Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

They walked a bit forward, and suddenly there was a neat sound of kicking and uniform folk singing in the center of Suzaku Heng Street. Songs have been handed down from the sacrificial singing and dancing in ancient times. This form was formed in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it developed to its peak in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Ke and the others walked on the side of the street, in the center of Suzaku Heng Street. There were at least a thousand people. They did not distinguish between merchants, farmers, and even some humble scholars. People from small families joined them and walked in a uniform manner.

The singing voices come from the most simple ballads such as the "Book of Songs" and the local area, but the beat under their feet is quite rhythmic.

There was a joyful smile on everyone's face, people around were constantly pouring in, and people who were tired of singing kept leaving the entire queue.

At this moment in Chang'an City, among the densely packed pedestrians, it really did. The people walked side by side with the prince. Although some wealthy nobles would bring their servants and servants to separate them from the people, it was only a human wall. The house servants and their masters are also close together.

Because there are too many people.

Many Jinwu Guards lined up and walked among the crowd with difficulty, and today's crowd did not avoid them, because it was impossible to avoid them.

Li Yan looked at everything around her curiously. The number of times she came to Chang'an was one of the few, but it was not the Shangyuan Festival. Although the Shangyuan Festival in the local area is also lively, it is incomparable with Chang'an.

Yang Anning and the others took it for granted, after all, they were the protagonists in previous years.

Li Ke and his team's goal is the Youjian Mall located in Shanhefang, because today's Youjian Mall will have the grandest performance in the entire Chang'an City, not only fireworks, but also improved and invented by Li Ke. Spread the word: strike iron flower!

Near the Suzaku Gate, the lanterns on both sides became more and more dense, as many as a dozen lanterns were connected in series and hung on high wooden stakes, forming a unique street lamp in this era.

When Li Ke and the others arrived at Youjian Mall, the side of Youjian Mall close to Suzaku Street had already been vacated by a human wall lined up by guards. This was the intersection of Suzaku Street and Suzaku Heng Street, and the north side was Suzaku Gate. .

The number of people here has gathered at least tens of thousands of people, because everyone wants to know what performances will be held here today, and many people are waiting. There is a shopping mall that belongs to the property of His Highness King Qin, and there is a shopping mall that sells things from Chang'an City. The most expensive.

Ordinary people are not rejected here to visit, but there are not many people who dare to go in. After all, if the things inside are damaged, they cannot afford to pay.

But everyone has a subconscious belief that the richer the business, the better the lights and the more exciting the show.

Otherwise, what is the open space at the entrance of the shopping mall prepared for today?Moreover, a wooden high platform one or two feet high was built in the center of the open space.

Li Yan was already dazzled by seeing all kinds of lanterns, dense crowds of people, and countless people singing and dancing. Every business is closed today, and many businesses have prepared small gifts and various lantern riddles at the entrances. activity.

No other city in the world can compare to Chang'an City at this moment.

Walking to the main entrance of Youjian Mall, Li Shimin and the others are already here. Today, Li Shimin and the others have changed into regular clothes, dressed like ordinary dignitaries, and they did not go up to the box, just outside the street. stand by.

This is also an annual tradition. On the Lantern Festival, it is natural to have fun with the people.

Empress Changsun, Concubine Yang, and Chang Le are all here today. This is a huge team.

When Li Ke arrived, Li Shimin and the others were all waiting.

"Hey, Prince Qin is here, and we are all waiting for you." Li Shimin said with a smile after seeing Li Ke.

Li Ke: "..."

"Ke'er, have you gone to pick up someone?" Queen Changsun asked with a smile on her face.

"Yeah." Li Ke nodded.

"Where is the person? Call me here and show it to the queen mother." Empress Changsun said with a smile.

Li Ke paused for a moment, then turned around and waved to Li Yan and the others who were on the periphery.

Li Yan was stunned for a moment, but hurriedly took off her gloves and walked over, Yang Anning and the others definitely couldn't come over.

"My daughter, Li Yan, has met His Majesty, Her Royal Highness the Queen..." After Li Yan walked over, she hurriedly saluted and greeted Li Shimin and others.

"Excuse me, there are too many people today, so there is no need to greet them one by one." Li Shimin looked at Li Yan curiously, and stopped her from continuing to greet.

I have to say, this kid really is just like Lao Tzu said, he is a promiscuous master, just look at his appearance, he is not bad.

"Yes." Li Yan replied again.

"Come, come and show me." Empress Changsun waved to Li Yan.

Li Yan paused, then walked forward, Empress Changsun didn't shy away from it, but directly reached out and grabbed Li Yan's little hand, and said with some distress: "Look at this cold hand, there are chilblains, Ke'er People don't understand how to feel sorry for others, this is still a little lady, you let her come and go in the wind and snow. Sister, come and see."

Concubine Yang who was next to her also came over and looked at Li Yan, especially when she saw the skin on Li Yan's face and the frostbite on her hands. Concubine Yang, who knew the cause and effect, also felt a little distressed. Now which girl who has not left the cabinet can be her husband? My family suffers from this, and this child is too painful.

"Do you have gloves? Put them on quickly. This frostbite has to keep warm. She is a good boy." Concubine Yang is used to pampering others. She loves Li Ke, and subconsciously even Li Yan also loves it. After all, what this girl did, which one Are you not moved?A lot of things that men can't hold on to.

Looking at the scene over there, Li Ke was stunned. He had thought about it a little bit now, because the scene in front of him was so familiar. Once in his last life, he accidentally brought an ordinary female colleague home for a meal. , His parents almost behaved like this.

Li Ke wanted to ask, but he couldn't ask on this occasion.

"His Royal Highness King Qin, let's start, let them chat." Li Shimin next to him glanced at Li Ke with a smile and said.

Li Ke: "..."

What else can he say, he can only look at the guard next to him and say loudly: "Quick, didn't you hear what His Majesty the Emperor said? Hurry up and start."

Li Chengqian next to him looked at his father and third younger brother speechlessly. One of you opened your mouth and closed your mouth, His Majesty the King of Qin, and the other opened your mouth and closed your mouth, Your Majesty the Emperor. What's wrong with this?

Following Li Ke's words, the drummers who had already been prepared on both sides began to beat the drums in an instant. The dull drum sound instantly quieted the surrounding crowd, and the iron flower players on the central wooden high platform also quickly started to move up.

When the first spoonful of molten iron was hit by a wooden board, the sky was instantly covered by fire, trees and silver flowers, and everyone was stunned by the splendid scene in front of them.

Li Ke subconsciously turned his head and glanced behind him. Li Yan and Yang Anning, who was called by Empress Changsun at some point, were all standing not far behind Li Ke.

At this moment, illuminated by the bright iron flowers, Li Ke suddenly remembered Xin Qiji's "Sapphire Case": Looking back suddenly, the man was in a dimly lit place.
