Li Mu couldn't "argue", so he reluctantly agreed. He stayed with Bai Qiaoqiao for a while before coming out of the room. There was an endless stream of congratulators, some of whom were of high status, and he also needed to answer correctly.
Time passed by in a moment, and it was dusk. The guests had almost left. Today was the Lantern Festival, and there were many activities in the evening. Lantern riddles were guessed in the streets and alleys, the emperor of Chengtianmen had fun with the people, and oirans were selected in Pingkangfang, and there were no
The curfew can last all night, and no one wants to miss the excitement.
The small courtyard became quiet, and Li Mu's students consciously helped clean up. Sun and Tang Jian also rushed back, and they had to leave. Today, Li Shimin also entertained people on the Lantern Festival. Tang Jian is one of the six ministers.
, was naturally invited. Empress Sun, the eldest daughter of the harem, also hosted a banquet for Mrs. Yipingaoming, and Mrs. Sun was also invited. This was all a matter of honor, and there was no excuse, so we had to spend today and come back tomorrow.
Until now, Li Mu had not gone to meet Li Zhien. Li Zhien hid in his room, lying next to the window and looking outside countless times. He felt increasingly uncomfortable and disappointed.
She couldn't help but wonder, were those sweet words Li Mu once said all lies? Didn't he say that he should not be treated as a concubine, but as a wife? Why did the wife abandon her when she got pregnant?
"Isn't it just a child? I can give birth to it," Li Zhien muttered, looking at the wedding dress on the bed, his nose became sour and he almost shed tears.
She hadn't left the house all day, hadn't eaten lunch or dinner. But until now, no one had asked her if she was hungry. Everyone walked past her window and went to Bai Qiaoqiao's room.
It's as if she doesn't exist.
Today is obviously her big day, but everyone ignores her!
Li Zhien desperately told herself that Bai Qiaoqiao was pregnant and she should be more sensible. However, the complaints in her heart could not be suppressed and kept coming out. She was now like a second-hand woman who was desperately resisting and did not want to become black.
Although he is a dimensional person, he cannot resist the majesty of the God of Destiny. The negative energy in his heart gradually accumulates, and his eyes become resentful.
Just then, someone knocked on the door.
Li Zhien sniffed, wiped away his tears, and said angrily: "Who is it? I'm asleep!"
"It's me." Bai Qiaoqiao's voice came from outside the door. Li Zhien quickly got off the bed and came to the door to open the door. When he saw Bai Qiaoqiao and Wang Ou, he immediately blushed and said: "Madam, you
Why don't you take a good rest, I..."
She blushed because she herself felt that she was not generous enough. After Liu Shenwei took Bai Qiaoqiao's pulse and confirmed the fact that she was pregnant, Li Zhien quietly hid out and never showed up, which really seemed a bit stingy.
"Madam" Li Zhien wanted to explain, but didn't know what to say, and her face turned purple.
Bai Qiaoqiao took her hand and said with a smile, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"No," Li Zhien said, but his tone was different. After all, he was still young. Even though he was smart and understood, he still couldn't bear it.
As if to resolve the embarrassment, Wang Ou took over the words and said, "Let's not talk about it anymore. Today is the Lantern Festival, the day for viewing lanterns. My husband just said that we didn't have time to go to the city to see the lanterns. He himself
It’s ready. Zhien, let’s go see how your husband’s lantern is being prepared?”
"I'm not going." Li Zhien was having a quarrel with Li Mu in his mind, so he couldn't agree to go. But he couldn't stand Wang Ou's repeated soft talk, so he had to put on his clothes and follow him out. Bai Qiaoqiao and Wang Ou winked.
Wang Ou lagged half a step behind and folded the wedding dress on the bed and picked it up. Li Zhien was only thinking about how to act coquettishly and complain when he saw Li Mu later, but he didn't notice at all.
After coming out of the small courtyard, the three girls came to the door. They saw a big fire rising not far away. Li Mu was busy doing something next to the fire. The sky had darkened and he couldn't see clearly. There were shadowy figures as if there were things.
"Husband, Zhien is here, what's your surprise? Also open the eyes of me and Sister Ou?"
"Surprise, surprise?" Li Zhien was a little confused. He looked at Bai Qiaoqiao and then at Li Mu. He suddenly thought of something and his heartbeat speeded up.
Li Mu held a torch in his hand and said, "I wonder if she is willing to get married? It seems like she is ignoring me. She seems to be angry, so she probably won't get married."
"No!" Li Zhien said anxiously: "I am willing, I..."
