The palace guards, decent is decent, but there are also unspeakable sufferings, and every festival, they will be embarrassed.

It is a chore to be on duty during the festival, even if the Qianniu Guards in the Eastern Capital are strictly disciplined, there are a lot of complainants, and the duty schedule of Quan Ce is personally taken care of by Hou Sizhi, and they are all scheduled in the morning, and they will be on duty in two hours, so naturally there will be no such troubles.

He was full of compassion, and a comrade who was so anxious to jump his feet changed shifts, of course, not on the fifteenth day of the first month, if he dared to be on duty tonight, he was afraid that he would be nagged to death by his family, and the change was tomorrow, the sixteenth day of the first month, from the morning to the night, the comrade was said to look at his fiancée on the sixteenth night of the first month, saying that there is a nose and an eye, many colleagues scoffed at this, the girls on the street may be fiancées, remember at any time, go to see at any time, why do you have to look at each other in the sixteenth night, Teasing the man and blushing.

Quan Ce believed it and agreed with it, but he won some reputation for righteousness.

On the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, the Luohe Tianjin Bridge, the full moon in the sky is faint, and the lights on the ground are bright.

There are all kinds of lanterns in the form of living creatures on the bridge, irregularly dotted on the bridge railing and bridge deck, lifelike, on the Luo River, hundreds of water lily palace lamps of drifters, wandering around with the flowing water, quite freehand gorgeous, the most chic, or the round lanterns floating in mid-air, it is said that there are red candles lit inside, and the price is extremely expensive.

Because the military queen is coming, the officials of the Luoyang Mansion will divide the Tianjin Bridge into a number of areas around the bridge, with the errand as a human wall, isolated from each other, the prince and the noble, the high-ranking officials and dignitaries, are naturally the closest to the bridge, the officials at all levels are a little farther away, the local gentry are second, the activity area really left for the ordinary people is far away, I am afraid that I can not see the dignity of the martial queen even if I step on stilts.

Princess Yiyang's Mansion with two princesses, divided into a relatively wide field of vision, four couch seats, a few small on one side, put some tea and snacks on it, very simple, and then look at the Gao'an Princess's Mansion next door, there are only two couch seats, not even a few, Princess Gao'an doesn't care about these, she takes care of herself with Quan Zhu and Quan Luo pointing the lanterns, but Wang Miao, who came with her, is not, there is no joy of the festival at all, and his eyes are staring at the top of the turn, where is the seat of Princess Taiping's Mansion, blocked on three sides, It's like a luxurious and exquisite box.

In addition to Princess Taiping, the seats of the princes of the Wu clan are also spacious and spacious, and the furnishings are ingenious everywhere, and Wang Miao's face is extremely gloomy, and he can almost squeeze out black water.

Quan Ce sighed silently, his back was gently touched, and when he looked back, it was his mother, Princess Yiyang, only to see her smile indifferently, and pointed to the lanterns floating to the shore with the wind, "Da Lang, this ghost idea, did you come up with it?" ”

Quan Ce smiled, nodded, turned around and sat down with her, and began to offer treasures, "Mother, the candles in this kind of lantern are all special, not much heat, if you use some candles, this lantern can fly all the way up and to the sky, if you have any wishes, you can let the lanterns pass the word to the heavens for you, and you will be able to achieve your wish."

Princess Yiyang just looked at him and didn't speak, instead of pinning her wish on the lanterns, it was better to pin her wish on her son.

"If there is such a good thing, should Da Lang also honor his aunt?" Princess Taiping's cold voice came, and the laughter here and around stopped, and there were people around her, and there were two officials to accompany her at the entrance of the relevant yamen, and her majesty was extraordinary.

"Chen Quan Ce has seen Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping" Quan Ce bowed and saluted, and everyone also stood up, young and old, Princess Yiyang and Princess Gao'an were older than her, even if she was respected, it was unacceptable to salute.

Princess Taiping raised her eyebrows, her phoenix eyes were full of anger, she forced herself to hold it, and lowered her head slightly, "You are polite, Quan Ce, you come with this palace"

The sleeves of the robe flicked, and many people left with him.

Quan Ce appeased his mother, said goodbye to his relatives, and followed behind Princess Taiping.

"Quan Ce, how is this palace treating you?" Princess Taiping stopped from being a servant and walked along the river embankment by herself, and wherever she went, her own messenger cleared a trail, so that she walked calmly, and the people on both sides jumped to watch this proud woman of the sky.

