Chapter 69: The Lantern Festival
Chu Yuan, who was hiding in the grass, touched his chin, already knowing that Gonggong Li was here to convey His Majesty's will and announce his return to the palace.
But he couldn't go back.
This time out of the palace, the main purpose is to contact Tianwei Mansion, and now he is about to catch up with Jing Yu, and returning to the palace is a waste of all his efforts.
If he wants to take over Jinyiwei, it is not enough to take the credit of a Ji family, he just wants to show His Majesty that he is not a lobbyist who can only hide behind the curtain and talk about it.
Jinyiwei is the throat of the eunuchs, as long as it is firmly pinched in his hands, it is only a matter of time before these chaotic ministers and thieves are cleaned up.
"Why are you hiding here?"
Chu Yuan turned his head to look at Bai Ze, who was puzzled, and suddenly came to an idea, only to see him rubbing his hands and laughing: "Miss Bai Ze, I saw that those two people are not here, they are all here to take me back to the palace." β
"Huh?" Bai Ze was a little displeased, "The old lady hasn't played with you enough, can you come out again when you go back?" β
"That's enough to choke."
Bai Ze's big eyes were rolling, her father asked him to get closer to Chu Yuan, although she didn't know why, but she listened to her father's words the most.
"Is there any way to keep you from going back to the palace?"
When Chu Yuan saw her bite the hook, he immediately whispered something in his ear.
"No, it's going to kill your head."
"Are you cowardly?"
Bai Ze grabbed Chu Yuan's collar and glared: "The old lady is not afraid of heaven and earth, just do it!" β
Chu Yuan gave a thumbs up, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and covered half of her face.
On the winding and flat path, Chen Duoduo was talking and laughing with Li Maoxin, when suddenly a scream startled the two of them to stop and look up.
I saw a petite figure leap out of the bamboo forest next to him, and Chu Yuan followed closely behind.
"Bold thief, dare to go to Shangguan's Mansion to steal, where to escape!"
The petite figure had no scruples, and went straight to Li Maoxin, Chen Duoduo's hurried lotus step raised his palm to defend, and in the next breath, Bai Ze swept past his crotch, snatched the holy decree in Li Maoxin's hand, and ran away in the blink of an eye with his feet on the bamboo forest.
Chen Duoduo stomped his feet to chase, but Chu Yuan hurriedly said: "Be careful is a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, but Jinyiwei has been staring at Shangguan Mansion!" β
"That's a holy decree, how can you do it if you don't chase it, if you really lose it, Gong Li will be blamed by His Majesty."
"Don't worry, I'll tell Your Majesty that I believe Your Majesty understands the righteousness and will never blame Gonggong Li."
Li Maoxin, who is alive and well, squinted his narrow single skin eyes and said: "Our family is just an errand runner, and now that this kind of thing happens, it is helpless, since this is the case, then there is Lord Lao Qincha." β
Chu Yuan returned the salute and smiled: "Gonggong Li relaxes. β
Gonggong Li is a resolute and quick person, he didn't say any more greetings, but touched Chen Duoduo's head, and smiled with different folds at the corners of his eyes: "It's as you wish now, enjoy it outside the palace." β
"Gonggong Li, I will also play for His Majesty, don't worry."
Li Maoxin smiled without saying a word, glanced at Chu Yuan meaningfully, and then left with Chen Duoduo in the company of his sleeves.
Chu Yuan, who was holding the acacia tree on the side of the road, breathed a long sigh of relief and looked up at the cloudless wind and the beautiful blue sky.
Tonight, the lantern festival will be very interesting.
After lunch, all the little maids in Shangguan Mansion were busy, and those who didn't know thought that it was going to be the New Year tomorrow.
Such a rare scene is all thanks to Chen Duoduo, who was standing in the middle of the courtyard with her hands in her sleeves, she and Chu Yuan agreed to go to a place forty miles outside the city, place fireworks at a fixed point, and be supervised by a special person to light them at the same time, and then light the largest and brightest fireworks on the city gate building.
But the lantern festival, she couldn't go, in order to make up for the regret in her heart, she purchased five hundred and sixteen lanterns, planning to make the entire Shangguan Mansion into a small lantern festival.
Shangguan Caidie, the hostess of the mansion, also let her temperament come to her, and poor Chu Yuan was also arrested by her to do coolies.
"Xiao Yuanzi, can you do it, climb a little higher, hey, it's crooked!"
In order to avoid this time bomb from harming his plan, Chu Yuan had to grit his teeth and fiddle with the embroidered lanterns on the bamboo ladder supported by the two little guys.
On the horizon, orange-red clouds floated slowly, and black-topped and white-bellied delphiniums flew in pairs, spreading their wings and gliding low.
"Okay, okay, Xiao Yuanzi, let's go to the Spring and Autumn Pavilion quickly, we'll open it as soon as it gets dark!"
Chu Yuan jumped down from the bamboo ladder, patted the red line on his hand and smiled: "You go first, Caidie and I still have some things to do, so I'll go to you when the time comes." β
"Ah," Chen Duoduo pouted and pinched her waist unhappily, "What do you two want to do when you come so late?" β
Chu Yuan, who didn't want to waste time, walked straight to Shangguan Caidie, who was standing slim on the steps with his hands in his hands, and under Chen Duoduo's shocked gaze, he and Caidie kissed affectionately.
"Ah~ You guys are really enough!"
Chen Duoduo stomped his feet violently: "You can do whatever you like, I don't care about you!" β
Seeing her leading a large group of servants out of the mansion, Chu Yuan immediately grimaced at her back, and Shangguan Caidie reached out to his waist and pinched the meat.
"Can you not be so naΓ―ve~"
Chu Yuan hurriedly hugged her willow waist and smiled: "I just thought about our two-person world, don't you want to?" β
"Hmph, I'm like a sister to Duoduo, how can I mind, you don't compare your careful eyes with me."
"I'll be careful what's wrong, no one wants me to share you with you."
Listening to Chu Yuan's earthy love words, Shangguan Caidie's phoenix eyes flowed, and her peach cheeks were slightly red, and she couldn't help but glance at her: "Are you still going?" β
"Ah~Madam, you and I will take the incense cart and walk around the lanterns for a while~"
Shangguan Caidie hooked Chu Yuan's exaggerated arm: "Husband, lead the way~"
Xiangche BMW bluestone road, carved beams and painted jade buildings.
The road is full of pedestrians coming and going, and the illumination festival is one of the biggest events in Kyoto in the first half of the year.
In order to pray for good weather, happy families, and peace in the world, the people of a thousand years ago created a scene of "the city is full of lights", and this festival is a festival that truly belongs to the people of the world.
At the entrance archway of the light market, Chu Yuan helped Shangguan Caidie to get out of the car.
I saw that the lights in the city were colorful, the gold and blue were shining together, and the splendid was brilliant.
The name of Dengshan is Aoshan, which is a high platform in the shape of an ao-shaped erected at the location of the lamp market, and nearly 1,000 lanterns are hung on it.
It is 16 zhang long, 257 steps wide, there are two pillars in the middle, it is really the moonlight light full of street pavilions, and the incense car treasure chariot passes through the pass.
A few days before the festival, people from many villages around Kyoto arrive early to spend some of the money they have saved for half a year to watch the festival.
There are also many village daughters in the eighteenth spring, painting eyebrows and foreheads with red lips, and meeting the true love of Langjun tonight.
There was once a poet Yun: "I want to go to the east of the city after the scenery, and I also look at the moonlight to the forbidden city." The most victorious year is the Lantern Festival, the high pavilion is full of clouds and flowers, and the song is urged into the night orchestra. β
