Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Prosperity of the Capital

The southern snowy country has a vast territory. The famous ancient city traveled thousands of miles a day to the capital city of Tianjin, and they walked for seven days.

Except for the fox demon Xiaohe who met in Gusang Town, they had nothing to do all the way, and they hurried day and night.

Mu Xie and Wan Yue led their horses and walked into the capital city of Tianjin, and they were attracted by the bustling scene of the capital, and both of them were obviously shocked.

In the evening, they found a hotel not far from the palace, and after the luggage was placed, they hurried out into the streets.

The prosperity of this capital shows the supremacy of the royal family and nobles. Qionglin Jade Palace, pavilions, pear trees on the side of the street are blooming, and the fragrance is overflowing.

The sound of the wind flute moves, and the singing and dancing are leveled. Even the various shops on this street are very well decorated and full of palatial colors. The whole capital is peaceful and prosperous.

"Wood Evil... Wood Evil..."

"Let's go to that street and have a look, there are so many people over there, it's so lively!" Wan Yue was elated, pointing to her right front, where there were a few lanterns hanging in the middle of the pavilions on both sides, and people were crowded with people at the street entrance.

"Okay, Sister Yue'er. Let's go over there and have a look..."

After a while, Mu Xie and Wan Yue crowded into the crowd.

"Poof... Puff..."

A pillar of fire erupted from the mouth of an acrobatic performer, provoking the onlookers to applaud again and again!

Here, an oily old man fiddled with three bowls and knocked on the ground, put a small stone in one of the bowls, and then quickly moved the position of the bowl with his hand, and shouted loudly at the same time: "Big brother, big sister, big brother, big sister, little sister, little children, everyone come and guess, the little stone is in that bowl!

This kind of lively scene, almost a few steps away, is a different scene. In each scene, there are one or more people who are eager to perform, and they show their talents, attracting groups of people to watch them. Of course, a hard-working performance is not purely free, but as long as you are happy, it is okay not to tip, but in this prosperous Tianjing City, even if one out of ten people is rewarded, it is enough for them to earn. In the eyes of these artists, Tianjing is the best platform to attract money.

"Bang Bang..."

Fireworks rose in the sky at the foot of another street, and with a loud bang, colorful sparks shot down, and in the dark sky, they were particularly dazzling and beautiful.

"Wow... It's beautiful!"

"Wood Evil... Wood Evil... Let's go to that street and have a look, Wanyue shouted excitedly. She jumped twice in excitement, and the kebab in her hand almost fell to the ground.

Then, before she could reply, she let out a "poof" laugh, grabbed Mu Xie's arm, and ran towards the fireworks.

"Alas, what's so new about this, why is this Wanyue like a girl at this moment. Mu Xie complained bitterly in his heart, and even despised Wanyue a little.

But he also knew that the children who grew up in this southern snowy country, except for the dignitaries in the capital, ordinary people were rare. Therefore, since I was a child, I grew up in Yulu Pavilion Wanyue, and I have actually seen it a few times.

"Bang bang..."

Several more fireworks flew into the sky, and the debris of the fireworks that had been extinguished before left the scene with visible white smoke. Fireworks come and go, and they compete with each other.

Mu Xie looked at the elated Wanyue, and secretly thought about Wanyue's character in his heart. This fairy aura is beautiful and moving, Wanyue is actually a very beautiful woman, if he didn't have Su Manxue, he might also fall in love with Wanyue.

Mu Xie looked at Wanyue from the side, Wanyue was looking at the romantic fireworks in the sky with a focused expression at the moment, with long eyelashes and a pair of big watery eyes, reflecting the fireworks and fireworks, which were very beautiful.

Mu Xie stared at Wanyue's eyes, looking at it stupidly, he thought of Su Manxue again, remembered the night when he stayed with the Forgetful River, and remembered him and Su Manxue, kissing each other affectionately.

"Manxue, what are you doing at the moment! Do you know how much I miss you? I have a lot to say to you!"

He then looked at the fireworks in the sky and shouted to himself.

And at this moment, Wanyue looked at the fireworks in the sky, and remembered a figure in her mind...

This was a scene several years ago, and Wanyue rushed from the famous ancient city to the shore of Qinyu Lake, holding two rolls of high-end cloth in her hands.

On the shore was a young man in white and a scholar holding two umbrellas. The young man in white was personable, dancing with a long sword in his hand, practicing his sword on the shore platform.

When Wanyue passed by the young man, a gust of wind suddenly blew, and the Bujuan in Wanyue's hand was blown away by the wind, and Wanyue hurriedly stepped on her hip, trying to grab the Bujuan who flew out, but under her feet, her whole body fell forward.

Seeing this, the young man in white hurriedly flew over, holding Bujuan with his left hand and Wanyue who was about to fall with his right hand.

The two looked at each other, one with a fairy temperament and the other with a handsome young man. Since then, a beautiful moment has been imprinted in each other's hearts.

At that time, it suddenly rained heavily in the sky, and the young man in white gave Wanyue an umbrella, and Wanyue was very grateful to each other and said their names to each other.

"My name is Wanyue and I live in Yulu Pavilion. ”

"My name is Liu Qingsong, and I live in..."

"Girl, your boat is docked..."The scholar saw that the boat had landed, and he didn't want to be drenched in soup, so he shouted anxiously, completely ignoring Dao Liu Qingsong.

"Okay, Young Master Liu, thank you for your umbrella, there will be a date later!" Wanyue said and hurriedly got on the boat.

"Talky!