When she heard this, she realized that Li Mu was teasing her. She immediately blushed and hid in Bai Qiaoqiao's arms.
Wang Ou smiled and said: "Husband, don't make her anxious. You just cried when you didn't see her."
"Really!" Li Mu laughed, walked over with a torch, and said, "Are you crying? Since you are in such a bad mood today, let's talk about it tomorrow."
"No!" Li Zhien couldn't care less about being ashamed. He raised his head from Bai Qiaoqiao's arms, grabbed Li Mu's sleeve and said, "Today is the day. Master, please marry me. I beg you."
Seeing her pitiful look, Li Mu couldn't bear to tease her any more. He handed the torch to her hand and said, "Let's get started. Take this torch and light the rope."
Li Zhien didn't know why: "What?"
“Just click.”
"Oh." Li Zhien took the torch, walked over and lit the rope end. There was a crash, and the flames rose. It turned out that the rope end was dipped in oil, and it caught fire when it was touched.
A line of fire extended upward along the rope, and the surrounding area became brighter and brighter. Only then did Li Zhien realize that the shadowy thing was a shelf, and the shelf was covered with a huge piece of spliced leather. The leather was painted
Black, can't see clearly in the dark night.
The match rope burned up and entered the large iron basin inside the shelf. I don't know what was inside. When it jumped to the ground, a bigger flame rose. I don't know what happened, but the piece of leather was roasted and floated.
The leather was bulged into a ball shape and separated from the shelf. Only then did he see what was inside the shelf. It was actually the carriage of the carriage that Li Mu had dismantled in the morning!
There was a lantern lit inside the carriage, which looked like a lantern.
That's it?
The expressions of the three women were all similar, and they were all thinking, is this a surprise? It was indeed quite surprising, because Li Mu had never done anything so unsurprising before, and on the other hand, it was considered a surprise.
Li Mu took in all their expressions, smiled slightly, and said, "Zhien, are you brave?"
"Huh?" Li Zhien looked at him, paused for a moment, and said, "You will be bolder when you are with the master."
"Okay!" Li Mu took the wedding dress from Wang Ou, took Li Zhien's hand, and said, "I'll take you flying!"
"ah?"
Before Li Zhien realized what was going on, he was pulled into the carriage by Li Mu. After entering, Li Zhien saw that the carriage had been modified by Li Mu. There were several complex mechanisms on the roof of the carriage, and on the
On the roof of the carriage was the large iron basin where the oil rope had just been burned and set ablaze.
And on the bed inside the carriage, there were several boxes of fine animal charcoal.
What is this for? Li Zhien doesn’t understand at all.
However, Wang Ou saw something, his eyes widened instantly, and he murmured: "Kongming Lantern?"
Bai Qiaoqiao was nearby. When he heard this, he asked strangely: "Sister Ou, what are you talking about? What is a Kongming Lantern?"
"The Kongming Lantern is" Wang Ou was about to explain, when suddenly Bai Qiaoqiao shouted: "Ah, it's really flying! What should I do? Will my husband fall down?"
Wang Ou looked up and saw that this huge "Kongming Lantern" was already flying. Because the leather was opaque and painted black, it was difficult to see clearly from a distance. All that could be seen was the light of the lantern in the carriage.
It looks like it is flying in the sky out of thin air.
Wang Ou was also worried about Li Mu's safety and shouted: "Husband! How did you get down?"
"ah?"
Li Mu was stunned, and his expression suddenly changed.
Oops, I was only thinking about how to fly and forgot how to get down!
Li Mu glanced at Li Zhien who was full of excitement, opened the curtain and shouted: "Don't worry, there is a way! You go back to sleep first and take good care of Qiaoqiao!!"
As it drifted further and further away, the sound became smaller and smaller, becoming inaudible. But Wang Ou was relieved. In his opinion, this was Li Mu. He could do all kinds of magic and incredible things.
Wang Ou helped Bai Qiaoqiao back to the yard, and continued what he had just said, explaining: "This Kong Ming Lantern is said to be from the time of the Three Kingdoms, when Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of Shu..."
"I know Zhuge Liang. He is in my husband's "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Is he the same person?"
"Well, it's a..."
…
The fifteenth moon is so round!
Li Mu looked at the moon outside the carriage and swallowed. He didn't know if he and Li Zhien would be able to see the sun tomorrow.
But seeing how happy Li Zhien was now, Li Mu really couldn't bear to tell her the truth.
So stupid!
If he died like this, it would be a shame for a time traveler!
