At the beginning of the new year, everything in the world is thriving.
The court promulgated new laws one after another, allowing the people to recuperate and live a new life, and all walks of life, including scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, had a new look.
In a blink of an eye, it is March, with grass growing and birds singing.
The long-delayed ceremony of the new emperor's succession to the throne will also be held.
However, the ascension of the new king to the throne this time can be said to be a first for the human race.
Two emperors will be welcomed in the imperial city.
One is their emperor, and the other is his wife. Calling her just the queen would actually belittle her status.
Gai Qian, she is originally the goddess of the underworld.
He is the Human Emperor, she is the Ghost Emperor, and they work side by side to protect the human world and the underworld, to ensure peace in the world of the living, and to maintain order in the underworld.
Others seemed to take this coronation ceremony more seriously than he did. Xiao Chenyan didn't want to hold a big ceremony because he didn't want to waste time and money, while Qingwu simply thought it was too troublesome.
She likes to watch other people’s troubles, but when it comes to her own troubles, she has only three words to say: get out.
But this time, no matter how bad His Majesty Shasha's temper is, all the ghosts have to face the challenge.
We don't want you to feel it! We want us to feel it this time!
In this regard, Xiao Chenyan rarely betrayed his little ghost girl, and said that his coronation ceremony should be as simple and economical as possible.
But the appearance of my little ghost girl must be of the highest standard!
Qing Wu was fed up with these crazy people and ghosts, so as the day of the grand ceremony approached, she simply went to the mountain temple to find some peace and quiet.
Mu Ying and Huo Hongying also went there.
Huo Yi has formally proposed to Mu Ying, and the Mu family's ancestral home has long been returned to Mu Ying, but because of Qing Wu, Mu Ying and Xiao Yulang have been living in Prince Yan's mansion.
Although it was against the rules, no one dared to gossip.
The betrothal gifts prepared by Huo Yi filled ten carts, which were enough to circle Kyoto City halfway. On the day of the betrothal gift, the entire city of Kyoto was shaken.
The people were in an uproar, and many unmarried girls were so envious that their eyes turned red.
They all sighed with emotion, saying that General Huo had used all the rewards he had earned from his military merits over the years to propose marriage, which showed how much he loved Madam Mu.
I also felt a little sad, but no matter how sad I was, I had to swallow it down and dared not say it out loud.
The wedding of Huo Yi and Mu Ying was scheduled for this month. Before the wedding, Huo Yi was the Grand Marshal of Moxi, and Moxi still needed generals to guard it. He had stayed in Beijing long enough.
After Mu Ying married him, she was determined to go to Moxi.
Another reason why the wedding was scheduled for August was that the first thing Xiao Chenyan did after ascending the throne was to hold the civil and military examinations. Mu Ying had learned the news in advance from Qing Wu.
"The daughters of the Mu family are all women, and they are no less capable than men on the battlefield."
"Now Yulang also has his own ex-wife. I wasted the past ten years in the inner house. Now that I can ride a horse and hold a gun again, I also want to earn myself an ex-wife."
"Cousin, I want to be myself again. Not only the mother of Wang Yulang and the wife of Huo Yi, I want to be Mu Ying. I am a daughter of the Mu family, and I don't want to tarnish the reputation of the loyal and brave Mu family!"
Mu Ying wanted to take part in the military examination.
Qing Wu strongly agreed with this.
Princess Hui and Meng Huaiyu wanted to build a girls' school, while Mu Ying wanted to take part in the military examination to compete with men.
The prosperous world that she and Xiao Chenyan wanted should be like this, where both men and women can show their strengths.
Who says that women have to be confined to the inner chambers, handling chores and doing sewing and mending?
Henglu Mountain is full of spiritual energy, and the southern foot of the mountain is also a military camp of the Heroic Soul Army. Mu Yingtian competes with the Heroic Soul Army at the foot of the mountain, and returns to the Mountain Spirit Temple to rest at night, which is just right.
Huo Hongying herself was also accompanying them. She herself was a meritorious official in Dingbang County, and she also wanted to take part in the military examination this time.
