After making a wish, when Chang An and Gu Li opened their eyes again, the sky was already full of lanterns. There were all kinds of lanterns, not just above their heads. Chang An turned his head and looked at the sky behind him.

At this time, countless lanterns rose into the sky, like stars, flashing brilliant light, illuminating the night sky above the entire Chang'an City. Wherever you look, there are lanterns as dense as stars, and the density seems to be no less than the stars in the sky.

People were walking around and playing on the ground, with laughter and chatter rising and falling, while the lanterns in the sky seemed to be watching it all silently. The lanterns in the sky and the lanterns on the ground set off each other, forming a beautiful picture.

At this moment, he felt a warm little hand in his palm. Chang An turned around and saw Gu Li looking at him with a smile.

"What are you looking at, Chang Lang?" Gu Li moved a little closer to him and looked into his eyes. It was like a gentle breeze blowing across the water, with gentle waves of light flickering in them.

"Look at the lanterns. I've never seen them before." Chang An smiled gently.

"Then..." Gu Li then put his other hand around Chang An's arm and said, "Can I watch it with Chang Lang?"

"Okay." Chang An smiled, stretched out his hand and tapped Gu Li's forehead, then asked, "What wish did Gu Niang make just now?"

"My wish..." Gu Li leaned his head on Chang An's shoulder and said, "My wish is that Chang Lang will be safe and sound in the future; drink less; and study less... "

"I have finished talking about my wish. What is Chang Lang's wish?"

Chang An smiled and said, "I don't have any wishes..."

Halfway through his speech, he leaned close to Gu Li's ear and said, "With a wife like Gu Niang, how could I have any other requests?"

After hearing this, Gu Li's face turned slightly red, and her mind was filled with Chang An's words. But she still managed to maintain the last bit of clarity, pulled out a hand, reached around Chang An's waist, and gently pinched him.

Then Ha Jiao said: "Only Chang Lang would say..."

"What are you two whispering about?" Su Meng also pulled little Du Fu to their side.

"Nothing." Chang An saw the little Du Fu being pulled by Su Meng and found that his expression was a bit hopeless. He raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion: "Su Meng, what are you doing..."

"This young master Du has been running around all the time, so I caught him in case he gets lost and you guys have to explain." Su Meng explained.

Chang An and Gu Li both laughed at this time. Gu Li even squatted down and said to the little Du Fu who looked like he had lost all hope in life: "Young Master Du, why do you have to be so sad? This girl is the most popular girl in Xinluan Restaurant and even in the whole Pingkangfang."

"Young Master Du was held by my sister today. Looking at the entire Chang'an City, I wonder how many young masters want to hold my sister's hand but can't, let alone be held by her."

"That's right, Mr. Du, you've got a great advantage." Chang An also teased along with Gu Li.

At this time, little Du Fu put his hand, which was held by Gu Li, in front of them and said uncomfortably: "Why not let Chang Langjun and Gu Madam hold it? Madam Su Meng is holding me so tightly."

His second sentence was almost shouted out, causing all the passers-by, including Chang An and the other two, to laugh. Chang An and Gu Li looked at each other with a smile, and then Gu Li let go of Chang An's hand, and then Chang An walked forward, pinched little Du Fu's waist with both hands, and let him sit on his shoulders.

"How about this, Mr. Du?" Chang An held Du Fu's legs firmly and said, "This way, you can see the scenery in the distance without running around."

"That's great!" Du Fu was a little excited.

But Chang An poured cold water on him and said, "Young Master Du, please sit still. If you move, I will throw you back to the ground and let Su Meng hold you."

"No, no, don't let Madam Su Meng drag me away." Du Fu quickly calmed down.

At this time, Gu Li came up with a smile and held Chang An's arm. Su Meng also came over at this time, looking at the backs of the three of them, and suddenly she was a little dazed——

The three of them were together, with Chang An as the center. Little Du Fu sat on his shoulders, pointing at a lantern in the sky and shouting from time to time; Gu Li held his arm, looking at Chang An and Little Du Fu, smiling gently. This scene looked like a family of three, and Su Meng's heart was confused.

She smiled bitterly, simply sorted out her thoughts, then put on an act as if nothing had happened and followed.

"Sister!" Gu Li noticed Su Meng approaching, "What were you thinking about just now?"

Su Meng smiled, trying her best not to let Gu Li notice that something was wrong with her, and then replied, "Nothing, just enjoy the lanterns."

Gu Li nodded without thinking any more. At this time, little Du Fu, who was sitting on Chang An's shoulders, shouted, "Madam Gu! Look over there!"

She quickly looked in the direction Du Fu pointed: At this moment, for some reason, a very large and beautiful lantern suddenly appeared in the sky.

"Madam Gu, it's time to light lanterns now!" Du Fu said.

