The imperial concubine is favored by the Six Palaces again

Chapter 148

On the ninth day of the lunar new year, it was snowing again. Jiang Yuming drank a bowl of hot mutton soup and looked at the snow falling outside, enjoying his life.

Speaking of this year's Chinese New Year, the concubines were not promoted, presumably they were promoted once a year ago, so it is not easy to move again.

But this has nothing to do with Jiang Yuming, and she will not change her status in a year or two.

On the fifteenth day, which was the day of Lantern Festival, Jiang Yuming got up early again. There was a family dinner tonight, but he had to get up in the morning to eat glutinous rice balls.

Jiang Yuming went back to sleep after eating the glutinous rice balls, but he was in no hurry to go.

The sky outside was a bit gloomy, but it didn't snow, but the wind was slightly stronger.

After lunch, Jiang Yuming dressed up and went out. This afternoon, I have to worship the ancestors first, and then have the dinner, but the ancestor worship today is simpler and will be over soon.

I heard that Xiaohuazi said that today he can go up to the Suzaku Gate to watch the lanterns.

Jiang Yuming didn't pay much attention to these things. She wanted to know if she could put the lamp on.

The dinner was as usual with orchestral music, singing and dancing, and finally made it to the end of the dinner. Jiang Yuming became happy, and it was finally the part she was looking forward to.

Looking forward to the present from years ago, the sky lanterns were made early in the morning, and Jiang Yuming sent someone to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get two.

First, the emperor led the crowd up to the Suzaku Gate, and when everyone was seated, the fireworks could be set off.

From the Suzaku Gate, you can still vaguely see the streets outside the palace. There are people coming and going below, and there are various lanterns hanging on both sides of the street.

The bright lights seemed to light up the whole of Shangjing. Looking from a distance, you could see the lights of Wanjia below, but Jiang Yuming pulled his cloak a little coldly.

Although the scenery on the city wall is very good, the wind is quite strong.

Jiang Yuming began to miss the cool summer breeze, which felt comfortable when it blew.

Jiang Yuming was missing the summer when the fireworks below rushed into the sky with a whoosh, and bright fireworks exploded above.

Jiang Yuming's thoughts were pulled back, looking at the various fireworks in the sky, for a moment, Jiang Yuming felt that she was in modern times.

There are many kinds of fireworks on it, most of which are in the shape of flowers, such as plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum, or narcissus, which are simpler.

The entire fireworks display process lasted about ten minutes, and finally ended with the fireworks style of "Guotai Minan".

Let off the fireworks, that is, light the sky lanterns.Jiang Yuming happily took two sky lanterns, which are called Kongming lanterns in modern language.

Today's Kongming lanterns are mostly made of bamboo strips and iron blocks tied with kerosene.

Watching the lamp in his hand rise slowly, the slightly flickering light of the fire reflected Jiang Yuming's flushed cheeks from excitement, which was very moving.

Meng Chengye saw Jiang Yuming from a distance, and seeing Jiang Yuming's child-like happy face, Meng Chengye raised the corners of his lips.

How grown up, still like a child.

But I don't know if it's because of the lack of wind or other reasons. The sky lanterns released didn't fly very high, and they floated far away when they were higher than the roof.

It's not just Jiang Yuming's sky lantern that flies a little short, everyone's is too.

However, the sky lantern outside the palace flew higher, and the smile on Meng Chengye's face suddenly disappeared.

Staring at the sky lanterns that didn't fly too high, Meng Chengye turned the finger on his thumb, staring down at the engraved patterns on it, wondering what he was thinking.
