Empress of Erzhoumu: This plot is wrong!

Chapter 72 The Heavenly King Is Here
"Your Majesty, the capital seems to be buzzing all of a sudden."

"Call the son!"

"Yes, son."

It was the first time for Jiang Qingying to leave the palace at night.

Since the curfew had just been lifted for a few days, the people who had been locked up in the workshop for a long time, the freshness and excitement had not passed.

In addition, as the Chinese New Year was approaching, the number of pedestrians on Suzaku Street was no less than during the day.

Regardless of whether it is night, the lanterns of each house are hung up, and the whole street is like daytime.

Moreover, without the high walls, the people facing the street have already started doing business.

At the same time, there are many more stalls on the street, making it a good place for supper.

"Candied haws!"

Hearing the yelling, when he turned his head, he saw that there were still sellers of candied haws on the street.

Jiang Qingying touched her shriveled purse, and sighed inwardly.

Since the internal treasury was snatched away by Thief Li, it became more and more difficult for her to spend money.

He reached out to the Ministry of Accounting for money, but the Ministry of Accounting kept refusing to say that the treasury was empty.

She is a majestic emperor of Chu, and she can't wait to break two flowers with one copper coin.

"Do people in Jingzhao Mansion not care about setting up these stalls on the street?"

The man selling candied haws looked to be in his 30s and was relatively thin. He pointed to the house behind him.

"This is my home, and the official said that we can set up a stall along the street.

There are too many people this evening, so naturally they want to eat and drink. "

Maybe it was because of emotion, so the man talked more than usual.

"I heard that during the Lantern Festival, there will be lantern festivals."

Of course, I didn't forget to ask the last question.

"You two, do you want candied haws?"

Jiang Qingying stretched out a finger.

"A string."

"Okay!" The man took off a bunch of candied haws, "Take it well."

Jiang Qingying signaled.

"Xuan Ran, give me the money."

Shangguan Xuanran can receive monthly money every month, which is richer than the emperor.

On the side, Shangguan Xuanran was about to withdraw money, but was stopped by Jiang Qingying.

"Wait a minute, another string."

Shangguan was stunned for a moment.

"My lord, I won't eat."

Jiang Qingying raised her chin slightly, indicating the distance.

At this moment, just as Li Yunsheng and Wei Xiang came out of Changxingfang, they walked to Zhuque Street.

The empress raised the candied haws in her hand and let out a cry.

"Master Li!"

Li Yunsheng followed the prestige, and saw the empress disguised as a man, holding a bunch of candied haws in her hand.

Now that we have encountered it, we will naturally find a way to gain some emotional value.

"Master Jiang, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Jiang Qingying smiled shallowly, then turned her head towards the booth.

"Pay."

When he heard that he had to pay, Li Yunsheng looked at the boss.

"I don't know her well."

After speaking, he turned his head and left.

"stop!"

Jiang Qingying blocked Li Yunsheng's way, pointing at the candied haws in his hand.

"Zhen--it's really eye-opening. I have so much money in your deposit, and the interest alone is not worth this bunch of candied haws?"

Li Yunsheng's rebuttal was well-founded.

"That's a mistake. Depositing money in the bank will give the bank interest."

Jiang Qingying stared, tears were about to come out.

"You snatched my internal treasury, and you want me to give you money!"

Seeing the empress' tearful look, Li Yunsheng waved and told Wei Xiang to give the money.

After Wei Xiang gave the money, he asked for two more bunches of candied haws.

He bit into a big hawthorn by himself and handed Li Yunsheng a bunch at the same time.

Looking at the candied haws he handed over, Li Yunsheng didn't think much about it.

To be honest, he hasn't eaten this food for a long time, and he really misses the sweet and sour taste.

Seeing him take the bunch of candied haws, Jiang Qingying frowned slightly.

The thin lips moved slightly, but did not speak.

In the end, the extra string fell into the hands of Shangguan Xuanran.

At this time, the sound of beating gongs and drums, from far to near.

A long formation composed of hundreds of people came mightily.

They wear masks, dress in colorful costumes, and hold golden guns and dragon banners, playing the role of gods from all walks of life.

Wei Xiang's eyes lit up.

"What are they doing?"

On the side, Li Yunsheng explained.

"This is called Nuo opera, which means to drive away disasters and ward off evil spirits."

This was originally a major ceremony at the end of the year for the royal family, called "National Nuo".

The National Nuo is the most solemn, consisting of boys aged 12 to [-] wearing bear skins, masks with four eyes, black jackets and red trousers.

Waving a dagger in one hand and a shield in the other, they lined up in a brigade and jumped up and shouted from the corner of the palace to expel the plague.

They have been driving out of the palace and 'buried' in the river in order to have a year of peace and auspiciousness. That activity is very spectacular.

The folk performances are called "Nuo Opera", which has a strong entertainment component.

Jiang Qingying was a little puzzled.

"Isn't this a ceremony that should be held on New Year's Eve at the end of the year?"

The man selling candied haws stretched his neck to look at the various gods wearing masks and jumping all the way.

"Isn't this to celebrate the lifting of the curfew? I heard that there will be Nuo Opera every night from today until New Year's Eve."

Li Yunsheng knew that this Nuo opera was organized by Madam Cui.

Because at the front of the team, next to the twelve divine beasts being carried by everyone, there is a sign.

The sign says - Shangpinpu.

This year, Mrs. Cui has made a lot of money.

Moreover, after the abolition of the Fangshi system, according to Liu Quan, Mrs. Cui was the fastest to attack these houses facing the street.

Fortunately, it was he who proposed the abolition of the Fangshi system.

Therefore, Liu Quan was sent early to buy some vacant houses with the best locations.

At that time, whether it is renting or selling, this will be a prosperous shop.

This Mrs. Cui, among other things, is really good at doing business.

Li Yunsheng had never seen the Nuo opera before, so he also watched the excitement.

Aside, Wei Xiang asked.

"Really spirit?"

Li Yunsheng smiled.

"It's just lively and lively. If it's really spiritual, it will snow."

After speaking, he picked up the candied haws and opened his mouth to bite one.

Before he finished chewing the hawthorn in his mouth, he suddenly felt the tip of his nose cool and raised his head.

Snowing.

The throat rolled, and the sweet and sour juice entered the stomach.

When he lowered his head, he found that Jiang Qingying, Wei Xiang, and Shangguan Xuanran were all looking at him.

On the side, even the man selling candied haws looked at him differently.

Li Yunsheng didn't care that he hadn't finished eating the candied haws in his mouth.

"It's just a coincidence."

Wei Xiang pointed at the sky, clasped his hands together, and bowed.

Then a finger quietly pointed at Li Yunsheng and muttered.

"He said it, it has nothing to do with me."

cough cough.

This little move never escaped Li Yunsheng's eyes.

However, it happened so coincidentally that he really couldn't explain it clearly.

"People are doing it, the sky is watching, and the things you do, the sky is watching!"

The empress looked at Li Yunsheng, pointed to the sky and continued.

"If you are so disrespectful to the world, you will be punished sooner or later."

A hawthorn fell into his belly, and Li Yunsheng pointed at the sky with the candied haws in his hand.

"If you have the ability, you let him come down to find me."

My Creator God is here, and when the Heavenly King Laozi comes, I have to call my father before leaving.
