Chapter 9: Shangyuan Lantern Festival (I)

The streets of Beijing are like Beijing Siheyuan, square. Li Qing rushed back from Xiangxi all the way, and finally the carriage she was riding into the streets of Beijing City on the morning of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

The place where you see it was lively. Wu Sangui and others who were escorting with him had to get off the horse and lead the horse. There were crowds everywhere. Today is the Lantern Festival. The war in the south did not seem to affect the enthusiasm of the people at all. The shop owners lined with their own signs were busy directing their friends to hang lanterns with their own signs. All kinds of lanterns can be seen everywhere. It is only during the day, and you can imagine what the scene will be when these lights are lit together at night!

"Doctor Li, should you go back to the Imperial Medical Center or go directly to the palace?" Li Qing was looking through the window of the car, and suddenly the voice of Wu Sangui asking for instructions came from his ears.

Li Qing thought for a while and said, "Let's go to the palace first."

Wu Sangui responded and ordered the carriage to walk on the route. After a moment, he appeared at the window of the carriage again and said to Li Qing in a regretful tone: "Doctor Li, today is so lively. The lantern market must be very beautiful at night, but unfortunately I will not be able to see it."

"Why, General Wu?" Li Qing turned his head in surprise and asked.

"After escorting Doctor Li into the palace, even if the task of the last general is over, he must return to the military camp in Tongzhou immediately. He must not stay in the capital, otherwise he will have to deal with it." Wu Sangui is still a teenager after all, and young people like to be lively and lively. Tonight's Lantern Festival must be very lively and fun, so he played a little trick, hoping to pass tonight and return to the military camp tomorrow. Then now the only person who can help him achieve this small wish is the only one in the car.

"This?" Li Qing was embarrassed. She could hear that the young general wanted to stay for the Lantern Festival tonight. She was just a little imperial physician, without power and power, and had no power to satisfy his wishes. However, she worked hard to escort her along the way without any complaints. She was indeed very grateful and wanted to help them stay in the capital tonight for the Lantern Festival.

At this time, Li Qing couldn't help but think of his true relationship with Zhu Yinglong. If he beg him, would he agree to Wu Sangui and others stay in the capital for the Spring Festival before leaving? What if he refuses him, what should he do?

Should I help or not? Li Qing is a little confused.

Wu Sangui's eyes were occasionally aimed at Li Qing. He could see that the female imperial physician wanted to help him and could help him, but he was very embarrassed. He couldn't help feeling a little guilty. It was a sin to make such a kind-hearted female imperial physician embarrassed for such a small wish.

"General Wu, thank you for escorting all the way, but General, you should know that you and I are different from each other. My words may not work. If not, I can't do it." Li Qing tactfully said the meaning that it might not work, but she still decided to help Wu Sangui, a small favor, which can be regarded as repaying the hard escorts of others.

Wu Sangui was overjoyed and said gratefully: "Whether you can do it or not, I will thank Dr. Li for all the last ones."

"General Wu is polite, Li Qing should do it." Li Qing nodded.

When Magu entered the capital, he realized how small his royal city was. He was like a frog in the well. The unique outfits of the Miao people also attracted many people to stop and watch, especially Magu's beautiful woman. Although she looked like a fairy, she could not hide her stunning charm. If there were more than a dozen big men in the same outfit around her from time to time, maybe some of her disciples would not be able to help but tease her.

"Miss, we finally arrived in the capital!" The person who spoke was Ma San, the general manager sent by Ma Laoguan to protect and take care of Ma Gu. As soon as he entered Beijing, he was immediately attracted by the lively street market, a wide range of goods, and a few foreigners with red hair and green eyes from time to time, and he was deeply attracted by the eyes and could no longer bear to move them away.

The bustle and prosperity of the capital also deeply shocked Magu. In her heart, the capital was only a little bigger than his royal city, at most a little bigger than a city like Yuanzhou. But what he didn't expect was that it would be so big. The ten Yuanzhou cities were not necessarily bigger than the capital. There were also the pavilions on both sides of the streets, which were a little higher than the Miao family's stilt houses. As soon as they entered the city, when they followed Li Qing's carriage to the Forbidden City, Magu was completely shocked.

There are such majestic buildings in the world, with red palace walls as high as ten feet high, and golden glass shining in the sun. The palaces are one after another, as if there is no end, and the guards in front of the palace gate are brightly coated and armored.

"This is the palace, where the emperor lives?" Magu murmured to himself.

"Miss, Doctor Li's carriage has entered!" Ma San couldn't help but push Ma Gu for a moment and reminded.

"What?" Magu was obsessed with architectural design as he was a little obsessed with. When he saw such a huge Forbidden City, he was immediately excited. It turned out that there was a royal city in this world that was more majestic than the one he designed. Compared with the Forbidden City in front of him, his royal city was not even as good as a brick wall.

"Miss, let's follow us soon. Doctor Li has gone in. If you don't go in, you won't be able to see the carriage." Ma San was a little anxious and kept urging.

Magu is different from Ma San. Although Ma San was sent by his father to take care of and protect him, he knew nothing about the outside world. Instead, Li Qing kept reminding him so that he would not cause unnecessary trouble on the road, otherwise Wu Sangui would not need several secret helps to escape from danger. Li Qing knew that the palace of the Han emperor in front of her was tightly guarded at the door and needed to be checked when entering and leaving. How could she say that she could enter by going in? But she had a question in her mind, didn’t Li Qing say that she was staying in the Imperial Hospital? Why did she go directly into the palace when she came back?

"Ma San, let's go, find a place to live first." Ma Gu looked at Li Qing's carriage turning, disappeared from her sight, and turned around to look at Ma San.

"Where are you going, Miss?" Ma Sanyi looked confused and followed Ma Gu's footsteps.

"Inn." Two words popped out from Magu's mouth.

"Brother, where is the best inn in Beijing?"

When the person asked, seeing that a beautiful girl as beautiful as a fairy suddenly stood in front of him, his anger that was stopped for no reason disappeared, and he quickly showed a smile and said, "This girl, look, your outfit is not a local, right?"

"Brother is really good. The little girl is from Yuanzhou. Because of the war, her parents died in the war and came to the capital to visit her relatives." Along the way, Magu has learned a lot of experience in the martial arts world. It is absolutely the most important thing to hide her identity when asked about strangers.

"I'm looking at you, girl?" The person asked was suspicious when he saw more than a dozen people behind Magu who were dressed in similar clothes and dressed in the same clothes.

"Brother misunderstood. The little girl's family has some wealth. These people are my servants. I am alone and they are unwilling to stay, so they followed them to Beijing together." Magu hurriedly explained.
