Fifteenth is the Lantern Festival, but also a rare day to enjoy with the people, this night is brightly lit, every household hangs these lanterns in front of the door, and the lanterns on the street will be very lively.

People come and go to enjoy the lanterns, guess the lantern riddles, there are river lanterns in the river to pray for good health, and of course, the most anticipated is the fireworks outside the palace.

On this night, fireworks will be set off outside the Chaoyang Gate, and the emperor and queen will join hands on the top of the city tower to watch with the people.

You must know that the emperor and queen are god-like characters in the hearts of ordinary people, and most people will never see each other in their lives, and now they have such an opportunity to see, even if they see a figure from a distance, they are also ancestors who have burned high incense, so there are people waiting outside the Chaoyang Gate early, waiting for the time to see the demeanor of the emperor and queen.

So after dinner, Mo Yan put on the queen's formal dress under the service of Moon Shadow Bizhu, tied the queen's phoenix crown on his head, and went to Chaoyang Gate.

The red phoenix robe embroidered with colorful phoenix wings is about to fly, long drag behind her, she walks forward step by step, the phoenix on the phoenix robe swings with her walking, as if soaring for nine days.

She painted a flame-like flower with danzhu on her forehead, and lightly painted her red lips on her eyebrows, and there was a majesty between her eyebrows, dignified and beautiful.

When she arrived at Chaoyangmen, Li was already waiting for her there, and when she saw her walk in front of her, she smiled happily and said, "Mo Yan, you are here, let's go to the city tower to watch the fireworks together!"

Mo Yan didn't answer his words, didn't even look at him, ignored him directly, and went up to the city tower first past him.

The smile on Duan Li's face froze, and he wanted to reach out to hold her when Mo Yan crossed him, but he stopped when his hand was halfway out, slowly clenched his fist, looked at her back, and followed her footsteps up to the city tower.

Mo Yan went up to the city tower and looked outside the city gate, which was already crowded with people, Duan Li quickly walked to her side and looked at the crowd below.

There are also people downstairs who notice the emperor and queen on the city tower, first the sparse and bright people kneel down and say "Your Majesty Queen Wanfu", and then as more people see them, more and more people kneel down, and finally all the people kneel down and shout: "Your Majesty Queen Wanfu." ”

Duan Li whispered a few words to Li Fu, Li Fu nodded again and again, and then stood on the wall and sang loudly to the city: "Your Majesty has a will, you all get up, today's Lantern Festival, I have fun with the people, no need to be formal." ”

"Thank you for your grace. The people of the city stood up, but they were obviously restrained, not as lively as just now, occasionally peeking at the people on the city tower, talking in a whisper.

At this time, the fireworks outside the city were lit and bloomed brightly in the air, attracting everyone's attention, including Mo Yan's gaze, she looked at the colorful fireworks in the sky, beautiful but quickly disappeared.

"It's so beautiful!" Mo Yan said with a smile on his lips as he looked at the sky.

"yes! Duan Li looked at Mo Yan's side face stupidly, and muttered a repeat.

So Mo Yan looked at the fireworks in the air, and Duan Li looked at her.

When the fireworks ended, Mo Yan came back to her senses and saw that Duan Li was looking at her, she frowned slightly, as if she was a little displeased, but she didn't say anything.

After the fireworks, I went to the Xinghe River to put river lanterns, in fact, it was very simple, that is, the emperor and queen each wrote a wish for each other and put it in the river lantern, and put it together in the Xinghe River to drift with the waves.

If someone picks up the emperor's river lantern and sends it back to the palace, they can get the emperor's reward, but the difference is that the emperor's river lantern will be handed over to the queen, and the queen will read the wishes on the note inside, and the queen's river lantern will also be handed over to the emperor, and the emperor will read the wishes she wrote.

On the bank of the Xing River, Mo Yan and Duan Li each wrote a sentence on a note and put it into the river lantern prepared by the palace people, and finally put the river lantern into the river, mixed with the river lantern put by the people, and drifted away with the river, turning into starlight and echoing the sky.

