Chapter 67 Qixi Festival
These people were recruited by Ye Chenyin from all over the world. They all have talent in martial arts. Five months is not a long time, but it is enough to scare people.
"However," Ye Chenyin's expression changed, and he said with a playful smile: "Since our Majesty wants to play, then let's play with him first. Doesn't he care about face? I will give him enough face."
Emperor Gan is cunning and ruthless, and Ye Chenyin has experienced this a long time ago.
Since he and Ye Chenming are both his pawns, he will use them to the fullest.
In order to pave the way for Ye Chenyuan, the emperor used King Xiang Ye Chenming as a stepping stone and led him down a path of no return.
King Jing Ye Chenyin is portrayed as a demon who kills people without blinking an eye.
The other princes were sent to their fiefdoms early and were not allowed to return to the capital.
For his own selfish desires, he stole the minister's wife and took her for himself, forcing her to give birth to a child and refusing to acknowledge it.
In order to get to the top, he tricked a woman into supporting him, and finally betrayed her and married her, making her his queen.
In order to consolidate his position, he killed his father, brother, and anyone who posed a threat to him.
He is suspicious, but he wants his subjects to be loyal.
Military generals stationed at the border are not given higher military power, and military generals in the capital are not given real power.
It's really heartbreaking.
These things spread in Tianjing City in less than two hours and in Tianquan Kingdom in four hours.
Ye Chenyin really likes to ruin people's reputation and then start killing them.
The most lively topic today is not about love, but gossip about the emperor.
Older people have naturally heard of these things to some extent, and based on these things, they can guess most of the things.
But it will only become more and more outrageous, it is impossible for it to become better and better.
Siyu told Ye Chenyin the general story. Ye Chenyin didn't say anything, but focused on watching Rongyu choose clothes to wear tonight.
Today is Valentine's Day, dress up nicely so you can have a better date.
"Your Highness," Siyu hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Yang Lin stayed because of Rongyu. Now that Rongyu has woken up, should we tell him?"
Ye Chenyin continued to remain silent. He believed that Rong Yu would not follow Yang Lin. He was afraid of Yang Lin's feelings for him.
He would go crazy if she even had the slightest desire for Rong Yu, not to mention that Yang Lin thought they grew up together.
It is possible that Yang Lin's persistence towards Rong Yu might soften her heart, and then he might kill Yang Lin.
"Wait a little longer." Ye Chenyin said coldly.
Rongyu picked a light blue dress, which was refreshing and beautiful. Most importantly, it was thin, so it didn’t make her feel too hot when she wore it.
"Let's go."
Rongyu changed his clothes and walked out holding Ye Chenyin and Siyu's arms.
It was already four o'clock in the afternoon when Rongyu got up. After getting dressed, it was already five o'clock. If she took the carriage to the city, it would take until seven o'clock to arrive. There would definitely be a lot of people.
If you go any later, you don’t know if you can squeeze in.
The Qixi Lantern Festival is considered to be a relatively important lantern festival. There are a lot of people visiting every year, and there are tens of thousands of lanterns in the river.
This year is no exception. Although there are many rumors, it does not hinder the enjoyment of the lanterns.
Besides, this is something that the higher-ups should worry about, and they only talk about it behind their backs after dinner.
When the three of them arrived, there was already a huge crowd of people, and all they could see were heads.
Rongyu was originally looking forward to it, but she was a little disappointed when she saw so many people. There were too many people and she couldn’t have fun properly. The weather was hot and it was even more boring.
Ye Chenyin noticed that he was in a bad mood, so he took Rongyu's hand and asked, "If you don't want to go shopping, let's go back."
I wanted to go shopping, but there were too many people, always squeezing together, and the smell of sweat kept coming out, and I was afraid of fainting from the stench.
But there is an old saying: Since you are already here, you are here.
"Let's go for a walk." Rong Yu said.
Since we are already here, we can’t make a wasted trip, so we can just take a look around.
I have to say that the hands of the ancient people were really skillful. These lanterns are made just like the real ones, in all shapes and they look very beautiful.
Rong Yu fell in love with a rabbit-shaped lantern, which looked very similar to the one in a TV drama.
He wanted to, but he had to guess lantern riddles. He was not good at it and could only ask Ye Chenyin for help.
Ye Chenyin leaned forward and said, "Kiss me."
He's asking for a reward before the answer is even guessed. This guy is such a scoundrel.
Moreover, with so many people coming and going, if someone saw him, would His Royal Highness Prince Jing still have any dignity left?
Rong Yu whispered, "Can we go home and kiss?"
"Going home is more than just kissing."
Rong Yu rolled her eyes at him. We had a big meal last night, aren’t you full?
If he doesn't want to help, then he won't help. Rongyu stopped begging him, let go of his hand and walked forward.
Ye Chenyin chuckled and followed behind.
Rongyu saw another rabbit-shaped lantern and really liked it. He wanted it very much, but someone was unwilling to help him.
Forget it, if he doesn’t help, I’ll do it myself.
Rong Yu took two steps forward. The lantern owner was giving a riddle: "From a distance, flowers are colorful; from close up, birds are silent. Spring is gone, flowers remain; people come, birds are not startled."
Before Rongyu finished listening to the riddle, the other one had already answered it.
"painting."
This is too fast. Did he steal the question?
The boss came up with another one: "It can make the leaves fall in the third autumn, and the flowers bloom in the second month. It can make the waves three feet high across the river, and make the bamboos lean against the trees."
Why are ancient riddles so difficult? Can the answer be just one word for so many words?
"The wind." someone answered.
