good wife

Chapter 559
Yuan Xi supported his forehead with his hands, and said with a headache, "If she is so easy to persuade, I don't have to worry about it here."

The corner of Wushang's mouth twitched, and Wang Hao's temper was also too stubborn.But he didn't dare to say this directly!He is not stupid, he knows that the prince loves her.

"My lord, why don't you let Si Hua and Haitang persuade me?" Si Mo asked unwillingly.

"Forget it, her temperament. It's like when Li An was taken captive last time, she knew she was in danger, but she was willing to take the risk? Forget it, you just need to protect her in secret. Don't let some people with ulterior motives People take advantage of loopholes.”

"Master, it's getting late. You should rest earlier."

Yuan Xi frowned, and sighed: "In a few days, it will be the Shangsi Festival. At that time, there must be many high-ranking officials and ordinary people going to the waterside of the Yang River to offer sacrifices. This king and Princess, how can I be absent?"

"My lord, on March [-]rd, you and the concubine, as the masters of the city closure, will naturally attend. I heard that they will also preside over the ceremony of 'pulling the scorpion'!" Si Mo reminded.

Yuan Xi closed his eyes, "Wu Shang, on the day of the Shangsi Festival, all thirteen blood guards must be present and hide in the dark. Focus on the princess."

"Yes! The subordinates must arrange it properly."

The next day, Jingyi told Ellie about the situation of the Awa tribe.Ai Li and her party will leave the house immediately for Pingqiu County.Jingyi wrote another letter with her own handwriting, asking Ai Li to find a censor lord when she arrives in Pingqiu County.They sent them a guard team of more than ten people, and then let Ai Li leave the house with confidence.

After a few days in peace, it is the annual Shangji Festival!

Early in the morning, Jingyi began to dress.Looking at herself in the bronze mirror, Jingyi said helplessly: "Haitang, it's just to preside over a ceremony, why do you have to dress so grandly? And wear so many jewelry? It's too cumbersome and eye-catching, right? "

"Your Highness, you can't say that. You are now a noble princess! Besides, in the eyes of the common people, you are a living fairy, a fairy descending from the earth! You have to dress up no matter what!"

Liu Xing'er held the jewelry box in her hand, and Ren Haitang picked it up, "Your Highness, the common people value the Shangji Festival the most. You dress up well, which also shows that you care about this festival. The common people are naturally happy to see you of."

Jingyi nodded, "Liu Xing'er still has a point! The most important thing is to make the common people feel at ease."

After another cup of tea, Haitang said: "Okay, master. Let's go to the flower hall. The prince is still waiting for you to have breakfast together!"

Jingyi sighed, "If you hadn't insisted on dressing me up, I would have finished my breakfast by now."

Liu Xing'er chuckled, "Our princess is good at everything, but I don't like to dress up! This is not allowed. You are Princess Ping now, if you dress poorly, you will be laughed at by the ladies and ladies outside."

When Jingyi arrived at the flower hall, Yuan Xi was sitting at the table drinking tea. When she heard footsteps, she raised her head and was stunned!
I saw that Jingyi was wearing a set of jade-colored embroidered and folded branches and piles of flowers, which set off her whole body like a fairy who came down from the sky!Wearing golden silk inlaid with rubies and double Luan dotted with emerald jade on the head, and on the right side is a white jade inlaid with red coral beads and double-knotted Ruyi hairpin.A pair of red emerald drop bead earrings are worn on the ears.

Jingyi seldom dresses up so grandly on weekdays, even if she doesn't wear any accessories, it's already heart-pounding!What's more, after Haitang's elaborate grooming?It's simply stunning!
"Today, the king knows what it means to overwhelm a country and a city." Yuan Xi looked at Jing Yi in a daze and said.

Jingyi blushed, "You're talking nonsense!"

Yuan Xi smiled lightly and said, "Haitang, you should try to comb the princess's hair as little as possible in the future. How dare I take such a princess out? Don't you have to keep worrying about whether someone will snatch her away?"

The two chatted and laughed, and after a simple breakfast, they went to the front hall, waited for the servants to get ready, and then set off to the bank of the Yang River.

"Your Highness, isn't it just a festival? During the Spring Festival, I didn't see you caring so much?" Liu Xing'er was puzzled.

Jingyi smiled and said: "Liu Xing'er, you don't know the origin of the Shangsi Festival, that's why you say so. The Shangsi Festival can be postponed to commemorate Fuxi's family. Fuxi and his sister Nuwa made people out of earth and reproduced. Fuxi is honored as the "grandfather of human beings" in the area, and the ancient temple of Taihao Mausoleum was built in Huaiyang (the place where Fuxi established his capital). Gathered in the mausoleum area to worship the ancestors. The third day of the third month of the lunar calendar is also the day when the Queen Mother held a peach party in the legend."

"I know this!" Liu Xing'er said quickly: "The Queen Mother of the West has two magic treasures: one is to eat the elixir that can make you live forever, and the other is to eat the fairy peach that can prolong life-Pantao. In the myths and legends, Chang'e stole He flew to the Moon Palace after eating the elixir of the Queen Mother of the West obtained by her husband Hou Yi."

"You only know one thing, but you don't know the other thing. According to legend, the Queen Mother of the West is the protector of a certain tribe in the west, and some people call the Queen Mother the God of Fortune and Longevity!"

Yuan Xi smiled and said: "Liu Xing'er, it seems that you have to read more books in the future. Otherwise, you may not be qualified to serve the princess any more."

Liu Xing'er was anxious when she heard this, "My lord, you can't do this! This servant has been with the master since childhood. Don't even try to drive this servant away!"

When everyone heard this, they all laughed lightly.Jingyi said: "You girl, the prince is just joking with you!"

"Shangsi, the first one in March, is Shangsi, and both the officials and the people are cleansed (cleaned on the east-flowing water. It is said to wash and wash away the dirt (disease) of the place, and it is a big cleansing. Later, people added banquets by the water, Outings, etc. The Shangsi Festival is celebrated by many foreigners. How can I not care about it?"

"Do foreigners also celebrate the Shangsi Festival?"

Jingyi nodded, "Naturally, for example, the Miao people's climbing, the Buyi people's hydrangea throwing, etc. It's very lively."

"Isn't that the day when a man and a woman make love?"

"That's almost what it means." Jingyi looked at the sky outside, "Yuanxi, when are we going to leave?"

"Is it all arranged?" This question was asked by Xiang Chuyi.

"Back to the prince, everything has been arranged. The carriage is also ready."

"That's good. Yiyi, let's go now. If it's late, I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among the people."

The two got into the carriage and headed towards Yanghe.

This Yang River runs east-west, and unlike Huayang Mountain, it traverses the entire Great Abyss from east to west. It is a relatively famous river in the north of the Great Abyss.This Yanghe River is about ten miles away from the closed city, which is not too far away.One of the tributaries of the Yang River comes from the foot of Huayang Mountain.
