Fire trees and silver flowers are combined, and the iron locks of the star bridge are opened. The light trees are shining, and the bright moon comes to see people. The traveling prostitutes are all plums, and the singing is all the plums fall. The golden me can't help but the night, and the jade leaks do not urge each other.

On the Lantern Festival, when the lights were first on, Jiang Anyi and Fan Shiben took their family to the imperial city. Along the road was a sea of ​​lights, a sea of ​​people, a sea of ​​laughter, and a sea of ​​gongs and drums. They were close to the imperial city, and the road was full of people watching the lights.

The five gates leading to the imperial city are guarded by Jinwu Guards, and vehicles and horses are not allowed to enter. It is strictly forbidden to carry weapons to ensure the safety of the king and important officials. This is a matter of course. Jiang Anyi and others were foresighted and walked and entered the city through Hanguang Gate. Three entry signs are available for six people to enter. Jiang Anyi and Dong'er brought stones, Fan Shiben and his wife took Fan Zhichang, and there were exactly six people.

When you enter the imperial city, you can see the entire imperial city shining brightly, with the lights and mountains and seas shining brightly, as bright as day. A nearly ten-meter-high lamp building was built in the square in front of Qinzheng Building, with thousands of lamps burning on it, like a mountain of lanterns, lanterns and fireworks, golden and green, and beautiful. Qinzheng Building is decorated with lights to create a colorful dragon and auspiciousness, with a stream of lights and colorful decorations like a fairy mirror. The wealth and honor of the world are nothing more than the imperial family.

The emperor and the empress have not yet climbed the tower, but the performances in the square have begun. The dragon dance, the roller coaster, the dry boat, the search, the rope, the sword, the corners and other operas are dazzling. Hu Xuan dance, the zhezhi dance, the dance of the colorful clothes, and the dance of the colorful clothes makes people linger. The cheers are heard one after another, extending from the imperial city to every corner of Yongchang City. Tonight, Yongchang celebrates sleeplessly.

The entry signs have font sizes, like the imperial examination hall. The numbers are clearly divided into different seats. Of course, the good rankings are occupied by princes, nobles and relatives and important officials in the court. "Shenzi No. 8" is not a good position, Dong'er held Jiang Anyi's arm tightly, but she looked satisfied and intoxicated, and happiness could drip from her smiling face.

At the time of Xu, the emperor brought the princes, concubines and important officials of the harem to the Qinzheng Building, and the celebration officially began. The magical skills compete for strength, singing and dancing, singing and dancing, music is noisy, and the lights are endless. What a fire tree and silver flowers are never sleeping in the sky.

Wei Yishen stood up with wine and took out the pre-prepared congratulations and said, "After the first creation, human relations have been prosperous, we will build the king and the ministers and the ministers and the ministers are the masters and the rich... The emperor is in his upbringing and raising children and creating... The emperor is clear to the emperor, and the emperor is in his heart. The people are in his heart, and all nations are in his own country. The family depends on the government and the court is called many scholars... Fu Rui saw me in the books, and the mansion is set up to look at the carriage. The most people forget that they are in a state of emptiness, and they are calm and scattered. The romance of the emperor is in a state of great importance. The people are in a state of great importance. The people are in a state of great importance. The world is peaceful, the people are in peace, the dust is eternal, and everything goes well."

All the ministers stood up and responded loudly: "I wish my emperor a healthy and healthy body, a permanent country, a prosperous harvest, a peaceful world, a peaceful life in the people, a prosperous business, and a happy dust in the border areas, and all the best."

Shi Fangzhen laughed loudly and raised the golden cup and said, "I respectfully receive the great treasure, my affection is deep in the evening, and rely on the assistance of all the ministers to make peace in the world and the people enjoy their work. I will work with all the ministers, share the same heart and virtue, and each encourages their sincerity and respect the virtue of heaven. On this festival, I will celebrate with you and drink with you."

With the sound of "drinking" sound, elegant music rises, singing and dancing rises to peace.

Prince Shi Chongwei was thinking about the evaluation of the lanterns. Seeing that his father and ministers began to drink, he hurriedly pushed the mother next to him and said, "Mother, it's time to remind his father to be named the 'Light Principal'."

