It is said that the people I protect are admired by the Six Realms

Bai Moqian was stunned for a moment, but in retrospect it turned out that Li Shao disliked him for scratching his clothes, so he stomped his feet angrily, "Why are you so proud, Empress Li!" Bai Moqian said angrily, Lifting a step and walking outside, the aura wanted to trample a hole in the ground.

As soon as he walked out of the courtyard of Zhen's house, a crowd of common people knelt down outside.Bai Moqian was startled, and barely stopped in her tracks.

The leader was the old lady from last night. The old woman kowtowed deeply to Bai Moqian, with her shivering and emaciated body, "The people of Chenzhou City thank you for getting rid of the evil spirits and keeping the people of Chenzhou healthy for generations—"

After the words fell, all the people kowtowed in unison to thank.

Kneeling on his knees, kneeling on his parents' knees, Bai Moqian really couldn't afford to have so many people bowing down to him.

His knees softened, and he also knelt down with a "plop", walked up to the old woman, helped her up and said, "Bai can't afford to kneel down and worship, and Mrs. Zhen is not a vicious person, please hurry up, everyone." He bent down and kowtowed to everyone.

The old lady was grateful to Bai Moqian, she kowtowed and said, "Your grace for saving my life, I will never forget it."

Everyone kowtowed to Bai Moqian again.

Bai Moqian hurriedly saluted.

As a result, more than 3 Chenzhou people and Bai Moqian performed a traditional virtue of humility and courtesy in front of the gate of Zhenfu.

Li Shao leaned against the door of the house, watching with relish.

Bai Moqian turned her head to look at Li Shao, and mouth-shaped for him: "Don't just stand there and watch the fun, Ma'am, help me."

Li Shao endured a smile, stepped forward and lifted Bai Moqian from the ground, "Can't you stand up yourself? Do you need me to lift you up?"

Bai Moqian ground his back molars, saying that he couldn't beat him yet, he turned his head angrily, and ignored Li Shao.He stepped forward to help the old woman up, raised his eyes to look at the people of Chenzhou, "please get up quickly, everyone."

He lingered in front of Zhen's house until the sun was up, and the people of Chenzhou watched him and Li Shao leave with tears in their eyes.

The two returned to the inn, and the waiter brought hot water up. After taking a bath, Bai Moqian lay down on the bed with all his clothes on, and slept until the sunset.

If it wasn't for being so hungry that he couldn't sleep, Bai Moqian would have planned to just lie on the bed and sleep until the next day.Rolled around on the bed, got up slowly, opened the door to find Li Shao.

Sure enough, Li Shao "changed" his clothes.

The peach blossoms embroidered on the scarlet robe were replaced by crabapple flowers.

It was a scorching summer day, and Bai Moqian felt hot just by looking at him.

Li Shao was leaning on the cushion, holding an ancient book in his hand, reading it with gusto.Bai Moqian leaned forward and took a few glances. The words were difficult to pronounce and difficult to understand. He really didn't know how Li Shao read such an ancient book thousands of years ago.

"Hungry?" Li Shao turned over a page of the book and asked calmly.

Bai Moqian was looking around the room boredly, and was taken aback when he heard this, and nodded a little embarrassedly, "Well, a little bit."

Li Shao put down the book in his hand, raised his eyes and glanced at him, "There is a plate of dim sum on the table, you should eat it first."

Before he finished speaking, Bai Moqian quickly moved to the table, picked up the snacks on the plate, and the two of them finished off a piece.

Seeing this, Li Shao curled his lips helplessly, got up and poured him a cup of warm tea, "Eat slowly, be careful not to choke."

While talking, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Li Shao turned his head and looked towards the door.

A little book boy with cat ears came in, he was stunned when he saw Bai Moqian in the room, and Bai Moqian was also stunned when he saw him.

Bai Moqian thought to himself: Are all the little demons so arrogant now, they dare to swagger in the world and live in the city with their ears exposed!

The little cat demon thought: Mr. has always been alone, when did you take a rabbit spirit by your side, and his eyes are still so gentle!

So the two had their own concerns and stared at each other for a long time.

Li Shao coughed, tapped the table with his fingertips, and looked at the little cat demon, "What's the matter?"

The little cat demon turned his eyes away from Bai Moqian, stepped forward, took out a gold post with a red background from his sleeve, and handed it to Li Shao respectfully, "Mr. For the feast, Madam specially ordered the villain to come and present the invitation."

"Not interested, I won't go." Li Shao didn't even look at the post, shook his head, and refused very simply.

"What is the Feast of Hundred Flowers? I'm interested." Bai Moqian was born to love to play, and when he heard about the Feast of Hundred Flowers, it must have been very lively, so he hurried forward to ask.

The little cat demon pursed her mouth, and stepped back a little bit in disgust, still holding the invitation in both hands.

Seeing the little cat demon looking at Li Shao longingly, Bai Moqian stepped forward and took the invitation from him, flipping through it and saying, "Why do you keep looking at him? He's just a mortal, at most He is a mortal with money and power, and I am a Jade Rabbit who descended from the Guanghan Palace, so it would be better to invite him than to invite me."

Li Shao: "..."

Little Cat Demon: "..."

The little cat demon bowed respectfully to Li Shao, "The invitation has been delivered, sir, and I hope you will come to meet the appointment, and my wife has prepared a thin wine for you." After saying that, he quietly left the room.

The so-called "Hundred Flowers Feast" is a feast for demons hosted by Yao Huang, king of peony flowers, and Wei Zi, queen of peony flowers, when peonies are in full bloom in mid-May.Banquets generally last for seven days.During these seven days, ghosts, demons and immortals from all corners of the country will come to the banquet.According to legend, during the heyday of the Hundred Flowers Feast, King Wen of Chu came with his partner Zhao Wenjun.

