[I still want to collect and ask for flowers, if you have extra flowers, just smash them hard]

The Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month is also known as the Shangyuan Festival and the Spring Lantern Festival. It is a traditional folk festival of the Han nationality.

Among the traditional Chinese festivals, the Spring Festival has the most important status and the highest standard, while the Shangyuan Festival is the most lively.

Legend has it that the Lantern Festival was set up by Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty to commemorate "Ping Lu". Emperor Wen deeply felt that the peace and prosperity were hard-won, so he designated the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to quell the "chaos of Zhu Lu" as a day of fun with the people. The house is decorated with lanterns and streamers to show the celebration.Since then, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month has become a universally celebrated festival - "Lantern Festival".

"A sheng song is like the sea in spring, and the lights of thousands of gates are like day in the night."This poem is the best portrayal of the Lantern Festival.

This year's Shangyuan Festival is very different. Because foreign envoys came to make a pilgrimage, Emperor Yang ordered a grand party to entertain guests and envoys from all over the world.The Lantern Festival celebration is very grand, with lanterns and festoons everywhere, singing and dancing day and night, with more than 8000 performers and more than [-] musicians. The stage is eight miles long.It is said that they will stay up all night and have fun.

Early in the morning, Princess Nanyang ran to the mansion and asked Yang Wei to accompany her to watch the lantern at night.Yang Hao is a big man, you said you are already married as a woman, and you asked me to accompany you to see the lamp, isn't that letting me be a light bulb? Yang Hao resolutely refused to do it. In the end, she couldn't survive Princess Nanyang, so she had to find Qing Hui Accompanying her, who would have thought that two young women of average age and a young girl hit it off right away, and they became acquainted after a while, and sure enough, people of the same age had a common language.In the end, Qinghui was dragged by Princess Nanyang to go crazy with her.

With no one to bother him, Yang Hao can properly prepare for tonight's date. I am ashamed to say that this is the first date for such a grown-up person, and a standard big girl gets on the sedan chair.

The first time a hero saved the beauty, it was a wonderful encounter; the second time he met inadvertently in the mountains, knowing each other's intentions; and this time it will be a date in the true sense, Yang Hao has to take it seriously, his happy life may be It depends on tonight.

Before the time of You, and before the hour of Xu, there were already sounds of carriages passing by on the street, and it became more and more dense.For the ancients who did not have any entertainment activities at night, the night of Shangyuan Festival is their best entertainment time.Of course, except for the Song Dynasty, it was also fully open, and the lights were different everywhere.

"Master, let's go to watch the lanterns too." Xiao Shunzi looked expectant. When Yang Hao was decadent and dared not go out in the mansion, Xiao Shunzi and some of the servants would sneak out to play.But now it's different, my master has become wise and mighty, no one dares to move, but everyone is looking forward to it.

"Oh~, I forgot, you used to sneak out to play secretly, of course your heart is itchy today."

"Okay, anyone who wants to go out today can go out to play, but you must remember to come back at Haishi, or you won't keep the door." Just when Xiao Shunzi thought he was going to be scolded, Yang Hao suddenly said this A heartwarming word.A group of people were so excited beyond words, they were indeed amiable and wise masters.

"Today I go out to play by myself, so you don't have to follow, you can play wherever you want, that's it, don't talk nonsense, I know you must be alone." Yang Hao said to Xiao Shunzi

"Okay then, master, have fun with yourself." Xiao Shunzi said shyly, but he was guessed.

"Fire trees and silver flowers converge, star bridge iron locks open. The dark dust follows the horses, and the bright moon follows people." As soon as he walked to the intersection of the West Market, Yang Hao saw a scene full of lights and moonlight, full of tourists, and a bustling scene .I couldn't help but recite the poem "Fifteen Nights of the First Moon" by Su Weiwei.It's not that Yang Hao doesn't want to go in, it's just that the person waiting hasn't arrived yet, so he can only wait at the appointed place. When a man and a woman are dating, the man should arrive first. This is the most basic etiquette.

For tonight's date, Yang Hao specially dressed up. The silver white and light yellow prince's robes were not suitable, so he changed into white scholar's clothes, in order to match Yin Mingyue's snow white.Don't ask Yang Hao how he knew that Yin Mingyue would wear white clothes, just think about it, black is not the mainstream color in this era, and for a woman like Xiang Yinmingyue who is like a holy lily, white clothes are the best attire.Yang Hao was still holding that special fan, and he looked more like a handsome young man, so chic and handsome.

