In ancient times, cities generally had a curfew system, and the curfew was enforced at the end of the night. At this time, anyone who walks out of the street will be arrested as a thief. There are only a few days of the year that are exceptional.

On the fifteenth day of the first month, the ban was lifted on the Shangyuan Festival, and the lamps were lit for a total of three days. Dragon and lion dances, lantern festivals, poetry meetings, various activities, sleepless nights.

Yanwangfu dragon pan tiger in the whole Jinyang West City, thousands of households, the road is continuous, the secluded room is elegant, and the prosperity is thousands.

Today, the whole palace is lit up and down, festive and brilliant, and there are no less than hundreds of red lanterns alone. When night falls, dignitaries such as carp crossing the river have brought gifts to the banquet, and there is a lively scene in the laughter.

The people in the palace were all smiling and happy. However, Yunyang seems to be in a state of flux, and he is used to seeing the prosperity of the modern city, and he feels bored.

At the banquet, he only ate a few bites of rice balls, and then left first on the grounds that he was unwell. The maids who knew him didn't care. This Yun Yang has been a little silent since he was injured, but no one will pay special attention to these details.

At this time, Yun Yang had already returned to his room, holding a book without punctuation marks and frowning and pondering, trying to figure out the meaning word by word. This is a historical book, and after careful study, it is quite rewarding to understand the historical outline of this world from the book.

It turned out that the dynasty he was in was called Tang Wu, and it was only one word different from the Tang Dynasty in history, and it has lasted for nearly a hundred years since Gaozu established the dynasty with martial arts. The national strength is long-lasting, and all countries pay tribute, which is called the heavenly kingdom.

After Xuanzong ascended the throne, he made great efforts to create the "prosperous era of Kaiyuan". The people live and work in peace and contentment, and prosper, so the literary style gradually rises, all kinds of poems and songs emerge in endlessly, and there are countless literati and scholars.

Obviously, the historical trajectory of this Tang Wu Dynasty is the same as that of the Tang Dynasty, much the same.

Yunyang read at night, although there was no young and beautiful woman on the side with red sleeves to add fragrance, but he watched it with relish. From the book, he can quickly understand the world. I don't know how long it took, but I felt a little tired before I put down the books, and looked at the lights outside the window, and my thoughts gradually drifted away.

After a while, he retracted his gaze, picked up a bronze mirror casually, and looked at the young man with clear water chestnuts and clear eyebrows in the mirror by candlelight, and was stunned. Although I am very reluctant, since I have come to this world and become this person, I can't go back, so I have to think about how I want to live in the future.

At present, as the attendant of the prince, although his status in the palace is not light or heavy, at least he doesn't have to do any physical rough work, and he only needs to follow the side of His Royal Highness the prince who dresses as a man every day and run errands.

Although it is not brocade clothes and food, the life is also quite solid, which is a rare honor for this era when people take food as their sky. But for Yunyang, he is under the fence after all, this kind of groveling life, as well as the many red tape rules and regulations of the palace, are not suitable for him as a modern person.

Especially when his own life is in the hands of others, which is unacceptable to him in any way.

It seems that he has to find a way to make some money to redeem himself and leave the deep mansion compound of the palace. It is not difficult to survive in this world with one's advanced modern knowledge.

Yun Yang thought secretly, but he also knew that there were no human rights in the feudal society under this kind of monarchy, and once he took a wrong step, he would be doomed, so he must be prepared before redeeming himself, even if the palace refuses to release people, he can ensure the safety of his life.

He is just a servant, and it may be unfounded to think like this, but in ancient times, he had to have enough sense of crisis to be able to live for a long time.

Just as I was thinking about these things, the bell rang, the time came, and the Lantern Festival night entered the high tide.

At this time, the banquet in the palace had long since ended.

In the study, King Yan and Li Yi, the deputy envoy of Hedong Jiedu, played against each other. Yang Yingchuan, a staff member of the palace, as well as Xue Qing and Li Jilan, were watching the battle from the sidelines.

Li Jilan, the daughter of Li Yi, even King Yan was greatly appreciated, and once personally commented on "virtuous and intelligent, respectful and cautious", so many people are convinced that this woman will definitely enter King Yan's mansion in the future.

If it weren't for that, the threshold of the Li Mansion would probably be broken by the people who came to propose relatives. Despite this, many of the self-proclaimed scholars still had illusions, but after tonight their illusions were completely shattered.

Just now, King Yan had proposed to the Li family, and Li Yi readily agreed. After the news of this matter came out of the palace, it quickly caused a sensation in the entire Jinyang City like thunder, and countless romantic talents who liked its alluring posture were suddenly mourned.

