Chapter 391 New Year Celebration

The two-day exhibition passed quickly, and the square area was also rearranged; a stage was set up in the middle, lanterns and colorful satin were hung around it, and fluttering flags filled the Beicheng area. The Secretariat promoted the year-end for a week. The celebration has finally arrived.

Since the Machinery Bureau is on the east side of the square area, the best viewing spot is the top floors of several buildings in the compound. Mo Yun temporarily reinforced the roof so that it can be used as a VIP seat.

By the afternoon, the crowds of people arriving one after another have occupied every open space around the stage. The weather today is also very good. The cold wind blowing from the sea has almost subsided, and a rare glimpse of light appears in the gray sky. bright colors.

Some sharp-eyed residents have noticed that there is an occasional flash of light in the clouds, as if something is traveling through the sky.

Various rumors about dragons have become the subject of much discussion.

Although the newspaper showed Chi's true face, it was still hard for everyone to believe that the small-looking girl in the portrait could be a real dragon soaring through the nine heavens.

"Is Chi okay?" Xia Fan called Kong Xuanzi to his side with some worry, "If she flies in the sky now, will she consume too much energy?"

When a demon transforms, it needs Qi to support it. According to Li, it is best to transform back and rest for a while every half an hour. If you continue to use your abilities, half a day is the limit.

This is the result of repeated practice.

"Please rest assured, she has stayed in heaven for a longer time." Kong Xuanzi replied with his hands in hand.

"Really?" Xia Fan raised his eyebrows, "It seems she is in good spirits today."

It should be said... that he was too energetic. Kong Xuanzi smiled bitterly in his heart. After following Lord Chi for so long, this was the first time he saw him having insomnia. When he saw Lord Chi in the morning, he was even shocked - not only did Chi forget to take care of his fluffy hair, his eyes were as wide as copper bells, and there was a faint black shadow around his eye sockets, even if it was During her journey to the six countries, she had never neglected her appearance so much.

Fortunately, it's better to be in good spirits than sad.

Today is the day when Master Chi becomes the center of the people's celebration for the first time and turns the descriptions in Penglai ancient books into reality again. It is inevitable that his mood will fluctuate.

Kong Xuanzi's only worry was Chi's singing.

After confirming the repertoire and officially entering the rehearsal stage, he separated from Master Chi - after all, as a man, he was not suitable to enter the inner courtyard full of girls, so he did not know how Chi was progressing. If the results shown that day were followed, it would definitely lead to a disaster. The only thing he could believe now was that Master Chi had completely reversed the defect of tone-deafness through his own efforts.

She was not born perfect.

But she never gave up moving forward. Even in Penglai's darkest moments, she still believed that one day the trust between dragons and people would be rebuilt.

It's time, Lord Chi! Kong Xuanzi shouted for him in his heart.

Let all the world see your heroic appearance! Then realize your wish amidst thunderous cheers!

Xia Fan returned to his seat and saw Ning Wanjun and Mo Yun walking towards this side.

"I have met His Highness."

The princess nodded and sat down on the seat on his left - this is not Fengyang Villa, and basic etiquette is still required in the spotlight.

After a moment, she tilted her head slightly and said, "I heard that you made up the music for the final celebration? Can the listeners still hear these things?"

"I don't know the reason, but I've heard quite a lot of songs since my awakening." Xia Fan followed her words and said, "The style of music is quite different, and the lyrics are simpler and more straightforward."

A smile appeared on Ning Wanjun's lips, "Then I'm looking forward to it."

"His Highness is quite accomplished in this area. Don't think you can get away with it easily." Mo Yun from the side interjected.

"Your Highness, Princess, still understands this?" Li curiously asked, sitting on the right side.

"It's just that I have learned a thing or two." Ning Wanjun said nonchalantly, "The heirs of the royal family have to learn a lot of things from the time they are born. It is not required to be proficient, but you must know that the rituals, music, and imperial books are included in it. Don't worry, I The requirements are not that high, even if you are a listener, it is impossible to cover everything. If you want to hold a large-scale celebration, I am afraid that only the old guys in the Ministry of Rites can understand all the tricks."

At this the princess smiled at him.

"——Although this is my first speech on stage in Jinxia, ​​what matters more is not the grand scale of the venue or how wonderful the celebration is, but the content of the speech itself, isn't it?

…

When night falls, Jinxia City is not only not shrouded in darkness, but instead shines brightly against the firelight.

The bright red lanterns on the streets formed a long criss-crossing line with no end as far as the eye could see, clearly outlining the city's traffic network; blazing bonfires were lit on all four walls, blocking out the twilight of the earth.

The area around the square is even more brightly lit, with large candlesticks, torches, and oil lamps placed densely around the stage, making it the most dazzling center in Jinxia City.

In the firelight that twinkled like stars, the last day's celebration kicked off.

Ning Wanjun stood up and used the effect of the amplified notes to say New Year's greetings to the people below——

"Some people say that the end of the year is a time for reunions, and you should go back to your hometown to visit."

"Some people also say that the end of the year is a time for celebration. If you are used to it, you have to enjoy it on this day."

"These are all correct."

"But you don't have to travel far, and you don't have to suffer until now."

"Those who cannot go back, Jinxia is your new hometown. Those who have suffered before, Jinxia can give you long-term happiness and health."

"In the past six months, many unusual things have happened in the city. The aristocratic families have colluded with the government officials, and bandits have invaded overseas, but everyone has persisted. Not only that, life has gotten better and better! I am very pleased. Seeing this, I hereby promise that as long as you continue to make progress and contribute your strength to Jinxia City, this city will definitely repay you a hundredfold!”

"I know that many of you come from all over the world, and the reasons are different. Some are forced to do so, and some are traveling on their own initiative to find new opportunities... But since you are here, Jinxia City will not miss it."

"Regardless of origin or birth here; whether human or monster, all settlers here have only one identity, and that is Shenzhou Jinxia people! Your contributions will be treated equally, and your rewards will also be Indestructible!"

"I promise you in the name of Princess Guangping!"

The crowd suddenly burst into cheers.

Many people even knelt down on one knee to show respect for the princess in this way.

"Then I declare that the New Year celebration begins!"

Ning Wanjun finally concluded her speech.
