Chapter 11 Fireworks

Rong Zhao led the way in front, and the guest followed the master, and everyone raised their feet to follow him with a puzzled face.

Prince Rong ate a little bit, and was very unhappy: "The meal is all eaten, and it's getting late, what is Rong Shizi going to do?" ”

Prince Yu nodded.

Eating too much, they just want to sit and rest for a while, and Rong Zhao has to take them around, which makes people a little unhappy.

Rong Ping was also at a loss, but when he heard this, he looked at Prince Rong lightly, and his voice was calm: "If Prince Rong wants to go back to the house, he can leave by himself." ”

He's put up with these old things for a long time.

Prince Rong was choked and speechless.

Prime Minister Zhang Cheng held back a smile.

As the old rival who knew King Anqing best, he knew that King Anqing had always had a bad temper.

How many martial artists in the army have a good temper?

King Anqing has shrunk in the mansion for some reason over the years, but how can a person's temper be so easy to change?

Thinking of this, Prime Minister Zhang Cheng took a deep look at Rong Zhao's back, and his eyes were suspicious.

If it weren't for Rong Shizi's different identity, why did King Anqing change his style of behavior over the years?

But although this Rong Shizi is like a good woman and has a demeanor, he only has the sassiness of a man.

Think about the little guy Yuanbao who "revealed" the news to him, but he is alive but no longer sends news, and Rong Shizi is both a reward and a hospitality, and the movement is very ...... It's really hard to believe that Yung Shizi is a girl.

If it is really a woman dressing up as a man and bullying the king, it is too late to hide, how can there be such a move?

Prime Minister Zhang once again suppressed this suspicion.

They ate in the central area, and now they were walking in the direction of the door, and out of the big room came a verandah, which was lit with bright lanterns, and illuminated the verandah as bright as day.

Walking through the verandah, as soon as you step into the garden, the dark garden is lit up with lanterns.

From in front of them, the lanterns lit up one by one from near and far, slowly spreading out like waves, and in just a moment, the entire area from the garden to the gate was brightly lit.

This picture is extremely shocking!

The person who lit the lamp was a subordinate who was wearing the same clothes before, and at this time lit the lamp and quietly retreated.

And all the guests were always shocked by the picture of the lights just coming up from near and far, and no one paid attention to them.

The moment they stepped out of the verandah, I am afraid that this picture scroll will always be engraved in their hearts and will never be forgotten.

Such a scene has never been seen even in the Imperial Palace.

It's not that the garden hasn't been lit up so much, but it's more shocking to spread out rhythmically from near to far.

Rong Zhao raised his hand and led them to continue walking, many of them were still immersed in the shock of the moment the lantern was lit just now, and their steps were a little shaky.

Soon, they walked to the gate.

When I came today, the glass cup I saw was bright, and the eight words "He Anqing Wang is in good health" were hung high, and they were brilliant and dazzling.

Prime Minister Zhang Cheng is sour again!

This time, not only Prime Minister Zhang, but also Prince Rong and other "old fathers" are sour.

Putting aside the impressions of "loser" and "stupid", Rong Zhao offered a reward of 100,000 taels to save King Anqing, and also offered a reward for cooks and craftsmen to make King Anqing happy, and now he is holding such a luxurious banquet to celebrate...... He is indeed a filial son.

A big filial son who "lies on the ice and begs for carp"!

Feeling the envious gazes around him, Rong Ping's body stiffened slightly, and he complained silently in his heart-

Phew, it's clear that he's an unfilial son who wants to kill his father!

Spit and complain, King Anqing stroked his beard on his face and smiled with a look of "relief".

Seeing him laughing like this, Prince Rong, who had just been scolded, was unhappy, pursed his lips, and said mockingly: "Rong Shizi, this seems to be the gate, could it be that you are asking us to leave?" ”

The doorway was so bright that I could clearly see that there was nothing at the gate.

A little farther away, you can't see anything.

- What a surprise, I'm afraid to invite them to leave!

Rong Zhao was not angry, she smiled and turned to face them, facing the light, she had a gentle smile on her face, and a red mole in the center of her eyebrows moved slightly, making her whole face more and more dazzling.