Queen Wang knew that her son had prepared three kinds of lamps. In addition to a group of four Duanzhou gauze lanterns, there was also a delicate and cute pomelo peel lamp. The most eye-catching thing was the rotating revolving lantern. But her son was trying hard to win the "Light Top Summit" in one fell swoop, and she didn't even tell her sister who had the best relationship on weekdays.

He patted his son's head intimately, Shi Chongwei turned his head and said half-coquettishly: "Mother, my son is already an adult, don't treat him as a child anymore."

"Okay, okay, okay, Your Highness, you are all adults, so let's talk to your father by yourself." Queen Wang pretended to be angry, with her eyes full of spoiling.

Shi Chongwei came to his father steadily and bowed and said, "Father, I wish you good health and good luck. Father, should you win the championship with the lamp?"

Shi Fangzhen learned from the queen that the prince had made a rotating novel lamp, and was about to show off his skills and win the championship in one fell swoop. He immediately smiled and said, "You are the crown prince, let you announce the start of the lamp competition."

Shi Chongwei's face was flushed with excitement. He stood in front of his father's table and announced loudly: "My emperor has an order, and the lantern competition begins."

In addition to the prince and grandson, the people who are qualified to participate in this lantern competition are those who are accompanying the prince’s East Palace. The eldest sister of this group is Princess Anshou who has married Wei Youcheng. Hearing his younger brother announced the start of the lantern competition, Princess Anshou was the first to jump out and urged her son-in-law Wei Youcheng next to her: "Hurry, take out our pagoda lights, I want to be the first to play."

The emperor smiled at Wei Xiang and said, "This girl An Shou is crazy and lacks etiquette. I hope Wei Xiang will be more tolerant in my face."

"How can I say this? The princess is innocent and innocent. She is a childlike heart. It is a blessing for Youcheng to marry a princess. The Wei family is very happy. The old minister is extremely satisfied." Wei Yishen smiled and raised his glass, and drank it all with the emperor.

The prince was taken the lead by his sister, so he had to hint that the little eunuch who was holding the lantern should not play first. Anyway, he was confident that today, the "Light No. 1" must be himself, so he just came on the stage in the end and had a final show.

Sure enough, lanterns of different shapes passed by Qinzheng Building, including palace lanterns, beast headlights, flower lanterns, bird lanterns, and lights. These children came from wealthy families and made lamps with luxurious lamps, precious woods, silks and precious shells, and some even placed night pearls in the lamps. Shi Fang was really frugal, and the more he looked at it, he became more and more unhappy. He thought that tonight was a rare celebration, so he forced himself to watch with a smile.

Shi Chongjie walked past Shi Fangzhen with a paper rabbit lamp. Among these lamps, Shi Chongjie's rabbit lamp was inconspicuous and even a little crooked. Shi Chongjie pouted and looked a little angry. Shi Fangzhen called out to his second son and asked, "Jie'er, did you make this lamp yourself?"

First, Shi Chongjie bowed in a good manner: "I have reported to my father, this lamp was taught by the mother's mother. The child was clumsy and had several of them, all of which were crooked. I can only choose the best one to participate in the competition. Please forgive me."

As he said that, Shi Chongjie remembered his little hand that was pierced by bamboo thorns when he was pricking the lantern. His nose felt sore and tears fell down.

Shi Fangzhen stood up, came to the second son, pulled his little hand, and was moved when he saw the wounds on his little hand. He leaned over and picked up Shi Chongjie, signaled to the eunuch to lift the lantern, and smiled and said, "Jie'er, among these lamps, the father likes the lamp you have the most. Your filial piety touched the father."

The emperor spoke, and everyone thought, first of all, Queen Wang changed her color and glared at Huang Shufei beside her with her eyes slanted.

Concubine Huang Shu's face was quiet, and she could not see any abnormality, but she was secretly happy. Eunuch Huang Xi advised her to ask Jie'er to troll the lamp with her own hands, not to look good or luxury. She had the intention of this. It seemed that Huang Xi had a very thorough understanding of the emperor's mind. With him assisting Jie'er, she might achieve great things. The face of Queen Wang naturally saw it, but she had not done anything beyond her limits, so what could she do to herself?

After thinking for a moment, Queen Wang understood the emperor's intentions and secretly asked the palace maid to tell the prince that she would remove the four gorgeous Duanzhou gauze lanterns. The prince was already twelve years old and understood the situation just now, so the queen mother immediately followed the message.

