Chapter three hundred and ninety-nine lanterns
Li Xian held his hand and once again encouraged Li Jun to preside over the funeral. His father was unwell and he had entrusted all the government affairs for the past few days. Li Jun agreed one by one. As soon as this happened last night, he was prepared. Li Xian, who had always been weak, encountered such a bad thing and would definitely not be able to deal with the government affairs again.
After the hustle and bustle, everything returned to peace. Li Chongfu received the treatment he deserved and lay in the tomb prepared for him by Li Xian in advance.
The dead are gone, and the living must cheer up and continue to fight.
The real battle will begin.
In Luoyang City, Yuan was over, and then people were busy preparing for the next important festival.
Although the owner was not there, Luoyang East Palace also started making lanterns early, and the servants and maids also received a rare holiday, each with one, and planned to be very proud at the lantern festival.
Since Ping An sent the news, in the past few days, the Eastern Palace has been in peace and has no way of hearing about the conspiracy.
Pei Heng and Mo'er gradually approached because of their common secrets, and could stand together from time to time and talk side by side.
A discerning person also saw that there was something wrong with these two people.
No one will talk too much. The most rare thing in the world is that lovely men and women come together, and who will break up such a good marriage?
But Mo'er herself often has a cautious attitude towards their relationship because she is a slave, and dare not let herself get too deep into it, fearing that she will not be together in the future and will be sad in vain.
But even so, she could not refuse Pei Heng's kindness. So, the lantern she was going to use today was made by Pei Heng himself.
It was getting darker and the lantern festival was about to begin. The servants and maids in the East Palace were also preparing to go out to watch the lanterns, but the East Palace could not be without guarding them, so I thought of a fair and reasonable way.
Now all the servants on duty, maids and guards gathered in front of a small pot and stared at the black and Youyou Cave.
Everyone is ready to go, the things inside can determine their life and death tonight, which is extremely important.
Everyone's eyes were bright and they cautiously reached their hands into the pot. At this time, they could still reflect the personality of a person. Some of them were rough and generous, and they casually pulled out a note in just a moment. Some were not that easy. When they reached out, they hesitated. When they reached into the pot, they still didn't give up. They kept stirring their fingers for a few times. When the people behind were impatient, they barely picked up one, looking very unwilling.
After all the notes were drawn, everyone spread their notes. With just one action, the expression on everyone's face changed completely.
The one who drew the horizontal bar note naturally smiled happily. They had seen the lanterns tonight. Without saying a word, they had already dressed up and couldn't wait for a moment.
Those who draw blank notes are helpless. They are all due to God’s will. If you don’t win, this means that God also asked you to stay in the mansion today and not go out to stroll.
Mo'er's mood at this moment was not good or bad. She held the note in her hand, but did not move her steps, and her eyes floated to the person she was thinking about from time to time.
Pei Heng cheerfully threw the note aside and walked towards her gaze.
"You've got the draw!"
"Go quickly, it's a rare opportunity. If you go late, you won't have a good location."
He took the lantern in her hand and looked at it again: "Mo'er, it's not that I'm boasting, my skills are really good."
After his words, Mo'er felt even more ashamed.
He blushed and said, "If you don't go, I won't go!"
From the moment he opened the note, Mo'er's eyes kept following him. Seeing that he threw it away, he knew it. He didn't get any note that could be taken out.
She suddenly felt indifference. The lantern festival she had been looking forward to for a long time could not make her excited. She refused to admit it, but at this moment, her true thoughts could not deceive people.
Her concern for Pei Heng has long exceeded that of ordinary friends, and many things have changed unknowingly.
"How can you two not go? The lanterns are ready and the beauty is also made, right!"
The one who came here to joke was a young guard named Qin Wushuang. He was the least experienced and the youngest among the guards of the East Palace. He is only seventeen years old now.
In the entire guard, he was eloquent and could make fun of anything he caught. This time he came to Pei Heng again, and it was like this kind of playful words.
"Don't make fun of Mo'er's wife, do whatever you should do!"
The little guard tilted his lips and sneered, "Oh, I've been maintained before I even crossed the door?"
"Pei Jun, I used to see that you were not such an impulsive person. Why? My sister-in-law couldn't say it."
Mo'er's face turned redder, but she couldn't refute. She twisted her sleeves anxiously, and Pei Heng also burst into anger. Just as the scene was about to get out of control, Qin Wushuang took out a small note, and a big ink mark was crossing the bar.
"Take it, use mine, and make sure you can go out."
He stuffed the note into Pei Heng's hand, and Pei then realized what he had come over and asked for trouble. He felt a little ashamed.
"There is no need. Whoever draws it will belong to it. Besides, who doesn't want to go to see the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, you should keep it yourself."
"That's right, you're young, go and have fun." Mo'er also said.
Qin Wushuang grinned, his eyes full of cunning. Pei Heng felt that he was going to talk nonsense again.
Before he could stop him, he heard him say, "Miss Mo'er, Brother Pei didn't draw, so he didn't go there. I see, you obviously got hit, why are you still here? Other ladies have already gone to wash and dress up. If you don't act, it will be too late."
He said, his flexible eyes turned around on the two of them from time to time, making them embarrassed.
To achieve the goal, Qin Wushuang put his hands on his hips and was very arrogant.
"Don't pretend, I've seen it long ago. This lantern was made by Brother Pei. I'm not going with him. I'm young and naked. Even if I go out on the street, no one will accompany me to watch the lanterns. If you two don't go, be careful that I will change my mind."
Since it was someone else's wish, there was nothing else to say, so I had to help him.
The Shangyuan Lantern Festival can be said to be the most lively festival of the year. It extends to the east and west streets with lanterns everywhere. Girls and young men carry their own lanterns on the street, and they can also hang them on the crossbar for people to appreciate.
This lantern is also to get a good start. Many lanterns contain riddles, waiting for the destined person to crack it.
The lanterns are all public, all kinds of, and they compete for beauty. There is a conventional competition on this day.
On this day, the people who went out to the street would have a small flower tag in their hands, which was similar in size, and this flower tag was of great use.
When night falls and the lanterns are gradually lit, the flower signs come in handy. Young and old people hold the flower signs on the street. When they see beautiful lanterns, they stick the flower signs onto the lamp.
