't decided on a reward yet, but what does Your Majesty think?"

"I don't believe that you haven't made up your mind." Zhu Yijun said.

"I had originally planned to let His Majesty summon his pets for three consecutive days after he chose a victorious victory." Wang Rong He said, "Your majesty was lucky enough to have a harem not to be beautiful, but to be able to do it. Truly a wise ruler from time immemorial."

"Don't wear such a high hat for me." Zhu Yijun laughed, "This cannot cover up the fact that you think of us as the prize."

"What is a woman of the imperial harem begging for? Isn't it asking for mercy from your majesty?" Wang Rong He said, "I haven't said what the reward is yet. If His Majesty doesn't allow it, then we'll exchange it for something else."

"Then what if the one I choose is yours?" Zhu Yijun asked.

"Mine doesn't count." Wang Rong He said, "His Majesty wants to choose another one."

"You really are a noble person." Zhu Yijun said, "Then we shall do as you say."

"Thank you, your majesty." She stood up from Zhu Yijun's embrace and said, "Your Majesty, it's getting late. Let's change clothes and go to the Gonghou Garden to admire the lights."

"You want to change your clothes?" Zhu Yijun asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, it has been a long time since I've worn clothes at home. Please accompany me, Your Majesty." Wang Rong He said.

Wang Rong and Zhu Yijun changed into their common clothes. Zhu Yijun wore a bright yellow robe with five bats carrying their longevity and ingots of gold on it. Wang Ronghe's upper body was dressed in a lute sleeves, with carp lotuses embroidered on it. He wore ten long, vermilion dresses with carp lotuses embroidered only four or five inches beneath the skirt, looking lifelike as he moved his carp and his skirt.

"Did Zitong request for this set of clothes?" Zhu Yijun looked at the inscriptions on his clothes, "I feel like I have become a golden ingot."

"Gold ingots aren't good enough." Wang Ronghe said, "Everyone loves gold ingots." She asked Zhu Yijun to sit down and to take off the golden dragon crown on his head.

Zhu Yijun looked at the mirror from left to right, "This looks just like a bookshelf."

"Whose bookcase is this big?" Wang Rong and His Majesty smiled exaggeratedly. "Even if it's just a novel, I'm afraid."

Wang Rong had combed a beautiful bun with a single conch. She wore a white fox with a red jewel in it. She also had a single fringed hairpin in her bun. Zhu Yijun sat at the side and helped her to fix her makeup, "We will draw Zitong's eyebrows."

Wang Rong looked at Zhu Yijun, "But I'm used to painting with her, now I don't even know how to draw. I'm pointing at her."

"I'll draw your eyebrows, raise the case up to your eyebrows, and ask for a good omen in January." Zhu Yijun said.

Wang Rong and she could only ask Miao Rong to give the brush to His Majesty. Zhu Yijun, on the other hand, was rather happy with the painting, and even praised Wang Rong and the others, "See, it's pretty good."

Wang Rong replied with a smile, but no matter how she looked at herself in the mirror, she felt that her eyebrows were suddenly raised. She gave him a meaningful look and told him to wait a bit before changing his eyebrows.

Zhu Yijun waited by the side with his hands on his sleeves, and then said after a while, "Why does it take so long for a woman to put on makeup?"

"Of course you can draw very quickly. If you want to do it well, it will take a lot of time." Wang Rong He said, "His Majesty can't wait any longer. Let's go outside to drink some tea."

"Not good." Zhu Yijun said, "We are looking at you here." Unfortunately, he could not help but remain silent. After a while, he asked again, "What flowers are embroidered on your clothes? It doesn't seem to be common."

"Embroidered carp, forward this carp, New Year's luck." Wang Rong said mischievously, waited for Zhu Yijun to understand, and then laughed and said, "A carp leaping over the dragon gate is also a good allegory."

Last year at this time, I was still a young lady from a small Jinyi Guards, but today, I've become a queen. If this isn't a fish leaping over a dragon gate, then what is it?" Wang Rong He said.

