Qixi Lantern Festival, the lights in Chang'an City are like the sea of people during the day, and the palace maids who have the opportunity to leave the palace are all happy, and they can't wait to show off everywhere after they come back.

"Oh my God, I've never seen such a long dragon lantern, it has been pulled from the corner of the street to the end of the street, it is more than ten zhang, it is as vivid as the real one, I also touched the dragon scales, and the scales will jump......"

"How can it be alive, Your Majesty has never seen a real dragon, just because you also want to touch the dragon scales? Anyway, the bazaar is really lively, crowded with people, and it seems like you don't need money to buy things, but it's really cheap, and I bought a bunch of rouge gouache, and I can't use it up for a few years......"

"Look, just play, don't forget that tonight is Qixi Festival, have you gone to the Huai River to put lanterns and make wishes, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl will bless you to find a good husband as soon as possible......"

"Who has time to make a wish, even if we go, it won't be our turn, there are still several years before we can get out of the palace, and we can't eat all the delicious food on the street......"

The palace maids, you say a word, and the chatter is in full swing, Feng Yan is itchy when she listens to it, and she is afraid of disturbing Ye'er's rest, so she opened the door and drove the group of palace maids away.

"It's so annoying to be chattering all day long, alas, the Qixi Lantern Festival, I guess I won't see it in my life."

"Little sister...... Liu Ye jumped out of bed barefoot, the soft moonlight reflected her white jade-like skin, and her clear eyes were full of expectation, "Otherwise, let's leave the palace too!" ”

The sisters hit it off, but how to get out of the palace when it was late was a big problem, they thought about it, and finally thought of a person, that is, Yuefu Qin Shi Zhaoshi.

Thanks to Li Yannian's blessing, Yuefu has a lot of influence in the palace, and the important officials of Yuefu have waist cards given by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and they can enter and leave the palace at will even in the middle of the night.

At first, Shizhong refused to take them out of the palace, but Liu Ye couldn't help but beg bitterly, and agreed after hesitation.

After months of getting along, Shizhong and Ye'er are also teachers and friends, they are of the same age, and they have a lot of common topics with each other. Speaking of the Qixi Lantern Festival, Liu Ye and Feng Yan kept asking questions along the way, and when they arrived at the bazaar, the sisters were even more like fish in water, looking at the lanterns, tree lamps, and mushroom lanterns, they were dazzled and excited.

Since it was agreed in advance that they could only come out for one hour, Liu Ye and Feng Yan watched the lanterns for a while, and then pestered Shizhong to take them to the Huai River.

"I heard that the people who put lanterns in the Huai River, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl will bless them." Liu Ye said with a reverent face.

Shi Zhong smiled and said: "It turns out that the princess also believes this, but the Cowherd and Weaver Girl can only see each other once a year!" ”

Liu Ye was speechless, the day of harmony was approaching, and she was going to marry a man she didn't know. In the past, she only saw the side of Princess Xie Wu calling for wind and rain, but she never thought about how she spent those cloudy days. Emotionally, it is difficult for Liu Ye to accept this arrangement, and the life of a husband and wife without an emotional foundation is even more terrible than the end of the world. But at this point, she can't turn back.

Seeing her gloomy, Shizhong immediately changed the topic: "I also believe that there are lovers who will eventually become married, princess, do you want to put lanterns and make wishes later!" ”

"You don't have to make a wish, just bless those who put the lanterns!"

Shi Zhong nodded, didn't say much, and silently accompanied Ye'er to the Huai River.

At the same time, Feng Yan saw the familiar figure in the crowd, and took advantage of Ye'er's lack of attention, squeezed into the crowd and grabbed him.

"Brother, you're here too, how do you know we're out of the palace? Are you here to see Ye'er? ”

Feng Gang's gaze was always glued to Ye'er: "I'm outside the palace every night, just to see if she's doing well." ”

Feng Yan was stunned, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed: "Brother, Ye'er and I are about to leave, there are some things that can't be forced, you better put it down as soon as possible." I only have you as an elder brother, and I can feel at ease if you are doing well, not only me, but Ye'er also thinks so. ”

"I know." Feng Gang smiled bitterly, took Feng Yan's hand, and explained, "Sister, you and Ye'er should take care of yourself, my brother has something for you to hand over to her." ”

Feng Yan glanced at the brocade box in her hand and shook her head: "You better hand it over to her with your own hands, but this wish is so good that you can completely break your thoughts." ”

Feng Gang was silent, staring at Liu Ye's slender back, and his heart melted.

