The Secret of the Princess
The Spring Celebration
Before long Feng Hua came out of the bath, and was greeted by the Crown Prince from the front door.
Then the Crown Prince withdrew Feng Hua's hand and walked towards the table.On the table was available a variety of foods from the mustache, steamed, and fruiting.
"Sit down and eat" asked the Crown Prince.
"But my hair is still wet." Feng Hua said hesitantly.
"From morning you haven't eaten...I'm afraid you'll get sick later." said the Crown Prince worriedly.
"Alright" Feng Hua said, while pulling up a chair and sitting down.
"Just open your veil so you can eat it easily" asked the Crown Prince.
"Yes" said Feng Hua, as he opened his veil, then brought a bowl of tofu soup closer and ate it.
"Come on Yi.."command the Crown Prince.
Yi who heard an order from outside the room replied"Okay, Your Majesty.."
Yi entered and saluted the Crown Prince and Feng Hua, asking"What does Your Majesty need?"
"So Your Majesty already knows, if Miss Xiao Er has healed" muttered Yi in his eyes, while looking at Feng Hua without wearing a veil.
"Bring me a cloth to dry Xiao Er's hair" the Crown Prince said.
"Your Majesty" Yi said with a nod of his head.Then Yi took a fairly thick cloth from a closet, then gave it to the Crown Prince.
"Hopefully...Xiao Er's feelings improved, after coming to the celebration of spring tonight.Since from Uncle Fu's shop, Xiao Er silenced me" said the Crown Prince hoping to be seen, while drying Feng Hua's hair with a cloth given by Yi.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness the Crown Prince.Let me just dry the hair of His Highness the Crown Princess" Yi said respectfully.
"No need for Yi...I want to dry Xiao Er's hair...Later when it's dry, you're the one who styled it yes." said the Crown Prince politely.
"Your Majesty" Yi said with a nod of his head.
"Ohh yes, after this.When the sun has set...I'll take you to the Shanghe River"
"shanghe River?what's for?"
"Waiting the spring, as I promised at the time"
"I'm sorry Xiao Er.Xiao Er wants another time..."
"Can't be Xiao Er, today is the 15th day of the celebration...I've also made Pelita Harapan for us"
"It feels so lazy..."Feng Hua complained.
"alright...Then let's go there"
After Feng Hua finished his meal, though it did not run out.Then the Crown Prince asked Yi to style Feng Hua's hair and put his veil back on.
Feng Hua and the Crown Prince went to the Shanghe River, where the spring celebration would take place.They left with Xu's aide and 5-man shadow guards,ping and Ho use two horse-drawn carriages and two horses.
One horse carriage filled Feng Hua and the Crown Prince with the coachman Xu's aide, the other one contained the Pelita Harapan and 2 shadow guards belonging to the Crown Prince with the coachman of the Crown Prince's other shadow bodyguards,while 2 horses are climbed by Ping and Ho.

Every year, when peaches bloom for the first time, everyone in the Zhou kingdom celebrates the celebration of spring.
Among the royal court of Zhou, the celebration of spring was carried out for one day.In celebration, the Emperor would invite the monks to the palace to pray in the morning.Then in the evening, a banquet was held among the palace.
While among the people of Zhou kingdom.February celebration was held for 15 days at night, on the banks of the river Shanghe.Should only be held for one day only, but was changed to 15 days, but was changed to,because a lot of people sometimes can't come on that day.
They celebrate spring by lighting fireworks as a sign of the start of the celebration, then watching art shows, and,and it ends with each person throwing a Pelita Harapan in the Shanghe River stream (as the peak of spring celebrations).
Pelita Harapan is made of wax surrounded by bamboo/wood, coated with silk/paper that reads the hope/desire of the person who stretched it.The purpose of the silk/paper layer on the Pelita Harapan is so that the flame is not blown by the wind.
In addition, it is believed that the fire that is not extinguished can illuminate the path of hope/desire towards the Gods.The purpose of running Pelita Harapan is the fulfillment of one's hopes/desires.
The Shanghe River stretches between the Zhou kingdom and the Xia kingdom, the Shanghe River, including a fairly deep and wide river.
The Xia kingdom also held a celebration of spring, as well as the Zhou kingdom.Karna originally Xia kingdom was part of the Zhou kingdom, that's the color they held the same spring celebration with the Zhou kingdom.
However, over time, the region established its own kingdom called Xia.
For the sake of peace and order, along the banks of the Zhou and Xia kingdoms there were guards to guard each region for many years.

On arrival at the river Shanghe (night)
Fireworks are everywhere,coloring the dark blue sky with a little flickering starlight.Sign of spring celebration will soon begin.Then people began flocking to watch the art shows that began from the opera.
Goong~~
coming from Gong who was beaten by one of the opera members, it is a sign that the opera will be displayed soon.
Soon the opera performers appeared, accompanied by thunderous applause from the Zhou royal people who were enthusiastic in watching the opera.
"Come, we'll go there Xiao Er.." said the Crown Prince as he pulled Feng Hua's hand.
"Alright" Feng Hua said.
They quickly approached the show, with Xu's aide and shadow guards including Ping and Ho in disguise from behind.
"Finally we can get out of the palace" whispered Ping in Ho's ear.
"You're right...It feels really relieved.." said Ho whispered back.
"It's very stressful to be in the palace, want to go anywhere is not free.It feels like just want to get out of this job huhu" murmured Ping.
"Hussis..Stop this conversation!Don't forget...If we ever swear to protect the lady." said Ho firmly.
"You're right" Ping said with a sigh.
"And don't forget...Miss ever forgave our lives." Ho stressed.
"Yes, I remember.." cried Ping.
"What are you doing?!"shouted Xu.
"Ahaha...We are discussing how crowded it is right now" Ping said by opening his hands wide, so as to hit the people around him.
"Heyy, the right hand...Just interrupt..."The audience was grieved by Ping's hand.
Ping immediately opened his hand and said"Sorry...Sorry.."while paying your respects.
"You must keep an eye on His Majesty...Don't play around." Xu said firmly, with a little anger.
"alright.Alright...We understand" Ping said.
After that, Xu went to watch over the Crown Prince and also Feng Hua from a closer distance.
"Huh...Because you..
We get scolded by that fierce guy!"snapped Ho.
"I was not on purpose." Ping said evasively.