After everyone left, the prince asked the eunuch to open the way with two small pomelo lights, and walked behind him with two unlit lanterns. The two lanterns were made by craftsmen, one was an eagle flying in the sky, and the other was a horse galloping.

The two pomelo lamps had a very strong aura, which immediately attracted Shi Fangzhen's attention. He waved his hand and signaled the prince to place the two pomelo lamps on the table.

"This thing is cute and elegant. Who made it?"

"It was presented by Zhou Shi Zhou Cunchu's mother." The prince repeated Zhou Cunchu's original words, and Shi Fangzhen nodded repeatedly and praised: "It is rare for Zhou Qing to have such a virtuous mother. I have added his mother to the sixth rank of An, and I will send the Ministry of Rites to Zhou Mansion to read the imperial decree tomorrow."

Zhou Cunchu himself was from the sixth rank Yuanwailang, and I became the sixth rank Anren. This joy came suddenly, and I wonder how Zhou Yuanwailang, who was determined to climb up, should be happy.

Princess Anshou couldn't stand the good things. Seeing these two pomelo lamps being delicate and cute, she hurriedly said, "Brother of the prince, these two lamps are so cute, please give them to me." She glared at the prince as she said, and she was very fond of not giving me a good look.

The prince smiled and said, "Sister likes it, just take it, but there are two lamps. Sister takes one and leave one for Sister Anyang." Princess Anyang and the third prince Shi Chongren were born to Concubine Liu. Princess Anyang is only five years old this year and is leaning in her mother's arms, and she also stares at her with her eyes. Shi Chongren is one year younger than Shi Chongjie and just walked by with a pumpkin lantern.

Shi Fangzhen was very happy and said with a smile: "Since the prince moved into the Eastern Palace to study, he has been very wise and kind, filial and respectful. I am very happy. I have sent an order to give the scholarship of the Chongwenguan Bachelor and the scholarship of the direct scholar to three months to show me the reward."

Concubine Liu smiled and said to Queen Wang: "The prince is kind and filial, and has deep affection and friendship. They are all well-instructed by the empress. I would like to thank the prince for Anyang."

Queen Wang smiled complacently, Shi Chongjie's shadow dissipated a lot, and said in harmony: "The prince's kindness, filial piety and righteousness are the blessing of his subjects and the blessing of the country. I am also pleased."

Shi Chongjie stood beside the emperor and liked the pomelo lamp very much. Seeing that the prince's brother gave the lamp to his sisters and it was difficult to fight, he had to look at the two lanterns held in the prince's hand with curious eyes. Shi Fangzhen also found that the prince was holding two lamps in his hand and asked curiously: "Why are these two lamps not lit?"

Zi smiled mysteriously and signaled the eunuch to hand over two candles, lit them, and put them down on the base of the lamp. After a while, the lampshade turned, causing the eagle on the lampshade to fly and the horse galloped. Everyone opened their eyes in surprise, and Shi Chongjie jumped and clapped his hands, "It's flying, the horse is running, it's so fun."

"Give these two lamps to Brother Jie and one to Brother Ren." The prince put his hands behind his back and assigned them. Princess Anshou leaned closer with a strange smile and muttered softly: "Your Highness, can I exchange the pomelo lamp for this moving lamp?"

When Shi Chongjie heard this, he quickly grabbed the flying eagle. Shi Chongwei smiled and said, "Sister, I still have it in the palace. I'll go to the East Palace to get it later. Let this one be given to Xiao Ren'er."

"What is this lamp called? Who made it?" Shi Fangzhen stared at the lamp for a long time and asked.

"This lamp is called the revolving lantern, and it was made by Jiang Anyi, the Jiangshi."

"This kid doesn't do it well and put all his thoughts into strange tricks and tricks." Shi Fangzhen cursed.

After dispatching the lamp, Shi Chongwei waited for his father to announce the result of the lamp competition. In his opinion, the lamp kui was the one who belonged to him.

Shi Fangzhen stood up and said, "Today's lantern competition has surprise me. My two sons have made me feel relieved. The prince is kind and his second son is loyal and filial, especially his brothers and brothers. There is a saying among the people: "A harmonious family will be prosperous. I see the scene of my great Zheng Xingsheng from my children. Wei'er, Jie'er, and Ren'er. You must remember what happened today. In the future, brothers will work together, and my great Zheng Xingsheng is just around the corner."
