Zhongyuan Festival, the time of the year when the yin qi is at its peak, so a hundred ghosts come out and run rampant in the world, it is because this day can allow these lonely souls and wild ghosts to absorb the qi of heaven and earth to yin.

And think about it carefully, Mu Xi is also a wisp of remnant soul absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, and these ghosts are also in the same vein, the difference is that Mu Xi absorbs not the qi of the yin, but the qi of the yin and yang of heaven and earth, so after turning into a human, the yin and yang are harmonized, no different from other immortals, but if you only absorb the yin qi to cultivate, even if you cultivate the human body, you will only be able to hide under the sun forever because it is the body of the yin, otherwise it is rare to live forever.

But as long as you can get eternal life, even people can't refuse, let alone the souls of human monsters and ghosts who have lost their lives.

Therefore, on this day, the palace has always held ghost exorcism ceremonies, often all night long, until the sun rises on the second day, and the yin qi disperses the yang qi, which is regarded as the dissolution of the ghostly energy.

Therefore, in the city of Pingdu, every household hangs lanterns high, the lanterns are colorful, everyone wears a ghost exorcism mask, wears a peace charm around the neck, and carries paper money, incense and candles to worship the ancestors.

Mu Xi couldn't look down on the bustle of this street market, she was only worried about how to pull this red thread for the prince and Tong Ling, if only she could borrow a red thread from that old woman, but this old red line is only useful to mortals, and it is useless to borrow it.

Fortunately, Mu Xi knew that this Tongling was invited into the palace and went to the queen, the queen's palace was not far from here, she only needed to disguise herself as a woman and pretend to be a palace maid to cast a spell to go over to find this Tongling, and no one would see through her identity, so she let Luo Yan guard the door after she made up her mind, in case the guards or internal officials came to disturb her, and she put on the lotus pink skirt that the prince threw at her last time, and flew into the queen's Cihua Palace.

After the queen ordered Shangguan to dress up for Tong Ling, she went to the Temple of Heaven with the honor guard with the emperor's princes, princesses and royal relatives to worship her ancestors, because Tong Ling was not a royal person, so the queen did not let her go, but only told Shang Gong Haosheng to take care of Tong Ling, and then invite Tong Ling to have a banquet with him at the dinner.

Tongling grew up in the border pass, and danced with the generals to play with knives and sticks, and she was already accustomed to a free life, and she couldn't stand the constraints in this palace, so she took advantage of the blink of an eye in the Shang Palace, she used light skills to avoid the surveillance of the Shang Palace, and came to the back garden by herself, and saw that there was no one left and right, so she picked up a wooden stick scattered on the ground and practiced.

When Mu Xi Shi Xianshu came to the back garden of Cihua Palace, he happened to see Tong Ling wearing a purple collared skirt, only to see her combing phoenix bun, a reddish-purple phoenix peony wrapped around the hairpin, golden tassels swaying down, jingling bells step by step, a phoenix flower branch tied around her waist, stepping on Yunbu shoes, dressed in both noble and dignified, plus she still has a bit of heroism, Yan Ruochaohua, so it seems that she is indeed different from other women.

Tongling originally looked at the back garden and no one hid here, but suddenly saw Mu Xi appear in front of her, she was both shocked and annoyed, thinking that it was not easy to get rid of these harem women, how could one appear out of thin air?

"Which palace maid are you? The county lord doesn't want to be followed, if you dare to follow the county lord again, be careful that the stick in my hand will not spare people! ”

Because the emperor thanked General Lu for his meritorious service in protecting the country and getting a son when he was old, he specially named Tongling as the county lord as an honorary reward for General Lu.

"I'm not a palace maid, but I saw the county lord practicing martial arts here, and I came over to see if the county lord seemed to have something on my mind, so I might as well listen to it, maybe I can help the county lord?" Mu Xi thought that if she pretended to be a palace maid in front of her, how could she succeed if she was submissive, so she simply denied her identity so that the other party would not despise her.

"Not a palace maid? So who are you? Tongling looked at Mu Xi carefully, and saw that she was born with elegant eyebrows, crystal like snow, very delicate, this kind of appearance must not be a palace maid, and she reacted after thinking about it, "I heard that the queen has a princess called Zhaohua, sixteen or seventeen years old, could it be that you are Princess Zhaohua?" ”

Mu Xi didn't admit or deny it, but just 'shh

"It seems that the princess, like me, ran away secretly, in that case, I won't disturb the princess to play here, and I will leave!" Tongling didn't want to play with a princess who looked delicate, and she didn't look down on these princesses who grew up in the palace like greenhouse flowers.

"Could it be that my sister is thinking that she is about to marry the prince's brother, and she is shy?" Mu Xi provoked the other party, wanting to set up this Tongling's tone first, and see what kind of thoughts she had about this prince.

However, Tong Ling immediately looked disdainful and annoyed, "Who said I was going to marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" How could the lord of this county care about the position of the crown princess? ”

"Since you don't want to marry him, why are you dressed so beautifully today, let me tell you, although my prince brother is extremely picky, but like you, even if I see it, I like it, let alone my brother? Therefore, you, the crown princess, must have made up your mind. Mu Xi continued to provoke the other party.

"Who would take a fancy to a sick prince who can't speak, and can't carry his hands on his shoulders?" Tong Ling said these words in a fit of anger, and only after saying it did she feel that she had lost her words, if the 'Princess Zhaohua' in front of her ran to sue her father and queen mother, then she would be punished for a small matter, and her parents would be greatly affected, so she was busy and said: "I mean that the prince is noble, I am just a rough woman who grew up in the border pass, and I am not worthy of the princess's prince brother!" ”

Mu Xi waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay, don't worry, I won't sue!" Mu Xi was smiling on his face, but he was bitter in his heart, thinking that it seemed that this county lord really disliked the prince for being both a dumb and a weak man, how could this be good?

Seeing that Tongling was leaving, Mu Xi hurriedly caught up, "If the county lord really doesn't want to marry the prince, I have a way!" ”

Sure enough, as soon as Tong Ling heard this, she immediately stopped, and looked back at Mu Xi with some hesitation, "What can the princess do?" ”

Mu Xi smiled maliciously, "My prince brother likes beautiful women the most, especially women with soft waists and slender bodies, and charming appearances, who can't take their eyes off!" ”

Tong Ling's face immediately showed disdain, and she scolded the womanizer fiercely in her heart, and her impression of this prince was even worse.

"So at the dinner party, as long as the county lord of Tongling appears in men's clothes and takes the initiative to provoke the prince's brother, my prince's brother will not like such a rough and arrogant woman, won't the county lord have to marry the prince?" Mu Xi thought to himself that since you don't like the prince, then let the prince like you, and then love you but can't do it, won't you also go through the same calamity?

Love robbery, love robbery? No matter what, it's a catastrophe!
