Hidden golden branches

Therefore, if life is comfortable and official career is smooth, why should the courtiers have trouble with themselves and the emperor?

For example, what about such a thankless task as accusing the emperor of favoring the imperial concubine alone?

Unless your brain is flooded!

Like the silly son raised by Sun Qingwu, the emperor gave him such a good opportunity to turn around the Sun family and gave him such a good future as Sun Yi.

Tsk, tsk, Sun Yi’s pig brain has fooled me!

Needless to say, most of the courtiers had no objection to Xiao Xuan's new policy that favored the common people at the bottom, and even if they had objections, they would think twice before taking action.

Of course Chen Wanru also agreed and supported him.

After having dinner early today, Xiao Xuan took her out.

At this moment, both of them were in Xiao Xuan's private house. This private house was close to the palace, and when you opened the window, you could see the wide square in front of the palace gate.

Chen Wanru was lying on the window sill with great joy, watching the people enjoying themselves below. She was also thinking about whether to ask a court painter to depict these scenes to comfort the ancestors of the Wei family with the splendor of the prosperous age.

Xiao Xuan took Chen Wanru into his arms, and his voice was low and magnetic: "Ru'er, look over there, tonight's fireworks and lantern show is about to begin. The first fireworks in the entire Imperial City on Chinese Valentine's Day this year was set off by me. It’s for you to see.”

When Xiao Xuan finished speaking, he heard a loud "whoosh" sound, and suddenly a firework shot straight into the sky in the square in front of the palace gate. When it flew into the sky, it suddenly bloomed, and the fireworks stars were layered like a waterfall. When it was set off, a firework actually exploded three times, even taking away the brightness of the bright moon at its most brilliant moment.

The colors are Wei Zi, Yao yellow and Zheng red respectively, and the shape is a huge peony flower.

The whole city was shocked.

They all knew that these were fireworks set off by the emperor for his favorite concubine, the imperial concubine, and thought that the emperor and the imperial concubine were watching them in the gardens of Minghua Hall or Xuanzheng Hall, or standing hand in hand on the palace tower.

But who would have thought that the emperor and the imperial concubine were admiring this spectacular scene with them in a high-rise building on the street not far from them.

Xiao Xuan changed into a dark gold robe, with dragon-patterned jade buttons on the cuffs, five treasures and auspicious cloud patterns on the bottom, and a jade crown on his head. His face was calm and his temperament was calm.

Chen Wanru is wearing a royal blue cross-collar palace dress with auspicious cloud patterns, which makes her gentle and virtuous. She wears a five-phoenix and rising sun hairpin on her bun, which is luxurious and elegant.

Chen Wanru looked up at the brilliant fireworks in the sky, her face flushed brightly, enjoying the warmth of the tall and strong arms behind her, and said gratefully: "The fireworks are so beautiful today, thank you Sanlang." The voice was like the oriole coming out of the valley, the kite coming out of the valley. The cry of the phoenix is ​​clear but gentle and gentle.

Xiao Xuan lowered his eyes and looked at her water-washed eyes, his heart as soft as ever.

After all these years, Xiao Xuan still doesn't seem to love her enough.

He placed a loving kiss on her forehead and said in a hoarse voice: "Ruer, there is no need to say 'thank you' to Sanlang."

"Well, Ru'er knows."

It has been more than ten years since Chen Wanru entered the palace. If Xiao Xuan had not treated her wholeheartedly, she would have been sidelined by the officials of the previous dynasty with some ancestral regulations. How could she still be favored today?

At the court this morning, Xiao Xuan read out to Yuan Fu the edict drafted earlier by his disciple Zhongshu to establish Xiao Jinrui, the fifth son of the emperor, as the crown prince.

Although the courtiers had heard about this move for a long time, they were still shocked.

But, it went smoothly.

No one who is short-sighted dares to speak in front of the emperor.

The queen has nothing to do, and the highest-ranking concubine in the palace is the imperial concubine, who is just a little lower than the queen.

