My Princess Has Been Reborn

It is the custom of Liang State to go upstairs to watch the lanterns in Shangyuan night. Although it hasn't been passed down for many generations, the emperor is not absent every year, and the people in the capital gradually develop the habit of going to the palace gate and seeing the emperor's true face. Even people from different places heard about this, and some people rushed to the capital on the Spring Festival, just to see the emperor or the prince with their own eyes.

This year's Shangyuan Festival will naturally be no exception. No matter how many changes occur during the year, the people at the bottom will not know. They just came to worship, just to watch the excitement.

It is customary to go upstairs to watch the lanterns on the Chaoyang Tower, which is the nearest to the palace gate. The Chaoyang Tower itself is tall, and it is condescending to stand on it. The construction of such a tall building inside the palace gate is similar to the observation deck in the military camp. Although Beijing is stable, the palace is not daring to trespass by anyone, but there will be no shortage of people who dare to rebel in any generation.

However, the Chaoyang Tower has not yet come into use for real use. The three princes' chaos was settled too quickly under the emperor's calculations, and there was no time to attack the palace. Therefore, the role of Chaoyang Tower is only to light and watch the lights.

At Xu Shizheng, the emperor and prince appeared punctually downstairs in Chaoyang.

Outside the palace gate separated by a wall, a large number of people have gathered at this moment. If you stand on the palace wall and look down, you will only see a black man's head. The crowd was crowded and the noise was constant, even the emperor and prince who had just arrived downstairs in Chaoyang heard it.

The emperor looked back at the prince. Under the light, his pale face seemed to be filled with a layer of warmth, obviously not so weak. In addition, the prince is self-disciplined, and no matter how sick he is, his posture is still upright. The aura of his whole body can even make people ignore his increasingly thin body. You can only feel that the crown prince is quite heavy.

Without realizing what was wrong, the emperor helped the prince straighten out Polycloak's clothes, and then said: "Let's go, follow me upstairs!"

The prince bowed slightly, and turned sideways to let the emperor take a step first, and then followed him upstairs.

At this moment, the Chaoyang Tower was dim, and the colorful lights that decorated the entire tall building had not been lit. Because the first lamp of the Chaoyang Tower must be personally lit by the emperor, and as long as the first dragon lamp is lit, the internal organs will connect the entire lantern on the Chaoyang Tower to make it one by one. ignite. There is no need for others to intervene, and the whole process is also very magical.

The emperor stepped onto the Chaoyang Tower first, and the guard next to him immediately handed a torch to the prince who was a little slower. Today, only the emperor and the prince can set foot in the Chaoyang Tower, and the guards and palace people can only wait downstairs.

The prince took the torch and tilted forward slightly, just enough to light up the steps in front of the emperor.

The two climbed the building step by step, and the people outside the city gradually saw the torch that climbed the tall building. The Chaoyang Tower was still very dim, and everyone could only see two figures, but this was enough to excite those who saw the emperor and the prince for the first time.

The flow of people was surging, unconsciously crowding forward, until it approached the palace wall and was forced to retreat by the sergeant with a knife.

Fortunately, Qi Yang and Lu Qipei did not join in the excitement. They were too precocious for the emperor and the prince, and had no idea of ​​looking at them from another angle under the palace wall. So even though they watched the excitement, they didn't move forward. A dozen attendants stood behind the three of them. When the surrounding people saw this battle, they all consciously squeezed to both sides and did not conflict with them.

This is so, the hustle and bustle around is enough to make people's brains painful, Qi Yang couldn't help but sigh: "It's terrible, I would have never come here to join in the fun." They really want to watch the excitement, they can go to the palace wall. Such an immersive experience is also the first experience.

Of course, the feeling after the experience is not very good, the surrounding is too noisy and crowded.

Lu Qipei guarded the person in his arms and chuckled softly in her ears: "His Royal Highness is also to show A Sheng to see the excitement. If you work harder and bear it for the time being. But it's enough to watch this time. Let's not come next time."

The two were talking, Lu Sheng was still playing with puppets, and he looked up when they heard them mention him.

Lu Qipei smiled and touched her head. The child's soft hair fell on the palm, and it felt good in the hand. The smile in her eyes deepened by two points, and then she chatted with Qi Yang casually, and the two again turned their eyes to the tall building not far away.

On the Chaoyang Tower on the other side, the emperor and prince had stepped up to the highest point on the roof.

Everything has been arranged on the high building, a delicate dragon lantern is in sight, and the dragon beard and dragon claws are vivid. And if this huge lantern, one person tall, was lit, it would be enough to illuminate Sakon as bright as day. Coupled with the small lanterns surrounding the entire Chaoyang Tower, after they are all lit, this dimly-lit tall building can immediately become the most dazzling existence in Shangyuan Night Capital!

It was not the first time for the emperor and prince to light up the building, so the first sight was not the dragon lantern in front of them.

The two stood on the Chaoyang Tower and looked into the distance. The first thing that caught your eye was the dark crowd outside the palace gate. There were a lot of people who came to worship, and seeing the emperor and prince show up, the crowd was full of noise. Then look farther, and most of the capital is also in sight...

Under the emperor's governance, the Liang Kingdom had a prosperous age, and the capital was even more peaceful.

