And just when everyone was still shocked by the magical scene in front of them, and when they were amazed by the blessing patterns made of lights on the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, the sound of thunder resounding through the night sky suddenly came from the imperial city.
"This is thunder!"
"what happened!"
"Where's Li Hong!"
Li Zhi and Wu Mei stood up together again, their expressions full of nervousness and uneasiness. They knew better than anyone else what Tianlei was.
Although they already knew that Li Hong would dispatch the Shenji Battalion to the imperial city tonight, but other than that, no details were revealed. So at this moment, when they heard the thunder that day for the first time, whether it was Li Zhi It was Wu Mei, the officials, or the courtiers. The shock and uneasiness in their hearts was beyond imagination.
"Father and Queen, look at the night sky." With a sly smile on Li Lingyue's jade-white face, she stretched out her slender jade finger and pointed at the high night sky.
With a bang, the dark night sky suddenly exploded!
Just as Li Lingyue's words faded away, in the dark night sky, gorgeous, colorful fireworks that looked like overflowing lights appeared.
"ah… !"
Li Zhi, Wu Mei, and the royal family members who stood up behind them all looked at the beautiful and brilliant fireworks in the night sky with horrified expressions. But just as they were about to take a closer look, the beautiful sparks were extinguished in an instant, and the night sky appeared again in front of everyone. The original appearance and silence were restored again.
The officials were in shock, and some even thought Li Hong was going to rebel. However, when Li Dan told them to look at the night sky, they looked up blankly. After the colorful fireworks disappeared, the officials were still intoxicated by the shock. Unable to extricate themselves from the scene, they all raised their heads, like royal family members in a castle in the air, still reminiscing about the short-lived beauty.
"hey-hey… ."
"You little thing, did you know in advance?" Wu Mei's reaction was the fastest among the royal family members. Looking at Li Lingyue with a sly smile, she pulled him forward and asked immediately.
"Brother Huang said that I am afraid that you will be frightened, so I will give you an appetizer first. If you feel that you have not seen enough, please dim the lights in the sky pavilion first, so that the viewing will be more intuitive and clear. Clear." Li Lingyue explained without any fear, still smiling playfully.
"You little thing, you scared me to death. You and your royal brother are not at all worried. Let's see how I punish you afterwards." Wu Mei finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, she felt as if her entire back was about to get wet. .
"Turn down the lights." Li Zhi was a little worried at first, but he instantly gave up Li Hong's ridiculous idea of rebelling. He didn't even dare to take his own Zen position, so he had to grab it to feel accomplished.
Hua Ji and Wang Lou looked at Li Zhi, and then saw the queen nodding from the corner of their eyes, so they immediately dimmed the lights in the sky pavilion to the lowest level with other palace people.
"Actually, I don't know what the emperor is up to, but he said that my father will enter the age of knowing his destiny in the first day of the new year. I should give you and my father a surprise, and at the same time, let Fanyu Foreign Countries take a look at me. The power of the Tang Dynasty!
"Look." Wu Mei straightened Li Lingyue's body. Little Li Ye in her hand had been handed over to Pei Wanying and Bai Chun in the shock just now.
The thunder from the sky sounded again, but this time it was two thunders that sounded together, and as the silent night sky was exploded again, the beautiful and colorful fireworks bloomed brighter than before.
While the fireworks illuminated the night sky, they also illuminated the shocked expressions on everyone's faces inside the glass windows of the sky pavilion.
As two thunders fell, three thunders sounded at the same time, four thunders sounded together, five thunders sounded together, and the gorgeous and picturesque fireworks extinguished, extinguished, tirelessly in the night sky of the imperial city. With their short light, they show the world the most magnificent and glorious moments in their short lives.
The entire city of Chang'an fell into silence when the first sky thunder sounded, but when the second sky thunder sounded, and the third sky thunder sounded, the short-lived brilliant fireworks in the sky shone with beauty and beauty that people had never seen before. When the coquettish figures appeared one after another in people's sight, the whole city of Chang'an boiled instantly.
Cheers, howls, and shouts mingled together. The people crowded in the streets and alleys seemed to have lost their minds. They were mesmerized by the short-lived dream-like fireworks over the imperial city. Some literati, Then he began to think about how to write a world-class poem to praise the Tang Dynasty tonight, to praise the imperial city today, and to express his pride and patriotism.
If people are moved too many times, they will soon fall into the opposite direction. Extreme happiness will bring extreme loss.
The people of the Tang Dynasty were still in a sea of celebrations, and among the crowd, the slightly lonely foreigners in Fanyu looked at the beautiful sparks that were bright and short-lived, but shocking enough to the world, and bursts of thunder vaguely sounded in their ears. , in addition to loneliness and loneliness, there is more envy and sadness in his eyes.
Transience is not eternity, but the brevity of this moment is absolutely right. It is forever and ever, like the time that history has passed, it is forever engraved in people's minds and inspires people's centripetal force.
