Chapter 186: Three Thousand Lights and Fireworks Filling the City
Imperial Concubine Lu did not stay long and quickly left to return to the palace.
As soon as she left, the atmosphere became noticeably more lively.
The Lu family, which had been silent for more than half a year, was preparing to use this birthday party to return to the social circle in a high-profile manner, so they specially held a garden tour and lantern lighting event tonight.
The large garden of the Lu family covers an extensive area and is beautifully decorated with fiery trees and silver flowers.
Whether on the trees or in the water, there are already lit lamps with exquisite shapes.
It is said that three thousand lamps are lit to pray for the imperial concubine and the old lady.
Mrs. Lu said with a smile on her face, "Girls can take what they like and put up lanterns to pray."
"Hey, it reminds me of our past. We loved putting out lanterns during the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Many ladies expressed their feelings. Compared to the regular banquet of drinking and listening to a show, the activities arranged by the Lu family tonight were obviously more popular.
Shen Xingwan could already predict that after tonight, this banquet would become everyone's new after-dinner conversation, and the Lu family would once again become the focus.
"It's really high-profile." Shen Xingwan sighed.
Shen Qingran pulled her sleeves, "Let's choose too."
The servants of the Lu family have already put out the prepared lamps and filled the floor.
The girls were chattering excitedly while choosing.
This scene looks really lively and cute, it will make people feel better, these youthful smiling faces.
Shen Xingwan looked at it and picked a rabbit lantern.
Shen Qingran also quickly picked it up, and some of her friends came to her to play with them.
Shen Qingran turned her head and said to her gently, "Sister, let's go together."
Shen Xingwan shook his head, "Sister, go play and don't worry about me."
Shen Xingwan was a determined person, and Shen Qingran did not force it, but left hand in hand with her friends.
The girls went to have fun without any worries, but the ladies still had to stay and socialize. The people who came tonight were of high status, so it was always a good thing to make more friends.
Shen Xingwan took Qinghong and Banxia and found a quiet pavilion to sit for a while.
Banxia looked around and sized it up, "It's so beautiful. The garden under the lights looks different from what it looks like during the day."
The Lu family is already so prosperous and luxurious, worthy of Shengjing.
Shen Xingwan blew the wind for a while, then went down the stone ladder beside the pavilion and put the rabbit lantern in his hand into the water.
She didn't seem to have anything special she wanted, so she finally wished Fu Jingchao a speedy recovery.
Shen Xingwan watched the rabbit lantern float to the middle of the water, and then led the people back.
Halfway through the walk, on the quiet lakeside path, someone walked in the light and shadow holding a jade rabbit lantern.
Shen Xingwan glanced at the lamp in his hand. The rabbit she chose was cute and the jade rabbit was beautiful.
When people approached, Shen Xingwan slowly saluted, "I've met the fourth prince."
"Miss Shen, there is no need to be polite."
Shen Xingwan raised his eyes. Compared with the indifferent feeling that Lu Yu usually gave people, tonight his eyes were a little moist and his face was a little red.
He was probably a little drunk.
Lu Yu glanced at her slender fingers and said, "Has Miss Shen's lamp been turned on yet?"
Shen Xingwan pointed to the lake, "It has almost reached the center of the lake."
Lu Yu nodded, "Miss Shen, can you accompany me to put this lantern on?"
Facing Shen Xingwan's surprised look, Lu Yu explained with a smile without changing his expression, "I didn't bring anyone in. I drank too much. I'm afraid I accidentally fell into the water."
As he spoke, he shook the lamp in his hand and said, "I have already thought about my wishes. It would be a pity not to let them go."
"Miss Shen, just stand aside and watch. If I fall, remember to ask someone to save me."
At the end of the sentence, I probably thought it was funny too, and my tone was filled with laughter.
This reason was hard to refuse. Shen Xingwan nodded, "Your Highness, please go down. I will watch."
Lu Yu held the lamp in one hand, and the two walked quietly back to the pavilion side by side.
Shen Xingwan stood still while Lu Yu walked towards the lake step by step.
His pace was much slower, and he looked really drunk.
Shen Xingwan saw him standing by the lake and looked at the lake for a while.
The back figure looks a bit lonely for no reason.
After a while, he bent down and put the lamp in the water, closed his eyes and made a pious wish.
Shen Xingwan secretly guessed what he would wish for. After all, it seemed that he didn't lack anything.
In the end, Lu Yu's feet didn't slip and he came back safely.
Lu Yu looked at him indifferently, a little drunkenly, "Do you want to know what wish I made?"
"It won't work if you say it." Shen Xingwan said.
"Let's go back."
After walking a few steps, I saw Shen Qingran coming over.
Shen Qingran was obviously a little surprised when he saw the two people standing together, and quickly calmed down and saluted Lu Yu.
Then he said to Shen Xingwan, "The fireworks are about to be set off, so I came to see my sister. Someone said that they saw you walking this way."
"Well, I happened to meet the fourth prince." Shen Xingwan explained.
"Let's go to the front and start setting off the fireworks right away."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "bang" and various styles of fireworks shot up into the sky.
The sky is dyed brightly.
It was obvious that the Lu family had spent a lot of money on this banquet.
The fireworks were so loud that the whole of Shengjing should have been alarmed.
Shen Xingwan raised his head and looked.
It's really beautiful, the whole sky seems to be covered with fireworks.
By the quiet lake, Lu Yu and Shen Xingwan were looking up at the fireworks.
Shen Qingran looked at the fourth prince quietly.
She originally thought that in such a prosperous time, she and he would be in the same sky and watch a fireworks together.
It can be regarded as a common memory for her to collect.
I didn't expect to be so close...
Up close, she could clearly see his eyelashes and smell the faint scent of pine on his body...
Shen Qingran thought that she should be content.
Some people are destined to only watch from a distance...
The fireworks that shocked the whole city lasted for a whole hour.
In the palace, the queen stood on a high building and watched with an indifferent expression.
Fu Jingchao had just woken up from a deep sleep and was walking in a wheelchair in the yard.
He also looked up.
"Tonight is Mrs. Lu's birthday, it's really lively." Hong Ling said while pushing her wheelchair.
The Lu family?
Fu Jingchao lowered his eyes. With such a big movement, Shen Xingwan didn't know whether he was asleep or watching like him...
How wonderful it was this time last year. He was playing ugly maid with the cat in her yard.
It had only been a year, and those quiet days and afternoons seemed so far away that they seemed like something that had happened in a previous life.
Fu Jingchao coughed twice, feeling a little drowsy and sleepy.
The imperial doctor said that he was too weak and caught a cold, and his current reaction is normal.
The expression on Fu Jingchao's face turned cold.
Hong Ling looked at him nervously, "Your Majesty, let's go inside. It's dark and it's too cold outside."
Fu Jingchao did not move and watched the fireworks outside.
"After the fireworks bloom, they will fall... It seems that the Lu family can't wait."
Hong Ling blinked, "The prince said this, it's really not good to think about it. I don't know if anyone can survive such a big battle..."
