At four o'clock, the lights are on, and the light is also rising!

The full moon in the sky has slowly climbed up to the top of the willows, and the girl has also appeared after dusk, but instead of dating you, she has gone to the street to see the lanterns.

This year's lanterns are more exciting than in previous years, in fact, as long as they are similar to previous years, or even almost all, it doesn't matter, because the most important thing is not the lanterns, but to watch the lanterns with relatives and friends.

There are two kinds of lanterns, one is fixed, generally on the buildings on both sides of the street, some buildings just hold up the façade, some are not only the façade, even the roof will have lanterns, and even theme lanterns, how beautiful and beautiful.

In fact, this is also a good means of publicity, so at this time, many businesses are also using their imagination to turn their products into lanterns.

There was a time when it was banned because it was too competitive, but it was later liberalized, but it was restricted.

And there are many fixed lanterns, everything you can think of will definitely be in it, and what you can't think of may also be in it, in short, everywhere.

In addition to the fixed ones, of course, there are also mobile ones, the most gorgeous of which is the giant themed lightboat that crashes into a large vehicle, because it originally resembles a dragon boat, also called a dragon boat, which is different from a dragon boat in the water.

This dragon boat is a variety of mythological characters and celebrities allusions on it, forming a gorgeous large-scale theme lantern, later with the development of technology and the construction of people's spiritual civilization, this lantern ship form is more and more, some are made into the style of the fairy flying, and the fairy can still move, giving people a feeling of really going to fly.

There are countless lanterns like this, and this year is no different, all kinds of gorgeous lantern boats parade through the road, and the route of this parade is fixed, and the time is also the same, they will parade in the city until the end of the unitary time, and when the time begins, they will appear at the end of Suzaku Street, in front of Suzaku Gate.

Suzaku Gate is the south gate of the palace, there are five gates, and the timing of the opening of these five gates is a rule, the more important the more middle, this is the simplest explanation that can summarize this rule.

And as a royal palace, there must be a city wall, although this city wall is already a bit useless for defense, because such a height is easy for cultivators to cross, and this height beyond the ordinary stage can already leap up.

Of course, the palace must have a rune array to defend against, and if you don't want to come in through the door, unless you're strong enough to break the defense, don't think about it.

To get back to the point, when the lanterns come to the Suzaku Gate, they will parade in the square in front of the Suzaku Gate, waiting for the young king, no, the king of the Dayue Kingdom to appear.

If the monarch did not retreat and cultivate, he would definitely come out at this moment, and if he retreated, it could only be replaced by other royal families, and there would also be virtuous and respected ministers who would come out to speak, which everyone was used to and knew that the monarch might not necessarily appear.

Is there a state banquet in the palace?

No, no, no, this is just a convention, even if there is a state banquet, the monarch may not appear, this is normal in any kingdom, and the Tang Empire is the same, the empress may not appear in this Shangyuan Festival event, but everyone will reserve her role, her appearance will make the people have a sense of pilgrimage.

And the pilgrimage does not necessarily expect to be seen every year, it is okay to see it every few years, and even once every ten years or so is normal.

Seeing it once makes you feel honored for a lifetime, and that's what it's like to be on a pilgrimage.

As the lantern procession advanced, the people also followed, and most of the people still carried their own lanterns, if you look at it in the sky, it is like a -

Snake!

Well, the brightly lit snake will increase the length of its tail everywhere it goes, and it will get longer and longer, and the interesting thing is that since the road in the city is completely like a chessboard, this turn is also a ninety degree angle, and the trajectory of the "walking" is also straight and straight, which is really like a snake.

Behind this prosperity is the dark side, now Ye Guzhou and other bad people are operating on this dark side, they want to stop the attack on the lantern team, once the other party succeeds, the people will suffer heavy casualties, and then these high-ranking officials in the Yue Capital will be collectively punished, and the face of the monarch will be very bad.

As for the Datang Mansion, it is also uncomfortable, after all, many things here are managed by the Datang Mansion, otherwise how could the bad department and Dali Temple have a branch here.

The Great Yue Kingdom is not a kingdom that is managed by the Tang Dynasty, and the officials are self-appointed, but there may also be people from the Tang Dynasty, as long as they are capable enough, they are not afraid of whom, and the Tang Dynasty Government also has a wide network of contacts, and it is easy to do some things.

However, although the Dayue Kingdom does not let the Datang government take charge of government affairs, but let the people of the Datang government manage public security and justice issues, so that the whole empire can arrest people online, so that it will not be impossible to arrest some wanted criminals because of different local laws, well, whether it is to be arrested by yourself or by others, it will be very troublesome.

Besides, this kind of thing is handed over to the Tang Dynasty government and is too lazy to deal with some things.

This method of the Great Yue Kingdom is also used by many kingdoms, and those who can generally do this are also confident, that is, the kingdom with a relatively developed economy, if the economy is not developed enough, and it is not enough money to feed the bad Si Dali Temple, etc., it is better to take care of it all, so that the Tang government will be responsible for its own profits and losses.

Therefore, some poor places are often all let the Tang Dynasty government come, and some rich places don't even have the yamen of the Tang Dynasty government, they can do it themselves, but in fact, it is rarely more cost-effective than the Yamen of the Tang Dynasty.

All in all, if something happens here, the Datang Mansion will be slapped in the face first, so the Datang Mansion will not let this kind of thing happen, and they are doing their best to investigate it.

It's just that the Yuedu City is so big, and the procession is running all over the city, and the people following are so mixed, trying to find the secret Demon Sect and the people who collude with the Demon Sect, it is almost a needle in a haystack.

Fortunately, Ye Guzhou and others grasped the information at the last moment and prevented the attack at a critical moment, and the thrilling process during the period is not explained, this kind of thing is actually very common, even when it was in Chang'an, this is the reason for the existence of the bad department and other yamen, and secretly resolve these crises.

Then, Ye Guzhou continued to move forward with the lantern procession, I am afraid that there are still some remnants, and I feel that in the square of the Vermilion Bird Gate, there may be something happening, so I must stay behind.

Suzaku Gate, the cheers of the people resounded through the heavens and the earth, just because the monarch appeared, which made the hearts of the people present very excited, but soon they found something that made them feel a little confused.

At this time, there was a woman beside the monarch, this was a woman they had never seen before, the woman was very beautiful, but it was not to say that the country was overwhelmed, if this point alone stood on the side of the monarch, it would definitely be weak.

However, the woman's body exudes this kind of aura, and I don't know how to explain this aura, it seems to be a noble aura, and it seems to be the aura of a strong man, but it seems to be nothing.

It makes people close, but respectful and far away, this is like seeing a saint, indescribable, and this mysterious atmosphere makes the woman not weaker than the monarch at all.

And at this time, Ye Guzhou's eyes widened and he exclaimed two words-

"Auntie!"
