reax;
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month was the Shangyuan Festival in the Tang dynasty. In order to celebrate this great festival, the capital, Chang 'an, and even the whole country would hold a grand celebration. Guessing Chinese characters, admiring lanterns, watching acrobatics, and sightseeing at night were very lively. In order to let the people have fun, there was no night ban on the Shangyuan Festival.
Ang Lee was ordered to escort Prince Guichang to Dongnu Province on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. That was to say, after the Shangyuan Festival, he would temporarily leave Chang 'an for Dongnu Province. This made him full of expectation and inexplicable loneliness at the same time.
Over the past few days, Li An and Yan Ruyu had been working hard to learn the Tibetan language. It could be said that Li An and Yan Ruyu were together day and night. Every day, they would be together for ten to ten hours. Although learning the Tibetan language was very difficult, with Yan Ruyu accompanying him, Li An did not feel that it was difficult at all. Instead, Yan Ruyu's encouragement had stimulated the potential of his brain. In an extremely short period of time, he had learned a large amount of the Tibetan language, causing Yan Ruyu to be greatly surprised.
"Grass, give it to me."
Yan Ruyu smiled and took a box of snacks from Grass. She was going to give it to Ang Lee who was practicing hard.
"Nineteen Madame, this Li Xiaowei is really strange. Half a month ago, he couldn't even learn Tibetan. Now he is so good. He learned most of Tibetan in such a short time."
"Grass, shut up and go out."
Yan Ruyu blushed and walked to Ang Lee in the study with a box of snacks.
"Nothing serious. Take a rest and try the snacks."
Ang Lee was not tempted by the smell of the food. He just winked at Yan Ruyu and smiled. Then he continued to practice Tibetan.
"Nothing serious. You have practiced for so long. Aren't you hungry?"
"Very hungry. But I will escort Prince Guichang to Dongnu Province tomorrow. If I don't practice now, I won't have time."
Yan Ruyu's heart sank. She pursed her lips and said, "I'm fine. Even if time is tight, I can't let myself go hungry."
Ang Lee smiled slyly. "Ruyu, why don't you feed me? This way, it won't delay my calligraphy practice, and I won't starve. What do you think?"
Yan Ruyu was slightly surprised. Seeing Ang Lee's mischievous expression, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. She found that she was more and more attracted to this Ang Lee who was a little naughty.
"You're fine. Open your mouth."
"Ah!"
"Haha!"
With such a beautiful little girl like Yan Ruyu putting delicious snacks into his mouth, Ang Lee felt extremely comfortable. From time to time, he would bite Yan Ruyu's tender little hand, scaring Yan Ruyu so much that she quickly withdrew her hand and used her tender little fist to beat Ang Lee's back.
"You're fine. Tomorrow morning, you will leave Chang 'an City. But you haven't completely learned the Tufan language. If Ruyu goes with you, I can continue to teach you along the way."
Ang Lee was shocked. "No, Ruyu. You also know the contents of the secret letter. This time, I will be escorting Prince Guichang to Dongnu Province. It will be very dangerous. If I bring you along, I won't be distracted to protect you. No, this is absolutely not possible."
This trip to Dongnu Province was full of unknown dangers. Protecting Prince Guichang, Zhao Yefu, was already very stressful. If he brought along Yan Ruyu who didn't know martial arts, it would be fatal. Ang Lee naturally wouldn't agree. Of course, Yan Zhenqing wouldn't agree either.
Yan Ruyu was indeed a well-educated little girl. Seeing Ang Lee refuse, she didn't argue or get angry. Instead, she smiled. "I'm fine. Since it will distract you, then I won't go. However, I have a gift for you. You must accept it."
"Gift? What gift?"
Yan Ruyu took out a small booklet from the drawer of the study and handed it to Ang Lee. "It's fine. This is a booklet that compares the Tang language and Tufan language. It's not very complete, but it will definitely help you."
Ang Lee took the booklet and read it carefully. The handwriting was all new. It was obviously Yan Ruyu's handwriting. It was a gift that Yan Ruyu specially prepared for Ang Lee.
Looking up at Yan Ruyu's eyes, Ang Lee found traces of red. This was enough to show that Yan Ruyu used the night to do all this.
In other words, Yan Ruyu already knew that Ang Lee wouldn't agree to bring her to Dongnu Province. Moreover, it was impossible for Ang Lee to learn all the Tufan language in half a month. For this reason, she specially prepared this translation of the Tang language and Tufan language for Ang Lee to slowly learn on the way to Dongnu Province.
Holding this translation of the Tang language and Tufan language, Ang Lee felt a little touched. This translation was comparable to the English-Chinese dictionary of the future. Yan Ruyu poured a lot of effort and effort into it.
"Ruyu, you taught me Tufan language in the day and stayed up late to prepare this gift for me at night. It's really hard on you. Look, your eyes are red. It makes my heart ache."
"It's fine. I'll be fine after resting for a few days."
Yan Ruyu smiled. A faint sweetness flashed in her heart.
Ang Lee took a step forward and held Yan Ruyu's small hand: "Ruyu, there's no curfew during the Lantern Festival. The streets must be very lively. I'll accompany you to see the lanterns, okay?"
