Views:

Rong Chang'an said: "We don't drink or eat, just walk in the abandoned garden?" Suddenly caught a glimpse of something in Yan Li's hand, he pointed to it and asked, "What are you holding in your hand?" what?"

"Oh, you mean this?" Yan Li held up the object, "This is the Kongming Lantern, we will release the Kongming Lantern later."

In the palace, fires are prone to occur, and it is expressly forbidden to put Kongming lanterns. In the busy city just now, Rong Changan saw quite a few Kongming lanterns, some of them looked like fireflies. There are also lonely ones flying up one by one, like shooting stars, illuminating the dark night sky, it is so beautiful.

"Is there anything special about setting up Kongming lanterns?" Rong Changan said.

Yan Li said: "You must make a wish when you release the Kongming Lantern. The Kongming Lantern carries your wish and flies to the deep night sky. As long as you are devout enough, your wish will definitely be fulfilled in the future."

Rong Changan became happy, her eyes were shining brightly, as if two very big stars shone in her eyes.

"Really? Then what are we waiting for, let's light up the Kongming lanterns!"

Yan Li found a relatively open place, unfolded the folded Kongming Lantern, took out the kindling, and lit the Kongming Lantern.

"Hurry up and make a wish!" Yan Li said to Rong Chang'an, and let go of the Kongming Lantern in his hand. The Kongming Lantern lit up with an orange light and slowly rose.

"Don't you want to make a wish?" Rong Changan asked.

"Promise! Let's make a wish together."

Yan Li and Rong Changan stood under a peach tree, among the petals falling in the wind, made a wish to the rising sky lantern.

The Kongming lantern went up into the air, and the east wind was warm, blowing from the southeast, and the Kongming lantern drifted to the southwest, getting smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared into the night, invisible.

"The Kongming Lantern is gone!" Rong Changan looked at the direction where the Kongming Lantern disappeared, his eyes full of anticipation, "Yan Li, what wish did you make?"

Rong Changan naturally hopes that Yan Li's wish includes her.

But Yan Li's answer made Rong Chang'an a little disappointed: "My wish is to let the people of Dajing Kingdom live a prosperous life."

In fact, Rong Changan knew Yan Li's wish without thinking about it.

"Aren't you afraid it won't come true when you say your wish?"

Yan Li smiled and said, "As long as we are devout enough, the result will be the same if we say our wish or not. By the way, what wish did you make?"

Rong Chang'an's wish is to avenge his past life, and in the process of revenge, he hopes to have a good result with Yan Li.

"I believe that once a wish is uttered, it won't come true, so I won't say it." Rong Changan twitched the corners of his mouth, showing a mysterious smile.

Yan Li smiled and said, "I hope our wishes will come true!"

Rong Changan suddenly felt that there was something in his luan sleeves, and with a light shake, peach and plum petals fell from the sleeves rustlingly.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect the falling flowers to float into my sleeve!" Rong Changan said with a smile, raised his sleeve and smelled it, and there was a fresh scent.

Yan Li leaned over and looked at her obsessively, "Not only do you have petals on your sleeves, but you also have flower petals on your head! The whole one-flower mother-in-law!"

Hearing the word "Grandma Hua", Rong Changan laughed out loud.

"Grandma Hua?" Rong Changan said, "Are you referring to Granny Hua with all the white hair?"

Yan Li smiled and said, "That's not it! I'm referring to the flower-adorned Granny Hua."

Rong Chang'an never thought about what he would look like when he was old. Could it be possible that a head of blue hair will also become a head full of gorgeous hair? There was a trace of melancholy in her eyes.

"Who doesn't have time to grow old! After a few years, my flowery mother-in-law with a head full of flowers will also turn into a white-haired flowery mother-in-law. I don't know if anyone will take pity on me at that time. Maybe it's like As the poem says, 'The color of the flowers will change this year, but who will be there when the flowers bloom next year'!"

Yan Li grabbed her hand suddenly: "As long as I am here, Granny Hua at this time will never become a Granny Hua with white hair!"

At this time, someone in the abandoned garden shouted: "Look over there, look over there!"

"It's so beautiful, I think the emperor, the empress and other concubines are setting off fireworks in the palace!"

Looking to the north, sure enough, above the imperial palace, brilliant fireworks bloomed one after another.

Rong Chang'an couldn't help laughing and said: "The emperor is not actually admiring the fireworks with the empress, but each has its own way of playing!"

Yan Li's expression was always cold, and he couldn't help laughing after hearing Rong Chang'an's words.

Those ladies didn't know that Li Hai was holding Zi Yan in the back mountain now, and it was only the two of them enjoying the fireworks, which had nothing to do with Rong Chang'an.

This time the fireworks went off for half an hour.

Yan Li couldn't help but frown, "The emperor set off so many fireworks, I don't know how much people will spend! If you use this money to help the poor, I don't know how much you can do."

Chuntao left the abandoned garden and walked across the Hongqiao. While watching the street vendors, she admired the river view under the Hongqiao. Groups of Kongming lanterns flew by in the sky, and there were fireworks over the palace. Such a prosperous age is really rare. See.

"Actually, the Dajing Kingdom under the emperor's rule is pretty good. I don't know why people like Zhao Hongru always want to raise troops to rebel?"

Chuntao grumbled, with a bright smile on her face.

She was walking in the flower market, but bumped into someone.

"Who doesn't have eyes! Don't you see me walking forward?" The man barked viciously, as if he were a bitch.

Chuntao was knocked down and fell to the ground, and sprained her hand. She hadn't had an attack yet, but the other party had an attack. Chuntao jumped up in anger, put her hands on her hips and cursed:

"You don't have eyes..."

When the two of them took a closer look, they were both taken aback.

It turned out that the one who bumped into Chuntao was none other than the girl next to Concubine Ziyan, named Xing'er, with a triangular face, slender eyes slightly hanging upwards, and thin lips thinner than two pieces of paper. In the palace, she is the most mean, ruthless, cruel and vicious. What kind of owner will raise what kind of dog!

Seeing that it was Chun Tao, Xing'er curled her thin and cool lips, flicked her cold sleeves, and said in a strange way: "I thought some kind of dog was in charge, it turned out to be your Chun Tao!" She suddenly pulled down a vicious face, "I asked You Chuntao, what are you doing here if you don’t follow your master? Are you lazy? Be careful, I’ll go to Fengming Palace to sue you!”

Chuntao said: "I didn't come out secretly! I was with..."

But you can't tell Xing'er about the news that Rong Changan also came out, otherwise, Xing'er will have to tell Ziyan, and Ziyan will tell the emperor, it will be a disaster.

Chuntao glanced at Xing'er, pouted and sneered, "Hmph, why don't you follow your master? Aren't you a very loyal dog? The palace belongs to your family? You are allowed to wander around, but I, Chuntao, are not allowed to come out? Let's sue the emperor and see who is right!"

Xing'er snorted, "Do you think the emperor will stand by your side? Hehehe, I really don't know what to do! Let me tell you, the emperor is now playing with our concubine Ziyan at the back mountain! Your master has been left out in the cold Now, our noble concubine is the favorite concubine. If you want to sue the emperor, you think you will win! What a joke!"

Chun Taoxin pondered: now the emperor is really with Ziyan, and now the emperor favors Ziyan, if she really sues the emperor, it will be Chuntao who will suffer.

"You're not the roundworm in the emperor's stomach. How do you know who the emperor is thinking of! Maybe he looks good to Concubine Ziyan on the surface, but actually thinks of our queen in his heart! Good dogs don't get in the way, let's go!" open!"
