The Dark Prince's Special Forces Concubine

Chapter 431: Fireworks Feast Inside and Outside the Imperial City

As the owner of a teahouse, Manager Zhang has extraordinary attainments in poetry and songs, and holds a certain status in the literary world.

Many of the literati who come here are attracted by Manager Zhang’s calligraphy and knowledge.

When Nangong Qi came to see Shopkeeper Zhang, he was surrounded by a group of students in a small private room on the second floor, who were asking him about painting.

Today, the shopkeeper Li Zhang kept replaying the scene of Mu Qingqing drawing the sketch in his mind. At this time, his response to the students' questions to him was a bit perfunctory.

When Shopkeeper Zhang heard the door open, he saw Su Yunhao and hurriedly pushed aside the students as if he had been pardoned, and walked towards Su Yunhao.

"Brother Su, does the princess have something to ask me?"

Shopkeeper Zhang said this, winked at Su Yunhao and pushed him to walk out together.

When the students heard that it was the princess looking for Shopkeeper Zhang, they gave up the idea of ​​continuing to seek advice from Shopkeeper Zhang.

Two of the students had seen Mu Qingqing compose ten poems on the theme of chrysanthemum in one breath at Qinya Garden. When they heard that it was Shopkeeper Zhang who was approached by the princess, they realized that he had written a poem about chrysanthemum.

He loudly told several foreign students in the same college about Mu Qingqing's incredible deeds in Qin Ya Garden that day.

This made several foreign students look at them like idiots: Don't bully us because we are foreigners and brag so much! You are almost blowing it off!

Several students from other countries shook their heads, indicating that they did not believe their boasting.

This made the two students very anxious. They kept scratching their heads and trying to think of ways: How can we make them believe that what they said is true!

Shopkeeper Zhang pushed Su Yunhao out of the small private room and let out a long sigh, "Brother Su, these students are so enthusiastic. Fortunately, you came to help me out..."

Su Yunhao naturally straightened his sleeves that were crumpled by Shopkeeper Zhang, and pointed his index finger at the No. 1 on the third floor: "Brother Zhang, the princess wants to see you."

"Huh? The princess is looking for me?"

Shopkeeper Zhang looked at Su Yunhao in astonishment and said, I was just finding an excuse to leave that small private room. Are you really not here to help me out?

Su Yunhao glanced at Shopkeeper Zhang and walked upstairs at a leisurely pace.

Brother Zhang, believe it or not, I have given you the chance!

You know, if the master takes the initiative to ask for it, it must be a good thing! It's a great thing!

Shopkeeper Zhang followed Su Yunhao into the private room with trepidation, and bowed stiffly to Ye Nanli and Mu Qingqing.

"I wonder what the princess wants to see me for?"

Mu Qingqing raised a faint smile at the corner of her lips, and her voice was clear and powerful: "Manager Zhang, there is no need to be polite. I came to you to thank you for saving such a good viewing position for me today. These fireworks on the ground are my gifts to Yu Ming Xuan to bid farewell to the old and usher in the new year, and celebrate with the people."

Shopkeeper Zhang learned about the word fireworks from a customer. The Sixth Princess once rewarded the people watching at the gate of the government office with a firework and a bag of candy each.

At that time, there were also rich young men who bought back fireworks and milk candies at high prices on the spot, and the news spread to every corner of the capital.

Shopkeeper Zhang had the honor of seeing the fireworks presented by Mu Qingqing. It was a palm-sized piece, and a young man brought it over to show off to a few friends.

The young man reluctantly took out one and set it off at the gate of Yu Ming Xuan.

The remaining fireworks that were bought at a high price would have to wait until the first day of the Lunar New Year to be set off at the gate of one’s house for good luck.

Shopkeeper Zhang followed the direction of Mu Qingqing's finger and saw a large pile of cardboard boxes neatly placed on the ground. He was very excited.

So many?! Give them all to me?!

