The lights are brilliant, and the whole country celebrates.

On the occasion of the birthday of the imperial concubine, the imperial city was trapped in a sea of lamps and flowers, and it was not as prosperous as the world.

It is rumored that the emperor loved this concubine the most, although she was not a flower and a moon, but she was thoughtful, and even proficient in magic, and assisted the emperor from an inconspicuous prince to sit on the throne today during the palace civil strife many years ago.

However, people like the new and hate the old in their bones, even if they treat her as a living bodhisattva, but how can gratitude and feelings be compared? According to the outside world, the emperor is just afraid of the imperial concubine's spells, and he is not bent on her.

No matter what the truth is, this is always a matter in the court, and what does it have to do with the ordinary people in the outside world? In the peaceful and prosperous world, you are at ease, live hard, and enjoy the moment. As for the matter of spells, in the end, everyone made up stories to pass the time after dinner.

"You said that this lady really knows magic and can turn things around?"

"Nonsense, are you a nerd? How could such a thing be? Oh, you still don't allow His Majesty the Emperor and Niangniang to truly love each other? ”

Mingyue heard the chat of the people behind her, and couldn't help but laugh in a low voice. This was the first time she had come to this imperial capital, and she was really dazzled. Just in time for the festival, it was so lively. This made her, who has lived for more than 20 years in the new century, addicted, this is the so-called ancient prosperity.

Mingyue was thinking about something interesting, and suddenly heard a cheerful voice in front of her, "Hurry up, hurry up, it's time to start!" ”

"Excuse me, what's going to start?" Mingyue stopped a young girl.

"Over there, there will be fireworks on the other side of the moat for a while, you have to hurry up, if you can catch the first fireworks, you will have good luck all year long." The girl said excitedly, and her tone was fast, as if it was too late to leave.

Mingyue followed the crowd, and the wind was blowing under her feet.

Then she finally figured it out. It turns out that today is the birthday of the emperor's favorite concubine, and fireworks will be set off every year on her birthday, and if you can see the first fireworks bloom at the scene, you will definitely have good luck in the coming year.

Everyone regards the imperial concubine as a symbol of the country's prosperity, as long as she is well, it seems that the country will be better, with bumper harvests year after year, and will not be disturbed by war.

Mingyue came to a farther place and sat down. There were already people in front of her, and she leaned under a small tree, admiring the world.

As a beautiful girl with a big brain, Mingyue also once fantasized about what would happen if she crossed over one day?

Entering the palace to be a mother, becoming the emperor's favorite concubine, and walking to the pinnacle of life should be a plot that every delicate girl will not miss. But she was good, but when she opened her eyes, she saw a broken mountain village, and a little brother who was too simple to be good, and who was too honest to be good.

The little brother said that she was rescued from the bottom of the mountain by herself, and before she fell into a coma, she had said something like "My home is in the imperial capital, send me home, and my father will definitely be grateful to you". However, the little brother didn't want to, she forgot all this after she woke up, and even changed a person at all.

Hearing the word imperial capital, Mingyue felt that she seemed to have some hope in her traversal life, and she couldn't tell which family she was. Looking at the only jewelry on his body, it seems to be quite valuable. So she exchanged money and vowed to come to the imperial capital to "find relatives" after all the hardships.

I walked for half a day and arrived.

It turns out that this small village is only on the outskirts of the city.

Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly lit up the night sky in front of her, and when she looked up, she couldn't help but shout, "Wow! It's so beautiful! She had never seen such beautiful fireworks, clusters, so big, so bright, turning night into day, and the whole sky into a world of fireworks. ”

She listened to the cheers of those around her.

Suddenly, the cheers seemed to have changed their taste, and everyone shouted and dodged in all directions. The beautiful fireworks in the sky were like small swords, falling from the sky quickly, scattering in all directions, hitting the person's body, and the person was burned.

This kind of scene is not something that ordinary people have ever experienced, everyone panicked, but although the moat is long, the fireworks cannot all fall into the river. At the gates, there was an open space and there was almost nowhere to hide. More and more people were injured by the fireworks, and a good fireworks wish turned into a disaster in the crowd.

Fortunately, there is a river nearby, and although many people have been injured, everyone's lives are not in danger. People rushed in, only to leave with grief and pain.

On the second day, there were rumors in the city that the fireworks on the Shangyuan Festival were ominous signs, and that something big would happen this year. There are also rumors that in fact, the imperial concubine in the palace is a demonic illusion, and she is coming to the cholera country.

The "great achievements" of the imperial concubine in their mouths seemed to disappear all at once, and because of this fireworks accident, the imperial concubine changed from a bodhisattva to a demon.

Mingyue packed her luggage and prepared to continue to explore her life experience.

Last night, I was smart enough. She was a little scared when she thought about it. Since she said that she would be lucky to see the first fireworks, then she shouldn't have seen it, how can this be good. She has always felt that it must be a special excitement to have the opportunity to explore the rivers and lakes. This hasn't even left the imperial city, and it stimulates her to death.