"His Royal Highness cares for the ministers, and the ministers feel the five guilty" The right policy is carefully handled.

The corners of Princess Taiping's mouth were slightly raised, and she snorted lightly, "This palace doesn't believe the man's words...... Let's go, the Mother Queen is coming."

Quan Ce bowed down to receive the order, and looked at the seat of Princess Yiyang's Mansion from afar, not without regrets, compared with the management of power, sometimes he looked forward to the day when he was reunited with his family.

The princes and princes around Empress Wu gathered, and the identity of Quan Ce could only stand in the corners and corners, silently acting as a foil.

The Lantern Festival is happy with the people, first the gorgeous court song and dance, and then the folk opera performance, and then the palace gives the money and silk palace cakes, scattered to the hands of the people, the martial arts go to the center of the Tianjin Bridge, raise a glass and drink with the ministers, and accept the congratulations and worship of the subjects.

At the end of the day, the waves in the Luoshui River surged, like gushing out of the sweet spring, bubbling and bubbling, there was a golden lotus platform, a blood-red Buddha portrait jumped up in it, up to more than 200 feet, slowly rotated on the lotus platform, so that the people around it could see clearly, and then, the lotus platform Feng Xuan resisted the wind, slowly flew to the Tianjin Bridge, and landed steadily in front of the Wuhou.

Quan Ce listened attentively, the sound of "bang-la-la-la" water and iron chains sounded from time to time, and I don't know how many people under the water were contributing hard manpower to this miracle.

"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor" The people don't know the trick, this scene is more exciting than the palace dance and food, the mountain cry is like a mountain and the sea, and the river of Luoshui is making waves.

Empress Wu raised her hands high, like a bright sun wheel in the dark night, unique and shining in all directions.

"Quan Ce, you are known to be talented, looking at this situation, you can have a word or two, you can help me to cheer up" Empress Wu hugged the sun and moon with her left hand, shook off the world with her right hand, stood at the bridgehead, and was one person in heaven and earth.

Quan Ce bowed forward, hunched his back, and tried not to attract attention, "The minister didn't hear the sound of the city to congratulate, and saw the majestic place where His Majesty stopped, so there is a remnant poem, which will be the top of the mountain, and the mountains are small."

"Hahaha, hahahaha, okay, I am at the top of the mountain, I can see the mountains at a glance" The martial queen looked up to the sky and laughed, the heroic laughter spread far away, the people only saw the emperor wanton, but the ministers could hear it clearly, even if they were as stubborn as the king, they had to bow down for it.

After laughing, Empress Wu stepped forward to enjoy the Buddha statue, Xue Huaiyi was on the side, and took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, this is a minister's knee pierced and smeared with blood."

Wu Hou just smiled, there was a look of approval in his eyes, and in a blink of an eye, he saw a few algae on the lotus platform, his brows frowned slightly, and on the other side, Shen Nanmiao stepped forward quickly, stretched out his hand to wipe it, and was slightly careless, his fingers were pierced by the sharp metal frame, and blood was splashed on the Buddha statue.

Shen Nanmiao immediately knelt down to plead guilty, but the corners of his mouth showed a sinister smile.

On the Buddha statue, the human blood and the Buddha statue are clearly distinguished, one side is bright and condensed, and the other side is dark red, and the contrast is outstanding.

A trace of fierceness flashed in Empress Wu's eyes, and then disappeared, and she waved her hand to make Shen Nanmiao get up, sighed faintly, and her eyes swept to Xue Huaiyi, with an indescribable complicated taste.

"The Duke of Eguo has a heart, and he will return to the palace" The voice was lukewarm, but it was alienated thousands of miles away.

Xue Huaiyi was chilled.

Shen Nanmiao walked by him, chuckled, his voice was thin, and in his ears, it was like a flood of bells.

His eyes were dark, and he only felt that there were mocking and sneering eyes flying all over the sky.

Shaking his head vigorously, he turned to look at Kwon Ce.

Quan Ce was also looking at him, shaking his head at him, his eyes were full of sighs and weakness, very incomprehensible, he took a small step in his direction, stopped abruptly, and turned to meet his family, picked up Quan Basket, and gradually drifted away in the crisp children's voice.

Xue Huaiyi staggered a few steps, leaned on the bridge pier, kicked over a water lily lamp, the flames ignited his robe, he took off the robe violently, and smashed it on the ground, the flame had been extinguished, he still kept beating, roaring in his mouth, like a trapped beast.
