starling is not a bird

The Lantern Festival on the [-]th day of the first lunar month is a rare opportunity for the ladies in the capital to go out at night and compare clothes and jewelry. Which one is not eager to try?

Dragon dances, lanterns, shadow puppets, and fireworks given by the emperor at Daqianmen are colorful. There is no curfew today. After the festival, the palace will serve glutinous rice balls and powdered fruits to the people. It is lively and full of good fortune. well-being.

Honggu in the suburbs of Beijing walked among the crowds with her six-year-old daughter on her back, and bought countless candy twists along the way. The year is good and the tax is light. Niu, let the girls dress up this year, and when the fleet returns next year, they will be able to live in blue tile houses.

The little girl hugged her mother's neck and rolled her eyes: "Mother, mother, why are you so red-haired and green-eyed?"

Aunt Hong looked over and smiled. Foreign devils, who were rare a few years ago, are now all over the street. They come here with gold and silver pancakes to buy tea and porcelain: "That's a foreigner. They're different from us. Why are you making a fuss? Let's go." , go over and see what kind of clothes they are wearing, it's so weird."

Swinging around, eating, drinking, and watching, the little girl was tired, and clamored to go home in a daze: "Mother, mother, let's go home, tired and sleepy."

: "Wait a little longer, the emperor will come out later, if you get the powdered fruit from him, you will be safe and sound for a year, and your father will also be lucky!" Hong Gu persuaded her daughter.

: "Then let dad come and get it! I want to go home!" The little girl turned her temper and was not happy.

Honggu smiled: "Uncle Emperor likes dolls. Your father has a dark face, so he doesn't like dolls. He really cares about dolls. He is happy when he sees dolls. You will get them when he is happy!"

Indeed, Emperor Ding'an was very rare for his daughters. None of his own daughters were willing to marry to Mongolia. They were at odds with the grassland for a long time, until the southwest and northwest were surrendered, and a lot of gold and silver were traded from outside, which made Mongolia shut up. .

Every time he gave food during the Lantern Festival, when he saw a girl doll, he would specially hand over delicious powdered fruits. The people lived a good life with him, and always felt that it was a blessing to have the food given by the emperor, and they would be highly regarded when they returned. At a glance, he became more and more willing to fight for it.

I don't know if Honggu's daughter got the pink fruit this year. This year's Lantern Festival is very lively. The general of Zhenxi returned triumphantly a few years ago. All the countries in the southwest have submitted their credentials. People brought Fujin closer to the palace, and appointed General Zhenxi's daughter-in-law as Heshuo Gege, who was married to Prince Jian's eldest son by the empress dowager herself.

Emperor Ding'an stood on the top of the city tower, and beside him stood the Empress Empress, both of whom were dressed in large gowns. Emperor Ding'an looked at the Taiping World, and was especially happy. He turned around and smiled at the Empress Empress, "It's not in vain to see this excitement. So many gray hairs!"

The empress stepped forward slightly, held the emperor's hand, her face was full of sweetness: "What did the emperor say! He has good hair, but where is the white hair? Be careful that Prince Min is not happy, and I will give you some Polygonum multiflorum, you Don’t complain if you find it annoying.”

Emperor Ding'an took the Queen's hand: "If I want to come to their house, I will finish the Lantern Festival. I'm afraid I will go to the palace to thank you. Let's go, let's be lazy and go back early. I haven't seen him for a few days. I really miss them."

The queen said, "In ancient and modern times, in China and abroad, I have never seen someone who is better than your brothers. You cling to each other all day long, and you still want to panic? It's been a few days since I saw you?"

The emperor shook the queen's arm: "Oh, Zi Tong is so unvirtuous, what good woman wouldn't persuade your husband to love his siblings, yet you still find fault with me, be careful that mother-in-law divorces you!"

The queen laughed, and the flower hairpin on her head shook accordingly: "Hurry up, hurry up, I know you have a newcomer, so I want Bengong to make room, right? Bengong will carry the prince and go."

The emperor hugged the queen and refused to move: "Oh, take me away too, how can you just take your son away? You really don't love your husband anymore, oh, I'm so pitiful!"

The queen gently pushed the emperor away: "Many people love His Majesty so much in their hearts. How can it be my turn to be a concubine? Don't do this, make people laugh?"

: "Who dares to joke? Reward him with a hundred glutinous rice balls and don't stop." The emperor took the queen's hand and walked down the steps together.

In the palace, Tuanyuan sat at dozens of tables. The jewels on his head and the brocade on his chest reflected the lamps on the ground and the light on the top, which made people's eyes more and more confused, and they didn't know where to look.

Entering the table, sitting down, toasting, toasting, the peaceful years in the peaceful and prosperous age should be so mellow and fragrant like wine. Prince He Shuomin took Prince Chun's hand, praised his younger brothers, and talked about the offerings dedicated to the Supreme Emperor this year. If it is so rare, the emperor found some good job for his son, and it was lively.

Emperor Ding'an was slightly tipsy from the wine, and vaguely saw the empress dowager sitting there, her face was like jade, her cheeks were flushed, and then she turned her head to look at the empress beside her, a dozen or so brothers at the table leaned back, having unreasonable joy, Hehe laughed for a long time, causing the queen to look at him frequently: "But I drank too much, do you want to wash your face?"

Emperor Ding'an shook his head, and said vaguely: "That's it, that's it, I'm quite happy, even if I'm drunk, I'm still happy, really, very happy."
