Chapter Seventy-One: The Left Hand is Taiping, and the Right Hand is Wan'er
Wu Qing glanced at the faces of the maids one by one, and in an instant, a smile appeared on the corner of Wu Qing's mouth, and Shangguan Wan'er stood there impressively, looking at Wu Qing with a smile in her eyebrows.
When I really look back at the twilight, the Yiren are always in the dim light.
Wu Qing was happy in his heart, and immediately asked, "Cousin, why did you come tonight, didn't you go to the Lantern Festival?" ”
Taiping saw that Wu Qing's eyes were always glancing at Shangguan Wan'er, and he was a little angry, and said, "I came to go out with you tonight." Originally, I went to my father to theorize, but he didn't know what to do this time, he just didn't take back his fate, and I couldn't convince my father, so I had to come to visit you. ”
Looking at Taiping, who seemed to have been wronged, Wu Qing's heart moved, it seems that this Taiping nature is excellent, and history is to blame, which made him have a preconceived view of Taiping.
"It's nothing, the emperor and the queen naturally have their reasons, and we, as courtiers, should understand the emperor and the queen's painstaking efforts. Thank you, cousin. Wu Qing said very seriously.
Although he has a lot of opinions about Gaozong and Empress Wu, he can only hide them in his heart. Who called someone an emperor? However, Wu Qing also has an opinion on Gaozong and Empress Wu, and the teaching workshop can be withdrawn, but he has to keep the Qingxin Pavilion for himself, but he didn't expect that the Qingxin Pavilion created by himself was not recognized by the world, and he didn't know who the new owner of the pavilion was, or if the Qingxin Pavilion would be directly vacant.
Taiping smiled: "Cousin, you really say that as the queen mother said, you really say that." ”
Wu Qing wondered, when did this martial queen become a roundworm in his stomach, but he still arched his hand and said: "Weichen is deeply honored. Does my cousin still visit the Lantern Festival? ”
Princess Taiping couldn't wait to go out immediately, she already liked to play and be lively, so she smiled and said, "Let's go, cousin." I wanted to hold Wu Qing's arm, but I thought that she was a princess, so I didn't stretch out my hand, and my little face was red, but fortunately, under the light, I couldn't see clearly.
Wu Qing said, "Take them with you." He pointed to those palace maids, as well as his maidservant Qiu Ju.
So a large group of people surrounded Wuqing and Princess Taiping out of the Wufu, came out of Jishanfang, and walked along the Heavenly Street to the Imperial City. There is juggling on the shore of Luoshui in front of the end gate, which is very fun for the people of Luoyang in this era.
Wu Qing approached Shangguan Wan'er intentionally or unintentionally, and then forcibly caught Shangguan Wan'er's little hand hiding. Start with cold. Wu Qing was taken aback, he wasn't so cold when he held Shangguan Wan'er's hand before, what's going on?
At this time, he happened to be seen by Taiping, and Taiping said angrily: "Cousin only wants to hold Wan'er's hand, but doesn't he want to hold his cousin's hand?" ”
Wu Qing was taken aback, and then a little surprised, and said: "Cousin, you are a princess, it's not appropriate to let me, a mortal, hold hands casually." ”
Taiping pursed his lips and said, "What's wrong, you don't want to take it." ”
Wu Qing was depressed and ruthless, so he took Princess Taiping's hand, and his hand was smooth and soft, Wu Qing sighed, the hands of these two goddesses in their childhood were different.
So Wu Qing held Princess Taiping with his left hand, and Shangguan Wan'er with his right hand while enjoying the night view of Tianjie and telling stories about the gods. Behind them were several palace maids, as well as Qiu Ju.
The three of them walked all the way, enjoyed the night view of the Luohe River on the Tianjin Bridge, only to see the lanterns stretching along the side of the Luohe River, if the Luohe River has not frozen, there will be a lot of river lanterns in the river, he can't help but think about the scene when he first saw Wan's childhood, at this time Wan'er also looked at Wuqing, Wuqing couldn't wait to take it into his arms, but the other hand was holding Taiping, and he could only press it with his fingers, although Wan'er didn't understand the relationship between men and women, but still felt Wuqing's kindness, and nodded his little head.
