Chapter 198 Tanabata Fighting Lanterns (Part [-])
On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, Qixi Festival, girls go through needles and gossip to pay homage to Seventh Sister.

Wen Yan was invited by Gu Chenxi, and together with Gu Xiyun, the three sisters went to participate in a Qixi Festival competition.

This competition is about the speed of threading the needle and the number of threads threaded.

Without a lamp in front of them, all the girls have to use the moonlight of the Milky Way to engage in a needle-and-thread competition.

This competition was held by the royal family, and the rewards were very generous. There were many girls who hadn't left the court, including those ladies who usually didn't leave the house and didn't leave the house.

Wei Shiyu and several concubines from the Wen family also came to this begging meeting.

Gu Xiangsi and Xiling Yan also brought their children to join in the fun. There was also a lantern festival on the night of the Qixi Festival, but this lantern festival was gathered at the Qiqiao Festival, commonly known as fighting lanterns.

When the top three girls from Qiqiaohui come out, the lights around here will be lit up, like thousands of pearls gathered into a human galaxy.

Gu Xiangsi and the others joined in the fun just above the upper floor, so that after a while the lights below are all lit, they can see the beautiful Milky Way on earth.

"The No. 770 lamplighter five years ago was very powerful. He flew over the eaves and walls, stepped on the snow without a trace, and was as light as a swallow... In short, he lit [-] lamps on this street within three quarters of an hour. Among all the lamplighters, The one you ordered the most!" Li Haoyue still remembered the Qiqiao meeting last year, which was really the most grand event ever.

Because that year, there was a mysterious person who spent a lot of money to light [-] lamps for a woman. In addition, the royal family held this meeting. The city of Zealand has become a real galaxy on earth.

"Lighting more than 45 lamps in 700 minutes, didn't this person die from exhaustion?" Gu Xiangsi was eating cantaloupe, wondering if this person was still alive at the end?
"He's not exhausted! He's alive and well, and he even got a pair of phoenix-winged swords! It's said that those pair of swords are the treasures of the imperial palace, and the people who made them have been dead for 300 years." Li Haoyue only listened to him. Passed Luanfeng wing-to-wing sword, but did not have the fate to see it, anyway, it is quite precious.

Gu Xiangsi is eating melons, but hehe, these people are very powerful, they are full, and they participate in an exhausting lighting contest just for a pair of broken swords?

"Do you want to know who it is who lights nine thousand lamps for a woman?" Xiling Yan hugged her from behind, and gently smiled in her ear.

"Daddy, I want to know!" Baozhu ran over, hugged one of her daddy's legs, raised her head and blinked her big curious eyes, and asked, shaking and shaking, "Daddy, why are you lighting the lamp for nine thousand instead of ten?" What about Qianzhan?"

"There is no ten thousand, only ten thousand." The elder brother Xiling Lord is also working hard, always correcting his sister's mistakes.

Baozhu turned her head to look at her brother, frowned and asked puzzledly, "Then why is it nine thousand, not ten thousand?"

"It is said in "Lao Tzu": 'The sky is long and the earth is long. The reason why the sky and the earth can last forever is that they can live forever because they do not live on their own." Qin Sancai, a nerd, came out with such a great truth as soon as he stood up. It's strange to understand.

Mr. Xiling explained to his sister: "Lighting nine thousand lamps means forever. This is a man expressing his love to a woman, which means he wants to be with her for a long time, eh! That is to say, we will never be separated for a lifetime."

He didn't dare to say anything about the afterlife, life after life, or life after life, otherwise my sister would grab the question again and ask the bottom of the casserole.

"Oh, I see, that uncle wants to find an aunt, and then... like parents, together forever?" Baozhu got the answer, she let go of her father's leg, turned around and ran away I went to play with Qin Sancai.

Lord Xiling listened carefully, his sister asked cousin Sancai to light [-] lamps for him in the future, cousin Sancai was crying and laughing and had to know how to refuse.

Let alone ten thousand lamps, as long as he can earn enough money for her one thousand lamps in the future, it will be good.

The first round of competition below is over, and more than [-] girls won the first place.

The second round was pretty good, that is, walking under the moon to pay homage to Seventh Sister.

It is said that in this level, the more light and ethereal a woman walks, the more she can win.

"Jinniang actually passed the first test, amazing!" Li Haoyue only saw that Wen Yan won, while Gu Chenxi and Gu Xiyun probably lost.

