National Beauty
Chapter 175: 175
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the court officials took a three-day holiday.
In previous years, there would be a lantern tower in the palace, and the emperor's concubines, relatives, relatives, and court officials shared the rewards. This year, the emperor's uncle passed away from illness. As a sign of mourning, the Emperor Xuande ordered everything to be simple in the palace, and the banquets were not held. The courtiers and the people were not required to forbid joy, so the people continued to run the lantern market, and the courtiers could also display lanterns and festivities.
However, Zhao Heng ordered to go down early in the Shou Palace, that there is no need to buy lanterns this Mid-Autumn Festival. After all, it is the emperor who died. Not only Shou Palace, but the other three palaces, except for the indulgent King Chu, who started arrogantly in advance. The Royal Palace and Prince Gong's Palace were quietly mourning with Emperor Xuande.
No big deal, Zhao Heng ordered people to prepare red paper, bamboo strips, paste and other utensils, and he accompanies his wife and daughter to enjoy themselves.
The bamboo strips are all cleaned up by the people, but it takes skills to make a lantern. The little **** demonstrated three times. Zhao Heng learns quickly, and Song Jianing is confused. So the couple sat face to face, Zhao Heng made bamboo lanterns, Song Jianing Make paper lanterns. Combing Zhaozhao, he sat next to his mother and looked at him for a while, and then moved to the father's place, Xing's eyes stared intently.
When Zhao Heng finished making up the light stand, Song Jianing's paper lantern had already been pasted, so he happily ran into his mother's arms and touched it rarely. Song Jianing hugged her daughter and looked at the prince opposite with some pride. Zhao Heng glanced at her, smiled, looked down, and began to wrap red gauze on the light stand.
The man has a handsome face, white and slender fingers, and what he has done meticulously reveals his elegance and elegance. Song Jianing hugged his daughter while watching, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously. He watched and heard a strange sound of "pounce". Song Jianing lowered her head questioningly, and saw her daughter's fat finger poking into the lantern she had worked so hard to make up! Poked a big hole!
Song Jianing's eyes moved to her daughter's face.
Zhao Zhao looked up at his head and stared at his mother blankly. Seeing her mother frowned, Zhao Zhao obediently pulled out his finger, and then he saw the big hole in the red lantern. Zhao Zhao blinked and pointed to the hole to tell his mother: "It's broken..."
Song Jianing raised his eyes and caught a glimpse of the unconcealed smile from the corner of his prince's lips, pretending to be ignorant of the misfortune even though he was gloating. Song Jianing took a deep breath, and then calmly said to her daughter, "Yes, the lantern is broken. We don't have any lanterns to see tonight. We can only eat moon cakes to enjoy the moon."
Zhaozhao liked lanterns, so he was immediately anxious, tilted his head and looked around, and pointed to the extra red paper next to him to show his mother, which meant that he would block the hole in the lantern. The little girl was so smart, Song Jianing couldn't bear to scare her daughter anymore, cut a round piece of red paper with scissors, and carefully glued it on.
Zhao Zhao laughed again, turning the lantern slowly to look.
Song Jianing continued to look at the prince opposite, Zhaozhao had played enough mother's lanterns, suddenly remembered something, and tilted his head. Previously, Zhao Heng had only one lamp stand, and Zhao Zhao, who was bare, didn’t like it at all. Now Zhao Heng’s lantern is wrapped in red yarn and looks like a real lantern. When Zhao Zhao sees his father’s size, he will kiss his mother. Put his little lantern back on the table and swayed towards his father.
"Zhao Zhao is obedient, don't move." Zhao Heng patted the place around him and told his daughter to sit down.
Zhaozhao don't sit down, lie down on the low table, curiously watching the father and the king are busy, several times he wanted to sneak a bit, but Zhao Heng blocked him in advance, and once blocked Zhaozhao, he giggled once. Zhao Heng motioned the princess to come to see her daughter, Song Jianing deliberately did not move, Zhao Heng gave her a deep look.
