The nine princesses of the East Palace

The Seven Star Pagoda is the tallest pagoda in Shangjing. Li Chengyin said that every year during the Shangyuan Festival, many people set off fireworks on the top of the pagoda.

I also really want to go to the top of the tower, and I also want to light the fireworks myself, and watch them fly into the sky, and clusters of them explode brilliantly...how majestic.

So, after half an hour, we finally climbed to the top of the tower.I was dragged up by Li Chengyin.I was too tired to move at first, but when I saw the brightly lit and bustling Shangjing City under the tower, I was full of energy again.

A deep bell sounded in the distance. It was the Taiping Bell of Wufu Temple. As soon as the bell rang, the fireworks in the entire capital city were suspended.

Li Chengyin listened intently, looked into the distance, stood quietly for a while, and suddenly said: "In a peaceful and prosperous age, there is no war, no contention, and the whole family lives in harmony. There is nothing better in the world than this gone."

"Yeah." I looked at him and nodded, "Everyone has their own home, no matter how poor or poor they are, they don't want it to be destroyed. However, I always thought you wouldn't think about peace, war, etc. The problem with...well, I'm not saying you're bad, it's just..."

"Probably because I lost it before, so I always want to hold on to it." Li Chengyin interrupted my unfinished sentence.

lose?He was referring to his biological mother Concubine Gu Shu?Before I could figure it out, he said again, "Whether I'm a prince or an ordinary person, I'm just a person after all, not a god. A person would long for warmth and have a home..."

Since there were other people at the top of the tower, he spoke in a low voice. Even though I pricked up my ears and listened carefully, I still couldn't catch the last few words he said.I was afraid that he would think about Concubine Gu Shu, so I didn't ask.

As soon as the Taiping bell stopped, the fireworks shot up from the ground and exploded halfway up the tower, illuminating the entire tower.The people on the top of the tower were not to be outdone, they threw fireworks up one after another, and the fireworks above and below echoed each other, which was very lively.

I spent some silver taels to buy fireworks from other people, and played them with Li Chengyin in turn, to see who set it off more beautifully and rose higher... But I almost spent all my money, and there was no winner Come.

The others left one after another, only Li Chengyin and I were left.Obviously, the wind at the top of the tower was very strong, and it was cold on our bodies, but we were very happy and didn't want to go back at all.

It was late at night, the night sky was relatively quiet, and there were far fewer people setting off fireworks, "Li Chengyin, what will happen if we stay up here for one night?" I asked.

Li Chengyin said: "Nine times out of ten, it will freeze into icicles."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a gust of cold wind blowing on my body, which made me shiver a bit, really chilling my heart.

"Go down the tower." Li Chengyin grabbed my hand and covered it, "If you don't go down, you will really freeze."

"Let's go then." I said.Although it is possible to see the whole of Shangjing here, it is too cold. I don't want to catch the wind and cold again, not to mention my body discomfort, but also to drink that nasty medicine.

It was cold on the tower, and it was much better when I got off the tower. However, seeing food everywhere, I was a little hungry again, so I dragged Li Chengyin to eat mutton skewers.

I have eaten several mutton skewers in Shangjing, but the one I sneaked out from Honglu Temple on the day I came to Shangjing was the best, so that is the one I went to right now.

The boss still remembered me, and when he saw me, he asked, "Guest officer, did you bring any money this time?"

"I brought it. Twenty here first... Oh no, thirty strings." I touched the purse in my sleeve and said.Li Chengyin brought a lot of money, even though I kept spending it, I still had some left over, enough for a meal of mutton skewers.However, I seem to have spent too much money tonight, it seems that it is not good for Li Chengyin to pay for it all the time, I should use my salary for the next few months to compensate him later.

"Okay! Guest officer, please take your seat first, it will be ready in half an hour." The owner of the mutton skewers greeted with a smile. When it comes into contact with the hot iron sheet, it will make a "sizzling" sound, and the fragrance will spread in all directions, making people drool when they smell it.

I ate fast and my hands were fast, most of the thirty strings of mutton skewers went into my stomach, Li Chengyin ate slowly, his hands were still slow, probably he didn't even eat ten skewers.

I really hope that the Lantern Festival every year can be like today, eat as much as you want, play as much as you want, enjoy all kinds of beautiful lanterns, and watch the fireworks blooming in the sky...

"What kind of lamp do you want?" Li Chengyin asked me, pointing to a row of lamps next to him.

I looked over and saw those lamps of tigers, lions, jackals, leopards, cats, dogs, rabbits, big roosters, fat ducks, all kinds of birds and flowers... there were all kinds of shapes, which dazzled me. , I like this one, I like that one too, I don’t know how to choose for a while.

I first pointed to the one with the cat's head, then pointed to the duck's, then pointed to dogs, tigers, and various birds and flowers whose names I don't know. So, when we returned to the palace, Li Chengyin and I held hands The lights are all hung on the ceiling, some were bought, and some were won by Li Chengyin guessing lantern riddles. When Yong Niang and Di Mo saw the lights in our hands, they were stunned. , Take it to the bedroom and hang it in the hall.

I was so tired that I fell asleep after hastily washing up, and I didn't wake up until mid-morning.

As usual, Yong Niang brought Di Mo to dress me up and dress me up, but she seemed to be full of thoughts and hesitated to speak several times.

"Yong Niang, if you have anything to say, just say it." I hesitated again and again, and finally asked.

It took Yong Niang a long while before she said solemnly: "There is such a thing, the Crown Princess heard it, don't be sad."

She was worried, I rarely saw her like this, I couldn't help worrying, could something serious happen in the palace again?

"I've got to find out what it is first," I said.

Yong Niang said: "It's Xu Niang's business."

"Xu Niang? I haven't seen her for a while, what's wrong with her?"

Yong Niang wrung her sleeves, frowned and said: "Xu Niang suddenly passed out this morning, the servant girl called the imperial doctor to check her pulse, and the imperial doctor said...she is pre-happy."

My brain slowed down a bit, and it took me a long time to realize that I was pre-happy that I had a doll, and that Xu Niang had a doll...

"Princess Concubine, don't think too much. Your Highness still prefers the Crown Concubine. Even if Xu Niang gets a son, she will definitely not go past the Crown Concubine." Seeing that I was silent, Yong Niang added hastily.

I shook my head: "I just suddenly feel a little uncomfortable..."

"Princess Concubine, Your Highness is the crown prince and the future ruler of the world. Sooner or later there will be three palaces and six courtyards. The Crown Concubine will see it sooner, and she will feel more at ease." Yong Niang spoke quickly and authentically.

She was probably really afraid that I wouldn't be able to think about it, except that she was a little bit too talkative and a little too strict, she had always been nice to me.

In fact, I'm just feeling sorry for Xu Niang, the child in Xu Niang's womb was probably conceived by the villains that day, she is so pitiful, if she gave birth to a child, how should I face him in the future?If she doesn't want this child, she probably won't be able to be ruthless.
