Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 497
After everything was packed, the empress and the children went to Yanqing Palace together.

Concubine Hui has arrived with the eldest princess, chatting casually with the rest of the concubines.

When the queen was preparing for the New Year with her before, these concubines helped a little.

Outside the hall, the eunuch's report and singing sounded, and the empress brought the children into the hall. Everyone got up and knelt down, saluting to the empress.

Last year, because of the new queen, many envoys came. This year, as usual, after the emperor ordered everyone to get up, the singing and dancing began.

The palace people brought all kinds of dishes and placed them in front of everyone's tables. Su Qingning watched as Hao'er and Han'er slipped to the side of the eldest princess.

Last year, the two brothers encouraged the eldest princess to go out to play, but the eldest princess disagreed at that time, and it is still the case this year.

The little princess was sitting on the chair specially prepared for her. Seeing that her two brothers were looking for her sister, she immediately writhed and wanted to go too.

"Take her there." The Eldest Princess is measured, besides, Concubine Hui is still there, so there is nothing to worry about.

After receiving the order, the nurse hugged the little princess and went to find her brothers and sister.

"Sister Huang, let's go out and have fun. I specially bought some good things from the palace." With a look of excitement on his face, the eldest prince took out his treasure from his body.

Every year during the Chinese New Year, Dianzhong Province will buy a batch of fireworks and set them off in the palace at the time of Zishi.

I don't know where Hao'er got the news, he took people, quietly went to Dianzhong Province, and got some firecrackers back.

"You boy, why are you so courageous!" Seeing the firecracker in the eldest prince's hand, the eldest princess was startled.

"Is there a fire source?" The eldest princess knew that the firecrackers needed a fire source to ignite, so she asked the eldest prince quickly.

"Of course there is, here it is!" The other hand plucked at his body for a long time, and made a firecracker.

The eldest princess quickly reached out her hand and snatched the torch from his hand, "You boy, you are too courageous, what if it ignites on you, what will you do?"

Staring at the first prince, the eldest princess looked at the second prince, "Han'er, do you know about this?"

The second prince is not as fond of playing as the first prince. He shook his head when he heard the eldest princess ask. He didn't know about this matter yet.

The only thing I know is that yesterday, my brother seemed to have left Fengyang Palace and left quietly.

At that time, I only thought that he was playful. After all, he has always had such a temper. There were people around him, and the second prince didn't think too much about it. He took a nap when it was time to take a nap. Unexpectedly, he went to the palace to study firecrackers.

"Good sister, let's go out and play for a while, I haven't let the firecrackers go by myself! If it's impossible, let the palace people let them go!" Begging the eldest princess, the eldest prince knew that if the elder sister disagreed, he wouldn't even think about it. go out and play.

"No, it's dark outside, it's cold and slippery, what should I do if I fall down or something else happens?" Concubine Youhui taught, the eldest princess was very sensible, she shook her head with an attitude Very determined.

Concubine Hui was watching the song and dance, and didn't notice the movement of a few little things. Seeing that she was repeatedly rejected, the eldest prince seemed listless.

"It took me a long time to get some firecrackers out. If I can't play with them, isn't my effort in vain?" Looking outside the hall, compared with the inside of the hall, the outside is indeed dark, but in fact, the lanterns are lit outside, which is really accommodating Now, it doesn't feel dark anymore.

"If you want to play, you can play tomorrow. You don't have to go out at night. What should you do if something happens?"

Seeing his appearance, the eldest princess was a little soft-hearted, so she compromised and could play until tomorrow.

However, this still didn't make the Eldest Prince happy, he frowned and sat beside the Eldest Princess sullenly.

Even though he was like this, the eldest princess still didn't dare to let go. She didn't want anything to happen this year.

Sitting next to the eldest princess for a while, the eldest prince saw that the eldest princess would definitely not agree. He sighed, stood up, bowed his head, and walked towards his seat.

Seeing the appearance of the eldest prince, the eldest princess was angry and funny, she looked at the second prince, and motioned him to persuade him, "Han'er, go and persuade Hao'er, it will be the same when you play tomorrow, I will help you then." He asked Father for some fireworks and showed them to him at night."

Nodding his head, the second prince stood up and followed behind the eldest prince. The eldest princess waved to the little princess' nurse, asking her to carry the little princess in front of him.

The little princess was not light, chubby, the eldest princess couldn't hold her, so she let her sit beside her, took some food from Yongchun Palace, and fed it to the little princess.

Walking towards the first place, the First Prince was playing with the firecrackers that he took out just now, not many, just a few.

Looking at the firecrackers in his hand, he was not very happy, even if it was his favorite Chinese New Year.

I've been looking forward to the night, and finally it's night, but I can't even set off some firecrackers.

The second prince chased after him and persuaded his brother in a low voice. He knew that his brother loved to play, and he could understand sister Huang's worry.

Besides, it's just that they can't go out tonight. They can let people set off firecrackers in the daytime tomorrow, and they can set off fireworks at night, which is not bad.

The second prince is not particularly keen on playing, but because he is a twin, he can understand his elder brother.

The second prince's persuasion did not have much effect, and the eldest prince was still unhappy. After all, he was still a child and a prince. Even if Su Qingning didn't pamper him, he was still more precious than ordinary children.

As if in a fit of anger, the First Prince casually threw the firecrackers in his hand. Coincidentally, there was a candle flame not far away, and the fuse of the thrown firecrackers was ignited by the candle flame, which immediately made a loud noise.

Most of the people in the hall were watching the singing and dancing, when suddenly there was a lot of movement, the singing and dancing stopped immediately, and guards rushed in with weapons in their hands, watching the situation in the hall warily.

The eldest prince stood in place, completely frightened. He never thought that such a situation would happen due to his unintentional actions.

Emperor Chen and Su Qingning both stood up. At this moment, there was the smell of firecrackers going off in the hall, and their eyes fell on the place where the sound was heard just now.

"What's going on?" Su Qingning asked, asking the frightened first prince and second prince, because in the palace, when the two went to the princess's side, they didn't let the palace people follow, so there was almost no one besides the two of them. know what happened.

The eldest princess smelled the smell of firecrackers after they were lit, and looked at the frightened first prince and second prince, so she stood up and saluted the empress.

"I ask the father and mother to forgive me. It's the fault of my son. I didn't take good care of the two emperor brothers. The sound just now should be related to the firecrackers being lit. I ask father and mother to punish the son and forgive the two emperor brothers."
