Chapter 142: Candle Night in the Cave Room VS Shangyuan Lantern Festival

This year's winter seems to be colder and longer than in previous years, and when the Shangyuan Festival comes, there is still no spring.

Shangyuan Festival, also known as the Lantern Festival, is one of the most lively festivals today, and even the officials of the Great Song Dynasty will have fun with the people on this day, and they can't help it all night.

Last year, when he enjoyed the lanterns on the Shangyuan Festival in Tokyo, he was also made a big fuss by Liangshan, which scared Zhao Ji for several days and did not dare to go to the court, which many people still remember vividly.

And this year's Lantern Festival is also not only about viewing the lanterns, but also about the prince's wedding.

Shangyuan Festival is an auspicious day of the zodiac!

This is impossible in the later generations, because the first and fifteenth days of the first lunar month in the later generations are the days of worshipping ghosts and gods, and no one will marry on this day.

But for the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, Qin Tianjian thinks that it is an auspicious day of the zodiac, who to reason with?

God doesn't care about this anyway.

Moreover, the marriage of the prince of the prison country is still five at a time, and this matter has been spread to various states and counties of the Great Song Dynasty with the newspapers used by Wu, and many good people around Tokyo have come to see the grand ceremony.

Is it lively?

At least in the eyes of everyone except Zhao Huan, it is lively!

Well! Except for Zhao Huan, because Zhao Huan only felt - tired!

It's tiring!

I slept three hours a day, practiced swords for three hours, practiced halberds for three hours, and dealt with important military and political affairs for three hours, and I have persisted for half a month, but I am not tired today.

In the evening, Zhao Huan finally got rid of the persuasion of Wu Jue, Han Shizhong, and Li Bao, and fled to Funing Palace, lying on his back on the bed and pretending to be dead.

Funing Palace, now his dormitory.

Xie Zhen, Xie Bao, Yu Baosi, and Jiao Ting were confused, and they felt that the whole person was a little short-circuited.

What's the situation?

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince married five wives at once, and ran back to Qingshou Palace alone to hide from Qingjing on a candle night in the cave room?

If it weren't for the bright moon outside, the four of them would have thought that there was thunder rolling in the sky.

That's not appropriate!

But this kind of thing is usually persuaded by Liu Huiniang, and the four of them are not easy to speak!

Liu Huiniang is a bride today......

"Four big brothers!"

The four men were in a dilemma, and five female guards came over and pointed inside.

"Your Highness is inside?"

The four of them nodded their heads one after another.

The five female guards crept to the door and said in a loud voice:

"Ah Lian, are the five princesses still waiting in the new house?"

"Not really!" The other also said loudly, "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't lift the red hijab, I'm afraid that the five Crown Princesses will sit there until dawn!" ”

"Ouch! That's not good, didn't our girl say that she still wants to see the lights? ”

"I can't call a girl! Gotta call Concubine Liu! Concubine Liu said that she had made an appointment to go to see the lights with His Royal Highness......"

"Oh! And what about Your Highness? ”

"I don't know......"

Zhao sat up with a wry smile, secretly scolding himself for being confused and forgetting his business, if he fell asleep like this, no one would take care of him tomorrow.

"You guys, don't make any noise, take it to see you Concubine Liu!"

Zhao Huan shouted angrily, and the women smiled and pulled Zhao Huan away, turned around a few times, and came to the door of a palace.

Qingshou Palace.

Zhao Huan frowned: "How is it Qingshou Palace?" ”

Several female guards said: "What our girl means, His Royal Highness should come to the concubine first!" ”

Zhu Lian?

I only have some impressions, I met five years ago when I made a marriage contract, and I haven't seen each other since.

To be honest, Zhao Huan was more or less resistant in his heart.

He and Liu Huiniang and the other three fell in love first and then got married, but the Zhu sisters were completely arranged marriages.

But on the other hand, this marriage was promised by himself, and there is no reason to snub others.

Forget it, everything has to have a beginning, and since you're here, go in!

Zhao Huan walked into Qingshou Palace, dozens of palace maids lined up on both sides, obviously waiting for a long time, and took Zhao Huan straight to the bed.

The red candle flickered, and a big red figure sat upright on the happy bed.

Zhao Huan waved his hand and asked the palace maids to retreat.

The last thing he can't stand is to sleep and be stared at, regardless of men and women.

Zhao Huan took a gold scale next to him and picked up the red hijab on the woman's head.

The face is as red as jade, dignified and elegant, and his face is full of shame.

It's just too young, only fifteen years old, to start.

"Concubine Zhu! Tokyo City is full of lanterns tonight, and it is very lively, do you want to go and see it? ”

Well?

Zhu Lian was stunned.

This is different from what my mother and Xi Po taught!

Isn't the Spring Festival worth a thousand gold?

Although it is romantic to look at the lanterns, it is comparable to ...... Ah!

Zhao Huan's first sentence was beyond the norm, and she instantly panicked in her heart.

I was nervous for a long time and didn't know how to pick it up.

"I ...... I...... This...... This ......"

Zhao Huan breathed a sigh of relief, laughed, and the worry in his heart receded.

A fifteen-year-old girl, plasticity is still very strong, as long as she has a heart, this harem may not be as she worries.

"Someone! Change the crown princess into civilian clothes, this prince is going to see the lights! ”

……

This scenario is repeated roughly five times.

An hour later, a group of eight small servants and two big men quietly walked out of Donghua Gate and walked onto the street.

If you want to have fun, of course, you can't dress up in an expensive way, it's too eye-catching; It must be dressed up as a rich man's little guy like this, which is not easy to attract attention and no one dares to mess with.

As for the guards, you don't need to bring too much, among the ten people, only three of them don't know martial arts, and the other seven are either strong men or masters, as long as they don't leave Tokyo City, they can go anywhere.

