Chapter 289 Washing away the haze of fifteen years in one day (second update)
So the emperor, concubine and others, surrounded by the officials, walked down the Yingtian Tower and boarded the carriage back to the palace.

After the emperor was sent away, all the ministers also dispersed, preparing to go home to celebrate this sacred and joyful day with their families.

As the head of all the officials, Xuan Ying was naturally the first to leave in a carriage. Before getting into the carriage, he even smiled and said goodbye to all his colleagues and subordinates, as if he was no different from others , I also want to go back to celebrate the festive season with my family.

But Wanyan knew very well that as soon as she entered the mansion, Xuanying would lock herself in the study, not letting anyone in, not even lighting a candle.

When Wanyan was a child, she used to sneak a peek at the window of her father's study room. At that time, her father didn't fall asleep at all, but sat upright by the desk, neither reading nor writing, not doing anything. Sitting like that.

In the dark night, Wanyan couldn't see her father's eyes clearly, she didn't know what mood he was in, and she didn't know whether he just sat for a while or sat all night.

All she knew was that her father was even more gloomy than that night.

At this moment, if she and Xuan Yi spoke loudly, or if their laughter was heard, there would be a scolding without any reason, or even a severe beating.

Thinking of this, Wanyan's heart that had just warmed up suddenly cooled down a little bit, she knew that she had been tainted with festive atmosphere just now, and the gloom would be washed away immediately.

At this moment, Wanyan's carriage drove over among the carriages waiting to be picked up one after another, and stopped at Wanyan's feet.

"Second Miss, get in the carriage." The coachman said respectfully after getting out of the carriage and placing a footstool on Wanyan.

Wanyan had already stepped on the footstool with one foot, and suddenly thought of something, she withdrew her foot, and said to the coachman, "You go back first, I'll eat and go for a walk."

It's rare to be able to come out for a day during the Holy Xuan Festival, if you don't feel the joy of this festival enough, how can Wanyan return to the haze willingly.

Hearing this, the coachman clasped his fists and begged, "That's not right, Second Miss. Before leaving, the Master specially ordered the servant to leave for the house immediately and not to stay longer on the street. So Second Miss, please be kind and follow the servant." Let's go back together, otherwise the slave will never be able to explain to the master!"

However, Wanyan has made up her mind, she won't go back no matter how much she persuades her, she waved her hand at the coachman and said, "You don't have to worry, I will tell my father when I go back, I insist on going back for a walk, I definitely won't Let you be punished!"

If she can take a good look at today's most grand capital and satisfy her imagination and expectation for more than ten years, even if her father beats her up, Wanyan is also willing to do so.

So after finishing speaking, Wanyan turned around and walked towards the crowd.

Naturally, the coachman knew that Wanyan couldn't be stopped, but he still struggled and begged: "Second Miss, please take a maid! It's really not safe for you to be alone!"

However, Wanyan had already gone too far, and before her figure was about to disappear into the sea of ​​people, she turned her back to the coachman and waved her hands.

The coachman had no choice but to give up, but then he thought that with Second Miss's ability, no one who could stand up to her in the capital city would be handy, and there was no danger, so he went back to report to the master in fear.

As soon as Wanyan entered the crowd over there, it was like a fish out of water entering the sea. Every cell in her body was awakened, and her whole body was jumping and jumping alive.

But today's streets in Kyoto have lived up to Wanyan's expectations. Not only is the flow of people ten times that of the past, but the scenery is also many times more beautiful, which is completely different from the usual Kyoto.

In the past, the road guard trees that looked like old men who had lost their teeth were now decorated by the people from nearby houses, wearing red paper flowers or red cloth; At this time, the doors are wide open, and every household has set up a table in the yard. The steaming hot food on the table is filled with white smoke that makes the whole body warm when you look at it in the winter night. Every street is full of fun.

The bustling crowd in the street makes the winter night so crowded that it brings a bit of warmth, and there are many couples holding hands among them, and wherever they go, they will be sweet.

Wanyan was moved by the crowd, obviously her ears were a little sore from the noisy and turbulent voice, her nose was full of different smells mixed in the crowd, and obviously the happiness that she saw had nothing to do with her, but as long as Being in such a warm and festive atmosphere, Wanyan was already very happy and contented, as if her heart had been washed by the joy of others.

Of course Wanyan is not wandering around without direction and goal, she has her own destination, she is going to the lakeside in the center of the city, which is the best place to watch the fireworks ceremony tonight.

When she was locked up in the Xuan Mansion in previous years, every time Wanyan could clearly hear the thrilling sound of cannon firing, the sound of fireworks blooming in the air, and the sound of golden threads all over the sky outside the high wall of her home. The sound of falling, the sound of the crowd cheering.

Wanyan could even feel that the small piece of square sky above her head seemed to be lit up a bit.

Wanyan really wanted to go and see that magnificent visual feast, but she didn't even have the courage to look up at the sky.

Father said more than once that if she and Xuan Yi participated in any activities on Shengxuan Day, it would be a disrespect and betrayal to him, to his mother, to Xuanfu, and to the Baize clan.

But today Wanyan put all of this behind her, she just wanted to see it, she wanted the fireworks that light up everyone's world to also light up her world.

Although Wanyan, who was completely submerged by the crowd at this time, could not find the slightest sense of direction, but as the night darkened to the extreme, the crowds pouring into the street became larger and larger.

People want to watch the fireworks, or people want to bring their wishes to the fireworks, and let the fireworks bring them to the Holy One.

Wanyan moved along with the crowd for an unknown how long, and finally saw the stone railing by the lake between the crowds, and the crowd gradually stopped moving, and everyone stopped in place and waited excitedly for the fireworks to come.

The little Wanyan was afraid that she could only see shaking heads in the crowd, so she tried her best to get out of the crowd to the river, and found a relatively free place to stand.

It was only then that Wanyan realized that the usually bare stone railings of the river had been covered with ribbons made of fluttering red ropes.

Seen from a distance, a row of gorgeous and elegant red streamers looked like flames, lighting up the entire river and warming the three-foot-frozen water surface.
