At night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.
When night fell, an extremely bright moon slowly rose from the horizon. In this era where there were no street lamps, neon lights, or LED advertising screens, this bright moon was extremely eye-catching at night.
The term Mid-Autumn Festival was first recorded in the Rites of Zhou. The Book of Rites: Moon Order said, "The mid-autumn moon nourishes the old and nourishes the old." The custom of the Mid-Autumn Festival was to worship the moon at the beginning. The Book of Rites recorded, "The Emperor's Spring Morning Sun, and the Autumn Moon." The Autumn Moon was to worship the moon. This meant that the Emperor had already started worshipping the moon as early as the Spring and Autumn Period. Later on, the aristocrats, officials, and scholars followed suit and gradually spread it to the people.
Later on, the Mid-Autumn Festival was gradually used to celebrate the harvest. This was because the Mid-Autumn Festival in August was the season for crops and fruits to ripen.
Tonight, the curfew in Chang 'an City was lifted. Therefore, although the sky was dark, the streets outside were still very lively. All kinds of vendors selling small toys began to wander the streets and alleys. Lanterns had also become the favorite plaything of the rich young masters and young ladies. Laughter and exclamations could be heard everywhere. Although there were no stars in the sky, the colorful lanterns gradually rose to replace the stars and adorned the night sky.
"Brother! Brother! I want to sit too! I want to sit in the fairy lantern too! "
In the West Courtyard of the Li Residence, Lan 'er tugged on Li Zexuan's arm and kept acting coquettishly.
Today was the Mid-Autumn Festival. Of course, Lan 'er couldn't continue to stay in the Han Family Village. Mrs. Li personally went to fetch the little girl back early in the morning.
Li Zexuan facepalmed. He didn't know where this little girl got the news from. He had clearly brought his wife here in secret ~! However, in this situation, he could only helplessly say,
"Lan 'er, next time! We can't carry too many people on it at once. Otherwise, it will fall from the sky! After Brother brings Yuxi down, I'll bring you up to play, okay? "
Lan 'er looked up at Han Yuxi. After hesitating for a while, she said, "Alright! Then Brother, you have to keep your word! "
Li Zexuan laughed and said, "Of course!"
Han Yuxi bent over and patted Lan-er's little head. She smiled and said, "Lan-er, don't worry. When he doesn't bring you along, I won't listen to him either!"
Lan-er nodded happily. "Okay!"
Then, the little girl skipped down the corridor to watch the fun.
"Husband ~! This … can this really withstand the two of us? "
At this point, Han Yuxi looked at the hanging basket and became a little hesitant and afraid. She grabbed Li Zexuan's arm and said worriedly.
Li Zexuan smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, my wife. The celestial lamp will definitely be able to withstand the weight of two people. I'm confident about this! Besides, even if there is an accident, I will protect you! Let's go up! "
In fact, there wouldn't be much of a problem even if three people came up together, let alone two people. The reason why he didn't let Lan 'er come up together was mainly because Li Zexuan wanted to take Han Yuxi for a romantic time. Recently, he had been running around for the Academy and the Snake Spirit Mountain. He didn't have much time to accompany his wife. Today, he could take this opportunity to make up for it.
"Okay!"
Han Yuxi heard that and felt a little relieved. She lifted the corner of her skirt and successfully boarded the hanging basket with Li Zexuan's help.
Then, Li Zexuan quickly untied the rope that fixed the hanging basket. Then, he also boarded the hanging basket and ignited the kerosene above the hanging basket.
A moment later, the heavy hanging basket gradually overcame the gravity of the earth under the effect of the strong lifting force of the hot air. It slowly left the ground and rose into the sky, rising higher and higher.
The servants of the Li Residence looked at the huge ball of fire in the sky and were stunned. They were close, but they saw Li Zexuan and Han Yuxi fly directly into the sky after sitting on the hanging basket. This kind of shock was not felt by others.
"Wa, wa, wa ~! We can really fly ~! Brother ~! Sister Yuxi ~! You guys have to come down quickly ~! Don't run too far ~! Lan 'er also wants to sit on it ~! "
Lan 'er saw that the celestial lamp had successfully ascended into the sky. She did not care if others could hear her and hurriedly shouted towards the man and woman in the sky.
"Wa ~! Young Master and Young Madam really flew into the sky ~! They are flying so high ~! "
Xiao He opened her eyes wide and exclaimed in surprise.
Xiao Xi's eyes were filled with enchantment. Following beside Li Zexuan, she could always feel an endless stream of surprises. She looked at the handsome man and beautiful woman in the sky and sighed softly, "Young Master is so good to Young Madam ~!"
"What's wrong ~? Xiao Xi, are you starting to have feelings for Young Master ~? "
Although Xiao Xi's voice was soft, Xiao He heard it clearly. She, who had a lively personality, smirked and teased Xiao Xi.
"Ya ~! Xiao He, what nonsense are you saying ~? Young Master and Young Madam are so good to us, how can you say that ~? I'm not going to talk to you ~! "
Xiao Xi said shyly.
… … …..
This time, Li Zexuan did not let the celestial lamp fly too high. It was only about five stories high. So, when he and Han Yuxi flew out of the mansion, the people on the streets reflected the bright moonlight and immediately saw the outline of the celestial lamp clearly.
"Wa ~! Mother, look ~! Look ~! What a huge lantern ~! "
A young boy who was eating candy and looked dignified saw the celestial lamp in the sky and quickly pulled the woman beside him and shouted excitedly.
The beautiful woman looked up and exclaimed, "Who bought this sky lantern ~? Why is it so big ~? "
In just a short while, more and more people noticed the strange phenomenon in the sky.
"Wow ~! Such a huge sky lantern ~! It seems to have flown out of the Li County Men's Mansion ~! "
"Hey ~! Look, there are people on the sky lantern ~! "
"How is that possible ~? Although the sky lantern is huge, how can it carry people ~? "
"Damn ~! There are really people ~! And it's not just one person, there are two people ~! "
"Wow ~! Isn't that young man in white Lord Li ~? "
"Then the woman in white next to him must be Lord Li's wife ~?"
"A talented man and a beautiful woman, a celestial couple ~!"
Countless people exclaimed at the celestial lamp under the moonlight. There were even people who were chasing after the celestial lamp. Luckily, it was only a light breeze tonight. Otherwise, these people would not be able to catch up even if they ran until their legs broke ~!
"Wow ~! I understand now, this is what Lord Li said in the newspaper today, 'Celestial flying on the night of the full moon' ~! Lord Li wasn't lying when he said that engineering could make people fly ~! "
"Oh ~! So that's it ~! Then what kind of engineering is this? It's really amazing ~! "
"Tsk tsk ~! Compared to engineering, Lord Li's celestial couple is the one that is really enviable ~! "