Song Jianing was finally scared. The last time the prince looked at her like this, her waist was almost broken by him.
"Father is not a coincidence?" Song Jianing hurriedly flattered, came over and hugged his daughter on his lap, and looked next to him.
"Coincident!" Zhao Zhao said, looking at his father.
Zhao Heng picked up the paintbrush and smiled and said to his daughter: "Daddy draws Zhaozhao."
Zhaozhao was hugged by his father and painted many times. Knowing what it means to paint her, he took it more seriously. Zhao Heng held the lantern with one hand and painted with the other. He quickly drew two fairies up there. The big colorful clothes fluttered like Chang'e in the moon palace, except that Chang'e held the jade rabbit in his arms, the fairy described by Shou Wangye, in his arms. What was holding was... a pretty and lovely little fairy.
"Zhao Zhao!" Zhao Zhao recognized her at a glance.
Zhao Heng looked at the princess, pointed to the fairy and asked her daughter, "Who is this?"
Zhao Zhao grinned and looked up: "Mother!" Of course it was the mother who held her.
Song Jianing bowed her head to kiss her daughter. The wife was getting tired and crooked, but he listened to the painting Wang Ye said: "No."
Song Jianing looked over unexpectedly, and Zhaozhao also looked at his father blankly, looking at him with two pairs of moist apricot eyes. Zhao Heng ignored his princess, only pointed to the big beauty in the painting, and taught his daughter solemnly: "There are gods in the sky, called Fairy Jianing."
Zhao Zhao muttered to learn the words: "God..."
Song Jianing's face turned red, and Shuiyao's eyes looked at the nonsense man in a strange way: "The prince is not afraid to remember it?" In case her daughter enters the palace to watch the lantern, she points to Chang'e on the lantern and calls Fairy Jianing , Others misunderstood that she taught her daughter what to do? By then, the delicious Princess Shou will have more fame: Stinky.
Zhao Heng hadn't heard of it, and pointed to the girl in the arms of "Fairy Jianing" and said, "This is Fairy Zhaozhao."
Zhao Zhao laughed more happily.
Zhao Heng looked at his daughter, but his hand went around her daughter and held the princess's little hand.
As the sky darkened, Zhao Heng lighted the lantern, held his daughter and led his wife to the courtyard to admire the moon and the lanterns.
On August 15th, the bright moon hung high in the sky, and the bright afterglows shone into the homes of millions of people. When the family of Shouwang’s family of three was snuggling to admire the moon, Ruiwang’s mansion in the inner city, Ruiwang was also drinking and having fun with his princesses and concubines. , It's just that King Rui's heart is not here, and from time to time he has to look in the direction of the Chu Palace.
Since learning the real reason for the secluded residence of the King of Chu, he secretly planned for a month. Whether it succeeds or fails depends on tonight.
Picking up the wine bottle that had just been filled by the maid, King Rui looked up to it.
~
Compared with the deserted mansion of the Shou Mansion, the Chu Mansion only hung a few illuminating lanterns, and only a lantern made by Zhao Heng himself. Because the Chu Mansion was bored in the palace for too long, it was rare to have a holiday, so that people would be upright. The courtyards and gardens are covered with all kinds of lanterns. After dinner, the king of Chu held Brother Sheng, and Feng Zheng took Brother Sheng. The family of four enjoyed it one by one. From the courtyard to the waterside pavilion by the lake, the moonlight was the best here.
The moon is shining, Brother Sheng holding a piece of moon cake in his hand, sitting on the steps outside the water pavilion, eating while staring at the moon, curiously asked: "Father, is that dark moon palace?" The nurse gave him it. Having told the story of Chang'e flying to the moon, Brother Sheng knew that the beautiful Chang'e fairy lived on the moon.
