On Yu Street to the south of Xuande Tower, there is a colorful building with lanterns not far away, and the colorful mountain in front of Xuande Tower is the most eye-catching.

It was a lantern tower called Aoshan. Its two Ao pillars were more than 20 zhang long, with a giant dragon coiled on top, with a bright lamp in its mouth. When hundreds of thousands of lanterns were lit up at the same time, the splendid scene was breathtaking.

Princess Fuqing was fascinated by the bright lamp in the dragon's mouth.

She had seen this magnificent scene of the double dragon portrait last year, but she was still overwhelmed with emotion when she saw it again today.

There are so many beautiful sights in the world, it’s great to be able to see them.

She thought so and looked into the distance.

The streets were filled with singing, dancing, and performances, as well as laughter and joy, creating a truly prosperous scene.

Princess Fuqing felt somewhat regretful.

She was a princess, and it was wishful thinking for her to walk around holding lanterns during the Lantern Festival like any other girl.

However, these regrets were suppressed by Princess Fuqing.

It is precisely because she is a princess that she can stand on the Xuande Tower to watch the lights and enjoy the scenery without worrying about life. If she is still not content, she will be ungrateful.

At this time, downstairs, there were also people admiring the amazing sight of the twin dragons.

"It's really lively today, but it's a pity that Ah Huan is still young, so it's inconvenient to bring her here to see it." Jiang Si felt quite regretful as he walked on the brightly lit street.

With so many maids, old women and wet nurses, there was no problem in taking Ah Huan out to admire the lanterns. However, she was worried that something might happen upstairs in Xuande Tower tonight, which would cause chaos. So for safety reasons, she decided to leave her daughter in the mansion.

Thinking about how pitiful Ah Huan looked when the two of them went out, Jiang Si felt even more uncomfortable.

Yu Jin held Jiang Si's hand and no longer had such thoughts: "It's rare for us to go out together, so don't think about the girl."

By this time next year, Ah Huan will have run away, and then it won't be so easy to leave the two girls behind and go out for fun.

This kind of opportunity should be cherished.

The two of them were wandering hand in hand in the sea of ​​lights when suddenly they heard cheers of joy and they could not help but stop and look up.

Then I saw fireworks blooming in the sky, one after another, and soon filled most of the sky.

At this moment, countless people looked up at the fireworks, including those on the Xuande Building.

Emperor Jingming supported the Queen Mother with a smile on his face, "What do you think of the fireworks here, Mother?"

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Of course it is beautiful. I haven't seen it for many years."

"Then mother, please come to visit every year in the future. Your son and the Empress will accompany you." Emperor Jingming was in a very good mood when he saw that the Empress Dowager was happy.

The Queen had been keeping an eye on Princess Fuqing from the corner of her eye, and when she heard Emperor Jingming mention her, she quickly smiled and agreed.

"Since you are so filial, everything will be good for me." Under the light, the empress dowager's expression became more peaceful.

"As long as you like it."

While Emperor Jingming was chatting and laughing with the Empress Dowager, the Empress looked for Princess Fuqing in the corner of her eyes and suddenly her expression changed.

Princess Fuqing, who was admiring the lights not far away, is gone.

The queen looked around hurriedly.

At this moment, there was a scream from a young girl, followed by a loud bang.

"Someone fell from the building—"

There was chaos in the streets, with screams coming one after another.

No one was watching the sky full of fireworks anymore, and they surged toward the Xuande Building like a tide.

"What happened?" Yu Jin was pulling Jiang Si to stand in front of a jade rabbit lantern that was as tall as a person. Seeing something unexpected happen, he looked sharply in the direction of Xuande Building.

Jiang seemed a little surprised, but also felt relieved.

The Queen cared so much about Princess Fuqing, and she believed that with her reminder, nothing would happen to Princess Fuqing.

It's better to happen early than late. If nothing happens during the Lantern Festival this year, we can't wait until this time next year for her to go to the palace and warn others on the pretext of having a dream.

"It seems like something happened in Xuande Building. Should we go take a look?"

Yu Jin nodded: "Then go and take a look."

By this time the Xuande Building was in chaos.

When the queen heard the young woman's scream, her face changed drastically and she rushed towards the direction where the sound came from.

"Empress--" Emperor Jingming shouted and subconsciously grabbed the Empress' sleeve.

The empress, who was worried about the safety of her beloved daughter, didn't care about all these. She pulled out her sleeve with force and almost made Emperor Jingming stagger.

Pan Hai, who was standing by, hurriedly supported Emperor Jingming.

Emperor Jingming stood up straight, and after a moment of embarrassment, he said to the Queen Mother as if nothing had happened: "Mother, please don't move. I'll go over there and see what happened."

"Your Majesty, please be careful." The Queen Mother warned, looking at Emperor Jingming's hurriedly leaving back with deep eyes.

When the queen rushed over and saw the scene, her heart, which had been in her throat, finally settled down.

Princess Fuqing was being held tightly by the Fourteenth Princess. Both of them looked extremely pale, and a palace maid was leaning over the railing to look around.

"What's going on?" The queen walked over quickly.

Princess Fuqing had tears in her eyes and bit her lip and said, "Mother, the indigo has fallen down—"

When the Queen noticed that Princess Fuqing looked strange, she looked at Princess Fourteen with an inquiring look.

The Fourteenth Princess didn't look much better than Princess Fuqing. She was even shaking all the time, but she didn't forget to salute the Queen: "Mother, just now... Qingdai suddenly reached out and pushed the Thirteenth Sister. Fortunately, the palace maid pushed her away..."

Thinking of what happened just now, Princess Fourteen felt a surge of fear.

She remembered the Queen's order and never left Thirteenth Sister's side. Just when the fireworks started, Thirteenth Sister said that the view here was wide, so she dragged her here to watch the fireworks. Who knew that the palace maid named Qingdai actually wanted to harm Thirteenth Sister.

Qingdai was Princess Fuqing's personal maid. Who would have thought that she would harm her master?

Because it was too unexpected, even though the Fourteenth Princess had been following Princess Fuqing closely, she still didn't react at that moment. Fortunately, a palace maid rushed over and pushed Qingdai away, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

The queen was also frightened.

Although she warned the Fourteenth Princess, her daughter's safety certainly could not be entirely placed on a little girl. The palace maid who pushed Qingdai away was arranged by her and she had some experience in martial arts.

The reason for reminding the Fourteenth Princess was because the Queen Mother was present, and she was afraid that if an accident happened, it would be inconvenient for the palace maid to get close, so she stopped just in case.

But the queen never expected that the person who wanted to harm Princess Fuqing was Qingdai, Princess Fuqing's personal maid.

"How did that slave girl fall down?" the queen asked sharply.

Princess Fuqing, who had regained her composure, said, "She jumped down by herself."

The queen was stunned.

The Fourteenth Princess followed up, "Yes, she was pushed away by the palace maid and then she jumped down. We didn't have time to react at all—"

The queen wanted to ask more, but Emperor Jingming said in a deep voice, "Let's talk about it when we return to the palace."

Downstairs of the Xuande Tower, those who had rushed in did not dare to approach, and the woman who had fallen to the ground was quickly dragged away by the guards.

Yu Jin came over with Jiang Si, and also the King of Qi and others came over.

When the guards saw that they were princes and princesses, they naturally did not stop them.

At this time, Emperor Jingming came downstairs, took a look at his sons who came over to see the excitement, and immediately became furious.
