Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Arrival of the Midyear Festival

Ye Xi slept all night, and she woke up after dawn. She got up and put on her shoes and socks by herself, and others wanted to help her, so she pushed others away, then sat down at the table, picked up chopsticks, and ate breakfast slowly. Her brother Haonan said that she should take good care of herself, so she was obedient, slept well, and ate well.

When Shen Yunche descended from the court, he came to his own dormitory, Changning Palace. Jingmu Hall was burned by her last night, and he had to take her back to his bedroom. But it's good, she's closer to herself.

Ye Xi was in the back garden of Changning Palace, she stood on the open-air covered bridge of the lotus pond, looking at the ten miles of lotus.

Her face was as indifferent as water, "Fanh, you say, if I jump off this lotus pond, can I go back to the past?" ”

When Fanli heard this, she was frightened, she grabbed Ye Xi and hurriedly advised, "Niangniang, don't scare the slave!" Even if the mother jumps, she can't go back to the past. ”

Fanli thought that she missed her former family too much, so she had this idea, in fact, she was wrong, she said that she had to go back to the past, if she could go back to the twenty-first century and never come to this world, then she would not have experienced so many life and death.

Ye Xi saw that she was so nervous, for fear that she would not be able to think about jumping in, she said funny, "Don't be afraid, I'm just talking!" ”

Ye Xi came to this world, it has been three years, and what she has experienced the most is parting, and it is still a death farewell, if she can, she would never come. When she thought of her family in that world, her own death, and the fact that they were going through the same death as herself, her heart ached.

Ye Xi prayed in his heart, may God bless, his Haonan brother can return to the 21st century, happy and healthy, and all the best!

Shen Yunche came to the back garden and looked at the weak woman on the bridge, as if the wind was blowing lightly and was about to fall, his heart hurt very much. He said in his heart, if you hate me, then hate me for the rest of your life!

Shen Yunche walked up the curved bridge and came to her, he shouted softly, "Jing'er! Ye Xi turned his head and glanced at it with an expression, then turned back and continued to look at the bright and delicate lotus flowers in front of him.

Shen Yunche looked at her eyes so deaf, just like looking at a stranger's eyes again, no, even stranger than a stranger, his heart was as cold as a bone.

Ye Xi asked Fanh, "Fanh, you say, how good would it be if I hadn't come to this world?" ”

When Shen Yunche heard her say this, the alarm bell sounded in his heart, and he was very afraid in his heart, afraid that she would do something stupid.

Fanli was also worried, "Niangniang, don't think about those unhappy things, Niangniang should relax and live well." ”

Ye Xi heard her say this, and sure enough, she didn't understand what she meant, she smiled at her coldly, "You, don't understand, no one understands what I said." The only person who understood what I meant is gone. She shook her head amusedly, she actually asked Fanliang, Fanli would know that she was not from this world, but from the 21st century.

Shen Yunche looked at her with a look of frustration on her face, he grabbed her shoulders, "Jing'er, without him, you still have me, what is in your heart, you can tell me, I will do it for you!" ”

Ye Xi hooked her lips with a sarcastic smile on her face, and her tone was sarcastic, "Oh! Then I want you to die, you, can you do it? ”

When Shen Yunche heard this, his eyes were full of grief, "You hate me so much, you can't wait for me to die!" ”

Ye Xi's tone was indifferent, "What does it have to do with me whether you die or not?" After she finished speaking, she pushed with both hands and said in a resolute tone, "Get out!" ”

When Shen Yunche heard this, it turned out that she hated me so much, and her life and death had nothing to do with her.

Shen Yunche pulled out Jing Yi's sword and handed it into her hand, "Since you hate me so much, then kill me with this sword, in this way, we can all be free!" "He was devastated and his heart ached.

Ye Xi held the sword, Jing Yi looked at this scene, he was so anxious, he was really afraid that Niangniang would kill His Majesty.

Ye Xi held the sword, looking at the body of the sword reflecting her cheeks, she sneered, but her mouth was commenting on the sword, "Hmm! The sword is good, and it should be able to blow and break hair. He smiled at Shen Yunche and commented.

After she finished evaluating the sword, she bypassed Shen Yunche and walked to Jing Yi's side, seeing that his face was full of panic and worry, and smiled skillfully, "Why, I'm afraid that I will kill him, don't worry, now I'm not interested in his life, and even less interested in him as a person." With that, she plunged her sword back into his scabbard.

