Qingchuan History

Chapter 640 Prosperous Fireworks

Ji Qi went for a small stroll in this capital city.

Enough of the colorful lanterns of the Shangyuan Festival, the fireworks of the Tianchang Festival, and the bustling music and music, but the reflection of the full moon on the other side when sitting on the roof.

He was born and raised in this prosperous place.

So I don't see the prosperity, but the yellow sand on the border, the extremely cold region, and Buzhou Mountain, which is farther west than the west, fascinate people.

But tonight's fireworks are different from previous ones.

Tonight, the incomplete part of the moon that is not yet round has become the only truth and eternity in the brilliance of the prosperous age.

He drove the chasing wind through the interlaced traffic of pedestrians, and the fireworks fell, scattered and not sticking to his body.

He felt that the summer wind was blowing lightly, and the excitement around him became a curtain.And at the end of the curtain where he can't see for the time being, there is a corner where stands the pure white Zhaoye Jade Lion. The girl's face on the horseback is as white as the fur and as bright as the moonlight.

Gu Chunfeng.He said the name in his mind.Sure enough, no one married, the eldest started to ride a horse and draw a bow at a young age, and tonight actually sneaked into the patrol and was on duty like a man.

The more he thought about it, the more amusing he became, and the fireworks exploded in his heart. The colorful lights merged with those in the sky, and all turned into the corners of his mouth raised high.

Gu Chunfeng held the reins and looked at the sky at the entrance of the alley. He always felt that something unknown was approaching sharply. He finally heard the horse's hooves kicking. After a glance, he only saw the corners of Ji Qi's mouth and two rows of white teeth smiling away.

She looked up at the sky again.Tonight's fireworks are different from the previous ones, and she seems to understand them for the first time in 22 years.Passers-by walked by together or shoved, and walked again and again. After a while, she realized that this was half a poem, and the second half was——

Say goodbye to Junsheng.

It seems so.

"Master Little Ji."

When Ji Qi arrived, the patrol team wanted to greet him.Recently, Gu Chunfeng has become more and more observant of the military rules, and he also turned around to salute, but Ji Qi is not used to it.

"Come out to patrol in such a formation," he looked at her fair face among a group of men, and immediately said in a low voice, "I'm lazy here to watch the scenery again."

"There are so many people driving and horses," Gu Chunfeng turned his eyes to the street, "I only go out when I have something to do. If there is nothing to do, it's just annoying."

This is true.Ji Qi didn't answer, he looked down at her pink lips lightly pursed as the fireworks went off, wanted to see her smile, and casually talked about recent interesting stories and the gossip about drinking warm Zhi with a bowl of wine earlier.

Gu Chunfeng didn't smile, but nodded his head.Ji Qi was embarrassed, so he had to watch the crowd and fireworks with her, and was speechless for a while, only to hear her wake up from a dream:
"Have you returned to the team after the toast?"

It was Wen Zhi.

Ji Qi answered yes in a muffled voice.

Gu Chunfeng then rode his horse to the leader's side for a few steps, "I've been guarding this alley for a long time, do you want to move around?"

A group of ten people went out from the end of the alley and headed eastward to the palace.It is also the rule of Jidu to patrol the city on important days, staying short and not far from the palace.This place is in the west of the city, not far from Quan Street. The West Market Square has closed at night, but the merchants are not stopping after dinner, setting up open-air stalls one after another to catch up with the excitement of this year's festival.

Just looking at the fireworks is less interesting after a long time. There are indeed many people who are looking at and picking at the stalls along the street.However, there are many people, and it is easy to cause troubles. Gu Chunfeng and the whole team slowed down their riding speed, and walked left and right.

When Ji Qi went out, he didn't do anything for others.But since he was devoted to his official duties, he was not good at trifling games, and he showed the rigor of his promises, and began to hesitate.

It suddenly reminded me of the evening when Mei Zhoucheng visited the downtown together the year before last.

"At that time, you picked a begonia bead flower. It seems that you have never worn it before?"【1】

The crowd was buzzing, the fireworks exploded, Gu Chunfeng was absent-minded, and it took him a while to understand when it was. "I have worn it. You have never been in the palace, so I didn't see it."

Later, she had the feather-shaped bead flower of Shen Ji, which she wore every day, fearing that other jewelry would overwhelm her, so she even chose the cleanest hairpin. 【2】

Later, the feather-like bead flower could no longer be worn.

Even today, I don't need to wear anything, my black hair is tied up high, and I have no thoughts.

"I often wear that outer robe." I bought it together with her skirt at a tailor shop, and the total was 15 taels of silver, which was the price she paid for it.Some things were considered trivial at the time and were not worth worrying about. When I look back when I am older, I only remember those things.

Gu Chunfeng thought for a while, "Remember, Qinglan, you are considered white among men, and you look good in that."

Ji Qi seldom listened to good things from her, and was even less praised by her in person. Although he was not used to it, he had no reason to be happy: "I wear a lot, it is worn out, and the color is not as bright as before. Your skirt is not big enough, right? It doesn't fit here."

