The south gate of the capital.
Qi Yun, Qi Ya, the Queen...more than a dozen of them are standing under the lanterns outside the city gate, waiting eagerly.
While talking, he looked into the city gate from time to time, waiting for the arrival of Young Master Liu.
All the beauties looked extremely resentful, complaining in their hearts that their husbands were really unreliable.
We agreed to go out together, but why did they 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 small 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 there were more than a dozen gathered outside the city gate, naturally attracting the attention of a large number of passers-by.
Although Qi Yun and the others noticed 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 fifteenth 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 apologize for keeping you waiting for so long.
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 and playing, 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 state capitals.
For example, the Qinhuai River in the south of the Yangtze River has not been back for so long. Today's Jinling should be more prosperous than before.
For Young Master Liu, although he had a clear conscience about rebelling and proclaiming himself emperor, the improper access to the throne was a sensitive topic after all.
Regarding the identity of a traitor and traitor who seeks power and usurps the throne, it is impossible for Young Master Liu not to be dissatisfied, 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.
What if he is forced to death and forced to change? After all, it can't stop the people all over the world from talking, and it can't stop the spread of unofficial history.
And doing so also feels like trying to hide something.
I don’t know how to do it, and I don’t even bother to do it!
For the sake of reputation for future generations, I can't do such unscrupulous and unnatural acts as the Qing Dynasty did, like the Daxing Literary Prison.
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 am now able to govern the world fairly well, and that is 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!"
The wandering Young Master Liu was awakened by the sound of laughter from all the beauties, and subconsciously looked forward.
Liu Mingzhi was also shocked when he saw several wide passages along the Qingling River that stretched for several miles and were completely made of various lanterns.
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 all kinds of 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. You must guess the lantern riddle..."
When a group of beauties were surrounding Young Master Liu and asking their men to guess lantern riddles and win prizes, a soft whisper sounded from the side.
"Liu...brother-in-law, you...are you here to attend 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. The beauties also looked to the side with surprised expressions, not knowing who they met.
"Emperor...sister-in-law? My younger brother Liu Mingzhi has met my eldest and second sister-in-law.
The two sisters-in-law are well, and the little brother is polite! "
In addition to the three princesses, the empress, and the Huyan Yunyao sisters, the girls saw Chen Jie, who was wearing a pale white gauze skirt, and Chen Jie, who was wearing an apricot brocade dress. The He Shu sisters 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."
"Thank you, Mrs. Sister-in-law."
After the girls stood up, they looked at the two sisters Chen Jie who looked cautious, 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. For a while, they really 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, second 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 evasive eyes, and nodded silently: "The Ai family...my sister and I have stayed in the house 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!"
After 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 Wanyuan sisters, Young Master Liu scratched his head and looked around, pretending to admire the lanterns around him, nodding and commenting from time to time.
"Yeah! This light is nice."
"This one is great, it's simply delicious and delicious...the colors are bright and unique!"
"This is not bad. It looks like it was made by a clever girl. The petals are just like the real ones..."
"Husband!"
"Ah? Ah! Yan'er, what's wrong?"
