The shadow of the country

Just like that, Yi Lan casually found a street stall and sat down, and simply ordered a few snacks.Soon, two bowls of steaming Lantern Festival were served.But before the two of them moved their chopsticks, they saw two people walking in the noisy crowd in front of them, one was cold and arrogant, and the other was happily walking ahead and pulling him.Looking closely, it was actually Qixuan and Zifeng.

At this time, Zi Feng also saw the two of them, so he immediately pulled Qi Xuan over excitedly, and sat at a table with them.The simple and even crude stall had already attracted a lot of business because of the presence of Yi Lan, a handsome young man.Now there is another Qixuan, and the stall looks even more luxuriant.Seeing that Mu Yan was with Yi Lan, Qixuan was slightly taken aback, but he didn't ask any questions, and then returned to his indifferent expression.

Seeing the two of them, Zi Feng immediately smiled and said, "You guys are here to visit the temple fair too. No matter how many people there are at this table, the two of us are not too many, right?"

Mu Yan looked up and saw Zi Feng, smiled back, and said, "Of course not many." Seeing Qi Xuan standing aside, his expression froze for a moment, seeing Qi Xuan still standing, he always felt that he was sitting It didn't fit well, so he quickly stood up.Even if there are not many rules and restraints with Yilan, she still can't help but feel apprehensive towards Qixuan and respectful.

"Qixuan, long time no see." Yi Lan said, looking at Qixuan who was sitting beside him indifferently.

"Yeah, I haven't visited your place for a long time." Qixuan responded lightly.The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, the more familiar they are, the more ordinary they will behave, I think the two of them are like this.

"Why are you free to go out of the palace today? I remember that you were still playing the flute in the Yuefu last year. Qixuan, you have always been clear about rewards and punishments, and set an example. But recently, have you revised the Yuefu regulations?" Yi Lan Still smiling gently.

After hearing such an inexplicable question from him, Qixuan was puzzled at first, but then he realized the reason when he saw Mu Yan's embarrassed expression. It turned out that he, Su Yilan, was seeking justice for Mu Yan because of what happened last time.Qixuan raised his eyebrows lightly, and said: "The rules of the Yuefu Mansion have not been changed. It's just that there is no rule, and there is no punishment for the first violation of the mansion rules. How can everyone be convinced and build their prestige? Besides, he was already relaxed on that day."

"Oh? Does the lead musician also have to abide by the government regulations and not overstep?"

"It's natural." Qi Xuan replied casually.

"Then, do the Yuefu Mansion regulations clearly stipulate that musicians must return before You hour after leaving the palace on the first and fifteenth day of each month? It's already the third quarter of Xu hour, right? Qixuan, you are the head of the Yuefu, why don't you set an example?"

After hearing this, Qixuan was slightly taken aback, but could only grit his teeth and said bitterly: "You can take advantage of loopholes." Every year, musicians can reunite with their families to their heart's content only during the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. It has become a habit.It's just that this item has never been included in the clear provisions of the government regulations, but today he was asked by Su Yilan to take it out and vent his anger on that Liu Muyan.

"Hey, hey, let me tell you what's going on with you, don't you get along well with Qixuan on weekdays? What's the matter today? Besides, you don't have to go back home on time every year for the Lantern Festival, you don't know... " Seeing that Qixuan had the upper hand, Zifeng couldn't help but intervene to speak for him, full of support.

Seeing this, Mu Yan also panicked and said: "No, Yilan. Master Lin Yue never punished me that day. Besides, I did it before, don't hurt your relationship because of me..."

Yi Lan smiled, and moved back: "It's not a matter of hurting the relationship. It's just that Qi Xuan is like this, rigid rules, selfish, really annoying." After finishing speaking, he glanced sideways at Qi Xuan, which shows that The closeness of the two of them.

"Say I'm strict? It's you who blame me for such a fledgling musician." Qi Xuan slightly raised his eyebrows, half-jokingly.

When Mu Yan heard this, he couldn't help feeling even more embarrassed.Yi Lan just glanced at Qi Xuan indifferently, without saying anything.He pulled Mu Yan to sit down again and told him not to be afraid of him.Seeing this, Qixuan only thought it was funny, but felt that the current atmosphere of the occasion was not suitable for him to stay.So he turned his head to look at Zi Feng, and said lightly: "Zi Feng, there is still something to do in Yuefu, let's go back first."

"Huh? What's the matter? Why don't I remember..." Zifeng looked at Qixuan with a confused face.But Qixuan's eyes seemed to be slowly covered with a layer of ice crystals, and he became cold again.Seeing that Zi Feng couldn't help feeling apprehensive, "Then... that's fine. Let's go first, see you later."

Qixuan stood up, and said coldly to Yilan: "Let him go back to Yuefu before [-]:[-] pm, otherwise he will suffer, and no one will beg for mercy." After saying that, he took Zifeng and left here.

After the two left, Mu Yan was not so cautious, and slowly raised his head and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for interceding for me today. But the government regulations must not be violated, why don't we go back as soon as possible?"

"Okay." Yi Lan stood up leisurely, put the silver on the table, and took Mu Yan away.

At this moment, Yilan and Muyan were strolling leisurely along the street.Suddenly, a very simple and unremarkable stall came into view.Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a small booth for fortune-telling.The fortune teller had gray hair, and wisdom in his eyes.His booth was deserted and few people came, but he was still unhurried, with a very peaceful demeanor.

When Mu Yan saw it, he couldn't help but leaned forward curiously, "Master, can I make a divination for you?"

"I don't know what the young master wants to do." The old man stroked his gray beard while talking.Its demeanor is like a god who has lived for thousands of years, but is still manipulating the world in the dark.

Mu Yan hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's better to count it as...a marriage."

"Okay, sir, please draw a lot." The old man said, pointing to the bamboo tube placed on the table.Mu Yan randomly pulled out a stick from the bamboo tube and handed it over.The fortune teller was taken aback after receiving it, and then smiled knowingly: "This son has never married a wife or concubine in his life. It's just that this marriage has been with him for the rest of his life."

"What does this mean? Have you never married a wife or taken concubines in your life? Then...why have you been together for the rest of your life?" Mu Yan was startled and asked hastily.

The old man counted with his fingers, bowed his head and pondered for a while, and then spoke again: "If both parties are willing to pay for each other, regardless of gains and losses, and give everything, then they will stay together forever. But if they are not willing to give up wealth and power for love, but……

The vicissitudes of the old man's voice floated in the air. Although he left half of what he said, Mu Yan could vaguely guess the content of the second half of the sentence.After thinking for a while, his eyes became more determined: "Since that's the case, I know what to do in the future, thank you master." After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Yilan again: "Yilan, do you want to know what to do?" A hexagram?"

As soon as Mu Yan finished speaking, there was a little fear in the old man's eyes.Although the handsome young man had been standing silently behind him, his powerful and majestic aura could not be ignored.Just now several times of intentional observation, through physiognomy, he already has a basic understanding of that young master's fate.However, if he really said it, wouldn't it be a detriment to the current saint? !

Yi Lan also seemed to see the fear and astonishment of the old man, but she didn't pay much attention to it, she just smiled slightly and said: "No need, my fate is up to me, it's not up to God. Fate is won by myself, how could it be destined by God? After finishing speaking, he paid the silver and left with Mu Yan.Only the old man's expectant gaze was left behind to watch him off.
