Stunning at Every Step: Sheng Chong Ghost Princess

Chapter 193
Then he said to Fei Chi, "Go back to Prince Yan's Mansion."

Why do you feel that what he said was wrong?Mingyue, who was on the carriage, was in a daze. What is the difference between bullying and pleasing?
Did he think... those shameless actions he did to her were to please her rather than bully her?

Is that what he thought? !
Mingyue quickly stuck her head out of the window and shouted: "Anyway, you are not allowed to have unreasonable thoughts about me!"

She didn't expect him to answer, she just wanted to express her position, and not let him take advantage of the loopholes in her words.But unexpectedly heard him answering from behind:
"what."

what……

Are you agreeing or not?

Is that person really Ghost Face himself?Suddenly so easy to talk...

But no matter what, at least he promised not to hurt the people around her, Mingyue felt at ease a lot, she went back to the palace and went straight to Jing'an Hall.

Bai Yu came out from Jing'an Hall, saw her and said: "Your Highness just fell asleep, it's best not to disturb."

That's right, he should take a break at this point.

Mingyue returned to the academy.

On the Lantern Festival on the 15th of the first lunar month, the bright moon rises early.

Just before dawn, many people went to Taohuawu to enjoy the flowers together.This year's peach blossoms bloom very early, and people hope to have luck with the peach blossoms.There are also people carrying small hoes, with small bamboo baskets hanging in front of the hoes.

Ni Xiang, who came out with Mingyue, said: "Many people will bury flowers during the flowering season."

This reminded Mingyue of the bridge where Daiyu buried flowers, which was a bit poetic, but they didn't know that the peach blossoms were not in auspicious bloom.

Ni Xiang asked, "What are you doing up so early?"

"Yesterday, the city was full of peach blossoms overnight. It reminded me that I found peach blossoms on His Highness's pillow. Mrs. Hou Ruyan also said that Duan Shilang fell in love with Qiongzhi after having peach blossoms on his pillow, so I felt a little uneasy."

"Peach blossoms on the pillow." Ni Xiang frowned and said, "Peach blossoms are love dreams." She slowly looked at Mingyue, "How did the young master wake up His Highness that day?"

"Uh..." Mingyue couldn't answer now, "I didn't do anything either."

Ni Xiang didn't continue to ask her and cupped his hands: "The morning is frosty, young master, don't stand outside for too long."

"it is good."

The sky is getting brighter, the fog in the streets and alleys is gradually dissipating, and the bright moon walks back to Jing'an Hall from Dongli Garden.

After a while, Chu Ziyan should get up.

Mingyue walked into his bedroom and sat down on the edge of his bed. At this time, she saw a few peach blossoms on his pillow, and Mingyue raised her heart slightly.

At this time, Chu Ziyan frowned slightly, and Mingyue knew that it was another peach blossom dream on his pillow.

Lowering his head to kiss the crease between his brows, Chu Ziyan's eyebrows moved and he slowly opened his eyes.She touched his face and asked softly, "Do you have a headache?"

Chu Ziyan put his hand on the back of her hand: "I can find you in my dream."

"Of course, because I am everywhere in your world, including your dreams." Her eyes were full of indulgent love.

The corners of Chu Ziyan's mouth curled up slightly, feeling the coolness of her palm for a while, and he sat up from the bed, a peach blossom fell from his hair, he lowered his eyes and then looked at Mingyue.

Mingyue picked up the pink petal and said without concealing: "Something may happen today, but don't worry too much, I will be fully prepared."

"Only Mingyue is with me, it doesn't matter what happens."

Moon nodded.

Since she expressed her heart to him, she has a stronger desire to protect him, otherwise she would not risk her life to ask the ghost to issue a military order, but she would not tell him these things, so as not to worry him.

Not long after, Prince Rui sent someone to invite Chu Ziyan to Taohuawu to enjoy the peach blossoms.

Years ago, when the peach blossoms first saw a little flower bag, Prince Rui invited King Yan to the mansion, Chu Ziyan was the Qiongzhi whom Chu Ziyan met at that time, the two played the piano together, and finally invited to enjoy the peach blossoms .