This time, not only the little lady blushed, but also some young gentlemen were slightly stunned.

It's so good-looking......

It's a pity it's a man.

Not far away, in the dark.

Old man Xun took the fire fold and lowered his excited voice: "Everyone is ready, whether it will be successful or not, whether it will live up to the trust of the prince of the world, or take dozens of taels of silver, it depends on the effect tonight." ”

Around him were nine Taoist priests recruited by the palace, and they had been in the palace for two months, and they had a good life.

Very tired and tired, so busy that I barely have time to sleep.

But he ate three meals a day very well, lived in the same good place, received monthly silver on time in the first two months, and everyone had a reward of several taels of silver, and the Taoist priests who promoted research also got a reward of fifty taels of silver!

It's a day they've never thought of!

All of them are motivated.

Therefore, for tonight, for these things, they stayed up day and night for two months, and they were not allowed to make mistakes.

The prince said that if everything goes well tonight, each person will be rewarded with dozens of taels of silver!

The prince has the grace of reinvention for them, success or failure in this move, they will definitely do a good job of the prince's explanation, for this reason, they have been preparing for two months.

Everyone took a deep breath and whispered yes.

Then they dispersed, each taking his own place of responsibility.

Old man Xun looked at the back of the prince in the bright place in front of him, his eyes were slightly red, although what he was doing now was somewhat different from the "Taoism", but the essence was the same, and they had the same goal.

He had a hunch and continued to follow Rong Shizi, and their Taoist priests would definitely have a good way out.

And in order to continue to exist, they will desperately complete Rong Shizi's explanation.

Old man Xun opened the fire fold, and his voice was soft: "Ready, light the fire." ”

Ahead, Rong Zhao faced all the guests, his gaze was fixed on Rong Ping, smiled slightly, faced him, and then raised his hand, bowed to the end, and said loudly-

"The child congratulates his father on his good health, and may his father live a long life, free from illness and pain."

Her first shot in the capital officially started.

At the moment when she bowed to the end and her voice landed, there was a "bang-" behind her, and the fireworks exploded.

At the moment of the cannon, everyone was startled and almost jumped up regardless of their manners.

But soon, they were stunned by the scene in front of them.

Behind Rong Zhao, in all directions of them, one after another firelight rose, and then exploded violently, like a bright and beautiful flower blooming in the night sky, brilliant and colorful, illuminating the whole world.

"Bang-"

"Bang bang—"

One after another, the sound continued, and the fireworks bloomed one by one.

"This ...... What is it? ”

"Isn't it witchcraft?!"

The sounds of doubt and shock were drowned out in the sound of cannons.

Under the bright fireworks, there were shocked faces with wide eyes.

The fireworks they made were not comparable to later generations, the color was not as good as that of later generations, they were not as high as later generations, nor were they blooming in later generations, and they were not as beautiful as later generations.

But so what?

For people in this century, this fireworks show is enough to refresh their entire world view.

Palace.

Recently, because Rong Zhao was born, the attention of many people in Beijing was diverted, and Emperor Yongming, who was pressed by Lichu, was finally able to take a breath.

The confrontation between the three princes was not as sharp as some time ago.

Tonight, countless ministers were invited to a banquet by the prince of Anqing, and it was rare for the emperor to gather the three princes and some concubines together for a meal.

When choosing a place, Emperor Yongming suddenly thought of the prince of Anqing, and said that tonight the Anqing palace was entertaining, knowing that the emperor was busy with government affairs, so he would not disturb the emperor, but if the emperor was interested, he could watch it on the high-rise building in the southwest corner of the palace at the beginning of the year.

Emperor Yongming hesitated for a moment-

Anqing Palace, what can he watch in the palace?

Soon reacted that Rong Zhao wanted to have a treat, he was a little unhappy, lost the fold, and stopped looking at it.

When I chose a place at night, I inexplicably chose the southwest corner.

The palace is very large, the southwest of the palace is a hill, occasionally the emperor will take the princes, courtiers to play, run horses, the side of the hill is farmland, and some imperial villages.

