Wu Jingshan and Wen Boyuan glanced at each other, only to see that Hu Xiaotian had already walked in. It had just started snowing outside. After Hu Xiaotian entered, he patted the falling snow on his body and stamped his feet again, shaking the snow and ice on his feet to the ground.
, when he finished these things, he sighed and said: "I tried to persuade her for a long time, but the princess still insisted on going to watch the lanterns. What should I do?"
Wu Jingshan and Wen Boyuan looked at him quietly, thinking to themselves, just go ahead and act. You are responsible for everything. You are pretending to be innocent in front of us. Who are you kidding?
Seeing that both of them were silent, Hu Xiaotian knew that they must blame him for this incident. He took a step towards Wen Bo: "General Wen, didn't you mean to let people guard the courtyard where the princess lives? No one can wait.
Enter, how did the princess learn about the Lantern Festival?"
"Uh..." Wen Boyuan always knew that Hu Xiaotian was despicable, but he didn't expect that this guy was so despicable that he actually beat him up. Wen Boyuan snorted coldly and said: "Didn't Eunuch Hu just go there?".
Hu Xiao's ｀novelTiandao: "General Wen said this because he doubted me? I dare to swear to God, if I, Hu Xiaotian, take the initiative to mention the Lantern Festival to the princess, the sky will strike with thunder and arrows will fly into my heart." Lantern Festival.
He really didn't say what happened. In fact, even if he did, he could swear that this guy never believed in evil.
Wen Boyuan couldn't help but feel a little shaken when he heard him making such a vicious oath. Could it be that the princess' proposal to watch the lanterns really had nothing to do with him?
Wu Jingshan said: "Eunuch Hu, how can you make such a poisonous oath during the Chinese New Year? No one said that they don't believe you. The three of us went to Dayong together with the same purpose, to bring Princess Anping to safety."
When the land is sent to Dayong, no one wants to create too many complications. In my opinion, it is better to do this. Eunuch Hu will go and persuade the princess to see if he can persuade her to give up her idea of watching the lanterns."
Hu Xiaotian sighed and said: "I have tried to persuade you. The princess doesn't listen. You don't understand. Our Princess Anping is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. Once she decides something, even nine oxen can't bring her back."
Wu Jingshan said: "If this is really the case, we can only make preparations in advance. If necessary, we can ask Tianbo City to send troops to help defend and block Guanlan Street."
Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "The princess specifically told me that she must not disturb the local people because she went to watch the lanterns. In my opinion, we should wait until dark to protect the princess and go back early. There is no need to mobilize troops." He told her.
Wen Boyuan smiled and said: "General Wen has great martial arts skills and has many masters under his command. With you protecting him, I think there won't be any problems."
Wen Boyuan frowned and said: "Since the princess insists on going, we can only follow her opinion, so be it. I will have people put on plain clothes to protect us along the way, and I will bring a few good hands for personal protection."
Wu Jingshan said: "You really don't need to notify Tianbo City?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "It's right to stay vigilant, but there is no need to go too far. We are still on the territory of Dakang. The public security in Tianbo City has always been good. We still have so many people protecting us. We are just going to the lantern festival to stroll around.
It’s not about going to the battlefield. Mr. Wu must be worrying too much.”
Wu Jingshan said: "It is always better to be cautious." He said this, but in his heart he also thought that what Hu Xiaotian said made sense.
Night had just fallen. Princess Long Xiyue of Anping left the post house accompanied by Hu Xiaotian and others. The distance from the post house to Guanlan Street was only more than a mile. Because of the lantern festival that night, the residents of Tianbo City all went there with their families.
We went to Guanlan Street to watch the lanterns. At dusk, this road was bustling with people. It would be better to walk faster if we took a car. So Princess Anping decided to walk.
Hu Xiaotian and Zijuan were with Long Xiyue, one on the left and the other on the right. Wen Boyuan led two warriors to follow Long Xiyue. In front of Long Xiyue were Zhan Peng and Zhao Chongwu, both of whom were divine planners.
The masters of the Fuyan group are responsible for opening the way in front.
The group of people were all dressed in plain clothes, and Zicuckoo was holding a snowball in her hands. She also took the puppy out to see things.
Hu Xiaotian left the post house, looked up to both sides, and saw lights and colorful lights hanging on both sides of the street. It was a lively scene. The snow was not heavy, it fell sparsely, and it fell silently. The contrast of red and white made it even more unique to the New Year.
In great joy, sporadic firecrackers sounded from time to time.
Wen Boyuan cast his eyes on the roofs on both sides. There were more than ten figures on each side leaping and marching on the roof walls. Those people were also his subordinates, responsible for guarding high places and checking for possible dangers. It should be said that their precautions were in place.
, almost foolproof.
Long Xiyue was holding a palace lantern in her hand, and the warm light illuminated the road ahead. Looking at the lantern city in the distance where the stars were as bright as the Milky Way, Long Xiyue felt an unprecedented sense of relief, and the snowflakes in the air fell on her from time to time.
On her pretty face, her skin quickly melted, giving her a hint of coolness. She finally realized that she had left Kangdu and the palace that was equivalent to a prison. Although her future destiny was only from
She went from one prison to another, but at least now she has her beloved by her side.