Similarly, even the well-informed officials and royal family members, after the night sky has been silent for a long time, are still recalling the eternal fireworks that can captivate the city, but are short-lived.
Regardless of whether they were royal relatives or courtiers, at this moment, their hearts were filled with overwhelming pride and surging pride. The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, the power of the Tang Dynasty, and the greatness of the Tang Dynasty. On this night, after the short fireworks, But it has become people’s eternal memory and everlasting self-confidence.
Chang'an City was still brightly lit. The Shenji Battalion, Central Army, and City Military Guards who had suddenly entered Chang'an City began to exit from different city gates in an orderly manner, like a long silent dragon, with firm and confident steps. He left Chang'an City, leaving all the joy and celebration to the night sky and people.
Yang Yu has never been so lonely as tonight. From the beginning to the end, she doesn't know where she went wrong. From the beginning to the end, she doesn't understand why the originally quasi-princess became a lonely harem. How come the children of officials and officials missed the opportunity to dominate the East Palace!
She couldn't understand, she kept thinking, looking at the brilliant fireworks in the distance, she felt that those brilliant fireworks were just like the mood she felt when she just learned that she was the queen's appointed princess-to-be. Everything in the world was full of excitement. Beautiful, but short-lived.
"I should be the castle in the air, not Pei Wanying, why is it her and not me!" The expensive perfume was shattered to pieces, just like his father's official position, which could never be regained.
As the fireworks dissipated, the entire imperial city returned to its glorious and solemn appearance. On the brightly lit palace road, Chen Qinghan was nervous and looking forward to it. His father was called into the palace today to watch the wonders of the world created by His Royal Highness. A scene, and I was lucky enough to appreciate this scene from beginning to end in the East Palace.
Looking at the tall figure in front of her, she knew that next was the moment to decide her fate, whether to enter the East Palace or not.
In the entire palace, the busiest thing now is the Food Bureau. After the brilliant fireworks, the courtiers and relatives of the emperor will start today's banquet, and the singing and dancing headed by Yan Lingbin and others will also This is the most anticipated thing tonight, besides the fireworks.
Li Hong held Chen Qinghan's sweaty little hands and kept comforting her along the way that she shouldn't be nervous and just treat it like meeting the mother-in-law of an ordinary person. As the saying goes, an ugly daughter-in-law still has to meet her parents-in-law.
"You are ugly! But... am I really ugly?" Chen Qinghan glared at Li Hong angrily, and then asked uncertainly.
"You're not ugly. Wherever you are, you are the most beautiful." Li Hongyan said sincerely.
Chen Qinghan naturally knew that Li Hong was telling lies, but even if it was a lie, she felt very comfortable listening to it. She calmed down and straightened her clothes again, and then continued to follow Li Hong uneasily. .
Counting this time, this is the first time she met the queen after she and Li Hong met the queen in the West Market a few days ago. According to Li Hong, you shouldn't be nervous.
But Li Hong didn't know that the places and purposes of the two meetings were different. To the woman, it was just like meeting them for the first time.
Pei Wanying looked at the agitated staircase and saw her husband's tall figure, holding the lovable Chen Qinghan, greeting other royal family members.
At this moment, Wu Mei's voice came to her ears: "Let him come here. When everyone is celebrating, where did he go? Why did he bring Chen Qinghan with him when he came back?"
"Yes, Queen Mother." Pei Wanying saluted hurriedly, and when she walked to Li Lingyue, she looked at Guan Wan'er and her follower. While they were chatting selflessly, she lightly tapped Li Lingyue's hair, then leaned over and whispered: "Queen Mother If you are angry, be careful and your brother will sell you."
"Ah? Is the emperor's brother back?" Li Lingyue was not afraid of being betrayed by the emperor's brother at all. Anyway, she just got used to it.
"What? Are you okay?" Pei Wanying, who was about to move on, stopped and asked doubtfully.
Li Lingyue rolled her eyes, then pulled Shangguan Wan'er, who had picturesque features, and suddenly asked, "Is Wan'er good-looking?"
Pei Wanying didn't know what Li Lingyue wanted to do, but she still followed Li Lingyue's gaze and looked over.
Shangguan Wan'er and Li Lingyue were standing together. They were both wearing festive red shirts and dresses today. However, when worn on the two of them, the monochromatic clothes did not appear to be an eyesore at all. Instead, they made the two of them look beautiful and generous. .
"Of course she looks good. In a few years, I'm afraid she will be just like you, a beauty who will conquer the whole country." Pei Wanying pinched Li Lingyue's little face. After getting to know her sister-in-law, she dared to tease her secretly. Sister-in-law.
"Then let the emperor accept her as his concubine? How about that? How about I talk to the emperor about it?"
"Tell me your size!" Li Hong suddenly appeared behind Li Lingyue at some point, then pulled out a hairpin from Li Lingyue's bun and handed it to Chen Qinghan.
"Hey... disgusting."