As the mainstay of Beiyan, Li Yi naturally knew that Xue Qing was a woman dressed as a man, and King Yan betrothed them just to keep Xue Qing's identity from being exposed. The two are in cahoots, and it is unknown what other unknown purpose they have.

However, the interesting thing is that Li Jilan also knew that Xue Qing was actually a daughter, but instead of showing resistance to the absurd thing that she was going to marry another young girl as a woman, she was ecstatic, like a Ruyi Langjun, so that her father was speechless and only sighed.

But if you know what Li Jilan has done in the past, it won't be surprising.

Speaking of Li Jilan, it is quite legendary, she is white and beautiful, extremely talented, she has shown her poetry talent since she was a child, she wrote poetry at the age of six, and she is recognized as a "female bachelor" by Beiyan Shizi, and she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs.

However, Li Yi has a lot of complaints about this daughter, just because of the sentence that his daughter wrote when she was six years old: "After time, my mind is chaotic." Verses. Li Yi thinks that this poem is ominous, and he knows that the woman who is to be married is in a state of turmoil at a young age, and he is afraid that he will become a lost woman when he grows up.

And this is unfortunately what he said, when she grew up, Li Jilan did not learn from female workers and did not be the lady of the husband and children, and in order to avoid marriage, she went to the Shangqing Palace to concentrate on cultivation. I have been practicing for five years, and I am still unmarried at the age of nearly 20.

In the past, the comment of "virtuous and intelligent, respectful and prudent" also became a joke, which made his father lose face, but fortunately, the king of Beiyan did not care about it.

Although the Tang Wu Dynasty was more open-minded than the previous dynasties and even all dynasties in history, it was a feudal society under the monarchy after all, following the traditional concept of heaven and earth, three obedience and four virtues.

Li Jilan's blatant disobedience to her father's decision is a deviant in the current society, and she will definitely be criticized and even criticized. At the beginning, Li Jilan was indeed pointed out by a thousand husbands, saying that a woman should be a husband and teach children.

There are even more heart-wrenching words from readers, ridiculing Li Jilan for being a comic person, and his expression is gloomy. Becoming a monk for a female crown is said to be pure in heart and has few desires and concentrating on cultivation, but in fact, it is for indulging in pleasure and being despised.

For such slander, Li Jilan is only silent, and can only be silent. At first, she turned a deaf ear, but the world refused to give up, and still pressed forward step by step.

Until the sixth year of Tianbao, winter. More than 1,000 Xi people plundered outside Yanmen Pass. Li Jilan rode down the mountain and went straight to the outside of the pass, facing the barbarian tiger and wolf without fear, single-handedly, driving in, taking the head of the enemy generals among the thousands of troops, and proving that she was not inferior to the iron-blooded man as a woman.

After this battle, Li Jilan's reputation was shocked, and she was named General Xuanwu, becoming the first truly deserved female general in the Tang Wu Dynasty. For a while, everyone praised it, and the women did not let the eyebrows be shaved.

After this incident, Li Jilan changed her previous euphemism. is very different from the previous personality, judging like two people. Although it is a little less rouge and gouache, it adds a bit of heroism, not only is the pearl dusty, but it is more and more bright and moving, and the reputation is far and wide.

It also has the reputation of "there is a beautiful woman in the north, peerless and independent".

At this time, Li Jilan in the study was calm and calm, not moving like a mountain, without the slightest boredom, and already had the style of a general. Xue Qing, the prince of the world dressed as a man, was absent-minded, his eyes sometimes looked out of the window, and his heart was already ready to move, thinking about going to the night market, guessing lantern riddles, and lively things.

King Yan glanced at her and waved his big hand, Xue Qing immediately smiled, and pulled Li Jilan, who had not forgotten to bow and leave.

Yang Yingchuan watched the two of them go away, and then he pointed out: "The prince has a good hand of chess." ”

Yan Wang Xue Li smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Brother Yingchuan, don't make fun of me, I have no choice but to do it." Alas, it's really hard for the two children Qing'er and Lan'er. ”

Li Yi frowned and said: "An Lushan is a honey-bellied sword, and now it is a holy family Zhenglong. But he came to tell the prince that the saint intended to give marriage, and there may not be no plan of his own. ”

"Now the saint listens to slander and is suspicious of the prince, and this move is called marriage, but in fact it is to recruit the prince into Beijing."

Yang Yingchuan looked at King Yan and said: "Now that the news of the prince's engagement has spread, if His Majesty still refuses to take back his order after learning about it, how should the prince deal with himself." ”

King Yan sighed and said: "One wrong step and one wrong step, if Your Majesty still refuses to give up, then the king can only repeat his old tricks and hide from the world." ”
