Donggong: If Li Chengyin remembered first

The matter of Qingyun Palace is like a beautiful and unexpected episode.In the busyness of the New Year, it is almost too late to make people miss and recall too much.We were released from the Qingyun Palace, she was sent back to the East Palace, and I continued to enter the Zhai Palace to prepare for offering sacrifices to heaven.

The Yuan Chen Grand Ceremony was as I expected, Concubine Gao did not take the position she expected.Since the empress was deposed, the Gao family took a long time to move, but in the end they made wedding clothes for the East Palace.The situation in the court is becoming more and more tense, and people's panic is entangled with the noise of the festival at the end of the year.And those who have always been sober, like a beast hiding in the dark night, become more excited after everyone is intoxicated.

After the new year, until the Shangyuan Festival, there are banquets in the palace every day, either for worship or for giving banquets.Wearing a full body is as if it grows on the body.Xiaofeng is probably very tired, and often falls asleep after returning to the palace, so I don't want to disturb her.On the contrary, Zhao Sese waited for me to come back every day, and had to send some soup before going back to rest.It's like the front of the temple, after dealing with it for several days, I am also tired, so I want to go shopping in the street on the Lantern Festival.

When I went to Xiaofeng's yard, she was still freshening up, sitting in front of the bronze mirror with her eyes closed, letting Yong Niang paint her with paint, powder, eyebrows, and gold.I looked at it for a long time before I said to Yong Niang: "You don't need heavy makeup today, light makeup is fine."

She opened her eyes and looked at me, wondering: "Shouldn't you go to the Zhuque Tower with His Majesty today?"

"Yes."

"Then why don't you go?"

"do you want to go?"

With a depressed expression, she said listlessly: "Sitting on the Chengtianmen and blowing the cold wind for half a night, you must freeze to death. Don't go."

"I won't go to Chengtian Gate today, I will take you out of the palace to watch the lanterns, okay?"

She immediately cheered up, "Really?"

"Really. Is there somewhere you really want to go?"

She thought for a while before saying: "Why don't we go to Sanyin Mountain to have a look?"

I suddenly remembered an interesting incident, raised my eyebrows and said, "You go to Sanyin Mountain every year. Last year, you were trampled on several times and lost a pair of shoes. Do you still go?"

She was taken aback, and said in surprise: "How do you know?" The tips of her ears were slightly red, and her face showed some discomfort.

I laughed loudly and said, "I know everything."

"I also know that you just got sick and always hugged Yong Niang and called mother in a daze. I knew that you often slipped out of the palace and only came back late at night. I knew that as soon as you went to the street, you would eat mandarin ducks in Wenyuelou. , and sometimes go to drink flower wine, and have a good relationship with the Yueniang in Mingyufang..."

I want to say it again, she covered her mouth in front of her face, and said with a shocked expression: "You...you..."

I took her hand away and said, "Are you going or not?"

"Go, I'll go."

"Why don't you change your clothes quickly?"

We were wearing homely clothes, like an ordinary couple, we only brought Pei Zhao and A'Du with us.

The streets of Shangjing are always lively and bustling, but nothing compares to the day and night of Shangyuan Festival.

The old customs of Shangyuan were originally the days when men and women had a tryst, and both went and returned.No matter which street or alley, there are all kinds of lanterns and flowers: landscape figures, flowers, insects, fish and birds, birds and beasts, pavilions and pavilions.When the lights are turned on at night, there will be an endless sea of ​​lights in the bright and dark.The streets are full of cars and people, rich and powerful officials, with crowns like clouds, fragrant clothes and shadows on the temples.The fireworks can't be restrained, and the endless fire trees and silver flowers can be seen on the Seven Star Pagoda all over the sky, which is dazzling.The bells in Wufu Temple are ringing, which can be heard from ten miles away.Three because the mountain goes out and goes in and out, and walks in strands and strands.In the past, he always sat with his father at the Chengtian Gate, overlooking the people, and saw the sea of ​​lights shining brightly. Although he heard people's voices shouting for long, he always felt that the high place was extremely cold, and there was loneliness for no reason.Walking among the lights of thousands of houses this day, I can empathize with the cheerful emotions on everyone's faces.