The third prince, Chu Zirui, is suave and suave. He once established Shengxian Zhuang, but he was suppressed for many years after the case of the ghost painter Cai Xiufeng, but his romantic character could not be changed. Today he invited many people to visit Taohuawu together on a painting boat. .

Zhao Mingyue and Chu Ziyan boarded King Shang Rui's boat on time.

On the luxuriously decorated cruise ship, as expected, in addition to some famous sons and daughters, there are singers and dancers from Miaoyinfang, of course Qiongzhi and Haitang are indispensable among them, and in addition to these, there is Duan Hong, the servant of Zhongshu.

Qiongzhi was still cold and high-spirited, when everyone bowed to Chu Ziyan, she just stood in the corner and followed silently.

Chu Ziyan swept past the crowd and walked up to Qiongzhi: "Excuse me."

Qiongzhi stood up, respectful but not humble.

Chu Ziyan didn't care about it, and his appearance was still polite: "A few days ago, the king was ill, and later I heard that the chief minister went to bother the girl."

"Don't dare to bother you, as long as your Highness is in good health."

"Yesterday I dreamed of meeting each other in Taoyuan, and today I was lucky enough to take a boat trip on the river together, which is also my promise to enjoy the peach blossoms together that day."

"Your Highness still remembers."

"Naturally I won't forget."

Taohuawu is on the east side of Jinling. The banks of the Taohua River are like smoke and willows, reflecting the water with colorful peach blossoms.The white walls and black tiles are hidden among the flowers, the corners of the cornices are raised, and the lattice windows.People, water, peach blossoms, and houses form an interesting contrast, which is very poetic and picturesque.

There are talented men and beautiful women who recite poems in response to the occasion.

Mingyue also remembered that there was a poem written like this:

Floating boats, jumping green boats, and green shade cages outside the small bridge gate.

have what……

There are painted boats in front of the door, and red plums fall outside the wall.

and many more.

But, how can Mingyue feel poetic and picturesque in her heart at this time?Although she was calm on the face, she was very attentive to everything around Chu Ziyan in her heart.

The boat pushed the waves and drove slowly, and the people on the boat sang to the wine, crossed the peachy scenery on both sides, crossed the arch bridges, and slowly drove out of the urban area of ​​Jinling.

Arriving at the most splendid spot in Taohuawu, the painting boat docked on the shore.

Qiongzhi plays the pipa.

The "Peach Blossom Ferry" she once played was a lyrics she adapted later, and what she is playing today is the original song of Xianggu, and the poems are full of affection.

The flower gallery grows splendidly along the river, and the burial of flowers is fragrant with hoes.

Green shirts stand under the red trees, and the peach blossoms are not as fragrant as the gentleman.

Bury the souls of fallen heroes today, and seek to make a pair of shadows in the coming year.

The spring flower and green shirts are happy for two people, embroidered so that there are two mandarin ducks on the pillow.

Regardless of wind and rain, we will help each other in the same boat, and we will live up to this life and the next life.

I only hope that the spring breeze is infinitely strong, and the two shadows under the flowers lean on the railing.

Mingyue doesn't know what it was like when Xianggu sang this song, but Qiongzhi also felt that there was a relationship between the peach blossoms on both sides of the strait when she sang it.

Fangfo saw again that when Xianggu went to bury flowers and ran into Duan Hong, the long-lasting relationship between the two fell in love.

Today it is still Taohuadu, or Taohuawu, but after ten years of spring breeze, they did not wait for the two shadows under the flowers to lean against the railing, but the fragrant bones became withered.

It has to be said that every word in these lyrics is to the heart, to the heart of Duan Hong.

Mingyue couldn't help looking at Duan Hong in the crowd.

Duan Hong's haggard face no longer looks like the Yinglang he had when he first met, perhaps because he experienced the pain of bereavement, along the way, except for Prince Rui's occasional greetings with him, he strictly abides by etiquette, and never even looked at Qiong Zhi's face.

