However, in the days that followed, the emperor seemed to have forgotten about the Concubine Yun in the cold palace and never set foot there again.

The year flew by quickly, and Yun Shuran, who had been here for so long, was still not used to the ancient life, and could only accept the fate of being trapped in one place.

Although the New Year was over, it was still very cold in the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month was the Lantern Festival, and the palace held a grand banquet again, where officials and their families would enter the palace to enjoy the lanterns and guess riddles, it was very lively.

On this afternoon, Yun Shuran was taken to the palace by Chen Gonggong and his men, who carefully dressed her up, her stunning and peerless beauty was truly captivating.

Chen Gonggong nodded in great satisfaction, he had thought that he had overthought things that day, but yesterday the emperor had asked Concubine Yun to participate in the Lantern Festival.

Chen Gonggong couldn’t figure out the emperor’s mind at all.

Yun Shuran was quite speechless, she had been banished to the cold palace, how could she be asked to participate in the palace banquets every now and then?

Last time, it was Concubine Li who asked the emperor to let her participate in the Moon Festival banquet, this time, according to Chen Gonggong, it was the emperor himself who wanted her to go to the Lantern Festival, and there was no concubine who had pleaded for her.

The moment Yun Shuran understood what Chen Gonggong meant, she was confused, why would the male lead pay attention to her? He had sent things before, and now he was asking her to participate in the Lantern Festival…

She was wearing gorgeous clothes, but they were not as beautiful as her, her walk was normal, but in the eyes of others, it was graceful and dazzling.

The eunuchs and maids who passed by couldn’t help but steal glances, such a beauty being banished to the cold palace was truly a pity.

The Lantern Festival was held in the most spacious part of the palace.

It was not yet completely dark, and the officials and their families were already immersed in the fun of guessing riddles and admiring lanterns.

Yun Shuran entered this lantern festival, her first impression was a bit like a modern square, except that the people walking around were all ancient people.

Not far ahead, there were several concubines gathered together, the one in the middle was Pan Liuer.

Concubine Li didn’t expect Yun Shuran to appear at this Lantern Festival, her eyes were filled with shock when she saw her.

Who asked her to come…

Before Concubine Li could go up to Yun Shuran to make trouble, the emperor’s figure appeared nearby, she could only temporarily abandon her newly hatched plan and hurriedly went to the emperor’s side to seek attention.

Yun Shuran was at the back of the crowd, when she heard that the emperor had arrived, she quickly followed everyone to bow, after bowing, she didn’t surround the emperor, but chose to step back and stay away.

She was essentially appearing under the emperor’s nose with the crime of being the daughter of a traitor, she couldn’t just keep appearing in front of the emperor.

Although she couldn’t figure out the male lead’s intentions, it wouldn’t be wrong to stay low.

Chen Gonggong was still thinking about letting the emperor take a good look at Concubine Yun today, but the graceful figure that made people mesmerized walked further and further away, making Chen Gonggong anxious, he secretly thought that Concubine Yun didn’t know how to seize the opportunity.

Leng Jun, tall and imposing, stood out in the crowd, he glanced coldly at the concubines, but the restrained and slender figure was nowhere to be seen.

He glanced at Chen Gonggong, Chen Gonggong was a shrewd person, he immediately understood and personally went to find Concubine Yun, to bring her to the emperor’s side.

Chen Gonggong walked through the crowd, finally discovering Concubine Yun in the corner, she was eating a string of candied haws with gusto.

Chen Gonggong: “…”

Yun Shuran had only taken a few bites when she looked up and saw Chen Gonggong standing nearby, his expression and eyes were full of helplessness towards her.

“What’s wrong?” She spoke vaguely, because she still had some candied haws in her mouth that she hadn’t chewed.

“Concubine Yun, I’ve finally found you, quickly follow me forward.” Chen Gonggong said very subtly, he knew that Yun Shuran could understand what he meant.

Yun Shuran knew, but she didn’t want to go with him, wouldn’t going forward be the emperor’s location?

“Chen Gonggong, to be honest, I don’t have that kind of fortune.” She told Chen Gonggong very clearly that she not only didn’t want to compete for favor, but she was avoiding the emperor.

Chen Gonggong didn’t expect her to say that, he looked at her with surprise.

“Concubine Yun, this is the emperor’s order.” The emperor’s order cannot be disobeyed.

This time it was Yun Shuran’s turn to be surprised, the emperor’s order?

Yun Shuran thought back in bewilderment, except for the time she bumped into the male lead when she was lost, she hadn’t met the male lead again, the development of things was too strange…

She didn’t believe that the emperor would be interested in her, he was the male lead.

It’s just that the emperor had given the order, so she had to go.

“Wait for me, I’ll finish eating the candied haws in a few bites.”

Chen Gonggong wanted to say it was okay not to eat, the next second he saw her wolfing down the candied haws, her neck was about to be swallowed up.

Chen Gonggong was dumbfounded, Concubine Yun… was really unconstrained.

After Yun Shuran finished the candied haws, she followed Chen Gonggong to Leng Jun’s side.

But Yun Shuran refused to go forward, no matter how Chen Gonggong winked, she just pretended not to see.

Chen Gonggong: “…” His eyes and neck were tired, this was the first time he had seen a concubine avoid the emperor.

She stood at the back of the concubines, her head lowered, staring at the tips of her shoes, so as not to be bothered.

Chen Gonggong was about to drag Concubine Yun to the emperor’s side, several concubines saw this scene, and Leng Jun also saw it.

Pan Liuer and Concubine Li didn’t understand what Chen Gonggong meant by this? Could it be that he wanted to harm Concubine Yun? But Chen Gonggong was the emperor’s personal eunuch, how could he act like this without the emperor’s order?

Several concubines suspected each other, carefully watching Yun Shuran.

Leng Jun’s gaze swept towards Yun Shuran, only to see her standing in the most inconspicuous corner, restrained, she didn’t know that with her beauty, no matter where she stood, the first thing people would see would be her.

Even the most obtuse Yun Shuran could feel the several gazes on her, although she couldn’t tell who was staring at her, it certainly wasn’t friendly.

If this was the emperor’s intention, it was tantamount to putting her on a pedestal and pushing her into the eyes of everyone.
