Crazy criticizes the empress because she is bent on mistaking Buddhism

Chapter 37 Crossing mountains and rivers

When Yinsheng and Tianseng went downstairs, Xie Qingyun had returned to normal.

There was no anger on his face, but a bit of curiosity.

Because they live in this official post in Jingzhou City today.

It was very busy outside at the moment.

After all, after living in the palace for a long time, Xie Qingyun saw such a commotion for the first time, so she wanted to take a look.

It was still early in the day, so the group set off after having dinner.

Today seemed to be some kind of festival in Jingzhou City. The four of them walked to the street only to find that every man and woman on the street was holding a flower in their hands.

Since Xie Qingyun became emperor and no longer restricted private activities, many new festivals have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

Later, various places even gradually developed their own unique celebrations, which came in all shapes and sizes.

Although officials from various places will report the form and scale of the celebrations, if it were not for the person in charge of the celebrations from the Ministry of Rites, even Xie Qingyun would not be able to remember which of so many celebrations is which.

On the side of Yinyue Street, I grabbed a woman holding a hundred-day rose in her hand and asked with a smile: "Sister, why are you all holding flowers in your hands?"

Yinyue's smile was the most gentle and harmless. When the woman saw it, she also laughed: "Are you from other places?"

"Because today is the Chinese Valentine's Day in Jingzhou City."

Yinyue was puzzled. There was only a short time left before Chinese Valentine's Day, so why did they have to celebrate Chinese Valentine's Day in advance?

The girl opposite pursed her lips and smiled. She saw Yinyue's doubts and took the initiative to explain: "Because the Chinese Valentine's Day in Jingzhou City has a special meaning."

She said: "According to legend, during the Warring States Period, wars raged between countries. Nine out of ten men from every household went to join the army. Only the old, weak, women and children were left in the city of Jingzhou."

"On this occasion, a group of bandits took advantage of the chaos to loot and sweep Jingzhou City, trying to take the entire city as their own, and then raised their flags to rebel."

"When Jingzhou was in great danger and life and death was at stake, a female general appeared. Under her leadership, the women held weapons in hand and fought tooth and nail against the bandits for their homeland, and finally won a complete victory."

"Today is the day that female general will win."

Yinyue suddenly realized and said with a smile: "So you are celebrating the victory of that female general?"

The woman shook her head: "Yes, not entirely."

"After all, the female general was from hundreds of years ago. Moreover, the dynasty has changed a long time ago. If I say that for a female general, the Chinese Valentine's Day will be brought forward, that's not a big deal."

The woman smiled and said: "Speaking of which, the birth of this festival actually has a deeper connection with the current Saint."

"When the late emperor came to power more than ten years ago, the prefect of Jingzhou City relied on the prime minister's party to prey on the common people in Jingzhou City, causing public resentment."

"Until the present Holy Emperor ascended the throne, the prime minister whom the prefect was backing was killed. The prefect had no backer for a while, and he did a lot less evil."

"A few years later, there was a flood in Jingzhou. The prefect didn't want to control the flood, but he thought about how to hide it from the emperor and suppress the matter."

"Fortunately, Emperor Shengming quickly discovered something was wrong and took the initiative to send Jin Yiwei to investigate. The flood issue was officially taken seriously and brought under control."

"The emperor was so angry that he naturally beheaded the prefect in public. The flood was quickly quelled. In order to compensate everyone, the emperor also exempted the people of Jingzhou from paying taxes for three years."

"Coincidentally, the day when the flood was eliminated also happened to be today."

The woman smiled brightly: "So, we regard the day when the female general who defeated the bandits won and the day when His Majesty sent people to eliminate the flood as the special Chinese Valentine's Day in Jingzhou City."

"It means that mountains and rivers meet each other."

"As long as women hold flowers in their hands and offer them to their sweethearts on this day, they will be protected by the female general and His Majesty, and they will be united with their sweethearts forever."

"Of course, a man can also hold flowers and offer them to the woman he likes, asking for her response."

"If two people give flowers to each other, it means that a happy event is coming and they are about to get married."

It turns out that this is the origin.

Yinyue looked at Xie Qingyun excitedly, but only saw a confused look on the latter's face.

After taking the throne for so many years, floods and droughts have happened frequently, several of them every year.

Countless ministers were killed with their bodies bare.

Xie Qingyun no longer remembers the old things that happened in Jingzhou a few years ago.

But this Chinese Valentine's Day actually made her want to laugh.Aren't these women too confused to regard her as a person who can bring love?

After all, even she herself was so distressed by Nahuang Fu's excuses that she didn't know how to deal with it.

Yinyue quickly thanked the woman and said goodbye, and Xie Qingyun walked to a flower stall.

The owner of the flower stall has been selling flowers for many years. When he saw Xie Qingyun, he immediately took out a lotus and handed it out: "It emerges from the mud and remains unstained. It is pure and firm. This flower is the most suitable for a girl."

Xie Qingyun took the flowers and said thank you.

He turned around and looked at the other three people: "I wonder if the store can also choose flowers for the three of them?"

The boss glanced at Tianseng, thought for a while, took out a small platycodon and handed it over.

That's what hopeless love means.

Xie Qingyun's eyes darkened.

What Yinyue got was the Lingxiao flower.

Yinsheng is a sunflower.

A total of three pennies, because the store refused to accept Xie Qingyun's penny no matter what.

The four of them took the flowers and quickly moved forward with the flow of people.

The place Xie Qingyun wants to go to is Flower Street.

Because according to the flower seller, it is the most lively place on Chinese Valentine's Day. It is full of lanterns, and you can watch the fireworks later.

Yinsheng and Yinyue looked at each other, and Yinyue said: "Girl, it's getting late. We have to go on a journey tomorrow. There are so many people in Huajie, I'm afraid we won't be able to get back if we squeeze through."

There is no such thing as too many people. Even if Yinsheng Yinyue and other secret guards are there, it is not certain that His Majesty can be protected safely.

Yinyue looked at Xie Qingyun eagerly, hoping that she would understand her and not go to Flower Street.

Xie Qingyun looked at the lotus in her hand and felt a little distressed: "But I haven't given this flower away yet."

Silver Moon subconsciously glanced at the Heavenly Monk beside her.

Xie Qingyun smiled: "Well, if you can get the Heavenly Monk to accept my flower and make him willingly give his flower to me, I will consider going back, how about it?"

If you send flowers, won't you be blessed by the emperor for a long time?
Then she protects herself and doesn’t know whether to do it or not.

However, this stumped Yinsheng Yinyue.

The sky monk is as cold as the full moon in the sky, and everyone in the palace knows it.

It is a well-known fact that the emperor expressed his love to the Celestial Monk many times, but was rejected every time.

They couldn't do what Xie Qingyun did, threatening other people's lives.

Besides, Xie Qingyun also said that she wants a willing person.

It’s clear that I don’t want to go back.

Yinyue looked at Tianseng with a hint of expectation.

As an eminent monk, he would understand the difficulties of these secret guards no matter what, right?

Sure enough, after listening to Xie Qingyun's words and feeling Yin Yue's pitiful gaze, Tian Monk's expression became a little stiff.

He looked down at the flower in his hand.

It's just a flower.

If it had been before, he would never have minded, because he believed in himself and would not stir up trouble just because of a flower.

But I don’t know why, this time the monk hesitated.

After a while, he finally calmed down and prepared to hand over the flowers.

However, at the next moment, a hand held his wrist.

　Make up for yesterday, there will be an update later, I am not sure how many chapters, I may write more, it depends on my ability.
