    There are many shops on both sides of the lamp market, and various lampstands are set up in front of the buildings.

    After it gets dark, every house lights up their lights in unison.

    At one time, tens of thousands of various filament lanterns, five-color gauze lanterns, silk paper lanterns, sheep horn lanterns, and ice lanterns were all lit up, making them look like brilliant stars.

    Tourists wandering among them are like walking on the Milky Way. The shocking sight will be unforgettable for the rest of their lives.

    "How is it, how is it?" Li Mingyue jumped up and down excitedly and said excitedly: "You can't see such a scene in the building, you can only walk in it."

    It was also the first time for Zhang Xiaojing to see this kind of scenery. In previous years, she followed her parents upstairs to watch the lights.  While enjoying the view, I couldn't help but peek at Zhao Hao, who was chatting and laughing with Li Mingyue, and finally couldn't help but softly said:

    "Mr. Zhao, this feeling and scene should be composed of a poem and a line of lyrics. Don't let this good time pass you by."

    But I saw Mr. Zhao shaking his head and saying seriously: "There is a view in front of me, but I can't say it. Lao Xin wrote an inscription in front of me."

    Hearing this, everyone couldn¡¯t help but nod secretly, saying that indeed, no one could write a better poem about watching the lanterns in Shangyuan with the pearls and jade in front of them, "The east wind blows flowers on a thousand trees at night."

    Mr. Xu wanted to squeeze Zhao Hao, but firstly he was worried that the little county boss was already dissatisfied with him; secondly, he was also afraid of humiliating himself. After all, they had the "First Jian Ji" on display there, and it was still the science of establishing a sect.  Sect Master, no matter how many couplets, lantern riddles, or poems, even if everyone gets together, they won't be able to compete with him.

    Actually, Mr. Zhao is really not good at it; any scholar can kill him at this time.

    After all, he is just a false poet.

    ??~~

    Fortunately, soon, the Aoshan lanterns were lit.

    The so-called Aoshan is thousands of colored lanterns stacked into a mountain shape.  Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, it has been a repertoire of the Royal Shangyuan Festival.

    During the Xuande period, Emperor Xuanzong ordered the Dong'an Gate to be opened during the Yuan Dynasty, allowing people to enter and watch.  Later, there were too many people watching, so we moved to Dong'anmenwai Street.

    Aoshan, which stands in the middle of the street, has a total of thirteen stories, which is higher than Dong'anmen.  After lighting up, the light shines brightly, and the small bridges and flowing water are really like a fairyland in the sea. There are fairies and fairies in fluttering clothes, lifelike cranes and deer The endless lights of all kinds make the people who look up under the lights in addition to the constant excitement.  Apart from exclaiming, there is no other word to describe the shock in my heart.

    When the drums and music played loudly at Dong'an Gate, the people knelt down to the city head and shouted "long live the emperor" together.

    That was when Emperor Longqing and his family came up to the balcony to enjoy themselves with the people.  When the emperor ordered all the people to be brought to justice, the Inner Court Gunpowder Bureau began to set off fireworks.

    Fireworks are set up in the square between Dong'an Gate and Donghua Gate. After the little eunuchs set off one after another, the fireworks went off together and the salute resonated.  Over the entire Dong'an Gate, all kinds of fireworks formed different patterns, including peonies, chrysanthemums, lotus flowers, ingots, and gypsophila stars. They were in various shapes and colors, covering up the moon in the sky.

    In the lantern market, there is also a wooden frame about ten feet high, with fireworks boxes placed on five levels.  There are various types of fireworks in the box, including longevity ribbons, grape trellises, pearl curtains, and everlasting towers.  After it is lit, the lights and shadows are noisy and colorful, and the eyes are captivated.  The entire lantern market really became what Lao Xin said was full of "flaming trees and silver flowers."

    The carnival officially began. Amidst the music and rituals from the Bell and Drum Temple, the people shouted and jumped excitedly. They held various colored lanterns and danced Yangko around the Aoshan lanterns.

    Li Mingyue took Zhang Xiaojing with one hand and Zhao Hao with the other, and joined the carnival team, jumping and jumping with the people.

    Li Chengen, Xu Yuanchun, and Zhang Jingxiu also put aside their restraints and joined the common people in dancing simple and cheerful dances, their voices were hoarse with excitement.

    On the street corner in the distance, Zhao Shouzheng and the eldest princess, wearing snow hats that covered most of their faces, were nestled on the Arhat bed, looking at the dazzling beauty of the prosperous age in front of them, wishing that this moment would last forever.

    ??~~

    There is no curfew in the Imperial City tonight, and the carnival does not end until midnight.

    After sending Li Mingyue brother and sister home, Zhao Hao and Gao Wu returned to Chunsong Hu and found that Zhao Shouzheng had returned.