The three of them continued to move forward, only to see that the square in front of the end gate was crowded, the laughter and shouting were endless, all kinds of lanterns dotted the whole square, there were talented and beautiful women who were guessing lantern riddles, and some were watching juggling performances. Even some of the people who sell Dianabol refuse to let go of such a wonderful night.
Wu Qing and the three of them saw that there was an artist who was breathing fire in his mouth, and Wu Qing was also very surprised, you must know that this is a unique job in the Qin dialect, but I didn't expect someone to perform in this place.
I still remember when I was a child when I watched Qin Yan in the countryside, my favorite thing to watch was these fire-breathing and sword-swallowing jokes. Wu Qing felt cordial, and the time when he was a teenager returned to his previous life.
At this time, the drums on the tower of Duanmen City were beating loudly, and I only heard someone shouting loudly with a long voice: "Your Majesty is coming, and you will have fun with the people!" ”
"Your Majesty is coming, and you will have fun with the people!"
A few sounds in a row, endlessly.
Wu Qing pulled the two girls to look towards the Duanmen City Tower, only to see a group of people who were pressed by the black pressure appeared on the city tower, and then saw a boiling under the Duanmen, as if they were fighting for something.
Wu Qing was very surprised, and couldn't help asking, "What is the emperor doing on the city tower?" What are the people down there doing? ”
Taiping Yan smiled, but he knew a little, and said: "In previous years, my father and emperor had to have fun with the people during the Shangyuan Festival, and ordered the palace people to give copper coins on the tower of the Suzaku Gate, and now it is the palace people who splash copper coins on the city tower." ”
Nima, extravagant, loser, showmanship, do you think that if you reward Kaiyuan Tongbao, the people will be happy, and the people's life will be better? Ignorance!
Of course, Wu Qing's face showed a sense of adoration, and he exclaimed: "Your Majesty." ”
"I don't see it that way." Taiping said.
Wu Qing was stunned for a moment, could it be that this girl had the same thoughts as herself, and couldn't help asking, "What does that cousin think?" ”
Taiping pointed to the people who were crazy to grab copper coins and said: "Look at the end of the door, the originally good lively scene has become chaotic, not to mention how many people have grabbed copper coins, if there are old and weak women and children among the people who rob money, then what should I do, maybe they will be trampled to death." So this method is not advisable. ”
Although he didn't talk about the essence, he was able to see a truth through these appearances, which made Wu Qing have the idea of re-examining Princess Taiping, and he couldn't help but turn his head to Shangguan Wan'er, the future minister of the Tang Dynasty, and asked, "Wan'er, what do you think?" ”
"Me?" Wan'er was a little unconfident, but she still said: "The emperor has a reason to do things, and the slaves and maids don't dare to speculate." ”
Yes, this Shangguan Wan'er is very smart.
Taiping smiled: "Wan'er, you say it, there are only three of us here, no one will know, not to mention that my Datang will not be convicted for his words." ”
Receiving encouragement, Shangguan Wan'er said: "Aside from the fact that the emperor is happy with the people, the emperor ordered the palace people to throw copper coins, which is a waste in itself, not to mention that the people are just grabbing money for the sake of grabbing money, and their hearts may not be grateful to the emperor." Although the emperor rewarded a lot of copper coins, but the people below robbed the money more, regardless of whether every person can grab a coin, even if it is distributed to the people, I am afraid that each person will not get a copper coin. ”
Hearing that Shangguan Wan'er's statement coincided with herself, Wu Qing sighed that he really deserved to be the future minister of the Tang Dynasty, he already understood many truths at such a young age, and he really loved people.
Taiping also felt that there was some truth, but after all, she was not as smart as Shangguan Wan'er, so when she saw a big man rushing out of the crowd, and a group of soapy clothes behind her were chasing after her, she was deeply attracted to the past.
Wu Qing was stunned, and when he saw the rough face of the man they ran to in the Qing Dynasty, he couldn't help but be surprised!
