Plundering the Dao of the Immortal Journey Chapter 99: Looking back sadly
night
The dark clouds in the sky are a bit dense, obscuring the stars, and it is black. The main gate of the palace is dotted with colorful lanterns, the largest being the Erlong Opera bead lamp, which is brightly reflected.
It’s rare to celebrate with the people. All the lamps with poems and mysteries are hanging in the corridors of the city. The dots are very affectionate. The most important thing is that even in the city, because there are earth dragons, the heating is exhausted, and you can see the lights. Some princes or princess princesses are guessing lantern riddles, watching the fireworks in the distance, and watching the streets below.
Every five steps on the wall, there is a guard. Today is festive. Although these guards are wearing knives, they are all wearing red jackets, making them look festive.
"The emperor is here!"
As a white-faced old **** yelled in front, the sharp voice sounded, and the noisy crowd was immediately quiet.
The **** was wearing a big red robe, carrying a lantern to lead the way, followed by a few small eunuchs playing the lantern, followed by the emperor, middle-aged, wearing a golden robe and a red cloak, and there were more than a dozen guards with swords on his side. follow.
The emperor appeared, the princes, princesses, and princesses who were frolicking all quieted down, and the leading concubine stepped forward: "See your majesty!"
Everyone in the field knelt down and shouted: "Huge long live, long live!"
"Flat!" The emperor asked everyone to stand up, and when the time was almost up, he ordered: "Go ahead!"
"Respect the purpose."
Three cannons sounded immediately, and the guards clashed out in armor, and immediately intercepted three hundred steps from the city gate. This was a distance that no crossbow could reach.
Even if it is to celebrate with the people, it still has royal authority and safety.
Thousands of spectators fell silent for an instant, and they saw loud noises on the city gate, and the dragon flag ascending to the city. It was dazzling to see. The guards were golden helmets and silver armors, majestic and majestic, and the **** in the middle. Hug Huang Yu and stopped in the city.
The light is bright, although after a few hundred steps, I can still vaguely see Huang Yu next to him, wearing a beaded crown and a golden dragon robe, smiling slightly, although he is over fifty, he looks healthy.
In an instant, the crowd bowed down like large tracts of wheat, and the mountains screamed: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
After the ceremony, the emperor waved his hand in return. The city was noisy, the gongs and drums exploded, and the sky went dark. The emperor glanced at the prince, princess, and concubine, and smiled: "You don’t have to be polite, go play by yourself, today I No blame."
These princes, princesses, and princesses just got up to play. Some five or six-year-old princes and princesses are quarreling together, which is a bit more lively and more human than usual.
The imperial city looked around as a large square. The **** and guards of the palace drove an ox cart and carried fireworks, which could be set off at the emperor's order.
Rows of streets in the distance, at this time the red lanterns illuminate, lighting up the night view of the capital, you can clearly see the distant streets, lanterns, fireworks, and the lively crowds coming and going.
These are interesting, but it’s just like seeing more. The emperor only watched the city for a while, turning around to admire the lanterns in the city. This year’s lanterns have a lot more styles than in previous years, and the riddles are also interesting. The emperor looked and nodded, and the **** was laughing while looking at the scene.
The emperor walked all the way. He no longer had a queen mother or a queen. At this time, the highest status of the concubine was the imperial concubine acting as the empress. From time to time, there were concubines who followed up. He was saying that he was happy on weekdays. The emperor suddenly remembered. One person asked: "Where did the princess go?"
A trembling **** stepped forward: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess led the little princess and the guards to go outside to admire the lanterns. The youngest dare not stop."
Hearing this, the emperor's face changed: "How can the royal nobles go to such a lantern fair easily? If something happens, what can be done, call it back quickly."
The words of the emperor came, and the voice of the princess came: "Your Majesty, why are you angry? I just went out for a lantern, and I have come back."
The princess came, with the sheriff beside her, and the little sheriff held a lantern and couldn't put it down.
Seeing the princess, the emperor scolded, "Why are you so careless?"
This is my only young girl. Fu Ma died because of his great cause. She only had one daughter. She was mostly worried. If it was really cursing, the eldest princess smiled and said, "Emperor brother, I just went out to have fun, yes. Guards, guards, are you still worried about me?"
"Your Majesty!" Hearing the words of the eldest princess, the emperor felt helpless and said sternly.
This young girl of my own, usually dotes on the most. After marriage, she has a good relationship with Fuma. After the death of her self-associated groom, this sister's personality is a little bit changeable. She acts on her identity and adds some money to be extravagant. It does not involve major events. , Can tolerate it, after all, I only have one sister.
"Brother Emperor, don't scare me on this holiday." The eldest princess pretended to be frightened. She was gradually middle-aged and looked like a little bird.
"I really can't do anything with you." The emperor smiled bitterly, and if he didn't want to reprimand him, he turned his face and asked, "Princess, you have gone out and messed around enough, what good things do you have when you come back so happy?"
"Your Majesty, of course there are good things. Look at what I'm looking for." The princess handed over a scroll of manuscripts with ink fragrance. It was just written. The emperor said, "I found something good and dedicated it to me. "
said he took it and looked at it.
