However, no matter how they searched, they could not see the person beating the drum. The sound of the drum seemed to be falling from the sky or coming out of the ground, making it difficult to distinguish.
Such weirdness aroused even Yinzhen's curiosity, and he looked outside the Qianqing Palace. At that time, Nala smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the fireworks have already started. Why don't we go out? This will be okay." See it more clearly."
Yinzhen seemed to have remembered something, put down the teacup in his hand and said, "I remember that this year's fireworks were prepared by the queen. The queen has always been careful and considerate. I believe this year's fireworks will be beautiful."
Nala smiled and said nothing, and only looked at Yinzhen to ask what he meant. The latter stood up directly, and his meaning was self-evident.
Yinzhen stood up, and the rest of the people did not dare to sit down anymore. They followed Yinzhen and Nala to the outside of Qianqing Palace. At that time, the night sky was already dyed extremely bright by fireworks, and the sound of drums was still heard.
"Hey, when did you put up the stage? It wasn't there just now." I don't know who said this, and everyone discovered that there was suddenly a stage as high as one person outside the Chengqian Palace. It was not there when they came in before. Apparently it was set up temporarily during the dinner party.
"What does the queen mean?" Yinzhen asked in surprise, and he was also filled with doubts.
Nala gave a slight bow, and her red and gold-embroidered phoenix-length skirt spread out on the ground like flowers blooming in winter. A slight smile appeared on her delicately made-up face, "Please allow me to keep it a secret until I get married." When the time is right, the emperor will naturally know."
"When did the queen learn to tell the truth?" He said this, but did not ask further. At this time, the ion time was only half a moment. If he didn't ask, the people behind him would not ask more questions, and they would all wait quietly. The moment the answer is revealed.
"What kind of tricks do you think the Queen is playing?" Guarjia followed Ling Ruo at the end and asked Ling Ruo casually. After waiting for a long time, she still didn't answer. When he looked back, he saw her holding a glass of wine. Drink slowly.
"Why are you still drinking? Do you really want to get drunk?" Guarjia took the wine glass distressedly. From just now to now, Ling Ruo has been drinking. As for the food, she has never even taken a bite. She drank so much. Drinking wine on an empty stomach will harm your body.
"Drunk will solve a thousand worries, sister, please don't worry about me." Ling Ruo wanted to get the wine glass back, but she saw Guarjia glanced at a deserted place and poured all the wine in the glass, leaving only Next empty cup.
"Drunkness can solve a thousand sorrows. It's obviously adding sorrow to sorrow." Guarjia handed the empty cup to Congxiang behind him angrily and said: "Anyway, you are not allowed to drink anymore." Then he said distressedly: "Say. After all, you still can’t let go of the emperor.”
"I didn't." Ling Ruo replied quickly, but she didn't even believe it herself, so how could she deceive Guarjia.
"You are always telling the truth." Guarjia held her cold hands under her brocade clothes tightly, "Oh, even if the emperor really doesn't care for you anymore, you still have to take good care of yourself, and don't get into trouble with your body."
"It's not serious, it's true. I am no longer in the eyes of the emperor." Ling Ruo said frustratedly. Although she deliberately did not look at Yinzhen, she clearly heard about him enjoying wine and food with Wen Ruqing and others. , From the beginning to the end, Yinzhen never cared about himself.
Guarjia was silent for a moment and said: "I still said the same thing, the emperor is deliberately neglecting you. Although there are countless women in the harem, you are the only concubine that the emperor can personally find outside the palace and enter the palace through the Qing Gate. As long as there is no second one, you will be the most important in the Emperor's heart."
Ling Ruo only thought Guarjia was comforting herself, smiled bitterly and said nothing, and she no longer had the energy to think carefully under the anesthesia of alcohol.
Guarjia paused for a while and then said: "But in today's New Year's Eve banquet, I always feel that besides Sister Wen, there is someone missing, but I can't figure out who it is?"
Ling Ruo didn't bother to think about her words. It had nothing to do with who came or not. She didn't want to think about anything now and didn't want to pay attention to it.
Time passed quietly with such words, and finally it was time...
The drumming suddenly stopped, the fireworks stopped, the night suddenly became very quiet, and you could even hear the cold wind blowing through the branches.
Before everyone could be surprised, a little light seemed to light up in the depths of the high platform, and then the light slowly rose. When it was fully exposed, it was seen that it was a huge Kongming Lantern. The strangest thing was that there was a figure in the Kongming Lantern. Look
That posture should be that of a woman.
Through the light wall of the Kongming Lantern, you can see the woman holding something and hitting it hard in front of her. Then she hears a "dong" sound. It turns out that the drum sound heard before is coming from here.
The drums sounded and fireworks bloomed. Every time the graceful woman knocked down the drum, fireworks bloomed, turning it into the most beautiful scene of the night.
Yinzhen looked at the looming figure of the woman hidden in the sky lantern with great interest. He was very curious about the identity of the woman in the lantern, while Nian's face looked much more ugly. He glanced at the queen hatefully. No need to ask, it must be the queen.
I wanted to take the opportunity to promote someone, so I used the New Year's Eve fireworks to create such a good show. Hum, I knew that I was old and shabby and not liked by Yinzhen, so I promoted others to consolidate my position. It was a good calculation.
Not only the Nian family, but also the Dai Jia family, Wu family and others were not very good-looking. Anyone's favor would dilute the favor on them. However, this scene made it clear that it was the queen's intention. Even if they were unhappy, they would not be happy.
Dare to be too presumptuous and superficial.
Following the woman's movements, the sound of the drum is no longer the same, either light or heavy, deep or slow, and the woman also dances while beating the drum, her body is as soft and boneless, her movements are graceful and light, without a trace of fireworks, as if
A fairy who did not quite fall into the mortal world, and who can only see a shadow makes people even more imaginative.
"Queen, who is the woman in the lamp?" Yinzhen couldn't help his curiosity and asked Nala who always kept a calm smile, but his eyes never left the shadow on the lamp wall.
"Your Majesty, don't be anxious, we will find out soon." Seeing that Nala didn't want to answer the riddle prematurely, Yinzhen stopped asking and just looked at the dancing figure with admiration.
The sound of the drums became more and more intense, almost becoming one continuous one, with no pause in between. The woman's figure also spun rapidly, her clothes flying like the wings of a giant butterfly.
With the rapid beating of drums, fireworks also rise into the night sky one after another. The fireworks are dazzling and dazzling. Often one place has not stopped while another has already bloomed, making the night sky always lively.
Lanterns, fireworks, drums, and women have become the most memorable things of this night.
When the drumming reached its peak, the Kongming Lantern, which had been standing still, suddenly rose slowly and rose into the night sky along with the fireworks.