The so-called Shangyuan night to go upstairs to watch the lanterns is to watch the dragon lanterns, but also to watch the lights in the city-Shangyuan Lantern Festival is a custom, but it is not that the government forces everyone to hang lights, so you can see many clues by looking at it. .

When the emperor saw the lights in the city, he knew that the people were rich this year and could afford to light the lights. This made him feel a little satisfied, even if his body is deteriorating now, these are his achievements... He can't control birth, aging, sickness and death, but this peaceful and prosperous age is enough to keep him famous. This is the greatest affirmation of his life. Up.

With pride in his heart, the emperor turned his head and reached out to the prince: "Give me the torch, I want to light the lamp one last time!"

The word "last" made the prince startled, his lips pursed and he wanted to say something, but he swallowed the words back to the Emperor Zhan Ran's gaze. He handed the torch up silently, watching the emperor holding the torch forward, and subconsciously followed two steps.

Just at this moment, a cold wind blew by.

Feng Rui's sword eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he didn't know if it was the illusion of the prince. He always felt that there was a strange smell in the wind.

The emperor didn't notice the abnormality, his heart was surging, and he held the torch to light the lamp. And at the moment when the torch lit the wick, the prince finally remembered what that strange smell was—it was a taste!

The prince was shocked, then looking at the lit wick, he rushed to the emperor without thinking: "Father, be careful!"

With a loud "bang", Chaoyang Tower exploded, the huge dragon lantern shattered, and the skyrocketing fire illuminates the world. There was a moment of silence outside the palace gate that was originally lively and noisy, and many people looked up in a daze, wondering what happened.

The world seemed to be quiet for a moment, and Xuan was flooded with more noise.

The people outside the palace gate may not understand what the accident on Chaoyang Tower means, but they have instinctively realized that something big has happened. Everyone loves to watch the excitement, but everyone is not willing to bother themselves, it is still a big trouble.

So after a moment of silence, the people who had recovered from the gate of the palace had long since disappeared from the previous turmoil, and began to escape-everyone wanted to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible, pushing and clashed with each other, and the scene suddenly became chaotic. A pot of porridge.

Someone was knocked down. The fallen man made a few screams for help, but there was almost no possibility of standing up. A pair of hurriedly fleeing feet stepped on them, and the trampling gradually disappeared.

Rao, Qi Yang and Lu Qipei, who stood behind with their attendants and guards, were almost washed away at this moment.

Lu Qipei didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly stuffed Lu Sheng into Qi Yang's arms, then stretched out his arms to protect the two together. Peach lanterns, rabbit lanterns, and glazed palace lanterns were all crushed and trampled under this conflict.

No one cared about this, even Lu Sheng was so scared that he shrank into Qi Yang's arms and did not dare to move, his body still trembling slightly.

Lu Qipei protects people just wanting to take them to places with few people on the street. However, Qi Yang stared blankly at the fire on Chaoyang Tower, holding Lu Sheng unconsciously trying to rush towards the palace gate, Lu Qipei could hardly hold her.

"Aning, Aning, calm down, there are too many people we can't get through right now!" Lu Qipei yelled in Qi Yang's ears in a gaffe.

The masks on their faces had already been taken off at this time. Qi Yang was unmoved when he heard the words. He still wanted to rush towards the palace gate, but there were two lines of clear tears falling in his eyes-although the Chaoyang Tower was dim before, At the moment the dragon lantern was lit, she also saw the emperor and prince standing beside the lantern. But now that the dragon lantern has exploded, and Chaoyang Tower is full of flames, it is almost self-evident what her father and brother will end.

An unprecedented panic loomed over his heart, Qi Yang couldn't wait to fly into the palace with his wings!

But no, she doesn't have wings, the flow of people in front of her does not even have a way forward. She was sobbing that her legs softened and almost fell to her knees, but she was hugged by Lu Qipei and comforted: "It's okay, it's okay, we'll be over when there are fewer people."

But even in the past, what can they do?

Not to mention Qi Yang panicked, Lu Qipei was also upset at this moment. But she still had to protect Qi Yang and Lu Sheng, and took the time to look at Chaoyang Tower, which was obviously in chaos, and her mood dropped to the bottom.

After a short period of effort, Xiaoqi Camp arrived with new troops, and the chaos in front of the palace was finally brought under temporary control.

Qi Yang and Lu Qipei didn't have time to see the tragedy at the scene, nor did they want to know how many people died in this chaos. The two of them were guarded by the few remaining attendants, pushed aside the crowd and started rushing towards the palace gate.

On the way, I was stopped by the people from Xiaoqi Camp, and when I arrived at the gate of the palace, I was stopped by Yu Lin again. But fortunately, Lu Qipei carried the identity seals of the two with him. No one dared to stop them in the chaos. They entered the palace as quickly as possible.

After entering the palace, Qi Yang couldn't care about anything else, wiped away his tears and left everyone behind, and ran towards Chaoyang Tower. Lu Qipei worried that she would not be able to take care of Lu Sheng, and ran after him.

When the two arrived, they saw the emperor and the prince being lifted from the high building by Yu Lin, both of them were scorched and they didn't know their lives.

At this time, the fire on Chaoyang Tower was not extinguished, and the kings and princesses had not yet received news.
