Chapter 422: The Light Is Like Day
Under the strong admonition of the officials and those courtiers who tried their best to dissociate themselves, the day when Xiao Yan left Beijing to go to the fiefdom of Anping was so simple and without a sense of ceremony was set, the sixteenth day of the first month, the first day of the new year, it was destined that even this last imperial gate to listen to the government would not be possible.
Lively days always pass very quickly, as the snow gradually stops, the first month of the fifteenth Lantern Festival will come as scheduled, just as a good beginning always needs a good ending to put the finishing touch, the Lantern Festival is even more lively and prosperous than Chinese New Year's Eve.
Because the first grandson of the East Palace is about to land, this happy event seems to have diluted the misfortune of King Luo being demoted to peace, and even the emperor is extremely happy to order this year's Lantern Festival to be celebrated by the whole world.
I saw that in the early morning of the Lantern Festival, when the mist had not yet faded and the night was still shrouded, the attendants had already begun to hang red lanterns and silks, decorating the entire imperial city with a little more warmth and popularity than usual.
At nightfall, each city wall is lit up one after another big red tassel silk lamps connected into a line, hanging straight down in the air, extending to the city wall, looking away, whether it is outside the city or inside the city, the royal family or the people's homes, all hang the lanterns high, so that one after another gentle and colorful halo illuminates the entire Jingling.
At this moment, on the most lively Suzaku Street in Jingling, it is the traffic and the dragon, only to see that the vendors and taverns everywhere have picked up all kinds of lanterns at the door, a road extends endlessly, there are dragon lanterns, yarn lanterns, flower blue lanterns, dragon and phoenix lanterns, angular lanterns, tree and ground lamps, ceremonial lanterns, mushroom lanterns, or painted landscapes, or painted flowers and birds, or painted fish and insects, or painted ladies and beauties, each of which is delicate and gorgeous, and the warm and beautiful halo falls on the ground, and is sprinkled on the body of every lantern passerby.
Among them, there is a low-key but not losing identity carriage is slowly driving in the crowded crowd, accompanied by several young young daughters next to this carriage, and the most eye-catching is the man with a cold face in front of the car, but with picturesque facial features, people have a heart, want to come forward to talk, but for the indifferent temperament timid.
When they arrived at the most lively place, the little girls in the general corner were wearing new clothes, holding red sugar gourds in their hands, and the realistic sugar people, while licking, they raised their mouths and laughed, and there seemed to be only joy and happiness in their eyes.
Xu is this laughter touched the people in the carriage, only to see that the curtain of the carriage slightly opened a small opening, the breeze blowing, with the fragrance of the first peach blossom breeze probe, the curtain of the carriage suddenly blown higher, and behind the curtain revealed, but is a young age, beautiful girl, compared to the man in front of the car, the girl's eyes are much more agile, if the man is the eternal heavy night, the girl should be a flash in the night, but the shining stars.
The girl was dressed up decently and delicately, and it seemed that she was a girl from an official and aristocratic family, and when she raised her eyes at this moment, she couldn't help but look at the man's body, and at that moment, she saw that the girl's lips like red cherry blossoms evoked an undisguised smile, and her eyes were a little more vivid than Fang Cai, as if a spring breeze was blowing across the green and jade-like lake, and there were layers of shallow ripples.
Let the passers-by who occasionally catch a glimpse can't help but be a little stupid.
"There are many people outside the car, and the county lord still lowers the curtain of the car. ”
The county lord of Qiyang was slightly stunned when she heard this, and in a blink of an eye, she saw Han Zhen who was walking in front of her turn his head, although his words were low, but it was difficult to hide his respect, almost instinctively, her hand was slightly loosened, and the printed car curtain suddenly fell, isolating the world outside the car, and at that moment, she was shocked to see Han Zhen's eyes coldly shot at the few young men who were looking at him idiotically.
"Poof—"
Almost at the same time, Qiyang burst out laughing.
Han Zhenfang indifferently retracted his gaze, and heard the sound of lifting the curtain in his ears again, and when he instinctively turned his head, he saw that this time the girl was no longer reserved and only opened a slit, but playfully propped her hands on the frame of the car, and her eyes were as smart as Feihong that people forgot to look away for a while.
"Grandpa Huang asked you to accompany me out of the palace to enjoy the lanterns, and I wronged you. ”
Hearing this unfounded sentence, Han Zhen lowered his chin slightly and respectfully, and then said loudly: "Don't dare to be lowly, it is the duty of the lowly and Jinyi guards to protect the safety of the county lord." ”
When the words fell, Han Zhen's ears once again floated with a girl's rhetorical question, as if the jade hammer hit the jade plate, making people's heartstrings tremble slightly.
"Just duty?"
When she looked up, the sparkle in the girl's eyes carried a sly smile, which made Han Zhen, who had always been indifferent and indifferent, stunned and forgot to reply.
Looking at the rare stunned person in front of him, the smile on the corner of Qiyang's lips became a little more obvious, and in the blink of an eye, outside the car window, there was a flower market with night lights like day, and the old trees on both sides of the road were full of lanterns and silks.
"Come down with me. ”
The girl's beautiful voice sounded again, Han Zhenfang looked up, saw the girl's eyes waiting slightly, and was about to speak, so he heard the girl in front of him.
"County Lord, Lord Han, there are too many people in front, I'm afraid I can't do it. ”
As soon as the words fell, the girl's eyes sparkled with stars looking at Han Zhen.
"Then please ask the county lord to move and get out of the car, and be escorted by the lowly officer. ”
Seeing that the man outside the car bowed his head slightly, but he did not look humble at all, the corners of Qiyang's lips were excitedly provoked: "Okay." ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard the curtain of the car being lifted, and the maid beside her hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out her hand, and the girl took her slender hand lightly, and walked down cautiously with the tail of her skirt.
When Han Zhen Qiyang walked beside him, he saw the two maids around him silently take a few steps back, and in the blink of an eye, it seemed that there were only two of them left.
Even though he knew that there were still many Jinyi guards in this crowd secretly following, Han Zhen's heart couldn't help but move for this sudden "solitude", and for a while, he found that he was a little cramped that was difficult to suppress.
"With me, you're so uncomfortable? or—"
The girl beside her paused abruptly and looked straight at the person in front of her: "You don't like being with me?"
"It's not—"
When that low and familiar voice sounded instinctively, Han Zhen couldn't help but pause, looking at the smile of the girl in front of him, he realized that Fang Cai himself blurted out without hesitation, and even blurted out the words with a little eagerness to justify.
"Ah, fireworks—"
As if he hadn't seen Han Zhen's strange appearance, Qiyang looked at the fireworks on the stone bridge in the distance with a smile on the corner of his lips, raised his finger and said, "Let's go over there." ”
As soon as the words fell, before the person next to him could answer, Qiyang took the lead in walking towards him, and Han Zhen, who came back to his senses, saw the girl's playful back, and immediately followed, as if he was afraid that the girl would be drowned in the crowd and disappear in front of his eyes, and his steps were a little faster.
