Chapter 225 Setting off fireworks

Even if Empress Changsun didn't say anything, Li Er had almost forgotten about it. It seemed that Li Feng had said that the fireworks would be most beautiful when set off at night, as they would be more dazzling than the stars in the sky.

"Guanyin Maid, you seem to have had these fireworks in your hand for a while, can they still be used?" Li Er asked.

Empress Changsun shook her head and said, "I don't know about this concubine, but we can give it a try."

"That's fine."

The sky was getting dark, and twinkling stars slowly appeared in the sky.

In Feixiang Hall, Li Er and Changsun had already had their dinner, and they were playing chess and waiting for dark.

It wasn't until it was completely dark that a palace maid came to report: "Your Majesty, Madam, the sky is completely dark."

"Oh, it's getting dark so soon. I'm with Guanyin, why does time always pass so fast?" Li Shifen said angrily.

Empress Changsun was not in a very good mood because of Li Chengqian's relationship. After listening to Li Er's words, she couldn't help but feel happy again.

She glanced at Li Er with her charming eyes and said, "We are an old couple now. I am afraid that my second brother will no longer want to be my concubine because of my old age and beauty."

"If this is where you are, you know me. You are the only woman in my heart, and the others are just my show." Li Er hurriedly explained.

If it were other women, Li Er might scold her with a straight face, but when facing his eldest grandson, Li Er would give a good explanation.

"Pfft." Changsun laughed, "I was just joking with my second brother. I know that my second brother has my concubine in his heart. That's enough."

"There is only one woman in my heart, Guanyin," Li Er immediately added.

The eldest grandson was in a good mood and said: "Okay, I believe in my second brother, let's go set off the fireworks now."

"Okay." Li Er nodded and immediately ordered the maids to make arrangements, "Let Xia Zhu get ready."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The palace maid hurriedly walked outside the palace, "Aunt Xia, Your Majesty asked you to get ready."

Xia Zhu nodded and said: "I understand, you can go down."

"Yes." The palace maid retreated not far away and stood obediently.

Li Er held Changsun's hand and slowly walked out of the hall. He saw Xia Zhu standing next to a bamboo tube holding a torch.

This bamboo tube is the fireworks that Li Feng gave to his eldest grandson.

Xia Zhu had already placed the bamboo tube on the ground according to the method Li Feng had said, and was just waiting for Li Er's order to light it.

Seeing that everything was ready, Li Er ordered: "Light the fire."

"Yes." Xia Zhu responded, then took a torch and lit the fuse, then ran away to protect Li Er and Changsun.

The sparks on the leads among the people quickly disappeared into the bamboo tube.

"boom."

"call out."

"boom."

A slight explosion sounded from the bamboo tube, followed by a sound like a flying arrow piercing the air, followed by a spark.

The sparks flew into the air and exploded, and the flames suddenly shot out in all directions, like a flower composed of countless stars appearing in the sky and illuminating the place below, but it passed away in a flash.

Just when everyone was regretting that the flower disappeared so quickly, another explosion occurred in the bamboo tube, and then a spark flew into the air, then exploded to form a huge flame flower, and finally disappeared.

After disappearing, the bamboo tube made a sound again. After five consecutive times, thick smoke began to rise from the top of the bamboo tube.

Xia Zhu immediately reported: "Your Majesty, Madam, the fireworks have been set off."

"It's such a pity that it's over so soon." Zhangsun was a little disappointed.

"Guanyin Maid, if you want to see it, ask Li Feng to do more. We can do it on New Year's Eve, and I'm afraid it will be the same on the second day of the Lunar New Year. You might as well wait." Li Er said.

Changsun nodded slightly and said, "That's all we can do."

At this time, groups of forbidden troops came to Feixiang Hall with weapons in hand, and the leader was Zhang Gongjin.

"Your Majesty, is there a thief?" Zhang Gongjin saw that Li Er and Changsun were standing peacefully, and knew that he had made a fuss, so he had no choice but to step forward and ask.

Li Er waved his hands and said, "It's my fault for making Zhang Qing worried. The queen and I were just setting off fireworks."

Zhang Gongjin said: "Your Majesty and the Queen are fine. I am afraid that the escort will be late. The fireworks just reminded me of the flying crows, which really scares me."

"Haha, these fireworks were also invented by Li Feng. They are for viewing. As for the sacred fire and flying crows, they are weapons, weapons for attacking cities and territories. The two are not the same."

"I know now. Since your Majesty and the empress are fine, I will leave."

"Well, go ahead and tell everyone in the palace that the Queen and I are setting off fireworks, so there is no need to make a fuss." Li Er ordered.

"Yes. Weichen will make arrangements now."

"Go to the Emperor's place first. I'm afraid of disturbing the Emperor's sleep."

"Yes, I will go to Tai Chi Palace to meet the Supreme Emperor in person."

"Okay, the queen and I are going to bed. Everyone, please step aside."

"Yes. I will retire."

Under the leadership of Zhang Gongjin, a group of marchers left Feixiang Hall in an orderly manner.

Soon after, all the palaces that had been a bit noisy because of the fireworks became quiet.

But everyone was cursing Li Feng for inventing such a scary thing as fireworks.

The Supreme Emperor Li Yuan also scolded Li Feng in his palace.

Some people in the palace scolded Li Feng, and some outside the palace also scolded Li Feng.

It turned out that Zhang Gongjin was quite attentive, so Li Er only asked him to explain things in various palaces in the palace, but he also sent people outside the palace to explain things to the people in Chang'an.

The beautiful scenery of the fireworks in the sky also attracted the attention of the entire Chang'an people, not to mention that the incident happened in the palace.

Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin and other ministers had already dressed and went to the palace to see Li Er. Like Zhang Gongjin, they were afraid that something would happen to Li Er.

However, just as they were about to go out, they heard someone beating gongs and drums on the street, telling everyone not to worry, it was the emperor and empress setting off fireworks.

Many people went out to ask questions and finally learned that Li Feng invented the fireworks. They all started to scold Li Feng for disturbing people's dreams.

On the second floor of the Zhuangyuan Building, Li Feng watched the fireworks appear in the sky above the palace. He couldn't help but frown slightly. What was going on? If the fireworks were not given to his adoptive mother, how could they appear in the palace?

At Yan Liben's house, Yan Shuyi and his family were amazed when they saw the fireworks at first. Then they learned that they appeared in the palace. Yan Liben changed his clothes and was about to go out.

But I heard that Li Er and the others were fine, they were just setting off fireworks. When I asked about it, it turned out to be Li Feng who invented it.

Yan's mother couldn't sit still. This was invented by her future son-in-law. How could she have less of it? So she instigated Yan Shuyi to find Li Feng and asked Li Feng to send some fireworks.
