Chapter 174: Palace Banquet III
At the end of the palace banquet, the palace maid and eunuch removed the plate, and the sound of the piano sounded in the hall and danced. The Emperor www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion and the ministers close to him talked.
There are also talented sons and talented women who come to the front hall to perform for the emperor and queen.
When it was almost in the middle of the unitary, fireworks rang out outside the Taihe Gate, and everyone went to the Taihe Gate with the emperor and queen to watch the fireworks on the city tower.
Yu Nianniang didn't know when the fireworks of this dynasty began, but standing on the city wall, clusters of gorgeous fireworks flew into the sky, and the brilliant brilliance was scattered in the starry sky, and the last light was colorful in front of everyone's eyes, and disappeared in an instant.
The little eunuchs who set off fireworks in the square braved the deafening sound and risked being injured by the fireworks.
The colorful starry sky illuminates the entire palace.
The chamberlain moved to the seat to serve the emperor, and the two sat side by side, watching this lively Chinese New Year's Eve with satisfaction.
The princes stand behind them, and at this time, in addition to looking at the excitement, they are filial piety.
And the ladies and wives, and the girls were even more happy to watch the fireworks in the sky.
Yu Nianniang took advantage of no one's attention and quietly went down the city tower.
There were guards standing under the city tower, and the palace people carried things to the city tower in an orderly manner.
Yu Nianniang had already taken a closer look when she came out of Kunning Palace just now, and walked in from Kunning Palace to the Imperial Garden, and the east and west sides were the West Sixth Palace and the East Sixth Palace respectively.
Therefore, that side should be the inner court, and the Baohe Hall already belongs to the outer court.
Obviously, the place she was looking for was not in the inner court. The outer dynasty is so big, where it is, Yu Nianniang doesn't know at all.
She turned around and entered the Taihe Gate, and walked towards the Baohe Palace, where the piano music was elegant, and there were people who didn't like to watch the fireworks and stayed in the Baohe Palace.
Along the way, the patrolling guards encountered two or three rounds, but there were many people tonight, as long as they didn't walk around, no one usually cared at this time.
A gust of night wind blew, Yu Nianniang picked up the cloak of the silver fox light fur on her body, and a purse fell to the ground between her hands.
Yu Nianniang didn't notice it at all, and the two little palace maids who passed by her hurriedly stopped her: "This nobleman! ”
Yu Nianniang stopped.
One of the little palace maids picked up the purse on the ground and handed it respectfully: "Noble, your things have dropped." ”
"Thank you." Yu Nianniang smiled slightly, reached out and took the purse handed over by the little palace maid, and suddenly her body shook, and the little palace maid hurriedly supported her: "Be careful, noble!" ”
Yu Nianniang has stabilized her body.
"Your Excellency, are you alright?" The two little palace maids cared about the way.
"No problem." Yu Nianniang stood up straight and put the purse back into the sleeve cage.
Seeing that she was really fine, the two little palace maids went in the direction of the Taihe Palace.
Yu Nianniang frowned.
Turned around and walked towards the Taihe Gate, and then returned to the city tower, the fireworks continued, I don't know if the emperor was too happy tonight, he had been talking with several ministers in the city tower while watching the fireworks, and the queen watched for a while and was accompanied back to Kunning Palace by Mrs. Ning Anhou. It wasn't until the fireworks were about to end that the emperor was accompanied by several ministers to go down the tower.
After watching the fireworks, everyone can return to the Bohol Hall to continue tasting wine and chatting.
Yu Nianniang didn't see Mrs. Wei and the others, she saw Wei Hongshan and Yu Taifu, Ning Anhou and others, accompanied the emperor to the Baohe Palace, and then went down the city tower.
Without the fireworks, the red lantern in front of the gate is particularly conspicuous, and when you walk under the city tower, your figure can slowly disappear in the darkness of the square.
She already knew where the sacrificial platform and the Heavenly Dao Courtyard were, just outside the noon gate, on the chessboard street, before the Daqing Gate. I didn't even notice it before I came.
Yu Nianniang secretly felt that she was careless.
The reason why I didn't dare to go just now was because to go to Qipan Street, you had to pass through the square of Taihemen, go out of Shenwu Gate, and then go out of Wumen. The only way from Taihe Gate to Shenwu Gate is through the square in front of Taihe Gate, and there is no second shortcut.
Yu Nianniang walked calmly towards the Shenwu Gate, and in the empty square, she was particularly conspicuous, but her demeanor was natural and calm, and when she passed through the square, she met a team of patrolling guards and no one stepped forward to interrogate.
