The structure of a hot air balloon is very special. Even if it suddenly flames out, it will not drop rapidly, but will land very slowly to the ground, which is slower than the normal descent speed of a parachute. As long as the rider does not panic and does not seek death, the natural landing is just
There is no danger in the matter of time.
Although it seemed very stupid not to remove the pressure relief valve, since he came up and his life was not in danger, Li Mu was not in a hurry to get down. After all, this experience was not easy to come by, and looking at Li Zhien's appearance, except when the carriage was shaking just now, he looked a little
Apart from being scared, everyone is very happy.
Today is her big day. She is happy, and Li Mu is also happy. The two of them are wrapped in a fur, whispering to each other. If they were not in mid-air, it is really awkward, and I am afraid they would have already started to burn.
Just when Li Mu pouted and wanted to kiss Li Zhien, a loud shout suddenly came from under his feet: "Li Mu! Where are you going?!"
"His Majesty?"
Li Mu was startled, and quickly let go of Li Zhien, subconsciously looking left and right. He was now more than thirty meters above the ground, what could he see? Only then did he realize that he was still in mid-air, and then he opened the curtain and looked down.
This is an incredible sight!
Li Mu poked his head out, and all the people outside Chengtian Gate were in a panic. Everyone heard Li Shimin's shout just now. He was calling Li Mu. Li Mu was the Marquis of Zhulu. There was no one in Chang'an City who didn't know this. Everyone was thinking
He also muttered, "Isn't Zhuluhou happy to have Lin'er today? Your Majesty is confused, how could it be him?"
That is a carriage flying in the sky, it must be the vehicle of gods, Zhulu Hou is just a mortal!
But when Li Mu poked his head in, the people's thoughts suddenly changed. Although they couldn't see his face clearly, when His Majesty called Li Mu's name, the gods in the carriage poked their heads in. Doesn't it mean that this person is Zhuluhou?
Can Zhuluhou fly?
Reminiscent of the rumor that Li Mu was the reincarnation of a banished immortal that spread some time ago. The people immediately believed it to be true, and some even knelt down to pray for blessings. The scene was once chaotic.
Li Shimin was upset in his heart. He carried out this Chengtianmen activity in order to build up his prestige. Simply put, it was a face-saving project to show his closeness to the people and to gain limelight. Li Mu's extraordinary skill captured everyone's attention.
Now, where is his limelight anymore?
But at the same time, he was not sure what was going on. After all, he had never seen anyone fly into the sky, so he couldn't help but wonder, could Li Mu really be an immortal?
If Li Mu is really an immortal, is he leaving?
No, he just had a child. Even if he were an immortal, he wouldn't leave at this time, right? Could he leave the orphans and widows in the mortal world?
He really couldn't contain his curiosity, so Li Shimin shouted this.
Unexpectedly, Li Mu was actually called out!
When Li Mu saw the scene below, he secretly thought that it was terrible.
How could he not know Li Shimin's character? If he couldn't find a suitable reason to steal his limelight today, he would have to make up for it sooner or later.
What to do?
Li Mu rolled his eyes and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty! Can you hear me??"
As the carriage slowly floated past, Li Shimin pulled his neck and shouted: "You hear me! How did you fly up? Come down!"
"Your Majesty! I came up, but I can't get down! Can you send a group of forbidden troops to follow me? I'm afraid I will be lost!"
"How did you get up there?"
"I..." Li Mu paused and said, "I can't say that this is my latest invention! Find someone to follow me first. After I come down tomorrow, I will go to the palace to tell you..."
The voice became quieter and quieter, and Li Mu had already drifted away.
Many people wanted to chase the hot air balloon, but they were blocked by the huge palace wall and could not follow. There was another loud noise.
Li Shimin gave a wry smile and waved his hand, and a middle-aged general in full body armor came over.
"Chang He, send a team of people to follow. Wait for Li Mu to come down from the sky and take him directly into the palace."
"promise."
Chang He took the order and left. Li Shimin glanced at the chaos under the Chengtian Sect, sighed again, and said to Gao Gong: "Hang up the three lantern riddles, and give the reward to whoever guesses it. I'm tired.
Now, let’s go back to the palace to rest.”
Eunuch Gao responded, but he knew in his heart that Li Shimin was robbed of the limelight and would lose face if he stayed, so he might as well go back to the palace and rest early.
