Qi Yun, Qi Ya, the Queen, and more than a dozen pretty beauties were standing under the lanterns outside the city gate, waiting eagerly.
While talking, he looked into the city gate from time to time, waiting for Mr. Liu's arrival.
All the beauties had extremely resentful expressions on their faces, 'complaining' in their hearts that their husbands were really unreliable.
We agreed to go out together, but why did we disappear in the blink of an eye?
He also asked the good sisters to meet at the city gate politely, but no one has been seen for two quarters of an hour. What trivial matter can delay it for so long?
It is not easy to see any of these charming beauties like the Qi Yun girls on weekdays. Suddenly, more than a dozen of them appeared outside the city gate, naturally attracting the attention of a large number of passers-by.
Although Qi Yun and the others were aware of the stunning looks that fell on their sisters, they didn't say anything.
I can only pretend not to see it and wait for my husband's arrival without any distractions.
After about a stick of incense, Mr. Liu finally arrived late.
Under the angry and surprised gazes of the girls, Young Master Liu walked carelessly towards the outside of the city, waving his folding fan while looking at the streets decorated with lights on both sides.
This battle is no less impressive than the Lantern Festival held on the 15th day of the first lunar month.
"Husband, you are finally here. What have you been doing?"
"Yes, yes, if you don't come, the sisters will all plan to go to the lantern festival by themselves."
"That's right, we agreed to go to the lantern festival together, but they disappeared in the blink of an eye. Did they go to a private meeting outside?"
"It must be, otherwise"
Faced with the condemnation of many beauties, Young Master Liu happily put away his folding fan and smashed his palms a few times: "It's just a small thing, I just stopped by to do something small.
Ladies, I have kept you waiting for so long. I apologize to you for my husband.
Let’s go for a walk, let’s go to the lantern festival by the Qingling River and see how this year’s lanterns look like.”
The girls immediately put away their resentful expressions, surrounded Young Master Liu with expectant looks, and rushed eagerly towards the Qingling River in the south of the city.
Scanning the people passing by on the official road leading to Qingling River, and the chirping children chasing each other, the joy in Liu Mingzhi's eyes was self-evident.
Nowadays, the life of the people in the capital can indeed be called peaceful and peaceful, but I don’t know what the situation is like in other prefectures.
For example, the Qinhuai River in the south of the Yangtze River has not been back for so long. Jinling today should be more prosperous than before.
For Young Master Liu, although he had a clear conscience in rebelling and proclaiming himself emperor, the improper position was still a sensitive topic.
Regarding the identity of a rebellious minister and traitor who seeks power and usurps the throne, it is impossible for Young Master Liu to say anything in his heart, but he has nothing to say, because it is a fact that he rebelled and seized the throne.
A fact that no one can hide.
If his methods were more ruthless, he might have tampered with the evaluation in the history books, but that was just a possibility.
That old guy Xia Gongming has a bad temper.
Asking him, a royal censor, to revise history books is tantamount to wishful thinking.
Even if he is forced to death and forced to change, what will happen? After all, it cannot stop the public opinion of the people in the world, and it cannot stop the spread of unofficial history.
And doing so also feels like trying to hide something.
I don’t know how to do this, and I don’t even bother to do it!
I can't do the unscrupulous and unnatural act of Daxing Literary Prison just like the Qing Dynasty for the sake of my reputation for future generations.
Now that I see the people living and working in peace and contentment, the little thorn in my heart has finally been smoothed away.
If Li Ye was still in power after unifying the world, he might, might manage the world better than himself, but he would not have this opportunity to compare with himself.
At the very least, I can now govern the world fairly well, and that's enough.
For the rest, let justice take its own course!
"Wow, husband, look, that dragon lantern is so beautifully tied."
"Those gauze lanterns and flower basket lanterns are also good. It seems that Xia Shoufu has put a lot of thought into making the people celebrate the festival happily."
"The angular lanterns, mandarin duck lanterns and lotus lanterns made by the people themselves are also good!"
Young Master Liu, who was wandering in his thoughts, was awakened by the sound of laughter from all the beauties, and subconsciously looked forward.
When he saw several wide passages along the Qingling River that stretched for several miles and were completely built with various lanterns, Liu Mingzhi was also shocked.
The lantern festival by the Qingling River in front of me is much more magnificent than the lantern festival by the Qinhuai River that I visited in Jinling many years ago.
This kind of grand scene cannot be compared with that of later generations.
Even though there are various technologies, thousands of lights, and feasting, the spiritual feeling is completely different.
"Husband, let's go and guess lantern riddles quickly. I want that lotus lantern."
"I want that eight-treasure lamp."
"I want that gauze lantern, and you have to guess the lantern riddle."
When a group of beauties were surrounding Young Master Liu and asking their husbands to guess lantern riddles and win prizes, a soft whisper sounded from the side.
"Brother-in-law Liu, are you here to visit the lantern festival too?"
There was an unnatural flicker in Young Master Liu's eyes, and he looked to the side pretending to be confused. All the beauties also looked to the side with surprised expressions, not knowing who they met.
"Emperor's sister-in-law? My younger brother Liu Mingzhi has met the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law.
The two sisters-in-law are well, and the little brother is polite!"
In addition to the three princesses, the queen, and sisters Huyan Yunyao, the girls saw Chen Jie, who was wearing a pale white gauze skirt, and Chen Jie, who was wearing an apricot brocade dress. The two sisters He Shu were stunned for a moment instinctively, and their eyes
With a hint of surprise.
Some were curious about the identities of the two women, and some were curious that the two women, who had been staying at home since their husband became emperor, actually went out.
After hearing Young Master Liu's greetings, the girls also reacted and bowed to the two girls.
"My sisters and I have met the two sisters-in-law. My sister-in-law is fine."
Sisters Chen Jie and He Shu waved their hands in uneasy expressions: "No gifts, no gifts. We are all tourists, so there is no need to be so polite."
"We sisters do not deserve such a great gift."
"Mrs. Xie."
After the girls stood up, they looked at the two sisters Chen Jie who looked very reserved, and glanced at their husband. No one knew what to say next.
After all, the relationship between my husband and the Li family clan members has always been estranged because of that chair. They met by chance on the street. When they met at first sight, they were unprepared and didn't know how to communicate next.
.
It was the third princess who reacted first, and hurriedly walked towards the two sisters Chen Jie, looking at the two girls with a look of guilt and joy in her phoenix eyes.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, Yan'er is really happy to see you guys able to go out and relax."
Chen Jie glanced at Young Master Liu with her beautiful eyes, and nodded silently: "My sister and I have stayed in the Ai family for too long, and we have almost forgotten what it is like in the capital.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I heard the bustle of people outside the courtyard wall and went out for a walk. I didn’t expect to run into you."
He Shu intertwined his slender jade fingers and nodded in agreement: "Yes, what a coincidence. At first, my sister and I thought we had seen it wrong!"
Hearing the words of the two women, the Queen and Qi Ya's beautiful eyes were thoughtful, and they glanced at Young Master Liu in the middle.
Is it really a coincidence?
Sensing the "sharp" gazes of Sister Ya and Wanyan, Young Master Liu scratched his head and looked around, pretending to admire the lanterns around him, nodding and commenting from time to time.
"Hmm! This lamp is good."
“This one is great, it’s delicious, delicious, colorful and unique!”
"This is not bad. It looks like it was made by a girl with ingenuity. The petals are just like the real ones..."