Her biological son will of course be established as the prince, there is no doubt about it.

Even the maternal uncle of the emperor's eldest son Xiao Jinyu, Zhongyinghou Tongzhengsi Jiang Bacheng, had nothing to say.

Chen Wanru, who knew this well, was inexplicably grateful when she saw this.

At this time, Chen Rong was taken to a higher area by his elder brother to better watch the fireworks.

Because this is the best place to watch the fireworks, people are crowding here.

Yu Zhu and Chen Zhao were guarding Chen Rong in the middle. Chen Rong was very excited, his mouth formed an O shape, and he stared at the bright fireworks in the sky.

She raised her little face and was looking excited. Suddenly she felt that the aura of Yuzhu guarding her was wrong. She felt that she was enveloped in a tall and clear aura. She turned her little head and took a look, huh? Where is Yuzhu here? The person holding an arm out to block the crowd behind him turned out to be Ji Yuxian.

"Ji, why are you, Brother Ji?" Chen Rong asked in surprise.

The young man beside him has haircut like a knife, eyebrows like ink paintings, and thicker eyelashes than an ordinary woman. He is wearing a wide-sleeved, soap-edged blouse with a jade belt hanging from his waist. He has a long body and is full of nobility, which perfectly matches his image. combine.

Hey, why was I so blind in the first place, so I let that beautiful man go without chasing him, and instead I blindly chased that lousy, heartless man!

However, even Sun Yi despised her, and she was not what she expected from this humble gentleman and number one scholar.

Come on, the man beside you can only watch from a distance, not think about it.

After Sun Yi broke off the engagement, Chen Rong had lost confidence in herself.

Ji Yuxian looked calm: "Rongrong, what a coincidence."

He heard the news from Chen Zhao today that he would take his sister out to relax and watch the lanterns and fireworks in the evening.

So, after finishing dinner early, he hurriedly went out and waited in front of Chen's house, hoping for a chance encounter.

Otherwise, waiting to find someone on Yuqian Street would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Who knows, when he arrived, it was still a step too late. All four members of the Chen family had already gone out.

He had to go to Yuqian Street to try his luck, huh? Unexpectedly, I saw the little girl standing on a high platform from a distance, looking up at the fireworks with her little head excitedly!

When Chen Rong heard Ji Yuxian calling her, she looked back and smiled.

A graceful girl, the years are carefree. With this smile, the rays of light also ripple.

Ji Yuxian's breath was slightly suffocated, and now he realized how intoxicating the words "smiling like a flower" were.

At this moment, I was leaning close to the little girl in front of me who I was thinking about. My breath was filled with the unique and faint fragrance of the little girl, and I felt extremely comforted.

After the fireworks ended, they walked and stopped and bought many small things from small vendors. Ji Yuxian was actually quite patient and even helped carry the things.

"If I had known that I would buy so many things, I should have brought some maids with me when I went out, and I would have bothered Brother Ji to carry it like this." Chen Rong raised his little head with a look of shame and said to Ji Yuxian who was carrying something in his hand.

Oh my god, Ji Woo-hyun must have been transformed into a goblin. He looks so good when viewed horizontally or vertically.

Chen Zhao glanced at Ji Yuxian and thought to himself: Why are you thanking him? I'm afraid he is eager to help you, sister, carry your things.

Today, because this person is Ji Yuxian, Chen Zhao just opens his eyes and lets him please his sister.

The most important thing is to hope that my sister can come out of the shadow of Sun Yi breaking off the engagement.

Xiao Xuan: Ruer, these are the fireworks I specially prepared for you.

Chen Wanru: Thank you, Sanlang.

Chen Rong: Oh, why is Ji Yuxian so good-looking?

Chen Zhao: You are young, so you can make Sun Dan, a scumbag, a treasure. In fact, how could he be inferior to Ji Yuxian and Haifa?

Xiaozi: Yes!
