Chapter 271 Red lady, go up the tall building

In order to make this lantern market well and lively, Wang Xiang spent a lot of effort. Although he went to the warehouse to search for information on these lantern riddles, he also spent a night dismantling them and transcribing them all.

Originally, he didn't want to get involved in Li Er's family affairs, especially in the fight for the crown prince, but now he has gotten involved with Li Chengqian by accident, so he couldn't help but be careless and work hard. Li Chengqian in history was a tragic prince, and he didn't want to be involved in the tragedy. I can work hard on my own.

Li Chengqian obviously didn't know what Wang Xiang was thinking, and it was impossible for him to think that he would rebel against him in history. None of the three dared to disobey what the second said.

In history, the reason why Li Chengqian rebelled was because of the sense of crisis in his heart, the death of Empress Changsun, his own leg disease, and Li Er's closeness and love for Li Tai and Li Ke, all of which constantly stimulated Li Chengqian, making him He became more and more afraid, afraid of losing his own glory and status.

Fear and fear to the extreme will make people crazy and do things that they can't even imagine.

To avoid tragedy, Li Chengqian's sense of crisis must be resolved. As long as Li Er is very satisfied with his performance, he has no reason to rebel.

This year's Lantern Festival will have such an effect.

On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, the day before the Lantern Festival, the people in Chang'an City felt a completely different atmosphere from previous years for the Lantern Festival. Hundreds of servants and even soldiers were busy decorating the West Street, from Jinguang Lake to Xuanwu. The whole street is decorated with all kinds of lanterns, and the variety of styles is dizzying.What is the concept of tens of thousands of lanterns?It is absolutely unimaginable if you have not seen it with your own eyes, but those who have seen it with their own eyes have only one feeling-spectacular.

It was already Xu time when all the lanterns were arranged. Because of the Lantern Festival, there was no curfew in Chang'an City these days, and the people gathered in the streets, as if they were wandering in the sea of ​​lights. It is denser than the stars in the sky, the lights are up and down, and the voices are full of people. Before the Lantern Festival, the atmosphere can already be seen.

"Sister Ningxiang, I've never seen such a big lantern festival. No wonder it's called the Lantern Festival." Xiaobei excitedly looked around with big watery eyes, and couldn't help reaching out to touch those lovely lanterns from time to time. , When had she seen so many delicate and lovely lanterns.

white, pink, red...

Lotus-shaped, rabbit-shaped, doll-shaped...

Each lantern is like an exquisite work of art, so lifelike that people can't help but want to own it after seeing it.Not only Xiao Bei, but others have never thought that lanterns can be made in such a variety of ways. When Li Chengqian asked people to send the templates of these lanterns to the workshop, the masters who had been making lanterns for many years were all amazed.

Seeing Xiaobei lingering in front of a rabbit-shaped lantern for a long time, unwilling to leave, Ningxiang smiled and said, "If you like it, take one." She saw many people holding a lantern in their hands However, the servants and soldiers who arranged the lanterns did not prevent everyone from taking the lanterns, and they could be taken away.

Xiao Bei blinked his eyes and said hesitantly, "Is it possible?"

"Of course, you can take a few if you like."

"Prince Wang!" Ning Xiang and the others cheered in surprise when they turned their heads, and Wang Xiang was standing behind them with a smile.

"It's better to have fun alone than to have fun with everyone. The lantern fair organized by the Prince's Mansion this time is aimed at bringing joy to the people. If you have any lanterns you like, you can take them away."

Originally, I went out to visit the Lantern Market with Little Lolita and Ju Yiya, but they played so crazy that they disappeared after a while. Wang Xiang wandered casually by himself, but unexpectedly saw Ningxiang. People were also visiting the Lantern Market, and they couldn't help but speak when they heard Xiao Bei and Ning Xiang's words.

Xiaobei was still a little embarrassed, Wang Xiang pointed to the children in front of them who were chasing and playing with lanterns and said with a smile: "There are a total of [-] lanterns decorated in the Lantern Market, can you take them all?"

"Eighty thousand!" Xiao Bei opened his mouth wide in surprise, even Ning Xiang and the others were stunned by this number.

The lantern festivals they participated in in previous years were only more than 1000 lanterns, which is already a lot. Last year, Yicuilou also held a lantern festival in Jinguang Lake. Ning Xiang remembered that a total of [-] lanterns were decorated at that time, [-]... …

Wang Xiang picked up the rabbit lantern that Xiaobei had looked at for a long time and handed it to her with a smile, "How about it, you can take it with confidence now."

"Yeah, thank you, Mr. Wang." Xiaobei excitedly took the lantern and held it in his hand. He looked down, and the smile on his red face became even brighter.

Seeing this, Xiaocui couldn't help but choose a lantern she liked. After Ningxiang and the others comforted her, Xiaocui's mood improved a lot, and she also had a smile on her face.

Qing'er was even more greedy, she liked this one, and that one too, until she held a beautiful lantern in each hand before giving up.

Ningxiang and Xiaoyun didn't go to get the lantern, Wang Xiang smiled and said, "Why, no one likes it?"

Ning Xiang shook her head and smiled slightly: "Each of the lanterns made by Wang Gongzi makes people like it."

"Haha, let's pick one."

Hearing what Wang Xiang said, Ningxiang took a lotus-shaped lantern beside her, and Xiaoyun also picked out a doll-shaped lantern.

Seeing that several people had chosen the lanterns, Wang Xiang smiled and said, "There is a lantern among the lanterns you picked that is different, I wonder if you have noticed it."

Qing'er looked at the lanterns in the hands of several people and said, "Is it different? We chose different lanterns."

"The difference I'm talking about is not this difference." Wang Xiang looked mysterious.

Hearing what he said, several people looked carefully at the lantern in their own hands and the lantern in the opponent's hand.

"Huh? Sister Ningxiang, there seems to be a little kit under your lantern." Xiaobei's eyes are the sharpest, and he was the first to notice the difference in the lantern in Ningxiang's hand.

After she said that everyone found the little kit hanging under the lotus-shaped lantern, the kit is not big, not as big as Xiaobei's palm, tied with a thin red string, Ningxiang touched it curiously The kit is very light, and there doesn't seem to be anything in it.

Wang Xiang motioned to her, "Open it and have a look."

Qing'er and Xiaobei also moved their heads curiously and urged: "Sister Ningxiang, quickly open it and see what's inside."

When Ning Xiang took off the kit, she suddenly thought of something, and the movements of her hands accelerated a little.

After the kit was opened, there was only a small piece of paper inside, Qing'er and Xiao Bei felt a little disappointed, but Ning Xiang's eyes lit up.

He took out the slip of paper in the kit and read in a low voice: "Red lady, going up to the tall building, my heart hurts and tears flow."
