It's hard to be the king of rebirth

Li Sang touched Zhou Xu's palm prints, and said in a serious manner: "This son is destined to be rich and noble, he is a nobleman among the nobles, but... trapped by obsession, he has committed a lot of crimes, and he will do more good deeds in the future. , you must not indulge in romantic affairs, otherwise...you will die if you do many unrighteous actions, hey!"

"..." Zhou Xu scolded Li Sang in his heart, and rolled his eyes to the sky. Since he made it up, can't he say something good?This Li Sang went too far, probably because he remembered... what happened that night.

The emperor laughed a few times beside Zhou Xu, clapped his hands and said, "I think this old gentleman is pretty accurate."

Zhou Xu said with a dry smile, "Brother says it's right, so let's do it."

The emperor stretched out his left hand in front of Li Sang, raised the corner of his mouth and said: "This old gentleman, show me the palmistry too."

Zhou Xu gave Li Sang a cold look, and reminded him not to do any dangerous actions without authorization. Of course Li Sang knew it well, and smiled almost imperceptibly.

Li Sang carefully touched the emperor's palm lines, sometimes frowning, sometimes showing his face, Zhou Xu was terrified when he saw it, fearing that he would grab the emperor's neck or draw his long sword out of its sheath in the next moment.

After a long time, he slowly said: "Young master, I'm afraid it's..." After a pause, he squeezed his beard.

Zhou Xu stared at Li Sang with wide eyes, fearing that he might say something serious, but the emperor had a relaxed expression on his face and didn't care.

"I'm afraid he has a richer fate than that young master just now. It's weird. I have been in the fortune-telling business for decades, and I have never seen such a noble person. However, although the young master is rich and powerful, but the water A boat can be carried and a boat can be overturned, and everything must be done with caution.”

The emperor's face darkened, and after a while, he smiled again: "Can the old gentleman explain in more detail?"

Li Sang laughed dryly, and said: "This old man is not good at learning, so this is the only way to go." He said and handed a lottery to the emperor.The lottery holder is an ordinary thing, and the strange thing is that there is only one lottery in this lottery holder.

The emperor took it out and looked at it, and it was engraved: If you do an unrighteous thing, you will not be guilty if you kill it, and you will win the world, and the benevolent will not do anything.

Zhou Xu gasped, and then looked at the emperor's face, but the spring breeze was still warm, without any surprise.

The emperor cupped his hands to Li Sang, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your guidance today, sir." Then he put a piece of silver into the broken bowl next to Li Sang, pulled Zhou Xu and turned away towards the river, and smiled lightly beside him Said: "Go and see the river lantern."

Zhou Xu held the ball of paper tightly hidden in his sleeve, turned his head and glanced at Li Sang, Li Sang kept his expression on his face, and nodded slightly at him.

Zhou Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The night is dark, candles are already lit on the river, and the laughter and singing of Yingying and swallows are heard from the boats in the lake.

Different from the Hungry Ghost Festival, in addition to the lotus lanterns, there are also watermelon lanterns, pumpkin lanterns, and gourd lanterns on the river. Hundreds of thousands of them float down from the upper reaches of the river.

The bustling river lanterns, bustling people, Zhou Xu walked in front of the emperor, blocking the crowd for him.The two of them are too eye-catching, which is more beautiful than the lights of the river.Those who passed by with raglan shoulders were all amazed, the shy ones would sneak a second glance, the bold ones stopped to stare and whisper, and what's more, they were dumbfounded and blocked their way. People just nodded and smiled, and didn't care.

The emperor said with a smile in Zhou Xu's ear: "Hengzhi, once you come, they don't want to appreciate the river lantern anymore, so you are more beautiful than the river lantern."

Zhou Xu also teased and said: "Speaking of beauty, how can I be one-tenth as good as my brother? The river lights on the water are so beautiful that they lose their color. The ancients said that the beauty of the country is nothing more than that—" Zhou Xu was young In the Zuiyin Building, I was used to listening to prostitutes boasting obscene words about girls, and I said it casually when I was proud of it, but after thinking about it, I felt a slip of the tongue. How can I describe the emperor with words that molested girls?This is really disrespectful... immediately dare not say more.

