Not long after, Mo Hua and the two little eunuchs carried a large wooden box down the stairs. Concubine Li and Duan Liangdi followed them, and they quietly left the Country Pavilion through the back door.

When Concubine Jing noticed this scene, she gradually thought about it.

After the performance on the stage came to an end, it was the last part of the evening, and the lanterns were put on.

Because the queen mother was old, she retired early and went back to Changle Palace to rest.

Empress Qin was not the type to join in the fun, and was not very interested in activities such as lanterns. She found a reason and went back to the Jiaofang Palace.

Everyone followed the emperor to the edge of the Royal River.

Some people have already prepared lanterns by the river.

A group of beautifully dressed concubines surrounded the emperor and wanted to ask him to write for their lanterns.

The emperor was in a good mood tonight and was happy to coax these women.

He inscribed the lanterns of the concubines one by one.

Concubine Bai, Liangdi Qin, and Concubine Jing also went to the prince with lanterns and wanted to ask him to help write a few words.

Luo Qinghan: "Can't you write it yourself?"

Concubine Bai said softly, "The words on the concubine's body are not as beautiful as those of His Highness."

Luo Qinghan: "I know that my handwriting is not good-looking, so why don't I practice more often?"

Concubine Bai: "..."

She was so choked that she couldn't answer, and she couldn't help but look a little embarrassed.

She just wanted to take the opportunity to get close to the prince, how could she be taught a lesson?

Is this development a problem? !

Qin Liangdi pursed her lower lip, trying to make herself look more pitiful and harmless: "His Royal Highness, concubine's grandmother is not in good health recently, and concubine wants to put a lantern to pray for her old man's blessing. You are the prince, the words you wrote I will definitely be more blessed by God, can I ask you to help me write a sentence of blessing? I don’t need too many concubines, just one sentence is enough, please.”

Concubine Bai and Concubine Jing couldn't help but look at her with bad eyes.

In order to gain sympathy, this woman actually moved out her grandmother, how shameless!

Qin Liangdi just pretended not to notice the gaze of the two women next to her, she still looked at the prince eagerly, her eyes full of pleading.

With such a beautiful woman standing in front of her, begging herself with such a pitiful gesture, it would be soft-hearted for any man.

It's a pity that she met Luo Qinghan, a big pig's hoof with no emotion.

Luo Qinghan: "Since your grandmother is ill, she should see a doctor. If you put a lantern on it, all the illnesses can be cured, so what do you need a doctor to do?"

Qin Liangdi choked.

She didn't give up, but said helplessly: "My grandmother has seen a doctor at home, but unfortunately my grandmother's illness has not improved, and my concubine is helpless. I can only ask God."

Luo Qinghan: "Then you should go and ask your father to inscribe the lantern for you. The father is the real son of the dragon and the emperor. He has a lot more luck on his body than Gu Gu, and begging him is more effective than begging Gu."

Qin Liangdi said embarrassingly: "There are so many people around Your Majesty, how can the concubine squeeze in?"

Luo Qinghan didn't answer and asked: "That's your business, what does it have to do with Gu?"

Qin Liangdi: "..."

She was extremely aggrieved and wanted to cry a little, but there were people everywhere. If she cried at this time, the prince would only hate her even more, and others would take the opportunity to see her jokes.

She could only take a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the grievance in her heart.

Seeing this, Concubine Bai's originally terrible mood improved a little.

It seems that the prince is not only cold to her, but also to other concubines.

Concubine Jing stopped talking wisely, so as not to be made fun of herself like Concubine Bai and Qin Liangdi.

Luo Qinghan's eyes swept around, and soon found Xiao Xixi's figure by the river.

At this time, Xiao Xixi was squatting by the river, and lowered her head to write on the lantern.

She wrote so carefully that she didn't notice anyone approaching behind her.

Until Luo Qinghan's voice sounded behind her——

"what are you writing?"

Xiao Xixi paused, turned to look at him, and then raised the lantern in his hand: "See for yourself."

Luo Qinghan took the lantern and glanced at it. It was written in dense small characters, and the content was roughly as follows:

Hope the sows in the backyard give birth soon.

Hope the chicks grow up quickly.

Hope the newly planted vegetables will bear fruit soon.

Hope Baoqin can develop more delicacies.

...

Luo Qinghan read all the content, and his face was a little gloomy: "Why is there no content related to solitary?"

Xiao Xixi blinked: "Does His Highness also have a wish? You can pick a lantern and write your wish on it."

Luo Qing said coldly: "You have so many wishes, but none of them are related to loneliness?"

Xiao Xixi thought about it seriously.

"There is still a wish related to you, which is about that mission, but that kind of thing can't be written on the lantern. What if someone sees it?"

Luo Qinghan: "Apart from that matter, do you have no other wish to make Gu complete?"

Xiao Xixi thought about it again: "I want to go to the night market with you again, is this a wish?"

Luo Qinghan squeezed a word from between his teeth.

"Calculate."

The woman thought about it for a long time, but she only thought of going to the night market with him.

Don't think he doesn't know, she just wants to go to the night market to eat, not to date him at all!

Luo Qinghan put the lantern back into Xiao Xixi's hands with a blank expression, and asked her to add this wish.

Xiao Xixi obeyed obediently.

Luo Qinghan: "Do you have any other wishes?"

"Others... Concubine wants that bamboo forest in the backyard!"

"Don't write this wish."

Xiao Xixi hummed: "Stingy."

The little lantern has been filled with words by her.

She looked left and right, and found that there was really nowhere to write, so she could only give up.

She asked curiously, "Your Highness, don't you want to put on lanterns?"

Luo Qinghan: "I don't have that interest."

Xiao Xixi: "Today is the Mid-autumn Festival. You can put a lantern too, just think it's a pleasure."

Luo Qinghan didn't think there was anything to be happy about putting lanterns on, but he still asked Eunuch Chang to bring a new lantern over.

Seeing that the prince didn't want to write, Xiao Xixi took the initiative to bring his lantern.

"My concubine will help you write it."

Luo Qinghan did not refuse.

He lowered his head and lowered his eyes, looking at Xiao Xixi, who was crouching on the ground, writing seriously. Her handwriting is really not beautiful, every word is round, just like her, she looks silly.

Xiao Xixi wrote it soon.

She held up the lantern in front of him as if offering a treasure.

"Look, Your Highness, this is a wish written by your concubine for you. Do you like it?"

Luo Qinghan looked at the two lines on the lantern——

May the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment.

May His Royal Highness the Prince be blessed with longevity and good health.

Luo Qinghan: "Since you wrote your wish for Gu, why do you want to write your Highness the Prince? How can anyone call themselves His Royal Highness?"

Xiao Xixi: "It looks neater this way. If you don't like it, then the concubine will write another one for you."

"No need, just this."
