Chapter 246: Lantern Festival
Eeuth, February 8, 748 AH. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Lantern Festival of the Zhao family is also an annual event in China, and this tradition has begun in Bianjing nearly a thousand years ago to show that the Zhao family and the people have fun.
To this day, the annual Lantern Festival is unprecedented.
After Zhao Xi's abdication and the establishment of the World Government of Aeus, the local government of Huaxia District of the World Government approved the Zhao family to continue to use the Palace Museum to hold the Lantern Festival during the annual Lantern Festival.
Every year on this day, the Zhao family becomes the master of this palace again – even if it is only for one day.
This time for the Lantern Festival, Su Yongming also received an invitation from the crown prince Zhao Hui, and he could take his family to the VIP area to watch the Lantern Festival. In the VIP area, they can get close to the children of the Zhao family and talk and laugh with top celebrities, so this invitation can be said to be very face-saving.
But Su Yongming also paid a lot for this. He had already handed over half of the precious metals he received last time to Zhao Hui and gave them away for free.
The rest of the part, he used to exchange for contribution points, and now he has more than 6 million contribution points, and he has been successfully promoted to level 2 permission.
After that, he didn't plan to continue to exchange the contribution value, it was much more cost-effective to take the precious metals to Zhao Hui and sell them, and then buy mecha and warships from Zhao Hui at cost price. Although Zhao Hui charges a 10% handling fee...... But letting him earn this is also the meaning of the question.
Now Su Yongming is more interested in when Zhao Hui plans to let Xiyuan Temple Meihua make the "Jade Crushing Plan" public?
In other words, when will the Zhao family accumulate enough savings to dare to leave the world government alone?
The Lantern Festival starts at 7 o'clock in the evening, and before that, it is the Zhao family's dinner, which is mainly to entertain the loyal ministers of the Zhao family, and the queen of the king with different surnames, such as Han Jingjing, Yue Tianlin, Yang Wen and other male elders in the family, Su Yongming is not qualified to attend.
So Su Yongming had dinner at home.
In order not to delay the Lantern Festival, dinner was eaten very early on this day, starting at half past four. After dinner, Su Yunxin, Tang Youmei and Su Xiaoya took Su Yunxin's suspended airship to the Yunzhou Palace Museum first, and Su Yongming drove the suspended flying car to pick up Xiyuan Temple Qianhui.
Chie Saionji had already moved out of her home in Saionji, and Su Yongming helped her rent a separate small courtyard on the outskirts of the Demon City.
It's expensive, but the most important thing is to make Chie comfortable and not disturbed. This can be regarded as a golden house, right?
But the relationship between the two is still in a state of inexplicability. Su Yongming would visit her every day, but not necessarily overnight. Su Yunxin had also learned about the existence of Qianhui from a certain channel, and had a shallow conversation with Su Yongming, but he didn't interfere, and only asked Su Yongming a sentence: "Are you going to give her a ticket?" ”
Su Yongming did not discuss with Su Yunxin about preparing to buy a warship for the time being. In fact, when the battleship arrives, the ticket is a very indifferent thing, and you can form a fleet to send your important relatives away from the war.
For example, the Zhao clan must have arranged such a fleet. Some of the other top clubs are no different.
Su Yongming had already informed Qianhui in advance, and when he landed in Qiane's front yard in the hovering car, Qianhui was already dressed up, wearing light makeup, and waiting with a light smile on his face.
She wore a classical lady's dress in the style of Tang costume, sat quietly in the co-pilot's seat, and smiled at Su Yongming: "I'm a little nervous, that person doesn't know if he will participate in tonight's Lantern Festival." ”
Su Yongming was stunned for a while before she reacted, she was worried that the son of the Zhao family who had been engaged to her would also be present, and she was worried that something unpleasant would happen.
"It's okay," Su Yongming smiled and started the hovering speeder, which quickly lifted into the air, "I have a good relationship with Zhao Hui." ”
Qiane stopped talking, and she didn't show a frightened look, but her eyes were always so clear that she couldn't hide her thoughts, and Su Yongming could see that she was still worried.
By the time we arrived at the parking area outside the Palace Museum, it was already half past six in the evening. Su Yongming parked the car and took Qianhui's hand and walked to the palace museum.
Outside the museum, there are already a sea of people, and all kinds of colorful lanterns are hung on both sides of the road, which are all purchased at Zhao's expense.
They struggled through the crowd, and in a moment they were sweating. Su Yongming always held Chie's soft little hand tightly, and Chie gave him an indifferent and sweet smile from time to time, making him feel unspeakably relieved.
When they arrived at the entrance of the museum, the security guard took out his smart assistant and scanned it at Su Yongming and Qianhui, verified their identities and let them in.
At about 8 p.m., the current head of the Zhao family, the crown prince Zhao Hui and other Zhao men, as well as their wives and concubines, would go to the city gate to greet the people. Prior to this, the Zhao clan and their invited guests would enjoy the lanterns inside the palace museum.
Inside the museum, there are also colorful lights, and the treetops on both sides of the road are hung with colorful lanterns, which is full of joy.
The number of people invited by the Zhao family to the palace museum to enjoy the lanterns is generally about 3,000 to 4,000 every year, and it is sparse when scattered throughout the museum.
So along the way, although they can meet some other lantern admirers, they will not be crowded. From time to time, they will see a familiar face, and most of the people who can appear here are either rich or noble, either loyal ministers of the Zhao family, or celebrities and political dignitaries with a high appearance rate.
Although the Su family was also a member of the so-called upper class society before, it was not up to the grade, and they had never been invited to participate in this occasion.
And now that Su Yongming and Zhao Hui have a relationship, the Su family will gradually begin to join the ranks of this handful and enter this top circle.
Su Yongming called out Xiaoyue, contacted his parents, and learned that his parents and Xiaoya were enjoying the lanterns by the lake. They also turned around and walked towards the lake.
It's winter, and it's getting dark early, but the lights still illuminate the palace museum as bright as day, so you don't have to lose sight of the road. The cost of holding this grand lantern festival, including the decoration inside and outside the palace museum, is at least 10 billion, which makes people have to sigh at Zhao's wealth.
The two did not hurry, but watched the lanterns while walking, and guessed a lantern riddle from time to time. Walking in front of Cining Palace, a slender figure that was both familiar and unfamiliar passed in front of Su Yongming's eyes, he lost his mind for a while, his hands were unconsciously forced, and Qianhui softly exhaled in pain.
"Ah, sorry, I just saw someone." Su Yongming reacted and apologized.
"Who's that?" Qiane looked in the direction of Su Yongming's line of sight.
Su Yongming was silent for a moment and whispered, "The princess of the Zhao family." ”