Imperial grace, of course Mingyue has heard a lot. Listening to the kind of love in the clouds and fog in the background of the family and country, I seem to empathize with it, envying this woman for being able to have a king or even a country.

But ignorance is ignorance, how can you blame the accident entirely on a woman? Shouldn't we be blamed for negligence in the production or regulation of fireworks? In this way, she was very sympathetic to the woman in the palace again.

Deep Palace.

Last night, there was a sudden accident at the fireworks scene, and the imperial court had already sent manpower and material resources to appease the injured people, but this ominous price had to be borne by the imperial concubine alone.

"Niangniang, don't you feel wronged?" looked at the imperial concubine who was lying sideways in the warm pavilion, and the maid wanted to speak and stopped, but finally asked her confusion. The production of fireworks is strictly supervised and arranged every year, how can there be mistakes? If it weren't for His Majesty's secret permission, who would have had such courage?

"I'm not doing this well, wronged something." The imperial concubine didn't have much of a sad expression.

"Niangniang, since Your Majesty ascended the throne, in the past few years, Niangniang, you have not really been happy for a day, why Your Majesty has always been to you, always ......" was not cold, she didn't say the rest of the words, and she couldn't bear to say it.

His Majesty the Emperor of the world loves the imperial concubine deeply, but although there are no other concubines in the harem, the people in the palace know that His Majesty is not good to Niangniang, and His Majesty has been in power for several years, but he has not canonized the queen, and the only Niangniang who stays by his side is just a concubine. Everyone understands in their hearts that the matter of His Majesty and Niangniang is a taboo and cannot be said. Who is the annual fireworks and prosperity for His Majesty?

"Qingfeng, are you fighting for me again?" The imperial concubine looked at the girl beside her helplessly.

The night breeze blows, with a coolness. In early spring, when it was warm and cold, I still needed to stay in the warm pavilion for a while.

The imperial concubine pulled the blanket on her body and gently put her arm under her head. She exudes a languid atmosphere, and although her hair is slightly messy, it does not affect her master's calmness.

In the past few years, she has never left the backyard of the deep palace, and the world of the imperial concubine seems to be only so little. Although the palace is majestic, it is indeed too small compared to the outside world, and it is breathless, but she still has to find some fun for herself.

She played with the hairpin in her hand, and her eyes were bright.

"Qingfeng is bold, why is Your Majesty so lukewarm to Niangniang?" Qingfeng really can't bear it, how can it end up like he's in a hurry, Niangniang can not look like a wronged person who is not favored at all.

"He's been very nice to me." The imperial concubine understated, as if she was telling someone else's story.

"Okay, it's not too early, you can go back to sleep."

"Mother." Qingfeng wanted to say something, but he didn't have time to ask.

The voice of the frontyard attendant came in through the evening breeze.

"Your Majesty is here?" Qingfeng suddenly panicked, His Majesty had never come to their Splendid Palace at night.

"Niangniang, this ......" Qingfeng was afraid of panicking, in case His Majesty also came because of the fireworks, and he was guilty, what should I do?

"You go down first." The imperial concubine did not change her posture because of the visitor, and still lay on her side, her hands propped under her head. The long hair had fallen out, and a few strands of hair were blown by the wind from the window.

It should be that he ordered the inner servants of the Splendid Palace to leave, and the warm pavilion of Nuoda looked a little bleak at this time.

"What are you doing here at such a late hour?"

"Yesterday's ......" the visitor had just spoken, but was interrupted.

"You don't have to say much about yesterday's events, I don't care."

"Splendid, there have been disputes in the rivers and lakes recently, Wulin is afraid that there will be changes, and there are constantly people in the imperial court, the fireworks are just a wake-up call, not a warning to the troublemakers, and it can be regarded as letting the people pay attention and be more vigilant."

"Of course I understand, you always do things for a reason, you don't need to explain it to me." The imperial concubine lay down as she spoke.

"It's late at night, you can go back quickly."

"Jinxiu, don't worry, even if the fireworks are wrecked, Lone will definitely protect you." The emperor dressed in black was calm and dignified, under the dim candle flame, vague, as if he was very far away, and he couldn't see his face clearly, nor his heart clearly.

"The way you protect people is really unique." Splendid turned over and stopped looking at him.

The palace was silent, and you could hear the wind outside the window. She heard the man say again, "It's still cold, wear more" and faded away.

She knew very well who the fireworks were going to show that day, but she didn't expect that after several years, the knot in the emperor's heart would grow deeper and deeper.

The night was silent, and Jinxiu slept peacefully. She is actually not as rumored by the outside world, she is just an ordinary person, and she is a warm person, but she just doesn't want to be enthusiastic anymore, and the chaos a few years ago made her unable to be enthusiastic again.

The flower bones outside the window peeked out their heads, cautiously, as if afraid of being discovered, and wanted to protect themselves well, waiting for a while to bloom.
