Dingjiangshan

Ning Huaijin was in a daze, and didn't feel that anything was wrong for a while.

Obviously, Ning Yan had already prepared for it. He had prepared seven or eight calf-high fireworks boxes, and they were all piled up on the empty sapphire quarry at the entrance of Zichen Palace. There were also several larger boxes scattered around. Know what it is for.

It has been snowing outside for a whole day, even if there is a servant at the gate of the hall who keeps sweeping, the snow has already covered the back of the feet.

Ning Yan turned around naturally, gathered Ning Huaijin's cloak tightly, and then dragged him down the steps.He Wenting hurriedly held up umbrellas with Wei Ji, one on the left and one on the right, for fear that the two of them would catch a cold again after playing.

Ning Huaijin let Ning Yan pull in front of the pile of fireworks, and finally regained some sense, and quickly tightened her hand with Ning Yan, pulling Ning Yan back.

"It's... now that it's approaching midnight, and if it's more exposed, how can we set off fireworks." Ning Huaijin said: "If this spreads, people will say that His Majesty is naughty and ignorant, so it's hard for the censors to point fingers you."

He really drank a lot today, and he didn't even turn the corner in persuasion, and actually said the words "not sensible".

Ning Yan pursed his lips and giggled, shook Ning Huaijin's hand, and said softly: "Today is Wanshou, the banquet in the front hall has just finished, how can a subject rest so early. Besides, the outer city is not afraid, Now there is no curfew, maybe the outer city is more lively than our cold place."

Ning Huaijin wanted to say that was not the case, but Ning Yan had already started ordering the servants to move the boxes away and place them one foot apart.

Ning Huaijin followed his fingers and turned her eyes. Before she could clearly see the appearance of the fireworks box, her eyes fell on the palace road leading out from the entrance of the palace, and suddenly remembered something that he had been forgetting just now.

"That's right." Ning Huaijin pulled Ningyan, and asked: "When I just came, I saw Miss Shu go out from the hall... Did His Majesty call her to come to narrate, or intend to discuss the marriage?"

"Uncle Huang is calm enough." Ning Yan smiled and said, "You just opened your mouth to ask me."

If it was the usual Ning Huaijin, there would have been several words of "persuasion" waiting for Ning Yan, but he was a little soft from the wine today, and the hangover soup hadn't had time to take effect in the future, so he only showed a slight doubt expression.

Ning Yan winked at him slyly, and said with a smile: "Uncle Huang will accompany me to set off the fireworks, and I will tell Uncle Huang."

The servants of the Zichen Palace surrounded the two of them, holding a circle of bright paper lanterns in their hands. The snow flakes flew down from the sky, which looked very beautiful in the light and shadow.

Ning Huaijin was dazzled by Ning Yan's bright smile, and subconsciously nodded.

Ning Yan smiled, took the firecracker from the waiter, and held the wind with his hand to blow it, then took Ning Huaijin with the other hand, and brought him to the fireworks box on the farthest edge.

Of course, it was impossible for Ning Yan to click through the dozens of boxes, large and small, one by one. A servant stood consciously next to each box, just waiting for Ning Yan to light the fire and then follow suit.

Inside the wooden box is packed gunpowder in compartments, and long cotton leads hang down from a corner of the wooden box and hang on the ear wall of the wooden box.The lead wire seemed to have been soaked in kerosene, and had a bitter taste.

Ning Yan bent down slightly, holding the torch in his hand and approaching the fuse.

"Your Majesty." Ning Huaijin suddenly said, "Come here, my lord."

The wooden box contained a sufficient amount of gunpowder. Ning Huaijin was afraid that something might happen, so she subconsciously wanted to take over, but Ning Yan easily avoided it.

"It's okay." Ning Yan turned around to comfort him, and said, "The wire is so long, it won't hurt me."

As Ning Yan said, he stretched his arms and brought the fire pocket closer to the fuse.The flame instantly ignited the fuse soaked in kerosene, and the sparks made a hissing friction sound, and quickly climbed up along the cotton thread.

Ning Yan threw the fire bag in his hand into the snow, pulled Ning Huaijin and ran away.

Ning Huaijin was caught off guard and almost staggered by him, only to see the fire boy lying pitifully in the snow, and the flames were instantly melted by the snow.

Ning Yan's hand was held tightly, and he dragged Ning Huaijin all the way back to the eaves in front of the hall before letting him go.The two of them, an emperor and a prince, hadn't done such a disregard for manners for many years. As soon as they stood still, they subconsciously looked at each other and burst out laughing at the same time.

There was a thin layer of sweat on Ning Yan's forehead, it was unknown whether it was from running out or from laughing, it was shining brightly under the candlelight.Most of Ning Huaijin's drinking energy was scattered by Ning Yanlian and she was sobered up a lot.

As soon as Ning Yan saw his gaze coming over, he subconsciously grabbed his hand, and said shamelessly: "Uncle Huang obviously laughed too, so don't teach anyone now."

Prince Gong, who always knew how to accept rituals, became a grasshopper on a rope with the unruly little Majesty for no reason, and was immediately very wronged, but before he had time to speak, the fuse of the box of fireworks that Ning Yan had lit earlier just burned to the bottom. Mars fell into the wooden box, and was shaken by the explosion, and the gorgeous fireworks exploded in the air, making a loud noise.

Ning Huaijin subconsciously turned her head to look at it, only to find that the style of the fireworks was made by some skilled craftsman. When it exploded, it happened to look like a plum blossom.

"It's a bit rough." Ning Yan felt a little regretful: "Gongsi can only make a few petals, and it's impossible to be more detailed."

"It's already very good." Ning Huaijin said subconsciously: "Fireworks have always been in an indeterminate style. After the gunpowder is in the sky, what kind of combustion depends on good luck. How can you specify the style like this."

