kill the immortal

73 Chapter 72, Mid-Autumn Festival

That night.

The Fuluan Hall was deserted, and there were not many lamps hanging outside, only Tianhou sat on the bed and read a book, quiet and lonely.

Shi Rong walked in with a maid, who was holding a tray in her hand.

"Tianhou, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, let's have a piece of mooncake, this is carefully prepared by the royal chefs..."

"Put it there." Tianhou interrupted her.

Shi Rong had no choice but to put the exquisite mooncakes on the plate on the shore as promised, and then refilled a cup of tea for Tianhou.

Listening to the sound of water, Tianhou looked sideways at the moonlight outside the window, and asked, "Is there someone from below delivering something?"

"His Royal Highness Princess and King Su have prepared presents for Tianhou, and sent them from Chang'an."

While talking, Shi Rong paid attention to Tianhou's face, and then took out a booklet from the maid's tray.

"Feng Pavilion Shi Yu Jingtang sent..."

"Don't read it, just take it all over."

Shi Rong immediately put down the brochure, turned around and left the palace gate.

Tianhou put down the book in her hand, and the hall returned to silence.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, Luoyang City will lift the curfew, and the people will celebrate this festival together, enjoy the lantern show, watch fireworks, and release sky lanterns...

Just thinking about it makes me feel very lively.

Not long after, Shi Rong led a group of maids into the hall again. These maids each carried some gifts and placed them in the center of the hall.

Without asking Shi Rong to introduce, Tianhou got up and came to the pile of gifts, and began to look at them carefully.

These were all given to her by the courtiers, each of which has been exhausted, and each piece is a treasure.

Tianhou took out an exquisite wooden box, opened it, and found a lake pen lying quietly inside.

"Did it come from Yu Jingtang?" she asked.

Shi Rong bowed and replied, "Yes."

She put the wooden box back, rummaged through it casually, found a brush, and couldn't help snorting: "What do they mean?"

Shi Rong could tell at a glance that it was sent by Wen Ren Yunjian, the minister of rites, and she had already memorized the list of gifts by heart.

Tianhou put the brush washer back again, carefully looked at the pile of presents for a long time, opened the presents one by one, took a glance at the gift book, and suddenly threw it on the ground in agitation.

"Take it, take it all!"

Shi Rong quickly winked at the maid, and now the pile of gifts that everyone had worked so hard to move had to be moved out again.

Tianhou sat back on the couch, stroked her forehead with one hand, her hair fell down.

"The Queen of Heaven..."

Shi Rong was also thinking about why Tianhou suddenly became angry. Is it because she didn't receive the gift she wanted, or because someone didn't give it?

She was thinking about whether to call some opera troupes and musicians for Tianhou to amuse herself.

"Pass the decree." Tianhou suddenly said at this moment.

"Go to Xuan... Living Lang Anyan, come to me."

Shi Rong couldn't help being startled, and then quickly took orders.

After walking out of the Fuluan Palace, I saw that the maids were carrying gifts back just now, and someone accidentally dropped a large gift box on the ground.

Shi Rongxiu frowned, and walked over: "What's going on?"

She checked the contents of the gift box and was relieved to see that there was no damage.

The maid glanced left and right, but complained: "Mother, my daughter didn't do it on purpose."

"Be careful, if something breaks, you will lose your life!" Shi Rong reprimanded.

But the maid said: "It's the Mid-Autumn Festival, but Tianhou's place is like a cold palace, and it's not exciting. Who spoiled her interest?"

Shi Rong looked at the rather attractive teenager girl in front of her, and suddenly slapped her across the face.

The girl was stunned for a moment, and when she looked up, she saw Shi Rong looking at her coldly.

She realized something, quickly lowered her head, picked up the gift and walked away quickly.

An Yan was accompanying Wenren Jinping and Huanxi to admire the lanterns in the bustling street, standing at the bridge, watching the sky lanterns rising in the distance.

"Husband, let's go and light the lanterns too!" Wenren Jinping said enthusiastically, pointing to the sky.

"Okay." An Yan agreed with a smile.

Then he took the two girls to the open space by the lake, and bought one from a shop selling sky lanterns.

Wenren Jinping borrowed a pen from the shop owner and wrote a congratulatory message on the paper hanging from the sky lantern.

"Husband." Wenren Jinping handed the pen to An Yan.

