Chapter 296: Lantern Festival

This New Year, it was quite lively, and the saint had been staying side by side in the palace until the third day of the new year, and then he returned to the palace with his baggage, and when he left, he also brought a lot of pastries prepared by Yanwushuang.

Not long after the New Year, on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, the marriage announced by the Hejian Mansion and the Wei State Mansion was scheduled to pick a good day after the Lantern Festival, of course, this is not that the King of Hejian is in a hurry to return to the station, and it will not be so hasty.

Both the Wei Mansion and the Hejian Mansion were busy preparing for this marriage, one was the only son to marry a wife, and the other was the only daughter to marry, which was a big deal for both parties.

Yan Wushuang took his children and wandered between the four mansions of Sheng Wangfu, Side by Side Wangfu, Wei Guogong Mansion and Hejian Wangfu, and Shu Jing waited until after the Lantern Festival to go to school.

According to the status of the palace side by side, it is naturally the best college in the capital, the Bowen Academy, taken from the "Analects of Zihan": "The master is good and seductive, and I am courteous with literature."

This is the most famous academy in the capital, and it is also the dream of many people who want to send their children in, but when each child is sent in, there needs to be a test, which is regardless of status and identity.

At that time, how many great Confucians came from this academy, and how many great Confucians stayed in this academy, and now there are a lot of officials in the capital who came out of this academy, so its status is unquestionable.

Because Liu and Yuan went out from this academy, so he was most familiar with the rules of this academy, Yan Wushuang sent someone to send Shu Jing over every day, and then sent it back after the evening class, just so that he didn't have to go to the court, Liu and Yuan also had this time.

Before you know it, the Lantern Festival is coming, and the Ministry of Rites sent people to hang a huge dragon-shaped lantern on the highest wall of the palace, with extremely fine scales and beards, lifelike, as if you don't pay attention to it, you will ride the wind away.

Early in the morning, the saint sent someone to take Shu Jing into the palace, he wanted Shu Jing to accompany him, and Wu Shuang and Zhan Ge were relieved, the two of them could have a lot of time to play the Lantern Festival in the capital.

Mo Shang and Shuangshuang followed behind, Yan Wushuang and Zhan Ge stood on the second floor of the restaurant opposite, looking at the lanterns opposite, and all around them were extremely good-looking Rui Beast lanterns.

There was a huge flow of people below, children, the elderly, couples, single men and women, each with a smile on their faces, carrying lanterns in their hands or holding masks, and talking about it.

"It seems like it's been a long time since I've seen such a lively street party, especially with you." Looking at Zhan Ge next to him who shielded himself from the wind, Yan Wushuang's voice was a little nostalgic, and the slightly long red drawn at the end of her eyes made her whole person look charming and affectionate.

Zhan Ge tightened her cloak a little and paid attention to the crowd around her: "In the future, as long as you want to see it, I'll accompany you, how about it, is it cold?"

Leaning on his embrace, Yan Wushuang only felt the warmth spreading, where was the cold: "There is really a lot of snow this year, finally today is a good weather, it's really not cold."

"That's good, I see that you like lanterns very much, let's go buy one later, I have prepared a gift for you in the house, and when you go back, you can see it, I hope you can like it."

It was prepared privately by Zhan Ge, and Yan Wushuang didn't know anything about it, he hoped to give Yan Wushuang a unique surprise.

"Really?" Yan Wushuang turned his head to look over, and Xinghe's intoxicated eyes were brewing with boundless joy: "Then I have to go back and take a good look."

As he was talking, there was movement on the opposite side, and the Praetorian Guards went up to the city wall, surrounded by the saint in a bright yellow dragon robe, and the saint was holding a plush ball.

"Look, Ah Jing is there, I didn't expect Lin'er to take Ah Jing with me." Yan Wushuang pointed to Zhan Ge, and only after Zhan Ge was sure that Ah Jing was safe, did he reply.

"Xu is afraid that Ah Jing will be alone in the palace and lonely, so it's fine, but I guess after a while, the saint will dress up in disguise and take Ah Jing to the shopping party."

Zhan Ge saw that the wind was blowing violently, put the hood on the cloak on Yan Wushuang, and replied calmly in Yan Wushuang's surprised eyes.

"It's not that you don't know that sometimes the Holy One is willful and can't be stopped. But he's only a sixteen-year-old, so that's normal. ”

Frowning slightly, looking at the lively crowd below, Yan Wushuang was a little worried: "Will someone take the opportunity to attack?"

Zhan Ge smiled confidently: "Don't worry, the saint is not only my people, but also the royal secret guard, who can protect the safety of the saint."

"That's good."

The lanterns on the opposite side were lit one after another, and the saint held the torch, and in the almost suffocating silence of everyone, he walked steadily to the side, approached the torch in his hand, and the dragon-shaped lantern began to light up from the tail, and finally became a golden flying dragon.

