Chapter 127: "bargain"

At the beginning of the first month of the first month, the pen was closed, but there were actually not many things to do.
In the first year of the middle school, Qi Yang and Lu Qipei were considered to have stolen a day of leisure, and they went to the palace to visit the emperor and the prince. After the third year, there were relatives walking around - of course, they were all Qi Yang's relatives. The relationship was mediocre, but unexpectedly got along well with the elders. Therefore, many emperor uncles or aunts have to visit during the New Year.
During the busy time, the new year was almost over, and when the writing was started in the ninth dynasty, everyone had to converge and regain value. However, it is obvious that although everyone who came back after the Chinese New Year is full of energy, it is difficult to focus on official business for a while.
Dali Temple Qing was tolerant. Seeing this situation, he only said: "No matter, the year after the Yuan Dynasty is over, so let's relax these few days."
But it's not. The pen is written on the ninth day of the ninth day, and the yuan is fifteen, but the lantern festival started from the thirteenth. In addition, the officials on the day of the Yuan Dynasty could take a day off and go back to accompany their families to play and watch the lanterns. Although the people who are returning now have just taken their annual leave, they are still thinking about the excitement of the Shangyuan Lantern Festival. Where can they really take their heart? Moreover, Dali Temple has had good luck this year, and there are no urgent cases to deal with recently.
Because of Dali Temple Qing's words, the atmosphere in Dali Temple has been particularly relaxed these few days, and once in a while, colleagues will meet for drinks. Lu Qipei has also been there twice, and the rest of the time he returned home early.
A few days passed, and the thirteenth of the first lunar month began, and lanterns were gradually hung up on the street.
There is no light without a moon but no entertainment, and a month without a light does not count as spring. The Shangyuan Festival is also called the Lantern Festival, and it is the most lively festival after New Year's Eve. On this day, not only will the city be full of lights and colorful flowers, even the emperor will show up to watch the lanterns and enjoy the people.
The lanterns need to be made and adjusted, so generally from the thirteenth, every household will hang exquisite lanterns in front of the door.
The wealthier people will prepare more carefully, and some have the custom of "fighting the lanterns"-each family will make every effort to make the most beautiful lanterns and hang them out, allowing passers-by to judge. If the lanterns are beautifully made to attract people to stop, the owner will also be with You Rongyan. It is even said that the more people stop and watch the lanterns outside their door during Yuan Festival, the more popularity and blessings will be brought to the owner of this house.
Whether the legend is reliable and not to mention, in short, there are more people fighting lanterns. The lanterns displayed by the various houses are trying their best to attract more people to stop by.
The princess mansion is also playing lanterns these past two days. It is just made by the small households next to it, or different from some wealthy people who buy them directly. It is a group of top craftsmen who gathered Liang Guozhong. Whether it's the fireworks on New Year's Eve or the lanterns of Shangyuan, no artifacts from the generals are ordinary products.
When Lu Qipei was going back home, he saw that the two red lanterns at the door were replaced with peach lanterns.
Qi Yang is also persistent. It has been for several years. Every year the peach lanterns hang outside the Shangyuan Princess House. Thanks to the skill of the craftsman who will be the supervisor, the peach lanterns made every year are different, and after the princess's preferences are determined, the peach lanterns will become better.
Lu Qipei also likes peach blossoms. Even if he didn't like it before, he became like it after he made love with Qi Yang. She took a few more glances at the peach lantern under the eaves, and then stepped into the palace gate in a happy mood. When she returned to the courtyard, she saw Qi Yang for the first time, only to find that the other party was looking at Lu Sheng with a dumbfounded expression, so she couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"
Seeing her coming back, Qi Yang had to say to her: "Today, I will send you many lanterns. You should have seen them outside. It's just that A Sheng doesn't like these lanterns, so she wants a rabbit lantern."
Rabbit lanterns are actually the most common kind of lanterns. Every year, many vendors sell them along the lantern festival road, and they are most popular with children. The superintendent will naturally also make a rabbit lamp, and it is extremely delicate. It's just that the Princess Mansion does not have a righteous little master, and others are not sure about Qi Yang's attitude towards Lu Sheng. Naturally, no one will send such children to the Princess Mansion to be safe.
After Lu Sheng raised rabbits, she especially liked rabbits. She didn't know where to learn about rabbit lights, so she wanted one. This is not a difficult requirement, even if it is troublesome and unwilling to be a prisoner, it is not a big deal to go out and buy one.
Lu Qipei was more direct after listening, and took off the fur clothes he wore when going out and said, "A Sheng likes rabbit lights, so let people prepare things. I will make one with A Sheng."
Qi Yang was not surprised at all when he heard the words. Seeing that the maid was ordered to prepare materials, she held her chin and looked at the person in front of her, but said quietly: "I like peach lanterns."
The peach lanterns are hung outside the princess mansion every year, so the whole city knows you like it. Do you want to emphasize it?
Lu Qipei's gaze at Qi Yang was comprehensible, and he smiled with a smile: "Okay, then make another peach lantern."
Lanterns start to hang on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, and the fifteenth yuan is not far away.
