Qu Bufan, who was halfway through the meal, didn't care too much and responded to Yuan Niang's words. "Well, it's delicious! This is a real longevity noodle, such a long one, you are really amazing! ”

The happiest time is that my work has been recognized and praised by others! Yuan Niang was very happy when she saw that Qu Bufan had a good appetite and ate the noodles she made.

"Hehe, where, where. Prime Minister, you can eat to your satisfaction! ”

Seeing Yuan Niang's slightly satisfied smile, Qu Bufan suddenly felt a sense of warmth and belonging that he had never felt before. This home where someone looks at themselves and smiles contentedly, and someone accompanies them by their side, can be regarded as a complete home, right?

"Yuan Niang, it's good to have you by my side."

Yuan Niang was stunned, what is the situation, why did this man who usually hangs his son make such an affectionate appearance and frighten the baby!

The whole Great Qi country is now in turmoil, only in this Kyoto, it seems to be peaceful, and the people are still carrying out the various rituals of the festival in their entirety.

The 14th of July is the great day of the sacrifice. Midsummer has passed, autumn has just begun, and it is believed that ancestors will also return home to visit their children and grandchildren at this time, so it is necessary to worship ancestors. The worship day of the Great Qi Kingdom is basically set on the 14th day of July. On this day, people should invite the ancestors one by one, respectfully put them on the offering table specially for worship, and then insert incense in front of the tablet of each ancestor, and offer tea and rice three times every morning, noon and dusk until July 30. When it is returned, it burns paper money and clothes, or there are Buddhist and Taoist transcendent rituals.

At this time, various rituals were also being done in the palace.

On July 15th, release the river lanterns! Before Yuan Niang crossed, she also put river lanterns in her old home when she was a child, but that kind of river lanterns have become a kind of entertainment. The Shangyuan lantern is on land, and the Zhongyuan lantern is in the water, because it is believed that ghosts are sinking there. River lanterns, also called lotus lanterns, are generally lamps or candles above the base. And the real purpose of the river lantern from ancient times is the water ghosts and other lonely ghosts in the Pudu water.

Legend has it that July 15 is a Halloween Festival, the dead souls and ghosts, can not survive, lingering in hell is very bitter, want to live only with the help of a river lantern on this day, hold it can be born. Probably this section of the road from the underworld to the yang is particularly hey, if there is no light, you can't see the road, so it is a good thing to wait for the house, but for Yuan Niang, in the past two years in this Great Qi country, she has not let go of the river lantern because of various things.

Qu Bufan took Yuan Niang, Dou Ding and Zhengxing to the river, and also took the lantern to put the river lantern.

"Wow, so many people, so many lights, mother, let's hurry over!"

The sky is a little dark, and the lively riverside is different from the light of the past. People have gone to the river to put river lanterns, but for children, it is also an interesting thing.

Like other children, Little Douding loves to play in the water, and he also likes to see the funny scene of this kind of lamp floating on the water.

Originally, looking at the child happy, Yuan Niang also smiled and squinted. But as she got closer and closer to the river, Yuan Niang suddenly felt a terrible headache. In a trance, it was as if he only saw those river lamps put into his eyeballs as if they were magnified, and his ears were full of buzzing sounds.

Originally, he was taking two quick steps to help Xiaodouding put the river lantern, but Qu Bufan inadvertently looked up and found that Yuan Niang did not follow, and he was holding his forehead with both hands, looking very painful.

Qu Bufan faded his smile, got up and walked quickly to Yuan Niang. "Yuan Niang, what's wrong with you?"

Yuan Niang's appearance was so scary, it really made Qu Bufan a little at a loss. Why, after Yuan Niang lit the river lantern, she looked as uncomfortable as if she was going to tear it?

"Ahh screaming loudly, Yuan Niang was not conscious, she only knew that there seemed to be something tearing and struggling in her mind at this time.

"No, I don't! Stay away from me, I don't want to go! I don't like these river lights! Dislike! ”

Qu Bufan grabbed Yuan Niang's shoulder, and clearly saw that Yuan Niang's eyes were open but there was no focus, as if she was frightened, and it seemed that she was not angry. I don't quite understand what Yuan Niang is talking about, but Qu Bufan has already realized that Yuan Niang probably can't put river lanterns. It was directly hugged Yuan Niang, who was in the midst of excitement, and hurriedly walked in the direction away from the river.

