Chapter 420
During the year, young people like the Lantern Festival the most.

Because, the night of the Shangyuan Festival of the ancients is the real Valentine's Day, because on this day, thousands of doors are unlocked, and the city can't help the night, and the young people travel to the East City, singing and dancing.

"Last year on the night of the Yuan Dynasty, the lights of the flower market were like daytime. The willows were on the top of the moon, and people made appointments after dusk." It was a real meeting on the Lantern Festival.

On the night of the Shangyuan Festival, no matter you are a small family jasper or a famous lady, you can get permission to visit temple fairs by watching lanterns on this day. Everyone can wear masks to hide their identities and wander in the downtown area, so the beautiful encounters in the storybook Most of them happened on the Shangyuan Festival.

When Ning Qingqing was young, she loved this kind of storybook the most, and she liked it even more when it came to the Lantern Festival.However, now that he is old and famous, he can only cross the city by car.

At this time, she was sitting in a gorgeous sedan chair, with King Jin at her side, which still made her unhappy.

Looking at the flowers through the curtain, seeing the bright lanterns, fiery trees and silver flowers, and market transactions can only be an eye addiction.

A group of half-grown children gathered around, "Another BMW car!"

"Beauty, quickly lift the curtain and let us take a look!"

Ning Qingqing really wanted to lift the curtain, but was quickly held down by King Jin with one hand, and the prince's face was so dark that it was about to rain.

She sighed for a long time and had no choice but to give up. Finally, King Jin spoke up and said comfortingly: "The lamps in the palace tonight must also be splendid."

With a soft chuckle, "That is, that is, any hair in the palace is several times thicker than that in the folk."

She didn't enter the palace for two months, and it happened that she was going to enter the palace on the night of Shangyuan. Ning Qingqing originally planned to come out to play, so this meeting was like frost beating an eggplant, with her head downcast and her words ugly.

All the way into the palace, Xiao Zijun had to endure all kinds of restlessness and cynicism from Ning Qingqing.At this moment, he was sulking, and looked at Ning Qingqing who was at the side, maybe thinking in his heart, why did he fall in love with such a girl so obsessively.

King Jin thought of the fireworks that filled the city five years ago. On Yuan Ye, it was a rare time for him to be dragged around the night market.

When he saw Ning Qingqing for the first time, she was wearing a mask, because she couldn't speak, and wanted to get the lantern in his hand, so she had to take off the mask and sign language, so anxious that her eyebrows were talking.He had to admit that this girl was already beautiful without talking.

Xiao Zijuan was reminiscing about the past at this time, and was suddenly awakened by a light finger poke, and the girl asked him: "Why are you all running south?"

Lifting the curtain and looking, as expected, pedestrians on the street ran to South Street at the same time.

Xiao Zijun asked Gao Ming to ask a passerby, and the answer was "I heard that I went to Shanglin Temple to see something exciting."

Isn't Shanglin Temple a royal temple?Is it not possible to open to the outside world now?What is there to see?
Gently tilting her head to ask King Jin, Xiao Zijun's brows were condensed, as if thinking, she had no choice but to give up and enter the palace with peace of mind.

During the Chinese New Year, the emperor "sealed treasures" and "sealed pens" did not need to be approved by the emperor in the early court, and all the officials were also free for the New Year.Most of the matters are oral instructions, such as the Shangyuan gathering tonight.

The kings and their close ministers brought their families into the palace. Various tricks were arranged in the palace. The biggest attractions are the luxurious palace lanterns, dragon dances, fireworks shows, etc. However, the atmosphere is much worse than that of the folk.

After everyone ate some Lantern Festival symbolically, the emperor bestowed some blessing characters and pairs written in the imperial pen, and the courtiers who received the gifts were very happy, and it was a great honor.

Finally, the emperor got up on the chariot, followed by the royal officials, along the palace lantern path, guessed a few riddles on the lanterns, and went to the gardens and markets to set up stalls.

Gently following the side of the female relatives, I feel that the way in the palace tonight is a bit of a child's play, copying gourds and drawing ladles, and copying the folk way, which is meaningless.Everyone is purely to spend the Shangyuan Festival with the emperor and concubines who cannot go out.

Of course, except for Wei Qing's opinion, most people think that it is a matter of glory for the ancestors to enter the palace to see the magnificence of the palace, and to be summoned and bestowed by the emperor.

Qingqing is in the ranks of female relatives, deliberately lagging behind, just think about it for a while and watch the fireworks, don't be like a bunch of fools and accompany the concubines to the fake city streets.

She stood there looking left and right in order to look for Wushuang.It's strange that Wushuang didn't see it tonight.

She was thinking about it, so she went to Wushuang Palace to have a look, and when she went, she realized that Wushuang was not in the palace, and the maidservants were in a hurry, saying that the princess disappeared before dark, and the empress came to ask just now.

"The princess may have left the palace secretly, what should I do? If His Majesty finds out—"

Of course, paper can't hold fire, soon Concubine Yun found out about this, and quietly passed a message to the emperor.

It is said that the emperor was watching the fireworks and left in a bad mood when he heard the words. He ordered someone to find the princess and bring her back to the palace.All the ministers also watched cautiously, and scattered away after a while.

In the crowd, King Jin began to look for Ning Qingwei, because he couldn't find it, and was about to get angry with his servants, but saw her rushing over, "My lord, Wushuang is gone!"

He glanced at her and said calmly, "I know."

Wei Qing's pupils widened, feeling unbelievable, "Don't you think the problem is serious?"

This time, he didn't look at her again: "So, we are going out of the palace."

Wei Wei knows Xiao Zijun well, his usual explanations will only drive you crazy, because he can't always explain why.

At the palace gate, King Jin ordered Lin Yue and others, "Send Madam back to the palace."

Qingqing was lifting the curtain, turned around and asked in surprise, "You don't want me to go back?"

King Jin had already got on his horse, and at this moment he dropped the bridle, and said to her, "You go back first, I have something to do and I'll be back later."

With a flick of the whip, Xiao Zijun rode away.

Ning Qingqing felt strange, but had to leave in a sedan chair.

In the fiery night, the flower market shines brightly.

The long street was still bustling, filled with flute and drum noise, and people's shadows were mixed.

People spread rumors about what happened in Shanglin Temple tonight, they heard some lightly and faintly, they had a bad premonition in their hearts, they already knew what happened to Xiao Zijun.

Could it be that Wushuang left the palace to see Zen Master Jingwu?Didn't Xiao Zijun say that he would not leave Shanglin Temple?
*
Let's talk about what happened in Shanglin Temple.

It turned out that the princess and Jing Wu had an affair, and King Jin informed Jing Wu to leave Shanglin Temple for refuge. Soon after he left, the emperor's secret order arrived.

In fact, the elders of Shanglin Temple had heard about Jing Wu's relationship with the princess, but they didn't stop them.This Shanglin Temple has been a royal temple for 30 years, and it is much more secular than ordinary mountain temples. The donations given by the palace every year are enough to mold several golden Buddhas.

There are often virtuous and respected Zen masters who come to the palace to chant the Dharma, and there are also high-ranking officials and nobles who meet with Zen masters through tea and poetry.If nothing happens, everyone is safe and sound, and if something happens, these elders and teachers will take out the Buddhist rules and clean up the house to make a show.

At the beginning, King Jin thought about Wushuang, so he decided to let go of his life, but he didn't expect that he would come back.

Jing Wu and Wu Shuang make an appointment to meet each other on the Lantern Festival.
