Golden branches and jade leaves

Chapter 147 The Flower Blooms on the Outer Street ([-])

Blossoms on the Moshang ([-])

In a blink of an eye, autumn is coming to the east, and it is already the end of the year.

It's a pity that we are all young girls who left home for the first time. The Queen Mother gave us a decree this time, allowing us to go home and reunite with our families for the New Year.

I returned home happily, and my father was busy reorganizing the new army outside the city, and my mother was the only one at home.

Obviously it is already a scene I am used to, but for some reason, I can't help but feel a faint melancholy in the deepest part of my heart.

In the future, will my him make me stay alone in the vacant room like this every day, and can only face the window melancholy, looking forward to his return in the long loneliness?
Father finally returned home before the New Year's Eve, and hurried to meet Mr. Ge who came to visit.

I don't know what the two of them talked about, but it can be imagined that it must be a serious and confidential military matter.

After Mr. Ge left, my father asked me about the situation of the queen mother. I didn't know how to answer, so I had to tell him according to my intuition.

After that, he sat alone in the study for a long, long time...

It was so long that my mother and I began to worry, and then he finally left the study with infinite fatigue, with a strange expression on his face, as if he had let go of some heavy burden, and seemed to have lost his most precious and most treasured……

On the second day, he took out a letter and told someone close to him to send it out of the house.Although I noticed this move inadvertently, I never dared to interfere with my father's official business.

After that is the New Year's Eve, and the brand new Seventh Year of Yongchang has arrived.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

After the new year and the first month, I went back to the palace again.

The palace was also filled with the joyous atmosphere that just finished the New Year.

Not long after returning to the palace, the Shangyuan Festival was ushered in. In fact, this should not be regarded as the Shangyuan Festival.

After all, Emperor Cheng died on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so the whole country needs to mourn.But the queen mother said that when doing things in the palace, the first thing is not to disturb the people.Celebrations like the Shangyuan Festival should not be cancelled, so the festival was temporarily postponed for one month to February [-]th.

Still festive lanterns and fireworks, beaming.On such a day, all the eunuchs and maids in the palace, including us female officials, are also relaxed and happy.

On this day, Xue'e and the others came to look for me, and we agreed to make lanterns and set off fireworks together.

They haven't been close to me for a long time. Since they made such a big mess on the first night of entering the palace, although they treat me the same on the surface, they are often in corners that I don't notice Talking about something in a low voice, I can naturally notice it after a long time.

Only the friendship between Xue'e and me remains the same as before.

This time they are willing to ask me to go with them, and I am also very happy.

It is said that hanging the lanterns made by oneself on the tree can guarantee good luck in the coming year.

There are many kinds of lanterns, such as fish-shaped lanterns, bat-patterned lanterns, jade rabbit lanterns... There is also a more complicated and exquisite Jinyumantang, Zimu Dashun...

It's a pity that my craftsmanship is not good, and I can barely make a lantern in the most common style, but it also condenses all my heart.

On the fifteenth day of February,
Taking advantage of the moonlight, we ran into the Tianxiang Garden in groups, chose our favorite trees, and hung up our carefully crafted lanterns.

There are fiery trees and silver flowers all over the place, a grand scene of thousands of lights shining.

I looked around happily, looking for a tree I liked.

Compared to other girls who needed the eunuch to hang the lanterns for them, I, who knew a little martial arts, climbed the ladder and climbed the tree myself.

Seeing my actions, Xue'e couldn't help raising her voice to stop her: "It's too dangerous, my sister just hand over the lantern to the little eunuch to hang up..."

How can I control these things in the midst of joy, and it's just a tree. "Sister, don't worry, I'll be fine soon." I interrupted her and quickly climbed to the top of the tree.

I want to hang my one-year wishes on the tree with my own hands, hanging high on the ground, hoping that the wishes contained in it can be sent to the ears of the gods by the wind passing through the treetops and the moon shining through the clouds...

After I tied the lantern to the top of the tree, I took out the flint from my pocket, lit it, and reached in to light the candle inside.

I was lighting candles, but I heard someone shouting from below: "The emperor is here!"

I looked back, and it turned out to be that bright yellow figure walking towards me.

The girls below were like a flock of frightened birds, and they scatter in a huff. The flint in my hand was still on the lantern. It is said that it would be unlucky to be interrupted like this.

Especially this lantern has two of my most important wishes on it.

By the time I lit the lantern in a hurry, he had already walked behind me.

He raised his head from under the tree and shouted at me unceremoniously: "Hey, are you the manners that a noble lady should have? You actually climbed up the tree in broad daylight."

I couldn't help curling my lips. Did an emperor yell at the female officer?Besides, it's night now, so how can there be broad daylight?
But climbing on the emperor's head like this is also a crime of disrespect. Although the queen mother is lenient, and he is not a person who cares about everything, it is still inappropriate.

I was about to come down from the tree to apologize in accordance with the etiquette, but suddenly I heard a strange "russling" sound from the lantern in front of me.

When I turned around, I saw the candles inside the lantern burst out with sparks, and they burned bigger and bigger.

Countless thoughts flashed through my shocked mind, and I wanted to dodge it, but by some coincidence, I didn't move in the end.

There was a "crack" explosion, and the lantern exploded suddenly. I closed my eyes suddenly, waiting for the pain from the hot sparks hitting my face.

But what was waiting was not the expected pain, but a gust of wind whistling against his cheek.

After a while, without feeling the pain in my side face, I finally opened my eyes cautiously, and saw that the dangerous lantern was no longer there.

I lowered my head, and saw the side of the tree, standing an inner eunuch served by the chief supervisor, with gentle brows and a calm demeanor, with a few old wounds faintly on his face.

I recognized that it was the steward Lie next to the queen mother.He was also the one who taught the emperor martial arts and personally protected him.It is said that he is the direct disciple of Zen Master Kuye who has become a god. His martial arts are so impressive that even my father has to admire.

In a daze, I looked up at the branch where the lantern was originally hung. The lantern had already been swept away by his palm.

"Hey, are you okay?" I didn't react from the shock until his voice came from below, and I quickly jumped down from the tree.

After this little commotion, he was naturally not in the mood to watch the lanterns.

Not long after I returned to the palace, someone from the palace came to deliver a message, ordering me to go to Caiwei Palace to answer.

I walked into the gate of Caiwei Palace nervously.

Before entering the room, he heard his voice from inside: "Mother, I'm not in danger. But she was almost disfigured, thanks to Master, he made a timely move. It's not her fault this time, do you want to blame her?" ..."

The eunuch informed me, I entered the room, his words stopped abruptly, and then he turned his head as if he was a little embarrassed, without looking at me.

I have met the Queen Mother according to the etiquette, and I am waiting for the Queen Mother's question.

I thought the Empress Dowager would ask a lot and ask about the details from the beginning to the end, but from the beginning to the end, she only asked one sentence: "Why didn't you avoid it at that time?"

I couldn't help looking up at her in amazement, hesitated for a moment, then lowered my head and said, "Zi Mo...was frightened by the shock at that time, and had no time to escape."

There was silence in the room for a while, but the queen mother smiled, and she said softly: "You have done a good job, and you can not take credit for yourself."

I looked up at her apprehensively.

Could it be that being as smart as her has seen the most secret feelings in my heart?He was right behind me at that time, if I dodged, the sparks that exploded would most likely fall on him.

At that moment, what I thought was not his identity, not my status, but just: If he will be hurt, I would rather be the one who gets hurt.

Under the all-seeing eyes of the Queen Mother, I had nothing to hide, I just felt that my face suddenly became a little hot.

He was still there looking at his mother and me in bewilderment.
