Chapter Ninety-Four: The Flower Festival

Rather and three years. Tianfeng Guoning and the fourth husband of Huangna, stayed in Yonghua Palace, and were named Jun Guifu. Since then, Emperor Ninghe has had an imperial husband Ethan, and three Pingfu Baili Qianao, Miao Ren, and Xiao Jun.

As the end of the year approaches, there should be a lot of depression compared to normal days, and most vendors will choose to go home to prepare for the festival, and there will be fewer pedestrians on the streets by this time. Just because Ning and Huang Nafu granted amnesty to the world, the people were happy and did not forget to celebrate this historic moment, and they rushed to the streets to tell each other, and rumors flew all over the place like wings.

After the tea and dinner, people talked about the news announced by Ning and Huang Nafu that day, saying that there was still a husband who had been living among the people for a long time, and if he was found, he would stay in the Yongxin Palace. I don't know if it's an eternal knot and one heart, but who will become the fifth husband, this is what the people are most interested in, and for a while, they speculated, and in the end, they began to expect that they were the fifth husband. Many men who have not left the cabinet often appear on the street with veils on their faces, looking forward to meeting Emperor Ning He.

When the spring flowers bloom, the lead Huashan on the outskirts of the capital is full of peach blossoms, and at this time, the unmarried men have rushed to the capital from various cities, all want to meet the Ning He Emperor who went out to enjoy the flowers in these days.

I don't know who said that April 18 is the flower festival in Beijing, all unmarried men can go to the street to hold a peach blossom, if you meet a favorite woman, you can give the peach blossom to someone, if the other party accepts, you can promote a marriage. This news flew all over the streets and alleys of Tianfeng Kingdom with wings, and they all acquiesced in the existence of the Flower Festival and prepared for it.

When Emperor Ning He was still the prince, he was quite loved by unmarried men, and her reputation for loving her husband and favorite husband was far and wide, and she was an unmarried man who wanted to marry her as a husband. Now, Emperor Ning He claims to have a husband among the people. The men in the boudoir were excited. happened to meet the flower festival, and went to the capital alone regardless of their own safety.

No matter how good the security of Tianfeng Country is, it can't resist such a temptation, and there are "flower thieves", "robbing teams", "forced marriage", etc., and finally the robbers began to run rampant, and the situation became more and more serious. The cult organization has reappeared, and it has been rumored that Emperor Ning He is an ominous emperor, bringing only disaster to the people. Since her accession to the throne. Not only is it not prosperous enough, but there are also frequent internal troubles.

Eventually, two groups of people began to rise up. Those who support Emperor Ning He and those who oppose Emperor Ning He.

Prime Minister Wu Cheng knew that the situation was serious, so he reported the matter to Xi Ning. When Xi Ning heard that this matter was caused by himself, he couldn't help but feel helpless, even in ancient times. The power of this public opinion is still so great.

"Order, if anyone dares to talk about Feng Yan again. Lawfully kill on sight! ”

In the spring of the fourth year of Ninghe, the flower festival was held as scheduled. After strengthening law and order in various places, the robbers were almost eliminated. On the day of the Flower Festival, cities around the country strengthened guards to maintain law and order. It was also the first time that there was a "security team". It was ordered by Emperor Ning He to be formed, stationed in various cities of all sizes to maintain law and order, and to arrest some lawbreakers and send them to the Yamen. He and the yamen belong to the same system. But they don't interfere with each other, and they govern the city as one. One to maintain law and order.

Xi Ning disguised himself and left the palace quietly with the shadow, and this disappearance was a few months. Xiaojun still handles the government for Xi Ning, although he will also go to the court, but he also listens to the government. With Xiaojun here, Xi Ning is becoming more and more relieved, and he will leave as soon as he says, and Ethan is also there this time.

There is a small town in the southern corner, simple small tiled houses, each built on the street, detached, each house has two or three tall ginkgo trees sticking out of the wall, under the shade of these trees are neatly arranged small vendors, all kinds of small objects with various decorations, although there are no formal shops, but they are all right. The pedestrians on the street, the women are dark-skinned and short-stated, the men are all coarse linen clothes, and the silk scarves on their faces are the only ornaments of the same good texture.

The people here are simple and simple, greet each other warmly, say a few words to themselves, and go separately to collect rare good things, it is strange that some people exchange dried fish, rice, animal furs and other things for some cloth and jewelry, this form of barter shopping is really rare.

People spend the flower festival in the form of a market.

A figure in the crowd was particularly eye-catching, the red cloth on his body was the most conspicuous, as soon as he appeared, passers-by stopped to look at him and watched him go away. At this flower festival, no woman came forward to talk to him, and his lonely back gradually faded away.

As dusk approached, the man's shadow pulled a long shadow on the country road, and walked towards the thatched hut in the field with heavy steps.

It's been three days, and the town's bazaar is the last day, and he still hasn't waited for the woman he wants to see.

"Ning Ning, do you remember me? Are the people living in exile talking about me? ”

When he pushed the door into the hut and sat on the edge of the only bed where he could sit and took off the veil, it was Dongfang Yue, the man who fell off the cliff and disappeared, his resolute face was deeply sad and lost. He took off his red clothes, folded them neatly, changed into a linen robe full of patches, and went out with a woodcutter on his shoulder.

Falling off a cliff that day, it was his mother who rescued him and fled overnight to this place. His mother used an ancestral artifact to save his life, which also damaged his mother's body, and he died not long after he recovered. These days, he spends his days alone, doing some hunting in the mountains in his spare time, doing some farm work when he is busy, and he can make ends meet. There were also some people in the village who beat him up for his idea, but they were all scared away by his violence, and for a long time, the villagers also had a wait-and-see attitude towards him, to see who would live enough to marry such a yaksha.

He headed straight for the back mountain. The mountains are not high, the forests are very deep, the hares and wild boars on the mountains are the most, jackals, tigers and leopards occasionally appear, there are still some reptiles such as snakes and insects but they are not very dangerous, and the hunters in the village have some ways to avoid the danger. Halfway up the mountain, there was a thatched hut for the hunters to rest, which was as simple as the thatched hut at the bottom of his mountain.

Dongfang Yue will stay on the mountain for several days when he is in a bad mood, and will not go down until he is in a better mood. Today, too, three hares were caught on the way up the mountain, roasted outside the hut and eaten slowly. The wounds in my heart are all in my eyes, and I can't help but ask myself: What face to use to see Xi Ning, my mother sought power and seized the throne and almost hurt her life, what else can I expect? After all, it is not his own, I knew that it was better to die on the battlefield, and I would not end up here, and I would be lonely for a lifetime, looking at the woman who would never be able to meet.

"It's not my own! How can you remember me if you're Nav again? ”

The rabbit meat was left untouched, and the bonfire gradually went out. In the silence of the woods sat the loneliness of a man. (To be continued)