Xiao Douding was also frightened, and he was just looking at the river lantern on the water and clapping his hands happily, but after hearing his mother's uncontrollable cry, he turned back in fright.

"Mother, mother, don't scare me, what's wrong with you?"

Qu Bufan couldn't take care of other things, but Zhengxing was by Xiaodouding's side, and when he saw the two little short legs starting to run, he also anxiously ran over to catch up with the master and Yuan Niang.

The world is spinning, and Yuan Niang feels that there is something to withdraw from her body, but she seems to want to take away all her strength. However, it was at this time that a strong arm embraced him, as if pulling himself away from a whirlpool, and the darkness, which was as strong as a magnetic field, seemed to be gradually being pulled out of his pupils.

It was as if there were countless demons dancing in her ears, but they were suddenly driven away, Yuan Niang suddenly saw the real world with her eyes, and saw that it was the beautiful man who was looking at her nervously in front of her, and sat down on a ground far away from the river.

What the hell is going on with this qiē? Why did this river lantern, which can carry ghosts, actually evoke countless terrifying feelings of its own? The wisp of soul of Yuan Niang herself has not left, she has been lurking in her body, even if there is a river lantern that supports life, she is still by her side and does not leave! In the end, what is this Yuan Niang thinking, why is she still not leaving? Why did she hold on to herself and refuse to leave?

Yuan Niang was already sweating profusely at the moment, raised her head, and met the man's concerned gaze, even if he didn't speak, Yuan Niang could feel deep anxiety. Smiling, Yuan Niang got up and said, "I'm scared, my lord, I'm fine." ”

In fact, Yuan Niang even wanted to say, fortunately, with you by your side, Qu Bufan!

Yuan Niang's movement was very large, which naturally attracted many onlookers. Among the people who looked at each other, there were two special faces hidden.

A man's voice sounded, "Master Qu! It turned out to be you? How did you end up here? ”

Qu Bufan turned his head suddenly, with a look of surprise on his face, but he hurriedly saluted the man. "Oh, Emperor, Lord Huang, why are you here?"

As soon as Yuan Niangmeng heard Qu Bufan hesitantly shouting out the title of Lord Huang, she understood the identity of the person in front of her. And the strange thing is that on the side of this so-called Lord Huang, a woman with a hood is always staring at herself!

"Hehe, I just brought my insiders out to see the excitement of the Midyear Festival, but I didn't expect that the most lively thing was Lord Qu, you here!"

Saying this, the so-called Lord Huang also rolled his eyes and secretly looked at the woman who had attracted everyone's attention just now.

The appearance is really good, and what is surprising is that this woman's eyes are very bright, and she has a very calm and confident temperament. However, a woman with such a noble temperament is actually wearing very ordinary clothes.

When Lord Huang frowned, Qu Bufan had already hurriedly replied respectfully, "Oh, isn't this the Midyear Festival, I also brought the people from the house out to watch the excitement." ”

Qu Bufan didn't take the initiative to introduce Yuan Niang's identity, and Lord Huang frowned, but he didn't ask again. It was at this time that Xiaodouding hugged his mother's thighs and begged for comfort.

"Mother, you scared me just now."

Yuan Niang smiled, bent down and hugged Xiaodou Ding to her face. In fact, Yuan Niang also felt a little guilty in her heart, fortunately, there was Zhengxing looking at the child, and she was really able to hurt the child with this kind of "illness" just now.

The woman in the hood smiled slightly, her red lips opened lightly, but her voice was exceptionally soft and pleasant. "It turns out that Master Qu brought a family member and a slave? Hehe, Master Qu is really kind-hearted, and the slaves and maids with children are so taken care of! ”

A slave and a maid, how can a woman who has crossed over listen to it? However, this Lord Huang is obviously that identity, this woman thinks about it a little, and Yuan Niang can naturally think of her identity. If you can't bear it, you have to endure it, smile, smile again, laugh at life!

That's right, these two people who are secretly guarding behind them are actually the emperor Huang Fujue and his lover Liu Yiyun!

