Morning.

Li Huai got up on Shangguan Coco's bed again, and every time he got up, Shangguan Coco would also get up.

Help him get dressed, comb his hair, and put on his crown.

Li Huai persuaded her not to waste her time on these meaningless things, but she still insisted every day.

Play the role of a good princess.

Gentle and virtuous.

This word couldn't be more suitable for her, but in front of everyone except Li Huai, she was still as cold as ice.

With Lou Xiaowan, she is like an ice knife.

This made Li Huai leave a little regret every time he left her yard, which gradually accumulated into an impulse that was about to explode.

He felt it himself.

But nothing can be done.

Had breakfast.

Yan Gaoyang sent a sample of steel rulers, each of which was three feet long, one inch wide, and half a finger thick.

The time limit for him to bet with Guan Keke was only fifteen days, and he didn't dare to delay for a moment, so he immediately sent the steel ruler sample out quickly.

Afterwards.

Li Huai went to the arsenal, and this time it was only a few days, and no one knew what he was doing in it.

Until Chinese New Year's Eve.

Li Huai pulled a carriage and transported a cart of things from the arsenal back to Taishou Mansion, and everyone knew what he was doing.

This car, it's all fireworks!

There is no firearms division in Liangzhou, and fireworks cannot be produced, but there are a few cannons stationed in the defensive city, which have not been used for a long time, and they have all rusted.

Li Huai thought that since there was a cannon, there would definitely be gunpowder, otherwise the cannon would not become an ornament.

When I ran to the arsenal, I saw that there were really several barrels of gunpowder, which were wrapped in oiled paper, which were not damp and could still be used.

Crisply.

All of them are made into fireworks.

When the time comes, it will not be difficult to make your own gunpowder, anyway.

Chinese New Year, how can you do without fireworks.

"Little bowl, you divide these into two sticks per person, and the rest is ours." Li Huai commanded.

"Thank you, Lord Wang!"

Lou Xiaowan immediately asked someone to move the fireworks in, and according to the distribution of people in the Taishou Mansion, everyone has it.

After dividing, there is still half left.

It's sent!

Lou Xiaowan felt great happiness, and was very active all day long, like a bird, busy arranging red lanterns and pasting couplets.

Taishoufu also has some years.

Chinese New Year's Eve.

Li Huai moved a ladder, carried a pot of wine, and climbed to the roof, but Zuo Wenjun did not appear as usual.

Drank half a pot.

Li Huai went down disappointed.

"Xiaowan, do you have something to tell me?" Li Huai asked tactfully.

Lou Xiaowan was stunned and said with a smile: "I wish the prince a happy New Year!" ”

“……”

According to the etiquette system, the lower-level officials in Liangzhou should send congratulatory gifts before the year, and then after the year, Li Huai will also send someone to give them a return gift.

If there is a congratulatory gift, Lou Xiaowan should tell herself as soon as possible, she didn't say it, then it can only be proven.

This group of dogs, I really don't take this king seriously!

Lack of cleanup!

Li Huai forgot about these unpleasantness for a while, glanced at Lou Xiaowan, and then noticed that in order to cater to the festive atmosphere of Chinese New Year's Eve.

She deliberately put on the big red female official uniform of a hundred birds and a phoenix, with her own charming temperament.

It's like a cluster of ...... Flame!

Li Huai originally wanted to use 'flower' to describe it, but the intuitive feeling he gave him was like a raging flame.

Lou Xiaowan kept looking out the window, hoping that it would be dark so that he could set off fireworks, and he didn't notice Li Huai for the first time.

Wait for her to come to her senses.

Li Huai was already standing at the railing, still wearing white clothes that had not changed for thousands of years, enjoying the scenery alone.

He was out of tune with his surroundings, everyone was celebrating Chinese New Year's Eve, and everyone was smiling.

Lou Xiaowan felt that he had a faint sorrow, so that the environment around him was bleak.

She has never seen her parents, nor has relatives, she doesn't know what family affection is like, but I heard that once family affection is there, it is difficult to give up.

Where she used to live, there were some people like her, and not all of them had no relatives.

Those people were always sobbing silently in the dead of night.

But.

Li Huai's loneliness at the moment, Lou Xiaowan felt that it was far better than those of her colleagues.

It's as if between heaven and earth, he is the only one left.

"Lord Wang."

Lou Xiaowan walked to Li Huai's side.

Li Huai tilted his head, "What's wrong?" ”

"Didn't I ever tell the prince where I came from?" Lou Xiaowan subconsciously grabbed the corner of the clothes.