King Chu also sat on the ground, touched his eldest son's head, and smiled at the moon: "No, that's Wu Gang's Guilin, and the moon palace is blocked."
Brother Sheng was a little disappointed, he wanted to see what the Moon Palace was like.
King Chu was still a son because he couldn't see Chang'e and was unhappy. He turned his eyes and smiled at the daughter-in-law on the other side of the eldest son: "Chang'e is not as good as your mother."
Brother Sheng looked at his mother in surprise.
Feng Zheng scoffed at her husband. His son was so old, he was not serious yet.
Brother Sheng was about to ask if his father had seen Chang'e with his own eyes. He turned his head and suddenly noticed that there was fire in the garden. At first it was just a ball of fire the size of a lantern, and it suddenly grew bigger. Brother Sheng was taken aback, and immediately called his father to watch. King Chu turned his head and saw the fire, his face suddenly sank, and he quickly handed the adult brother to Feng Zheng. He got up and left, and asked his wife without looking back: "You take Brother Sheng and them back first, I'll take a look."
"Lord, wait!" Feng Zheng hugged his second son, calling out anxiously. Since the prince has recovered from his illness, he has not left her eyes.
However, King Chu had already led people into the night.
I don't know if he was scared by the fire, or because the father left him and ran away, Cheng brother started crying. Feng Zheng originally wanted to give her son to the nursing mother. She followed to see the prince, but Cheng's brother hugged her neck tightly and didn't want his mother to leave. Feng Zheng was so cruel that he had to sit on the waterside and coax his son first, think about it. There was father-in-law Kang beside the prince, and Feng Zheng was somewhat relieved. As for the fire, it was probably a lantern that was blown to the ground by the wind.
When the king of Chu came here with Father Kang, the fire was almost extinguished by the three little eunuchs who came first. The fire was very strong, but because the place where the fire started was an open space, the flames did not reach the surrounding trees. , The little eunuchs took off their robes and put them out. The autumn wind blew the remaining smoke upwards, and the burnt paper fluttered in disorder, and the remaining paper was faintly visible in the black ashes.
No one can tell that someone has worshipped here.
Who do you worship?
Duke Kang was most afraid of someone mentioning King Qin in the ears of his master, so he was the first to think of King Qin at this time, not afraid of ten thousand, but just in case, Duke Kang subconsciously stood in front of the master, and solemnly persuaded him: "Lord, this matter. The little one will definitely check it out thoroughly. Let the prince go to comfort the princess and the two princes first, don't let the princess be scared."
The king's mansion was out of these brave and dainty slaves. King Chu's complexion was not pretty. He ordered Grandpa Kang to investigate carefully. He turned around and prepared to go back to spend the holidays with his wife and children. However, at the moment of turning around, King Chu suddenly realized that he was not far away. There were two things scattered among the grasses, just in the moonlight, it was vaguely visible that they were two human-shaped puppets.
King Chu frowned and strode towards the grass. Father Kang followed his master’s gaze and looked at him. He was frightened and rushed forward with a few arrows, without looking at what was written on the doll. He wanted to tear it up by instinct. Oh, can it be ruined by brute force?
"Bring it." Chu Wang said solemnly, unable to understand Father Kang's weird behavior.
Father Kang hid two things behind him, and said incoherently: "Master, this, this thing is not clean, don't stain your hands."
King Chu guessed that it was the evidence left by the person who set fire tonight, and Duke Kang was suspicious. The first thought of Duke Kang was that Duke Kang wanted to protect him. So angrily, he walked to Duke Kang and grabbed it like iron tongs. Duke Kang's shoulder turned hard, causing Duke Kang to skew his body in pain, and the King of Chu took the opportunity to **** two dolls.
There was a lantern hung on the tree next to him. King Chu turned over the doll and found that the doll was actually wearing a prince’s court clothes, and on the doll’s chest, there were a few blood-red characters: King Qin died unjustly, never to live beyond life...
