The moon rises and the night sinks, the stars reflect the lights, and only the bright moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival is lonely.

The lantern festival began, and Chang'an was prosperous.

Li Shimin walked in the crowd as a common person, flanked by the eldest grandson Wuji and his personal father-in-law, as well as several guards in civilian clothes.

At this annual national event, it is rare to have a time when the people are more prosperous than the palace.

Li Shimin inspected the people's situation and enjoyed with the people, so that he could come out and breathe through the air.

Today, it is quite rare for less than ten people to leave the palace with them.

Li Shimin also likes this, in the past, when he went out of the palace to inspect, everything he saw and heard along the way was arranged in advance by the ministers, how could he be casual tonight? What I see and hear, I don't know, but it's even more exciting.

"It's still good for the people, it's been a long time since I've heard such a hustle and bustle."

The eldest grandson Wuji bowed down and said with a smile: "Thanks to the emperor's good governance, there is today's prosperous Tang Dynasty." ”

In front of it is the East Market, where the most crowded places are located. The accompanying father-in-law was a little worried: "Master, there are too many people over there, let's change places, right?" ”

"It's hard for me to come out, isn't it just to see the excitement? How can there be a lot of people to avoid? I heard that the merchants in the East Market will hold a special party, which is really a coincidence, so I naturally want to see it. ”

"Chestnuts! Chestnut! ”

On the noisy long street, a crisp voice came from behind Li Shimin.

As soon as Li Shimin turned around, he saw Princess Runan, who was accompanying her out of the palace, looking for something in the crowd on the left and right, and the little eunuch in disguise behind her was so anxious that she was sweating profusely.

Li Shimin frowned and greeted his servant: "Go and see what's going on?" ”

A guard turned around and walked to the side of Princess Runan, and was about to ask, when suddenly an eleven or twelve-year-old girl came out of the crowd and shouted crisply: "Sister, I'm here!" ”

Princess Runan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it, pulled the little girl to her side, and smiled at the escort: "It's nothing, the chestnuts disappeared just now." ”

The protector received the order, returned to Li Shimin's side, and responded: "Master, it was Princess Changle who ran to the side to see the strangeness, and now the person has returned." ”

"Call someone for me."

After Li Shimin passed the order, the two baby princesses who followed came to Li Shimin back and forth.

Li Xiangnan saw that his father's expression was indifferent, and quickly admitted his mistake: "Father, is it a daughter, I didn't take my sister seriously." ”

"This is not a palace, don't go wild, lest you cause trouble."

"Father, what's this!"

The immature little princess beside her didn't care, and said seriously, "Under the governance of my father, the Tang Dynasty is peaceful and peaceful, the people live and work in peace and contentment, every family has food, everyone can dress warmly, I have heard in the palace, the people in Chang'an City do not close their doors at night, they are all good people." Besides, the whole world belongs to the father, what is the difference between being in the palace and outside the palace? ”

"Hahahaha......" Li Shimin laughed out loud and rubbed the little girl's head dotingly, "People are big ghosts, when did you learn to say these beautiful words?" ”

"Father, it's hard for people to come out once, you just let us play by ourselves, with my sister here, Changle won't be lost."

"Your Majesty, this ...... This is unacceptable! The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly interjected.

The little girl stomped her feet angrily: "Uncle! Why don't you let me play, you walk so slowly, there are so many lanterns in front of you! How can people see it? ”

"Good, good!" Li Shimin was coaxed by his daughter to be heartbroken, and he didn't care about it a lot, and then dispatched the most powerful escort around him to follow.

Li Lizhi shouted happily: "Thank you, Father!" ”

As he spoke, he took his sister's hand and ran into the East Market.

Li Xiangnan looked back at his father, and was dragged by his sister to stand unsteadily, so he could only follow, and said vaguely: "My daughter must be optimistic about my sister." ”

Watching his two daughters disappear into the crowd in front of him, Li Shimin's eyes were full of spoiling.

Of the many princesses in the palace, Li Shimin only brought these two out, which shows that these two princesses have an extraordinary status in his heart.

But Li Shimin's feelings towards the two princesses are also slightly different, which only he knows.

Walking slowly all the way, Li Shimin arrived at the gate of Dongshi.

Today, when entering the East Market, everyone has to pay a penny to buy a lantern.