"The laughter was full of fragrance, and the crowd looked for him thousands of times, suddenly looking back, but the person was there, the lights were dim."
I was still smiling at first reading, and when I read him thousands of times in the crowd, my eyebrows were frowning-I met the queen when I was a teenager, the warmth of serving without hands, the delicate hands of the soup, and sometimes reading documents, Suddenly, I realized that the queen was still sitting embroidering, watching her tenderness...
For a moment, the emperor was stunned and stunned... It seemed that the queen’s voice and face looked like yesterday. When she remembered that she was determined to rebel, she had a calm expression and lowered her eyebrows and said: "How can I intervene in the big matter decided by the father? If you can succeed, your concubine will only follow you to enjoy the blessing. If you can’t, naturally you will only follow you."
Everything in a blink of an eye fell to that drizzle dusk, she reluctantly gave her last look...Five years have passed in a blink of an eye, these distressed past events-he deliberately forgot, but only reminded, immediately so clear, Brightly, he immediately oozes tears, wipes it quickly, and turns: "Princess, let's go shopping alone!"
The old **** stepped forward: "Your Majesty is not allowed."
The emperor said with a straight face: "I can't talk to the eldest princess alone, is there anyone else here to assassinate me?"
The imperial concubine was on one side, with some expressions looking at the elder princess inexplicably. The emperor’s connivance and respect for the eldest princess was really enviable. She looked at the scroll that he had brought up. The emperor had the same expression in his dream just now. Shocked.
After a few steps, the emperor held the scroll and asked, "Who did it?"
"Yingzhou Jieyuan Pei Ziyun." The eldest princess replied softly. The expression of the emperor's looking back just now fell in her eyes, knowing that this word has touched the emperor's heart. I don't know why, there is no joy, but some Distressed, the emperor is actually a kind of love, but it seems too extravagant for the emperor's profession.
"Pei Ziyun, Pei Ziyun, but Pei Ziyun who is about to drink in Yingzhou?" The emperor thought for a while before remembering that he had also heard of Pei Ziyun's name.
"Yes, it is this person. I met this person just now. I pointed to the lantern riddle and asked him to guess it. After a while, I guessed it. With this word, I also felt as if I saw Zhen Lang, this man is really agile." The princess said.
"This person has such talents and rushed to the capital before the spring. He must have come to be admitted to the Jinshi, not to beg the princess to take a shortcut. In fact, based on this word alone, I have to take the middle. A three tripod." The emperor seemed to be true and hypothetical, his expression on his face could not be seen clearly, just listening to the tone, he seemed to be in a good mood, but he seemed to be in a bad mood.
"Hey, I'm afraid you won't be able to take it, your Majesty. This child has entered the Taoist school. This time I am really asking me to do something, but it is not about the imperial examination..." The princess said openly, neither hidden.
The emperor took a look around when he heard it. When it comes to this, his feelings are no longer there, so he interrupted, and he muttered for a while and said, "Tell me after the banquet. Now the lantern festival, let’s have fun, don’t talk about it. Matter."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The eldest princess saluted.
With the emperor’s order, fireworks bloomed in the square, and the entire imperial city gate became a sea of fireworks, red, yellow, blue, and purple. Beautiful fireworks filled the sky.
A little princess was held in her arms by a concubine~IndoMTL.com~ My little eyes looked at the fireworks in the distance, and muttered: "It's so beautiful, I want to watch it every day."
A slightly older prince replied: "Sister, this is only once a year, and it depends on the next year."
"Mother concubine, I don't, I don't, I want to watch it every day." The princess held her concubine's clothes and acted like a baby, and the concubine felt helplessly and coaxed.
Lantern Festival, an annual grand scene, with the fireworks rising in front of the imperial city in the capital, the people who originally admired the lanterns all looked towards the sky.
Pei Ziyun was going back down the street, and looked up at the fireworks in the sky, Wan returned to the earth, speechless, for a long time, and shook his head: "The princess agreed, and the thousand taels of gold must be delivered tomorrow morning. , And Ji Shi Lang, also have to offer a hundred taels of gold."
"All the remaining gold should be replaced by silver tickets." Thinking about it, Pei Ziyun left the inexplicable melancholy and headed home.
After the fireworks were burning, the **** stepped forward to report: "Your Majesty, I hope that your Majesty will move to have a banquet."
As the ritual music sounded, the emperor got up and everyone got up and entered the palace.
At this time, the court ladies and eunuchs are all taking turns serving dishes, keeping the temperature so as not to get cold.
Princess followed the emperor’s side and led the small princess to take a seat. Following the emperor’s order, it was a banquet. It was lively and joyous. From time to time, the emperor would assess adult princes, poems, and articles. They were just random and wrong. Don't criticize, you will be rewarded if you answer well.
After the banquet, the emperor got up and entered the royal study room. Later, a little **** handed over the sober soup. The emperor entered the book case. A pile of Pei Ziyun materials was already piled up on the case. He picked it up and looked at it later. Said: "Princess Xuan Chang comes in."
"Xuan, the eldest princess will see you." The little **** at the door shouted loudly, and one of the eunuchs led the eldest princess into the imperial study room.