    Seeing that his father was lying on the kang and seemed to be asleep, Zhao Hao planned to pretend to be confused and sneak in to finish the matter, so he quietly took off his boots and prepared to get into bed.

    Unexpectedly, Zhao Shouzheng opened his eyes and asked, "Have you seen everything?"

    "Uh" Zhao Hao felt guilty for a while and thought to himself, why does it seem like I am the thief?  Then he nodded and said: "That's right."

    "It's good that I saw it, otherwise I would feel uncomfortable if I kept it from you." Zhao Shouzheng seemed to be relieved, but he asked nervously: "Is it unexpected?"

    "Unexpectedlyoutside.  "Zhao Haoxin said, still a little surprised.

    "Oh, you've seen it a long time ago?" Zhao Shouzheng sat up in surprise and looked at his son.

    Zhao Hao nodded and said: "I'll get that jade pendant back for you"

    "That's right, you kid is so arrogant." Zhao Shouzheng smiled bitterly, lay back on the pillow, sighed and asked, "Do you blame me?"

    "No." Zhao Hao shook his head and said, "Father has been alone for so many years."

    "Hey, my son is so considerate"

    Zhao Shouzheng breathed a long sigh of relief and let go of the heavy stone in his heart.  He was really worried that Zhao Hao would fall out with him when he came back and say something like "I'm sorry for my mother". That would affect the parent-child relationship too much.

    Without waiting for Zhao Hao to ask questions, he took the initiative to confess:

    "That was eighteen years ago. When your grandfather was an official in the Ministry of Industry, he took my father with him to study. But he often went on business trips, so I took the opportunity to travel around. That spring, in the small Penglai behind Baiyun Temple,  I met a little girl crying under the peach blossom tree. For some reason, she left the palace and lived in peace"

    ¡®How old was your mother then?  Thirteen or fourteen years old?  Beast' Zhao Hao complained silently.

    "I didn't know her identity at that time. Who would have thought that a princess would live in a gym instead of living in the palace?" Zhao Shouzheng gradually immersed himself in memories and said:

    "I saw that she was crying sadly, so I comforted her a few words and gave her a candy. She seemed very lonely and asked me if I would come again."

    Zhao Hao was fascinated by what he heard, and thought that it turns out that his mother is still so pitiful, no wonder she is so devoted to her father, it turns out that Mr. Zhao took advantage of the situation

    "So I often went to see her, bringing her delicious food, fun things, and various books, and telling her about outside things. Finally one day, she asked to go out for a visit, so I took her with me.  She slipped out of Xiao Penglai through the back door. Later I found out that it was the first time she had walked out of that place in ten years"

    "I took her all over the capital, including enjoying flowers in Yuyuantan in spring, cooling off in Tonghui River in summer, seeing fallen leaves in Xiangshan Mountain in autumn, and skating in Shichahai in winter Unconsciously, she finally came out of the shadows and became cheerful.  She became lively. The two of us gradually developed feelings for each other. Unexpectedly, one day, a decree came down and the late emperor restored her status as a princess"

    "Before we left, we carved the pair of jade pendants in Shichahai I mustered up the courage to tell the old man about it, hoping that he would propose marriage to the late emperor. Unexpectedly, the old man got so angry that he beat me half to death and sent me back to rest.  Ning's hometown, and your mother got married Later, she was also granted marriage to Li He by the late emperor, and we have been separated since then, and have never seen each other again"

    Zhao Shouzheng naturally couldn't speak so disgustingly to his son.  After briefly explaining the ins and outs of the matter, he quickly defended himself:

    "Actually, I didn't plan to meet her again when I came to Beijing this time. When we met later, I didn't think anything would happen again. After all, her identity was there, and if anything happened, it would be bad for everyone. But who knew that something would happen?  Day by day, day by day, alas, the old feelings are rekindled."

    "What are you going to do in the future?" Zhao Hao asked the key point.

    "In the future" Zhao Shouzheng sighed quietly: "How can my eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty have any reason to remarry? This is good for now. She has me in her heart, and I have her in my heart. We can see and talk to each other from time to time, and  That¡¯s enough.¡±

    "So, if my father can't be a consort, he still has to take the imperial examination?"

    "That's natural" Zhao Shouzheng nodded with a red face.

    "Then go to sleep quickly, the retreat will begin tomorrow." After Zhao Hao finished speaking, he blew out the light with confidence.

    ¡°Well, as long as it doesn¡¯t affect my ability to hug my thighs, everything will be fine.

    ps. To be honest, I had a headache yesterday and ended up taking ibuprofen. As a result, I felt drowsy and didn¡¯t feel better until the evening.  I only slept for three hours last night, so I got up and coded again, and finally completed the fifth update.  It¡¯s the last few days, please give me a monthly vote to encourage me (Remember this site¡¯s website address: www.hlnovel.com