After hearing the two questions, Rong Yu really understood what the gap was. The books he had read were not enough for him to answer the riddle.
"Your Highness..." In the end, he still asked for help from Ye Chenyin. Rongyu held Ye Chenyin's hand and looked at him flatteringly.
The corners of Ye Chenyin's lips were almost stretched to the back of his head.
He leaned his face closer again: "Hmm?"
Be modest and shy, for the sake of the lanterns, endure.
He quickly kissed Ye Chenyin on the face, afraid that others would see it.
Although it's just a drop in the bucket, it's enough.
Then I heard the boss say, "When the six-petaled flowers flew into the house, I sat and watched the green bamboos turn into jade branches. Now it's a good time to go up to the high building and look out, covering all the evil roads in the world."
"Snow."
Ye Chenyin and another person answered at the same time.
The boss looked at the two of them in embarrassment, not knowing who to judge as the winner.
Ye Chenyin and Rongyu also looked over and saw two particularly conspicuous people on the opposite side. One was dressed in a dark green long gown, elegant and handsome, like an ink painting. The other was dressed in a white suit, handsome and lively, like the summer sun.
If it were a novel, the protagonist would be in a separate book.
Seeing these two people, my expression was as if flowing water was about to flow for two miles. They looked better than Ye Chenyuan and more attractive than Ye Chenyin.
It's really a mix of hooks and drops.
"Let's count it as that young man." The man like an ink painting spoke.
The voice is so beautiful that Rong Yu is almost melted by it.
Ye Chenyin leaned close to Rongyu's ear, his voice as cold as an ice cellar: "Is it beautiful?"
Rong Yu quickly put away his infatuated face and said to Ye Chenyin sincerely: "No one is as good-looking as His Highness."
Ye Chenyin was not coaxed and stared at him intently, as if warning him that he would not be forgiven if it happened again.
Rong Yu felt guilty and tried hard to smile to prove that what she said was true. She was afraid that she would be ruined again when she returned home tonight.
"A thousand forms and shapes are yet empty; hard water hides the mountains in layers. Countless seedlings are dying, yet there are still some vacant places where strange peaks appear."
"cloud."
They said it in unison again, but this time it was another man who answered.
The boss was embarrassed again and looked at the two of them.
The man opposite him had his arms folded across his chest, looking very relaxed.
If others faced Ye Chenyin, their aura would definitely be suppressed, but these two people were not afraid, they seemed to be even more awesome than Ye Chenyin.
Rongyu had a hunch that their identities must be extraordinary.
"Zao Zao, are these two new characters?"
"They're not really new characters, they're guest appearances. They're the protagonists of another book by the author, and they're here to make their presence felt. However, they're definitely more powerful and ruthless than Ye Chenyin."
'That makes me even more curious.'
Even more cruel than Ye Chenyin. I must go and see how cruel he is when I get back.
These two people also have the aura of the male protagonist, so the riddles will probably always be the same, which will be boring.
"Your Highness, I don't want the lanterns anymore. Let's go."
After saying that, he pulled Ye Chenyin away.
"Do you know who they are?" Ye Chenyin suddenly asked after walking for a while.
"How would I know him?" Rong Yu asked.
Ye Chenyin naturally didn't believe it. Based on his understanding of Rongyu, he knew that Rongyu was adaptable and could turn back immediately if he encountered any problems in the middle of doing something.
I wanted the lantern so badly just now, but suddenly I don't want it anymore. Either I can't answer the riddle or something happened to me.
It is impossible not to answer, and the only two people I met there were those two people. If they didn’t know each other, how could they say they didn’t want it so readily?
However, Rongyu didn't say anything, and he didn't plan to ask any further. Those two were obviously not coming for them, so there was naturally no need to make things difficult for Rongyu because of them.
If you don’t want flower lanterns anymore, then release lotus lanterns and make a few wishes.
They bought six lotus lanterns, two for each person, and the three of them walked to the river.
"I hope Ye Chenyin can be free from worries, live a peaceful life, and all evil spirits will be driven away." Rong Yu and Xu Wanyuan placed the lotus lantern on the water, gently moved the lotus lantern, and slowly floated away along the water.
Ye Chenyin and Siyu on the side looked at him silently.
Ye Chenyin's eyes were full of affection. Although what Rong Yu said was impossible to achieve, he was still very moved.
Siyu was like, is this how you release lotus lanterns? Shouldn't you write the name of the person praying on them before releasing them? Otherwise, how would the river god know who you're praying for?
Moreover, the words of blessing cannot be spoken out loud, otherwise they will not be effective.
But luckily I bought a lot and didn’t write my name on the first one, so I have a second chance.
Just make the same wish you made the first time the second time.
When Rongyu put away the lotus lantern and looked up at the bridge, he saw two familiar figures, who were also looking straight at him.
Her white clothes are whiter than snow and she is as gentle as jade.
At first glance, I thought I was seeing things, but when I noticed Ye Chenyin and Siyu, I was sure that I was not seeing things.
Rong Yu was also stunned when he saw Ye Chenyuan. This man was still so handsome.
Of course Ye Chenyin also noticed the people on the bridge.
During the five months that Rong Yu was sleeping, Ye Chenyuan often came to see her. Although he was surprised that her body had not decayed, he believed that Rong Yu was dead and persuaded Ye Chenyin to bury her.
But Ye Chenyin ignored him every time, so he stopped trying to persuade him and was also busy with political affairs and didn't come for more than ten days.
When they met here, she was actually standing in front of him.
A few of them found a teahouse and sat down to talk.
Ye Chenyuan stared at Rong Yu without blinking, while Shen Qinghe took his pulse.
