Chapter 178: Be yourself

By the time of the night banquet, the lanterns in Chang'an City had already started to light up, and it was a bustling scene. The palace people in the Li Zheng Palace also put on brand-new clothes and coats at this moment, and stayed in the corridor with joy, looking at the snowflakes rustling down in the dark night.

There are also brightly lit pavilions and towers in the distance.

There was silence in the hall at the moment. A thin figure stood silently in front of a half-closed lattice window, watching the cold moonlight outside the window falling on the tile eaves in front of the hall and gradually condensing into patches of white frost.

Although Empress Yang is now out of her infancy, she should attend tonight's banquet at Huaxe Xianghui Tower. However, since Empress Yang has already resigned from Emperor Yuan Cheng on the grounds of recuperation, she proposed that Concubine Shu, Shangguan, host the banquet.

Although Emperor Yuan Cheng was worried, he also knew that Queen Yang must still be sad for Fang's recently lost child, so he did not press for it.

"Your Highness, why are you standing here? Don't let the wind outside soak your head——"

Jiamo walked in from outside and looked at this scene. He immediately quickened his steps nervously, closed the window, and carefully helped Queen Yang sit back on the soft couch.

Everyone thought that Queen Yang did not attend the New Year's Eve banquet because of her child who died at birth, but Jiamo knew that Queen Yang just wanted to leave that place full of hypocrisy, and she didn't know how to smile.

It’s just a matter of facing Taiwei Yang and the Yang family.

Queen Yang smiled when she heard this, but did not say anything. She just sat back down with Jiamo's support, and opened the book at hand as usual. She seemed to be reading the words on it, but in fact she didn't read anything.

Go in.

"Has the banquet started over there?"

"here we go."

Jiamo nodded when he heard the sound, scooped out the prepared tonic soup and presented it to Queen Yang, saying: "Your Highness, please don't worry."

Empress Yang nodded and took the steaming tonic soup. Although she frowned instinctively, she drank it bit by bit without hesitation.

She knew that for Ayu and the future, she had to work hard to take good care of her body and live hard.

Jiamo looked at Queen Yang who was silent and thought that tonight was supposed to be a lively New Year's Eve. She felt a little sour in her heart and couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, the princess wanted to stay with you tonight to watch the New Year's Eve."

, how about I go and invite the princess to come back, and we can also have a lot of fun ourselves——"

Hearing Jiamo's words, Empress Yang shook her head and said: "Ahman has worked hard for me these days. Today is the reunion night. Ahman can spend more time with his uncle at the banquet and share the family relationship, so don't go

It’s disturbing them, not to mention——”

Empress Yang smiled and rolled up the book, looked up at Jiamo beside her and said: "Now that Ah Man is engaged, she will be the future Princess Yuling. When she has her own home in the future, Ah Man will have more things to worry about.

, I can’t just tie her up like this and let her stay with me for the rest of my life. She should also have her own life, and she shouldn’t be dragged down by others’ dependence on her - "

"Your Highness——"

Hearing Queen Yang's words, Jia Mo felt even more lonely and desolate. He held back the bursts of sourness and interrupted Queen Yang's words. Seeing this, Queen Yang looked at Jia Mo, who had lowered her eyes and tried to suppress her emotions.

Mo Dao: "Okay, I just want to say a few words. Why are you acting like this again? You were not so easy to cry in the past. Today is New Year's Eve. If Gong'e next to her sees this, it will not be like Shang Gong's actions.

Sent."

Hearing Queen Yang's words, Jiamo lowered his head lower, not daring to let Queen Yang see him wiping away tears. He had no choice but to hold back his tears. When he raised his head, he met Queen Yang's relaxed and joking smile, which was rare.

He usually looked serious and mature, but he smiled and retorted: "Today is a happy day, how can I cry? The dinner in the small kitchen is on the table, waiting for you to try it."

"Okay, let's go -"

While she was talking, Queen Yang had already been helped up by Jiamo and was walking towards the soft curtain. As soon as she opened it and stepped out, she heard the laughter and surprise of the little maids outside the palace.

"Those children are getting more and more unruly. Please go and take a look."

Seeing that Jiamo was about to walk out, Queen Yang smiled and raised her hand to hold Jiamo's hand to stop him. Her smile seemed to make her mood much better.

"Tonight is New Year's Eve. It's only this time when a child turns one year old. Children always have joy, so don't be too harsh on me."

After saying that, Queen Yang walked towards the bustling hall and said, "Let's go and join in the fun. I'm not hungry now."

Jiamo saw that Queen Yang was rarely interested at this moment, so he stopped talking and stepped forward happily to help Queen Yang go out.

The further we walked toward the outside of the palace, the louder and louder the noise and laughter from her daughter's house became. As soon as the palace maid opened the soft curtain, Empress Yang held Jiamo's hand and walked out of the palace. She was stunned by the scene in front of her.

Under the bright lights, she saw the white snow falling in the night sky like stars, swirling leisurely and covering the sky and the earth. And in this piece of silver, she actually saw clusters of snow.