"Naughty." Zhu Yijun said.

When leaving the palace, one would have to put on a cloak, looking like Wang Rong, she had even to put on a cape, so her hair had to be covered well. Zhu Yijun looked at her, "Since it has to be covered, then why are your hair and makeup so beautiful?"

"Didn't Your Majesty see it?" Wang Rong He said, "That's necessary."

did not want it, but we were furious and did not need this woman's shitty things. Wang Rong and I could only hold onto the furnace with one hand and let Zhu Yijun hold the other to pass some heat to him.

"Zitong's hands are soft." Zhu Yijun said.

"Hold it well, your Imperial Majesty." Wang Rong He said. The two of them didn't sit on the chariot s and instead walked towards the Gonghou Garden.

Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Rong and thought that it was strange, there shouldn't be only these people.

"Shh." Wang Rong gestured with her hand and said, "We secretly watched them back, and later we'll have to accompany the empress dowager to admire the lanterns."

"He came early on purpose." Zhu Yijun laughed, "What is your little brain thinking?"

"Originally, I wanted to come here secretly by myself, but since His Majesty is in the Kunning Palace, if I leave him behind, I'm afraid that His Majesty will feel dissatisfied with me again." Wang Rong He said, "Bringing His Majesty here, wanting to sneak in is extremely difficult."

"Why the hell did you sneak into my backyard?" Zhu Yijun laughed.

"Simple beacon." Wang Ronghe said, "When you accompany the empress dowager, say something that distracts your mind, and you will inevitably not be able to see it in detail." Every year, I have to make lanterns, and there are times when I have to steal masters in order to be inspired. "

Zhu Yijun let Wang Rong and her husband walk around with the lanterns in their hands. Other than the fact that there were not many people around, it was really the same as an ordinary couple coming out to admire the lanterns on the first day of the Feast of Yuanjia. Zhu Yijun clenched his hands tightly. In his eyes, the excited Wang Rong was better looking than a flower lamp.

"With one glance, you can tell that these are all masterpieces." Zhu Yijun said, "With so many lights, it is most likely done by the imperial concubines, even if their words were inferior to Zitong's beauty, they would still dare to be made into a light, it is just asking to be humiliated."

"Your Majesty." Wang Rong He said. He had no experience in the first year, so it was normal that he wouldn't do it. After that, everything would be fine. Besides, I think there are a lot of good things to do. "

"Isn't it very interesting to see a peony fairy lamp and a vase made from a fake vase with a plum tree inserted diagonally in the middle?"

"Yes, and this simple lotus flower lamp." Zhu Yijun found a lotus flower lamp that was the size of four palms. It was obvious that the owner could only make lotus lamp that was the size of a palm. Especially the fact that this lamp was placed right next to the bejeweled Celestial Peony lamp, making it appear even more shabby.

Wang Rong He moved the lotus flower lamp, below which were written the names of the palace and concubine. He moved with his back to the emperor, but the latter did not see him. Wang Rongzhi carefully placed it down again, "Although it's simple and crude, you can tell at a glance that it must have been made personally."

"A good flower lantern is not like a skilled craftsman. It would be troublesome if she did it. She took my words to heart, not to mention anything else. Her heart is worthy of praise." Wang Rong He said.

"I can see that you didn't make that lamp here?" Zhu Yijun said.

"It might be early, but it hasn't been fully released yet." Wang Rong He said, "Your Majesty, let's head back to the palace."

After returning to the Kunning Palace, he would have to change his clothes and comb his hair, then wear a heavy and complicated formal attire. After personally seeing Wang Rong and the cute little lady transform into the solemn and dignified Empress, Zhu Yijun finally had a better understanding of the Queen spending so much time alone with him, and that was a cute memory from the unchanging imperial palace.

Zhu Yijun suddenly felt assured, maybe the Queen would not become the person he was worried about, but would instead continue to be interesting.

It was something that attracted him from the very first moment.