"Master, why are you unhappy?" Li Zhien couldn't help but asked when he saw Li Mu's expression was very bad.
"Ah?" Li Mu grabbed Li Zhien's hand, pressed it on his chest, and said: "Zhien, I love you! I'm not unhappy. You can see my heartbeat. I, I am nervous. To be honest,
It’s my first time to fly, I have no experience, and I’m a little scared!”
"It really beats very fast." Li Zhien smiled, bit his lower lip, took Li Mu's hand and pressed it on his chest, and said: "Master, my heart beats very fast too."
Li Mu pinched it, grinned, and admired himself in his heart. Under such circumstances, he could still have evil thoughts. It was really audacious.
Li Zhien came close to Li Mu's arms, leaned on his shoulders, and said: "Master, I really like the surprise you prepared for me. If I hadn't been sitting here, I would never have dared to think that one day I would be able to fly to the sky.
.Isn’t this something only gods can do?”
As she said that, she looked up at Li Mu and said, "Master, in my heart, you are like a god descending to earth."
Li Mu laughed dryly and said, "Yeah, it's not that powerful."
Just as he was talking, the carriage suddenly paused, and Li Zhien screamed in fright. Li Mu quickly pulled off the quilt cover, gathered the four corners, and handed it to Li Zhien's hand, saying: "If it falls in a while, you must hold on tight and don't let go.
!
Li Zhien's face turned pale with fright. Li Mu looked up at the big iron basin above his head, put a box of charcoal under his arm, and climbed to the roof of the carriage.
He is afraid too!
This place is not high from the ground, only about thirty meters, but there is no doubt that you will die if you fall!
He tried hard to maintain his balance, checked every knot, and found no signs of looseness. He took a deep breath. He looked at the big iron basin on his head, grabbed a piece of animal charcoal, shook it in his hand, and used his junior high school skills.
With the "basket shooting" skills I have developed, I threw a parabola and accurately threw the charcoal into the big iron basin.
With a bang, the fire became a little stronger. Li Mu felt a little relieved and jumped back into the carriage.
Li Zhien quickly came over and grabbed his arm and said, "Master, no, are you okay?"
"It's okay!"
In order for Li Zhien not to be afraid, he had to say it was okay when something happened. Li Mu looked calm and said, "It's a small problem, it's not harmful. Zhien, remember, a little shaking is normal, just don't be afraid."
"Yeah!" Li Zhien nodded and asked, "Do you still need to hold on to the quilt cover?"
"Well," Li Mu thought for a while, pulled the quilt cover into strips, and then braided it into a rope to tie him and Li Zhien together. Then he braided another rope and tied his feet to the carriage.
Although this cannot ensure safety, it can ensure that you will live and die with this carriage, at least not falling.
As long as it doesn't fall, the hot air balloon is still very safe. At most, it will float away. If the fuel is gone, it will come down. There is no need to worry about life.
"Master, where are we flying to?"
Li Mu thought to himself, how could I have known that Qi Liu wouldn't listen to me.
But when he said this, Li Zhien would definitely still be scared. Li Mu opened the curtain and looked at the scenery outside. Suddenly he realized that the air current was quite painful today, so he flew and arrived at Chang'an City.
Li Mu pursed his lips and said, "Look, aren't we in the city?"
Li Zhien bravely poked his head out to take a look, and sure enough he saw the city of Chang'an beneath his feet.
At this time, the two of them had risen to about 40 meters, which was not too high. The city wall looked acceptable, but the person looked very small and the sound was inaudible.
There was a cool breeze, and Li Mu was afraid that Li Zhien would be frozen, so he untied his tiger fur and wrapped Li Zhien in it.
Neither of them knew how much panic they had caused to the people on the ground.
Is there a car flying in the sky? A car that can move on its own without horses?
What is going on?
Soaring in the clouds and riding in the mist, the immortal guides the way?
The first person to discover it screamed, and then everyone discovered it. They stopped looking at the lanterns and guessing the lantern riddles, and all looked up at the carriage in the sky.
Li Shimin was having fun with the people at Chengtian Gate and played the first lantern riddle. He heard a series of gasps, which startled him. Could it be that this year's lantern riddles were too difficult and he was frightened?
"Your Majesty!" Eunuch Gao suddenly shouted, his eyes widened, and he pointed forward: "Look! Is that the carriage of Marquis Zhulu?"
Li Shimin looked in the direction of Eunuch Gao's finger and was also confused.
"This boy, ride on, ride on the wind and go back??"