Clusters of hibiscus flowers, like the blushing dimples of a drunken girl, cover every tree and flower branch in front of the palace.

In the night wind, Queen Yang saw a girl wearing a gorilla felt cloak and a hood among the swaying hibiscus trees. The girl was lightly powdered, with apricot faces and peach cheeks. She was twisting a lit incense stick at the moment.

Squatting in front of the fireworks display in front of the hall, eager to try it.

"Aman?"

Hearing the familiar and gentle voice, Li Sui turned his head and saw Empress Yang, wrapped in a cloak and wearing a Zhaojun suit, standing in the dim light. Her smiling face was full of surprise and emotion, and a pair of watery eyes concealed

The unstoppable starlight.

"Sister!"

Li Sui in front of the palace smiled and waved to Queen Yang, and then quickly put the incense stick on the fire guide. The moment the sparks touched, it swallowed up the fire guide bit by bit. Under Queen Yang's careful call, Li Sui

He was already running towards the corridor with a smile, and held Queen Yang's hand happily. The next moment, there was only a "crack -" sound, and the bright fireworks "popped" and bloomed to the extreme, illuminating the sisters in front of the palace.

Two longing smiles.

At the same time, Nian Nu, who had already ordered the little chamberlain to stay under the "Hibiscus Flower" tree, lit several small fireworks tubes placed beside the tree. In an instant, the front of the palace was illuminated by dazzling fireworks like daytime, and the bright red flower trees,

This moment was covered with starlight like a flowing gauze. At this moment, Empress Yang seemed to see the most beautiful fireworks in the world that even poets could not compare with words.

Under the flickering fireworks, amidst the excited laughter of the palace ladies, Queen Yang looked sideways at her sister who was looking up at the night sky, smiling and pointing to each of the blooming fireworks. Only then did she suddenly realize that she seemed to be involuntarily.

She has forgotten everything. At this moment, she just wants to keep everything in front of her, and this time that belongs to her and Aman, without false feelings, without bloody competition, how wonderful it would be to stop forever.

"You are the only one who dares to set off fireworks in the Li Zheng Palace. After a while, my mother-in-law will definitely accuse you when she finds out."

Hearing Queen Yang's half helpless and half doting words, Li Sui smiled and rested his head on Queen Yang's shoulder. Under the twinkling stars, the girl's eyes were filled with a sense of freedom and wantonness that had not been seen in a long time.

"Everything has been done, but by the time they arrive it will be too late——"

As she spoke, seeing the fireworks in front of her eyes gradually extinguished, Queen Yang was pulled down the steps by Li Sui beside her.

"Sister, hurry up, let's light up all these fireworks before our aunt and the others come -"

Under the warm light, a sly smile appeared on the girl's dimples. At this moment, she raised the lit incense in her hand and handed one over to her.

As if being touched by this bright and bright smile, Queen Yang suddenly felt a strong thought in her heart. Such a strong feeling was like a suppressed fire that was about to break out of her heart at any time and obtain.

Rebirth.

She knew that it was herself, that was her former self.

Facing Li Sui's long smile, Queen Yang saw Jiamo who wanted to dissuade him, but was pulled by Nian Nu instead, and was gradually persuaded.

When the last firework bloomed and gradually disappeared into the night sky, there was a brief silence, but Queen Yang took it with a smile.

In the first half of her life, she seemed to be working hard for others, trying hard to be the eldest daughter of the Yang family, the princess of Chen Xuan, and the queen of Dazhou. But along the way, looking back, she slowly realized that she worked hard to become

The person you should be in the eyes of others, but you have forgotten how to be yourself.

Regardless of status or position, they are just heavy shackles for her at this moment. At this moment, she wants to be wild and be the carefree herself who lives for no one again.

Under the starry night, the maids gradually opened their eyes, because they had never seen His Highness like this before. He no longer smiled and every move was full of propriety, and he seemed to be walking like a book.

Your Highness, who recounts the virtues of a virtuous queen.

When Emperor Yuan Cheng came nervously following the sound, he saw the same scene. The woman who always called him "Silang" tenderly, whose behavior was a model of the Sixth Palace, and who set an example for women in the world, revealed that he had never

The way I have seen it.

Surrounded by the palace people, he smiled like a flower and cut his pupils like water, and lit up fireworks one after another wantonly. His cheerful appearance may be contrary to the strict and condescending palace rules and etiquette, but it was deeply imprinted on him.

In his heart, he will never forget it in this life.

Perhaps, she was originally a swan goose in the sky or a flying crane in the fertile fields, but she was willing to be imprisoned in the four directions for him. She was imprisoned by the world and him to become a virtuous queen, but she lost her former self.

"Tell everyone who came with you to leave. Just say that Princess Yongning secretly set off fireworks in the palace to make the queen happy. I will talk to her and let Concubine Shu watch the banquet. I won't go."

After hearing Emperor Yuan Cheng's order, Chengde beside him took a careful look at Queen Yang who was setting off fireworks with Princess Yongning. Although he was surprised, he still lowered his head in response, with a smile that could not be concealed in his eyes.