The emperor coughed dryly twice, and Zhou Xu sneaked a sneaky glance, but saw that the emperor's face was not angry, but slightly flushed.Zhou Xu was surprised, but didn't dare to think too much.

"I haven't been in shape all day..." The emperor said lightly, and his face returned to normal.

Zhou Xu didn't dare to speak for a long time, her palms were slightly sweaty, but when she looked up, she met her savior.He looked at a small stall of Dongying neng noodles in the crowd, raised the corner of his mouth, and led the emperor to push through the crowd and walked over.

"These noodles are so ugly." The emperor smiled as he looked at the assortment of strange noodles on the wooden shelf.

Looking at the description of the two, the boss knew that they were noble people, and said attentively: "You two gentlemen, these noodle noodles were imported from Japan as far away, and they were drawn with high-quality cypress wood. Now they are the most fashionable gadgets. Bufan must be from a famous family, taking advantage of the excitement today, why don't you buy two noodle noodles?"

The emperor turned to Zhou Xu and said with a smile, "Then buy two? Otherwise, our Hengzhi will be too eye-catching."

Zhou Xu also smiled: "If brother is happy, it's worth buying this shelf of face."

The emperor smiled, and turned around to look at the shelves full of masks. He estimated that there were sixty or seventy kinds of masks. Although each mask had a different look and color, they all exuded a dark and mysterious atmosphere.

The boss kept introducing that people from Japan like to wear Noh masks for singing and dancing performances. This Noh drama is mostly about girls who are trapped in love and die of depression, young women who are cursed and turned into snakes, and warriors who sacrificed their lives in wars. Stories about the undead and many ghosts and gods, the more the emperor found it more interesting, his eyes lingered, and finally stopped on a fox face.

"Heng Zhi, you think this is the best for you." The emperor picked up a white fox face painted with red totems, put it on Zhou Xu's face, squinted his eyes slightly, nodded and said with a smile: "It's really suitable." Extremely."

"Brother, do you mean I look like a fox?" Zhou Xu smiled wryly.

"Isn't it? You have a peach blossom face and a cunning stomach." The emperor deliberately pulled out his voice, which was revenge for Zhou Xu's comparison of him as a beautiful woman.

Zhou Xu shook his head and said with a smile, "Brother says yes." But he secretly laughed in his heart that the emperor really held grudges terribly.

"My lord, in Japan, the fox is regarded as the god of Inari, the messenger between humans and gods. Wearing a fox mask is to have the power of divination." The boss said with a smile.

"Okay, that's it." The emperor turned to Zhou Xu and continued, "Heng Zhi, why don't you choose one for me?"

Zhou Xu raised the corner of his mouth and said, "It's better to be obedient than to be respectful."

Although these noodles are all unique and interesting, they all have an absurd and weird air. They are really not good-looking, and they are a little scary. The mask, although it is quite gruesome and terrifying to look at carefully, but compared to those vicious masks, it is indeed a little more normal and good-looking.

"Brother, what do you think of this?" Zhou Xu picked up the white-skinned girl's mask and placed it on his own face.

The emperor was stunned for a moment, then smiled, tapped Zhou Xu's forehead lightly with his fingers a few times, and said, "Hengzhi actually holds more grudges than me." Then he took the mask and put it on his face, looking at Zhou Xu. Zhou Xu said: "Ugly or not? As a brother, I will fulfill your wish today."

The boss at the side also smiled and said: "Young master, the female face you picked is called Wan Mei's face, and it is the most charming among all capable faces."

Zhou Xu felt something was wrong when he heard it, but he didn't know it was a woman's face!Still the cutest!

Where is it flattering and where is it feminine?The Japanese people's taste is really peculiar...

