Chapter 162: The Qingyu Case
In previous years, most of the emperors were happy with the people on the tower of Chengtianmen City, saying that they were happy with the people, but Chengtianmen Hengjie was in the imperial city, how could ordinary people enter, let alone witness the face of the sky. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
But this year, because it is the first year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin became the emperor and changed the first year of the Yuan Dynasty, so the place of celebration was changed to the Suzaku Gate, realizing the real sense of enjoying with the people, although ordinary people still can't get too close, but at least the emperor and queen on the city tower can be seen from a distance.
The sky has just darkened, and all the colored lights, colorful trees and other things are eagerly lit.
The emperor's family and the family members of officials with sufficient grades climbed the Suzaku Gate Tower.
Those who were of a worse grade sat in a shed erected near the gate tower, and those who were worse could only stand and watch.
After the waiter finished reading the greetings with his throat, Li Shimin waved his hand and said that the grand Shangyuan Festival Lantern Festival officially began.
Everyone was eating, drinking, chatting, looking at the colorful lanterns, enjoying the singing, dancing, juggling, and juggling performed in turn, and no one noticed that there were two less spectators on the castle tower, or no one said anything about it.
Anyway, Li Chengqian looked at the two figures that disappeared in the shadows behind him, and secretly shook his head and sighed.
Wu Yuanqing and Xiangcheng sneaked down from the city tower and dodged into the crowd in the distance.
When they ran to a place where they could no longer see the people on the city tower clearly, the two of them let out a long breath.
"Brother Yuanqing, where are we going to play now" Xiangcheng, who was dressed in a snow-white mink fur, asked with an excited red face.
"Listen to you, we will go wherever you say" Wu Yuanqing said with a smile.
"The lights over there are so beautiful, let's go see the lights," Xiangcheng looked around, pointed to a forest of lights and said.
Wu Yuanqing nodded in Xiangcheng's expectant eyes.
"Giggles, look at the lights," Xiangcheng smiled happily and took Wu Yuanqing's hand.
"Ah, this carp lantern is so beautiful, it's so realistic, Brother Yuanqing, look at it, this fish's eyes look like it can move."
"Wow, this lantern is a little monkey, it's so cute."
From time to time, the shouts of surprise from Xiangcheng sounded in the lantern forest, and some people dressed as scholars were carefully looking at the riddles on the lanterns, thinking about what the riddle was, and were disturbed by the excited shouts of Xiangcheng, and they all turned their heads and looked at it dissatisfied.
When it became clear that it was a beautiful little girl who was shouting, the dissatisfaction on the faces of these people disappeared and was replaced by a smile of understanding.
Not to mention that it has been the era of looking at faces since ancient times, if this is a stinky girl, these people must have begun to complain.
Although these people once again focused on the lantern riddle, Xiangcheng was still embarrassed to stick out his tongue, and his voice was lowered a lot.
"Xiangcheng, which of these lanterns do you like, tell Brother Yuanqing, I'll snatch them back for you," Wu Yuanqing said dotingly touching Xiangcheng's head.
"Grab it back, it's not good," Xiangcheng looked up and said in surprise.
"Ah, what kind of eyes are you, am I so domineering? What I mean by snatching it back means guessing the riddle and winning the lamp back," Wu Yuanqing was so angry by the meaning expressed in Xiangcheng's eyes that he said angrily.
"Really, Brother Yuanqing can still guess lantern riddles?" Xiangcheng's eyes clearly showed that he didn't believe what he had just said, but he asked in surprise.
"Girl, you don't know my brother's strength too much, I have such a good literary style, guess the meaning of the lantern riddle" Wu Yuanqing said with his nostrils facing to the sky.
"Then I want that," Xiangcheng said, pointing to the lanterns that surrounded the most people.
It was a lantern painted with the nine heavens of the phoenix dance, which was not only lifelike, but also the largest one in the lantern forest.
The two of them squeezed in from the crowd and came to the lantern.
"Why is there no mystery on this," Xiangcheng was surprised to find that there was not a word on the wooden sign hanging under the lantern.
"Who said it wasn't, there isn't a word to guess," a person next to him sighed when he heard Xiangcheng's question.
"I don't know what it means, I can't guess at all, there have been several waves of people just now, and none of them have a clue" Then this person's words, someone spoke again.
"No one can guess such a simple lantern riddle, it seems that the level of people who guess the riddle is not high," Wu Yuanqing said with a smile.
