Another year is approaching, the first snow has just fallen in Luoyang, and it is already completely white.
Auspicious snow heralds a good harvest, which is a good omen.
In addition, the emperor was pacifying the Puppet Liang Dynasty and defeating the Jin Dynasty in the north. He once again exempted the Central Plains from taxes for one year. The people have already united and the world has returned to its heart.
The whole country is immersed in joy, let alone the people in the capital. Luoyang City is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and everyone is having fun.
Although the New Year has not yet arrived, the sounds of firecrackers and fireworks have already been heard in the streets and alleys. The children cheered and cheered among them. Even some of them covered their ears and dared not come near, but their faces turned red and they cheered loudly.
Under the heaven and earth, it seems that everyone is immersed in joy, beaming with joy, and congratulating each other.
Only among the red walls and white tiles in Ziwei Palace, one person stood on the railing and sighed.
She has grown a lot taller than last year, and her figure is also thinner. The slender waist is not too slim to hold, but the cheeks are more beautiful.
She wears a purple fairy skirt with a waist tied around her waist, and a purple silk ribbon around her waist. The silver bell necklace she wears around her neck just sits on her increasingly slender breasts, reflecting the bright light.
When a girl begins to grow up, she is no longer the innocent little girl she was before...
"well!"
The girl sighed deeply, holding her chin in her hand, looking aimlessly at the goose feather snowflakes falling down, spreading on the yellow tiles of the palace wall, and then covering up the last bright yellow, turning it completely white.
"well!"
Chi Meng sighed again. He was already tired of seeing the snowy sky that he had never seen before in Miao territory. He frowned and sighed.
"Big double, double double, has Bago come back...
I'm so bored! "
Under the eaves of the corridor behind her, there were about a dozen palace ladies waiting with their heads down. The two chubby little girls among them were stunned for a moment, and then they said in unison: "Empress De Fei went hunting in the morning, and she hasn't returned yet."
Chi Meng had a sad face. She only slept for a little while in the morning, but Bago actually abandoned her and went hunting outside the city alone.
She was asked to leave a message saying that she should bring back the most beautiful sika deer.
There is no sense of accomplishment like catching it with your own hands!
Chi Meng was not happy. He lifted the snow with one foot and sighed again.
She counted with her hands, and it was already one hundred and thirty-eight days since Li Jing went out to fight.
She received the good news half a month ago, but she hasn't heard any more news until now.
hateful! How abominable!
Chi Meng was filled with anger when she thought that Li Jing would not allow her to go out with the army.
This saint is going to pack up and go back to Miao territory!
"Mother, I heard that a new shop has opened outside the city. How about we stop sneaking out..."
Da Shuang's voice came from behind, but Chi Meng only had a rare straight face and said angrily: "No! Go!"
As she spoke, she pointed at the maids behind the two little girls and spoke decisively.
"Go and pack some soft things for me, and then pack my old clothes."
"yes……"
Although no one knew what Chi dreamed of doing, as Li Jing's most beloved concubine, her prestige in the palace had always been unquestionable. Even if she wanted to pack her bags and travel around the world, these maids could only do as she was told.
"Empress! Empress!"
Just as everyone was leaving, a voice of joy came from outside the palace gate corridor. Looking over, I saw a red-faced palace maid running anxiously against the heavy snow. Although her head and shoulders were covered with snow, her enthusiasm could not be concealed.
"Oh, I won't hold an umbrella either!"
Chi Meng was so surprised that she forgot to ask what made her so happy, and quickly asked someone to pat the snow off her body.
But the palace maid looked excited and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty! The Holy Emperor has sent news that King Huanhuan's Master has arrived at Guancheng Post. The road is blocked for one night due to snow. We will arrive at the Imperial Capital tomorrow morning!"
Chi Meng was still patting the clothes of this intimate palace maid with her own hands. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up with joy, and he subconsciously wanted to cheer.
"Great…"
The maids behind her were overjoyed, but some still reminded her to ask questions.
"Now that the Holy Emperor is back, do you still need to pack your baggage..."
Chi Meng's expression froze, and then he became a little embarrassed. Finally, his face was straightened and he said seriously: "Why don't you clean it up! Go right away, don't waste your time!"
The maids suppressed smiles on their faces, but they just said "Hey" and were about to disperse.
But after a breath, a weak voice came.
"Forget it... let's forgive him this time...
Don't be stunned either! Go, go, find the new skirt I made last month, I want to try it on! "
…………
As the New Year approaches, the hundreds of thousands of people in Luoyang are naturally a little busy. They buy New Year's goods and replenish supplies, and they have to walk around the streets and praise each other. No one knows how much conversation there is during this period.
Starting yesterday, both the world situation and the wild interests of the people have all changed into one thing.
The emperor's personal army had returned in triumph and was stationed in the camp outside the city. On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the emperor personally led the royal army to enter the cauldron gate and allowed the people to watch along the street to see the victory of the army.
After the victory was over, the emperor led hundreds of officials to visit the Ancestral Temple to offer sacrifices to the late emperor. At that time, all civil and military officials will receive rewards, and elderly people in the city who are sixty and above will also receive gifts. Then it’s New Year’s Eve, the Lantern Festival, and all the people rejoice together!
Think about it, what kind of excitement is this? The Liang Dynasty was successfully destroyed, the Jin army was defeated, and in the fifty years since the Tang Dynasty, the central government had such great achievements.
Moreover, the emperor personally asked thousands of troops to enter the cauldron gate. How many people in Luoyang wanted to see the holy face and the loyal soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were excited. And I heard that several princes in the south, including the princes of Shu, Chu, Wu and others, are also coming to the capital to offer their congratulations.
Therefore, during these two days, the officials in the capital were busy and the sky was dark, and the people in the capital were also in a high mood. While they were setting up tables and talking, the name of the saint was directly following Taizong.
Until the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, people helped the old and the young. Before dawn, both sides of Luoyang Tianjie were already crowded with people, squeezing each other. The window seats in the pavilions on both sides were all sold out. Bit. But even so, those who buy at high prices are like carps crossing the river.
According to official news, Master Wang entered through the Ding Gate and then walked along Tianjie to the Xuanwu Gate of the Imperial City. After the emperor worshiped heaven and earth at Xuanwu Gate, the military parade began.
Therefore, the closer you are to the imperial city, the higher the street frontage and the better the viewing angle will be, the more expensive it will be.
There were also guards wearing flying fish everywhere on the street standing facing the street, blocking the waves of people behind them so that the emperor's vehicle would not be hindered in the slightest.
Therefore, there were few troublemakers disrupting order in front of the Jinyi Guards, whose fangs were beginning to show.
No more words were said during this period, because amid the roar of people, the Dingding Gate finally slowly opened.
After a while, a figure on horseback in purple clothes and gold armor finally entered slowly.
He is tall and tall, with a handsome and gentle face. Under the control of the black divine horse under the crotch, it first turned left and right in a circle, and finally stopped with its head raised.
The shouts of people that were originally boiling gradually stopped at this moment. Everyone put their feet up and raised their heads, eyes wide open, scrambling to look at this figure who looked like a god.
After a breath, the golden-armored figure pulled out the long knife from his waist, then tilted it up and made a solemn sound.
"The Tang Dynasty is mighty!"
While the sound was still echoing, within a few feet of the doorway behind him, countless flags flew out. The torrent of iron armor is also rolling in.
There was a sudden silence between heaven and earth, and then there was a wave of louder calls.
"The Tang Dynasty is mighty!"
"Long live my emperor!"
