King Lu and Princess Rei An were also by the side of the empress dowager. When the entire group of chariot came to a halt, their Gonghou Garden was already covered with the shadows of lanterns and the fragrant scent of flowers. The imperial concubines all knelt down and bade their farewells.

"Get up." The Empress Dowager Chen laughed and said, "It's a lively day in Central TV, everyone should be happy."

The empress dowager escorted the two empress dowager through the imperial garden and up to the second floor of the pavilion. The charcoal fire burned warmly, and one side of the window was replaced with a glass one. It could be clearly seen whether it was warm inside or inside. The empress dowager sat by the window, watching the serpentine fire in the imperial garden. Empress Dowager Li asked.

"It was purposely changed to make the empress and empress feel comfortable." Wang Rong He said.

"This window is good. You can see it clearly, and there's no need for the wind to blow." The Empress Dowager Chen praised. What's the material? "

"This is glass. It's from the south. But this piece of glass is hard to come by. If there's more in the future, the Queen Mother's palace can also have this kind of window. It's really bright and clean." Wang Rong He said.

This glass was a treasure of the Western Kingdom. It was originally called Li, but he didn't know the name of the country, so he knew that it was made of glass the moment he saw it. It was as hard as jade, also known as water jade, water essence, and he thought it was made of jade or earth, or ice from a thousand years ago. The glass was wine colored, purple, white, and the most expensive was red, but Wang Rong and Shen Ji, as long as it was white, had a small pavilion in the house with windows made of glass, winter snow was the best, glass was difficult to transport, and Wang Rong had not obtained any other goods apart from the glass she had used in the house, the rest was kept safe until after the wedding, when her grandmother came to the palace to bring her all of it.

Wang Rong and others made it into a removable window, where was there a need to move?

But she also thought well, as long as the three giants in the palace knew about the glass, wouldn't it be easy to get them in the future? Maybe it would be a good thing if he could figure out the glass himself.

"Pawns?" The Empress Dowager Li frowned. With the imperial court forbidding it from entering the sea, there would be a question as to the origin of this goods.

"mother, look at the lights." Zhu Yijun said.

After a while, the fire dragon actually slowly moved downstairs. It turned out that palace maid was holding a flower lantern and walking down one by one so that the empress dowager could admire the lamp upstairs. Rei An could not sit still. He leaned against the window and watched the scene unfold, then decided to head down again after arguing. Empress Dowager Li asked King Lu to accompany her. "He really is a peerless genius."

"It's only been a few years. When you get married, you'll only be thinking of her torturing others and won't be in front of them anymore." Empress Dowager Chen laughed. She was jealous of the Empress Dowager Li. Her fate was good, she gave birth to so many children, but most of them still survived.

"Your Imperial Majesty, you need to watch carefully." Wang Rong who was sitting beside Zhu Yijun reminded, "Only the lights of the palace concubines will be sent to the exhibition in front of the royal palace, His Majesty has to choose a victor amongst them."

Empress Dowager Chen turned her head when she heard this, "Is there any chance for an excellent victory?"

"To be selected by His Majesty as a winner, this is the biggest prize." Wang Rong said with a smile.

"Playing with these idiots." The Empress Dowager Chen laughed. "How about this, no matter how His Majesty rewards, your victory will be rewarded, and the empress dowager and the empress dowager will each receive a reward."

This Dowager was surprised to see a few lights that were properly done." Empress Dowager Li said, "Women have four virtues, women's virtue, women's words, women's appearance, and women workers. "These lanterns are also women workers. It's a good thing that the harem is working as a woman.

"How did that lotus flower lamp get in?" Empress Dowager Chen suddenly laughed, "It's really out of place."

The Imperial Lower Consort Lan sitting at the back couldn't sit still when she heard this. Because she was pregnant, she was the only one who entered the Wai Pavilion as the second wife. She regretted not listening to Wang Zhixi and asking others to make a lantern for her, so she had to do it herself.

"At that time, your son said that he wanted all the consorts to make their own lanterns. Although not everyone was proficient in these lanterns, the lotus flower lanterns were always made. This son feels that this lotus flower lamp is truly adorable. " Wang Rong He said.

Imperial Lower Consort Lan looked at empress, and saw that she did not turn her head to look at him. It wasn't because he wanted to take care of her, someone with a son.

"I feel that the empress's words make sense." Zhu Yijun said, "Then let's choose this lotus flower lamp as your victory." He was only concerned about finding the lanterns the empress had made. As for the rest, he didn't really care.

"Your Majesty." Wang Rong smiled helplessly and said, "Even if the imperial court wanted to take the Imperial Examinations, they would have to choose the top scorer for their top scoreboard. Why not also choose the top three for Flower Lantern, Lotus Flower Lantern will be chosen for his real skills, and the other two will choose the ones with the best skills."

"Human craftsmanship can be good or bad. Those that do well are also handmade by humans." Wang Rong He said.

"Then, I shall choose one of the remaining two, mother and mother shall choose one as well." Zhu Yijun said.

In the end, Zhu Yijun chose the Plum Blossom bottle that held the lantern, and Empress Dowager Chen and Empress Dowager Li chose the peony fairy floral lamp at the same time. eunuch went down and invited the owner of the three floral lanterns to come up. Zhu Yijun was still looking at the lanterns downstairs.

"What is the emperor looking at?" Empress Dowager Li asked.

"This Emperor is looking for the empress's lanterns." Zhu Yijun said.

