Chapter 305: Fireworks
Mao De counted the time in his heart, estimated that it was almost over, and said with a smile: "Princess, let's not go to the courtyard, just open the window, and you can see the gifts from the Fourth Highness." β
Li Shanggong hurriedly took the thickest piece of the coat and put it on the princess - Imperial Doctor Zhao said that there was no need to maintain it too much, and Li Shanggong never dared to let the princess blow the north wind at night.
Several lights were lit in the courtyard outside the window, anyway, there is no shortage of lights in Anhe Palace now.
Just looking at the little lights, Liu Yan remembered that at this time the year before last, Ozu was still there, and there was a particularly skillful Li Wu who made a lot of unique lantern paper-cuts.
In the blink of an eye, they were gone.
Maude stretched out his hand and pointed to the southwest, and said with a smile: "Princess, look over there." β
As if agreed, after Maude said this, fireworks rose into the sky over there.
Liu Yan smiled.
"It turns out that the fourth brother prepared this, and this is not for me alone, so it can't be counted."
Maude said: "Princess, let's see if it's good-looking, if it's not good-looking, then you will reward me with a board, and I will have nothing to say." β
The fireworks exploded in the air, looking no different from the festivals of previous years, nothing more than flowers blooming richly, splendid mountains and rivers, national peace and security, dragons and phoenixes are auspicious.
But after that, the rest will look good.
Although Mao De handled this matter, Mao De didn't know why His Royal Highness arranged it this way.
But Liu Yan knows.
As soon as she saw the fireworks in the sky, it looked like a line of geese, and Mao De next to her was still explaining: "This is a guest of the wild goose." β
Liu Yan smiled and shook his head.
No, this is what the little brother told her before.
I forgot how old she was at that time, my brother took her to the town to watch the lights, and there were people in the town who set off fireworks, every year, and I don't know why they didn't put them on the Shangyuan Festival that year.
It was a very cold day, and there was snow on the road. She didn't see the fireworks, she choked and refused to leave, she always felt that if she waited for someone else, she would let it go, and the little brother would accompany her to wait, but when the people who came to the town to see the lights and catch up with the excitement were almost gone, Liu Yan realized that people who came over would not let it go this year.
The little brother took her back, but she couldn't walk, so the little brother carried her for a while. The snow was already slippery, and she had to go down to the ground by herself if she didn't cry.
It's cold, but it's not cold when you walk.
By the way, there were not only two of them who went to the town that time, it seemed that there were one or two people from the same village, and one of them was a little related to their family.
The little brother didn't know where to find a piece of candy for her to eat, and told her that the fireworks set off by the family in the town were not very good-looking, and he would also set off fireworks for her in the future, and put them all she liked, the most beautiful.
Many years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Liu Yan has almost forgotten what the little brother said to her on the Shangyuan Festival when she stepped on the snow to return to the village.
She also felt that the little brother must have forgotten.
I didn't expect him to remember.
This Hongyan guest had seen it in her hometown before, and she didn't understand what these fireworks were famous for, but the little brother told her.
Of course, the fireworks in the countryside are not the same as those in the palace, even if they are installed with all kinds of nice names, in fact, after they are released, they are 108,000 miles away from the effect they should have. But the villagers didn't care, everyone said that this fireworks were good, and every time a new one lit up in the air, everyone was jubilant underneath.
At the end of the year, the Shangyuan Festival is probably the most lively and happy day.
The little brother did what he said, and the fireworks he set off were all seen or heard of in the town when he was a child.
In fact, Liu Yan doesn't remember what those fireworks looked like, but he remembered the colors, golden, silver, purple, red, shiny, as if flowers bloomed one after another in the night sky.
She still remembers the smell after the fireworks, a little choking, but she doesn't know why she thought it smelled good at the time.
No one in the Anhe Palace spoke, whether it was the master or the slaves and maids, everyone looked up and admired this magnificent fireworks feast.
At the end of the fireworks, there are a few more auspicious words.
"Ping, Ann."
The auspicious words of Guotai Min'an have been let go before, and these are obviously only for Liu Yan.
Li Shanggong said softly: "Princess, this is a special prayer for the princess by His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, and the princess's illness will definitely be cured soon." β
Liu Yan nodded.
The next two words are such as and meaning.
These two sentences are often talked about, and they are used indiscriminately, and they are not uncommon.
But now the shiny big characters in the fireworks represent the blessings of the four princes to their sister.
The most ordinary and common word, but also his simplest and most sincere wish.
Maybe it's because her illness is about to get better, or maybe it's that Imperial Doctor Zhao's last prescription is effective-or maybe it's that the fourth prince is sincere to his sister, after the Shangyuan Festival, Liu Yan is indeed getting better day by day, coughing is gradually decreasing, and people are more energetic than before.
It's just that the weather is still cold, and I can't go out and walk around.
When the third princess came to see her, she smiled and said, "Yo, after a year, everyone will be blessed, and you will be reduced." β
Not only has it been reduced, but it has not been out of the house for a long time, and Liu Yan looks fairer than in the summer.
Liu Fang was a little emotional, as if after a year, Liu Yan had completely lost her childishness, and she looked like a big girl.
And it was born so beautifully.
Many people say that the fifth princess was born well, Liu Fang doesn't think Liu Yu looks good, she thinks Liu Yan is more beautiful than Liu Yu, and she is generous and dignified, but Liu Yan has always been unconcerned about clothes and accessories before, unlike Liu Yu, who loves stinky beauty at a young age, and paints eyebrows and powder. Now that Liu Yan has cleaned up, he can compare Liu Yu to him.
Liu Yan touched her faceβshe herself felt as if she had lost some weight.
"I brought you some dried fruit preserves, which are not quite the same as the way they are made in Beijing, so let's taste them fresh."
Looking at her complexion, Liu Yan knew that she was not in a bad mood.
After Guiyuan and the others retreated after serving tea, Liu Yan asked, "Have you reconciled with your brother-in-law?" β
Liu Fang snorted, but there was a smile on his face: "He is a little stupid, but fortunately, he still listens to persuasion." β
That's good.
Liu Yan thinks that just the third brother-in-law, painting those paintings is definitely not as ordinary people say, it is not a serious mind. Most of the time, he looks at those who are not wearing clothes, just like he looks at flowers, birds, fish and insects. But just like the third sister was worried about, if this matter spreads, people outside will definitely not think so, the horse painting the Spring Palace, this strange talk is fragrant and bizarre enough, enough for the people in Beijing to talk about for many years!
In this matter, of course, Liu Yan didn't help his relatives.
She didn't want the third sister to worry about this, so that the husband and wife were not in harmony.
Since Zhao Lei is willing to listen to persuasion, it is naturally better.
Liu Yan couldn't go out, and as soon as Liu Fang came, she pretended to be a belly of fresh topics and said to relieve her boredom.
