Chapter 1289 [July 11] The Emperor Is Interested
Usually there is any banquet in the palace, which is enough to make them excited for several days.
Therefore, the Lantern Festival of the Shangyuan Festival is like a big party for them.
Putting up a lantern is more exciting than going to a bar to dance disco.
After a while, Ruoyin took everyone in the harem to an artificial lake on the left side of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Ruoyin is the queen, and the servants under her had already arranged the corresponding things when she was about to move.
The servants first handed the lotus lantern to Banmei beside her, and then handed her pen and ink.
Then, they distributed these tools to the remaining concubines in turn according to their positions.
Ruoyin took the pen, ink and lantern, and wrote a few lines of wishes on the lotus lantern without hesitation.
Suddenly, the voices of the rest of the concubines and palace maids came from beside my ears.
"Master, don't worry, your wish will definitely come true."
Ruoyin turned his head to look, and saw that the person who said this was a little maid next to Concubine Wan.
This made her involuntarily look at Concubine Wan more.
I saw Concubine Wan wearing a lilac purple auspicious dress, carefully covering the lotus lantern, as if she was afraid that others would see her wish.
At the same time, she secretly turned her head to look the other way.
Ruoyin followed Concubine Wan's gaze and found that Concubine Wan was looking at the Hall of Mental Cultivation where Fourth Master was.
Not only that, it seemed that all the concubines were staring at the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Moreover, when they wrote their wishes on the lanterns, they looked forward to it.
At this moment, Ruoyin seemed to be able to guess what their wish was.
It's rare for concubines in the harem to see fourth master once a month.
So, for today's palace lantern festival, they all dressed up beautifully.
Although at the Lantern Festival, fourth master might not even take a look at them.
But they dress up so that the superior man will notice them.
Even now, while they are putting on lanterns, they are thinking about the man in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Seeing this scene, Ruoyin couldn't help but look down at his attire, and then added a few words to the lotus lantern.
After finishing writing, she walked to the steps by the lake and placed the lotus lantern with the wish in her hand on the lake.
After Ruoyin put the lotus lanterns in place, the rest of the concubines followed suit.
Not long after, all the lanterns were put into the lake.
At a glance, it looks like countless lamp shadows floating on the lake.
In the moonlight, the lake reflects resplendent palaces, golden glazed tiles, and lanterns hanging all over the Forbidden City, all shining brilliantly.
It's hard to tell which is the light from the reflection and which is the light from the lantern.
Suddenly a gust of evening wind blew, and the surface of the lake undulated with a layer of slight ripples, and those gathered lanterns also ran in different directions.
After the wind stopped, the lake became calm again.
It's just a few lanterns floating here and there.
To be precise, it is not a lantern, but a cradle that carries the dreams of the women in the harem.
After the lanterns were set off, Ruoyin only stayed by the lake for a cup of tea before dismissing the concubines from the harem and returning to Yongshou Palace.
At the same time, Fourth Master returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation in a dragon chariot.
Because when he left Qianqing Palace, he didn't come back immediately.
Instead, he first went to Kunning Palace to worship the ancestors, and then returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
At this moment, he was sitting on a dragon chariot carried by twenty-eight people.
The man leaned against the back of the chair, filling the whole dragon chair.
His eyes seemed to be looking straight ahead lazily, but there was a hint of hidden sharpness.
The right hand rests on the armrest, while the left hand carelessly twirls the ghost face beads.
This sitting posture makes him look powerful, full of confidence and charm unique to successful men.
At this moment, his eyes swept to the lake on the left side of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and found scattered lights floating on it.
Suddenly, those lazy eyes tightened suddenly.
Su Peisheng was very eye-catching. He didn't wait for the fourth master to ask a question, so he made a fool of He Zhongkang and sent him to ask a question.
After all, they just came back, and it is not clear what happened.
You know, apart from the imperial garden being the emperor's minefield, concubines and concubines in the harem dare not set foot in it easily.
There is another point, that is, the emperor doesn't like the harem concubines to run to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, even around the Hall of Mental Cultivation!
But now, there are so many lanterns floating on the lake of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
As far as he knew, it was absolutely impossible to be a court lady.
Because the court ladies dare not be so bold.
Even if there are one or two who are ignorant and not afraid of death, those guards will stop them when they see them.
Then, the one who can make the guards dare not stop him is probably the mistress of the harem.
Hmph, he wants to see which young master of the harem who is not afraid of death is doing things here.
Look at the emperor's golden eyes that don't see through her petty thoughts of fighting for favor!
After a while, He Zhongkang trotted back, walked up to Su Peisheng and whispered a few words.
At this moment, fourth master turned his head slightly, and glanced at Su Peisheng from the corner of his eye.
Then, Su Peisheng said very clearly: "Your Majesty, I heard that after the Lantern Festival, the Empress took all the young masters of the harem to put lanterns in the lake of the Hall of Mental Cultivation."
Just now I thought it was someone who was not afraid of death, but it turned out that it was the queen who was not afraid of death, so I guess it would be fine.
Sure enough, fourth master raised his eyebrows, and said indifferently: "I remember that the purpose of setting up lanterns is to make a wish?"
"Yes." Su Peisheng replied.
"What kind of wishes do you usually make?"
"Oh my majesty, don't bully this slave. How can a slave know what a lady is thinking." Su Peisheng groaned.
He couldn't figure out what women were thinking.
Not to mention women, he doesn't understand the minds of men either.
With only one emperor, he was exhausted enough!
At this moment, Su Peisheng met fourth master's faint eyes.
That look seemed to blame him for his lack of vision.
After Su Peisheng was stunned for a while, he immediately winked at He Zhongkang.
He Zhongkang didn't understand the mystery for a while, so he had to stand still and think.
Fourth Master looked at Su Peisheng impatiently.
Su Peisheng continued to wink at He Zhongkang.
In the end, Su Peisheng simply said sharply: "What are you still standing in a daze for? Hurry up and get the lantern."
"Huh? How much do you get?"
"Of course... catch all of them!" The others didn't know what the emperor wanted to see.
But he knew that the emperor appointed to see what wish the empress made.
Because, the emperor has never been interested in such mother-in-law matters.
There is only one thing, when the empress is involved, everything will be different.
Don't look at the emperor's appearance, but he knows that the emperor is interested.
But it's not easy for him to figure out the emperor's thoughts clearly in front of everyone.
It's not easy to be the chief eunuch. If you don't figure it out, the position of chief executive will not be guaranteed.
If you figure it out too clearly, if you know too much, your life will be in danger.