Li Shimin was a little curious about this: "Why is this? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji explained: "Tonight's performance and voting, a lantern represents a vote, the people who have seen the performance will choose the best performance tonight according to their senses, and then send the lanterns, after the lantern festival, the merchant who gets the most lanterns is the winner tonight, and the momentum in Chang'an City will be greater in the future, and the business will naturally be better." ”

Li Shimin was amazed when he heard this, and sighed that there are many talented people among the people, and he has to work harder to tap capable people among the people.

At this time, the two princesses were completely submerged in the flow of people, two eunuchs accompanied them, and one escort opened the way.

"Chestnuts! You go slower. ”

"My name is Li Lizi, not Li Lizi!"

"Stop and talk!"

"Sister, have you seen that money bank?"

"Which bank?"

"It's the kind of money bank you often talk about. I haven't seen what a money bank is! ”

Li Xiangnan furrowed his brows and stared at his sister: "You are in such a hurry just to see the money bank?" ”

"Uh-huh!"

"I'm afraid it's not to see that Bai Song, right?"

"Sister, just let me take a look! After all, they are all ministers under the skirt, and they are the closest and dearest henchmen. ”

"What a subordinate minister! You...... Where did you learn it? ”

"Didn't you tell me yourself, that you were almost bumped into by the imperial grandfather in Xingqing Palace and met with the man under the pavilion, and let him hide under his sister's skirt in a hurry."

"You also know that it's in a hurry, don't talk nonsense!"

"Although it is urgent, it is also a fact that has happened, anyway, my sister can't marry a Turkic prince for the time being, so it's better to recruit him as a concubine! Today's opportunity is rare, I just want to see that guy and check my sister. ”

"Hugh is talking nonsense! Hurry back to your father's side! ”

"Ouch, okay, okay, I won't say it, okay, let's not go see that white or something, let's go to the front to watch the performance, you see, it's about to start."

……

From the beginning of the day, the Higashi performance begins.

The event kicked off with a congratulatory message from the president of the Tang Chamber of Commerce.

There are more than 30 merchants participating in today's performance, and the first one to perform on stage is Lee's Cloth Company.

This Li's cloth shop is well-known in the entire Tang Dynasty, and the Li Jin woven by the cloth village is unique and can be regarded as an ancient national brand.

Big merchants naturally have the dignity of big merchants, and they invited seven beauties from the Western Regions to dance an exotic dance on stage.

The girls in the Western Regions were enthusiastic and unrestrained, their costumes were hot and exposed, and after dancing a song and dance, the people of the Tang Dynasty were all red-faced, but they couldn't help but reverie.

Most of the literati shouted insults on their lips, but shouted in their hearts: "Please increase your efforts."

At the first performance, the scene exploded.

Bai Song scratched his ears and cheeks on the side, and he was very unconvinced.

He sat on the seat of the Mobai Money Village, got up and pointed to the Li family's cloth shop: "No one cares about this?" Engage in color in public! It's shameless! ”

Bai Song's voice was drowned in the cheers of the crowd, and no one paid attention to him at all, and there was no scale limit for Datang's folk activities.

As soon as the performance ended, the voting crowd poured into the stage of Lee's cloth shop like a tide, and the small platform was instantly overwhelmed by countless lanterns.

Bai Song's protest was ineffective, and he sat back in his place angrily, and kept chattering: "I knew that it was this way, I just let a group of girls go up to pole dance, and it's better than a fart!" ”

"Childe, what is pole dancing?" Mingyue on the side asked curiously, she was a little nervous now, and when she saw the popularity of the first performance, she was even more bottomless, so she took the opportunity to speak to relieve her heart.

The second performance was the song and dance "Water Tune Song Head" by Linbei Jade Shop, which was performed by Min Xin'er, the flower of the famous flower building Tianxiang Pavilion in the west of the city.

This performance almost collided with the program prepared by Bai Song, Tianxiang Pavilion is as famous as Yingyue Tower, Min Xin'er's fame is even higher than Mingyue, and the lyrics are also a young man who is quite famous in Chang'an, plus people are singing and dancing, dancing and singing. It is more difficult than Bai Song's side, and a little analysis can show that this performance is not only exactly the same as what Bai Song prepared, but even above them.

At this moment, all the guys in Mobai Money Village became much more nervous.
