"Wow, look, it's such a big star flying!"

Countless people around the square saw this strange lantern that had never been seen before, and tens of thousands of people began to exclaim.

"This must be the blessing lantern mentioned in the newspaper!" A flexible scholar shouted in surprise.

"It must be good. The sky lantern is to fly to the heavenly court to pray for blessings from the Emperor of Heaven and the gods in heaven. Let's kowtow quickly!"

"Yes, kowtow to the sky lantern, and pray to the gods in the sky to bless us and our houses with peace!"

"Pray for the gods to bless my whole family with peace and safety!"

"Pray for the gods to bless me to make a fortune next year!"

"Pray for the gods to bless me to pick up a beautiful little lady tonight!"

...

Amid all kinds of strange prayers, tens of thousands of people were kneeling down around the square soon. As the Kongming lantern flew higher and higher, the streets and alleys of Xianyang were soon seen. The crowds of people kneeled down in groups and began to recite various blessing words.

"It's really amazing. A small piece of fire candle can actually make the lantern fly. Qinghe Hou really has magical powers!" Feng Quji looked up at Kong Minglan, who was flying higher and farther in the night sky, muttering to himself with a dull face, pulling his beard.

The emperor, Meng Yi and a group of imperial concubines, princesses and princesses are all the same. They all have various dull expressions on their faces, and they all look up at the lights in the sky.

"Your Majesty, you can also put the blessing lanterns in your hand. The hundreds of lamps will sifte into the air together. This will not only add a celebration atmosphere to the Mid-Autumn Festival, but also allow millions of people in Xianyang to know your Majesty's wishes to pray for the country and the people!" Chen Xu withdrew his eyes and smiled at Qin Shihuang.

"Not bad, good, all my dear friends will release the lanterns of blessings, and pray to the gods in the sky to bless me, the prosperity of the Great Qin Kingdom!" Qin Shihuang came to his senses and his face became extremely surprised.

After the emperor completely shook the lantern in his hand and took it away, Chen Xu helped lit the candle in the hanging basket. After the silk bag slowly swelled up, he guided the emperor to let go slowly. The lantern, which said that the country and the people were safe, also flew shakingly.

After the Emperor's Kongming lantern floated, Meng Yi and Feng Quji's lanterns had also been lit. Under Chen Xu's guidance, three lanterns floated one after another and slowly crossed the roof of the Chaogong Hall. Then, a group of lanterns of the imperial concubines, princesses, Shui Qingrou Ying Shiman and others also began to light candles, rising slowly in the slight night wind. Soon hundreds of Kongming lanterns rose from the center of the square like a brilliant light, flying into the sky under the cool night, and shining with the stars and moon above the night to form a magnificent and beautiful brilliant light.

After the dense lights rose, the noisy tourists in Xianyang knelt on the ground, watching this unprecedented wonder from all directions, and excitedly kowtowed and chanted various prayers.

In the middle of the square, Emperor Qin Shi, Chen Xu and others all looked up at Kongminglanterns flying higher and higher in the sky. They all had different expressions and no one spoke. Some women knelt on the ground like ordinary tourists and kowtowed to pray for blessings, murmured some things that others could not hear.

More than ten minutes later, many Kongming lanterns had flashed and disappeared under the sky, and some burned into a ball of fire in the air and burst out bright flames before falling.

"It's indeed spectacular. I hope the gods can see my thoughts!" Nearly half an hour later, there was almost no other Kongming lantern in the sky. Qin Shihuang then withdrew his eyes and let out a long sigh.

"A sincere heart means spirituality. Your Majesty is the emperor of the human world. Gods of heaven will definitely be able to see what they do!" Chen Xu flattered without any trace.

"What the Queen of Qinghe said is that Your Majesty is so talented that he has achieved the unprecedented imperial career. The Qin Dynasty will surely prosper and prosper. This blessing sky lantern will surely fly to the sky!"

"Today, the moon and night pray, and all people witnessed this wonderful world. The lights and stars and moon shine together are actually a sign of the world!"

"I am going to congratulate Your Majesty!"

Meng Yi, Feng Quji and all the young masters all bowed to Qin Shihuang together.

"Haha, okay, good, prayer is over. I will follow me to watch the riddles!" Qin Shihuang happily held Chen Xu with one hand and Ziying with the other hand towards the riddles area on the edge of the square.

At this time, the people of Xianyang who had watched the sky lanterns and kowtowed and prayed had already climbed up from the ground one after another, and held their lanterns and started strolling around the lanterns and watching the floats. Xianyang City, which had been quiet for half an hour, became noisy and lively again, and the lights in the streets and alleys returned to the beginning of the excitement.

There are hundreds of lanterns hanging on the simple wooden rack, each with a piece of hemp pulp paper, and a riddle is written on each piece of paper.

These riddles are all kinds, including guessing words, objects, and guessing place names and allusions. Generally speaking, the riddles are relatively straightforward, because after all, riddles are not prosperous at the moment, and they are all thought out in a hurry, so they will definitely not be very rigorous and profound.

