The woman personally selected a fox mask that was exactly the same as Li Sixu's and put it on the girl.
The girl was still excitedly asking her mother if she looked good in a fox mask. Suddenly, the crowd of people enjoying the lanterns and singing came in like a tide, pushing Li Sixu away from Li Linhuai who was standing next to the girl. The location is very far.
Blocked by the tall woman in front of her, Li Sixu stuck her head out to squeeze back towards Li Linhuai. A burst of fragrance hit her, and a thick palm grabbed her and drowned her in the crowd.
At the same time, Li Linhuai's hand was held by a girl wearing a fox mask...
From the top of the tower, you have a sweeping view!
Xuanzong took the queen's hand and climbed to the attic where he could enjoy the lanterns. Tonight, the lights of Chang'an City were bright, and as far as he could see, it was a prosperous scene.
Chang'an City, decorated with lights, is like the vast and bright night sky, full of twinkling stars. Countless stars embellish it, making Chang'an City's glory tonight.
In such a grand scene, it is a pity that his tenth princess is not around. This is Xuanzong's greatest regret.
He looked sideways at Queen Wang: "Why did the Queen agree to Xiaoshi leaving the palace around the Lantern Festival to go to Yuzhen Temple?"
"Is the Emperor regretting that Xiao Shi can't climb up to admire the lanterns and see how prosperous the Tang Dynasty was?"
Empress Wang smiled gently: "I just feel that it is good to climb high and look far away to admire the lanterns, but how can it compare to the comfort and ease of swimming in the sea of lanterns."
"Ever since I entered the Daming Palace and became His Majesty's queen, I have always thought about how I quietly slipped out of the palace to accompany His Majesty to enjoy the lantern festival when I was in Luzhou."
Queen Wang sighed: "As the head of the six palaces, I cannot be as free and unrestrained as when I was young, but I hope that Xiao Shi will not leave any regrets in his heart."
Queen Wang turned her head to look at Xuanzong and showed a bright smile: "I agreed to Yu Zhen's request and gave Xiao Shi the opportunity to swim in the bright lights of Chang'an City."
"In this way, when the concubine and the emperor look at the lights, Xiao Shi will be among them."
When Empress Wang said this, Xuanzong remembered that he was still the poor prince who was exiled to Luzhou.
The queen married into the palace at a very young age, and he got along with the queen as if she were his own sister. During the Lantern Festival, he even took her to the Lantern Festival without telling the housekeeper, over the wall.
The two held hands and swam in the sea of lights, and he bought her all kinds of food. One time, he became jealous and bought a scary mask and threw it at her, scaring her to tears.
Thinking of the queen who was the princess at that time, she was a pretty girl who was ignorant and ignorant of the world. When she looked at him, her eyes were as bright as the lights tonight.
The beautiful memories made Xuanzong's lips rise. He turned his head to look at the queen and responded to her.
The two looked at each other, finding memories that were almost gone, and a long-lost feeling rose in each other's eyes.
Xuanzong and Queen Wang looked at each other affectionately, which made Wu Jieyu, who was watching the lantern festival hidden among the concubines, feel unhappy. She thought that the former owner of Daming Palace was the daughter of their Wu family, and she should be the one standing next to Xuanzong. .
She felt extremely unhappy and glanced at Ke'er beside her.
Ke'er understood what Wu Jieyu meant: "Your Majesty, I'm a little anxious and want to clean my hands."
"Go!"
Wu Jieyu warned: "Come back as soon as possible after cleaning your hands."
Shortly after Ke'er left, a round-faced palace maid squeezed in not far from Xuanzong and Queen Wang who were admiring the sea of lanterns, and whispered to Chunxia, who was serving Queen Wang.
"Sister Chunxia, our noble concubine would like to ask you to come over."
Chunxia recognized the round-faced palace maid, although she looked a little unfamiliar, she looked like Yang Guibi from Qingzui Pavilion.
The noble concubine has always been on good terms with her queen, so Chunxia has no doubt about it: "What do you want to say to my concubine?"
"Yes, my concubine wants to tell the queen about the ten princesses, but she can't disturb the emperor and the queen as they watch the lanterns. This matter is quite important, so I asked my sister to come over and say a few words. Bring the message to the Queen!"
Chunxia saw Xuanzong and the empress admiring the lanterns, and the emperor secretly stretched out his hand from under his wide sleeves and held her mother-in-law's hand. At this moment, even Eunuch Gao, who was serving the emperor, retreated with great discernment. I took a step forward and seemed to see nothing.
With her standing here, it's just too much of an eyesore.
It was just a matter of saying a few words. Chunxia nodded and followed the round-faced palace maid.
The night breeze was a bit cold, and the queen's hand under the phoenix robe was suddenly held by a wide and warm palm. She felt her palms were hot. She looked sideways at the emperor's angular face, and the tip of her heart was also burned.
Xuanzong clearly felt the queen looking at him sideways, but he pretended to be serious and stared at the sea of lights under the tower.
However, he held the queen's hand tightly.
When the emperor was still the king of Linzi, he took her quietly out of the palace to enjoy the lanterns. He held her hand tightly like this and said that she was beautiful and must not be targeted by a kidnapper.
With their fingers intertwined and held tightly like this, not only did the Queen's heart feel hot, but the cold wind was blowing on her face, and the sides of her ears were actually a little hot.
"Concubine..."
The queen wanted to say that she would stay with him for the rest of her life, accompany him to witness the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and assist him to become a wise king like Emperor Taizong.
However, when Queen Wang mustered up her courage and was about to reveal her heart, there was a commotion from behind.
Wu Jieyu's personal maid Ke'er screamed and lost her voice: "Sister Chunxia, why did you push my mother-in-law?"
"Come here quickly, it seems that Empress Jieyu got out!"
"Empress Jieyu rolled down the stairs..."
When Xuanzong heard the sudden commotion and Ke'er's panicked scream, he suddenly threw away Queen Wang's hand, pushed through the crowd and rushed towards the place where Wu Jieyu fell.
"Xi'er, my Xi'er..."
The bright lights illuminate Chang'an City like daylight, and many stories are being played out, but there are also dark places that cannot be illuminated by the lights.
For example, Li Sixu woke up from a daze and was imprisoned in a remote courtyard in Chang'an City.
As the lock fell, intermittent sobs came to her ears.
Through the moonlight, which was dimmed by the lights tonight, Li Sixu could vaguely see clearly that the people locked up with her were girls about her age.
Like him, their hands were tied behind their backs with ropes and a rag was stuffed in their mouths.
The cries leaked from the gaps in the rags they stuffed in their mouths. The suppressed sobbing sounds were filled with fear and panic, which sounded eerie.
How desperate must it be to enjoy the lantern festival, but suddenly fall into the hands of thieves?
With so many kidnapped children, it seemed like she must have fallen into a den of thieves!
Li Sixu tried it. The rope was tied around her wrist, but her fingers were still flexible.