There are two guards in the Shenwu Gate, it is a long road after the Shenwu Gate, and it is out of the noon gate after the road, the right is the Sheji Altar, and the left is the Taimiao.
Yu Nianniang walked to the right, the place where the royal family worshiped the gods in the Sheji Altar, and she saw a three-story tower through the Sheji Altar, and the three words "Sacrifice Table" were clearly written on the door.
The door of the altar was locked, and she stepped back and stood on the steps to look up, three stories high, but the top of the pointed tower seemed to stand in the night sky, looking mysterious in the dark night.
Yu Nianniang walked up the steps and touched the big black lock on the door, she rubbed her fingers, and it was a layer of misty gray.
Yu Nianniang frowned.
Could it be that this altar is closed on weekdays?
So what should she do now? It doesn't seem like there's much to see, but for some reason there's always a desire to go in and see.
Yu Nianniang touched her chin and tilted her head to look at the big black lock.
"What are you doing?"
In the dark night, a cold, rough voice sounded.
Yu Nianniang was startled, and when she turned around, she saw Chi Langyi standing at the foot of the steps and looking at her coldly.
Yu Nianniang's eyes widened and she exhaled. For the first time, I felt that this person's voice was ugly, not the kind of ugly sound, but when you were standing in the dark and concentrating on something, a hoarse and low voice without temperature suddenly appeared, and everyone would be startled, and the trembling that protruded from the bottom of the heart made people very unhappy. If it's a normal voice, at least you know it's a person when you hear it.
The voice......
Yu Nianniang thought of the heavy and terrible story of the old demon of Montenegro told to children in the dark night, if it was a child just now, he must have been paralyzed by fright?
Chi Langyi looked at Yu Nianniang standing on the steps and didn't know what she was thinking, and her indifferent expression became colder.
Yu Nianniang came back to her senses.
Chi Langyi was wearing a gray coat with a jade crown tied to her hair, and she didn't know if it was Yu Nianniang's illusion, obviously she couldn't see the expression on her face clearly in the night, but she felt that Chi Langyi's eyes were glowing with a faint green light, like a wolf, which made people frightened.
She pursed her lips, walked down the steps, stood in front of Chi Langyi, glared at him, and said, "People are scary and scared to death!" ”
"Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door!" Chi Langyi stared at Yu Nianniang's face tightly, not letting go of any expression on her face.
Yu Nianniang didn't care whether he could see it or not, rolled her eyes at him in the night, and said, "I didn't do anything wrong, so I'm not afraid." ”
"And what were you afraid of?" Chi Lang Yi said.
"And you're a ghost?" Yu Nianniang asked rhetorically.
Chi Langyi frowned.
Yu Nianniang patted the ash on her hand, looked left and right, and found that she could go out directly not far in front of her, without going around to the Sheji Altar.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Chi Langyi followed closely.
Yu Nianniang walked out of the sacrificial platform, turned left, and walked towards the noon gate. Although she is not familiar with Chi Langyi, she still figured out some of his temperament during the days when she got along with him on the way to the capital, if he really wanted to care about it at this time, I am afraid he would not let himself leave so freely. I've been following him now, I'm afraid it's more of a curiosity.
Yu Nianniang simply said: "You follow me? ”
Chi Langyi: "What do you want to go in and find?" ”
Yu Nianniang: "I didn't expect you to have such a hobby!" ”
Chi Langyi: "What is the purpose of your entry into the palace?" ”
Yu Nianniang: "This is thanks to the gift of the queen." ”
"Who are you?"
"Lord Shizi, your voice seems to have become more ugly!"
"Don't think that if you don't say it, everything will be fine, I have a way to know, and then you will have no chance if you want to justify yourself. Don't blame me for not reminding you! ”
"Lord Shizi, I think your words seem to have changed more than when I first met you."
“……”
"Hey, it turns out that this road is so easy to find, I didn't even know where to go back to the Taihe Hall before?"
"Don't play tricks!"
“…… To the left, or to the right? ”
"Go straight!"
"I mean Donghua Gate on the left or right."
“……”
"Hey......, I'm a little confused, should it be east or west?"
"East."
"I'm talking about the General's Palace."
The prince's eyebrows were cold, and his muscles burst out: "Shut up!" ”
……
"Talk back!"
"Answer the question!"
"Lord Shizi, didn't you tell me to shut up?"
"You're ............, good!"