That would have to be hundreds of fireworks. The Sixth Princess either doesn't make any fireworks, or when she does, it's a lavish one!

Mu Qingqing looked at the overjoyed Shopkeeper Zhang with amusement and asked jokingly, "Shopkeeper Zhang, how to set off fireworks? I don't need to teach you anymore, right?"

Shopkeeper Zhang suppressed the smile on his face and waved his hands at Mu Qingqing, "No, no, no! Princess, I still know a thing or two."

"Manager Zhang, in order to prevent mistakes, I'd better let someone demonstrate it to you!"

Mu Qingqing handed the windproof lighter to Nangong Qi, smiling like a flower: "Brother, it's your turn to perform. Let's go to the square in front of the Meridian Gate to perform."

By the way, get rid of the bad luck and drive away the resentment emanating from those people who were beheaded early this morning.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Qi excitedly picked up a deluxe version of fireworks and rushed to the square opposite with a "whoosh".

Shopkeeper Zhang couldn't help but look a little dumbfounded: It's just a demonstration, is it necessary for this young man to take away so much?

"Manager Zhang, you can arrange for someone to light the remaining fifteen fireworks! You can arrange for the guests of Yu Ming Xuan to go and watch! Remember, the location can only be in the square opposite."

Mu Qingqing pointed at the remaining fireworks on the ground and spoke to Shopkeeper Zhang with a smile.

The opportunity to make a lot of money is right in front of you. As for whether you can seize it, it depends on whether you have the ability to do so.

Shopkeeper Zhang and Su Yunhao looked at each other and saw affirmation in their good friend's eyes, so they happily thanked Mu Qingqing.

Although he was a little puzzled: there were so many fireworks on the ground, why did the princess say there were only fifteen?

Shopkeeper Zhang then explained the situation to the private rooms next door one by one, and specifically pointed out that he only had fifteen fireworks in stock.

If the other party is interested, he or she can go to the main entrance of Yu Ming Xuan and take a look first.

When Shopkeeper Zhang's lobby reached the lobby on the first floor, there was a sudden "whoosh" sound of fireworks rushing into the sky and colorful fireworks in the square.

The fireworks lit by Nangong Qi burst into brilliant light in an instant, injecting vitality into the lively night of the imperial city and making people excited.

Most of the guests at Yu Ming Xuan, having learned about the fireworks from Shopkeeper Zhang, crowded at the main door to watch.

The wealthy young men in the private room could no longer sit still, and they all ran to the first floor to surround Shopkeeper Zhang, wanting to get their hands on a deluxe version of fireworks.

Shopkeeper Zhang spoke at the right time, "Everyone, I only have fifteen fireworks in my hand. There are so many of you who want them, but it's not enough..."

"Shopkeeper Zhang, that's fine! The highest bidder wins!"

"Right, right, right! Shopkeeper Zhang, the highest bidder wins, it's fair and just! Let's start now, I can't wait to light the fireworks!"

"Manager Zhang, hurry up, we all agree, just start the auction!"

Just like that, Shopkeeper Zhang half-heartedly took the opportunity given to him by Mu Qingqing.

All fifteen deluxe edition fireworks were auctioned off at prices ranging from three hundred to five hundred taels, leaving not a single one behind and not offending a single customer.

The young men who won the luxury fireworks at the auction asked their servants to carry the fireworks to the center of the square and set them up as agreed.

The young masters lined up, waiting one after another to go up and light the fire.

The fireworks in the square once again cut through the night sky, drawing out brilliant streaks of light, like a visual feast in the sky.

At this time, colorful fireworks also bloomed in the palace, dotted in the night sky like stars, and reflected the fireworks in the square.

It feels like you sing and then I sing!

The fireworks bloomed vigorously in the night sky for half an hour, lighting up the entire sky above Shengjing City.

The people of Shengjing City rushed out to watch. For the first time in their lives, they realized that the night could be so beautiful!