The aunt and the sister-in-law are both companions and opponents.
The only thing that Qing Wu couldn't figure out was the other guy. She sat in the rocking chair, staring at Ye You who was acting as a temple priest in the Shanling Temple, wondering:
"What on earth are you doing here?"
"With your bad luck, the reputation of the Mountain Spirit Temple is about to be ruined by you. No one has prayed for a good fortune this morning?"
It was noon now and there were not many pilgrims.
Ye You threw his sleeves and snorted, "The fact that they got the worst fortune from me only means that those guys were destined to be unlucky. If they knew about it in advance, maybe they could have avoided it."
"Misfortunes often lead to blessings, they should thank me."
Qing Wu gave him a look and looked towards the temple entrance. A hurried figure ran in. It was Huo Hongying.
"Sister Princess, I'm back!"
Qing Wu hummed: "Why are you the only one here? Where is my cousin?"
Huo Hongying chuckled: "My elder brother went to the military camp, so I didn't want to leave him alone, so I came back early."
Qing Wu stretched out her tone and uttered "oh". She glanced at Ye You out of the corner of her eye and saw that he was still smiling falsely as if asking for a beating, but his mischievous eyes were staring at Huo Hongying.
But Huo Hongying didn't even look at him and went straight to the backyard to find food.
Ye You withdrew his gaze and accidentally met Qing Wu's eyes.
The corners of Qing Wu's lips gradually curled up, almost turning into a crooked mouth.
Night Tour: “…”
He stood up and threw his sleeves: "It's time for my brothers to drink milk."
"Take it easy." Qing Wu said playfully, "Tighten the musty smell on you, don't let it affect the girl."
Yeyou seemed not to understand, "I'm doing well, I feed my brother, there are no girls around him."
After saying that, he ran very quickly.
Qing Wu waved a palm-leaf fan and sneered.
Bi Xiaoyuan appeared out of nowhere, gnawing on the offerings from the altar of the mountain temple, mumbling as he chewed:
"I smelled a strange odor from Yeyou. What did he say? Have you played with those estrus cats and dogs in the human world recently?"
"What else can I say? I'm in love."
Qing Wu snorted. She hadn't expected that Yeyou Jubo would have evil intentions towards Huo Hongying. How were these two people and this ghost related?
"Huh?" Bi Xiaoyuan was startled. "Night tour? Him? This squinty-eyed guy...oh my ghost, whose girl is so unlucky? Is there black smoke coming out of her ancestors' graves?"
"The Huo family."
Bi Xiaoyuan: “…”
She couldn't figure it out even after her pen was burned out.
"Then...Awu, do you want to care? After Sister Mu Ying married General Huo, General Huo became your brother-in-law, right? The second Miss Huo is also our relative. Wandering around at night is not a disaster for others."
"For something like marriage, can it be accomplished just by his wish?"
Qing Wu sneered, but was not too worried about this.
She looked up at the sky, squinting her eyes and said, "This world has really changed."
The 'marriage' between Ye You and Huo Hongying turned out to be a perfect match. Their threads of love were actually entangled together, but Qing Wu couldn't see what would happen in the future.
Bi Xiaoyuan hesitated after hearing this, and the ball in his hand no longer smelled good.
"So... is this good or bad?"
"I don't know." Qing Wu waved the fan, staring at the sky, without saying a word.
Just now, she had a feeling.
Because of her and Xiao Chenyan, the connection between the human world and the netherworld has become closer. The human race has learned about the existence of gods and ghosts, and the mental power generated has caused some changes in the rules of the world.
Some things, I'm afraid, can no longer be concealed.
"By the way," Bi Xiaoyuan suddenly asked, "Where has Lord Jinwu been recently? I haven't seen him for a long time."
Qing Wu covered her lips and yawned, saying calmly: "I just went to return some things to my parents."
"But I think he couldn't control his alcohol addiction. He might have gotten drunk somewhere again."
Bi Xiaoyuan wondered: where does the thing end up?
What went into Awu's mouth and was also spit out?
Who has the nerve to do that?
