Huo Qijing looked at her in silence.
Perhaps he realized that she was not joking, so he slowly said: "If you want... practice for another ten years?"
Yan Shiyue was speechless for a moment.
Why is his reaction always so real, not at all happy! What kind of queen is she if she can't kill everyone! What kind of knight is he if he can't be omnipotent!
She looked at him with disappointment and went out silently.
The closer it gets to the New Year, the more lively the capital becomes.
Yan Shiyue, who had not been seen for a long time, was almost considered dead by everyone.
Yan Shirui, Yan Shitu, and even Yan Chengyuan and Meng Min, all started to come here every now and then, successfully creating a very bleak atmosphere. Many people were worried that if she couldn't even make it through this year, then they wouldn't be able to have a good time either.
When it was time to get off duty, Tang Xiu blocked the palace gate.
They knew each other in Jubao Village. Tang Xiu was not afraid of him, so she asked directly: "Master Huo, how is my master? Why can't I go to see her?"
...
...
Huo Qijing hesitated for a moment, but got off the horse and said, "She's fine. But you can't go see her now."
Perhaps remembering that he was her teacher, Huo Qijing said a few more words: "Is it possible that someone has been mentioning this to you? Their purpose is to use you to find out her situation. You should think about it carefully."
Tang Xiu was stunned for a moment, then seemed to be thinking about something.
Huo Qijing nodded at her and was about to leave. Tang Xiu suddenly took a step closer and said in a low voice: "Huo Qijing! If you dare to let my master down, I will definitely kill you! I mean what I say!"
She stormed off.
Meow meow meow? Even Yan Shiyue was startled...I didn't expect the little disciple to be so cruel.
Tang Xiu must have heard the news about the offspring. In fact, this matter was discussed on the surface, but between Yan Shiyue and him, it was still a tacit understanding that could not be mentioned.
Huo Qijing turned his head silently and glanced at Yan Shiyue dimly.
Yan Shiyue pretended not to see it.
This time she pretended to be dead according to the order.
Emperor Ming Yandi seemed to want to deal with Jin Hejiao, so he suppressed her news... As a political novice, she couldn't figure out why or how he did it, but from what she heard from Emperor Ming Yandi, the news would be suppressed until after the New Year.
In the blink of an eye, it is the Little New Year.
Yan Shiyue still didn't show up.
This time, it was Xu Wenqu who blocked the door. He asked softly, "Is it that the news cannot be leaked?"
Huo Qijing nodded.
Xu Wenqu whispered, "What is the actual situation?"
He also said softly, "It's almost healed, just take care of it slowly."
Xu Wenqu nodded, his face full of worry, as if he had heard the news that she was about to die...
In this world, anyone can become the best actor.
Yan Shiyue looked at him silently. Xu Wenqu noticed something and glanced at her.
After all, she was a professional, so Xu Wenqu probably didn't notice anything, so he retracted his gaze and said, "Recently, there are rumors in the capital that you have been too close to a woman. Is this true?"
Huo Qijing frowned: "No."
He thought for a moment and said, "If it's a woman, it should be Yue Er's disciple."
Xu Wenqu also knew Tang Xiu, so he nodded and sneered, "What a lively scene, with so many demons dancing wildly!"
He didn't say anything more, just nodded and left, his brows furrowed and his steps hurried.
In fact, Yan Shiyue now feels that he has almost recovered.
Although Su Ji said that she was still strong on the outside but weak on the inside, she could now patrol the palace in one breath without any effort. Even Huo Qijing praised her for her talent, but I don't know whether it was true or not.
Yan Shiyue still did not show up until the New Year's Eve banquet. I guess the civil officials had already prepared their eulogies.
Just when all the officials were trembling with fear, Yan Shiyue and Huo Qijing quietly entered the city.
Since her first year, she had wanted to come to the exorcism ceremony on New Year's Eve with Huo Qijing, but it was not until this year that she finally had the chance!
Yan Shiyue picked out two big red ghost masks and each of them wore one. Qing Weiliao, Ren Dong, Huo Nan and a few others also wore one and then dispersed.
The Nuo exorcism ceremony was extremely lively. Yan Shiyue and Huo Qijing held hands and followed the Nuo elder, Nuo mother and the child protectors. The group of people walked and danced, beat gongs and drums, and sang Nuo exorcism songs.
"Just as I walked from a distance to the door, I encountered a group of ghosts. Among them was a stupid and rough one, squatting on the grass at the base of the eaves, with red flames all over his body, which scared people into a mess..."
Although it was night, every household had a big fire burning, and the flames were soaring into the sky. This is a unique custom on New Year's Eve, called "Ting Liao". From time to time, you can see a big family holding hands and singing and dancing, which is really no less than modern people.
This atmosphere is really contagious.
Ever since Yan Shiyue came out of Jubao Village, she and Huo Qijing have been spending less time together than together. This is the first time in two years that they have been together day and night like they have been recently.
The longer I spend with him, the more I like him.
The more noise he makes, the more I like him.
I just like the way he looks serious, yet is helpless because of her troubles.
She tickled the palm of his hand with her fingers, looking up at him from time to time.
He seemed to be able to sense it every time. Every time she saw his bright red ghost mask turned towards her, she felt her heart beating violently, thinking that his eyes under the mask must be slightly curved.
She couldn't help but stand on tiptoe, and their masks collided with each other, like a kiss.
Huo Qijing smiled, put his arms around her waist, and put the mask against her forehead.
Yan Shiyue was in a very good mood. She hummed a song and pulled him along while dancing.
In a restaurant not far away, someone was looking at this side from afar, his eyes swept across her right hand wrapped in a handkerchief, his brows furrowed.
Yan Shiyue was walking and dancing happily as she passed by the teahouse. The man kept watching them as they passed by. When he looked down, he saw Ren Dong at a glance.
Under the flickering firelight, the tattoo on Ren Dong's face was very conspicuous. He was looking down with a frown, tying the broken rope of the mask.
The person next to him was wearing a green mask and was talking to him with his head tilted. A sentence floated over with the wind: If you put a line here too, people will think you are wearing a mask, hahahaha…
If Yan Shiyue was really dying, how could his disciple be in the mood to play?
And they are here, who could be in the front?
He quickly left the teahouse.
Yan Shiyue followed the Nuo Weng and Nuo Mu all the way to the palace, and then went back. There was a crowd of people, and there was a couple, who looked like an unmarried couple from their dress, who were squeezed and almost bumped into them, and kept apologizing.
Huo Qijing said it was okay and slightly turned sideways to block it.
Yan Shiyue was just about to take the opportunity to hug the little waist when he felt a chill on his face and the mask was taken off.
