Chapter 29: Prequel 02
※※※
Wow! It's amazing!
Although he knew that this year's lantern market was very large, when he saw that the archway built by 8,000 lanterns was unique, Ke Weiqing and the children opened their mouths wide, raised their heads, and sighed again and again. 【】
Come on, come on! Ten for adults, five for children, you can enjoy playing for two hours inside, Bao Jun is satisfied!
There were three or four merchants dressed in flowers, soliciting guests under the archway, and in fact, without their greetings, the tourists threw copper plates into the cash box.
Then, through the archway, to the inside, is surrounded by bamboo fences, wheat straw, wooden planks to build, like a city, and there are two city gates on the left and right, carved with green dragons and white tigers respectively.
Very interesting. Huang Ye said, took out the money bag, and called a vendor, six of us, two big and four small.
Thank you for this official, a total of forty yuan. The vendor was enthusiastic and gave six small wooden plaques to represent admission tickets.
It's a novelty. Ke Weiqing looked at the exquisitely carved wooden sign and said, today's businessmen are getting smarter and smarter.
Of course, the world is peaceful, and it's a harvest year, so everyone is happy! The vendor smiled and said, "Official, please go inside, this is a hole in the sky, and you can also play hide and seek." It's perfect for a family.
He seemed to think that Huang Ye was a big official, and he was particularly flattering, maybe it was his bearing, Ke Weiqing couldn't help laughing.
What are you laughing at? Huang Ye clenched Ke Weiqing's hand.
I'll go to the left. Ke Weiqing shook him off.
We're with Daddy. Tianyu and Tianchen followed.
I....... Huang Ye wanted to follow Ke Weiqing, but Ke Weiqing glared at him, it turned out that Qing'er and Yan'er wanted to go to the White Tiger Gate on the right, and they were already eager to try.
Then I'll be with them. It's fair that one adult with two children.
It's said that you can play hide and seek, so let's have a game. Ke Weiqing said with a smile, it is estimated that the back of the fence wall is a labyrinth, and in an hour, see you at the exit at the back.
Deal. Huangye nodded, and took Qing'er and Yan'er to the White Tiger Gate.
Ke Weiqing led Tianyu and Tianchen and walked through the Qinglong Gate. Inside is a passage surrounded by wooden boards, when you are a little dizzy, the eyes suddenly open up, the colorful lights, and the crystal of ice and snow, in the dark night is as beautiful as a fairy garden.
Yes! It's the Ice Palace! Standing in front of Ke Weiqing is a garden carved and piled up with giant ice blocks, as well as cranes, elk, rabbits and other animals, under the bridge, by the pavilion, there are colorful lanterns, beautiful!
Wow! Great! Tianyu let go of Ke Weiqing's hand and immediately ran to the ice sculpture garden, where many children were playing, and Tianchen also chased after him.
It's really a hole. Ke Weiqing smiled, there is also a towering ice and snow city wall, it is estimated that the other end of the city wall is the passage of the White Tiger Gate.
Although they enter from different places, when they are in the hinterland, they will all come together, so the vendors say that they can play hide and seek.
Ke Weiqing thought about it, walking along the road made of ice bricks, there was gurgling water under the ice, raising fish, and it seemed to be full of life.
This place is really like the Moon Palace, Ke Weiqing raised his head, looked at the moon and couldn't help but think, this kind of place, Yonglin should like it very much.
The person who told Huang Ye to see Ke Weiqing in Tianshan City was Yonglin. Huang Ye thus absolved him of his sins and restored him to the status of prince, except that he had to remain in Gaizhou and never enter the palace unless he was summoned.
But this time is different from the past, thinking that with Xue Yu by his side, Yonglin should be very happy.
Ke Weiqing lowered his head and smiled slightly.
※※※
Gaizhou, the palace of Prince Muren.
Yonglin held the scroll high in both hands and knelt outside the dormitory. The moonlight was bright and clear, especially sunny, and he couldn't help but think, I don't know how Ke Weiqing and his nephews spent tonight?
The royal brotherhood will put on a feast, after all, it is his birthday, but there are too many banquets, which will make people unbearable.
Squeak.
The vermilion temple door opened, and Xue Yu, dressed in red clothes, walked out with a straight face.
Lord, do you know that you are wrong? Xue Yu crouched on the ground, looking at Yonglin level.
Be. Yonglin retracted his thoughts, looked at the handsome young man in front of him, and said flatteringly, this king shouldn't paint that kind of thing...... But you have to admit it, it's beautiful!
Yonglin!
Xue Yu, you said that you want me to draw you. Yonglin's face was innocent.
But I didn't say I wanted you to draw without clothes! Wrong! I asked you to draw it with my clothes on! Xue Yu said in shame.
Because you're so beautiful, I can't help but fantasize about it...... Yours is so charming, it's okay to draw it.
Matter! I'm not as thick-skinned as yours! Xue Yu raised her hand and punched Yonglin.
It hurts! Yonglin hugged his head and screamed, and the people standing in the courtyard heard it, but they just laughed, and no one came out to persuade them.
Anyway, you burned the painting for me! Dare to hang out! What a shame!