The style of the river lantern is an ordinary lotus lamp, which is not outstanding in a large group of colorful river lanterns, the only difference is that the base is engraved with the words "Xiuwu Yonghe".

After putting out the river lantern, Mo Yan and Duan Li returned to the palace in a jade chariot, during which Duan Li talked to Mo Yan several times, but Mo Yan ignored them.

He stopped in a daze, it turned out that the most painful thing was not that they were sitting together, but that they were sitting together, but she could not see his existence in her eyes, and regarded him as nothing.

Mo Yan went straight back to Jinfeng Palace when he arrived in the palace, Duan Li watched her go away, until he couldn't see her figure before he slowly retracted his gaze, and said to Li Fu on the side: "Send someone to find it, and bring the river lantern put by the queen to me." ”

Although it was not long before they put the river lantern, it was not easy to find the one she put among the thousands of river lanterns, and they couldn't find it with great fanfare, so they still didn't find it in the end.

When Duan Li received this news, he felt a little lost in his heart, and it seemed that he could only wait for someone who was destined to find this lamp and then return it to the palace.

Duan Li waited for three days before the palace people announced, saying that someone was asking to see him with the queen's river lantern, Duan Li heard that he couldn't wait to meet him, but it turned out that the person who picked up the river lantern was an acquaintance, his imperial historian He Qingzhou, of course, he is still a cloth cloth now.

But he didn't have time to pay attention to He Qingzhou now, he held the river lamp in his hand and slowly rotated, the corners of his mouth rose, and he took out the note in the river lamp, a little eager to know what Mo Yan wrote on it to himself.

The note reads: Jun Qing Zhengming, Guotai and the people are safe. A very good but very perfunctory sentence, but Duan Li still couldn't stop being happy when he saw it.

He looked at it again and again, carefully touching the font on it with his hand, "Your Majesty, Haiyan County has paid tribute to a few shark yarns, do you want the slaves to send them to the Golden Phoenix Palace?"

"Send it. Duan Li nodded, and then stopped Li Fu and said, "Don't say that it was given by me, just say that it was given to the queen by the palace." ”

"The minions know. After Li Fu finished speaking, he withdrew and went to do it, he knew that Duan Li was afraid that Mo Yan was sent by him, so he threw it out again.

When Li Fu went to Jinfeng Palace to deliver something, he mentioned in passing that Mo Yan's river lantern had been picked up and sent back to the palace, and Duan Li was very happy to see what she wrote.

Mo Yan didn't speak, just glanced at him, making Li Fu's words choke back, he knew that Mo Yan didn't want to listen, so he didn't say more, for fear that he would say too much wrong, and finally helped.

After Li Fu said goodbye, Moon Shadow asked, "Niangniang, your river lanterns have been sent back to the palace, why haven't you seen Your Majesty's river lanterns come back?"

Mo Yan said indifferently: "Who cares what he wrote, it's best if he can't come back." ”

"It's better to come back, Niangniang is not curious about what His Majesty wrote, I am still a little curious!" Moon Shadow said with a grin.

They didn't know that Duan Li's river lantern had fallen into the hands of a person.

In the Taiwei Mansion, he sent a river lantern in his hand and said, "My lord, the thing has been found." ”

"Didn't anyone find out!" Qin Xiangzhong asked, he didn't know what his psychology was, so he sent someone to find Duan Li's river lantern back.

"No, the subordinates are very careful, no one will find out. The person said.

"En!" Qin nodded to the head, "Very good, you can step down! ”

"No!" the man saluted and left.

Qin Xiangzhong took the river lamp given to him by his subordinates, and gently rubbed the font on the base of the river lamp with his palm, which was "Xiuwu Yonghe".

He took out the note inside and opened it to check, it read: May I be safe and smooth, and I will have no worries for a lifetime.

After Qin Xiangzhong finished reading it, he refolded the note with an inexplicable expression, put it back in the lamp, and walked back and forth in the study with the river lantern, as if he was thinking about what to do with the river lantern.

In the end, he opened the dark compartment of the study and put the river lamp inside.