The government office, which had just started writing only two days ago, was off again, and Lu Qipei had to spend time at home making lights, but Qi Yang took the time to go to the palace again. When he came back, he looked relaxed, and said to Lu Qipei: "The emperor's body has improved a lot. This year I should be able to go upstairs and watch the lights."
The emperor lived deep in the palace, talking about having fun with the people, but there were very few when he could really contact the people. This is one thing. The emperor will personally go up to the high buildings in the palace to light up the lights on the Shangyuan Festival, and pray for the people-although it is still far away, but at that time the high buildings are brightly lit, and the people can see the shadows of the people. , And the emperor can also have a panoramic view of half of the capital from a tall building.
This is a rare opportunity for the emperor and the people to meet. In the beginning, the emperor brought the queen to the building to pray for blessings, but when the queen passed away, the emperor began to bring the prince to the building, and made the prince stand in front of the people early.
And this habit continued until four years ago. The prince returned from the First World War in Northern Xinjiang and hurt his foundation, and became a little sicker every winter. Not to mention whether he was ill during the Shangyuan period, even if he was in good health at that time, the emperor would not dare to let him go upstairs easily.
After all, the weather hadn't warmed up in the Yuan Dynasty, and the wind was strong on the tall buildings. If the prince fell ill while lighting the lamp, it would not be easy to end it-this was not just as simple as the prince's illness, the prince's weakness would also be completely exposed. To be smaller, it may cause the people in Beijing to fluctuate. When it is larger, Liang's inability to succeed will also give neighboring countries a chance.
Because of all these concerns, the prince hadn't accompany the emperor to ascend the building for several years. However, this year is different. Although the prince's body has deteriorated again because of the previous serious illness, the emperor is also old.
The old emperor didn't know how long he could go, so he wanted to try his best to help his son on the right path.
It is necessary for the prince who has been absent for several years to re-enter the building. It was just that the emperor's illness a year ago not only ruined his own body, but also dragged down the prince's body. When I saw him on New Year's Eve, the prince was still sick, but he was able to go upstairs to watch the lights after half a month. Obviously, he was also trying to recover these days.
This is obviously good news for Qi Yang. Lu Qipei didn't particularly care. She showed the peach lantern that she had made to Qi Yang: "I didn't make it as a supervisor. Aning is aggrieved. Is it okay to carry this lantern out tonight?"
Qi Yang immediately left the recovered prince behind her head. She happily took over the lantern made by Lu Qipei herself, and her heart was too biased: "What's wrong? It's obviously that Ngapoi did a better job and will do it. The janitor’s peach lanterns are only worth hanging at the door!"
There was no one else but Qi Yang speaking sweetly and confidently.
Lu Qipei listened very well, with a gentle smile on the corner of his lips, looking at Qi Yang's eyes as bright as stars.
Qi Yang couldn't hold back when he saw it. He was bewildered by the beauty for a while. He didn't care about the maids in the room. He leaned forward and kissed her lips. Without waiting for Lu Qipei's response, he withdrew and returned, making a perfunctory excuse: "This is your reward."
Lu Qipei glanced around when he heard the words. The maids who had already blushed and bowed their heads seemed to have eyes on their foreheads, and then quietly retreated. Seeing that there were no others around, Lu Qipei grabbed Qi Yang's waist and kissed him back. Her kiss was a bit more lingering than Qi Yang's before, and finally let go of the humanity: "My craftsmanship is ordinary. Your Highness is paid more. I'll give you some back."
Qi Yang pursed his lips slightly, his eyes moisturized, even when he caught a glimpse of Lu Qipei's thin, pale lips staining his lips. She didn't feel ashamed, only that the bright red color matched the other side's jade-like face, which was unexpectedly unique.
Anyway, Qi Yang was tempted by the other party just now. Qi Yang was not polite at this time. She provoked Lu Qipei's chin with one hand and hummed softly: "This princess says it is good, and it is worth it. How can you bargain?!"
While speaking, the princess kissed again, her eyes a little deeper than before.
The two of them were just like playing around, playing the trick of "bargaining" under the guise of "bargaining"... Fortunately, no one else heard their conversation, otherwise such naive words would scare many people. Eyeballs.
Fortunately, the game stopped before going further, and Lu Qipei hugged the person for a while before reluctantly letting it go.
Qi Yang used her thumb to clean her lips, and then smiled and said, "Actually, Apei puts on her lips and it looks good. Your lip color is too light." She said, holding up Lu Qipei's. Face: "When can I put on another makeup look for you?"
Lu Qipei has always had makeup on her face. Since she was a child, she and Lu Qi have been like ninety-nine percent of them, and they have been deliberately modified. Then as she grows older, she needs to add a bit of edges and corners to her originally overly soft face and become more like a man. Just grooming is not enough, and she has to deliberately put on makeup. It's just that after dressing up for so long, Qi Yang has never seen the appearance of her real daughter's house, and he can't help feeling for a while.
Of course, Lu Qipei heard this feeling. After pulling back the strands of hair scattered around Qi Yang's ears, she thought for a while and said: "If you really want to see it, come back at night, whatever you want."
