My husband is pure and has few desires, but I gave birth to three children in a row

With the help of the palace maid, she was helped to sit down at the table.

He slowed down, calmed himself down, and drank another cup of hot tea.

Lu Zhenzhen felt that she had recovered and was no longer in the mood to look at lanterns or guess riddles.

What's more, she has already got two lanterns that she likes, and looking at the time, it's probably about time.

He stood up and said: "It's getting late, shouldn't we go back?"

Princess Qingning was still a little reluctant and muttered, "I don't want to go back yet! Should we go send some river lanterns?"

Sending river lanterns? Lu Zhenzhen looked over.

Princess Qingning explained that every year during the Lantern Festival, the palace had various lanterns for the masters to enjoy.

All the palace maids could release river lanterns into the river in the corner of the Imperial Garden.

There is an artificial river in the corner of the Imperial Garden, which runs through the Imperial Garden and the moat outside.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month every year, people outside the palace can release river lanterns, write their wishes on the lanterns, pray devoutly, and then release them into the river, where they will flow away.

The founding empress of the dynasty showed mercy and allowed the palace maids to release river lanterns in the artificial river in the imperial garden on this day.

Praying for the safety of my family and stuff like that.

Over the years, not only would the palace maids release river lanterns to pray on this day, but some masters would also release river lanterns to pray.

Lu Zhenzhen found it boring when she heard it.

It’s pitch dark here, and if we go to the waterside, what if something happens?

The emperor had just warned her to take better care of the Fourth Princess and Princess Qingning.

He then said, "People release river lanterns to pray for something. What are you two praying for? Besides, if you really want to ask for something, you might as well pray to His Majesty or the Imperial Concubine. Even if the river lanterns or the river gods are spiritual, with so many people praying, it will take forever for your turn."

"They say sincerity brings success. The chances of being chosen to have your wish fulfilled are already slim. Why bother competing with those palace maids for such an illusory spot?"

"If we really want to see it, we can just stand high up on the rockery and watch others set it off!"

"Or, if you really have the time, why not stay downstream and catch a few lanterns to see what others are wishing for? If you can come true, help them realize it. That would be awesome!"

When the Fourth Princess and Princess Qingning heard this, they slammed the table and said, "That's right!"

What’s so fun about making a wish? It’s really cool to make other people’s wishes come true!

It's done!

A few people came out of the pavilion and stood on the rockery. They were indeed standing high and could see far.

In the distance, you can see that many river lanterns have been placed in the river. The small lotus river lanterns sway with the waves, making the river water look like it is sprinkled with gold powder.

Looking at it this way, you can only see a river of light and lights, which is very beautiful.

The Fourth Princess and Princess Qingning watched for a long time before ordering two young eunuchs to go downstream and fetch three lanterns.

Not long after, two young eunuchs came up with three lotus lanterns of similar style.

The three of them gathered around the table, put the lamp on it, and looked at it carefully.

One lantern has a message saying "hope for family safety".

Yi Deng hoped to be released from the palace as soon as possible and marry her cousin.

There is also a lamp that prays for good sisters to get well soon.

Don’t worry about wishing your family members to be safe; the wishes for the other two lamps are not difficult to fulfill.

The Fourth Princess and Princess Qingning each picked one and planned to ask someone to check tomorrow who made the wish and fulfill it.

After all this trouble, almost another hour had passed.

Someone close to Concubine Xiao had come to look for her and said that the banquet was about to end and it was time to return to the Hall of Supreme Harmony as they would be having Yuanxiao (Chinese Yuanxiao) soon.

The three of them then carried their lanterns and walked towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

They met many female members of the royal family along the way. When they saw them, they were very tactful and bowed from a distance, then stepped aside to let Lu Zhenzhen and the others go first.

The Fourth Princess and Princess Qingning have long been accustomed to this.

He walked straight over with Lu Zhenzhen. Even after walking a long way, he could still vaguely hear the women whispering something.

After entering the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the female relatives who were chatting and laughing inside stopped laughing for a moment and looked over in unison.

Most of the eyes fell on Lu Zhenzhen.

Lu Zhenzhen returned to her seat in the Prince of Shu's mansion, full of doubts. Before she could even sit down, the Prince of Shu's wife came over and said, "Congratulations, Princess Le'an!"

Lu Zhenzhen finally understood why all the women were looking at her.

Did he know that he had been promoted from a village chief to a county chief?

No, is the news so fast?

Lu Zhenzhen gave a bitter smile and bowed to the Prince of Shu's wife begging for mercy.

The Princess of Shu knew there was something fishy going on here, but it was not appropriate to ask too many questions in public. She gave Lu Zhenzhen a look that said "I'll ask her when I get back" and said nothing more.

Lu Zhenzhen just breathed a sigh of relief, but found that it was too early.

The looks from people around me, both overt and covert, really make me feel very uncomfortable.

It was Guan who was standing by and moved her position unnoticeably to block part of Lu Zhenzhen's view.

Lu Zhenzhen smiled gratefully at Guan.

Guan smiled back, then lowered her head and said nothing.

Fortunately, Concubine Xiao above also saw the undercurrent below. She clapped her hands, and the palace maids came up with Yuanxiao.

Each person has a bowl, and in the middle of the small bowl, each person has six Yuanxiao.

You can choose sweet or savory.

Lu Zhenzhen ordered a sweet one. She was frightened by Lao Duo today and needed to eat something sweet to calm her nerves.

The sweet Yuanxiao include those with sesame filling, red bean paste filling, osmanthus filling, peanut filling, rose sugar filling and candied date filling.

One bite and your mouth is filled with fragrance.

Guan next to her ordered something salty.

There are meat fillings, salted egg yolk fillings and ham fillings.

Everyone ate a bite or two to celebrate the festival.

Lu Zhenzhen finished a bowl by herself, and also took two from Guan's bowl, one with meat filling and one with salted egg yolk filling, and snatched a ham filling from Princess Qingning's bowl. She was finally full.

After eating, my body immediately warmed up.

As soon as the banquet was over, Lu Zhenzhen wrapped herself in a cloak, carried two glass lanterns and followed the Princess of Shu closely.

That large palace lantern is really inconvenient to carry, so I have entrusted it to the Fourth Princess, who will have it delivered to the mansion tomorrow.

On the way out of the palace, someone wanted to come over and ask, but was stopped by the Princess of Shu and the Crown Prince's Consort with just a few words.

After leaving the palace, the Princess of Shu said directly: "Brother Yi and his wife, please take my carriage."

Lu Zhenzhen was about to climb onto her own carriage, but had no choice but to follow the Princess of Shu into her carriage.

The Princess of Shu's carriage was large and luxurious, much more extravagant than the one prepared for her by the Ningping Marquis's Mansion.

As soon as I got into the carriage, it was so warm as spring that I couldn't even wrap myself in my cloak.

The sweet longan and red date tea is ready. One cup can dispel the cold and warm the stomach.
