She Doesn’t Want To Work Hard Anymore

  Chapter 197 Lantern Festival

After Yin Chai'er's performance was over, the queen never said anything, her face was always gloomy.

  The emperor noticed this and took the initiative to speak to her.

   "Tonight's performance is very interesting, especially the dance performed by the Huaru people. Looking at the lively, your niece dances well, each has its own merits."

  The queen directly ignored the first half of the emperor's words, and asked along the way.

   "Although Chai'er is not old, she is very sensible and smart. She has always admired your majesty's majesty. I wonder how your majesty feels about her?"

  The emperor immediately understood the empress’s purpose in asking this.

  The queen is planning to let her niece into the palace.

   Soon the emperor remembered what happened just now, and immediately knew why the queen was in a bad mood?

  The emperor smiled, casually.

   "The girl from the Yin family is naturally very good."

  The emperor’s tone was a bit meaningful, and the queen couldn’t tell for a moment whether he said it sincerely or not, so she hesitated and asked.

  "If you like it, why not put her in the harem?"

  The emperor looked at her fixedly.

  The queen was seen a little uncomfortable.

   "Why does your Majesty look at your concubine like this? But did the concubine's words make you unhappy?"

The emperor    smiled again: "How can I be unhappy if you are so considerate of me? Now that you have spoken, then choose a day to let Chai'er come into the palace."

  The purpose of tonight has finally been achieved, and the queen feels a little relieved.

   "I wonder what position your Majesty would give Chai'er?"

  The emperor: "Since she is your niece, her status must not be too low, so let her be a beauty for the time being, and she will be promoted after seeing her clearly."

  Beauty, just a class lower than Jieyu.

  The queen is a little dissatisfied with this position. She thinks that Hua Qingqing can seal a Jieyu when she enters the palace. Why does their Yin family's daughter only have a beauty?

  However, Emperor Jinkou Yuyan said that it is impossible to change what he said.

  The queen can only suppress her dissatisfaction, and smiled.

   "The concubine thanked Chai'er for her gratitude."

  After the moon appreciation banquet was over, the queen deliberately called Yin Chai'er over to speak.

  Yin Chai'er learned from the queen that she was sealed as a beauty, and her hanging heart finally let go.

  Although her dance failed to get the amazing effect as expected, at least the result is pretty good.

  The queen was delighted to see her and reminded in a deep voice.

   "Although this palace allows you to enter the palace, whether you can get the favor of the saint in the end depends on yourself. I hope you will not let this palace and the Yin family down."

  Yin Chai'er hurriedly put away her joy, and solemnly replied: "Chai'er knows."

  When people send away Empress Yin Chai’s son, the queen's mood is always gloomy.

  The big lady who was following her couldn't help asking.

   "The saints have made Girl Chai'er a beauty, how can you still be unhappy?"

  Queen replied casually: “I’m not unhappy in this palace.”

  She just feels uncomfortable.

  She is a queen, she seems to be the mother of the world, whoever sees her must be respectful.

  But all this is just appearance.

  Her only son died, but the emperor was unwilling to give her justice. Her parents and family only thought about the future of the family. In order to stabilize their position, they even sent her niece into the palace to fight for favor.

  Father and mother said to her that as long as Chai'er can become pregnant, regardless of whether she gives birth to a man or a woman, she can be raised in her name.

  In this way, she will be counted as a reliance in the future, so she won't be old and helpless.

  They never thought that her son had just died and the bones were still cold. Before she could fully digest the sadness in her heart, she had to find a way to send her niece to the emperor’s bed. How uncomfortable she should be?

  ……

After Hua Manman and Li Ji left the palace, they took a carriage detour to Changle Street.

  There is a lantern festival on Changle Street tonight. Lanterns are hung everywhere. At first glance, they seem to have entered a long river of lanterns.

  Under the light of the lights, the entire Changle Street is bright as day.

  The shops along the street are still open, and there are people coming and going on the street, which is so lively.

  Hua Manman was quickly attracted by the shadow puppets on the street.

  She leaned over, squeezed between a group of children, watched the shadow puppet show on the stage with relish, and clapped her hands from time to time.

  Li Ji stood behind her and saw her making a fuss like a child.

  She looked at the shadow puppet show, and he looked at her.

  Wait until the end of a shadow puppet show, a middle-aged woman holding a basin came to the audience to ask for a reward.

  Hua Manman immediately turned around and went to Zhaowang to ask for money.

  The reason she gave was very fair.

  "You are the concubine's husband, shouldn't your money be spent on your concubine? Otherwise, who else do you want to spend your money on?"

  Li Ji laughed.

  This woman only remembers that he is her husband when she asks for money.

  On weekdays, she scolded him every word in her heart.

  Li Ji threw her pocketbook to her.

  Flower Manman took out a small piece of broken silver from her purse and threw it into the basin.

  Others give coppers, but she only gives silver.

  Even if the piece of silver is only the size of a fingernail, it still surprises the woman.

  She hurriedly bent over and thanked her.

  Hua Manman took Zhao Wang to go elsewhere.

  This is the first time she has seen an ancient lantern festival, and she must have a good time to play!

  How can you guess the riddles when you come to the Lantern Fair?

  Many shops selling lanterns have activities for guessing lantern riddles. As long as you can solve the lantern on the flowering lantern, you can get the lantern for free.

  This is a special program of the Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival, held every year.

  Someone happened to be guessing lantern riddles, and many spectators gathered around, and Hua Manman curiously leaned over to watch.

  It is two young people who are guessing lantern riddles. It must be rich or expensive to look at their dresses.

  They seem to be very good at guessing lantern riddles. They have guessed a lot of lantern riddles, and they almost won all the lanterns from this shop.

The boss of the shop was almost crying.

  But he knew that these two guests were not ordinary people. He didn't dare to chase them, so he could only stand beside him bitterly, watching his lanterns be taken away one by one.

  The crowd onlookers could not realize the sadness of the shop owner. They only thought that the two young men were very powerful, and they kept clapping their hands in applause.

  Almost all the lanterns in the shop were swept away before the two young men gave up.

  They asked the minions to take away all the lanterns.

When    turned around, they happened to see Zhaowang and Huamanman who were standing at the door and wondering how long they had been watching.

  The expressions of the two of them froze slightly.

  They seem to want to pretend they don’t know each other, but they think it’s too blunt.

  Hesitated again and again, the two of them finally bit the bullet and stepped forward and greeted Zhaowang with a smile.

   "His Royal Highness, it’s been a long time since I saw you. I didn’t expect to meet you here."

  Li Ji's reaction was cold: "I happened to be passing by."

  "Then, then you continue to stroll, we will leave first, and we will meet again someday."

  The two people left quickly after speaking.

  Looking at their violent looks, they looked like a tiger chasing them behind their buttocks.
