Section 31 Fireworks Display (2)
In the history of the Li Dynasty, there have always been many records of the royal family and the common people spending festivals together, mostly in the Shangyuan, Mid-Autumn Festival and other festivals, generally the royal family to show the people or to show the emperor's grace, personally to the people to choose a wide place to build a platform and build a building, with a sprinkled greetings to the effect that the world is peaceful, the royal heart of the people, willing to spend the festival with the people. Then the people knelt down to thank them, and then they either admired the lanterns or watched the scenery, and they enjoyed themselves. Since Caiyun City is located in the south of the Li Dynasty and far away from the capital, the people here have never had the opportunity to participate in such a grand ceremony, this time I heard that you can enjoy the Chinese New Year's Eve fireworks with His Royal Highness the Lord, most of them came in full costume, stretched their necks and gathered opposite the stands where Yao Jin was with wide eyes, although there were guards in front, everyone was still curious and excited, waiting to see the true face of the most noble princess of the Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty, their legendary Royal Highness.
At this time, the drum beat weakened, and after the maid opened the first layer of veil, the second and third layers of veil were also gradually opened, and a woman wearing a long silver dress and a large red peony pattern embroidered on her coat walked out slowly.
Yao Jin rarely wears such a color, it has always been either red or pure white or silver gray, today Lin Yuebai deliberately chose this delicate but solemn dress for her, with a tourmaline silver crown, and then with a red golden flower swallow branch to decorate an excellent complexion - people found for the first time that their Royal Highness the lord is not only intelligent and courageous, but also has a pair of bright and moving eyes, a bright and moving face that cannot be ignored.
"I don't ......" Yao was about to open her mouth today, but Lin Yuebai, who was kneeling at her feet, hurriedly grabbed the hem of her skirt and said in a low voice: "Ah Yao! Remember what you promised me? You said, 'The family is healthy, and enjoy the magnificent scenery together', and then they kowtow, you stretch out your hand to signal, that's it!
Stretch out your hand to signal...... Motioned...... Reached...... Yao Jin looked at the front of him expressionlessly: the gentle flow of the Jinsha River under the starlight, the crowded heads under the firelight, and the distant faces full of anticipation - all this seemed strange, and seemed to be extremely familiar, Yao Jin suddenly remembered that when she first came to work at SKS many years ago, she participated in the company's New Year's party for the first time, and she sang a song excitedly, what the name of the song was she had forgotten. She forgot whether she sang well or not, she only remembered the thunderous applause of the audience after singing, she was so happy that her face was flushed, she held the microphone tightly and bowed, and said thank you many times.
"Thank you...... Thank you, thank you. ”
After Yao Jin opened her mouth to finish, she suddenly laughed, laughed so happily, smiled so happily, and then she looked at everything in front of her, towards the Jinsha River, towards the countless pairs of eyes that looked at her, stretched out her hands, and bowed - at that moment, she was like a peony blooming in the sun, obviously proudly on the highest branch, but gently bent down her noble body, maybe just for a low-flying butterfly, a tactful breeze, maybe just she wanted-
Bend down and kiss the earth.
Everyone, from Wang Xiang and Xuannu under the stands, Lin Yuebai on the stage, and even Zhao Yu and others in the distance, were all stunned. They had never seen the woman in front of them bow her head and bend down for anyone or anything, they thought that she would be so proud to walk with her head held high for the rest of her life - at this moment, all the people suddenly reacted, and knelt down excitedly, scrambling to kowtow and shout "Your Highness Chitose, Your Highness Chitose Chitose", the scene was a little spectacular all of a sudden, and Lin Yuebai was obviously a little crying and laughing, but suddenly felt that the corners of her eyes were hot, and her heart seemed to be greatly moved, but she didn't know where this emotion came from.
And Yao Jin didn't seem to see or hear all this, she still walked down the stands, walked to the river, walked to the first salute, and took the torch from Zhao Yu's hands. For a moment, she suddenly held the torch above her head, quietly staring at the countless stars in the blue night sky, looking at her like countless pairs of eyes, looking at her and the dazzling fire in her hand, as if someone was calling her name: Yao Jin, Yao Jin, wake up, wake up! It was a man's voice, it was a man's voice that she was very familiar with, but who was he? Who was he? Yao Jin was in a trance all of a sudden, his hand was loosened, and Zhao Yu caught it the moment the torch fell, put it firmly in her hand again, and looked at Yao Jin with expectant and even begging eyes: "Your Highness, please light the first salute tonight, the cannon sounds, peace and joy!"
The sound of cannons, peace and joy? Yao Jin muttered, staring at the torch in his hand, motionless. At this moment, Zhao Yu couldn't wait to raise the salute to Yao Jin's hand with his eyes, but he couldn't do it, so he had to suppress his anxiety, and urged in a low voice: "Your Highness, please light the fire, light the fire!"
I don't know how long it took, Zhao Yu was already sweating on his forehead, and Yao Jin finally slowly lowered his hand and lit the line of fire, seeing that the salute was successfully dyed into the house, and the sky "rumbled", and Zhao Yu's heart finally fell on the big stone. He hurriedly held the torch in Yao Jin's hand with both hands, signaled the guards to light the remaining five salutes, and then rushed into the night sky one by one, blooming countless colorful flowers in the sound of the salute, everyone's eyes were immediately attracted, and Lin Yuebai and Xuannu also walked over quickly, supporting Yao Jin on the left and right, and wanted to take her back to the stands.
"Wait a minute. ”
Yao Jin suddenly pushed away Xuannu, grabbed Lin Yuebai's arm accurately with his backhand, pointed to the sky and said, "Yuebai, watch the fireworks." ”
"Your Highness, there are too many people here, shall we go back over there and take a look?"
"More people is better. If it's a place with few people, look at the endless fireworks in the sky—aren't you lonely?" Yao Jin suddenly smiled slightly, and took two steps towards the river, "I like today's fireworks." ”
"Your Highness—" Zhao Yu was about to step forward to persuade him, but Lin Yuebai walked behind Yao Jin and stopped him with a pleading gaze, "Lord Zhao, let His Highness watch it here, I and Mrs. Xuan are here to accompany you, okay?"
"But ......"
"Your Highness is very happy today, she maybe, maybe she will be fine! Just let her watch here for a while, just for a while, is it okay, Lord Zhao?"
Faced with Lin Yuebai's repeated requests, Zhao Yu looked at the guards around him again, and he was silent: he couldn't bear to refuse Lin Yuebai. He couldn't let Yao Jin show half of his inappropriateness in front of the guards, let alone let her make an outrageous move in front of the public-
"That'...... I have called the people of the Guardians to guard His Highness's safety. Zhao Yu asked people to notify the guards of the Nanguo Mansion in front of the stands, and on the other hand, he asked the surrounding guards to withdraw a few meters away, "Miss Lin, Miss Xuan, I'll go and settle down first, and ask the two good students to serve His Highness." ”
