The Dragon Boat Festival is in the middle of summer on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the weather is hot and humid, poisonous insects are attacked, and the plague miasma begins, and the court and the people attach great importance to this solar term.

Mama Li held a large square plate, with sachets and five-color silk on it, Shang Mingyang couldn't cry or laugh, Mama Li still treated her as a child, but she did not refuse Mama Li's kindness, hanging sachets on the body is a must-do thing in the Dragon Boat Festival, the sachet contains wormwood, calamus and other herbs, as well as cinnabar, realgar and other things, and then wrapped with silk cloth, with silk thread and made. In addition to the sachets, they also tie five-colored silk fabrics or silk threads on their arms and ankles, which are called "soldiers" or "acacia cords", which means praying for wars and plagues not to occur. At the beginning of the previous dynasty, there were all kinds of "Hehuan Suo", which meant "dispeling troops and hating ghosts".

In addition, the Dragon Boat Festival also has the custom of drinking realgar wine. Although the ancients knew that realgar was poisonous, they thought that drinking realgar wine could drive away demons and ward off evil, which was "fighting poison with poison". In the opera "The Legend of the White Snake", Bai Suzhen drank realgar wine and showed her original form, which scared Xu Xian to death.

After Shang Mingyang finished washing and tidying up, he went to the main courtyard of the East Courtyard to say goodbye to his parents, the second sister and the third sister had already arrived, and at this time they were chatting with Wei's family, Shang Boxue sat aside with the scroll and read quietly and ignored the gossip of the women and children, and when he saw his only sister-in-law coming, he put down the scroll in his hand, and chatted with him about the country's Anbang, environment and geography and other miscellaneous anecdotes, and was pleased that his eldest son was more mature and stable the more he loved

Suddenly it started to rain outside, and it poured down the eaves, and the rain flowed down the eaves.

"It's raining" Shang Boxue looked at the heavy rain outside the house, since August last year, Fan Yang has rained the number of times he can count with one pair of hands

Wei followed her husband's gaze and looked at the heavy rain and sighed for a while: "How long has it been since it rained so heavily in Fanyang?"

There was a person in a hurry on the corridor, he didn't even hold an umbrella, and his clothes were all soaked, saying that he wanted to see the eldest lord, and after Shang Boxue signaled the porter to let people in, the man hurriedly whispered: "Lord, there is a distinguished guest visiting"

Shang Boxue was a little surprised, this person was the person in front of Old Lady Shang, and he was so flustered: "What distinguished guest?" ”

"The villain saw that the outside of the house was full of strange guards, standing straight in the rain, well-trained, the old lady wore an official uniform to greet him, and the accompanying person said that he was here to thoroughly investigate Fan Yang's Lord Qincha"

Shang Boxue's heart tightened and instructed Wei Shi: "You will send a few children back in a while, and then go to your mother's place to take care of them, and I will go to the front hall first."

Wei's face also became solemn, nodded solemnly, and hurriedly ordered the grandmothers around him to leave with their children, and by the way, inform the sisters who had not yet come to ask for peace that they would be exempted today

The rain thundered, and Shang Mingyang and his two sisters were also worried and walking side by side

Shang Ruodai looked at the cloudy sky and couldn't help but worry: "It's still raining heavily, why did Lord Qincha suddenly visit?" ”

"Second sister, Lord Qincha won't be here to investigate our family, right? Will there be something going on in our family? Shang Ruoyue remembered that when she was a child, she went to play at Mrs. Sun's house, and it was also a sudden visit from the imperial court, and in the afternoon, Sun's family was beheaded for corruption...

Shang Ruodai's face turned pale, and she quickly regained her previous composure: "What nonsense, Lord Qin sent to Fan Yang to naturally discuss important matters with his grandfather!" ”

Shang Mingyang saw that the two of them didn't look very good, so he opened his mouth to reassure: "Third sister don't worry, grandfather is the most fair official, I just want to discuss what is serious."

Shang Ruoyue saw that her sister and brother were saying this, nodded and silently pressed the uneasiness in her heart

As soon as Shang Mingyang arrived in the room, Old Man Shang sent someone over and asked her to go to the front hall, feeling a little surprised, but still repaired it

To go to the front hall, you have to pass by the main courtyard, and then pass through the lotus garden to arrive, the rain on the road is still dripping, Erxi walked behind her and held an umbrella for her, and the two walked unhurriedly...

Before she crossed the threshold of the courtyard in the front hall, she saw the man sitting in the main seat of the hall, he was wearing a black robe, sitting upright, with deep facial features, and the silence between his eyebrows was like an abyss, he was motionless, his expression was cold and indifferent, not sad or happy...

As if he had been thrown into the glacier and snow, Shang Mingyang was stunned in vain, his hands and feet were cold, and the chill was to his bones.

The thunder rang out, and lightning flashed in the sky, as if to split the sky...

The wind was blowing, and the courtyard was gloomy and cold.

She suddenly stood still and didn't leave, and Erxi, who followed her, almost bumped into her

Grandfather's voice came from ahead

Shang Mingyang's heart was beating suddenly, he lowered his eyes, his eyelashes were staggered, and he covered the horror in his eyes...

She walked on, blankly.

I haven't seen him for a few years, and he has changed a lot.

Her husband in her previous life, and now His Royal Highness the Prince!

At that time, she looked at him with love in her eyes, full of numbness, she only felt that this person's eyebrows and eyes were so good-looking, and she was so good to her, when she laughed, she was like a bright moonlight, so seductive, and when she was with him, it was the happiest time in the first half of her life, although he was not as diligent and virtuous as the prince, and not as skilled as King Xiang's martial arts, nor as smart as other princes to please the saint, but he used to be so good to her, he was really gentle, and never scolded loudly...

In fact, every late at night, she often wondered why the person she loved most and trusted the most, her father and her husband, would discuss how to kill her in the middle of the night and then blame the former crown prince, she didn't understand what it would be like to blame the crown prince for her death. How could the emperor believe that the virtuous prince would frame his brother and daughter-in-law for no reason, and she didn't understand why he and his father were so ruthless, but she heard it with her own ears, she gambled with her life and personally ate the pastries he sent... She didn't believe it until she took her last breath.

Later, when she was resurrected, it had been two years, and he had transformed from an unknown Shouwang to a prince above 10,000 people under one person.

She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, there was no trace of a wave in them

The porter led her into the antechamber, while Erxi was left outside

Grandfather spoke respectfully in front of Zhao Heng, saw her coming, and introduced to Zhao Heng: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this is the eldest grandson of Xiaguan, named Mingyang, who is also studying in Yunqi Academy, and there is no word for the time being."

Shang Mingyang slowly knelt down on his knees, and asked for peace with a respectful expression: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a thousand years old", Zhao Heng nodded slightly, "Get up" and looked at it, it was a boy and a girl, most of the students in the south had been in fashion recently, and Zhao Yi did not pay much attention to it

Shang Mingyang stepped aside and stood with his younger brothers

The servant brought up a plate of longan, which is one of the main species planted in Fanyang, and it is particularly sweet and delicious

The third uncle immediately smiled slightly flatteringly: "Your Highness, you can taste it, this longan is grown by our family, and it is fresh and delicious."

Zhao Heng doesn't like to eat sweets, she suddenly remembered that he had never been taboo when he lived in the palace in the past, since he was canonized as King Shou and moved to the palace, he never ate sweets again, and before she died, it was because she ate the pastries he sent, he knew that she loved sweets.