Be good, not only did I compare the emperor to a beauty who can overwhelm the country, but I also chose the most charming female face for him... Zhou Xu kept complaining, he really didn't mean to be wronged.

If you really wear the energy mask, passers-by on the road will no longer stare at their faces, and feel much more at ease.

Zhou Xu bought two lotus lanterns. When he was in Yangzhou before, his mother also took him to release lotus lanterns with the sisters in Zuiyinlou to pray for blessings on the first and fifteenth day of the summer night. He remembered that the girls wrote down their wishes Enter the silk, then tie the silk to the lotus lamp, light the lotus lamp, and let it flow down the river, saying that the river god can see their wishes.

Zhou Xu told the emperor the method in a similar manner, and the emperor smiled: "Where does the lotus lantern go?"

Zhou Xu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "That depends on how far brother's wish goes."

The emperor pondered for a moment while holding the pen, and suddenly made up his mind, he picked up the pen and wrote down the numbers, then carefully tied the silk to the lotus lantern.

Zhou Xu didn't believe in these little things, so he didn't write anything. He went to the riverside with the emperor, lit the lamps and went down the river, ups and downs with thousands of lotus lanterns, and couldn't tell each other apart. Yes, prosperous and bleak.

The two sat by the river without speaking, singing and laughing in the boat, wave after wave of lotus lanterns flowed from several miles away in front of them, and then flowed from their feet to a distant place, and some of the lotus lanterns went out halfway , Some were washed ashore, caught by the weeds on the bank and ran aground.The more you go down, the more lonely and cold, and gradually desolate.

"I don't know where my lotus lantern has gone, is it still on?" the emperor said softly, his voice was like a whisper.

Zhou Xu looked at the dotted surface of the river: "My brother's wish must be related to the peace and prosperity of the Dajing Kingdom. The river god would not dare to neglect, so it must be the lotus lantern that goes the farthest and burns the longest."

The emperor laughed: "This small river can't carry the country of Dajing Kingdom. I just wrote some... insignificant thoughts from my heart."

Zhou Xu didn't answer the emperor's words, and the two sat by the river in silence for a long time.After the second watch, the people watching the lanterns left one after another, and there was a lot of air on the shore, but the music of the boats continued one after another. The guests became more and more interested after drinking, and the laughter seemed to last until dawn.

The emperor opened the seal of the lotus brewing wine, took a few sips sullenly, said nothing, and there was no gloomy expression on his face, the wind was clear and the moon was bright, which was pleasant.After a while, his face was tired, he didn't say he was sleepy, but he kept laughing, and his eyes were full of mist.

Zhou Xu thought that the emperor should be tired after a day of tossing around, so he said, "The fun is almost over, shall we go back?"

The emperor didn't want to end the night just like this. After holding on for a while, his head became dizzy. After a while, he couldn't open his eyes. It seemed that he had never been so relaxed and sleepy before. Swallowing, he had no choice but to follow Zhou Xu, and walked slowly back to the inn with him, and the hustle and bustle of the boat became more and more ethereal.

Seeing the emperor's reluctance, Zhou Xu said softly, "If brother likes it, come back later."

The emperor smiled, pondered for a moment, and then nodded lightly.

Back at the inn, seeing Xiaofu's anxious expression on the verge of crying, Zhou Xu teased and said, "I sent my brother back to you in good condition, not a single hair is missing, don't worry."

Xiaofu immediately apologized and said with a smile: "Wang... the second son is right, it's just a little ignorant."

The emperor gave Zhou Xu a sideways look, and said with a smile, "Don't bully Xiaofu." He yawned while speaking, and Xiaofu immediately waited for him to enter the room to rest.

Seeing the emperor enter the room, Zhou Xu sighed in his heart, this Li Sang is so daring to take risks, Tsing Yi will permeate every corner, I don't know what hypnotizing drug was put in the lotus wine, the emperor is so sleepy.Forget it, or the emperor will not give up until dawn.

He left the corridor and went back to his room, locked the door, and eagerly opened the ball of paper hidden in his sleeve.
