Qiao Yi

A few days after Qixi Festival, it is the ghost festival in July and a half.

It is generally believed that the seventh month and a half is the day when the gate of hell is opened, the most cloudy day, and the souls of the dead will return to the world on this day.People will burn ghost papers, ingots and other objects on this day to worship the dead.

Many people in the capital hang white cloths on the doorways, which means that someone in the family has died.In this plague, many people died in the city. In some alleys, almost every household was hung with white cloth, and even some entire households died. This shows how much death and damage this plague has caused.

Fortunately, that plague has passed, and no people in the city died of the disease.

But despite the past, some pain is always in people's hearts.

On this day, the hawkers who set up stalls in the city closed their stalls early, and the shops on the street closed earlier than in the past.As the sun slanted to the west, there were no pedestrians, carriages and horses walking on the street. Everyone would rush back home before dark and would not wander outside.

In the past, Qiao Yi didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but he couldn't help but not believe in some things, otherwise he wouldn't have fallen into this strange world inexplicably and revived the dead, so there were certain things that he didn't believe in.

But if you want to say how much you believe, you won't be too far; but if you say you don't believe it at all, you don't have it.

Most people in the world are in awe of ghosts and gods, and would rather believe in their existence than in their non-existence.

For some unknown things, just be in awe, and there is no need to scare yourself too much.The world is getting bigger and bigger, not everything can be understood so clearly.

Knowing that today's day is special, Qiao Yi asked the craftsmen working in the shop to work for half a day, so that everyone could finish their work early in the afternoon and go home early.

After noon, the sky became cloudy, and it began to rain lightly until it stopped in the evening.As soon as the rain stopped outside, they saw their prince come back, Qiao Yi smiled and said, "You came back so early today?"

"Yeah." Xie Yin sat down opposite the boy, and someone brought him some tea. He picked up the cup and took a sip

Two people live under the same roof, but they are both doing their own things without interfering with each other.This person went out early in the morning every day, and Qiao Yi didn't know what he was doing outside, and he wouldn't ask when he came back. If he didn't come to his side, he wouldn't know that this person came back.

But most of the time, this person would show up to him at night, and he would heal his old wounds and control the little thing in his body.

The two have always been together in this mutual cooperative relationship, but Qiao Yi feels that their relationship seems to be a bit different recently, Xie Yin appears to him more and more often, and the time is getting earlier and earlier, the two of them They will also sit together and have a cup of tea and chat for a while, so is this a good thing or a good thing?

"Do you believe in ghosts and gods in this world?" Qiao Yi asked, looking at the man in front of him.

"If you believe it, you have it, if you don't believe it, you don't have it." Xie Yin put down the cup in his hand, looked into the eyes of the young man, and replied.

"……"Is not this nonsensical?Qiao Yi couldn't help but rolled her eyes.

The two sat here and chatted for a while, talking about the capital city. Qiao Yi came back from the outside today and saw that many people outside had white cloths hanging on the doorways. Of course, they didn't hang anything in the Ming Palace.Everyone outside is celebrating the ghost festival, and they haven't even prepared any paper money here, and it's still the same as in the past.

"Don't go out if you have nothing to do these few days, come back early." Xie Yin said.

"Oh." Qiao Yi pouted at the man opposite with a pair of eyes, meaning why, and asked, "Are you afraid of something outside?"

Xie Yin smiled, and didn't explain to the young man, of course he didn't believe it, it's just that the people in the city will return home early recently, and it's not safe to be outside too late.Maybe the boy didn't know that every time he squinted his eyes and looked at people with his eyes, he looked very innocent and cute.

His eyes fell on the young man's bright red lips, and the man's Adam's apple rolled.

The boy looked at his expression with small eyes, reminding him of the boy's drunk appearance that day.If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have known that his little princess looked so... seductive when she was drunk.

It's just that that night, at the last moment, he still held back and didn't touch the boy.

As for the reason, Xie Yin knew in his heart that he didn't want to possess the boy when he was drunk. Although this was the little princess he married by order, even if they had some relationship, it was only natural, but he still didn't do that. Do.If there is a physical relationship between them one day, it must be your wish. What he wants is for the young man to truly and willingly give himself to him.

"Why are you looking at me like this?" Qiao Yi felt a little creepy when Xie Yin looked at him, staring at the man with guarded eyes, and asked.

Xie Yin withdrew his gaze, smiled, and said nothing.

It was getting late and night fell.