Then, she glanced at the stunned hedge, "Brow, I'm hungry, go back!" ”

Shen Yunche saw that she ignored herself, in addition to being cold, she was still cold, Jing Yi looked at Niangniang completely dead, if it was a few days ago, Niangniang would definitely pick up the sword and stab Your Majesty with a sword, but today's Niangniang is normal than before, she still has a bright smile on her face, and she also talks to Your Majesty, but he is extremely uneasy in his heart, presumably His Majesty is more worried and panicked than him.

Ye Xi returned to the room and saw his two children, who were waiting for her, Ye Xi glanced at them, "Fanh, take some food for them, and after they finish eating, take them back to their dormitory." ”

The two children looked at their mother, who was detached from them, and they cried, "Mother, you can play with us!" Shen Yongchong cried and begged in his immature voice.

"Mother, don't ignore us!" Shen Sangyu also cried.

Ye Xi looked impatient, but seeing their pitiful appearance, she couldn't be ruthless.

Ye Xi looked at Fanhing, "Fanhing, let them go back!" ”

Fan Liang sighed and ordered the palace people to send them back to their bedrooms, Shen Yunche, who had just come back, saw that she was so indifferent to her children, he didn't know whether to be angry or angry, but who was to blame for all this, he could only blame himself.

Shen Yunche said in disbelief, "Jing'er, that's your child, how can you do this to them!" ”

Ye Xiqing smiled coldly, "Oh! Are they my children? Does it have anything to do with me? How did I not know? She spread her hands out to show she didn't know.

Shen Yunche's eyes were full of shock, what did she say? She didn't admit it was her own child.

Ye Xi sneered, "Fanh, when they come to me again in the future, they will say that I am dead." ”

Shen Yunche heard her heartless words, and pointed at her angrily, "You ......" but didn't know what to say?

Fan Li sighed helplessly, Jing Yi looked at the woman in front of her, she was still her, but her heart seemed to be gone, and with the death of that person last night, it disappeared completely.

Ye Xi sat at the table, looked at the delicacies on the table, picked up the chopsticks, chewed slowly, and completely ignored everyone's astonishment at her.

Ye Xi was eating lunch, "Fanh, remember to tell the dining room, the duck meat smells a little bloody, tell them to clean it up next time!" ”

Then she took another dish, tasted it, and commented to herself, "This bean is too light, remember to ask them to put more salt next time." ”

Then she scooped a spoonful of fish soup, tsk, shook her head and commented, "The fish soup is so fishy!" ”

Fanli could only nod according to his words, and sighed secretly in his heart, what happened to her? She never said that before.

At this time, when a palace maid was preparing vegetables, the plate in her hand was not stable, and Ye Xi kept saying that there was a problem with the meal at this time, which was frightening, and she accidentally poured the dish on the back of her hand and burned her.

The palace maid was so frightened that she knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, "Niangniang, please forgive me!" The slave didn't mean it, and asked the mother to forgive her sins! ”

Ye Xi snorted softly, and Shen Yunche next to him saw it, his eyes were full of anger, "Come on, pull this thing that doesn't know whether it's dead or alive, pull it down and kill it!" He was about to grab her hand, but Ye Xi didn't care and dodged him.

She walked up to the little palace maid with a bright smile on her face, "Wait." She saw that the eunuch next to her was about to drag her down, and she said something.

Everyone thought that she would spare her life, but they heard her words that were even more ruthless and cold than the emperor, "It's too cheap for you to die like this." Drag her down for me, cut off her hands, break her tendons, pierce my eyes, pull out her tongue, and starve me to death. ”

The palace maid's face was full of horror, more frightened than a cane, staring at her, unable to believe it. When she was dragged out, she was so shocked that she forgot to beg for mercy.

Everyone didn't seem to know the woman in front of them, and when they saw that she had just said those cold and heartless words, she still had the heart to sit on the table and eat, and everyone heard these words, and their backs were cold, and their bodies were cold and upside down.

Shen Yunche was more shocked than anyone else, she grabbed the hand of the woman in front of her and asked fearfully, "Jing'er, what's wrong with you?" Don't scare me, if you are angry, you will rush at me, if you are angry, you will attack me, you don't torture yourself, okay? ”

Ye Xi saw him holding his hand, and said lightly, "I'm fine, let go, I want to eat!" ”

Everyone said in their hearts that it was like nothing, and it felt like a completely different person overnight.

