Back to the day I married my second wife, I turned around and married my ex-husband's uncle

Before we knew it, the Lantern Festival was here.

Qin Wenli specially prepared a large number of fireworks. Everyone watched the fireworks on the Dengxing Pavilion, and the people in the city could also see the fireworks.

This year's fireworks were even grander than in previous years. All the officials were amazed and even the emperor liked them very much.

"Wen Li has made excellent preparations this time. Such a grand fireworks display should be enjoyed by the people. Watching the ceremony from Dengxing Pavilion is a great opportunity. It's clear that Wen Li put a lot of thought into it!"

The emperor was very happy.

Qin Wenli smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Father!"

"Mother has prepared a lot for the Lantern Festival this time. This year's songs and dances are also very novel. Father, please enjoy them slowly later!"

After Qin Wenli finished speaking, the emperor became interested. "Okay, I'm looking forward to it!"

This time, Qin Wenli also put a lot of thought into the position of queen.

When the fireworks were about to end, Qin Wenli immediately told his men that they could begin.

Amidst the sounds of laughter and fireworks, lights were lit on the central round platform of the Imperial Garden not far away.

After the bright candlelight came on, several dancers came in one after another and danced on the round stage, with red fans in their hands blooming like flowers.

From the Dengxing Pavilion, one could enjoy the dancing in the garden. The melodious sound of the zither reached the emperor, who nodded in appreciation. "It's a unique experience to enjoy it here."

Fireworks are still blooming in the night sky, flickering and illuminating the dancers in the center of the garden. Their graceful dance moves are particularly attractive.

Seeing that his father liked it so much, Qin Wenli raised the corners of his lips slightly. The position of queen had been vacant for a long time. If he could make his father happy this time, maybe his mother would be crowned queen soon.

Although it is only a matter of time, he still hopes that it will happen as soon as possible. When his mother becomes the queen, he can feel completely at ease.

However, what I didn’t expect was…

Suddenly someone exclaimed, "Is that a fairy?"

Exclamations were heard from all around.

The emperor stared at the dancing figure on the roof with his eyes wide open.

The moonlight and the brilliant light of fireworks alternately sprinkled on the woman, making her figure in white even more dreamy and unreal, yet captivating.

Jiang Ningwan was startled when she saw the figure. She looked for a long time before she recognized who it was.

"Who is that? Is she really a fairy? She's so beautiful."

There were bursts of exclamations from all around.

Jiang Ningwan looked towards Concubine Rong and saw that her aunt also had a puzzled look on her face, her eyes fixed on the figure on the roof.

"aunt?"

Concubine Rong came back to her senses and shook her head secretly at her. This was not arranged by her.

The two looked at Qin Wenli and Xie Lianyi again, and they also shook their heads.

No such person has been arranged.

Jiang Ningwan lowered her voice and said, "It was arranged by the eldest prince."

"That person looks like Jiang Xiru."

Hearing this, several people were shocked.

The emperor seemed to have heard the name as well and asked, "Who is it? Is it Jiang Xiru?"

Qin Wenli quickly took over the conversation: "Father, I just feel a little similar, but I'm not sure."

The emperor nodded thoughtfully, his eyes never leaving the figure for a moment. "Whether it is or not, this year's song and dance are indeed novel."

Qin Wenli noticed that his father's eyes had become obsessed, and he felt a little uneasy.

Was this really arranged by Qin Chengqian? How could he let his wife come here to dance and attract his father's attention?

He couldn't figure it out.

Soon, the fireworks were over.

The figure in white on the roof also landed gracefully on the ground, and the water-colored shawl fluttering in the wind danced into people's hearts.

"It's truly the appearance of an immortal."

"I wonder who he is. How could there be such a strange person among the palace dancers?"

Everyone was extremely curious about who the woman in white was.

The emperor stared at the figure intently and ordered, "Let that woman come up and answer."

"Yes." Hai Dehong went down personally and brought the person up.

When everyone saw the true face of the woman in white, they were all shocked.

She turned out to be the eldest prince’s wife!

A hint of surprise flashed across the emperor's eyes, but soon returned to normal.

"Oh it's you!"

Jiang Xiru slowly stepped forward and saluted.

Qin Chengqian also stood up and stepped forward, "Reporting to His Majesty, this time the fireworks viewing ceremony will be held in Dengxing Pavilion. This son and Xiru also wanted to present a gift to please His Majesty, so we came up with this idea together. As long as His Majesty likes it, that's all!"

The emperor was very satisfied. "Very good, I like it very much! You are very thoughtful."

"Everyone, please take your seats!"

Everyone took their seats one after another, and the singing and dancing banquet officially began.

This palace banquet was held in the Dengxing Pavilion. Looking up, one could see the moon in the night sky. Although it was very cold up there, there were heaters all around and fine wine to warm the body, so one did not feel cold at all.

Amidst the singing and dancing, Qin Chengqian toasted the emperor again and again and drank happily with him.

Concubine Rong advised, "Your Majesty, please take care of your health. Don't drink too much of this wine."

The emperor waved his hand, looking a little drunk. "No problem. I'm having a good time today. Let's have a couple more drinks."

After saying that, he continued drinking.

During the journey, Jiang Xiru sneezed because she was not wearing enough clothes. The emperor saw this and said considerately, "Xiru is wearing too little. Cheng Qian, let her change her clothes."

"Yes." Qin Chengqian turned around and winked at Jiang Xiru. Jiang Xiru saluted and left Dengxing Pavilion.

Before the banquet was over, the emperor went back to rest because he was drunk.

Qin Wenli wanted to send the emperor back, but Qin Chengqian spoke first: "Father, I will take you back to rest."

"Okay." The emperor slowly stood up and left with the support of Qin Chengqian.

After everyone respectfully saw the emperor off, the banquet continued.

On the way to escort the emperor back to his bedroom, Qin Chengqian suddenly felt an unbearable stomachache. The emperor asked with concern, "What's wrong? Hai Dehong, call the imperial physician to take a look."

Qin Chengqian waved his hands quickly, "Father, maybe he has an upset stomach..."

Hearing this, the emperor saw how uncomfortable he was and said, "Then you should go back and rest. I will go back by myself."

"Yes!"

Then Hai Dehong supported the emperor and he slowly left. The emperor said thoughtfully, "How could he get upset after eating the food prepared by the imperial kitchen? Let Concubine Rong find out what went wrong tomorrow."

"Yes!"

The emperor walked slowly and drunkenly towards his bedroom.

When passing by the garden not far from Chenglu Palace, they heard a woman sobbing. It was pitch black all around, and the faint crying made many palace people panic.

The emperor frowned and said, "Who is playing tricks here? I'll go and take a look."

When walking through the garden, what caught my eye was a graceful figure in white dancing in the pavilion, crying as she danced. It seemed that she had endless grievances and feelings to express, which made people feel pity for her.

"Which palace is this from? Have I treated any concubine coldly recently?"

The drunk emperor was a little dazzled and could not see the woman's face clearly. He thought that it was a concubine in the harem who was resentful and was crying here on such a beautiful day.

Hai Dehong took a closer look and said, "Your Majesty, that doesn't seem to be a concubine, but the eldest prince's wife."

Hearing this, the emperor was shocked.

Jiang Xiru?

Looking at the woman's dance again, the emperor was a little surprised. "It's completely different from the dance on the roof just now. What kind of injustice has she suffered that makes her cry here?"

"I'm going to take a look, you don't have to follow."

Hai Dehong responded respectfully, "Yes."

Then he turned around and asked the palace maid to wait outside the garden.
