Chang'an Lantern Festival, this is an annual large-scale event, usually held in the first three days of the emperor's birthday banquet, these days in the lanterns hung high, the streets and alleys are basically crowded, all this is to celebrate the birthday of the Tang Emperor, the same is also a carnival of the people, all the shops will be reduced, and even free of charge, people outside the business will also return to this bustling city to do business.

Chang'an is already the most populous city in normal times, and when it comes to the Lantern Festival, it may quickly double in the past few days, it will be much more lively, and the crime rate will also rise.

That night, the heart of the continent of Chang'an was "lit up", that night, the ten-mile long street was brilliantly lit, all kinds of lanterns were hung on the street, the market was like day, and the market was full of bustling people.

In the general's mansion in the north of the town, many servants were also taken off on this day to go to the market to have a good time, but Lin Ying's house was surrounded by more than a dozen servants.

The woman's jade hand was on her cheek, she stared at the noisy street market outside, her heart was itchy, but looked at the gatekeepers outside, "Hey!"

She lay weakly in front of the window, wanting to go out!

Suddenly, her body moved, tied up her long loose hair, and knocked her head, "Don't care, let's talk about it when we run away!"

A white shadow leaped out of the window and was caught by the guards guarding outside.

"Miss, what are you doing here?" a guard exclaimed as he watched Lin Ying, who was dressed in white, jump out of the window.

"Hehe, lie down for me!" Lin Ying took the scabbard and slapped him in the face without mercy, and the man fell down as soon as he touched it.

"I'll come back when Miss Ben goes out to play!"

"Miss ran away!" Lin Ying's movement made the guards guarding the door have to open the door to check, and suddenly found her outside the window.

"Not good!" Lin Ying just wanted to laugh, but now he could only hold back, and he jumped out of the yard with a look.

Tonight, many people in the Prime Minister's Mansion also went out, and Li Ruofu, the prime minister of Tsing Yi, took Nian Xingchen and others to hang out on Qinglong Street.

In fact, even as a prime minister, many people only hear about him, but do not know his appearance, so it is very convenient to go to the street.

Everyone traveled in civilian clothes, and they didn't have any weapons with them.

"Young master, this year's lamp seems to be bigger than the year before last!" Xiao Man said while wearing a Tang people's civilian clothes, staring at the lantern on his head.

"Did you come last year?" Nian Xingchen asked.

"No, I watched it from the rooftop last year!" Xiao Man grinned.

Li Ruofu was followed by Hanazaki Ruo, who was dressed in red, "Girl, how is this Chang'an scene?"

"It is said that Chang'an is prosperous, and it is difficult to describe it in a lifetime, but it is true. Hanazaki's eyes were also full of the lanterns hanging in the sky.

Li Ruofu, who was walking forward with his hands, suddenly changed his eyes, "Xiao Nian, you take them to have a look, I'll go first!"

After speaking, Li Ruofu waved his sleeves and disappeared into the flow of people.

"Ahem, where did Li Xiang go?" said Hanazaki Ruo, covering her chest and coughing lightly.

"Who knows, young grandma, don't worry about him, his affairs are not in our hands, just follow the young master!" Xiao Manhan said with a smile.

Hanazaki Ruo looked at Nian Xingchen weakly and asked, "What is the young grandmother?"

Nian Xingchen also laughed along, "Young grandma is, eh, that ......"

Hanazaki Ruo's eyes kept staring at him, but it made it difficult for him to speak.

Xiao Man covered his mouth and smiled secretly, and then held Hanazaki Ruo's hand, "Young grandma is the one who accompanies the young master for a lifetime!

"I ......" Hanazaki Ruo's slender hand pointed to himself and then looked at the boy, the two looked at each other at the moment, and the words of that night made the two people closer, but this is the expression of the two but so helpless.

"Xiaoman, go buy a few rock sugar gourds, Sister Hanasaki and I are waiting for you on the other side of the Chang'an River. Nian Xingchen touched Xiaoman's head and said softly.

"Okay!" Xiao Man took the silver two, his eyes lit up, and he nodded hurriedly, "Wait for me!"

The little girl ran happily, she loved to be lively.

"Are you relieved to let her go like this?" Hanasaki asked, a hint of worry on her pale face.

"Xiaoman grew up in Chang'an, she is very familiar with some places, and I also grew up in Chang'an, she is gone, and I don't have trouble finding it. Nian Xingchen looked at the little girl who was far away and said.

"Nian Jun, no, Nian Xingchen, I can see that Xiao Man cares about you very much. Hanazaki Ruo said softly.

Nian Xingchen stretched, "Yes, I also care about her! Let's go, take you to the Chang'an River to have a look?"

"Chang'an River?"

"The moat that flows into the city, there should be a lot of people putting river lanterns now, it's very lively. Nian Xingchen somehow pulled up Hanazaki Ruo's cold and slender little hand, and when he reacted, he had already taken her a few steps.

And Hanazaki, who was holding his hand, was like a rag doll, well-behaved, and he didn't resist at all when he pulled it, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing!" he didn't dare to look back when he walked in front, the blazing feeling on his face has always been rare, "Go, take you there!"

In a teahouse, in the corner.

Li Ruofu and a man in white sat opposite each other and sipped tea, the man in white looked dignified, holding a folding fan in his hand, like a delicate scholar.

"The bamboo leaves in Shu are indeed a must, that faintly bitter, into my mouth but slow to disperse the tea!" Li Ruofu held the teacup, looking leisurely.

"Heh, among the Shu land, this can be regarded as a famous tea!" the man in white chuckled.

"I understand and can understand His Highness's intentions. “

"Oh!" the man in white spread out his fan, and there was nothing left on it, "Xiangye agreed?"

Li Ruofu sniffed the fragrance of tea in the cup, "If I am asked to choose the prince among the kings, it will be you! Your Highness! But I am not Your Majesty after all!"

"Uncle Huang is no longer the high-spirited Ming Emperor of the past, if it was before, I would not have fought for it, he would definitely pass it on to me, but now it may be!" wrinkles appeared on the forehead of the man in white.

"I just ask Li Xiang to protect me for a while! Just let me sit on the throne in peace! Shu is already in my hands, once the emperor goes west, I can lead troops into Chang'an!"

"Well, but what does that have to do with me. Li Ruofu stared at the cup, but actually kept paying attention to the person opposite.

"You can sit in the position of prime minister, and you have said that I am the most suitable among the kings, and I will definitely give you two carts of gold after the birthday banquet!" said the man in white.

"Hahaha, Your Highness is so courageous, I think Your Majesty sat in this position like this back then, don't rush your gold, if the Tang Dynasty can always prosper, it will be a good move, I will follow this step!" Li Ruofu drank it all, and the bitterness in his mouth overflowed.

To be a man is to constantly buy and sell transactions and earn profits.

"Li Xiang, you agreed!" the man in white looked happy.

Li Ruofu nodded, but said with a solemn face: "Actually, what you really care about shouldn't be those kings, most of them are just mediocre people, what you really have to worry about is the north!"

"North?"

"An Dingguo, Li Guangzhou, Guo Fengyi!"

The man in white suddenly sank his face, "They are all generals on the side of the unified army!"

"And it's the monopoly of power! These people are the most dangerous!" Li Ruofu slowly got up and moved to leave.

"Li Xiang, what about Feng Ziqing?"

Li Ruofu waved his sleeves, "He can't get out of Chang'an! Jiangnan is already scattered sand!"