On the street outside, the common people carry paper money and ingots to the intersection to burn, which means to guide relatives who have left home to find the way back.There were quite a few people squatting on the side of the street, everyone was burning paper money and ingots, people were chanting, and they didn't know what they were chanting.

"Ding-ding-ring--"

At this time, the sound of bells rang in the street, and a group of monks who came down from Xiangguo Temple wore yaksha ghost masks on their faces, dancing, and rang the bells in their hands, dancing all the way there.At this time, when the common people see it, they will sprinkle the copper coins in their hands.

The monks on the street walked along the way, and the crisp bells rang along the way.

On this day, many mansions in the capital closed their doors early, and no one in the mansions went out.Most of the houses of these high-ranking families pay attention to many rules, and the people below are not allowed to burn paper money to pay homage to the dead without permission. However, when some relatives die in their homes, there will always be people who sneak out to burn them outside.

After burning the paper money, the people went home, closed the door of the small courtyard, and hid in the house.

There is a pile of ashes left on the street. Once the wind blows, the ashes are all over the street, making this night even more eerie.

Ming Palace closed its doors early, only the two lanterns hanging on the door were lit.

After they had dinner, Qiao Yi asked someone to set up the chessboard, and together with Xie Yin, they played chess in the room.He asked someone to make a set of military chess. The two of them are now playing military chess. He could win two sets of military chess at the beginning, but Qiao Yi found that it would be very difficult for him to beat Xie Yin later on.

Xie Yin has been fond of playing military chess since he played military chess for the first time. Although the level of chess he played with the little princess is average, it is better than nothing. Playing chess together can pass the time.

Occasionally, if he wins too much, Xie Yin will let the little princess win a game, so that the little princess will not always look at him with a dissatisfied expression.

he.

The inner courtyard of the palace is very deep, and they can't hear the outside sound at all.

I don't know if I feel that today is unusual, the children in the family are very clingy to him, and they have followed his ass since it got dark, refusing to leave.The two were still playing chess, the child had already fallen asleep on the soft bed, Qiao Yi asked someone to bring a small quilt to cover the child, and they continued to play chess without affecting it.

"Haha..." Qiao Yi yawned several times in a row, and just finished the last round. Without a doubt, he still lost the last round.

"Don't play, don't play. I'm going to sleep." Always losing, playing is not interesting at all! "Let's play other games tomorrow." In his mind, he wondered if there were any other games to play. In fact, there were quite a few, such as playing cards and playing mahjong. These are fun only if four people play together.

"Others?" Xie Yin didn't ask anyone to clean up the chessboard, and took the chess pieces back into the box by himself, a little curious about what other fun things his little princess said, "More interesting than this army chess?"

"...It's very interesting!" Qiao Yi nodded earnestly, and the two put the chess piece back together with hands.It's just that when he was about to go to bed, he was faced with a difficult problem when he saw the child sleeping beside him.

Is this worth thinking about?With a wave of his hand, Prince Ming sent someone to carry the sleeping boy back to the bed where he should go to sleep.

The corners of Qiao Yi's mouth twitched as he watched, but he didn't say anything, you are the prince and you have the final say.

At night, two people lie on the same bed, one sleeps on one side, and there is a road between them, and no one touches the other.As soon as he fell asleep, he heard a faint sound of bells, tinkling bells...

I had a dream at night, and when I woke up the next day, I felt a chill in my buttocks.

"..." Qiao Yi, Mahler Gobi!

Lifting her face from the man's arms, Qiao Yi pursed her lips, trying to laugh, but couldn't.

He obviously slept on his side last night, why did he come to someone else's place early in the morning?Pushing away the man who was hugging him, Qiao Yi rolled up the quilt, wanting to bury herself in it.

"Huh?" What's the matter?Xie Yin just woke up, and he still didn't understand that his little princess wrapped herself in a quilt as a cicada pupa when she woke up in the morning. From his perspective, she happened to see the boy's reddened ears.

Although it's not too hot in July, it's not too cold, so wrap yourself up so you don't get bored.

Until a little later, when he thought of his little princess blush in the morning, a flash of light flashed in his mind, His Highness Prince Ming understood why his little princess was like that in the morning.

The next day Qiao Yi remembered something, and took Qiao Xiaole out early in the morning, and took a carriage to Xiangguo Temple.When Xie Yin heard the people below say that the young man went to Xiangguo Temple, he felt a little puzzled in his heart, so he said, "Got it."

As for why the boy went to Xiangguo Temple, Xie Yin didn't go into it.
