Chapter 121: Lantern Festival (1)

During the Lantern Festival, news came from the Ministry of Internal Affairs early that it was said that there was a big celebration in Liangjing City this year. Therefore, as soon as the first month of the new year, the people in the city are looking forward to it, and many families are indispensable to make the lanterns for the occasion, just waiting for the lanterns to be hung out on this day.

Therefore, this year's Lantern Festival, the sky has just been darkened, and the city has become a sea of lights.

Just after the end of the hour, I heard a loud noise from all the open places, and one after another huge fireworks exploded in the air, and the Liangjing City was illuminated as if it were day.

So, on this night, all the people in Liangjing, whether they are poor or rich, whether they celebrate at home or invite friends for a drink. Even the beggars hiding in the most dilapidated temples can clearly see this beautiful fireworks one after another.

These fireworks, a release is two hours, there is no half a minute in between, and when the time comes, with the fireworks in the sky, a pair of figures appear on the tower of the imperial city, and the celebration tonight is pushed to a climax.

It turned out that it was Emperor Jingwen who took the noble concubine Niangniang to the city tower.

The emperor and the imperial concubine appeared in front of the people at the same time, which was something that had never happened in all dynasties, not to mention, the emperor brought to the people was not the queen, but just the concubine.

And this concubine was even rumored to have died a while ago and was burned to death by a fire!

As a result, the people near the imperial city rushed to the direction of the imperial city.

However, the soldiers who had been waiting around the imperial city for a long time naturally did not let these people get too close, and built a human wall early to block the swarming crowd.

The people were naturally afraid of soldiers, and besides, the emperor and the concubine stood high on the imperial city, even if they didn't have to get very close, they could see it.

So the crowd was excited, and I didn't know who took the lead, so I took the lead in kneeling down, shouting long live to Emperor Jingwen Mountain, and shouting to the concubine.

The shouts came and went, wave after wave, and never stopped for a long time.

Emperor Jingwen only stood on the city tower for a while, and then took the concubine Niangniang down.

After a while, a eunuch dressed in bright yellow clothes stood on the tower again, and actually read the holy decree to the people of the city.

The content of the holy decree turned out to be that Empress Jiao's body was weak and not enough to lead the harem, and Emperor Jingwen allowed her to leave the palace to go to the Huangci Nunnery to recuperate, and at the same time promoted the noble concubine Shangguan to the imperial concubine and temporarily took charge of the affairs of the palace.

This holy decree almost completely confirmed the previous folk speculation, it seems that His Majesty really wants to make this concubine the queen, but now the queen has not officially abolished it, so let her be the imperial concubine first.

In fact, at this time when the queen left the palace, the status and power of this imperial concubine were no different from those of the queen. If you insist on saying that there is a difference, I am afraid that you will also be favored by more emperors!

So, after this holy decree was read, a group of people knelt down outside the imperial city again, shouting "Imperial Concubine Chitose Chitose"!

At this time, in a restaurant facing the imperial city, Ah Jiu looked at the brightly lit imperial city in the distance, listening to Xiaoyu's return to her, but her eyes flickered.

Xia Er complained that she left him alone on the first day of the new year, and let him almost be eaten by the enemy, so let her compensate.

When she asked him what he wanted, Xia Er said that he heard that there would be fireworks in the Lantern Festival Liangjing City overnight this year, so he asked his mother to accompany him to watch the fireworks and visit the lanterns.