"That's the lantern of today. It's the biggest and most beautiful lantern in the whole Chang'an city!" Gu Li also pulled Chang An and explained to him.

Chang An also nodded and said, "But it's not as pretty as the one Gu Niang gave me."

"Chang Lang has a sweet mouth. As a punishment, he is not allowed to eat candy tonight." Gu Li was also very happy, but still said with a pout.

After watching the lanterns, Chang An took Gu Li and Du Fu to say goodbye to Su Meng and then left Pingkangfang. After walking around again, Gu Li yawned, and Chang An asked:

"are you sleepy?"

Gu Li nodded and said, "There are some..."

"Then let's go home." Chang An stroked the top of her head and said.

"it is good."

"Let me carry Gu Niang back. It would be bad if she falls asleep while walking." Chang An handed her the lantern and squatted down slightly.

"Chang Lang, you are making fun of me again..." Gu Li pouted, but still leaned forward obediently and let him carry her on his back.

Chang An smiled, then said to Du Fu, "Young Master Du, my wife is a little tired, so I'll take my leave first."

"It's okay. I'm going home too." Du Fu said with a smile, "Take care, Mr. Chang."

Chang An looked at the street and walked towards Anrenfang. Gu Li leaned on his shoulder, and the fragrance of her body gently filled his nose, which was a fragrance that belonged only to her.

"Chang Lang?" Gu Li suddenly called out.

"what happened?"

"Can I light the lamp for Chang Lang?"

"Why do we need to turn on the lights?" Chang An asked.

"Because... because I'm afraid Chang Lang will go the wrong way." Gu Li said with a smile, "If I had shown the light to Chang Lang, Chang Lang wouldn't have gone the wrong way."

"OK......"

Gu Li smiled and raised the lantern in front of Chang An, lighting up his steps...

The next day, when Chang An woke up, Gu Li slept in, which was unusual for her. Chang An did not disturb her, but quietly went to change clothes and wash up.

When he came back, Chang An changed the basin of water. After entering the room, he put his things aside, then sat back on the bed, leaned over slightly, and blew gently on her face:

"Little lazy girl, it's time to get up."

As if he heard Chang An's call in his sleep, Gu Li's eyelashes moved slightly, and then he hummed twice as usual, and then slowly opened his eyes.

"Chang Lang..."

As soon as Gu Li opened his eyes, he saw the man he had seen in his dreams, and moved closer to him.

Chang An smiled, kissed her on the face lovingly, and said, "It's time to get up."

Gu Li yawned, then slowly sat up. Chang An saw that she was rarely procrastinating, so he had to do it himself.

He carried Gu Li to the bedside, then squatted down to put on her shoes and socks. Then he led her to stand up, took the clothes hanging next to the hanger, and put them on her little by little. Finally, Chang An took Gu Li to the basin and washed her face.

At this point, Gu Li was almost awake, and he began to wash himself.

After washing up, Huaiqin took the basin away, and Zhener followed closely and brought the medicine in. While Gu Li was drinking the medicine, Chang An asked:

"Is there any activity on the streets tonight? Tonight is the last day of the ban."

After hearing this, Gu Li nodded quickly, then took the medicine bowl away from his mouth and said, "Yes, the Bali stage has already been built outside, and it will probably be ready tonight. There are all kinds of performances on the Bali stage, which are very interesting."

"Bali Theater?" Chang An was a little confused, but Gu Li was taking medicine at the moment and couldn't answer.

So, Zhen Er, who was standing nearby, helped answer, "Sir, the Bali Opera Stage is an eight-li long stage built on Zhuque Street, where there are all kinds of music, dance or other performances."

Chang An raised his eyebrows - a stage eight miles long? No wonder the Tang Dynasty was said to be rich and powerful during the Kaiyuan period.

"Then let's go watch it together tonight."

"it is good."

……

During the three days of the Lantern Festival, it can be said that Chang An and Gu Li stayed at home during the day and only went out to enjoy the Lantern Festival at night.

After dinner, Chang An and Gu Li came out together. The gate of Anrenfang is close to Zhuque Street, so the stage can be seen as soon as you walk out of the gate.

"Look! Chang Lang! This is the Bali Stage." Gu Li pointed at the stage outside and said excitedly.

Although the sky had just darkened, the dancer Hu Ji was already on the stage practicing.

Chang An took Gu Li by the hand and walked for a distance, then looked towards the south - the entire stage extended from Kaihuafang down, a length of eight miles, and there was no end in sight.

I looked at the stage again. Apart from the dancers and Hu Ji who were doing their final practice, many performances had already begun.

"Chang Lang, let's go watch the performances that have begun, and by the way, look for Madam Gongsun's stage."

Before Chang An could react, he was pulled away by Gu Li.
