Chapter 279: The Palace in a Fairy Tale
In the half month of the New Year, Ren Baqian can feel the taste of the festival everywhere in Lancheng.
There are bustling crowds everywhere, and you can always see many ancient people who bring mountain goods into Lancheng to exchange for various supplies, and even in the Shihu District and near Yiwulu, there are many people sitting on the side of the road, putting a few things brought out in the mountains in front of them, including herbs, animal cubs, and even the occasional curiosity.
Therefore, the vicinity is crowded with people every day, like a market.
Everyone had a smile on their face.
After all, for most people, the New Year is the most important time of the year.
After Ren Baqian heard about the bazaar, he also made two special trips to see some strange things in this world.
He even bought some small things that seemed interesting to him, such as a cyan stone, on which he could see small dots emitting white light, like stars.
For example, a plant that blooms every other day has a bud at the top, which opens on the first day, closes on the second day, and opens again on the third day.
There is also an animal horn that is said to be able to travel for hundreds of miles when it is blown, but it cannot be heard by humans, only by certain animals.
And the opposite of the bustle in Lancheng is the desertion in the palace.
A palace gate separates the inside and the outside into two worlds.
The empress doesn't seem to care much about the New Year, how to do it in the palace, and everyone else is doing their own things, no decoration, no preparation or anything.
After all, there has always been only the empress in the palace, no one can speak, and no one can share, so such a festival has no other meaning for the empress except for the word New Year.
But this year there are more people, so it's a little different.
"Your Majesty, why don't you decorate the palace as well?" Ren Baqian saw that the empress was sitting there watching a TV series, so he proposed on the side, he passed back and forth in Beihong District, and saw that the mansions of many senior officials of the court and central government were cleaning and decorating.
Very peculiar arrangement, a lot of bones, drilled into the eye, and then tied a cloth to hang on the wall, as soon as the wind blows, there is a "woo-woo——!" whimper sound and the sound of bones knocking on the wall.
The entire Beihong District is full of wind.
Ren Baqian shivered every time he passed by in the past two days, and felt that the air around him seemed to be a little colder.
This is the joy of the festival, making it like a ghost house, this is just to scare people, right? I don't know who is so genius who actually thought of such a creative New Year's decoration.
But the faces of the people in those mansions were full of joy, which made him look so strange.
The empress looked at him with her fingers lightly on her chin, and then said without a doubt: "You can do whatever you want." ”
Ren Baqian said hello to the empress, and then returned to Earth, and when he came back, he brought two large bags of things, which were full of LED colored light strips and bells.
Now he has more than 600 pounds of strength, and he can carry a lot more things at a time, several times more than before, and he doesn't have to be so restrained every time he brings something.
First of all, let people make a few wooden shelves in the palace and stand on both sides of the heart cultivation hall.
He called out to the green kite and the red luan to be busy in the heart cultivation hall, connected the colored lights in the air, and then hung the bells.
Although the work is not complicated, it needs to run on both sides, just look at two of the three people standing on the shelf, Ren Baqian carrying a roll of light strip running back and forth between the two shelves, handing one end of the light strip to one person to wrap around the shelf, and then pulling to the other side.
The empress was playing the TV series, but she didn't have much to watch it, and from time to time she turned her head to look at the three people who were busy at the bottom of the steps, a little dazed.
It seems like it's been a long time since it's been lively.
Or rather, it's never been lively.
The Heart Cultivation Hall has always been so deserted, even when he was young, when his father was here.
Even she thought it should be like this.
Therefore, Ren Baqian's busyness makes her feel novel at the same time, but also interesting and warm.
The empress herself didn't notice it, and she didn't know when she had a smile on her face.
It took half a day to connect the light strips, and Ren Baqian plugged in the power supply, and the colors in the entire Heart Cultivation Hall began to change, starting from the door, both sides and above were covered with light strips, exuding colorful light, and the light seemed to be flowing.
This kind of light strip is only 18 and a half catties for 100 meters, and Ren Baqian brought a total of 2,000 meters, so that the entire heart cultivation hall becomes colorful.
Qing Kite and Red Luan didn't know what the two of them were for, but they almost screamed when they saw this scene, at this time, the Heart Cultivation Hall was still a little deserted, and there were intoxicating colorful colors everywhere.
Even the empress had a look of surprise on her face, she didn't expect that she would be so beautiful after finishing it, which was dizzying.
Not only that, Ren Baqian also asked people to cut down two trees, put the trees not far from the empress's bed, and wrapped the light strip around the tree.
"Your Majesty, this is your palace. Ren Baqian wiped the sweat on his head, he had been running back and forth on both sides just now, and he was carrying such a heavy light strip, which made him very tired.
However, looking at the colorful colors in the palace at this time, like the palace in a fairy tale, I am very satisfied.
The empress had surprise on her face, and her heart was full of softness, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
It took a long time before he whispered: "It's beautiful, I like it very much!"
Ren Baqian heard the empress's soft voice, and his heart was also very soft.
It's probably the most romantic thing he's ever done in his life so far.
"But I'm afraid the battery pack is not enough, so I brought back another set of batteries, plus the previous four sets of batteries to last for five hours. Ren Baqian was slightly regretful.
Such a beautiful scenery, but it can't be lit up all the time, which makes him feel a little pity.
I didn't bring too many battery packs before, so I kept the empress watching TV series with a laptop, a desk lamp, and charging the walkie-talkie, so he prepared a total of four sets of batteries, and this time I brought another group of only five groups.
It seems that next time I will have to bring back a battery with a larger storage capacity.
Then Ren Baqian and Qing Kite Hongluan hung countless silver bells on the light strip, and the breeze blew, and the entire Heart Cultivation Hall was filled with the pleasant sound of bells.
This sound is much better than the bone whistle like the ghost crying wolf howl in the sky above those mansions in Beihong District.
Then, the empress listened to the silver bells for a whole night, and almost didn't fall asleep.
It's so noisy.
I don't feel it during the day, but it shows it in the dead of night at night.
But the empress still didn't ask her to take off the silver bell, and the next day it was as if nothing had happened.
However, the two of them were deeply affected, the second day was the blue kite's eyes with dark circles, and the third day was the red luan's eyes with dark circles.