Alright, I'll just do it. Yonglin had to say, it's so stingy, it's obviously hanging in the bed, only I can see it.......
What did you say?! Xue Yu, who had originally stood up, squatted down again.
No, ma'am.
Well. Xue Yu got up, walked a few steps, turned back and said, got up to eat the Lantern Festival.
Good! Yonglin smiled. In any case, he has a way to make Xue Yu compromise, speaking of which, he also wants to draw a confused look after Xue Yu is upside down on the lantern.
What are you laughing at? So weird!
Have it? My face is normal. Maybe it's been freezing outside for too long.
Alas. I can't stand you! Saying this, Xue Yu stretched out her hand and covered Yonglin's cheek, is it better?
Well. Yonglin smiled slightly, it was not only his face that was warm, but his heart was even warmer as if it was about to melt.
I like you. Yonglin said, really.
Me too. Xue Yu is never ambiguous at this time, and it is he who taught Yonglin that if he likes it, he must say it and clearly convey his mind to the other party.
Yonglin held Xue Yu's white hands, let's go eat the Lantern Festival and finish our errands!
Errands?
Bed, I always feel that it is time for you to give birth to one.
Bastard! Here you go again! Xue Yu's cheeks were red with shame, but she was still dragged away by Yonglin, laughter, scolding, and frolicking mixed with the sound of firecrackers. This year's Lantern Festival in the Prince's Mansion was jubilant up and down again, and it was ...... all night.
※※※
The court conforms to the people's hearts, the country is stable, and farming and weaving are prosperous, which is really a blessing ......for the people.
The two young men who looked like scholars walking past Ke Weiqing may have come to participate in the biennial imperial examination.
I didn't expect that during the festival, they would talk about the country in an authentic way, but they looked relaxed and happy, and Ke Weiqing felt the same in his heart.
If Huangye still fights everywhere, then it will be impossible for the country and the people to cultivate and recuperate, and there will be no such a festival.
Dayan wants to be a world, it can't be rashly radicalized by force, otherwise it will backfire, and the people will not have a good life, Huang Ye can understand this truth, and he is worthy of being the first Ming Jun in the world.
Ke Weiqing still has a dream-like feeling that he can accompany Huangye all the time.
In particular, when he finally mustered up the courage to show Huang Ye the real reason why the first emperor had exterminated the Wuque Clan, Huang Ye actually said that I had already guessed it.
What the? Did you know?
Well. Although I didn't expect it at first, I understood it as soon as I contacted it. Huang Ye said that his father was born by Wu Que, and in the court of the Emperor Tai Shang back then, there was a prime minister named Dong Wuqiu, who was a Wu Que man.
Huang Ye paused for a moment, and then said that his father couldn't accept this fact, so he chose to slaughter the village, in fact, he did it...... It's silly.
Ay?
Is blood indelible by killing? Everyone is a big swallow people, who gave birth to it, is it really so important? Huang Ye shook his head and sighed, Dong Wuqiu left the palace to protect his father, but unfortunately his father didn't understand his heart, and he was always obsessed with his origin, and even full of resentment, why bother?
Because of his own background, Chun Yuwen didn't know what true love was all his life, he was narrow-minded and suspicious, even if he was on the throne, he was never happy.
It's just that, I can't control the affairs of my fathers so much. Huang Ye said, Wei Qing, don't you want to leave my side again with this matter.
Don't you really mind? Ke Weiqing still found it hard to believe.
Wei Qing, if I am not the emperor, I am a commoner, or we are reversed. Will you dislike me just because I will have children?
Of course not! If Huang Ye can have a baby, he probably ...... You'll be glad of it.
That's it. Huang Ye smiled and clenched Ke Weiqing's hand, you will have a baby, and I can't be happy, so don't think nonsense, I will want to punish you......
Punish? It's that one again...... I don't want it!
No, I'm interested, so I'll go to the back of the rockery to do it, right? Huangye has a dead face, haven't the children been out of school yet?
No way! No...... Wow...... Not.
The events that followed made Ke Weiqing blush when he thought about it.
Ha ha! I've got Daddy!
Suddenly, a child wearing a roe deer mask pounced and hugged Ke Weiqing's waist, interrupting his blushing heartbeat recollection.
Yan'er! Ke Weiqing chuckled and grabbed his hand, why are you here?
I came from there, and my father said that this is a big place, so we can play whatever we want, and bought us masks. Yan'er took off the roe deer mask, stuffed it into Ke Weiqing's hand, and put it on her father! It's mighty!
Good. Shrewd. Ke Weiqing then remembered that he was going to find Tianyu, Tianchen. Who knew that they actually played hide and seek with the Iron Eagle Knight.
It's not the first time they've been protected by the Iron Eagle Knight, and they especially like Qingyun and Qingyun, probably twins, so they feel very close.
It's just that tonight, when the brothers of the Qing family are not there, they are even more presumptuous to play tricks on the Iron Eagle Knight.
The children were drilling around in the ice and snow cave, Qing'er reached out and grabbed Tianchen, but Tianchen shouted, wrong, wrong, I am Tianyu!
What the? Qing'er let go of his hand, only to see him sliding out along the ice track