Shen Yunche looked at Jing'er like this, he would rather she make a lot of noise like in the past, not like today, which makes people feel so chilled.

Shen Yunche said sadly, "Jing'er, don't you want to leave here? I'll let you go, I'll let you go, and you're free from now on. ”

Ye Xi looked at him with a pair of lifeless eyes, "Did I say that you should let me go?" Don't worry, if you let me go in the future, I won't leave, isn't this what you want? I'm here to meet you! She smiled at him with a well-behaved and sensible tone.

Shen Yunche looked at her like this, he was incredible, his eyes were full of shock, and he retreated again and again.

The same is true of Fanhedge and Jingyi, the woman in front of her is terrifying, you see her laughing again, but you don't know what she is laughing at in her heart? Think again?

The time is about to reach the Midyear Festival, and each household begins to prepare to worship ancestors, worship ghosts, and recommend seasonal food. Ye Xi has been staying in the back garden of Changning Hall every day for more than 20 days, sitting in the pavilion, looking at the lotus pond, and sitting all day.

In Buddhism, the midyear festival is a Taoist saying, and in Buddhism, it is called the Bon Festival, and they all have their own legends.

In Taoism, the Zhongyuan Festival originated from the Emperor Sanguan. Taoism believes that the basic elements of heaven and earth are heaven, earth, and water, and they are collectively known as the Three Officials and the Emperor. Tianguan Ziwei the Great blessed on the fifteenth day of the first month, called the Shangyuan Festival (Lantern Festival); Emperor Qingxu pardoned sins, born on July 15, called the Middle Yuan Festival; Shuiguan Dongyin Emperor Xie was born on October 15, which is called the next Yuan Festival.

Buddhism says that Mu Lian saved her mother, according to legend, Mu Lian's mother was greedy and vicious, and after her death, she entered the hungry ghost road, and Mu Lian in order to give her mother a superbirth, so that she made a Bon Festival on the 15th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, and put the food in the basin for the lonely souls and wild ghosts of hell to enjoy.

The day before the Midyear Festival, Shen Yunche came to the Changning Palace.

Ye Xi sat in the gazebo in the back garden, when she saw her, she still didn't want to deal with him, she looked at the full moon in the sky, her heart was crazy, tomorrow was the Midyear Festival, she really wanted to go out to sacrifice to her family, put a sky lantern to pray for blessings.

Shen Yunche watched her look at the moon in the sky, and understood that she was missing her family, and he was here for this today.

Shen Yunche's tone of voice to her was as warm and tender as ever, "Jing'er, tomorrow is the Midyear Festival, I will let you out of the palace and go to the grave of the Su family." ”

He knew that if she was released from the palace, many people would come to rescue her, and although he had already taken precautions, he might still be rescued by others. But he also understands that she misses her family very much, and she wants to pay tribute to them in person, and she doesn't want to see her sullen all day.

Shen Yunche also wants to worship his ancestors tomorrow and go to the Taimiao, he knows that she hates the Shen family, so he doesn't say anything to let her accompany him to the Taimiao, and if she says it, she will bring humiliation on herself.

Ye Xi heard him say this, and was surprised in his heart, he was willing to let himself out of the palace, it was a good opportunity for him to escape, and it was also a good opportunity for him to be rescued, she looked at him suspiciously, what was the purpose?

Shen Yunche saw her suspicious face and smiled bitterly, "Don't worry, I don't have any purpose, I just want you to be happy." ”

Ye Xi was half-convinced, as soon as she left the palace, someone would definitely take the risk and save herself regardless of her safety, she was very conflicted now, she wanted to leave the palace, but she didn't want to leave the palace.

Ye Xi guessed that since Shen Yunche was willing to let him out of the palace, he must have made all preparations, and once someone came to save him on the way, there would be no return.

But she really misses her family, she hasn't spoken to them for nearly a year, she has chatted, and even after their deaths, she has not paid tribute to them.

Ye Xi thought about it for a while, and made a decision, this is a good opportunity to pay tribute to them, he must not miss it, if he misses this time, he doesn't know when he will be able to pay tribute to them in person.

Ye Xi still didn't speak, just nodded slightly, indicating that he was going to pay tribute to them.

Secretly paying attention to Zuoqiu Xuhe and Ye Yi in the Chengguo Palace, they heard the news, this is the best time to save her.
