Chapter 235: Seizing the Brilliance
In front of the tall and quiet Star-Gathering Building, clusters of silver flowers exploded in the air, like thousands of stars falling into the mortal world, fleeting, beautiful and shocking, making people unable to look away.
"Too beautiful." Jiang Shu exclaimed.
Yu Zheng glanced to the side and looked at the person next to him.
"Bang!" When the flowers exploded in the air, Jiang Shu's face was clearly reflected. The fire tree and silver flowers bloomed in her bright eyes, making her already bright face even brighter and more brilliant.
This was the most beautiful flower scene Yu Zheng had ever seen.
A broad hand grasped Jiang Shu's slender hand, and Jiang Shu smiled at Yu Zheng with a sidelong glance, which was more dazzling and seductive than the blooming fire tree and silver flowers.
The girls and young ladies at the back were all envious when they saw the loving look of Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu.
It is easy to find priceless treasures, but it is hard to find lovers.
After watching the flower-playing game, everyone was in a relaxed mood, chatting and laughing as they moved to the Yu Garden to admire the lanterns and guess lantern riddles.
There was no Ao Mountain in the palace, but the lanterns in the palace were unique in shape and exquisite in workmanship, which was very attractive.
There was a round table in the open space in the garden, and the table was piled with a dazzling array of various treasures and jewelry. In the middle of the lottery table, there was a glass lantern, which was particularly eye-catching.
"This year's first prize is a glass lantern, so beautiful, let's go and guess the lantern riddle and get the first prize."
Everyone was very excited, and three or five people competed to guess the riddle.
Jiang Shu also took a fancy to the glass lantern and whispered to Yu Zheng: "Is it easy to win the first prize?"
Yu Zheng's dark eyebrows moved slightly when he heard this: "Do you want it?"
Jiang Shu nodded, staring at the glass lantern with burning eyes.
It was brilliant and crystal clear, like the stars in the night sky, beautiful and charming, and it was hard not to like it.
Seeing that she liked it so much, Yu Zheng pursed his lips and said: "You and my sister and mother rest in the pavilion, I will go to win the prize." "
Okay." Jiang Shu agreed obediently.
Yu Zheng sent her to the pavilion and handed her over to Yu Lan and Yu Guifei to take care of her.
"What are you going to do?" Yu Lan asked curiously.
Yu Zheng cleared his throat and said, "Guess a riddle."
Yu Lan was surprised, "Don't you think it's too troublesome and boring, so you never participate?"
Two years ago, she had her eyes on the first prize, a gilded silk hairpin, and asked Yu Zheng to help her win it, but Yu Zheng refused to go. She said that it was really unmannerly to compete with a group of ladies, so in the end she just made one and gave it to her.
Has he changed his nature this year?
"It's okay to guess once in a while." Yu Zheng remained calm.
Yu Lan's face was full of disbelief.
"It's me who wants the glass lamp." Jiang Shu said weakly.
Concubine Yu Gui and Yu Lan understood instantly and smiled, "Then you have to hurry up, otherwise someone will get there first."
Yu Zheng responded and walked away.
"Uncle, I want to go guess a riddle with you, too." Zhuang Yan followed Yu Zheng like a little tail.
Jiang Shu and the other two were sitting in the pavilion chatting.
People were coming and going in the garden. Some who were tired of walking would stop by the pavilion to rest and join in the chat.
Time passed by, and suddenly, there was a burst of cheers in the garden.
"Brother Zheng won the first prize!"
It was the girls' cheers of surprise, envy and a little regret.
Jiang Shu heard it and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw Yu Zheng, surrounded by a group of men and women, going to the lottery table in the garden.
The chat in the pavilion was interrupted, and Yu Lan smiled and said to Jiang Shu: "Let's go and collect the prize."
"Okay." Jiang Shu stood up happily, and Yu Lan took her arm and walked slowly.
Collecting the first prize was the most anticipated part, and young men and women all swarmed over to watch the excitement.
In a moment, the empty space was filled with people and became lively.
"Congratulations to His Royal Highness Prince Jing for winning the first prize." The eunuch carefully and respectfully presented the glass lantern to Yu Zheng.
