The white horse has passed through the gap, and half a lifetime has passed.
The country under the rule of Emperor Pingzhang Longxuan was already a prosperous age.
On this day, Long Xuan, who was alone in Changming Hall, who was approving memorials, received a letter from Huguo Temple.
"August Mid-Autumn Festival, Shangyuan Lantern Festival, old people will come."
Long Xuan asked Fu Dao beside him with surprise: "August Mid-Autumn Festival, how many days are there until August Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Fu Dao said, "Your Majesty, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival in August!"
Long Xuan hurriedly looked outside the palace, it was already dusk, "I want to leave the palace," Long Xuan said in a panic, "I am going to the Shangyuan Lantern Festival!"
"But Your Majesty," Fu Dao said in surprise, "Today is the day when the envoys from various countries are coming to court, and you will hold a state banquet at Lingyun Pavilion!"
"Order the prince to do it," Long Xuan got up, adjusted his clothes, and said to Fu Dao, "Is it alright to dress like this?"
Fu Dao said, "Your Majesty is out of the palace, and the servant will go to inform Yulin Guard to escort him."
"No," Long Xuan said hurriedly: "This can't be done, I, I have to take a small clothes," Long Xuan said, "I want to change clothes, just wear ordinary clothes!"
Fu Dao didn't know what Long Xuan was going to do, so he didn't dare to ask more. Following Long Xuan's wishes, he found a set of casual clothes for Long Xuan and waited for Long Xuan to put it on.
Long Xuan hurried out of the palace. He is not worried about his own safety, there are dragoon guards by his side, and the prince will also send dark guards, no one can hurt him. Long Xuan just hurriedly asked Fudao, "Where is the Shangyuan Lantern Festival?"
Fu Da called a car and took him and Long Xuan to the Shangyuan Lantern Festival. There is no way to do this. He and the emperor are both old people, and there is no way to go such a long way to see the Shangyuan Lantern Festival.
After dusk, the flower market lights up like day.
Long Xuan was walking in the endless stream of people, he didn't want to see any lanterns, he just looked for the old friend.
Fu Dao could hardly keep up with Long Xuan's footsteps, but he could only follow closely with gritted teeth. There were too many people around him. If he was not careful, he could have lost his own Long Live Master.
Long Xuan took the lamp market from the beginning to the end, and then from the end to the end, and the old friend Fuyi told him was nowhere to be seen. "There is only one place in the lamp market here?" Long Xuan anxiously asked Fu Dao.
Fudai gasped and said, "Your Majesty, there are two streets in this light market, it's not too small."
Long Xuan stood blankly in the middle of this street, there was a vast sea of people, where did he go to find that old friend? Missing today, at his age, may not wait for the next year. Long Xuan looked around in panic, all around him were smiling faces, but they were all unfamiliar.
"The palace is setting off fireworks!" a passerby shouted, pointing at Long Xuan's back.
Long Xuan turned back, the sky was bursting with fireworks, colorful, dizzying and surprising. However, Long Xuan was in a desolate state of mind. That person said that if they would never see each other again, maybe he would never see each other again in this life.
"Old man, your jade pendant fell off." A familiar voice sounded beside Long Xuan.
Long Xuan turned around abruptly, and in the dim light, an old friend whom he had not seen for a long time stood facing him with a smile.
Fuzhi almost exclaimed, but quickly covered his mouth, not daring to make a sound.
"Old man, your belongings have fallen," the young man looked at the old man in front of him intently, frowned, and said, "What are you looking at?"
Long Xuan saw the young man frown, and quickly looked at the young man's hand. It was the mandarin duck button he tied around his waist. On the day of his wedding that year, Luo Wei personally threw it into the ink pool of Qingwen Hall. In the middle of the night, after he ordered people to salvage it again, he never left. He didn't expect the rope to break today, which almost made him lose this treasure.
"Old man?" The young man looked at Long Xuan and the jade duck in his hand in a daze, so he had to call Long Xuan again.
"It's mine," Long Xuan stammered, "Thank you."
"No thanks," the young man laughed again, put the jade duck in Long Xuan's hand, and said, "You have to be more careful next time."
"Wei!" Another familiar voice sounded.
The boy quickly turned around, raised his arms, and waved to the blue-clothed boy who was walking towards them, "Lan, I'm here!"
Long Xuan watched another old friend walk in front of him.
"What happened?" The boy named Lan walked up to the two of them, glanced at Long Xuan, and asked the boy named Wei.
"No," Wei said, "this old man's things fell, I picked them up and returned them to him."
Lanchong Long Xuan smiled and said, "It's getting late, we're going back."
"Then," Wei said to Long Xuan, "Old man, we're going back."
Long Xuan looked at these two people, they were all dressed in commoner clothes, but there was no sign of poverty. "I'll give this to you." Long Xuan untied the other half of the mandarin duck buttons that were still attached to his body, and handed one to the two young men in front of him.
"No need," Lan looked at the two jade mandarin ducks, shook his head and said, "Old man, we meet by chance, we cannot accept such a heavy gift from you."
"Old man, let's go, goodbye." Weichong Long Xuan waved his hand.
Long Xuan didn't have a chance to speak again, watching the two teenagers walk into the sea of people side by side, they should also go to watch the fireworks and walk towards the night sky where the fireworks are in full bloom. There should be some sweat on Wei's forehead, Lan reached out to wipe it off for him, but Wei leaned his head on his shoulder and rubbed it back and forth, actually wiping the sweat off with his shirt. Long Xuan looked at the smiles on the faces of the two young men, one was bright with a little cunning, and the other was pampered with a little helplessness. A pair of young people would think so.
Seeing that the old couple went further and further away, and finally disappeared into the crowd, Long Xuan just turned around silently.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"
Long Xuan shook his head, and everyone went to see the fireworks, but the latter half of the street was quite deserted. Long Xuan raised his hand and looked at the mandarin duck button in his hand. Lan was right not to have it. It had Luo Wei's name and his name on it, which should not have been given. Forget it, Long Xuan sighed, and the mandarin duck button was buried with him.
An old man in his old age staggered down the streets of Shangdu. Behind him is the bright starry sky and hilarious crowd adorned with fireworks, and in front of him is the sky of the dark night and the cold long street. The old man has been reincarnated as a human being, and he has to finish this life alone. Nowadays, everyone believes that Emperor Pingzhang and Longxuan are the sages, but in this prosperous world, he only created it for one person, because he wants him to be worry-free in his life, the only thing he can do is to create a peaceful and prosperous world for him, so that he does not need to go through The suffering of war and displacement, even if you come from a poor family, you can live without food and clothing, and you can stay in the countryside.
Rowe.
Long Xuan recited this name in his heart.
Fu Yi asked me, is it worthwhile to exchange this hundred years of loneliness for the joy of your life? Seeing your innocent smile today is naturally worth it.
A generation of emperors with white hair and pale face, walking under the night sky of the full moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, this prosperous country of his has his childhood dreams, he has spent his life's efforts, and also ruined too many of his relatives, and The love of his life.
Luo Wei, you said that you and I will never see each other after this life, and I also know that you will promise Wei Lan for the rest of your life. It's just Luo Wei, when I was in the White Bone Mourning Hall empty guarding the reincarnation of the ninth life and could be reborn as a human being, Long Xuan still hoped that he could meet you in a certain life. At that time, you no longer have hatred in your heart, and I will no longer chase the lonely and widow who dominate the world. At that time, we met in the vast sea of people. I can hold you in my arms and accompany you through that life, and you, can love me again.