It's interesting to think about this. This guy Li Mu always appears when he doesn't expect it. How did he fly up? He is more than 30 meters high and has no use of strength. He must not be able to achieve it with Qinggong. Could it be that he
Really a fairy?
Eunuch Gao couldn't figure it out either. Seeing that Li Shimin had gone far away, he quickly gave instructions and followed him at a trot.
…
Pingkangfang.
The Oiran election has entered its final stage, and the seed contestants from each house have shown their special skills. Those who can become the number one in Pingkangfang are not easy ones. The votes of each house have always been very anxious, with the most and the least.
, the difference is only a few dozen votes, and anyone is likely to win the final victory.
Since Li Chun Yuan survived the most Flying Flower Orders in yesterday's competition, Li Chun Yuan came to the finale today, and Jin Chen was the last one to perform among all the top performers.
This is actually very disadvantageous.
Everyone has only one Flying Flower Token in his hand. Even if the performance is not good, as long as it can impress the audience, he can get a batch of Flying Flower Tokens. And later, even if the person who voted in front regrets, his Flying Flower Token
No more.
Only a small number of people, about one hundred and eighty people, who have participated in the oiran election several times, know the inside story and will leave the Feihua Order until the end.
These people have become the key to victory or defeat.
"When will the bright moon come? Ask the blue sky with wine. I wonder what year it is in the palace in the sky?" A young man dressed as a scholar recited it again, as if he was still recalling Jin Chen's performance just now, and praised: "What wonderful words and phrases, how can
He must be a generous person to write such generous rhetoric! Brother Ziqian, I heard that this poem was written by Zhuluhou Li Mu, alas! It seems that you and I are not as good as him. I can only add to this year's imperial examination.
Second place on the list, you can only settle for the top spot!"
"Ha!" Another scholar, who was called "Zi Qian" brother, chuckled and said, "Brother Huaiwen, are you too flattering to that guy? Have you forgotten that when you and I entered the city that day,
Did he hit us in the car and hit us with mud? This poem sounds good at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it’s really bad! Didn’t you listen to him?
He said, "I want to ride the wind back home, but I'm afraid of beautiful buildings and beautiful buildings," as if he can fly! Do you really think he is an immortal?"
"It doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense! How can such a person be the top pick in high school? If you think his words are good, it seems that your taste is not very good either! In my opinion, I will be the top pick this year."
Before the word "中" came out of his mouth, Brother Ziqian suddenly seemed to have had a stroke, his mouth was open and he could not speak.
Brother Huaiwen was puzzled. Why was this guy speechless in the middle of his bragging? Could it be that there was a leak of air? He couldn't help but ask: "Brother Ziqian, what's wrong with you?"
"You, what do you think that is?" Brother Ziqian raised his hand and pointed to the sky: "Is it the carriage that splashed mud on you and me that day?"
"Yeah! Exactly, why did it fly into the sky? Could it be that poem!"
Brother Huaiwen reacted and suddenly shouted: "Brothers, look at the sky quickly. That is Zhuluhou's carriage. He is really an immortal. He is riding the wind back!"
Li Mu's carriage is the only one in Chang'an City. It not only has four wheels, but is also wide enough to accommodate a bed. Basically everyone recognizes it. When Brother Huaiwen called him this, everyone recognized it and exclaimed.
Speak up!
He is really a god! No wonder he is too powerful to be human! No wonder he can write such a poem, it turns out he is a god!
"Brother Ziqian, it seems you are wrong!" Brother Huaiwen was very proud and threw the Flying Flower Token into the box in Lichun Courtyard. Others saw this and followed suit. Why should you hesitate? Seeing is believing.
Got it!
Almost all of the remaining one hundred and eighty votes went into the box in Lichun Court. Jin Chen, who was already in the top three, jumped to the first place and won the position of this year's oiran without any suspense!
Li Mu, who is flying in the sky, still doesn't know about this. He is studying how to make the hot air balloon turn around. Because he wants to fly to the British government to see how Li Siwen is doing.
Counting time, it’s time to “send to the bridal chamber” now.
Suddenly Li Mu remembered something, he took Li Zhien's hand and said with a smile: "Zhien, let me tell you something."
"What, what's wrong?" Li Zhien was also thinking about the bridal chamber. She was thinking, how can she have a bridal chamber in heaven? She was lost in thought when suddenly Li Mu spoke, startling her.