Yan Ruyu pursed her lips and nodded with a smile in her eyes. In a few hours, Ang Lee would leave Chang 'an City. This trip would take at least a few months. Of course, she wouldn't refuse Ang Lee's small request. Furthermore, she also had this intention in her heart.
###
Don't rush the jade and copper kettle, the iron gates and golden locks are open all night; Who can sit idle when they see the moon?
The Tang Dynasty's top scholar Cui Lu's poem, Lantern Night, vividly described the lively and cheerful scene of the Lantern Festival. A sentence, "Who can sit idle when they see the moon", described the grand occasion of the Lantern Festival where all the streets were empty.
Chang 'an City was naturally the most lively place during the Lantern Festival. On this night, the Emperor of the Tang dynasty, Li Longji, would personally go to the Pavilion of Petal and Sepal of Xingqing Palace to see the lanterns on the streets with the people of Chang' an City.
"Don't worry. There are so many people on the streets."
"Ruyu, let me hold your hand. In this way, we won't be separated by the crowd."
Seeing that there were too many people on the streets, Ang Lee hurriedly held Yan Ruyu's small pink hand.
Yan Ruyu smiled and didn't object to Ang Lee's abruptness. In the crowded streets, Ang Lee holding her hand would make her feel comfortable and safe.
The lantern festival was held on the street south of Xingqing Palace. At this time, it was already dark and all the lanterns were lit.
"Ruyu, look, the lanterns in front are so beautiful. There are also small lanterns hanging on the trees next to them."
Ang Lee pointed to the front and felt relaxed and happy.
"Don't worry. The tall building in front of us is the Pavilion of Petal and Sepal of Xingqing Palace. Tonight, His Majesty will stand on the building and enjoy the lanterns with us. Let's go closer. Maybe we can see His Majesty."
Ang Lee pinched Yan Ruyu's face and said proudly, "Your Brother Don has been summoned by His Majesty twice. But since Ruyu wants to see His Majesty, let's go."
Yan Ruyu pouted and glanced at Ang Lee. Then she followed Ang Lee to the Pavilion of Petal and Sepal.
Since Emperor Li Longji would stand on the Pavilion of Petal and Sepal to enjoy the lanterns with the people, the lanterns were most concentrated in the south of the Pavilion of Petal and Sepal. Moreover, the lanterns here were of the best quality and the most gorgeous.
"His Majesty is here."
The messenger Yu Chaoen called. Li Longji appeared on the Pavilion of Petal and Sepal with a group of princes and trusted ministers. He waved to the people on the street.
Today was the Spring Lantern Festival, a great festival for the whole country. For this reason, Li Longji wore a big fur coat, which looked very magnificent.
"Long live His Majesty! Long live His Majesty!"
With the appearance of Li Longji, the people on the street all shouted "Long live His Majesty!" to show their respect for the Emperor.
Li Longji was naturally in a good mood when the people shouted "Long live His Majesty". He waved to the people on the street frequently. The princes and ministers beside him all benefited from the light.
"Guichang Prince, she is here too."
Ang Lee saw Zhao Yafu in a gorgeous dress beside Li Longji at a glance.
Yan Ruyu pursed her lips and looked at Ang Lee. "It's okay. The beautiful girl beside His Majesty is Guichang Prince."
Ang Lee nodded gently. "Yes, she is Guichang Prince. However, you can see that she is very beautiful from so far away."
"Oh, she is really beautiful."
Yan Ruyu's eyes were a little lonely.
"Guichang Prince is the first beauty in Dongnu Province. Of course, she is beautiful." Ang Lee grinned and leaned to Yan Ruyu's ear. "However, compared with Ruyu, she is a little inferior. Ruyu is the most beautiful girl in the world."
"Smooth talker."
Yan Ruyu glared at Ang Lee.
"Clatter, clatter."
Just when Ang Lee and Yan Ruyu were distracted, dozens of palace maids and eunuchs on the wall of Xingqing Palace were working hard to throw a large number of copper coins on the street.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty."
The people on the street were shouting "long live" while bending down to pick up the copper coins on the ground. These were the copper coins given by His Majesty. Even if there were only a few coins, it was a precious wealth.
Ang Lee and Yan Ruyu did not have time to bend down. They were immediately noticed by Li Longji and others on the Petal and Sepal Pavilion.
"It's Ang Lee."
Li Longji, the princes, ministers, and Guichang Prince Zhao Yafu all noticed Ang Lee at the first time. Of course, they also noticed Yan Ruyu beside Ang Lee.
Ang Lee on the street also knew that Li Longji and others had noticed him. He quickly stood with his hands crossed to show respect.
Who was the beautiful girl beside him? Was she his sweetheart?
Zhao Yafu was curious. He looked straight at Yan Ruyu beside Ang Lee.
Yan Ruyu on the street also looked at Guichang Prince Zhao Yafu curiously. It was said that heroes appreciated each other. In fact, beauties also appreciated each other.
Li Longji's lips curled into a smile as he looked at Li An with eyes full of admiration. The princes and ministers all had different expressions as they all had different impressions of Li An.