The Zhuangzi of Anqing Wangfu is the imperial village rewarded by the first emperor, and it is also here.

Zhuangzi is relatively close to the southwest corner of the palace, of course, under normal circumstances, even if the emperor stands on a tall building, it is absolutely impossible to see the movement of Zhuangzi.

So he completely forgot about it.

This time should have gone back to rest, but it was rare that the atmosphere was good tonight, and the emperor was happy and chatted for a while.

At the beginning of the day, they were about to leave.

There was a sudden movement in the distance, and they subconsciously looked over, and then were slightly stunned.

The distance is a bit far, and the ancient fireworks made in poor conditions are certainly not real.

Emperor Yongming was old, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he could barely see the light cluster flashing one by one, and if he looked closely, it was clearly a blooming flower.

The concubine's eyes widened, clutching her chest in surprise; "God...... Miracles? ”

The second prince, Pei Zheng, stood up and exclaimed: "What is that?" ”

"What like a flower?"

"Why are the flowers so bright? And still a flash? ”

"Oh my God, what the hell is that?"

"But it's on fire?"

"It doesn't look like it."

……

The royal family immediately began to discuss.

Emperor Yongming was also frightened at first, but immediately thought of Rong Zhao's excerpt......

This is what Rong Zhao asked him to watch?

When he didn't care about it, he stared at the fireworks with his eyes firmly on the fireworks, and ordered Gonggong Wei sideways: "Go and inquire, what's going on?" So what did the prince of Anqing do? ”

"Whoa."

-

The emperor could be surprised, let alone the people who watched the scene.

The fireworks were only set off for a few minutes, and after the curtain ended, no one said anything at the scene for a long time, and everyone was stunned and stared at each other, and they hadn't come back to their senses.

Although Rong Ping knew that Rong Zhao had done something out, he was also shocked at this time.

Rong Zhao always stood in front of them, but at this time, she looked like a monster in the eyes of everyone.

Looking at the red mole on her eyebrows, some old ladies have begun to chant Buddha in their mouths, and their eyes are in awe.

After a long time, Prime Minister Zhang asked in a hoarse voice, "What is this?" ”

In the end, there is some insight that will not push everything onto the gods and Buddhas.

Rong Zhao's smile remained unchanged: "Fireworks, improved firecrackers." ”

Everyone: "......"

- Do you call the flowers in the sky firecrackers??

"How the hell is this done?"

"How can it bloom in the sky?"

"Mo is not a spell?"

"The old body thought he was dazzled by his age, but it seems that everyone has seen it."

……

Discussion erupted.

In the end, the acceptance of young people is higher, Pei Chengjue was the first to sober up, and asked curiously: "Is there any more fireworks?" Can you take a look? ”

Rong Zhao shook his head: "This thing is very dangerous, without the control of the people in my house, it may cause disaster, so in the future, fireworks will only be set off in Fuluzhuang." ”

This is a negation that will send fireworks out.

Fuluzhuang, the name of this Zhuangzi, Rong Zhao only recently changed, and it sounds very auspicious.

"When will it be set off again?" Obviously, there are still people who haven't seen it, and asked eagerly.

When Rong Zhao heard this, he smiled shyly: "This thing costs two silver taels to set off, and Rong Zhao still owes the debt, I'm afraid he won't spend any more money on it." ”

Everyone: "......"

- Oh, do you remember now that you still owe money?

Wait a minute!

That doesn't sound right......

Everyone looked at Rong Zhao sharply.

Sure enough, the other party's smile was still shy, and his voice was gentle-

"Rong Zhao is carrying a huge debt, if this garden is abandoned after today, it is a pity, simply open, and it will be used to host banquets in the future, whether it is a birthday banquet or a wedding banquet, it can be held here. The scenery, food, and fireworks in the park can all be booked in advance. ”

She smiled more and more shyly, her cheeks were slightly red, as if she was a simple little gentleman-

"This garden hosts a banquet, which is not only convenient for everyone, but also allows Rong Zhao to get a little silver taels, and pay off the debt owed to Uncle Wang."