Her beautiful eyes looked at Hu Xiaotian, revealing a hint of tenderness inadvertently. Hu Xiaotian seemed not to see her gaze, carefully held her arm, and respectfully said: "Go well, Your Highness, Princess!" How could he not see it? He just pretended to be
In front of so many people, I dare not have any obvious reaction.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the first full-moon night of the year, which represents the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty and the return of spring to the earth. People celebrate this night not only to celebrate the continuation of the New Year, but also to express their expectations for a better life in the New Year.
According to the folk tradition of Dakang, on this beautiful night when the bright moon hangs high, people light up thousands of colorful lanterns and run around to celebrate. They go out to enjoy the moon, set off fireworks, guess lantern riddles, eat Lantern Festival together, and have family reunions, enjoying themselves happily.
When you come to the street, you will blend into the happy crowd, see the lanterns of different shapes and colors, and see the smiling faces of the people around you, your mood will be infected and become happy.
Dusk had just fallen, and there was no moon in the sky because of the falling snow. Every brick, tile, plant and tree in Tianbo City was all covered in silver because of the falling snow. At the entrance to Guanlan Street, a tower was erected.
The gate made of lanterns is majestic and brilliant, with lights twinkling and colorful. The entire Guanlan Street is crowded with people and has become a human galaxy of flowing lights.
When you enter Guanlan Street, you enter a world of lights. There are colorful flower lanterns, the Nine Lotus Pagoda lanterns elevated in the center of the road, revolving lanterns, jade rabbit lanterns, peacock tail lanterns, Ziya Fengshen lanterns, and the Three War Lu Bu lanterns.
, making a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace Lantern, all kinds of gods and Buddhas are around you, as if you have entered a bizarre mythical world.
Going further, there are gourd lanterns, cabbage lanterns, watermelon lanterns, pepper lanterns, and radish lanterns, as if walking into a vegetable garden full of spring. There are sounds of singing and laughter everywhere.
Princess Anping grabbed Zicuckoo's hand like a child, pointing and laughing from time to time.
Hu Xiaotian looked at her charming face. In his memory, Long Xiyue rarely showed such happiness. Maybe this was the real her. She was supposed to be innocent at her age, but she was reduced to politics.
As a bargaining chip for the exchange of interests, while Hu Xiaotian lamented the unfortunate fate of Princess Anping, he also felt determined to protect her safety for the rest of her life. This time, no matter what the price, he would rescue her from the tiger's mouth.
A field of animal lanterns appeared in front, including cat lanterns, lamb lanterns, and dog lanterns. Snowball, who was held in Zicuckoo's arms, may have seen the same kind of animals and barked excitedly. The various colored lanterns were lifelike, colorful, and too beautiful to behold.
It can be said to be a masterpiece of ingenuity, which makes people dizzy and dazzled. It can be said that the whole world can be seen at a glance.
Wen Boyuan and several warriors in charge of security did not dare to focus on admiring the beautiful scenery around them. They were always vigilant about the people passing by, and they also had to protect Princess Anping to avoid being crowded away by the crowd.
Princess Anping had learned about the Lantern Festival in Tianbo City before. She told Hu Xiaotian: "The Lantern Festival Lantern Festival in Tianbo City is said to be the largest in the world. Every year before the Lantern Festival, the craftsmen will be busy preparing colored paper and paint.
Colored paper, paint, iron wire and bamboo strips, yarn and cloth are cut, picked, painted, dyed, tied, wrapped and stretched. These materials are transformed into various vivid lanterns under the skillful hands of craftsmen.
"
Hu Xiaotian complimented: "The princess is really knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and she knows everything about astronomy and geography."
Princess Anping smiled and said: "It's not that exaggerated. I've only seen it in books in the past. Today is the first time I've seen it with my own eyes."
Guanlan Street is filled with thousands of lights, the streets are crowded with people, the lights are flashing, and it’s very lively.
There was a huge crowd in front of the road, and they all gathered on the road, but there were lantern riddles hung there. Guessing lantern riddles is also one of the most popular activities of talented people and beautiful women. It was rare for Princess Anping to be so happy. In her excitement, she even ignored the presence of so many people around her.
, reached out and grabbed Hu Xiaotian's arm.
Wen Boyuan had been paying attention to Princess Anping's every move. When he saw her grabbing Hu Xiaotian's arm, his pupils suddenly shrank, gleaming with jealousy. But then he thought that Hu Xiaotian was just a eunuch, why should he be jealous of a eunuch?
eunuch.
Princess Anping pointed to the lantern riddle above her head and said, "There are only two of us staying in the house to get some food." After thinking about it, she smiled and said, "Isn't it tofu?"
The old man who was in charge of guessing lantern riddles over there smiled and said: "Girl, you guessed it right, it's tofu!" He handed a cloth tiger to Princess Anping as a reward, and Princess Anping smiled and said: "Thank you, old man." Only then did she realize.
Realizing that she had been grabbing Hu Xiaotian's arm, her pretty face couldn't help but blush, and she hurriedly let go of her hand. Wenbo watched from a distance, and doubts arose in his heart. Princess Anping's shy look seemed a bit strange? Why would she be so interested in a person?
The eunuch showed such an expression?
Princess Anping pointed to another lantern riddle and said, "Aren't you happy?"
Hu Xiaotian was startled when he heard her suddenly say these words. How could he be unhappy suddenly? He looked in the direction of Princess Anping's finger and realized that she was reciting a lantern riddle. The riddle showed that she was unhappy. Princess Anping blinked her bright eyes.
She said: "Guess!" It looked like she had guessed the answer to the riddle. (To be continued...)
