Chapter 22: No Jokes

"Please also ask the prince to light the fire." Xu Miaoyun asked the little maid to hand Zhu Di a torch.

Zhu Di looked at Xu Miaoyun, took the torch, and said to everyone: "For many years, you have taken care of the Yan King's Mansion for this king, and today is the first time in the mansion to celebrate Chinese New Year's Eve, may the new year be harmonious, happy and peaceful." Tomorrow everyone will have a day off, if you want to go home to save your relatives, you can ask the housekeeper for leave before the fifth day of the new year, in addition, next month everyone's monthly silver will be doubled. ”

There was a burst of cheers below, everyone's faces were filled with the joy of the New Year, Zhu Di walked to the side of the dragon's head, lit the core with a torch, and then retreated to Xu Miaoyun's side.

"Lord Wang, the time to witness the miracle has arrived!"

Zhu Di, like all the others, watched the gradually burning core without blinking, until the core was all burned out, and the fireworks that formed the ball burst out at the same time in an instant, bursting out with colorful brilliance, illuminating the entire night.

At the same time, there is a core that slowly burns to the dragon's head, burning the rope that holds the first domino together, and then we see that after the first domino falls, it not only overpowers the candle behind it, so that the candle ignites the fireworks next to it, but also overwhelms the dominoes behind, and so on, and then the whole dragon blooms little by little.

Unlike the fireworks at the dragon's head, the fireworks here do not fly into the sky, and although they are only more than a meter high, they are better than their continuous fireworks, turning the entire dragon into a fire dragon.

Zhu Di is accustomed to seeing fireworks all over the city, the scope is wide, the area is large, and he has also seen all kinds of fireworks, but he is shocked by today.

He was really curious, how did Xu Miaoyun come up with such a strange idea, that piece of wood had such a miraculous effect just by placing it, could it be that the master of the rivers and lakes told him?

Xu Miaoyun saw that Zhu Di was looking at it seriously, and knew that he had seen the subtlety, so he pulled him, and then pointed to the roof.

Zhu Di understood, raised his eyebrows, hugged Xu Miaoyun's waist and flew onto the roof, sitting here can not only overlook the panoramic view of the fire dragon, but also look up at the gorgeous fireworks, and also look at the beauty in front of him, so comfortable.

Until the fireworks dissipated, the little maids in the courtyard went to set off fireworks elsewhere in twos and threes, leaving only Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun sitting side by side on the roof, looking at Ying Tiancheng in the distance.

"How did you come up with the idea?" Zhu Di was the first to break the tranquility.

"My master told me." Xu Miaoyun threw the pot to the so-called martial arts master without guilt, and it is estimated that in the future, he will become Xu Miaoyun's backer.

After confirming his guess, Zhu Di didn't speak again, just watched the fireworks in the city go out, and Xu Miaoyun also looked quietly into the distance, feeling a rare tranquility.

Time passed like this, minute by minute, until the fireworks in the capital became less and less, slowly disappeared, and the sound of the hour sounded.

"Lord, the new year has arrived, and the concubine wishes you all the best and all your wishes come true."

Zhu Di didn't answer, but just looked ahead, as if thoughtful.

After a while, he suddenly said, "Are you tired?" "The eyes are still looking into the distance.

"It's been a little bit, I've been sitting for a long time." Xu Miaoyun stretched her waist and shook her arms, a little bit didn't keep up with Zhu Di's rhythm, and was still curious, why didn't Zhu Di answer my words, but suddenly asked such a sentence?

"What this king asks is, are you pretending to be virtuous in front of this king, gentle and demure, tired?" Zhu Di turned his head, looked at Xu Miaoyun's eyes fixedly, and said slowly and deeply word by word.

Xu Miaoyun knew that Zhu Di saw the appearance of arranging the palace in the Tilting Hall during the day, and a lot of things happened at the palace banquet at night, and the lady image she wanted to maintain in a low-key manner before had been destroyed, so she didn't shy away from it later, and she acted in her true colors.

Now that I heard Zhu Di say this, it was expected for a long time, so I didn't feel anything. Just looked into the distance, with a frank and serious face, and said three words lightly: "For life." ”

Zhu Di looked at Xu Miaoyun's serious and deep expression, and suddenly didn't know what it was like in his heart, "You are a woman, what's the matter?" Besides, my father is wise......"

"Since ancient times, which person has achieved great merit and has been able to die a good death? Now if it is determined today, although the Ming Dynasty is prosperous, but the north is still eyeing the tiger, the emperor still needs people who charge into battle, and when I am in the Ming Dynasty and the four seas come to the court, how do I know that the rabbit will not die and the dog will cook? Moreover, today's saints are wise and martial, righteous and thin, and pacify the Quartet with the kings, and no one disagrees, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is benevolent and charitable, and one day, the emperor ......, and at that time, will those generals with heavy troops still surrender? Even what I can think of, how could the emperor not think of it? A hundred years ago, it would definitely clear the obstacles for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you say, who is the obstacle at this time? Although I am a woman, have my relatives been involved in politics since ancient times? Don't talk about it far away, let's just say that in the Tang Dynasty, Yang Yuhuan was loved by Emperor Tang Ming, so there was Yang Guozhong's rebellion, and he died tragically Ma Weipo, not to mention, and he was infamous through the ages. What's more, the Heavenly Holy Lord is a female stream, but with the love of Tang Gaozong to govern a dynasty, although there is a view of the rule of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, but after all, it is mixed, can only leave a wordless tablet to teach future generations to comment. ”

After saying this, Xu Miaoyun looked at Zhu Di fixedly, and then said: "But, Lord Wang, you said, will I allow the same mistakes to be repeated?" Will it be allowed to have a relative who is a bully? Will Da Ming be allowed to change his surname? ”