The imperial guards retreated everywhere. Although the emperor planned to have fun with the people, he would never let himself be in danger. The imperial guards blocked the crowd watching riddles ten feet away. There were also many imperial guards in casual clothes mixed in the crowd. Some people carried weapons such as weapons, bows and arrows, and the five hundred Xuanwu Guards were masked to guard, like a black tide that wrapped the emperor and the three Shangqings in it.

Qin Shihuang looked at a lantern in front of him, which read: White, tender, soft and smooth, guess a food.

Chen Xu, Mengyi and Feng Quji stood beside him without saying a word.

"White, tender, soft and smooth... food..." Qin Shihuang grabbed his beard and stared at the lantern intently pondered. After a moment, he turned to look at Chen Xu and the other two, "What are the three beloved ministers and guess what this is?"

Chen Xu smiled and bowed: "Your Majesty, I have guessed it!"

"Haha, the old minister has guessed it too!" Feng Quji smiled with his beard.

"This is a common food and food, and it's not magical. I have guessed it!" Meng Yi nodded.

"Yes, this mystery is indeed not difficult. It's tofu. I wonder if I guess it right?" Qin Shihuang said with a smile as he looked at a young scholar guarding next to the lantern.

"Your Majesty will be able to guess it. The answer to this riddle is tofu!" The young scholar saluted in great excitement.

Qin Shihuang stretched out his hand happily, "I guess the puzzle, can I give it to me if I can give it to the lanterns and rewards!"

The young scholar was stunned for a moment and quickly took off the lantern and handed it to the emperor with respect: "Congratulations to Your Majesty for winning the Lantern Festival, I am extremely honored!"

"Haha!" Qin Shihuang took the lantern and held it in his hand, said reward to the eunuch who was following him, and then walked happily towards the next lantern.

"Huh, I'm so lucky! Fortunately, my puzzle is very simple." Seeing the emperor leaving with a group of people, the young scholar was extremely nervous to wipe his sweat with his sleeves, and then he looked at a yellow golden cake that was the size of his finger in his hand and laughed in an instant.

I guessed the riddle and only had ten coins in it, but in the blink of an eye I got a reward of two hundred coins. This was a good deal. I could go to Quyuan to visit the kiln later.

The second riddle: the setting sun, guess a word.

"This is the word "Sui!" Qin Shihuang guessed the answer at a glance, and then got another lantern and handed it to Ziying beside him.

The third puzzle: Half each spring and autumn, guess the name of a country.

"This riddle is simple, Ziying will guess!" Qin Shihuang pointed to Ziying and said to Ziying.

Ziying looked on tiptoe for a while, then thought nervously and bowed and said, "Grandpa Emperor, grandson guessed that this is the word Qin, so the answer is my Qin State!"

"Your Highness Ziying is really smart!" Meng Yifeng nodded at the same time when he twirled his beard and nodded.

"Haha, Ziying is not bad, I am very pleased!" Qin Shihuang also touched his beard and nodded with a smile.

Hundreds of riddles were mostly very simple. At first, several emperors stopped to watch and guess, and sometimes they would ask the concubines and princesses to guess. Therefore, after walking not far, a group of people had already carried seven or eight lanterns in their hands, and the chat and laughter were very lively, because these princes and princesses lived in the palace on weekdays, so it was difficult to have the opportunity to go out shopping and play like ordinary people like this, and they never participated in such an interesting activity at night, so they were very enthusiastic and excited.

It soon half an hour passed, and the emperor stopped watching every riddle. Many people who knew the answer to the riddles would not join in the fun, because there were still people who did not participate, so they could not let the royal family take all these lanterns back to the palace. Then the grand party that enjoyed the people would have no meaning.

An hour later, after watching all the riddles, the emperor took a car to parade and watch the floats. The lights were bright and crowded everywhere. People knelt down and cheered. The emperor was very happy when he sat in the car. From time to time, he reached out to wave to the people. By the time of Hai, the full moon had risen into the air. With the sound of a few melodious bronze bells in the palace, fireworks rose into the sky outside the four gates of Xianyang City, southeast, northwest and northwest of Xianyang City, and colorful and brilliant fireworks were constantly blooming in the deep and quiet night sky. The setting off of the divine thunder fireworks also brought the celebration of the Mid-Autumn Night to a climax. The bustling people cheered and the noise sounded across the banks of the Wei River.

Late at night, although the people paraded the streets were still very interested, almost all the riddles were guessed, and the fireworks had already dispersed. Most people took their families home to rest. At the same time, the various quiver houses became more lively. A large number of idle people who liked nightlife began to flock to the quiver houses of all sizes to listen to music and drink and have lunch, especially Qinghe Garden. The lights were brightly decorated and countless luxury carriages were in and out. Not only did the Qinghe Hotel gather countless wealthy merchants who were eating, drinking and feasting, but the Qinghe Theater was even more crowded. The audience holding tickets were in and out in groups. The silk and bamboo songs and dances inside almost never stopped from sunset to midnight, and it was probably a whole night of noisy.

