Chapter 527 Fire, Trees and Silver Flowers
Time flies, and the Lantern Festival is here in a blink of an eye.
On the brightly lit street, Emperor Shenwu held Lan Qingwu's hand, and the two of them walked through the bustling crowd with great interest.
The various lanterns on the Lantern Festival, from a distance, look like thousands of bright lights floating in the air like bright stars, splendid and warm like the sea, accompanied by fireworks constantly blooming in the sky, like a fairyland in heaven.
Emperor Shenwu held Lan Qingwu's hand and walked along the long street, the light and shadows of the lights constantly passing over their smiling faces.
The two of them climbed up to the top of the high city wall. Emperor Shenwu looked at Lan Qingwu, who was breathing slightly, and held her in his arms: "Ruoruo, I have a gift for you!"
After Lan Qingwu's breathing calmed down a little, Emperor Shenwu slowly turned her to the other side of the city wall.
Lan Qingwu was stunned by the beauty before him! The evergreen trees, which should have been silent in the night, seemed to be covered with lights. From afar, they were dotted with lush green branches, and each lighted tree was shining brightly!
And they are constantly changing colors: red, orange, blue, green, cyan, yellow, and purple!
Lan Qingwu was surprised and delighted. This scene was like the colorful night scene in his own world. How did he do all this?
"The night is bright with fireworks and silver flowers, and the sky is full of lights, so you can't sleep!"
Lan Qingwu muttered to himself, and couldn't help but turn to the Shenwu Emperor: "Brother Heng, how did you do this?"
The Shenwu Emperor's usually cold phoenix eyes were filled with tenderness. "Do you like them? These are moonstones. They only emit a variety of colors under moonlight. They are not very useful otherwise. I found a pile of these stones in the warehouse. I don't know how many years they have been accumulated! I guess these stones are so unique and their use is unknown, so they have been piled up in the warehouse to gather dust. I simply used them to make the beauty smile! Do you like them?"
Lan Qingwu threw himself into the arms of the Divine Martial Emperor: "I like it! I like it so much!"
Lan Qingwu couldn't contain her joy. She reached out and pulled the Shenwu Emperor along, and they ran down the high city wall, step by step, like happy birds. The two of them rushed to the bottom of the blazing trees and silver flowers. The Shenwu Emperor watched Lan Qingwu shuttle, spin, and dance among the trees...
He refused to miss any of Lan Qingwu's smiles, glances or expressions!
The world's noise seemed to vanish from the Emperor's ears in that instant. In this silent world, only Lan Qingwu's blooming smile shone like a peerless jade amidst the fireworks. Her crystal-like black eyes reflected the shimmering lanterns lining the street, as if absorbing all the world's dazzling splendor. Her beauty, like a hibiscus flower, etched itself into the heart, captivating one's heart.
Lan Qingwu threw himself back into the arms of the Divine Martial Emperor: "Brother Heng, can't we enjoy these moonlight trees every night?"
Emperor Shenwu nodded and said, "I have issued an order. This Moonlight Street, apart from being used for viewing on the Lantern Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, can be rented out to mobile shops on the fifth day of each month. On the fifth, fifteenth, and twenty-fifth nights of each month, this long street can be opened to the public all night long without curfew, thereby increasing the income of the people!"
Lan Qingwu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he kissed the Shenwu Emperor on the cheek. "Brother Heng, you're amazing! Now those merchants will be grateful for the imperial court's decree!"
Emperor Shenwu smiled and accepted everything: "I have already ordered the Crown Prince to supervise this matter. Tonight, I can only express my humble gratitude!"
Lan Qingwu smiled sweetly, and flew out from the arms of Emperor Shenwu again like a flying bird, her laughter like a silver bell rang out.
The Emperor and Empress spent this beautiful and romantic night to their heart's content. Emperor Shenwu put down his imperial belongings, and Lan Qingwu also put down everything in the palace. The two of them, like a normal couple, fully expressed their deep affection for each other, no longer having to worry about so many things.
Not far away, Prince Ding, Qian Hui and others who were guarding silently looked at the emperor and empress who were quietly hugging each other under the moonlight tree. The colorful halo kept changing around them, just like their wonderful lives.
There was tenderness and love under the moonlit tree, but in the Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Li was furious for the first time in all these years!
In the bedroom of the Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Li held a piece of rice paper in her right hand. Her fingers trembled slightly, and she saw a simple topographic map drawn on the rice paper, with notes in fine charcoal pencil describing the function of each room in detail.
Empress Dowager Li scowled coldly, "Outrageous! Outrageous! What does the Emperor intend to do? If I hadn't sent people to the Imperial Mausoleum, how would we have discovered what the Emperor was planning?"
