Chapter Fifty-Eight: Strange Lanterns and Songs

"Well, it's rare for brothers and sisters to get together today, and everyone can have fun but not too much. Qi Yuan said that his eyes fell on Ke'er beside Luoxue, this girl always gave her an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

But Ke'er didn't dare to meet Qi Yuan's gaze, she seemed to be very afraid of seeing Qi Yuan's gaze, and Qi Yuan didn't embarrass her. just smiled and said, "You come here!" But Ke'er shrank behind Luoxue very timidly, Luoxue smiled and comforted Ke'er: "Go, the emperor will protect you, believe me." ”

Both the Queen Mother and the Queen looked at this girl strangely, but neither of them seemed to care, and the Queen had doubts but could not find an answer. The queen mother didn't worry about it, because a group of palace maids came to the palace not long after, and it was common for these folk women to be afraid when they first arrived in the palace.

"Your Majesty, I asked Fei'er and the Empress to accompany me for a walk. ”

The queen smiled and held the hand of the queen mother, Qi Fei naturally followed, and the group divided into two ways and walked from Jianhe Square to Mochizuki Square.

After the queen mother left, there were only a few princes and young princesses left around the emperor, and Ke'er cautiously walked towards Qiyuan with the encouragement of falling snow. Qi Yuan actually smiled and took her hand and asked, "Is your name Ke'er?" Ke'er nodded, but Qi Yuan obviously felt Ke'er's body trembling, and he couldn't help laughing.

"You girl seems to be very afraid of me, the emperor is also a human being, and he won't eat you. Qi Yuan said with a smile.

"I said that you took this little girl with you, and you can't speak, don't you need to communicate?" The sixth prince looked at Luoxue with some disgust, but Luoxue said: "Isn't it good, if you don't say the wrong thing, you won't offend people, right?"

"Childish!" the sixth prince scolded.

However, Luo Xue thought about it, and the two of them didn't seem to hate Ke'er, and they seemed very kind. This kind of feeling should be innate, so Luo Xue said: "Don't you feel pitiful and kind when you see this girl, anyway, I feel this way." ”

Qi Yuan was stunned for a moment, this sentence seemed to have reached his heart, and he had to admit that he felt pity inexplicably when he looked at this girl.

"It seems strange to have such feelings, so it's time for you to give me an explanation. Qi Yuan looked at Luoxue's face and said, Luoxue said with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "You don't believe what I said, I also said it a few times, what happened in the fog in the palace that day." ”

"That's it, let's enjoy the lanterns today, and don't talk about other things. ”

However, the ministers also felt strange when they saw that the emperor was like this to a little palace maid, but Qi Yuan quickly handed over Ke'er to Luoxue. This is the first time Kerr has touched a man's hand, his palms are very cold, but Kerr's heart is warm.

The emperor was followed by a group of civil and military ministers, in fact, those local officials wanted to enjoy the lanterns in the places under their jurisdiction, and they entered the palace for honor. Although the lights in this palace are beautiful, they lack the folk atmosphere, how could Qi Yuan not know this?

After the fireworks incident the day before yesterday, the guards in the palace became more and more strict, and the forbidden army took turns patrolling in case of accidents. No one was allowed to bring weapons into Jianhe Square, and the dragon guards were also dispatched, lurking among the lantern-admiring crowds to watch the festival's every move.

"Your Majesty, this lamp is very interesting, I don't know who made it?" At this time, Luoxue saw a lantern, and many people were painted on the lamp. If you look closely, it looks like a scene of life in the palace, and there are so many characters that it takes a lot of time to make such a lantern, right?

Qi Yuan naturally saw the special lantern, he ordered someone to pick out the lantern, and the characters on the lamp really attracted him.

"It's a strange lamp, it seems to tell a story, let me take a closer look. Qi Yuan muttered to himself, this is a picture of a midwife, and the place in the painting seems to be very familiar.

Luoxue also saw this unusual place, and even the sixth prince leaned his face over, and he seemed to see the unusual place in the painting.