Now that Qiongzhi is sitting on the bow of the boat, flicking the pipa and singing fragrant songs, Duan Hong can't help himself, staring at Qiongzhi with endless shame and sadness on his face, the sleeves of his green shirt are already wet with tears.

Chu Ziyan walked up to Duan Hong, with the usual expression: "Is Master Duan okay?"

Duan Hong forced a smile on his face, but he seemed to be several years older in an instant than when Mingyue saw him before: "Thank you, King Yan, for your concern, and I'm safe." There was a lot more depression and sadness in his voice.

Chu Ziyan: "Master Duan's sad mood is because he never forgets Mrs. Xianggu, or is he genuinely moved by Miss Qiongzhi?"

Duan Hong clasped his hands in a salute: "The subject is just touching the scene, so don't make fun of it, Your Highness."

"Now that you have Mrs. Ruyan, can I come forward and get close to Miss Qiongzhi?"

Duan Hong paused, and stopped talking: "...Why does King Yan need to ask his subjects?"

"I shouldn't ask you." Chu Ziyan smiled faintly and walked towards Qiongzhi, "Mingyue."

"Yes."

Mingyue stepped forward holding the piano.

The ensemble of Chu Ziyan and Qiongzhi brought the atmosphere on the boat to a climax.

It was almost noon, and suddenly a few dark clouds floated in the sky, the bright sun was overshadowed, and a thin layer of mist formed on the water surface.The aroma of peach blossom appears more fragrant.

Because it was too fragrant, Mingyue became vigilant and looked around.

On the surface of the river, including under the peach groves on both banks, gray mist emerged faintly.

Ni Xiang looked at Mingyue's serious expression, and stepped forward to ask, "Young Master, what did you find?"

"It doesn't smell right."

Ye Shi came over and said to Mingyue: "You have to leave quickly, this is the smell of returning soul incense."

"Returning Soul Fragrance?"

The soul-returning incense is a kind of spiritual thing, the fragrance can be spread for dozens of miles, and the dead can be resurrected after smelling it.

Ming Yue: "Ni Qu, tell His Highness Prince Rui to turn around and go back immediately." Ni Xiang is a royal onmyoji, and his words are more credible than hers.

"Yes."

"What did you say?" Prince Rui's complexion darkened when he heard the words, and under Ni Xiang's persuasion, he reluctantly asked people to turn the boat around and prepare to go back.

Ye Shi shook his head: "It's too late."

At this time, the water in the Taohua River was shaking non-stop, as if something was spraying upwards from the bottom of the water, and the clear water gradually became darker.Suddenly, the bottom of the painting boat was bumped several times, everyone was shocked, and suddenly someone screamed:
"Ghost... ghost!"

"It's a water ghost!"

Evil spirits with gray complexions, black eyes, and various degrees of rot emerged from the water surface. They were indeed water ghosts.

The gloomy and wet water ghost moved towards the boat.

Prince Rui shouted: "Onmyoji quickly retreat from the evil!"

Ni Qu led several onmyojis to deal with the water ghosts on the surface of the water.

Not far away, there were also two boats attacking these evil spirits, they were the boats of Yueshan School Onmyoji.Fu Ruoshui and Ji Zexi have been following Prince Rui's boat from afar.

However, as the breath of the soul-returning incense spread, more and more water ghosts appeared on the water surface.

At this time, someone shouted again: "No, the boat is leaking!"

how is this possible? !Although there are many water ghosts, it is impossible to destroy the cabin so easily.

Mingyue was wondering when she saw Haitang rushing up with a cloak in her arms: "It's really leaking! Girl, we have to get off the boat, or we'll drown."

Haitang supports Qiongzhi and runs to the shore.

The people on board also rushed to the shore in confusion.

It seems that the bottom of the boat was not broken by the water ghost, but by the people on board.

We had no choice but to go ashore.

As soon as they landed on the shore, the dead people or dead bones in the ground also crawled out of the ground smelling the fragrance of returning souls. The crowd who admired the peach blossoms fled in fright, and the sound of howling ghosts and wolves was heard everywhere.