After the fireworks were set off, Chen Xu had already brought his family back to the Hou's Mansion.

This kind of festival celebration is simply a grand occasion in the eyes of the people of the Qin Dynasty, but in Chen Xu's eyes, it is nothing more than a simplicity than the night view of the city with fireworks. The so-called bright lights are completely different from the night view of the city with flashing neon lights in later generations.

Poverty and backwardness are still the most obvious characteristics of this era, and there will not be much improvement in the past few decades.

"The crows live in the white trees in the atrium, and the cold dew is silently wet the osmanthus. Tonight, the moon is bright and people look at it, but I don't know who the autumn thoughts are falling."

After washing up, Chen Xu stood in the courtyard and looked at the bright moon in the sky.

Seeing the moon thinking of others, Chen Xu suddenly felt an inexplicable loneliness and melancholy.

"My husband's poem is a little sad. Could it be that I want to go back to visit my parents?" Shui Qingrou walked gently to him in a black dress, with a light figure and a jade cheek. She held a bamboo flute in her hand, which was what Chen Xu gave to her in Xiaohe Village.

"That's right!" Chen Xu reached out and gently embraced Shuiru into his arms.

"Xi'er is already old. This year we will accompany you to visit your father-in-law and mother-in-law together!" Shui Qingrou hugged Chen Xu's back and comforted her softly.

"Indeed, things were complicated last year, and Xi'er was still young and couldn't stand the fatigue and running for thousands of miles. Everything was going well this year. After winter began, we would go back to Xiaohe Village!" Chen Xu nodded.

Although Shui Qingrou is smart, she doesn't know that what he actually misses is not entirely the parents of Xiaohe Village, but his parents in his previous life.

It seemed that in a blink of an eye, he had traveled to this era for almost six years, and after that car accident, he could not imagine the pain and sorrow of his parents after losing him, his only son.

People today do not see the moon in ancient times, but the moon once shines on the ancients.

But now I have to say this sentence backwards, I wonder if the full moon in the sky can see it, whether the parents of future generations can still see whether they still have the heart to eat moon cakes and miss their son who has already turned into ashes.

"Husband, let's dance for you!" Shui Qingrou looked up and looked at Chen Xu with beautiful eyes.

"Okay, I haven't watched my wife sing and dancing for a long time. Today, the moon is full in Mid-Autumn Festival. Let me see if my wife's singing and dancing are as beautiful as Fairy Chang'e in Guanghan Palace!" Chen Xu gently stroked the faint scar on the soft and smooth cheeks of the water nodded.

"When will the bright moon come? I asked the blue sky with wine. I don't know what palace in the sky is, and what year is it tonight..."

A gentle figure sings and dances under the moonlight. The bamboo flute in his hand waved with layers of ghost shadows. The beautiful body in the skirt was flying and the beautiful singing was flowing under the watery moonlight, and it was very far away in the quiet night.

Shui Qingrou is very devoted and can sing and dance for the man she loves and respects. Perhaps the best way for her to relieve the melancholy in his heart now.

Looking at the beautiful figures singing and dancing, Chen Xu's mind gradually calmed down. Many people and things experienced will become eternal past. Whether it is his parents who were separated from each other for two lives, Wang Qingxiu who has never returned, or the dead Jiang Chuyue, they can only turn into a kind of unforgettable memory and attachment.

It is easy to come and go and difficult to travel around the world for decades, and it is easy to gather together and difficult to gather love and hate for the eternal sorrow.

Life is only a few decades long, cherishing the present is what he should do the most.

Amid the melodious and elegant singing, Ying Shiman blew out the lights and stood in front of the window of her room, looking at the woman singing and dancing in the moonlight and the man who was lonely looking up at the full moon. A trace of tears slowly flowed down in her eyes. This man seemed to be one of her soul, integrated into her blood, and no one could replace him. However, this man was as hazy as the moonlight, through a layer of gauze, and could not see clearly the mystery and loneliness in his heart.

And in another room, the lights were also pitch black.

Meng Wan sat blankly on the chair beside the bed, holding a brand new coat with a novel style in her hand and listening to the singing from outside the window. The cold moonlight shone in through the window, as if the window was separated by two different worlds and could never be integrated. She always felt that she could not touch the depths of Chen Xu's heart. Married as a woman, the girl's thoughts gradually turned into a deep attachment, unable to escape, but she felt lonely and lonely.

But no matter what, she already has him. Compared to Jiang Chuyue, Wang Qingxiu, and her mother, and the tens of thousands of concubines and palace maids in the palace, she is the happiest woman in the world.

Because he would not take into account the worldly vision at all, allowing them to do what they like and to fully display their talents under his care and love.

She even had some jealousy and envious of Fan Caiying, who was able to become a woman who was in charge of the financial lifeline of the Qin Dynasty. Even the emperor and his father repeatedly mentioned and praised her. Whether it was kings, princes, princes, nobles, or wealthy merchants, they would salute respectfully when they saw Fan Caiying. This honor is a role model for women in the world.