Luoxue's face changed suddenly, and the place in the picture seemed to be the Qiongyuan where he lived now. The faces of the six princes and the emperor Qi Fei also changed, and Qi Yuan's hand seemed to tremble.

The content of this lantern does take place in Qiongyuan, and the lantern depicts a picture of giving birth, and she is lying on the bed surrounded by palace people and midwives. Qi Yuan felt that this lantern must be something that someone deliberately wanted to express, so he frowned and continued to observe.

It is indeed a picture of giving birth to a child, and it is a concubine who gave birth to a child, and the concubine seems to have fainted. Around the bed, there are palace people holding two children in their hands, so it is right to say that the person who gave birth to children at that time should have given birth to two children.

Luo Xue seemed to think of something, her palms trembled, if this Concubine Hua gave birth to two children, then where did her children go? Luo Xue couldn't help but raise her head and glance at Qi Yuan, and then her eyes fell on Ke'er's body, but they were only swept away.

Because she really didn't dare to think about what connection Concubine Hua had with Ke'er, but the old mother did say something that day, and Qi Yuan had something to do with Concubine Hua. If this is the case, I am afraid that there will be chaos in this court again, and Falling Snow does not want to see such a situation immediately.

"After the festival, all the people who make the lanterns are controlled, and we can find out what else is there, which is really interesting. Qi Yuan said coldly, and Luo Xue said: "King, this lantern is originally a folk or court story, and many of them belong to wild history, so you can't take it too seriously. ”

Luo Xue was originally here to comfort Qi Yuan, but Qi Yuan listened and glanced at Luo Xue with a strange look, which made Luo Xue feel aggrieved. She had only discovered the lamp, and if she had to guess it, she would have to guess that the old mother had done it.

"This king is just very curious, what happened in Qiongyuan, I have never asked about those past events. Qi Yuan frowned, and when he looked at this lamp, his heart became uneasy.

"King, let's continue to enjoy the lanterns, don't disturb the interest of these lanterns. Luo Xue said softly, today is a good day, but it is really bad to sweep away the interest for a strange lantern.

"Yes, Brother Huang, the Lantern Festival is a festival celebrated by the whole country, don't be discouraged by a lantern. There are enough things to do, it's better to put your mind at ease and enjoy the beauty of the moment. The sixth prince, Qi Yun, was also comforted, Qi Yuan nodded, and he held the lantern in his hand.

However, because of this lantern, the mood of the three of them has also changed, and their attention is still on the lantern, just looking for more unusual lanterns. Suddenly the sound of musical instruments sounded in the court, how could the court ritual music not be sung on this important festival, how could there be no dancers?

The sound of the guzheng and the chimes was particularly pleasant, and Qi Yuan's mood was much better when he was attracted by this burst of court music. Qi Yuan didn't want to mess up the interest of these palace people, most of these people living in the palace were lonely, how could he not know?

Luoxue not only makes tea and dances, but also has a deep knowledge of the guqin, but her love of music is still not as good as making tea. In the past, when drinking tea in Yunshang, there would inevitably be people plucking the strings on the side, and the piano lived a fairy-like life with the fragrance of tea.

Bursts of singing came, and the voice of the singing woman was ethereal, but with a hint of poignant.

"Who is this singing woman, her voice is very good, but this song has a touch of poignant. Isn't this festival supposed to be celebrated?" she muttered to herself, she really didn't understand what the song was called, and she lacked a little bit in terms of rhythm.

"Farewell song!" said the sixth prince.

"Yes, the prince sings every night, and he should know more about the rhythm. Luoxue taunted Qi Yun again, and he was not annoyed and said: "This is an unpopular song, the singer who sings is called Lin Wan, and she can be regarded as a stunning woman." ”

"If you like it, the prince will marry, and don't live up to the good spring. "Falling slopes.

"Although Lin Wan is a court singer, the royal marriage is child's play, and she will return to the folk sooner or later. Qi Yuan said, what he meant was that the status of the singer was not worthy of the royal family, even if she Lin Wan was extremely talented, she was just a lowly singer.

Luoxue naturally understands that the singer is a lowly person in many countries, but in that small country, Biyue is a high-status artist.
