On the seventh day of the seventh month of July, the annual meeting day of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, the folk call this day the Beggar's Day, and it is rumored that on this day, the old man of the moon will personally go down to the earth to help the men and women who have wishes to realize their wishes.

It is said that if the name of the person you like is written on the river lantern and released, if the name on the other party's wish lamp happens to be herself, Yue Lao will secretly draw a red line to the two.

For those who are not in love with each other or the other party does not put the lights, Yue Lao will randomly select some lucky people to help them realize their wishes.

Although the theory of immortals is very false, most people still believe that sincerity is spiritual, and people's hearts always have expectations, and there is no harm in giving it a try.

Every year on Qixi Festival, during the day, the pilgrims of the Yuelao Temple are continuous, and at night, countless teenagers and girls will crowd to the river to put river lanterns.

Coincidentally, this day on the seventh day of the seventh month of July happened to be one of the two concubines, Qiao Youyan said that Concubine Qiao's birthday, and a banquet was held in the palace to celebrate her birthday.

The princes and ministers and the sons and daughters of various families, almost all the characters with heads and faces were invited to participate, and the grandeur of this birthday banquet shows that Concubine Qiao is full of favor.

Sitting on Bei Yingyan's side, Qiao Youyan was always smiling, dignified and decent, and she really looked like the mother of a country, but only she knew that the center was sour.

Bei Mingyan is very fond of her on the surface, but only she knows that men have never really cared about her, because she has never felt his warmth.

Although the man sat beside her, his eyes looked at someone in the banquet from time to time, and Qiao Youyan saw it in his eyes, and his heart was very delicious.

But on the surface, she still has to pretend to be happy, God knows that her face is about to stiffen with laughter.

"Your Majesty, today is Qixi Festival, folk rumors, put the river lantern to make a wish, there is a chance to let the old moon tie the bridge, you see, all the sons and daughters of Western Chu, there are many unmarried, and there are not a few who have reached the marriageable age, anyway, there is nothing to do after the banquet, why don't you hold a river lantern banquet in the palace like the folk?"

When everyone was eating and drinking, Qiao Youyan proposed to the man next to him.

"The birthday star is the biggest, as long as it is what the concubine wants to do, I agree!" Bei Mingyan responded with a smile.

Then, he turned to the people seated, "I think Concubine Ai's proposal is very good, what do you think?" ”

"The ministers also think that Niangniang's proposal is very good!" Clearly knowing the meaning of the saint, everyone in the hall responded in unison.

The older officials may not be interested, but many of the girls in the boudoir seem to be a little impatient for the river lantern banquet!

"According to what Concubine Ai said, after the dinner, everyone will move to the bank of the Mingyue River, put lamps and pray for blessings, unmarried people ask for marriage, and those who are married will enjoy the lanterns and make other wishes!"

In this way, after a while, everyone moved from the hall to the Mingyue River in the center of the palace.

The moonlight and candles are reflected on the river surface together, and in the sparkling waves, the uneven river lanterns are pushed forward by the breeze, which is really a beautiful scenery.

Holding a lotus lantern, He Muwan slowly squatted down by the river, carefully put the lamp into the river, she scooped up a handful of water with her hand, gently pushed the river lantern, and let it float forward along the river path.

"Whose name did you write on the lantern?"

A man's voice suddenly sounded behind her, He Muwan was startled, her feet slipped, and she almost fell into the river, but fortunately, the man was agile and pulled her back.

"Bei Mingchen, don't you know that people can scare people to death?" Standing firmly, He Muwan yelled at the man with a displeasure.

"Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, what are you afraid of? Could it be that you have done something to be sorry for this king? Bei Mingchen raised his eyebrows and asked.

"What can I do to be sorry for you!" He Muwan said dissatisfied.

"That's hard to say, like ......"

"You wrote the names of men other than this king on the note in the river lantern!" As he spoke, Bei Mingchen had already squatted down and scooped up the river lantern that the woman had just released.

"Bei Mingchen, what are you doing, you give it back to me!" Seeing this, He Muwan said as she reached out to grab the river lantern that was held by the man in her hand.

But compared with men, she is too short, Bei Mingchen lifted the river lamp above her head, and He Muwan couldn't reach it whether she was tiptoeing or jumping high.

took out the note pressed in the middle of the river lamp, and Bei Mingchen stuffed the river lamp back to He Muwan, "This will be returned to you!" ”

"Boring!" muttered, He Muwan didn't stop anymore, and let the man unfold the note.

Looking at the note in his hand, Bei Mingchen couldn't help frowning slightly, it turned out to be blank, and there was not even a word.

"Don't you have any wishes?" With a serious face, he asked the woman next to him with his eyes.

"Yes! I'm just a mortal, how can I have no desires? ”

"Then why didn't you write anything?" The man was puzzled and continued to ask.

"Can it really be realized if you write it, it is enough to put your wish in your heart!" He Muwan responded with a light smile.

"What is your greatest wish in your heart? Do you want to have the opportunity to stay with the emperor's brother? Bei Mingchen lowered his voice.

"If I say you don't believe it?" Looking at the man, He Muwan asked without answering.

Just staring quietly into the distance, Bei Yingchen didn't say a word, and after a while, He Muwan smiled faintly and continued: "My wish is to hope that everything can be safe and sound!" ”

"No matter what kind of changes will happen in the future, I only hope that the people I care about and care about me will be safe! I also hope that in the end, justice can defeat evil, and the Western Chu Dynasty will be a clear river! ”

Turning her head and seeing the sincerity in the woman's eyes, Bei Mingchen's heart suddenly moved, it turned out that she was also a righteous person, but she was narrow-minded.

"Yes, definitely!" As if he blurted out, a hint of firmness flashed in Bei Mingchen's eyes.

After these days of getting along, He Muwan felt that the man did not seem to be a traitorous minister as rumored, and the awe-inspiring look in his eyes just now made her further determine what she was thinking.

Although Bei Mingyan is gentle, he is not a faint monarch who does not distinguish between right and wrong, even if he loves Bei Mingchen, his younger brother, it is impossible to let him do anything wrong and cause chaos to the dynasty.

Judging from his relationship with Bei Mingyan, He Muwan felt that Bei Mingyan was not a weak person in his bones.

On the surface, he has repeatedly retreated to Bei Yingchen without a bottom line, perhaps it is for outsiders to see, these two brothers may be conspiring with something.
