Xu Qing smiled slightly after hearing what Su Qian said: "You are right, Madam."
Su Qian said: "Will the Chen family take revenge on us?"
There was a trace of ruthlessness in Xu Qing's smile, and she said: "They? They are trying to separate you and me, but we have to see who takes revenge on whom."
Concubine Hui is a member of the Chen family, and she was very prominent at first, but now she is no longer in the same situation as she was in her heyday. In her heyday, the Ministry of Rites was almost the domain of the Chen family. But now, with the Chu Emperor deliberately diluting the power of the family, a few years ago,
That is to say, Chen Jia was relieved of his position as Minister of Rites.
Nowadays, the biggest [official position with real power] in the Chen family is just a minister.
This situation is also expected. As time goes by, the imperial power is stable. No emperor is willing to let one family become the dominant one. If the family becomes stronger, it will be weakened. This is the same as the game in later generations.
Who, otherwise how can others live?
If it is not weakened, will other officials have no court experience?
Do you understand antitrust?
However, the current Minister of Rites is also dishonest and greedy for a lot of money. I am afraid that he will not be able to stay in this position for two years.
…
Just as the two of them were visiting the park hand in hand, time was slowly passing by, and in a blink of an eye it was time to set off the fireworks.
Xu Qing saw the palace servants approaching the garden one after another holding fire folding pieces. He turned to look at Su Qian and said, "It's almost time to set off the fireworks. Let's go. I will take my wife to a place for my husband."
Su Qian nodded and let Xu Qing hold hands and walk to a pavilion.
After Xu Qing and Su Qian walked up to the same pavilion, they leaned on the railing and looked out. The entire Imperial Garden was unobstructed.
Xu Qing looked at Su Qian and said: "Originally, I wanted to set up the viewing point here so that I could have a panoramic view of the scenery in the garden. However, His Majesty and several officials from the Si Tianjian insisted on believing in the purple energy coming from the east, so they set up the viewing point here.
On the east side of the pavilion, the viewing angle is much different."
"It's terrible to be uneducated, but it just so happens that no one comes here, so no one will disturb us when we look here."
Su Qian said with a smile: "It's my husband and I who took advantage."
It was at this moment that fireworks shot up into the sky, bursting out with thousands of rays of brilliance, faintly forming the character "longevity" in the sky.
Why is it Yin Yin? Because the current technology of the National Commercial Academy to improve fireworks is not very mature, especially the ones with words, which require a lot of effort.
But fortunately, even this was able to amaze these princes and ministers who had never seen much of the world for a long time.
Su Qiandu was quite amazed and said: "I didn't expect that ordinary fireworks could be so magnificent in my husband's hands."
Xu Qing smiled and said: "Of course, my husband is very capable. My wife will know it in the future."
"But speaking of these fireworks, don't be impatient, madam, the most beautiful ones are yet to come."
Su Qian smiled and nodded, feeling hopeful again.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps approached, and then a voice sounded: "Xu Qing! Sister Su, you are here!"
Hearing the sound, the hands held by Xu Qing and Su Qian suddenly separated like an electric shock, as if someone had caught them secretly falling in love.
The two of them turned around and saw Xiao Ruxue running towards them.
Then Xu Qing felt a little strange. Let alone Xiao Ruxue, it was the Xian Wang who came. It was only natural to hold the lady's hand, right?
Why is it like being a thief?
baffling.
Just when Xu Qing was about to pull back his wife's hand, Su Qian refused to let him hold it.
With Xue'er here, she was embarrassed to let her husband hold her hand like this, which would make Xue'er laugh.
Xiao Ruxue walked to Su Qian and said, "Sister Su is with Xu Qing. I can't find you anywhere."
Xu Qing asked curiously: "Xue'er, how did you know that your sister Su is here?"
Xiao Ruxue looked at Xu Qing and said, "I don't know. When I was watching the fireworks over there, I felt that the view here would be better, so I came here to see it. My father and mother still didn't believe it."
Suddenly, Xiao Ruxue looked at Xu Qing doubtfully: "Didn't you go to the toilet because you had an upset stomach?"
Xu Qing was stunned: "Who did you listen to?"
"That's what King Qi said when he came back!"
"Oh, that's it. When you get back, tell Brother Xiao and ask him to beat up King Qi tomorrow."
"Well, I understand."
…
In this way, King Qi, who spoke sadly in a few words, was clearly arranged by the two of them.
Just as the conversation between the two ended, a huge beam of light suddenly shot up into the sky, as if a fire tree grew out of thin air from the ground.
In an instant, the entire imperial garden was illuminated as bright as day.
Both Su Qian and Xiao Ruxue were filled with excitement when they saw such a scene, and there was already a burst of exclamations from the other attic. It seemed that there were still people who had never seen the world.
Xiao Ruxue looked at the fireworks and couldn't help but sigh: "It's so beautiful! I also want to set off such big fireworks on my birthday, can you make them for me?"
Xu Qing smiled and nodded: "Okay, how about you and your wife having these fireworks for your next birthday?"
"Hmm~!" Xiao Ruxue looked excited.
Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ruxue and Su Qian with shocked expressions and shook his head: "Don't worry, there will be more later."
As soon as Xu Qing finished speaking, the huge fire tree converged and rose up. It once again shed bright firelight like the fire tree that had just reached the sky. It was like a waterfall flowing down from the Tianhe River in the mortal world.
The imperial garden that had just dimmed was illuminated again.
Xu Qing smiled and said: "How about this fireworks?"
Xiao Ruxue looked up at the place where fireworks were spraying down from high in the sky, nodded repeatedly and said, "So beautiful! So beautiful! I want this too!"
Xu Qing nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give this to you too."
…
As if this view was not satisfying enough, Xiao Ruxue jumped directly to the top of the pavilion with a tap of her toes: "Wow, you can see more clearly here! Sister Su, Xu Qing, come up too!"
Xu Qing said: "Xue'er won't be in any danger up there, right?"
Su Qian shook her head and said, "With Xue'er's Qinggong, nothing will happen."
With that said, Su Qian flew up to the top of the pavilion on tiptoe.
Xiao Ruxue was on top and said happily: "Xu Qing, Xu Qing! Come up quickly! It's really comfortable up there!"
Xu Qing raised his head and shouted: "No, who of you can give me a hand?"
He has only scratched the surface of Qinggong. He can dodge other people's moves just fine. Xu Qing can't even jump to the top of the pavilion without falling to the ground.
Su Qian smiled and flew down, grabbed Xu Qing's arm and jumped up.
Xiao Ruxue looked at Xu Qing who was unable to come up on her own, laughing and clapping her hands: "Hehehe, Xu Qing is so stupid! Ah!"
When Xu Qing heard Xiao Ruxue's words, he flicked his brain on Xiao Ruxue's forehead mercilessly, and threatened: "If you say something stupid about me again, I won't make fireworks for you."
Xiao Ruxue rubbed her forehead, stuck out her tongue at Xu Qing angrily, and said nothing.