"Things have to be thought about, and the people in the engineering department know better than us." Ning Yan said: "If the emperor likes it, it is their good fortune."

There are 36 fireworks in a box of gunpowder, all of which are gorgeous when they go up to the sky. The little waiter in charge of the fireworks in the field probably got the order early. Up and down the box, don't let this scene be broken.

Fireworks are a rare and lively thing, and the younger maids of Zichen Palace couldn't help but look out.

Ning Yan and Ning Huaijin stood side by side in the corridor, holding a hand stove in their hands, looking up at the patterns in the sky slightly.

"Didn't Uncle Huang just ask me what I asked Miss Shu to do?" Ning Yan suddenly said, "Uncle Huang guessed half right."

Ning Huaijin was looking at it strangely. Hearing that he suddenly mentioned this matter, she hesitated subconsciously for a moment, but in the end, her concern for "business" prevailed, so she turned her head to look at Ning Yan.

A spark from the fireworks happened to pass through Ning Yan's eyes, turning into a deep ashes.

"I did ask her to come to discuss the marriage, but I didn't want to marry her." Ning Yan watched the fireworks in the sky intently, but only raised the corners of her lips, smiled slightly, and said, "I canceled the marriage with her." According to the marriage contract, she has been appointed as the female officer of the Second Grade Internal Division."

Ning Huaijin was stunned.

"This..." Ning Huaijin said, "This is not in compliance with the rules."

The female officer of the inner department is in charge of the internal affairs of the harem, and the empress has always been in charge.But Ning Huaijin always felt that it was not good for Ning Yan to refuse to marry Shu Qiuyu as queen, but to hand over such important authority to her.

"If Your Majesty doesn't like the girl from the Shu family, you can just find some compensation, there's no need to do that." Ning Huaijin said: "Otherwise, if the new empress enters the palace in the future, it will be embarrassing for both sides, and it will also lose the courtesy to the first wife. "

"There will be no queen." Ning Yan whispered.

He said this very softly, and it coincided with the fireworks going up into the sky. Under the deafening explosion, Ning Huaijin could only see his lips moving, but didn't understand what he said at all.

"What did Your Majesty say?" Ning Huaijin asked suspiciously.

"It's nothing." Ning Yan gathered his mind, turned his head and smiled at him, and said, "It means that the emperor is clearly not married yet, so he is in such a hurry to take care of me."

The fireworks in the sky are always on, and the waiters who guard the fireworks are very accurate. Usually, the last box of fireworks has not fallen, and the next box will follow closely, as if it will continue to be so gorgeous .

Perhaps because the atmosphere is so good now, even Ning Yan couldn't help feeling a little impulsive.He then turned his head to look into Ning Huaijin's eyes, took a deep look at him, then looked away before Ning Huaijin felt something was wrong, and asked casually: "Speaking of which, is the emperor's uncle okay?" Have you thought about getting married?"

Ning Yan regretted after asking this sentence, he squeezed the hand stove in his hand, and cursed himself for not being able to hold his breath.

Apart from his deviant teacher, there are few men in this world who do not desire to start a family.Although he harbored affection for Ning Huaijin, it was only in private and it was not time to show it.I didn't even draw a single stroke of this horoscope, asking such words is purely asking for guilt.

It's just that Ning Huaijin didn't know the twists and turns in his heart, he just thought it was a normal chat, so he honestly said: "I never thought about it."

Ning Yan was taken aback.

With a thought in his mind, he didn't care about the psychological construction he had just done, so he asked uncharacteristically, "Why?"

"Not yet." Ning Huaijin smiled: "So I never thought about it."

——What does it mean before the time comes? Ning Yan was at a loss, but knew that he couldn't ask any more.

He was not usually inquisitive like this, if he continued to pursue the matter regardless, he might make Ning Huaijin suspicious.

Although Ning Yan was sure that with Ning Huaijin's cautious and courteous disposition, he would never guess that such crazy thoughts were hidden in his heart, but it was related to the most secret secret in his heart, and Ning Yan would still get used to it. *Be careful, lest Ning Huaijin see something.

I don't know if it was a coincidence, but as Ning Huaijin finished speaking, the last box of fireworks was also set off.

The last firework was very beautiful, but neither of them noticed it.

It was a peach blossom pattern, and a small flower branch extended from under the petals, but although the pattern was exquisite, it dissipated quickly, and before they could look back, it had already scattered into sparks and flowed down.

The warm light illuminated the sapphire field at the entrance of the Zichen Hall, and the red paper after the explosion of the wooden box was randomly scattered on the snow surface, melting the small piece of snow, and the melted water splashed on the spot, and it didn’t take a moment It was frozen brightly in the snow.

After the fireworks went off, Zichen Palace became quiet again, looking empty and lonely.

Ning Yan lowered his eyes, violently balled up all the good and bad emotions in his heart and suppressed them all, then turned around and looked at Ning Huaijin face to face.

"Thank you, uncle, for accompanying me to celebrate my birthday." Ning Yan said earnestly, "After tonight, I will be sixteen. Mr. Yan once said that I ascended the throne at a young age, and it was difficult for me to take root. It is better to increase the age of the crown ceremony." Mention, mention 16 years old...I agree."

"Congratulations." Ning Huaijin bent his eyes and said, "Your Majesty is about to grow into an adult."

Ning Yan also smiled and said nothing, just continued: "So when the fireworks went up to the sky, I made a wish."

Ning Huaijin knew that the child would not set off any fireworks for no reason, and said clearly after hearing the words: "No wonder... what wish did His Majesty make?"

"There's no rush now." Ning Yan said, "I'll tell Uncle Huang when it's realized."