Chunfeng couldn't remember where Ah Yi kept that dress, and when he was about to blur it out, he suddenly saw a familiar face in the crowd.

Pretty peachy, dancing a fan with her left hand, holding a fat man with her right hand——

Missed.Looking at the bottom two more, I know that it is a pregnant woman, and it is time to give birth. Many years ago, the day my mother and concubine gave birth to Xiao Mo, her belly was so big.

The patrol team was already eye-catching, and there were also people who looked over boldly. Shangguanyan also saw Chunfeng immediately.

Ji Qi next to her.

"It's not that the family doesn't go shopping in one street." Shangguan Yan smiled, nodded to Chunfeng from a distance, and squeezed the palm of Jing Tingge, "Your brother."

Jing Tingge shook his hands in shock, and immediately responded that "your brother" is not "your father", and then reflected that his face was very thoughtful, his heart fell, and he cursed in a low voice:

"If you dare to scare me back at night, you will suffer!"

Shangguan Yan liked to hear her words, so he smiled and begged for forgiveness, and then he saw Chunfeng riding his horse over, and Ji Qi followed closely.

"This lady is pregnant. There are many people tonight, so it's better not to get together." After the other party saluted and opened his mouth Your Highness, Gu Chunfeng said first.

Shangguanyan immediately understood, "Thank you for your advice, sir." He saluted Ji Qi again.

The two only met once when they were at the border, and Ji Qi's attitude towards the Shangguan banquet was exactly the attitude of most Qi people towards the Shangguan family: not to hate but to contempt.

"For the sake of safety, Your Excellency should go back to the posthouse and close the doors and windows for an early rest." Ji Qi said lazily, "I will not do anything to Your Excellency when I am waiting for the king's salary and loyalty; but Daqi has a vast territory, and there are chivalrous men all over the country. , if someone discovers your identity, it will inevitably cause unhappiness, and it will ruin the Tianchang Festival celebration for nothing."

You are now celebrating on the Bad Days.Gu Chunfeng frowned slightly, gouging him out of the corner of the eye.

Inexplicably, Shangguan Yan had a kind of brother-in-law's self-proclaimed superiority, and he was not annoyed when he heard the words, but just looked around: "What's wrong?"

Ji Qi raised his eyebrows: "Do you want to try?"

The crowd surged up at this moment.

It should be the last fireworks tonight, and as usual, there will be surprises.

"I don't know what's new this year!"

"Don't guess if you can't guess it, just watch!"

"Excuse me, look at the road! There are children here!"

"Hey, don't push people!"

Jing Tingge was nervous in his heart, protecting his stomach and interlocking fingers with Shangguan Yan, because he did not want to look at Ji Qi and Gu Chunfeng, he kept bowing his head deeply, "It's just watching the fireworks, what kind of collection are you going to, don't make a fuss."

In this way, the lower the voice.Shangguan Yan changed hands to hold her, and wrapped her in his arms with the other arm, moving with the crowd like a fish going down the river.

"You don't understand. There is an excellent place to watch the fireworks in Jidu City, on a broad platform outside Zheng'anmen."

Chunfeng and Ji Qi were busy performing patrol duties, and they were already riding horses around the crowd.It's not that Jing Tingge has never entered the palace through Zheng'anmen, he only remembers the wide and straight city road, and then picks up some impressions for a moment:

"It's a narrow alley on the east side of the main street, go through it, the area near the water?"

Of course it is.

The crowd surged towards the direction of the palace.Jing Tingge followed Murong Xun as soon as he descended the mountain, he had never been so embarrassed and couldn't tell where he was able to catch up with the ordinary fireworks.

The Shangguan Banquet was like a car driving her to those fireworks.There was some happiness in her heart, and for the first time she didn't forcefully wipe it away.

The broad platform near the water was already full of people.

They couldn't get through, so they simply stood on the side of the street and waited, but they were close to Zheng'anmen, and they could vaguely see Mingguangtai.

The Mingguang stage is brightly lit, and there are many palace guards waiting to escort it.Jing Tingge squinted for a while, "I don't seem to see Ji Wanling?"

Shangguan Yan followed her gaze, "That kid won't leave her behind, most likely she won't come by herself, or she will be late."

Such an answer suddenly caught Wen Shu's face, the crowd was looking up at the sky from a mile away, the fireworks were falling, and Yu Mang fell into her eyes.

"Let's imitate snow." Ji Qi and Chunfeng immediately stood under the palace wall with the whole team, and waited quietly looking at the night sky, "Isn't there a kind of wave in the first wave? It’s a good job, and the snow must be used as a fuss.”

Saying so, turning back to Chunfeng,
"Is it imitating stars and imitating snow?"

Chunfeng didn't continue to look at the sky, twisting his neck and waving his hands towards the highest place in the palace.

He raised his eyebrows and looked at the Mingguang Terrace again. Someone waved back, so it's not your lord, Mrs. Pei?
"Is there anyone who doesn't know that the princess is on duty tonight?" Gu Xinglang looked at Ruan Xueyin's back struggling to shake the silk, annoyed and funny, "Come back and sit down, what will you look like for your mother?"