Gu Xiangsi was eating melon seeds again, and she saw Ye Wuyue foolishly shaking a light stick below to cheer Wen Yan on, poof!He worked so hard to get two glow sticks out of fluorite, just to make him stand out from the crowd?
"I feel more and more that Ah Yue is stupid." Li Haoyue almost lost her eyesight, you said you are a high-cold genius doctor, it's fine to come to support your own girl, what's the matter with shaking two fluorite sticks?

Gu Yubo seldom came to see beautiful women, but he was always attracted by Ye Wuyue's fluorite stick. Finally, he couldn't take it anymore, squeezed over, stood beside Ye Wuyue, bowed his hands and said to him: "Brother-in-law, you are my own brother-in-law. Please put away your two fluorite sticks, please? I’m not in the mood to watch you shaking so much... I’m so pretty.”

"The beauties you see are actually pink skulls, this is called hue." Ye Wuyue continued to shake his light stick, ignored his pleading, and instead told him a scary truth.

"Brother, it's a big night, can you stop saying such scary things?" Gu Yubai rubbed his skin with goosebumps, and then he looked at the graceful beauty in the stands, who was light and graceful worshiping Seventh Sister under the moon, why did he feel like a Is everyone going to become a bone spirit?
When Wen Yan and the seven girls on the same stage paid respects to the seventh sister, she saw Ye Wuyue smiling encouragingly at her from the audience. I feel beautiful.

"The girl's sweet and shy smile is really the most beautiful in the world." Gu Zhuo was dragged by a few of them to watch the Qiqiao meeting tonight. He originally wanted to come out to relax, but he didn't expect to see such a beautiful scenery.

Gu Yuyan turned to look at his cousin, very worried!

Gu Yusheng also turned his head to look at his cousin who was admiring Wen Yan. Could it be that...Brother Zhuo has taken a fancy to Wen Yan, right?
This is not allowed!Ye Wuyue is a ruthless person, if you provoke him, you will definitely die badly.

Dare to compete with him for a woman, just look at Li Haoyue's fate after being poisoned, it will make people afraid to death.

Seeing the two brothers looking at him so strangely, Gu Zhuo was a little dazed, what's wrong?His face is dirty?Something fell on your head?Or is there something wrong with his clothes tonight?

Gu Yuyan really couldn't bear Gu Zhuo to risk his life, so she pulled him, approached him and whispered, "Brother Zhuo, Ayue and Jinniang are a couple."

"Huh? Master Ye and Jinniang...they are a couple?" Gu Zhuo really didn't realize that they are a couple?

"Yes, Ah Yue and Jin Niang, they...are in love with each other." Gu Yuyan nodded vigorously, hoping that Gu Zhuo could rein in the precipice and turn his back on the shore.

There are still plenty of good girls in the imperial capital, Brother Zhuo, don't be too attached to the hibiscus flowers in other people's pots!

"Oh, that's how it is! They are quite a match." Gu Zhuo looked at Ye Wuyue's back shaking the fluorite stick in his hand, and then at Wen Yan who was smiling lightly on the stage. They really are a good couple. look out.

Gu Yuyan turned her head and exchanged glances with Gu Yusheng, why did it feel like they were worrying for nothing?Brother Zhuo seems to be just...just admiring Wen Yan?
Gu Yubo and Ye Wuyue stood together, he looked at the stage, he was no longer disturbed by his fluorite stick.

Gu Xiangsi watched the lights on the stage light up one by one, she knew that this was the highlight of the show.

"Sister Xiangsi, look, this year's lamplighters seem to be very good!" Li Haoyue pointed to the men in black outside, and always felt that the figure of one of them looked familiar.

Gu Xiangsi saw many men in black lighting the lamps, one of them was the fastest, with light and elegant steps, and his toes were touching the hemp rope hanging from the lanterns, as if a dragonfly was touching water, as light as a flying ink butterfly.

"It's a woman with good body skills and lightness skills." Xiling Yan seldom praised people's martial arts, but this petite and slender woman's lightness skills are really wonderful.

"It seems... It's Die Wu Fei Hua from Heartless Palace, light as a dream." Teng Jiao has recovered his original face, and he has been staying in King Zhen's mansion these days to teach Xiling Lord swordsmanship.

"Palace of Unrequited Love? Where is it?" Gu Xiangsi used to watch TV dramas before, and had heard of Yihua Palace. This Palace of Unrequited Love is a place where people can cut off their love.