She seemed nervous inside.

Li Huai nodded, and then said with a smile: "If you don't want to say it, you can never say it for the rest of your life, I don't have to know." ”

Lou Xiaowan raised her head, perhaps out of Li Huai's unchanging trust in her, as well as his occasional gentleness.

"I grew up in the Workshop Division!"

In layman's terms, it is the green building.

Although the Teaching Workshop Division is different from all Qinglou, it still takes a lot of courage for a woman to say this.

Only then did Li Huai realize that something was wrong with her, and turned sideways to face her, "Why did you suddenly talk about this?" ”

Lou Xiaowan shook his head, "I don't know, I just think that I am very unsure to hide this secret from the prince." ”

This kind of thinking is not unique today, the first time she felt Li Huai's trust, she wanted to say it.

But she was afraid that after she said it, Li Huai would dislike her.

After all, she is a Qinglou woman.

"For as long as I can remember, I have been teaching the workshop division, they don't teach me piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, as long as I know how to read and write, and then, every day is dancing, and practicing...... Enchantment. ”

"What Taoist bachelor, that's what they pasted on me, and I also think that Taoist bachelors are better than Qinglou women, so I have been bearing this false name."

"Before leaving the capital, they originally wanted me to pick up guests, and then ......"

When Lou Xiaowan said it, he began to talk endlessly, eager to dig out his heart and show it to Li Huaihao.

Speaking of leaving the Faculty Division.

Li Huai stretched out a finger and put it on her two red lips, "Don't say it again, you don't have to say this, I really don't care." ”

Lou Xiaowan raised his head, there was already a fog in his eyes, and because of his inferiority, he buried his head.

Everything she went through was for ...... In order to...... To those people......

Call!

Li Huai stretched out his hand and put her head on his chest, "I'm sorry, you told me so much about you, but I can't say it, never can say it." ”

Lou Xiaowan also began to sobb silently at this moment, she felt that her colleague was cut by a knife, but there was only a desolate feeling in her heart.

She felt boundless loneliness, because she also had emotions that made her worry, this feeling was avoidable, but intoxicating!

Fortunately.

Her concern is visible from her head!

Then.

Shangguan Keke came to the gate of the courtyard, and when he saw this scene, he turned around and left without hesitation.

Li Huai and Lou Xiaowan didn't find it.

In the evening.

Putting on the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, of course, wine is indispensable, and sent someone to ask Shangguan Coco if he wanted to eat together.

She refused.

This Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, only Li Huai and Lou Xiaowan were left, and the rest of the people's hearts couldn't stay, so Li Huai gave them a holiday.

Let them all play on their own.

It was completely dark.

"Lord Wang, can I go and set off fireworks?" Lou Xiaowan asked expectantly, and she became lively again.

Li Huai nodded, "Go ahead." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang!"

Lou Xiaowan took a stick of incense and ran out quickly, like a fluttering butterfly.

Odd.

Just now it was a cluster of fire, and now it's a butterfly.

Chirp!

Lou Xiaowan lit the first fireworks, and the rest of the people couldn't wait, but they didn't dare to put them in front of King Liang.

Pause.

Countless fireworks rose into the sky, turning into dazzling fireworks, and the entire sky turned into color.

Lou Xiaowan began to put one by one, and then I felt that it was not enjoyable, so I put three or five together, and finally, I simply lit all the fireworks together.

Li Huai's courtyard suddenly became the most lively place in the entire Jiuyuan, with thousands of flowers blooming together!

Lou Xiaowan ran out of the smoke, came to Li Huai's face, and said apologetically: "Lord Wang, I forgot to leave it for you." ”

She also remembered after she finished playing, and the prince didn't play a single one, but once the fireworks were lit, there was no possibility of regret.

Can only rush into the sky.

"It was meant to be for you to play." Li Huai smiled, picked up the handkerchief on the table, and asked her to come over some.

If you wipe it casually, it's all black.

This is because the current concentration of gunpowder is too low and the combustion is not sufficient, so it emits excessive smoke.

This is a gain, and when the time comes, he will set up a firearms department, and he must solve this problem a little.

"Lord Wang......" Lou Xiaowan shouted delicately.

Li Huaimeng came back to his senses, and he didn't know when, he pulled Lou Xiaowan to a very close distance.

The handkerchief was still wiping her face, and her face was already very white.

He didn't know what he was doing.

In a word!

Every time I leave Shangguan Coco's courtyard, the regrets I leave behind and the accumulated impulses seem to have reached a critical value!