"Do you still remember when I got married to my wife?"
"Remember." How could she not remember that Li Mu drank too much that day and pushed her against the wall and kissed her.
"I actually remembered that I kissed you that day. I just pretended to be stupid and didn't say anything."
"I knew it!" Li Zhien snorted and said, "I'll tell my wife to go tomorrow!"
Li Mu smiled, he held Li Zhien in his arms, shook him slightly, and said: "Silly girl, don't you know that you are a wife? Our wife is truly as wise as a fool, and has forbearance. My thoughts, you
She actually knows all my thoughts. She loves me and pities you, so she just pretends that she doesn’t know anything."
"It's not like she has any scheming," Li Mu paused and laughed again: "I can't say, sometimes, I think she is foresight, but sometimes, it's like an afterthought.
, but I always feel as if I can’t hide my thoughts from her.”
Li Mu looked at Li Zhien and said, "Do you know the feeling of being seen through by someone? No matter how you explain or cover up, it's all in vain?"
"I..." The speaker may not mean it, but the listener does.
The closer the day of marriage was, the more irritated Li Zhien felt. She was irritated not only because Li Mu had not expressed anything, but also because she had not been honest with Li Mu about many things.
It's not that she doesn't want to say it, but she doesn't know how to say it. She doesn't know where to start, and she doesn't know how to explain it. And what she fears most is that Li Mu will have a different view of her if he finds out about her.
Would he feel that he had a purpose in approaching him?
Does he feel that she wants to marry him just to take advantage of him?
Questions like these bothered Li Zhien and made her more and more irritable. Sometimes she thought, it would be better to just say it and be happy. No matter what Li Mu decided, she would accept it.
But as soon as the idea came to her mind, she immediately regretted it. As long as she thought that Li Mu might get angry and drive her away, she felt that she couldn't bear it, and she couldn't even survive.
Sometimes she also thought, why not just forget it. It was actually quite good to forget her life experience and just think that she was really a little girl who was sold as a maid from Silla and accompany Li Mu happily.
But there was another voice in her heart telling her that there were some things that she couldn't escape.
One day, the responsibility will fall on her. She can escape for a while, but not forever. Because the blood of the royal family remains in her veins.
"Master, me"
Li Zhien looked into Li Mu's eyes and suddenly spoke. She couldn't help it anymore. She didn't want to deceive her lover anymore. She wanted to obey her heart and tell everything. But when the words came to her mouth, it felt like something was stuck in her throat.
It's hard to say it verbally.
Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "Have you thought about it?"
Li Zhien did not answer. Her reaction had already given Li Mu the answer.
How can you think about it well? If you think about it well, there will be nothing to worry about.
"If you haven't thought about it well, then don't say it. No matter who you are, after today, you will be my woman. Since I married you, I have to bear it whether it is a blessing or a curse!"
Li Mu hugged Li Zhien tightly, leaned against her ear, and said, "Who prevented me from escaping the confusion of this little fox like you?"
"Owner!"
Li Zhien cried loudly. She really had countless grievances that she could not express. The confusion and guilt in her heart were superimposed, and the tears could not be stopped.
"Okay, it's your big day, why are you crying? Why don't you put on your wedding dress and let me see it?"
Hearing Li Mu mention the wedding dress, Li Zhien couldn't hide her shyness. She glanced at Li Mu, bit her lip and whispered: "Husband, can you turn around first?"
"What are you turning around for?" Li Mu smiled mischievously, hooked Li Zhien's chin and said, "I have to take a good look at my little lady, has she grown up?"
Li Zhien said shyly: "Have you not seen it a long time ago?"
"At that time, you could only look at it but not eat it. Now you can eat it. Of course, you have to look at it carefully and carefully."
Li Zhien immediately understood what Li Mu meant, and his heart couldn't help but beat. He was still in the air at this time, could he be in this sky?
Will this work?
Seemingly sensing Li Zhien's doubts, Li Mu leaned into her ear and whispered: "Let's be gentle, it should be fine. This is a unique opportunity in heaven, and no one can compare with you."
Li Zhien pursed her lips, but finally couldn't resist the "unique" temptation, and nodded heavily. She raised her head and glanced at Li Mu, put her hands on her waist, and untied the belt...
