    The revolving horse lantern is one of the lanterns introduced to the palace from the folk, but because of the complicated production process, it was used the most in the palace later.  Every New Year's Day or the birthday of the prince or princess, they will be made into lanterns for good luck.

    Xiang Huan rested all night, and the next day, his servants packed the leather, wood boards, iron wires, etc. they had bought and handed them over to him in a large heavy box.

    Xiang Yuanyuan squatted on the ground to look through it, and couldn't help but click her tongue: "This thing looks troublesome, brother, can you do it?"

    He was finishing his porridge, rolled up his sleeves and spread out the white paper, "If you don't, you have to try."

    To be honest, I have almost forgotten what happened seven or eight years ago.

    Xiang Huan had no choice but to borrow the blueprint of a common lantern from a craftsman first, and modify it based on his memory.

    Wanyao was at the mansion, but Xiang Huan didn't come out to stalk him, which is really a strange thing.  On the first day, after Yu Wenjun finished his work, he led Huaisheng to watch the fun.

    At that time, he was huddling in the room to draw drawings, using a measuring ruler to make gestures up, down, left, and right, which at first glance was very bluffing.

    Yu Wenjun is a real son of an aristocratic family. After a famous family, he is not as disobedient as Xiang Huan. He has learned everything from etiquette, music, archery, imperialism, calligraphy, and mathematics since he was a child. One can see the layout he drew at a glance.  Eyelids couldn't help twitching.

    "It should be moved an inch to the side here no, no, it should be moved here"

    "What is your look?"

    In the end, I really couldn't stand it anymore, so I simply took the pen and measuring ruler to help him tick.

    The lanterns made in the old days were about one foot in diameter. Xiang Huan spread the wooden boards on the floor, marked the size according to the drawings, and took a saw and sawed them evenly into strips.

    When Xiang Yuanyuan brings dinner in, the room is already well prepared.

    She put down the food box quite curiously, walked around the pile of wooden boards and walked to the table. On the paper, she sketched chariot and horse figures, some riding and shooting with bows, some galloping on horseback, and some fighting on horseback  It is painted very vividly.

    "Brother!" She almost screamed, "Did you draw it?!"

    Xiang Huan was carving silhouettes with a knife, but she almost cut his own hand when she shouted, so he stopped the knife impatiently, "What are you doing?"

    Xiang Yuanyuan held up the painting and protested: "You never told me that you can paint!"

    Isn't his brother only able to dismember the human body? When did he learn such an elegant skill!

    "What a fuss." The latter lowered his head indifferently and continued to engrave, "It's not difficult to draw this."

    "It's hard, I don't even know how to do it." You have never painted for me either!

    "Okay, don't yell, I know more about your brother." Xiang Huan motioned her to go aside, "If you have nothing to do, help me draw the picture."

    Xiang Yuanyuan sat down at the table, took a pen in her hand, "Aren't you going to eat?"

    "Eat later."

    The wing room quickly became lively, and the sound of knocking and knocking could be heard one after another, which could be heard from far away.

    From the second day on, Xiang Huan concentrated on confining himself in the house, cutting wooden poles, carving patterns, and building frames for the marquee lanterns, busy in full swing.

    Occasionally, Yu Fei and the others would come to make him mess up. Originally, they were sawing wood, sawing and sawing, and seeing each other was not pleasing to the eye.  The rest of the planks were thrown all over the place.

    Perhaps the commotion was a bit loud, and even Ji Changchuan and Xiang Nantian followed and peeked at it once or twice.

    In the afternoon, Wanyao didn't dare to get too close, so she glanced at it from a distance on the corridor.

    The room was full of debris, and Xiang Huan buried his head in front of the table, hammering a small copper hammer into two pieces of wood.  The setting sun just sprinkled half of his body impartially, like a layer of brilliant gold powder, and the lines of his eyebrows and eyes were clear and soft.

    Although he also looks like he forgets to eat and sleep, but at least he won't go out and jump up and down to toss himself.

    Wan Yao watched quietly for a while, then left quietly.

    When she thought about it at night, and sneaked to the door again, the lights in the wing room were still on, and the boy who lived inside had already fallen asleep at the table.

    She froze for a moment, then quietly lifted her skirt and went in.

    Wanyao raised her eyes and looked around. Copper hammers and saws were scattered everywhere, and waste paper rolled in balls in the corner.  After taking two steps, she came across uncleaned boards all over the floor, and the slight noise almost made her mistakenly think that Xiang Huan would be woken up.

    Wan Yao covered her mouth and observed for a long time tremblingly. Seeing that the other party hadn't moved, she stepped over it cautiously.

    Xiang Huan rested his face in the crook of his arms, probably really sleepy, he didn't even notice her, justThe people looked at each other without speaking, and the surrounding atmosphere showed a kind of tranquility before the catastrophe was approaching.

    Xiang Huan pushed aside Yu Fei and rushed in.

    When Xiang Yuanyuan saw him, she shivered involuntarily, and instinctively wanted to hide the lantern behind her.

    This movement of hers was so obvious that the things in her arms became more and more eye-catching.

    Xiang Huan's eyes seemed to be stabbed by needles suddenly, and there were fine and small pains. He rushed over and snatched the revolving lantern from her hand.

    After all, it was a paper lampshade, even though the fire wasn't that big, it had already burnt half of the frame.

    At that moment, he was absent-minded for a while, staring blankly at the broken limb in his hand, and didn't say a word for a long time.

    Xiang Yuanyuan was suddenly afraid of his expression, with mixed feelings in her heart, and she blamed herself to the point where she couldn't add more, she called out with a little cry: "Brother"

    Xiang Huan suddenly raised his eyes fiercely, the coldness in his eyes approached, Xiang Yuanyuan trembled with fright, and immediately hid behind Yu Wenjun.

    She even had the illusion that his brother's expression seemed to be able to tear her alive in the next moment!

    Yu Wenjun had no choice but to stretch out his hand to protect her, and said with some pale relief: "Xiao Huan, don't worryit's not completely burnt, maybe you can try to mend it"

    Seeing this, Yu Fei also came back to his senses, and echoed: "Yes, yes, we will help you mend it together, maybe it will be over in a few hours."

    "Besides, Miss Wanyao is not unreasonable. At worst, explain the situation to her and let her wait for a few more days"

    There are only three hours left, and it will be dawn.

    He knew it was too late, and he had no time to make another complete lantern for her.

    Xiang Huan tightened his grip on the lamp stand, unable to explain why, but for a moment, he felt a desolation of "maybe God doesn't want us to be together".

    Seeing his expression, Xiang Yuanyuan was eager to make amends, and walked out: "I'm going to find sister Wanyao"

    Xiang Huan suddenly shouted: "Don't go! Get back!"

    She immediately stayed where she was, and said aggrievedly: "Brother, why"

    "You are not allowed to go anywhere." He said coldly, "Just stay in the room for me." (Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com