"There are orphan girls in the Heartless Palace. They can't be emotional, because they practice a kind of exercise. Once they are emotional, they will go crazy. At least, their martial arts will be useless, and at worst... they will become insane and become crazy." Teng Jiao He had been in the arena for many years, and he had only heard about the Unfeeling Palace, so he didn't know where the Unfeeling Palace was.

Because the Unfeeling Palace disappeared from the rivers and lakes 20 years ago, and their people never walked on the rivers and lakes again.

As for why the entire Unfeeling Palace suddenly disappeared in the rivers and lakes?There are too many legends, and it is difficult to tell the truth from the false.

"Eh? Is it really such a perverted place?" Gu Xiangsi was eating sweet-scented osmanthus cake again, anyway, she didn't stop talking tonight.

Starting from the sky above the Qiqiaohui, the whole street was lit up with colorful lights.

"The Milky Way on earth is really beautiful!" Qin Sancai lived in the countryside for a few years, and later only moved to the town. He also studied in the county after going to school.

Although he has come to Xilan City many times, this is the first time he has seen the human galaxy in Xilan City.

"The lantern fighting is not necessarily on the Qixi Festival. I remember that the lantern fighting was held on the Lantern Festival five years ago. It snowed a little that night, and the plum blossoms all over the city were in full bloom. Some people said they saw it on the tower. A woman in red was dancing, and she heard the sound of flutes, and then...the lights that night were all extinguished after the snow fell more and more." Li Haoyue looked at the sea of ​​lights on the street below, recalling the scene five years ago. During the Lantern Festival, his brows were further frowned and he said: "I remember that the plum blossoms were very fragrant that night, and the fragrance was a little weird. I grew up so big, even if I sniffed the most fragrant plum blossoms, I never smelled that kind of fragrance... Very strong plum fragrance."

"That's not the fragrance from plum blossoms, but a kind of fragrance made from plum blossoms, called "Plum Blossom Yin." Xiling Yan looked at the sea of ​​lights outside, recalling the snow of that year, the fragrance of plum blossoms that year. In that year, more than ten thousand lanterns converged into the human galaxy, and he remembered that tragic and sad scene of bloody past.

On the white snow, there is the woman in the red dress like fire, with little red plums sprinkled with blood.

And that person... He was completely crazy that night, right?
To this day, he still doesn't understand why Sister Liuqing treats Dongfang Ao like this?Such cruelty made Dongfang Ao live in pain all his life.

"Plum Blossoms?" Teng Jiao looked at Xiling Yan, but finally hesitated to speak. This matter seems to be a taboo of the Xiling royal family. The traces of the year were wiped clean by the Xiling royal family. Qing died on that Lantern Festival night when the snow was drifting and the fragrance of plum blossoms was falling, and on a snowy night when a man cried like a heart-piercing lung, silently, but so poignantly beautiful.

Back then, in order to cover up the cause of Xiling Liuqing's death, the Xiling royal family made up a big lie, saying that Xiling Liuqing had attained enlightenment and became an immortal, and was taken away by the Empress Jiutianxuan.

Therefore, in the snow that night, the plum blossoms bloomed so proudly and fragrantly.

Everyone also believed it. For this reason, the Xiling royal family built a Moon God Palace at the highest point in the east of Xilan City. The statue enshrined in it was the white jade statue of Xiling Liuqing.

And he happened to see Xiling Liuqing dancing on the city tower that night, and Dongfang Ao who had come to Xihe country to participate in the four-nation gathering that year.

He, a cold-blooded killer, was attracted to stop and admire when he saw such a scene. It can be seen that Dongfang Ao and Xiling Liuqing were an envious couple at that time.

"Little Jiaojiao, what are you thinking? You're so preoccupied, let my sister listen to you!" Gu Xiangsi gnawed an apple with her arms folded, and walked around Tengjiao.

Ever since Teng Jiao recognized Gu Xiangsi as his sister, he never lied to her again, nor did he hide anything from her.So when she asked like this, he wanted to say it, but Xilingyan... In the end, he just blushed and said: "Sister, go to the Moon God Palace and see."

"Moon God Palace? Is it the very incense-filled Moon God Palace in Dongcheng?" Gu Xiangsi had heard of this Moon God Palace before, and it enshrined a princess of the Xiling royal family. Take it to heaven.