Or... it's just because I have an important matter in my heart, and the arrow is already on the string right now, and the dust will settle after tonight.No matter what the result is, the tranquility before the storm always makes people feel at ease, and can appreciate this beautiful world without distraction.

Three because the lights on the mountain are like daylight, there are really many people, shoulder to shoulder, either one stepped on another's skirt, or that one stepped on this toe.There were also men and women who swam their arms together and whispered sweet words in dimly lit places.We were a group of four, squeezed in the middle, only Xiaofeng, as soon as he entered the crowd, he jumped into the water like a fish, and a dragon flew into the sky, looking left and right, chattering happily.Pei Zhao and A'Du didn't speak, they followed behind like two shadows.

When we walked to the Marriage Shrine, there were many men and women gathered around the gate. When Xiaofeng saw it, her eyes lit up and said, "They must be asking for the red thread!" He hurriedly grabbed my sleeve and asked the white-bearded Taoist priest for it. red line.

"You are already a married woman, why do you still ask for this?"

The Taoist raised his eyes and looked at us, with smiles on the corners of his eyes and brows, twirling his big beard and saying: "My wife is destined to be a husband and wife, please ask for two more red threads to add joy, that's okay, that's okay."

She became happy when she heard that, took the two wires, and tied one on my left hand.

Maybe she still has me in her heart?

Even though she tied the thread, I thought about it, turned my head to look at Pei Zhao who was standing not far away, and said, "You don't want one like Luoxi?"

Pei Zhao was taken aback and squeezed in.But Xiaofeng listened to my words, raised her eyes and gouged me out.She probably thought I was stingy.

But I am stingy.

By the time we descended the mountain, it was already dark.The fireworks from the Seven Star Pagoda gradually thinned out.We were drinking tea at a place on the mountainside called "Rain Lai San", when suddenly there was a sharp and long whistle in the city, and then a blue-green firework exploded.Everyone said who set off the fireworks again, and when they stretched their necks to see, Pei Zhao and I changed our expressions.After dropping a few coins, he rushed down the mountain.It attracted a few whispers from passers-by.

The Habayashi Army was waiting for us at the foot of the mountain.

"Your Highness! General!" The person who came was the guard who guarded the capital tonight. When he saw me, he knelt down on the ground and said with grief on his face, "Your Highness! You should die! Your Majesty had a whim today. Captive, please return to the East Palace quickly, Your Highness, and take charge of the overall situation!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

I ordered someone to send Xiaofeng back.Seeing them go far away, they began to investigate carefully.

Martial law has been imposed in the city, and the Shenwu Army and the Habayashi Army are hunting for assassins in the city.When Pei Zhao and I rushed to the scene of the incident, we only saw a mess in Mingyufang, with several corpses of imperial guards dressed in black lying here and there, bloodstained, I don't know if there is also bloodstained by the emperor.

General Shenwu ordered people to seal the yard, and guarded it tightly inside and out. At this moment, he was checking the sword marks on the corpses.

"Have you found anything?"

He looked up and saw me, knelt down and said, "Your Highness, I deserve death for my crimes! One step too late, the thief has already captured His Majesty. I have no choice but to make my own decision, order the whole city to be under martial law and close the nine gates. You can go to Beijing." It's so big, since the thief dared to take people away, he clearly had a well-planned plan. Finding someone is almost like looking for a needle in a haystack! The minister thought that maybe he could find some clues, which would be better than headless flies, so he sealed up the place. It's just... "

I helped him up and said, "It happened suddenly, and no one can predict it. You did a good job. Do you have any clues?"

His complexion fluctuated, and he struggled for a while before he said: "This...Your Highness knows that His Majesty is here..."

I squinted my eyes and said, "I know about this, it's because of a woman."

"But the one named Yueniang?"

I nodded, "Where is she?"

"I was imprisoned in the backyard. She happened not to be in the room when His Majesty's accident happened, so she escaped unharmed."

"Coincidentally?" I walked in and said coldly, "I'll go and have a look."