Yu Zheng took it and turned to look at Jiang Shu.
Jiang Shu was standing in the crowd, and their eyes met. Yu Zheng walked towards her with lips pursed.
"No wonder Brother Zheng competed with us this year, it turns out he wanted to make the beauty smile." Someone laughed and made a move.
In an instant, everyone cast their eyes on Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu to witness this beautiful moment.
Yu Lan smiled and stepped back a few steps to leave the space for the two.
Being stared at and teased by so many people, Jiang Shu blushed and felt embarrassed.
Yu Zheng was calm and walked towards Jiang Shu step by step with the glass lantern.
"Hahaha..." A group of children were chasing and laughing, and suddenly they came to Jiang Shu.
"Don't run, we caught you."
In front of everyone's eyes, in an instant, Jiang Shu was hit by several children and fell backwards uncontrollably.
"Shu'er!" Yu Zheng's dark eyes condensed, full of panic, threw away the glass lamp in his hand, ran towards Jiang Shu, and stretched out his arms to grab Jiang Shu.
However, he was a little far away and was blocked by several children, so he was slow after all.
"Pop!" Not only the glass lamp was broken, but also Yu Zheng's heart.
Xie Wanruo, who was standing not far behind Jiang Shu, saw that Yu Haolin was among the children who knocked Jiang Shu down. Her beautiful eyes widened immediately, and panic arose in her heart.
She knew very well what the child in Jiang Shu's belly meant.
Without time to think, Xie Wanruo stepped forward, stretched out her hand to catch Jiang Shu, and the two fell to the ground together.
"Ah!" Jiang Shu fell to the ground in fear and hit Xie Wanruo hard.
"Ah!" Xie Wanruo made a flesh pad for Jiang Shu and fell heavily to the ground.
The accident happened too suddenly, and everyone's smiles froze on their faces, and suddenly turned into astonishment.
"Shu'er, how are you?" Yu Zheng helped Jiang Shu up at the first time and asked anxiously.
Jiang Shu was still in shock and said, "I'm fine... I'm fine."
"Thank you, Concubine." Yu Lan and others went to help Xie Wanruo.
Xie Wanruo felt pain all over her body, especially in her stomach, and she was sweating coldly.
"How are you?" Yu Lan asked Xie Wanruo in a serious voice.
Xie Wanruo said with a pale face, "It hurts, my stomach... it hurts so much."
"Quickly call the imperial physician!" Yu Zheng ordered in a cold voice.
The palace maids outside came to their senses and hurriedly went to ask for the imperial physician.
Xie Wanruo and Jiang Shu were placed in the nearest palace. The emperor, empress, Yu Guifei and others rushed over after hearing the news.
"Wanruo, Wanruo... cough cough..." Yu Cheng's injury had not healed yet, and he started coughing again due to anger.
"Your Highness..." Xie Wanruo grabbed Yu Cheng's hand, trying to comfort him not to worry, but it was difficult to speak because of the pain.
The imperial physician came soon, and Imperial Physician Chen and another imperial physician examined Jiang Shu and Xie Wanruo at the same time.
"How is it?" Yu Zheng asked anxiously.
The imperial physician said: "The princess was just frightened, there is no serious problem, just take a bowl of tranquilizer."
"How is Wanruo?" Yu Cheng also asked anxiously.
Doctor Chen frowned and said with a heavy face: "Your Majesty has signs of miscarriage. The baby in your belly... may be difficult to save."
Xie Wanruo almost fainted when she heard this.
This is the child she has been waiting for for several years!
"Is there any way to save it?" Yu Cheng asked while holding his chest and gritting his teeth.
Doctor Chen hesitated and said: "I can only do my best."
"Okay, okay, use the best medicine and make sure to save the child." Yu Cheng grabbed the last glimmer of hope.
After hearing the diagnosis, the emperor asked in a stern voice: "What's going on? How could something go wrong?"
As luck would have it, the two pregnant women were in trouble.
Yu Lan said: "A group of children were chasing and fighting, and accidentally bumped into Jiang Shu. Concubine Xie was close to Jiang Shu, so she risked her life to catch Jiang Shu."
Everyone saw the incident clearly.