Because she was born beautiful, many young girls would go to the Moon God Palace to offer incense, hoping that they would be able to transform into a female, and that they would be as beautiful as a flower and marry a good husband in the future.

Some men also went there, and some prayed to the moon god, hoping to marry a gentle and beautiful wife in the future.

Some went to see the Moon God. The statue of the Moon God Palace was carved out of pure white jade. The facial features of the characters were exquisite and lifelike. They were as beautiful as Princess Liuqing herself. Do not open your eyes.

She has always been curious, how beautiful is this Princess Liuqing from the Moon God Palace? Can she be more beautiful than Xiling Yan?
With Xilingyan staring at him for a moment, he knew what was going on in her mind.

"Wow! It's so beautiful! There's a dragon soaring into the sky!" Li Haoyue excitedly pointed at the night sky, where a large sky lantern slowly rose into the night sky, and a green dragon soared above the blue sky and white clouds. It is Li Chunhe's handwriting.

Li Chunhe's painting style is very unique, that is, the contrast of colors, light colors and thick colors, forming a very sharp contrast, making the whole picture clear and bright, and making the viewer feel refreshed.

Just like the names of their two brothers - Chun and Mingjing.

"This year's lantern fight, the Li family actually participated?" Xilingyan also recognized that this praying sky lantern was made by Li Chunhe. The picture of flying dragons in the sky painted on it refers to their totem of Xihe Kingdom— — Qinglong.

Gu Xiangsi also ran to see this beautiful Milky Way on earth, it is so beautiful, but her location is still not high enough, it would be nice if she stood on the roof of Baiweiju.

Seeing her dissatisfied frowning, Xi Lingyan reached out to wrap her arms around her slender waist, and flew out of the corridor railing, stepping on colorful lights, and flew towards the moonlit starry sky.

"Wow! It's so beautiful!" Gu Xiangsi never dared to think that one day, she would be able to fly across the Milky Way, and there would be a beauty by her side to share her romance with.

"Daddy, Baozhu wants to fly too!" Baozhu, a small electric light, always shone brightly when her parents loved each other.

Lord Xiling looked back at Qin Sancai, Baozhu couldn't call back to his father, and now it was Sancai's cousin's turn to suffer.

When Baozhu turned around and was about to pounce on Qin Sancai again, Teng Jiao strode over, picked up the little treasure Baozhu in one hand, carried her and flew out, flying around on the roofs around, coaxing her to play.

Qin Sancai was indeed secretly relieved, and he also practiced some boxing and kicking kung fu to strengthen his body. He doesn't know this kind of light kung fu that can fly into the sky.

When Li Haoyue saw them, they were in pairs in heaven and earth, and he was the only one alone.

well!Life!How could it be so miserable?

"It seems that the stars are not from last night, little boss...who are you standing up for?" Lin Xiaozi's upside-down golden hook suddenly dropped down, and a beautiful smiling face was facing Li Haoyue, very close at hand.

"Ah—a ghost!" Li Haoyue fell back in fright, but fortunately, Lin Xiaozi was quick enough to grab his collar and drag him back.

But it's so hard to die, the posture of them facing each other is too wonderful, four lips meet, Li Haoyue's big eyes almost popped out, Lin Xiaozi's eyes also widened, turned over neatly and landed, turned around and raised his hand to give it away. Li Haoyue slapped her face, gritted her teeth and glared at him, blushing and cursed: "Dirty!"

Li Haoyue clutched her left cheek which was in pain from the beating, tears were streaming down her cheeks, and she would cry as usual whenever she was wronged.

Wow!Don't bring such a bully, it was Lin Xiaozi who frightened him, but he didn't let him fall, and even pulled him back to kiss him forcefully, and even beat him and scolded him after the kiss, who the hell is shameless?

"Starlight black clothes?" Lord Xiling narrowed his eyes after Lin Xiaozi stretched out his hand and flew away beautifully, and recognized who Lin Xiaozi was.

What is the purpose of a woman disguised as a man, a person from the Heartless Palace, sneaking into Baiweiju?
Qin Sancai ran to comfort Li Haoyue who was crying loudly. He also felt that Li Haoyue was very unlucky. He was kissed by a man for no reason, and was beaten and scolded indecently. Anyone should feel wronged?

Lord Xiling's ruddy mouth evoked a weird smile that didn't match his age.Uncle Li is just stupid. He doesn't know whether the people around him are men or women.
