Chapter 43: Kong Ming Lantern

"Accept your good words, I will definitely work hard to create a world that belongs to us, and I will live happily with you and our descendants when the time comes." Xingyi's concern made Zhao Jie's nervous mood disappear, Zhao Jie clenched his fists, put them on his chest, and swore in front of Xingyi.

Listening to Zhao Jie's energetic words, Xingyi smiled from the bottom of her heart, and she continued to ask: "Where does Your Highness live now, and where can Xingyi find you?" ”

Zhao Jie thought for a while, and then replied to each other: "The storage room, the largest collection of books in Chengzhou City, if nothing else, I should be there these days." ”

"The storage room is the place where the chronicles of the living history of the sons of heaven in the Zhou Dynasty are stored, and the star instrument knows it!" Xingyi stuck out her tongue when she heard this, and said playfully: "Then Your Highness will see you tomorrow!" ”

"This little girl, I haven't seen it for a few months, I didn't expect it to become like this!" Looking at the Xingyi who was fading away, staring at her back, Zhao Jie muttered to himself: "However, I like it!" ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Back at the inn, the shopkeeper came up to greet him politely. "Childe, I remember, that princess seems to have a single name with the word "Yu" The shopkeeper whispered in Zhao Jie's ear.

"The universe, the world, tolerate Kyushu, benevolence and love for all people." Hearing this, Zhao Jie muttered to himself as he walked: "Good name, worthy of my star instrument." ”

On the way back to his room, Zhao Jie met his personal maid Yanjing. Seeing Zhao Jie's distraction, Yanjing asked with concern: "Childe, what are you thinking, are you okay?" ”

Xingyi's voice woke Zhao Jie from his complacent mood and returned to the real world. Zhao Jie looked at Yanjing in front of him, and then asked, "What did you just say?" ”

Yeonjing repeated what she had just said. Zhao Jie shook his head and replied lightly: "I'm fine, my body has always been fine!" ”

"What did Childe do when he went out this morning, why was he in such a hurry that he didn't even bring a guard." Yanjing asked with concern: "Childe, you are a golden body, and now you are a proton who has secretly escaped, how can you walk around alone at will, in case you ......?"

Zhao Jie interrupted Yan Jing's words and said: "You know, I know martial arts, waiting for one or two people is no match for me, besides, this Chengzhou City is a thousand-year-old capital, and the security has always been very good, so don't worry."

"As for the main reason why I went out early this morning, I suddenly learned the news of the star finder, so I didn't have time to wait for the guards, and I left the star finder alone." Zhao Jie paused and replied.

"Did the boy see Sister Xingyi? How is she? Yanjing's eyes suddenly lit up, and she asked quickly with a smile.

Zhao Jie nodded and returned: "I found him in front of the gate of the palace, and she said that she is doing well, and now she is in the palace. ”

"Really? So when will she leave the palace and when will we see her? Yeonjing asked eagerly again.

"You'll be able to see him tomorrow." Zhao Jie replied with a smile in his eyes: "We agreed to meet in the storage room." ”

"Yeonjing, what gift do you think I'm going to give to Xingyi?" Zhao Jie suddenly remembered that the meeting gift had not been prepared yet, so he asked Yan Jingdao, "What kind of gift is worthy of my star scope?"

Hearing this, Yan Jing suddenly fell into deep thought, and after a long while, he let go of his fist, raised his head, and said: "Childe, don't you usually have some small inventions, can't you take out something that you didn't have before and give it to Sister Xingyi, so that you can express your heart and not spend too much money.!" ”

"That's right! How did I not think of that? Zhao Jie slapped his forehead and said with a smile: "But what do you want to invent?" As soon as the words fell, Zhao Jie fell into endless thinking again, and he didn't even remember when he returned to the room.

The sun was hanging in the sky, the sun was shining on everything, the air was filled with the smell of flowers, a warm breeze was blowing, people couldn't help but be intoxicated, I don't know when, Yanjing walked into Zhao Jie's room. "Childe, isn't it sunny outside, aren't you going out for a walk?" Yanjing suggested to Zhao Jie with a smile.

Zhao Jie shook his head, and then said: "I'm studying something, so I won't go out, if you have something, just let Zhao Yin send someone to accompany you." ”

"Your Highness laughed, where would I have anything to do?" Yan Jing walked straight to the window, and while propping up the wooden window, she smiled and said, "Your Highness, you must remember that after a night, you need to open the window for ventilation, otherwise there will be a bad smell in the room." ”

Zhao Jie responded with a smile when he heard this: "Yanjing, you are really a good housekeeper, if that man marries you in the future, it is estimated that he will die happily." ”

Yanjing's face turned red when she heard this, and she said modestly: "Where, where, there are still many things I have to learn!" My goal is to become like Sister Xingyi. ”

Before Yanjing's words fell, suddenly, a gust of wind blew into Zhao Jie's room from the window, and the paper on the desktop suddenly flew away.

"Yanjing, it's too windy, open the window a little smaller." Zhao Jie quickly reached out and grabbed some papers, and called out loudly.

Yeonjing quickly did so, so the wind in the room stopped, and the paper slowly fell from the air to the ground. Yeonjing glanced at the room and quickly entered the state of tidying up. "I figured out what to do." Zhao Jie suddenly said in surprise, completely startling Yanjing.

"Childe, what did you say? Why shout so loudly? Yanjing asked with a blank face.

"I said I knew what I was going to do and give it to the planet." Zhao Jie was overjoyed and said: "I want to make Kong Ming lanterns and let them fly the girl's youthful dreams." As soon as the words fell, Zhao Jie rushed out of the door with great interest, leaving Yanjing, who was dazed and smiling bitterly, alone in the room.

Kong Ming lantern, also known as wishing lantern, is an ancient handicraft that is mostly used for blessings. The structure of Kong Ming lantern is simple, the material is convenient, easy to make, the main body is mostly made of bamboo grate, the second paper paste is made of lampshade, and the bottom of the bracket is also composed of bamboo grate. Because its shape is not limited, it can be large or small, round or square, so it also has a high ornamentality. And if you want to make the Kong Ming lantern rise into the air, just place wax oil in the middle of the bracket at the bottom, light it, and let it go when the Kong Ming lantern expands. Imagine what a dreamy night it would be on a clear night, with a large number of Kong Ming lanterns flying at the same time, and the lights dotting the dark sky like stars