With the face of King Chu Wen, the imperial court could not send the Onmyoji to dismiss the banquet, so on the day of the Hundred Flowers Feast, Luoyang City was full of monsters, and the little monsters blatantly exposed their original bodies and swaggered around the streets.

However, since the establishment of the Hundred Flowers Feast, there have been no incidents of ghosts, demons and immortals hurting people, so the Emperor of Heaven just turned a blind eye and let them make trouble.

This year's Hundred Flowers Feast was postponed for more than a month, and it only started at the end of June and the beginning of July.

Holding a candied haws in his hand, Bai Moqian looked around on the streets of Luoyang City.

From time to time, little demons would pass him by, and they all looked at Bai Moqian with astonishment before turning and leaving.

Bai Moqian thought that they all saw that he was the Jade Rabbit under Chang'e, so he showed a shocked expression, and suddenly felt that his face was very bright, he straightened his chest, and strode forward.

Li Shao, who was following behind him, smiled helplessly, raised his hand and patted Bai Moqian's shoulder and said: "The ears are exposed, please close them."

"I don't, you look at that one, and then look at that one. They didn't confiscate it, and I didn't take it either." Bai Moqian raised his eyebrows, pointed at the little demon on the street, and said confidently: "You are a mortal, but you have to follow carefully." Behind me, I can protect you!"

As soon as this was said, all the ghosts, demons and immortals on the street stopped, and everyone stared blankly at Bai Moqian, with unpredictable expressions on their faces. For a moment, the originally noisy street was so quiet. can be heard.

Bai Moqian blinked, not sure why everyone was staring at him, he looked around and couldn't figure it out, so he handed out the two leftover candied haws in his hand, "You... Do you want to eat?"

Everyone still looked at Bai Moqian with complicated eyes.

Just when Bai Moqian was wondering, a woman's voice came, "Oh? Really?"

Bai Moqian followed the prestige, and saw a woman in a vermilion double-breasted peony robe walking slowly towards the east.

The woman's skin is as thick as fat, her mouth is like vermilion, her apricot eyes are soul-stirring, and the slightly raised willow-leaf eyebrows are dotted with peach blossom makeup.

If it is said that Concubine Mei is "the clouds think about the clothes and the flowers think about the appearance, and the spring breeze blows the threshold of Revlon", then this woman should be "the peonies are the most fragrant, and there is even a king among them".

The woman walked to Bai Moqian's side, looked at him for a while, then turned to look at Li Shao who was standing behind him, "I remember that Mr. never visits fireworks in this world."

Li Shao glanced at her lightly, "There is a contingency in everything, just in case I want to go shopping, I will go." After speaking, he turned his head to look at Bai Moqian, and raised his hand to wipe the sugar residue from the corner of his mouth , bent his eyebrows and smiled, "Let's go, where else do you want to go?"

Seeing this, the woman's face changed slightly, and she looked at Bai Moqian in disbelief, her expression was as if her beloved flowers had been inserted into an inappropriate vase.

Bai Moqian blinked, he looked at Li Shao, then turned to look at the woman in red, "Do you know each other?"

Li Shao smiled: "How can you not know Wei Zi, Queen of Peony Flowers?"

Bai Moqian felt that his 300 years in Guanghan Palace had been wasted.

First of all, he didn't realize that Si Bing was trying to plot against him, and then he didn't realize that Li Shao was the emperor's uncle, and then he was so dull that he couldn't feel that the woman was the Peony Queen.

He coughed, cupped his hands and saluted Wei Zi, "Bai Moqian has seen the flower queen."

Wei Zi nodded slightly, she raised her eyes to look at Li Shao again, said "excuse me" and left lightly, leaving only a lingering scent of peonies.All the people on the street also dispersed, doing their own things.

Bai Moqian returned to the inn with his head downcast, he nestled himself on the grand master's chair and said nothing.

Li Shao poured him a cup of warm tea, sat down on the cushion, took a sip from the teacup and said, "What's the matter? Listless? If we're tired, we'll leave tomorrow."

"No, Zhen Chong's soul hasn't been found yet, and Qu Bin doesn't know where to start. We can't leave, otherwise how can we explain to Mrs. Zhen?" Bai Moqian shook his head, he picked up the warm tea on the table and drank it up. Take a sip, "There are many ghosts, demons and immortals in the Hundred Flowers Feast, maybe we can find something."

Li Shao responded lightly, leaning on the cushion, a strand of dark hair hanging down his shoulder, with a lazy expression, as if he was tired of this matter.

After the two had dinner, Li Shao sat in the room and read a book.Bai Moqian was bored and went out to play in the street.

He was watching a juggler with enthusiasm, and suddenly bumped into someone with his back.Bai Moqian turned his head, and saw that it was a young girl.Although she bumped into him, the girl didn't intend to apologize to him at all. Her eyes were dull, she stared straight at a place, and walked forward slowly.

Bai Moqian sensed that the girl's expression was not right, so he quickly reached out to grab her, "Where are you going?"

The girl didn't answer, she didn't stop walking, and continued to move forward.

Bai Moqian stretched out her arm to stop her, the girl cried out, lowered her head and bit Bai Moqian hard.Bai Moqian felt the pain and hurriedly let go of her hand, and the girl continued to walk forward with blank eyes.

The streets were bustling and noisy, no one noticed the girl's strange behavior.Bai Moqian couldn't stop her, so he could only follow quickly to see where she was going.