"You just walk back slowly with me, and let the rain wash your head. Liu Qingsong, seeing that Wanyue's boat had gone away, scolded the scholar loudly.

"Young master, what's wrong with me!" the scholar looked innocent without a brain.

"Less nonsense. Walk back to me in the rain yourself. Liu Qingsong said indignantly.

"Young Master Liu is so handsome!" Wan Yue looked at Liu Qingsong, who had been far away on the shore for a long time, through the cabin, and thought to herself.

After a long time, the fireworks burned out.

"Sister Wanyue, let's go!"

"Sister Wanyue, I looked at the fireworks just now, with affection in my eyes, what do you think!"

"I was thinking..."

"I don't think about you anyway, you know?" Wanyue said indiscriminately.

In the distance, a man wielding two flaming wooden swords caught the attention of the two of them, and they walked closer to watch.

In the hands of the shirtless man, the fire dragon seemed to have life, and the firelight swirled and danced, and the tiger was vigorous. I saw him clinch the wooden sword around his neck, and then his body spun and somersaulted. Then he swirled the hilt around his wrist, and his skill must have taken a lot of painstaking work.

It was late at night, and many of the stalls and shops on the street were closed. Mu Xie and Wan Yue returned to the hotel.

Wanyue returned to the room, took a hot bath, and then slowly fell asleep. The wood demon went back to his room and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Mu Xie and Wanyue both changed into high-end dresses and went to the harem with the gifts that Zhuge Suya had carefully prepared for Princess Changle.

Princess Changle's birthday today was arranged by the order of the Empress Dowager Ji, and it was to celebrate her daughter's eighteenth birthday. It also shows the style of the Empress Dowager Ji, who enjoys with her ministers and is a mother in the world.

The banquet was arranged in the main hall of the Queen Mother's dormitory, Taishou Palace.

Hundreds of officials, large and small, came with all kinds of carefully prepared rare jewels and rare objects of great value, and formed a long queue at the registration office of the prayer register.

"All the civil and military officials are seated..."Gonggong Li shouted loudly.

In the main hall, officials are seated on the north side in order of official status and seniority, while wealthy merchants and dignitaries are seated on the south side of the main hall in turn.

When everyone entered the throne, the queen mother instructed Gonggong Li to arrange a banquet.

A little bit, all kinds of rare delicacies, placed on everyone's table. Each dish has a full range of flavors and flavors, and this is all from the hands of the imperial chef! The imperial chef is a person who serves the discerning taste buds of the emperor and the queen mother.

Mu Xie and Wan Yue were arranged in the second row, and they were obviously among the distinguished guests.

"The emperor has arrived..."

All the civil and military officials, rich businessmen and dignitaries knelt down one after another: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"All the Aiqing are flat," replied the emperor.

Above the main hall, the queen mother sits on the main seat, the emperor is on the left, and the princess is on the right.

"Today's mourning family is bothering you, I haven't had a glass of water and wine with all Aiqing for a long time, today's princess's eighteenth birthday, the mourning family wants to take this opportunity to talk to everyone and meet. The Queen Mother spoke to everyone in a cordial and slightly modest tone.

"The Queen Mother is still worried about everyone, the Queen Mother is a thousand years old!

"Okay, all Aiqing, everyone drinks happily today, only drinks and doesn't talk about business. I am happy today, everyone toasts together, I wish the Queen Mother a long life and good health, and a happy birthday to Princess Changle!"

"The emperor is free, I will wait for the first thing as respect, I wish the Queen Mother a blessing like the East China Sea, a longevity than Nanshan, and Princess Changle will come true and be happy!" replied to the officials.

Mu Xie fixed his eyes, and he looked at the young emperor with adoring eyes, the emperor was beautiful, about twenty years old, and his age was the same as himself.

How can everyone be equal? Like the emperor, the ninety-five honor, he was born with a golden key, and his status is high. And some little people are like themselves, the son of a little clerk.

A delicious meal, Mu Xie was not happy to eat, it was really the feeling that he wanted to eat, but he was afraid of embarrassing Zhuge Suya. Seeing that the other officials were all in a shy, with a tap, he stopped moving his chopsticks, and he tiptoed himself.

After the banquet was dismissed, several princes and several first-class dignitaries followed the queen mother and the emperor into the back hall, and the others waited for the fans to leave the hall and go home.

Mu Xie and Wan Yue walked out of the palace gate and walked slowly on the way back to the hotel.

"I really envy Princess Changle, the princess is so beautiful. The background is so noble. It's not like I don't even know who my parents are. Wanyue said enviously, and at the same time there was some self-deprecation in her words.

"Sister Wanyue, you fairy mortal, will you still envy the people in our world?" Mu Xie said jokingly.

"I'm not a fairy, I'm just a pathetic person. Wanyue was a little depressed.

"It's just a different background, the world is different. The fate is different, but everyone has the same time!"

"If you have passed a day, won't the emperor and princess also have a day? they will not have even half a minute more than you. Mu Xie continued to comfort Wan Yue and said.

Wanyue laughed, and the smile was sunny.

"Thank you, Mu Xie, I really appreciate you saying that!"

"Haha, it's nothing, I think it's okay to be thick-skinned, I'm a person who pursues a freewheeling life, unrestrained, don't compare with others, have no desires, and naturally will be much happier. ”

"Without so many annoying desires, there will be less crying, people will feel that they have become much simpler, and they will naturally be happy. ”

"Do you think so, Sister Wanyue. "Mu Xie is a little pretended, as if he has become a philosophical expert, and he will talk to Wanyue.