"The empress did it herself?" Empress Dowager Chen said, Aiyo, why didn't this child say in advance? Otherwise, it would be awkward if the empress didn't pick who to use as the judge for the lanterns.

"Your son is afraid that your son's participation in the selection will be unfair to your last wife, because your son will definitely go with Your Majesty first. Your mother said that your son is going to make some kind of lamp for Your Majesty, Your mother, and your mother will vote for your son." Wang Rong smiled and said, "If it's a year and I win, then the enthusiasm of the concubines will be greatly reduced."

"I see that there are a lot of lights this year, and I think it's because of you." Empress Dowager Li said. At that time, I thought the lamp that His Majesty brought back was made by the Beauty Wang. "

While speaking, eunuch led the Jade Beauty and Beauty Wang up the stairs. Wang Rong said, "I and Beauty Wang are used to being lanterns every year, especially when the lanterns of Beauty Wang are ranked first in the world every year. This time's selection as the winner is also within my expectations. "

"Then guess which lamp was made by the Beauty Wang?" Empress Dowager Li asked.

"I guess it was the lamp in the plum bottle." Wang Rong said with a smile. I don't know if it's because of the telepathy between sisters, but the lamps we make every year is always the same. "

"We now know which lamp was made by Zitong." Zhu Yijun was originally hesitating between the two lanterns, he didn't know who to choose.

"Zhang Cheng, send that lamp to the Qianqing Palace." Zhu Yijun pointed to the lamp downstairs. That was a bonsai lamp, a round moon lamp, with a tree branch in the middle, and two people leaning against each other under the tree.

"If not for this lamp, the lamp will be given to the Duke Yongnian Palace tomorrow along with the empress's lamp." Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Rong and said. There was a large room full of people, and they were all whispering words that only the two of them knew. It was a small atmosphere that separated people from each other and belonged to the same person.

"What about the other one?" The Empress Dowager Chen asked, "Who made this lotus flower lamp."

The Imperial Lower Consort Lan stood up from the back. "A concubine doesn't know how to be one. She only knows how to make lanterns, it's so funny."

"Both His Majesty and the empress are praising you. How can you be so generous?" Empress Dowager Li said, and then she could not help but say with emotion, "All pregnant people have good auras." This lotus flower lamp was the ugliest of the lot, yet the empress had said it was real, so His Majesty chose it as his victory.

"The consorts were terrified." The Imperial Lower Consort Lan said, "The concubines will definitely train their skills. They will strive to not be so simple and crude next year."

"The peony fairy lamp is made by a jade beauty, the plum bottle lamp is made by the Beauty Wang." Palace Manager Cui said.

"The empress has guessed it." The Empress Dowager Chen laughed, "But the empress cheated?" Empress Dowager Chen joked.

"This is the first time I've seen such a thing." Wang Rong He said, "If Imperial Mother wants me to cheat, then Imperial Mother must reward me with a portion of the rewards. Otherwise, wouldn't this act of cheating be in vain?"

"How can you lose this tiny bit of reward from This Dowager?" Empress Dowager Chen laughed and said, "Tomorrow, come to This Dowager's warehouse and choose the one you like."

When Empress Dowager Li saw Empress Dowager Chen and the Empress interacting with each other as if they were in-laws, for some reason, a wave of frustration rose in her heart and she said stiffly. You Sheng has also been chosen. This Dowager felt that her strength was lacking and thus, she decided to head back to the palace. "

"Do you want Imperial Physician Xuan?" Wang Rong He asked with concern.

"No need." Empress Dowager Li said, "It's the sickness of an old person."

Empress Dowager Li was born eighteen years old and her age was only around thirty, but if she were to say that she was old, there was nothing she could do. Wang Rong smiled embarrassedly. When she thought back to when she was thirty and wondered if she was going to call herself an old woman, she felt a little depressed. She was obviously a mature woman, a beautiful woman at her most beautiful age.

Since the Empress Dowager Li said this, the Empress Dowager Chen was naturally tired as well. After the empress dowager left, Wang Rong said with a smile, "The three of you are waiting for tomorrow's victory reward. That would be a great surprise."

After the empress dowager left, other concubines came up to pay their respects. They were all happy to see His Majesty off. She quietly went to the back. Behind her was the same wooden window as before. Wang Rong and Pushing it open, a cold wind blew in, causing the phoenix hairpin on her crown to let out clinking sounds.

The pavilion was very close to the Divine Martial Gate. From the tall building, one could see the moat and the lights of thousands of families. Today was the previous era, and the lights in the city were still burning.

"Empress, it's cold." Wuyou advised Wang Rong and the others to turn off the lights.

"Wuyou, which lamp in there do you think is my home's lamp?" Wang Rong asked.

"Empress forgot, the Duke Yongnian Palace has another mansion, it is no longer in this direction." Wuyou said.

"Yeah." Wang Rong sighed.

However, what she did not know was that Wang Wei and his family had been drinking for three rounds in the Residence of An Yue. Wang Yaliang regretfully said, "To the end, I did not have a single lamp made personally by my younger sister."

"Look at how pitiful your words are." Wang Houde said, "Go pick one of mine." His sister made the most lamps.

"No." Wang Yaliang said. A completely different meaning. "

"Ahh, last year was the most unfortunate. If it wasn't for the fact that the kidnapper didn't come at the right time, I would have had a light." Wang Yaliang said.

"If it wasn't for the kidnapper, would you have gone to snatch the light from His Majesty?" said the King. " "Speaking of which, that lamp is also a matchmaker between your sister and your majesty."