The night sky of Tokyo City today, a piece of red, full of people's voices, there is a lantern every other section in the middle of the road, the small one is as big as Yu Baosi, the big one is like a small building, from Guanyin to the beast, from the pavilion to the flowers and trees, the shape is strange, none of them are the same. There are signs hanging on it, such as Henan Mansion, Chenzhou Mansion, Lichun Courtyard and Wanhualou, which can be regarded as brand promotion in this era.

Naturally, there are delicious and fun things on both sides of the road, and it is good to drink a bowl of hot wontons when it is cold, and it is even better to add a mutton beard cake; Then there are some sugar people, rock sugar gourds, clay figures and mud horses, jewelry, rouge, antique porcelain, calligraphy, painting and jade, etc., as well as dancing guns and sticks, acrobatics and monkeys, everything, no matter what your hobby is, you can always find what you like.

The liveliness of this time and space has a unique style.

"Wow! There are sugar gourds! ”

Zhao Huan was walking by himself, Leng Buding heard a surprised voice from someone behind, and when he looked back, it turned out to be Zhu Xuan, and when he saw Zhao Huan looking back at her, he felt embarrassed.

"Want to eat? Walk! Buy it! ”

Zhao Huan said with a smile, and then Jiao Ting went up and bought ten, one for each person.

This sugar gourd is quite sufficient, but it is not very big, Zhao Huan is naturally one by one, but looking at Zhu Lian, Zhu Xuan, and Liu Huiniang, the three of them can only open their mouths to lick their images, and they can't help but be secretly funny in their hearts.

It's all made up like this, and who would mind if you open your mouth wide.

Liu Huiniang first noticed the smile in Zhao Huan's eyes, turned her head to look at the Zhu sisters, and pulled Chen Liqing and Su Hongshang to point into the distance:

"Qing'er, Hongsheng, look! Is that guy's stick method okay over there? ”

Chen Liqing glanced at it: "It's far away!" Flower fists embroider legs, I can beat ten of them in one go! ”

"Gone! Check it out! ”

"What's there to look at......"

Chen Liqing and Su Hongshang were reluctant to look at it, but Liu Huiniang then said a few words in the ears of the two, and the three girls glanced at Zhao Huan and walked away with a smile.

Zhao Huan shook his head and said to the two sisters: "You two, whatever you like, you can buy whatever you like!" ”

Zhu Lian whispered: "You don't need to buy anything...... It's all in the palace! ”

"There are always some things that you can't see in the Zhu family or the palace, such as juggling, sugar people or something, and these lanterns...... The big rock on the chest over there, you don't even have a chance to look at it. In short, it's fun to come out and play! ”

"I ...... What do we do when we see a big stone broken in our chest? ”

"Let's just reward them with a few bucks!" Zhao Huan said, "Although they all know this in their hearts, there is no big danger, but after all, they are willing to make money to make a living, and they can't attract people from the rivers and lakes, if they can't attract us anymore, then they won't have much to gain today, and it is estimated that if they want to eat a bowl of wontons, they can only drink soup!" ”

"I see! Thank you, Your Highness, we get it! ”

Zhu Lian and Zhu Xuan wanted to salute, but Zhao Huan took the opportunity to grab his hand and hold him, and whispered: "You are men now, don't speak loudly and don't salute!" ”

"Yes......"

The two women blushed, broke free from Zhao Huan and ran away.

Zhao Huan looked at his empty two hands, and then looked at the two sisters on the left and the three sisters on the right in front of him, speechless for a while.

They all got married first, and the prince can't soak you yet?

That's rubbish!

No way! Before they reach adulthood, they have to talk about love first, and then they can take advantage of the love to make up for a candle night.

"Hey, hey!"

A very discordant laughter reached Zhao Huan's ears, and when he looked back, the four guys were secretly holding back a laugh.

Zhao Huan glared at him and said, "Don't you look down on those palace maids and female guards in the harem?" What qualifications do the four bachelors have to laugh at Prince Ben? If you don't have a daughter-in-law home this year, be careful to let you run ten laps around Tokyo City on the first day of next year! ”

The Xie brothers scratched their heads and blushed in embarrassment.

Yu Baosi slapped his head, "Oops! Jiao Ting, the two of them don't know martial arts, hurry up and protect! Pull Jiao Ting and hurry to chase the Zhu sisters.

"Let's go! Let's go for a stroll! ”

"Your Highness! Really don't chase it? ”

"Chase the fart! Which side am I chasing alone? The people on the other side must not be angry! Don't chase! It's easier to wander around on your own! ”

"Okay!"

The three of them looked left and right, and in the blink of an eye, they had already passed three or five streets, and Zhao Huan and the five girls were getting farther and farther apart, because they were worried that something would happen to them, and they didn't get up quickly.

"This brother is so good-looking! The body is like a dragon, the eyes are like a star, the sky is full, the earth is round, and the gestures have their own luxury, I'm afraid it's not a thing in the pool! Sure enough, good looks! ”

A vague voice reached Zhao Huan's ears, and when he hurriedly turned his head to look, he saw a tall and thin middle-aged man, who was holding the flag of "Divine Calculation" in one hand and stroking his beard with the other hand looking at him and laughing.

"Liar!"

Zhao Huan threw down two words, turned his head randomly, and left quickly with Xie Zhen and Xie Bao.

"Hehehe!"

The fortune teller was not annoyed, but just looked at Zhao Huan's back with interest.

"That's it! For your sake, I won't kill you! ”

The man walked along the street with the flag, and from time to time he looked at this lantern and looked at that lantern and nodded his head in approval.

"Fortune teller! Hold it! ”

A figure leaped slightly, blocking the fortune teller's path.