The colorful lights on the Huai River are dotted, carrying the expectation of love, floating leisurely to the other side.

On the night of the banquet, the lights were bright, the lights were bright, and the fairy music was fluttering

Li Yannian lowered his head and stroked the piano, sometimes melodious and sometimes tactful piano sound was intoxicating, just when everyone was envious, a wonderful beauty who was difficult to describe with pen and ink came outside the hall, only to see her willow waist graceful lotus steps moved lightly, light dance steps graceful posture, like a fairy walking in the heavenly court.

Liu Ye danced in public for the first time in her life, and Emperor Wu of Han's expectant eyes made her a little nervous, but as soon as she saw Li Yannian and Shi Zhong's encouraging smiles, her whole person suddenly relaxed, and she stretched her soft limbs to the familiar melody.

During the banquet, the princes did not read countless people, but it was rare to have such a beautiful temperament as her. The gestures show the innate nobility, and the smile is amazing.

The music gradually stopped, Ye'er stood in the hall and gasped slightly, and her delicate hibiscus face made it impossible to take her eyes off.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took in everyone's amazement, he smiled with satisfaction, ordered someone to reward Liu Ye, and summoned Li Yannian to the front and personally poured wine for him.

This move of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is not uncommon, and everyone is no longer surprised, but the king of Chu from Pengcheng can't see it. The relationship between these feudal states and the imperial court was not harmonious, and the rumors that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty favored the Li brothers and sisters had long been heard, but now that they saw it with their own eyes, they finally found an opportunity to vent their long-accumulated grievances.

The king of Chu pretended to be crazy and got up, raised the wine cup and stumbled in front of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I heard that this fine-skinned and tender-fleshed Yuefu Lieutenant was the dog prison who was castrated back then?" I wonder if it's true? ”

Without waiting for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to respond, the King of Chu looked up to the sky and laughed: "Haha, it's just a eunuch who feeds dogs, and he can actually be a captain, is it true that my Han doesn't even have a decent person now?" It's sad, it's sad, I won't mention it, the king of a dignified country disregards the system, and actually pours wine for this kind of thing that can't be put on the table in public, if this is spread out, where is the prestige of the royal family, and where is the face of the Han Dynasty? ”

Emperor Wu of Han's face turned blue and pale, looking at the sincere and frightened appearance of that group of vassal kings, I am afraid that the king of Chu will already be happy in his heart if he makes such a fuss. Although this dinner party is a family banquet, he is not allowed to mess around.

Li Yannian saw that the atmosphere was not right, and he was angry and not easy to make a noise, if he said the wrong thing, he would end up with a pampered and arrogant infamy, and the emperor would become the target of public criticism.

Liu Ye blinked his smart beautiful eyes, walked towards the proud King of Chu, and bowed and said, "Lord Chu, as the king of the Han Dynasty, I am afraid that you will lose the majesty of the royal family even more if you say this!" ”

The king of Chu had the upper hand slightly, and he was complacent, but Emperor Wu of Han didn't speak, and a woman dared to count him. For him, this is simply a great shame, not to mention where this woman came from, even the concubine and princess don't want to embarrass him.

The king of Chu clenched the wine cup, held back the anger in his heart, and hummed disdainfully: "Ignorant woman, how can you speak above the palace, this king is in a good mood tonight, I don't have the same knowledge as you, quickly retreat!" ”

Liu Ye smiled, didn't take his contempt in his eyes at all, and said loudly: "Han Gaozu unified China, and never judged people by blood, and the monarchs of the Han Dynasty were all recruited to live in it. Li Duwei's musical attainments are well known to the world, where does His Majesty's compassion come from because of his virtuous use? Your Majesty is close to the people and loves the people, and is deeply loved by the people, Your Majesty can pour wine for the vassal kings, why can't you treat the courtiers? Since the prince is a descendant of the Han family, he should carefully follow the teachings of the ancestors, and he is not in his position, not the work of the master! ”

King Chu's wine strength instantly sobered up a lot, he looked at the woman in front of him, obviously so weak, but her words and deeds had the demeanor of everyone, she must not be an idle person.

Emperor Wu of Han couldn't hold back a smile, seeing that the king of Chu was going to be angry with Ye'er, and hurriedly introduced: "This is the princess who is married to Wusun, and I arranged tonight's banquet to see her off." King Chu, speaking of which, you are also considered to be your own family, so you don't have to worry about a child! ”

"Oh?" King Chu suddenly realized, and couldn't help but look at Ye'er a few more times, it turned out that she was Liu Wu's granddaughter, no wonder there was a domineering spirit in her bones.