An Yan glanced at what Wenren Jinping wrote, it was just a few simple words of prayer, An Yan looked up at the moonlight and thought for a while, then picked up a pen and wrote a few words.

"I hope it lasts forever..." Wenren Jinping said softly.

It's just half a sentence, An Yan didn't write anything else, and it's easy to understand.

Wenren Jinping showed a smile on his face, then looked at Huanxi at the side, and asked, "Huanxi, do you want to write?"

Huanxi didn't think about her own business, so An Yan also handed over the pen at this time, she was dazed for a moment and then waved her hand to decline: "I don't need it...I just hope my uncle and miss are well."

"Alright then." An Yan smiled, but didn't force it.

An Yan lit the sky lantern, and the heat carried it slowly into the sky. An Yan also felt emotional for a moment, and took Wenren Jinping into his arms.

Wenren Jinping looked around and saw that there were couples in pairs, so he was relieved that no one was paying attention.

The sudden rush of footsteps broke the peaceful atmosphere, and a Xuanjia guard quickly walked up to the three of them, cupped his hands at An Yan and said, "Master An, the Empress announces you to enter the palace."

An Yan couldn't help being surprised, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"The humble position is unknown, Mr. An, please enter the palace with the humble position."

An Yan, who was disturbed, felt a little displeased, but Wenren Jinping said sensiblely at this time: "Since the Queen of Heaven is destined, Husband, go quickly."

An Yan said to the Xuanjiawei, "I'll change into my official uniform first."

Fuluan Hall.

After An Yan entered the palace, she felt that the atmosphere was weird. It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, but the palace was unusually deserted. In fact, it was almost the same as usual, but the scene outside was full of excitement, which made it seem that something bad happened here. Things are normal.

"What happened to Tianhou?" An Yan asked Shi Rong.

"Tian Hou is in a bad mood, Master An, please be careful." Shi Rong kindly reminded her.

All the ladies in the palace had already been screened out, and when An Yan walked in, she saw only Tianhou lying on her back on the bed, wearing a bright red uniform, with her legs hanging down beside the bed.

An Yan approached, and saw that the exquisite mooncakes on the plate on the short case hadn't been touched.

"Mid-Autumn Festival, why don't you eat mooncakes?" An Yan casually picked up a piece and took a bite, unexpectedly found that it was even tastier than the ones made at home, with the aroma of sweet-scented osmanthus.

Tianhou opened her eyes and looked at the roof, and asked, "What were you doing when I called you?"

"Go shopping with my wife to appreciate the lanterns."

"Did it bother you?"

An Yan thought it was funny when these words came from Tianhou's mouth, but seeing her lying there with neither sad nor happy expression, she thought about it and asked, "What's wrong?"

She said, "Shentu won, he will listen to me."

An Yan frowned slightly, thinking that the queen would tell her about the past again.

"Even if I want to take his authority, he will listen to me."

"After you finish what you want to do, leave everything to Yu Jingtang, and you can do whatever you want." Tianhou continued.

She was a little distracted while speaking, and her eyes seemed to be empty.

"I want to go to Chang'an..."

"..."

An Yan thought for a while and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Tian Hou suddenly sat up and stared at him: "Do you want to accompany me to Chang'an?"

Chang'an?

It is a place for the royal relatives, dignitaries and dignitaries to enjoy and retire.

What did An Yan go there for? What he was going to do was about to start, and he couldn't do without Tianhou.

"Is Luo Yang okay?" He asked back.

Tianhou's expression darkened when she heard the words, and she lay back down again.

"No, nowhere..." she murmured.

An Yan thought to herself, why did the Empress suddenly become sentimental this day? Shouldn't the person sitting in this position be a ruthless and decisive emperor?

No matter how close a courtier is, he is still just a courtier.

Can't live without him?

An Yan doesn't need to experience this feeling, it can be regarded as standing and talking without back pain.

But he doesn't need to be sympathetic to other people's thoughts. He has never been a good person with a kind heart, and the matter is of great importance, let alone softening his heart.

After a moment of silence in the hall, Tianhou stood up from the bed, walked to An Yan, and stretched out her arms to hug him tightly.

The Queen of Heaven looked directly into An Yan's eyes, and the eyes flickered: "I can give you a child, put him under the name of a prince, and become the future emperor."

"Accompany me to Chang'an."
