Chapter 155: Wish Lamp
"You guys, come here." Qian Zimo said to them while fiddling with a few white lanterns.
Nan Fengyu shook her head helplessly, and said in her heart, sister! Although I know what it is, it really hurts my heart to ignore my brother so directly!
Gongsun Wuwu broke free from his father's arms, and surrounded Qianzi Mo with a fart. There was a thief's glint in those dark jewel-like eyes.
"Mother."
"Take it." Qian Zimo handed a brush to Gongsun Wuwu.
"Mother, what are you doing?" Gongsun Wuwu looked up at Qianzi Mo suspiciously.
"Write your wish on a lantern." Qian Zimo said lightly.
"Mother, write your wish on the lantern to come true!" Gongsun Wuwu said with some suspicion.
"Of course............ No, I can't! It's just a belief and a custom. It's up to people! If you wish you had five million taels of gold, but if you don't act or earn, these five million taels of gold won't fall from the sky! Qian Zimo explained funny.
Gongsun Wuwu let out a long oh. Although he knew that it was unreliable, he still wrote his wish on his lantern. Then, Qian Zimo helped him open the Kong Ming lantern, lit it and let it fly.
"Gongsun Jiuye, why don't you write? Don't you have a wish! Nan Fengyu unceremoniously ridiculed his brother-in-law. Gongsun Jiuye ignored him, just raised his head and quietly looked at the white lanterns floating in the sky, one after another lanterns slowly flew up, and one after another lights flickered in the sky. When one lantern is raised, the other flies farther and farther away, until it disappears. The lanterns fluttering in the sky are as dazzling as stars in the night. It's hard to help but look sideways.
The emperor and the ministers and envoys also picked up the lanterns assigned to them by the housekeeper of the Ning Palace, and also learned to open them, then light them, and then release them. Even the people inside and outside the city walked to a wide place to look up, this bright spark in the sky.
"Mother, why do so many lanterns fly? How many lanterns are there! Gongsun Wuwu asked Qianzi Mo while handing Gongsun Jiuye a lantern that had not yet been opened.
Qian Zimo couldn't explain why this lantern flew. Only picked the latter answers.
"One thousand and one, on behalf of the one thousand and one wishes I gave to you father and son."
"But mother, one thousand and one, my father and I have no one and can only get five hundred. If my father and I both have a thousand and one wishes, you should prepare two thousand and two lanterns. Gongsun said earnestly without worry.
Qianzimo blinked, such a serious child is really .............
"Arithmetic is so good. Are you really only seven years old? Qian Zimo was speechless and forgot the fact that this ancient child was precocious.
Gongsun Jiuye held the lantern and opened it while listening carefully to the conversation between the two of them. The corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked up a smile.
He didn't write any wishes, but simply lit a small piece of black with a pungent smell hanging from under the lantern, and let it slowly fly into the sky.
"Father, you haven't written your wish yet!" Gongsun Wuwu turned his head and saw that his father did not write a wish, so he said seriously.
"Father's wish is that you grow up safe and happy." Gongsun Jiuye touched his son's little head and smiled dotingly.
Qian Zimo looked at the father and son, and unconsciously became distracted.
"What do you think?" Nan Fengyu leaned into her ear and asked curiously.
"I was thinking, in my previous life, when my brother celebrated my birthday, every time he made a wish, he wished that I would be happy and safe. But. He didn't celebrate his birthday. These are the words that Qianzi Mo choked in his throat.
"Fool, my brother naturally sincerely hopes that you will be happy and safe. It's the same now. Nanfeng Jade gently touched the tip of her small nose.
Qianzimo smiled bitterly.
"Let's not talk about it, let's get ready for fireworks." Qianzi Mo pouted and said in a coquettish tone.
"Yes, yes, Princess!" Nanfengyu reluctantly went to light the lead of the fireworks.
And the intimate behavior between the two of them just now was seen by a certain prince. A certain prince stared at a certain princess who was pouting and coquettish. It looked like it was about to be blown up.
Gongsun Jiuye rushed over and grabbed Qian Zimo's wrist tightly. Staring at her. Qianzimo, who was preparing to go down, was baffled by him. She really didn't understand where the anger on his face came from.
After thinking about it, Qian Zimo still casually glanced at Nanfeng Yu, who was looking at her dotingly. She was still a little happy when she saw Gongsun Jiuye's jealous appearance, and opened her lips slightly, wanting to explain something. But looking back, it won't be long before I have to say goodbye, and there is no need to bother to explain. Simply, pretend not to know.
"Father, don't pull your mother. My mother said that it would be arranged later. Gongsun looked at Gongsun Jiuye with worry-free eyes.
Gongsun Jiuye pursed his lips. On the stairs behind him, a eunuch was struggling to run up. finally went to the top of the viewing platform, but he was already tired and out of breath. He sat on the ground made of blue bricks with his legs limp, gasping for air.
It took a long time before I could barely speak.
"Lord, the emperor...... The emperor said that if the princess did not make arrangements, please ...... The two of you go down and receive you together...... Foreign envoys. ”
"Has this princess said that there is no show? You go and tell the emperor that if he is busy, he will go back first. Qian Zimo said coldly. Walking to the side and picking up two bamboo tubes, the eunuch saw that his scalp was numb, his legs were weak, and he rolled down the stairs directly. This Princess Ning is a well-known female evil god, and he can't afford to mess with her. Fortunately, there are blue brick walls on both sides of this staircase, otherwise, if he is not killed by Princess Ning, he will fall to his death first.
The eunuch endured the soreness all over his body and told the emperor what Princess Ning said, and the emperor was simply angry, but unfortunately, the fourth child of his family protected his daughter-in-law tightly, and he had no choice but to convict him. On the grounds of physical discomfort, he led a group of ministers and envoys to leave the viewing platform and returned to Zhenghe Palace to continue feasting and talking.
Gongsun Jiuye hugged Gongsun Wuwu with an expectant face, and looked at Qianzi Mo who was preparing to set off fireworks.
"If you talk to the old emperor like this, you won't be afraid that he will kill you."
"Don't be afraid. If he dared to kill me, he could have done it as early as when something happened to the queen. Qian Zimo said while putting the bamboo tube.
Gongsun Jiuye looked at her calm appearance, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked up a wicked smile.
"So, relying on this king, you are willful, right?"
Qian Zimo made a movement in his hand and hummed softly.
"What if you leave the king? Can you still be so spontaneous? Gongsun Jiuye asked this, which not only deeply touched Qian Zimo, but also made him feel a heart.
"Father, where is my mother going?" Gongsun Wuwu didn't move what his parents said, but that sentence of leaving the king made him afraid. He had just had the love of his parents that he had longed for, and he did not want and was afraid of losing the warmth that only his mother could give. Although she is only a stepmother, he is also satisfied.
