She thought of a possibility, was the male lead trying to protect the female lead, to prevent anyone from harming her, so he made her the target of everyone’s attention, in order to achieve the purpose of protecting the female lead?

Then she overturned this speculation, with the male lead’s noble status, the entire Yun Dynasty was his, there was no need to use such a scheme.

At this time, other concubines, in order to stand out and win the emperor’s favor, began to chase each other in guessing riddles.

In terms of talent, Pan Liuer, who was known as beautiful and intelligent, was the most outstanding among the concubines.

Every time she guessed the riddle, Pan Liuer was the first to give the correct answer, everyone praised her repeatedly, some concubines were dissatisfied but could only hide it in their hearts.

Yun Shuran stood at the back, Chen Gonggong had just finished reading the riddle when Pan Liuer answered, while she acted as an NPC, admiring and applauding the female lead’s intelligence.

Even Chen Gonggong couldn’t help but admire Concubine Liu’s intelligence, it was a pity that she and the emperor were like a flower in love with a flowing stream, love could not be forced.

Pan Liuer, under the admiring gazes of everyone, looked at Leng Jun, Leng Jun didn’t react at all, as if he was determined to make her give up her unwarranted thoughts.

Pan Liuer was unwilling, she had admired Leng Jun since she was a child, Leng Jun was very kind to her, but he only treated her as a sister and had no other thoughts, when he learned of her feelings, he began to deliberately distance himself from her.

Even entering the palace was only after she tried to kill herself, Leng Jun reluctantly agreed, besides protecting her safety, Leng Jun never set foot in her palace, unwilling to have any close relationship with her.

Pan Liuer’s unwillingness almost overwhelmed her reason, she was so excellent, why did Leng Jun only treat her as a sister…

The place where the Lantern Festival was held was quite windy, Leng Jun’s figure was tall and slender, his handsome appearance always made people unable to take their eyes off him, but they dared not look at him too much because he was the emperor.

He stood among the crowd, his long black hair tied up in a golden crown and jade belt, the wind blew gently, brushing his black hair and jade belt, this scene was like a fairy descending into the night, noble and fierce.

Yun Shuran accidentally saw this scene, she had to say that the most handsome people she had ever seen, besides her beautiful neighbor, was the male lead Leng Jun in front of her.

He was worthy of being the male lead, he was excellent in every way.

She had just finished sighing in her heart when she suddenly met Leng Jun’s black eyes, they were deep and seemed to be able to see through everything.

She shivered, quickly lowered her head, not daring to look around anymore.

Fortunately, when the concubines were guessing riddles, the classic “Why don’t you guess, Concubine Yun?” didn’t appear, she reacted quickly to brain teasers, but she couldn’t guess riddles.

Except for that unintentional glance at the male lead, she didn’t even talk to the other concubines during the entire Lantern Festival, she naturally avoided the male lead.

But she couldn’t be too far away, otherwise Chen Gonggong would pull her to a closer position to the emperor.

Yun Shuran was always in a state of caution, afraid that a conspiracy would emerge and end her life that day.

Fortunately, the concubines’ attention was on the emperor, and they didn’t have time to bother her.

The Lantern Festival arrived at the time of releasing the sky lanterns, the good spots were all occupied, some concubines were writing wishes on the tables that had been brought over, and some concubines were writing wishes on the backs of the eunuchs and maids who were bending over.

Yun Shuran took the sky lantern given to her by Chen Gonggong and walked to an empty place, she squatted down and wrote on it with a brush: May I eat and wear warm clothes every year, and may the fish in the cold palace lake never run out.

She had just finished writing when it started to snow, Yun Shuran raised her head, snowflakes fell on her face.

She carefully protected the sky lantern and called for a eunuch to light the fire inside the sky lantern.

Yun Shuran was holding the sky lantern, she didn’t expect that as soon as the fire was lit, the entire sky lantern caught fire, the wind blew and the flames flared up.

Yun Shuran reacted quickly, but before she could completely throw the sky lantern away, her soft waist was held by a strong arm, she was dizzy for a moment, and she had already been protected in the arms of the tall man.

The burning sky lantern was kicked far away by the man, the sky lantern rolled a few times on the empty ground, and several eunuchs rushed forward to put out the fire.

The eunuch who was responsible for lighting the fire was lighting a sky lantern for the first time, he had no experience and was so scared that his face turned pale, he knelt on the ground and kept saying “I’m guilty, I’m guilty”.

Yun Shuran smelled the faint ambergris on the man, her white and tender ears turned red, her waist… was extremely sensitive, she couldn’t bear to be pressed against him by his big hand.

She didn’t dare to look up, her hands trembled as she frantically pulled away his big hand from her waist.

“I… I thank Your Majesty.”

Yun Shuran quickly stepped back a few steps, her body stood stiffly, not daring to move.

Leng Jun was silent, but his gaze slowly moved from her pink ears to her slender and white neck, her skin was so tender that it seemed like a red mark would appear with a light suck.

His palm still retained the soft touch of her waist.

After a long time, he said: “Be careful.”

Yun Shuran hurriedly bowed: “Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving me just now.”

Chen Gonggong followed the emperor to show his concern, he was so anxious that his nose was sweating, he quickly called for a physician.

“Your Majesty, are you hurt by the fire?”

Leng Jun stopped the servants from calling for a physician: “I’m fine, no need to call for a physician.”

“Your Majesty…” Chen Gonggong was really anxious.

Leng Jun gave him a cold glance, ignoring his fuss.

Yun Shuran lowered her head to look at the emperor’s shoes, there wasn’t even a trace of burn marks, the male lead in the book was talented, skilled in martial arts, and invincible in the world, kicking away that little fire was indeed extremely easy.

The eunuch who had made a mistake in lighting the fire was dragged away by Chen Gonggong’s men.

Yun Shuran watched the eunuch being dragged away, she could tell that the eunuch didn’t do it on purpose.

“Jun Gege…”

Pan Liuer’s sweet voice was filled with concern, seeing that Leng Jun was fine, she immediately changed her words: “Your Majesty, would you like to help me release this sky lantern…”

Chen Gonggong didn’t even dare to open his eyes to look at the current scene of hell.

What he didn’t expect was that Yun Shuran was very sensible, she stepped back a few steps away from this place, but… why did she drag him along?