It is precisely because of his love for Liu Yiyun and because Liu Yiyun wants to go out of the palace in micro-clothes that the emperor is rare to travel in civilian clothes on the night of this Midyear Festival.

Originally, when he saw Qu Bufan hugging a woman, Liu Yiyun clenched his fists. Once in the crowded festival crowd, Qu Bufan's small body protected himself from harm, but now he is protecting another woman! How many times has Qu Bufan rejected the emperor's good intentions and rejected so many beauties, Liu Yiyun thought that he couldn't forget himself, and he was also troubled by this, but he was also secretly happy and proud.

And what is this woman? Liu Yiyun is not an impulsive woman, after she observed carefully, she smiled with relief, it turned out that this was just a slave!

Qu Bufan smiled on the surface, but in his heart he was extremely anxious, why did the most disgusting couple in the world suddenly leave the palace for a private visit? If Yuan Niang's identity is known by this couple, together with the scene seen today, probably Yuan Niang will be in danger.

It was when Qu Bufan was thinking about how to open his mouth to divert the attention of the emperor and the queen, that a child shouted happily.

"Wow! Look, that river lantern over there is already far away! ”

A woman beside her, probably the child's mother, had a little sadness on her face at the moment. "Yes, it has floated away with the current, and it is probably a soul that can be reborn!"

Wronged souls, wronged souls, how many people died in this Great Qi country, and how many died of starvation, freezing, or disease because of their inability to survive?

It was next to Qu Bufan that there was a person who looked like a scholar and sighed. "What kind of court is this? When the people are not happy, our emperor can actually ignore it! What kind of world is this, corrupt officials are rampant, but honest officials are struggling! ”

An old man shook his head lightly, "The court doesn't give the people a way to live, and the people have to rebel, this is the so-called official forced rebellion!" ”

With another deep breath, the scholar seemed to be very angry. "Why are there no loyal ministers to advise these years? When the emperor insisted on executing the virtuous White Queen, and established the Liu family as the queen, he has intensified since then, treating the people insensitive and tyrannical! ”

The old man was silent at the moment, and sighed leisurely.

But the scholar raised his voice in excitement, "In my opinion, the Liu family is a fox who charms the master, just like Daji back then!" ”

There was also a young man next to him who heard the scholar's words, "Yes, the Liu family shouldn't be the queen!" ”

The old man glared and stretched out his hand to cover the scholar's mouth. "Don't say it, be careful that the Liu family hears it, you really won't die!"

The young man smiled bitterly, "Yes, you just said that the emperor is enough, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the emperor can't hear it!" But you said that the Liu family is definitely looking for death, you must know that the Liu family's minions are everywhere, and almost all the officials are the Liu family's henchmen! ”

It was by her own side, of course, Liu Yiyun heard the words of a few people, but compared to being angry, at this moment, she was also worried about the emperor's words.

Gently approaching the emperor's side, Liu Yiyun whispered, "Your Majesty, these people are too much, you won't take it seriously, right?" ”

Looking at the queen, the emperor said in a slightly lower voice, "Yun'er, don't you worry, am I that kind of foolish person?" You and your family are bent on me, how can these people slander me! ”

It's really unfortunate that this affectionate response made Yuan Niang hear it, and she couldn't complain! You're not confused? You're really confused!

Hearing the emperor's words, Liu Yiyun really looked at the emperor with gratitude and affection. However, it was the kung fu that said this, that is, there were two sù sù sturdy men, who suddenly appeared, and the two people who were still talking about the Liu clan just now were suddenly caught by these two men. And the person next to him who had been listening without saying a word, and the old man, although he had not been caught, had been frightened stupidly.

Yuan Niang was also stunned, this is too exaggerated, right? Why did the two people just discuss it, and then someone came to arrest them? And Qu Bufan was silent and didn't say a word.

Clear-eyed people can see it, not because of their amazing action, but because the Liu family's control over the capital is amazing! It was also these two people who did not shy away from talking on the street, but they really didn't expect that the minions of the Liu family could actually arrest people on the street, which shows the arrogance of the Liu family!

What is this not a slap in the face? Bang bang!

The emperor's face suddenly darkened!