Gulu~gulu~, Da~da~

A carriage was parked next to Yang Hao, which Yang Hao had seen at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, and the coachman was also an acquaintance, who was the guard of the Yin family who was passed by Yang Hao.

"Brother Yang is here?" A soft voice came from the carriage

"Ms. Hui, the prince is already waiting." As soon as the guard finished speaking, Yin Mingyue came out of the carriage.

The person is still the same person, with the scarf on his face.But in the night, under the moonlight and lights, it looks beautiful, really like a fairy descending from the earth.Yang Hao couldn't help but stare dumbfounded.

"Brother Yang~" Seeing Yang Hao looking straight at her, Yin Mingyue called Yang Hao embarrassingly.

"Uh, I'm sorry, the bright moon is so beautiful, it makes you, brother Yang, a little distracted." Yang Hao said shamelessly

After saying this, Yin Mingyue's face turned even redder. Fortunately, she was wearing a veil at night, so she wasn't seen. "Brother Yang is also true. He said it so bluntly, and there are people beside him, but I like it very much."

"Since the bright moon is here, let's enjoy the annual night view of Daxing City together."

"By the way, you go back first. I will leave your lady's safety to me tonight. I will send her back later. You don't have to pick her up." After Yang Hao finished speaking to Yin Mingyue, he turned and thought about the guard again. explain

"Here~, okay, then I'll go back, and the safety of the young lady will be left to you, the lord." The guard also knew that Yang Hao was powerful, and if something happened that even Yang Hao couldn't solve, then he would not be able to solve it one more time. Not very useful, not to mention the taste of being a light bulb is very unpleasant.

The moonlight lights fill the imperial city, and fragrant chariots and chariots overflow the thoroughfare.Lantern Festival Lanterns have a long history, and the scale is grand.A lamp without a moon does not mislead people, and a moon without lamps is not considered spring.When spring comes to the world, people are like jade, and the moon is like silver when the lamp is burning.The streets are full of pearls and emeralds and spring girls, playing and singing to compete with the gods of the society.If you don't show Fangzun and smile, how can you get rid of this good time

Yang Hao and Yin Mingyue shuttled between the lanterns everywhere, because of the crowds, Yang Hao had to hold Yin Mingyue's hand to protect her safety.Walking together, the two are really like a pair of golden boys and jade girls, and they are very well matched.

"Brother Yang, shall we also go to put up lanterns?" Yin Mingyue saw many people putting up lanterns, so she wanted to put one up too. The most important thing is that it is said that men and women put up a lantern and pray at the same time, then they will love each other to the fullest. Forever, and this is what Yin Mingyue wants most.

"Okay, it just so happens that I haven't let go of the lantern, so let's go buy one and put it on." After speaking, he dragged Yin Mingyue to the place where the lanterns were sold.

The lamp seller was an old woman, surrounded by many people.When it was Yang Hao's turn, there was almost no one behind.

"Do you two want to buy one or two? I think the two should be married couples, so I suggest that you buy a lotus lamp. Lotus means to be connected together. The two look so well-matched. , I wish you love until the end of your life." The old woman seemed more suitable to be a moon elder, and she said that the face of the moon was hot.

"Then buy one, Brother Yang?"

"Well, okay." Yang Hao paid for a lotus lantern and left under the watchful eyes of the old man.

"Brother Yang, what wish did you make?" Yin Mingyue asked Yang Hao after releasing the wand together, with a hopeful tone in his tone.

"Then what wish did Mingyue make?" Yang Hao asked without answering.

"Brother Yang should answer the girl first to be polite."

"Uh, well, I promised that it would be great if every day could be like this." He said, looking at Yin Mingyue expectantly.

It can be seen that Yin Mingyue is a little embarrassed, but very happy.Yang Hao is waiting for her answer

"Brother Yang, let's go over there to see the lantern couplets and lantern riddles." He said and walked over there.

Yang Hao touched his nose in embarrassment, it was hard to fathom what a woman was thinking.

Lantern riddles existed in the Spring and Autumn Period. They were called "Yinyu" at that time, and they were called "mysteries" in the Han and Wei Dynasties. Enjoying lanterns, guessing lantern riddles, and singing lanterns make the atmosphere of the Lantern Festival lively and warm.These are the main purposes for people to come out to play at night.