Wu Yuanqing was telling the truth, because he already had a mystery in his heart, but others didn't know that he knew, so as soon as he said this, he offended everyone who was thinking and meditating hard and couldn't figure it out.
"Our level is low, your level is high, you come"
"That is, if you can guess it, we are willing to bow down, if you can't guess, where did you come from, go back"
Everyone is blaming Wu Yuanqing.
"This brother has already guessed the answer to the riddle," a relatively steady scholar asked.
Wu Yuanqing returned the salute and said with a smile: "Exactly, I have already guessed it below."
"Oh, I don't know what the mystery is, please advise me," the scholar said.
"I don't dare to give advice, but the mystery is really simple, it's just a mystery," Wu Yuanqing waved his hand and said.
"Enigma?" The scholar was a little confused, how could it be a mystery, wouldn't the person in front of him not know what to do here.
"Lost, it's a lost mystery, there is not a word in this riddle, it naturally means wordless, the riddle is speechless, of course it's a mystery, so the mystery is the lost mystery" Wu Yuanqing saw that the scholar looked at himself suspiciously, so he had to explain in detail.
"That's right" someone in the crowd reacted quickly, patted his thigh and said excitedly: "It's so simple, why didn't I think of it, the mystery didn't say a word, isn't it just a lost mystery."
"Brother Tai talent, admire and admire" The scholar bowed deeply to the ground and saluted again.
"Where, where, luck," Wu Yuanqing said modestly.
After leaving the lantern forest with the won, Xiangcheng said excitedly: "So many people can't guess it, Brother Yuanqing can guess it at once, it's amazing."
"That's it, don't look at who my brother is," Wu Yuanqing said proudly.
"Yes, yes, you are the most capable brother of Yuanqing. Brother Yuanqing, let's take a look over there" After Xiangcheng praised Wu Yuanqing, he pointed to the place where juggling was being performed on the other side.
"Okay"
.................
The two of them played for almost two hours, and the lantern festival was coming to an end, so they walked back hand in hand.
When I arrived at the bottom of the city tower, in the shadows, the smile on Xiangcheng's face disappeared, and it was replaced by a thick sorrow.
"What's wrong Xiangcheng, why are you unhappy" Wu Yuanqing discovered the abnormality of Xiangcheng.
"Thank you, Brother Yuanqing, today is the happiest Shangyuan Festival I've ever had," Xiangcheng said in a choked voice after a moment of silence.
"Why are you still crying, don't cry, don't cry, next year's Shangyuan Festival, Brother Yuanqing will still spend it with Xiangcheng" Wu Yuanqing hurriedly whispered comfort.
"But Brother Yuanqing is going to marry Sister Wang, and he will accompany Sister Wang next year," Xiangcheng said with tears rolling down his cheeks and sobbing.
"With your sister Wang, Brother Yuanqing can also accompany Xiangcheng," Wu Yuanqing said.
"No, Sister Wang will be unhappy" Xiangcheng felt sour in his heart, still thinking about Wang Ziyu.
"Oh, Brother Yuanqing is going to marry Xiangcheng in the future, so naturally he can accompany Xiangcheng for the holidays, your sister Wang won't be so careful," Wu Yuanqing said.
"Brother Yuanqing wants to marry me, is it true?" Xiangcheng raised his little face full of tears and asked.
"Of course," Wu Yuanqing nodded vigorously.
"Then Brother Yuanqing likes Xiangcheng, like he likes Sister Wang" Xiangcheng asked faintly.
"That's natural, I don't like Xiangcheng, how could my brother want to marry Xiangcheng," Wu Yuanqing said loudly.
"But Brother Yuanqing has never written a poem for Xiangcheng, but he has written for Sister Wang," Xiangcheng still whispered like a mosquito.
"Eh, write a poem" Wu Yuanqing was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Xiangcheng was talking about the poem that the peach blossoms were still smiling in the spring breeze.
"Then my brother will also write a poem for Xiangcheng, today is the Shangyuan Festival, so let's write the Shangyuan Festival." Wu Yuanqing said this, cleared his throat and read: "The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night." More blows down, stars like rain. BMW carved cars are full of fragrance. The sound of the phoenix flute moves, the light of the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night.
Moth snow willow golden wisps. The laughter is full of dark fragrance. The crowd is looking for him thousands of times. Suddenly looking back, the man was there, and the lights were dim. ”
Xiangcheng threw himself into Wu Yuanqing's arms with a red face, let go of his thoughts, and the whole person was intoxicated by the beautiful lyrics.
At this time, Li Shimin, who was on the city tower, looked at the two of them with a dark face.
