Chapter 52: Fireworks (2)
Li Chengqian got up and stretched out his hand to pat the clothes on his body, dusted off the dust on his body, and thought to himself: I don't know what the effect of this firework is, wait until tonight to try it and see the effect.
"Wang Quan!" Li Chengqian shouted outside the hall.
Wang Quan, who heard the movement, hurriedly trotted in and said, "What does Lang Jun command?" ”
Li Chengqian stretched out his hand and pointed to the more than thirty fireworks and said, "Put these on for me, send them to the Cheng'en Hall tonight, remember!" These fireworks should not be close to the source of the fire, not even the slightest spark. ”
"No!" Wang Quan carefully recorded Li Chengqian's words, and was particularly attentive to these fireworks, and called the chamberlain to repeatedly tell them what they should pay attention to.
"Also, call the crown princess, Xiao Liangdi and the two imperial grandsons, and the widow will hold a family banquet in the Cheng'en Hall tonight." Li Chengqian instructed Wang Quan.
"The slaves and maids have written it down! Then he sent someone to inform the crown princess and Liangdi, as well as the two princes. Wang Quan took the order and left.
At night, Li Xiang and Li Ju, under the leadership of their respective nurses, were the first to appear in the Cheng'en Hall to wait for their father, the crown prince Li Chengqian.
As soon as they arrived on the front foot, the new Liangdi Xiao on the back foot arrived!
Li Xiang and Li Ju got up to salute Xiao Liangdi, and Xiao Liangdi saw that the crown princess Su and the prince had not yet come, and she was bored by herself, so she teased the two children.
After a while, graceful and luxurious, the princess Su was dressed in jewels, and the maid followed closely and appeared in the Cheng'en Palace.
"I've seen the mother!" Li Ju and Li Xiang saluted to the Su family.
"Say hello to my sister!" Xiao Liangdi also saluted the crown princess Su.
"It's all free!" The crown princess raised her hand and said, "Ju'er, come to the mother!" ”
Li Ju happily trotted up to the crown princess and called out sweetly, "Mother!" The crown princess smiled.
Compared with the incompetent father of the crown prince Li Chengqian, Li Ju is closer to his biological mother, and Li Xiang, who is half the eldest child, looks at Li Ju's mother and son frolicking with envy.
Xiao Liangdi was bored fiddling with the bracelet in her hand, waiting for today's protagonist, Prince Li Chengqian.
This is the scene in the temple of Cheng'en now.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!" Just when everyone was waiting a little annoying, Wang Quan's sharp voice came from outside the hall just right.
Li Chengqian, supported by Wang Quan, limped in, sat down on the main seat, and the crown princess Su led Xiao Liangdi and two children to salute Li Chengqian.
Let's start with Li Chengqian's voice! Moved on to today's theme – the family feast.
Wang Quan beckoned the maid to serve the food, and the maid rushed in, put the divided food on everyone's table, and then retreated!
In the process of having dinner, Li Chengqian also asked about the academic situation of the two children, and the two children were also well-behaved, and their answers were reasonable! It is very satisfying to Li Chengqian.
After dinner, the maid stepped forward to remove all the dishes and serve everyone dessert.
"I'm going to prepare a gift for you today, but I don't know if you like it or not?" After dinner, Li Chengqian went straight to the topic.
"Your Highness's reward, it's too late for the concubine to rejoice, where would you not like it." Crown Princess Su said.
"Your Highness! What are you going to give us? Gold and silver jewelry, gold hairpins and jade hairpins? Seeing that Li Chengqian was so mysterious, Xiao Liangdi asked with her big eyes.
Generally speaking, the things that the prince gave were jewelry, silk and satin.
can see Li Chengqian's posture now, and it doesn't look like a reward for these objects, Xiao Liangdi is inevitably a little curious.
Not only Xiao Liangdi is curious, but even the crown princess Su and the two children are very curious, but the crown princess has to pay attention to her identity, and it is not good to ask directly.
As for the two children, not to mention, Xiao Liangdi has not been in the palace for a long time, and she still doesn't understand the rules of this palace.
"As for what it is! Come with me and see outside the temple. After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he got up and walked towards the outside of the Chengen Palace, with Wang Quan following closely beside him.
The crown princess Su took her son Li Ju and followed behind Li Chengqian, and Xiao Liangdi and Li Xiang walked side by side at the back.
"Your Highness! What about the gift you want to give us? Everyone came to the outside of the hall, Xiao Liangdi looked around and didn't find the gift Li Chengqian said, and asked.
"Rest easy! Wang Quan, take it! Li Chengqian said to Wang Quan beside him.
"No!" Wang Quan received the order, turned around and left, and a moment later, Wang Quan went and returned, followed by two chamberlains.
As the waiter appeared, their eyes focused on the bag that the waiter was carrying, which contained some sealed bamboo tubes, and there was a thread at the seal of the bamboo tube.
"Your Highness! That's what you call a gift? Xiao Liangdi looked at it for a long time and didn't know what this bamboo tube was for.
"That's right! That's what I've got in store for you! Li Chengqian was full of interest, this was the first time he came to Datang to watch fireworks, and he did it himself, but he didn't know what the effect was.
To be honest, he was both excited and nervous right now.
After hearing that this was the gift prepared by the prince for them, the crown princess Su and Xiao Liangdi, their faces couldn't help twitching, and they were very helpless about the prince's unconventional approach.
It's better to send some jewelry and the like than the bamboo tube in front of them, what do they want this bamboo tube for? And it can't be spent as money.
"Look, it's time to witness the miracle!" Li Chengqian said, turned back to Wang Quan and said, "Let's start!" ”
"No!" Wang Quan received the order, waved his hand to the two attendants, and the two attendants retreated to a certain distance, took out the fireworks from the bag, put it away, took out the prepared fire fold, opened the lid, and blew lightly, and the fire fold burned.
After lighting the fuse, the chamberlain immediately picked up the bag on the ground and ran to the side, so as not to hurt the innocent.
The crown princess Su and Xiao Liangdi and others were confused, not knowing what they were doing.
"Bang" immediately heard a muffled sound, which scared everyone into a clever way, and before everyone could see what was happening, they heard a whoosh, and the bamboo tube flew directly into the sky.
Before everyone could react, they heard a "bang", a strong light flashed in the sky, and a beautiful colorful spark bloomed in the air.
"Wow! It's beautiful! Xiao Liangdi opened her mouth wide in surprise, even if she covered her mouth with her white little hands, she still couldn't hide the surprise in her eyes.
The movement of Li Chengqian's fireworks here alarmed the people in Chang'an City, and even His Majesty Li Er, who was reviewing the recital in the Liangyi Palace, put down his work and walked out, looking at the colorful fireworks blooming in the sky.
"What is this? How beautiful is it? But what happened to the East Palace? Li Er asked Wang Yuan, the inner chamberlain beside him.
"This ...... The old slave didn't know what it was, but it was indeed a movement in the south of the East Palace! Wang Yuandao, it was the first time he had seen such a thing.
