wedding dress

Chapter 98
Xiaodong frowned for a long time, shook his head and said, "I can't guess."

Zhao Zhi was overwhelmed with joy: "Hey, let me just say, the lantern riddles I made will definitely stump everyone. By the way, where is your lantern?"

Xiaodong took out the glazed lamp that Qin Lie made for her, and Zhao Zhi praised, "It's not the craftsmanship of those craftsmen at first glance, where did you get it?"

"My cousin Qin made it for me."

"I really didn't realize that he still has this ability." Zhao Zhi looked at her lamp, "I'm too common, and the leader of the lamp will definitely not get it. The empress dowager is rarely happy this year, saying that the leader of the lamp has a big reward. "

"I'm neither elegant nor luxurious, and I'm probably hopeless."

But Xiaodong likes this one the most, even the white jade pavilion octagonal lantern that Wang An showed her, she still thinks it is not as good as this one.Wang An's lamp was too expensive to be lit.

"When shall we enter the palace?"

Xiaodong thought for a while: "Well, I'm going to Wufu Palace to receive the banquet, and then to Wangxian Tower to watch the lanterns... Let me figure it out, it won't be too late to go after noon."

"Yes, don't go so early, it's noisy everywhere, and it's easy to cause trouble when there are too many people." Zhao Zhi still remembered that the New Year's Eve feast was not good, the tea could not be continued, and someone stepped on her skirt. The golden gauze drape was stained with oil, and it was useless.After going back, her mother felt sorry for things and gave her a good meal.

Zhao Zhi was not wrong at all, when it came to the festival, the palace was extremely lively and hectic.The number of manpower did not increase, but the number of jobs increased several times. In the cold weather, the palace people were so busy that their faces were covered with oil and sweat, and they didn't even bother to stop to wipe it off.

The sixth princess brought a gauze lantern with colorful clouds chasing the moon, and the seventh princess only had an ordinary rabbit lantern.The lamps brought by others are also exquisite and interesting, and there is no duplicate.After a tasteless palace banquet, the group headed to Wangxian Tower to enjoy the lanterns.

There is no scene in the imperial garden in winter, but tonight is different.Those flower trees were tied with silk flowers and paper flowers, and all kinds of lanterns were lit on the ground under the corridor, which illuminated the imperial garden like daytime.The Liuguang Pool lived up to its name tonight. Many small boats rowed slowly across the water, with colorful lights hanging on them, and kabukis in colorful clothes stood on the boats and danced, making various graceful gestures.The qin masters and singers downstairs of Wangxian Tower embraced their musical instruments, first played a prosperous Taiping song, and then played a Que Yingchun ode.

Zhao Zhi approached Xiaodong: "What are you thinking about?"

"Well, I'm thinking about it. You really have to look at the lights where there is water."

Thousands of lights are reflected in the streamer pool. I remember that there is a que that reads, "Eastern wind puts flowers and thousands of trees at night, and it blows down, and the stars are like rain."There is also "the sound of the wind howling, the light of the jade pot turning, and the dance of fish and dragons all night".Are there thousands of flowers and trees in the imperial garden?On the streamer pool, lights flicker, just like silver fish and golden dragons dancing in groups.

Zhao Zhi looked at it for a while, she couldn't sit still, and ran to the side to play guessing lantern riddles with others, but unfortunately not everyone was as knowledgeable as Xiaodong, and after a while someone guessed a few lantern riddles on her lantern, After writing down the answer to the riddle and showing it to her, Zhao Zhi groaned and took out the silver beads like cutting flesh, but the golden beans held their hands and refused to give them.

After all, there was wind in Wangxian Building, Xiaodong felt a little chilly, and moved inward.The Empress Dowager Shengci and the emperor were sitting on the central balcony. The emperor was smiling, pointing to a scene below and whispering to the empress dowager.

Xiaodong naturally hoped that the emperor and the Empress Dowager Shengci would be harmonious and close to each other.

She also saw Wang An, standing a little back.Zhao Lu and the third prince stood together.These are in bright places, slightly dark places, far away, and the night is heavy, so they can't see clearly.

The Seventh Princess came out of nowhere, and ran to Xiaodong's side again.I probably asked her for things a few times and remembered her firmly.

Xiaodong really felt pity for this little girl in his heart, and waved to her: "Seventh sister sit here."

Princess Seven obediently sat down next to her, and Xiaodong took a few pieces of walnut cake from the plate in front of her and handed them to her: "Do you want to eat?"

Seventh Princess took it and stuffed a piece into her mouth, her cheeks were immediately bulged out.

She stared at the lamp in Xiaodong's hand for a while, then stretched out her hand to touch it, as if she was afraid of being burned by the candle flame, as soon as she touched the colored glaze on it, she retracted quickly.

"This is not hot."

Princess Seven looked up at her, then reached out to touch her again.Fingertips slid along the patterns carved on the bamboo, and the faces got closer and closer.The light from the lantern shined through, and faint yellowish light was imprinted on her face, making her snow-white and pink face even more beautiful.

Xiaodong pointed it out to her: "This is plum blossom, this is bamboo leaf, and this is pine. Together they are called the three friends of Suihan. Plum blossom blooms in the middle of winter, while bamboo and pine and cypress are evergreen all year round. They are not afraid of severe frost and thrive. .”

Seventh Princess probably understood, looked at Xiaodong, and suddenly pressed her cheek into her palm.

Xiaodong was slightly surprised, only felt that her little face was pink and soft, probably because of the cool wind from the high building, so her face was cold.

A palace official came over and saluted and said, "Princess, the Empress Dowager invites you to come over."

Xiaodong nodded in agreement: "Understood."

She stood up and straightened her skirt and skirt, Zhao Zhi glanced this way, Xiaodong made a gesture and mouthed: "I'll go over there."

Zhao Zhi was busy guessing the lantern riddles of others, so she nodded hurriedly to her.

She stroked Princess Seven's hair: "I'll come as soon as I go, you stay here."

Seventh Princess grabbed her sleeves, with a determined look on her little face.

Xiaodong hesitated.

The surrounding clan princesses and princesses are very indifferent to the seventh princess, and the sixth princess who is closer can't be entrusted to her. As for Zhao Zhi, now she's too excited to take care of her.

"Then you come with me."

The palace people hurriedly said: "The empress dowager did not summon the seventh princess... how about..."

"it does not matter."

Except for not speaking, the seventh princess is well-behaved in other aspects, and she doesn't cause trouble. The queen mother will not hate her.

The palace people were still hesitating, Xiaodong said: "Let's go."

From the side pavilion where these female relatives stayed to go to the middle of Wangxian Tower, you have to go around the corridor and pass a flight of stairs. Xiaodong took the hand of Seventh Princess and followed the palace guards who led the way to that side.

After going out, a gust of cold wind hit his face, Xiaodong shivered.Although there are colorful lights everywhere outside, this section of the corridor is obviously much darker.

Seventh Princess held her hand tightly, and the man also snuggled up to her tightly.

Xiaodong asked softly, "Is it cold?"

Seventh Princess didn't say a word.

Xiaodong is also used to her silence.

—should find her another cloak to wear.Such an alternation of heat and cold is the easiest way to catch a cold and get sick.

The maid led the way with a lantern, and said loudly: "It's dark here, princess, be careful where you step."

Seventh Princess was shaking Xiaodong's hand.Xiaodong didn't know whether she was afraid of the cold or the dark, so he comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, walk slowly."

At the corner, the maid in front took a quick step, and suddenly fell sideways with an "ouch".

Xiaodong was taken aback, and asked, "What's wrong?"