The following surprises came one after another, and Yan Wushuang's eyes couldn't hide the shock, I didn't expect to be able to see such a scenery here.

"This is done by the Ministry of Rites, and I heard that there are also craftsmen from Jiangnan, but the results are good." Even after experiencing so much sadness, the country can gradually get better, which is also the desire of the war.

The cheers of the sea of people below were too loud, afraid that the sound would not be heard, so Yan Wushuang specially approached Zhan Ge: "It's not bad, should you describe it as spectacular?"

"Okay, okay, after reading it, let's go too. Let's go for a walk first, and then go to Shengshang and Ah Jing. Yan Wushuang nodded naturally, and Zhan Ge hugged her downstairs, Shuangshuang and Mo Shang followed behind, paying attention to the surrounding movements.

Yan Wushuang was held by Zhan Ge's shoulders and wore a hood, and he could only see the scenery in front of him.

On both sides of the street, there are most lantern sellers, all kinds of lanterns seem to tell a lingering and sad story, there are many people coming and going, and Zhan Ge protects her from being bumped into by others.

This familiar embrace makes her feel at ease and warm, as if it can give her all the ups and downs of the outside world, so that she can live her own life with peace of mind.

Carrying the lotus-shaped lantern she bought next to her, Yan Wushuang looked left and right curiously, she rarely saw such a lively scene, and curiosity was inevitable.

"In fact, in the past, I used to think that I would sneak out alone to watch the street meeting, this is the palace is heavily gated, and I didn't have this opportunity from beginning to end."

Incoherent, Yan Wushuang didn't know what he wanted to say, so he could only sigh and scratch his head: "Actually, I want to say, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Holding Yan Wushuang's hand tightened silently, and the smile on the corner of Zhan Ge's mouth couldn't help it: "I'm also very happy."

It seems that someone in front of him is on the stage to guess the lantern riddle, and most of them are talented and beautiful people, Yan Wushuang and Zhan Ge watched quietly.

"Have you seen it before?"

Zhan Ge shook his head with a calm expression: "At this time in previous years, I should have been by the saint's side to protect the saint's safety, so I haven't come to see it, and I don't like to come over to such a lively scene."

There are more and more people watching, that is, Zhan Ge has been protecting Yan Wushuang, Shuangshuang and Mo Shang are blocking beside him, Yan Wushuang can be aware of it, and frowns slightly: "Let's go, I've seen enough."

There seem to be many young men and women on the shore of Mochizuki Lake, and the various lanterns in their hands seem to calm the whole person's heart, and the excitement of the candle flame is more warm.

Letting go of Yan Wushuang's shoulders, Zhan Ge naturally took Yan Wushuang's hand and walked by the lake: "How is it here?"

"It's good, I feel that although I like to be lively, it seems that it is enough to watch it for a while, and if I watch too much, it will make people feel a headache."

Placing the green bricks below, Yan Wushuang was jumping with a childlike heart, but from beginning to end, she didn't forget to hold Zhan Ge's hand, and it seemed that the temperature of her palms had made her accustomed to it.

"It's a very beautiful scene to put river lanterns on the Chinese Valentine's Day in Jiangnan, and I'll take you to Jiangnan to see it when the time comes, how about it?" Zhan Ge paid attention to Yan Wu's feet, comforting her.

"Really?" Frowning slightly, Yan Wushuang shook his head again: "That's not good, if it goes on like this, we feel like we can all live in Jiangnan next year."

Next year, my mother will give birth to a child, and now I don't know if I will have an extra sister or a younger brother in the future, and my mother is an advanced age, and it is estimated that before the child is born, I will stay in the capital, otherwise even if I go out, I will not rest assured.

In fact, there is an old imperial doctor in the palace who can diagnose it, but King Sheng is unwilling, he wants to leave the surprise at the end.

Zhan Gejian frowned, as if he also thought that he had ignored this question: "This is too, then wait until the time comes, if we can, we will go to Jiangnan, if not, we will wait until next year."

"That's okay, that's the only way......" After a little hesitation, Yan Wushuang still didn't say something, she wanted to say, if she was pregnant by then, wouldn't it be another year to delay?

But now the relationship between the two has not reached that point, of course, this is only unilaterally thought by Yan Wushuang. I can only talk about it later.

After taking a turn by the lake, Yan Wushuang missed Ah Jing a little: "Let's go find Lin'er and Ah Jing, according to the past, at this time, Ah Jing should rest, Lin'er takes care of it, I really can't rest assured."

As he was talking, Mo Wen rushed over: "General, madam, the Holy Lord just sent someone to say that the young master was taken to the palace by him, and tonight, he will stay in the palace."

Yan Wushuang rolled his eyes silently, but there was nothing he could do: "Okay, let's go back too."

At this time, Yan Wushuang didn't notice it, Zhan Ge and Mo Wen looked at each other quietly, and after getting Mo Wen's affirmative nod, Zhan Ge was relieved.

And she did forget what Zhan Ge said and wanted to surprise her.
