Xiao Yi's words immediately frightened the people behind him and also frightened the stall owner.
The stall owner fell to his knees with a thump.
He knocked his head on the ground: "Sir, if the common people have offended you in any way, the common people can't apologize to you here."
Pedestrians around the street started talking a lot when they saw this.
"I've only heard of people robbing civilian girls on the street, but I've never seen a wealthy couple forcefully divorce them on the street! Today is really an eye-opener." Some people couldn't stand it anymore.
"It's just, it's inexplicable. Could it be that you have fallen in love with someone else's wife?" Someone gossiped.
"This is Kyoto. Is there any royal law left under the emperor's feet?" Someone was filled with indignation.
"The King's Law?" Xiao Yi lowered his eyes and sneered, "Are you talking to me about the King's Law?"
He sat upright on the horse, glanced around the crowd coldly, and said softly: "Then from today on, there will be an additional clause in the law. Under the light of day, in public places, couples should behave intimately. , according to the crime of being offensive to morals, he will be divorced immediately."
"No!"
"Your Majesty, absolutely not!"
Du You and Yuan Meian were both shocked. They both jumped down from the carriage and knelt on the ground, begging Xiao Yi to think again. The law is an important weapon of the country, how can it be such a child's play!
Xiao Yi didn't even bother to raise his eyelids, and said directly: "Commander, escort him and his wife to Jingzhao Mansion. Come back with the letter of reconciliation. If the two of them are unwilling to reconcile, come and see them."
After saying that, Xiao Yi clamped his horse's belly, held the reins in his hand, and walked forward slowly.
The originally noisy Tianjie suddenly became silent, and no one dared to comment anymore. After Xiao Yi passed by, pedestrians on the street automatically gave way to a path like a tide, and everyone bent over and knelt on both sides.
This person turned out to be Emperor Yuan Jing!
The couple followed Du Yang with sad faces.
Qu Moran sighed softly, and he waved his chief follower Chen Tao to come over and whispered a few words to him. Then Chen Tao chased Du Yang.
Du You and Yuan Meian were still kneeling on the ground, looking at Xiao Yi's retreating back with worried expressions in their eyes. Their Majesty's behavior is becoming more and more weird and perverse.
Qu Moran stepped forward and said softly: "You two adults, don't worry too much. Your Majesty only said that people should make peace with each other, but he didn't say that they are not allowed to get back together."
"Then why did His Majesty do this?" Du You couldn't understand.
"Perhaps, he just doesn't want to see others being affectionate in front of him." Qu Moran smiled lightly and rode away.
What is the logic? Du You and Yuan Meian looked at each other with blank expressions on their faces.
Qu Moran just caught a glimpse of faint bloodshot eyes in Xiao Yi's eyes. He knew that Xiao Yi was really stimulated. I feel sorry for the grocery store couple who suffered this unreasonable disaster for no reason.
The incident in Tianjie didn't seem to dampen Xiao Yi's interest in traveling. He rode straight to Qingyu Lake and whipped his whip.
At this time in Qingyu Lake, the sky is clear, the air is clear, and the wind is gentle and gentle. Weeping willows are green by the lake, and their long branches are fluttering in the wind. Various birds fly between the trees, flying back and forth, especially agile.
The sun shines on the lake, and the golden light is dotted, like thousands of stars falling into the world, and a few small boats are leisurely swinging in the water waves. It is indeed a beautiful picture of late spring that is difficult to describe with a brush.
The shore of the lake is full of people enjoying the scenery. The women are well-dressed, with buns on their heads and hairpins on their temples. The men are all riding horses and wearing light shirts and small hats. They are also very handsome. Everyone walked together in twos and threes, and laughter and laughter could be heard from time to time.
Xiao Yi rode his horse and walked around and around the lakeshore alone, and finally stopped next to a willow tree. He sat on the horse, looking motionless into the lake, his figure as straight as a sculpture.
The lake was now dotted with many small boats traveling around the lake.
Everyone who was traveling with Xiao Yi didn't know what he was going to do. He stood still, and everyone had to stand there together.
This stop lasted half an hour.
"Your Majesty, do you want to go boating?" Qu Moran asked as he drove his horse forward.
Xiao Yi glanced sideways at Qu Moran, nodded, and then shook his head.
"I'm waiting for someone to invite me."
Hearing this, everyone behind Xiao Yi looked at each other. Qu Moran was shocked. He keenly noticed that Xiao Yi said "I" instead of the usual "I". He silently glanced at Xiao Yi and saw that the other person's eyes were getting redder.
There is a tradition of men and women dating each other during the Spring Festival. On this day, unmarried men and women who like each other can invite each other to go to the lake together. But, that is between an unmarried man and a woman! Those invited to the Spring Festival are all young girls and boys aged fifteen or sixteen.
Although Xiao Yi has outstanding appearance, at his age, he looks like he is going to be a father. How can any woman come to invite him? Furthermore, he carries the majesty of a powerful man. Even though he is wearing casual clothes, he still possesses a lot of power. How can any woman dare to invite him?
Yuan Meian kept winking at Du You, how about your rites department arrange for someone to come? It's better than everyone standing here.
Seeing this, Jiang Ning quickly shook her head at the two adults and made a "no" gesture. If we really arrange such an event, I'm afraid something big will happen.
Jiang Ning vaguely remembered that the first time Shen Zhuo and Xiao Yi met was at Qingyu Lake. Later, when the two quarreled, they mentioned that Shen Zhuo forced Xiao Yi to swim in the lake for a whole day.
It wasn't until the sky was getting late and the last boat in Qingyu Lake came ashore that Xiao Yi retracted his gaze. He looked down at himself, frowned, and murmured:
"Is it because the clothes are the wrong color?"
Immediately afterwards, he turned to Du You, the Minister of Rites, and said:
"From now on, all my clothes will be changed to blue, including dragon robes and regular clothes. You can go back and draw up a charter, and the Ministry of Rites and the Internal Affairs will take care of this matter."
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, it has been decided that all imperial clothing should be mainly black, with gold or red decorations. All the emperor's expenses for food, clothing, housing and transportation were inherited from the ancestral system. Changing the color of the emperor's clothing is not just as simple as changing the color.
Du You really felt that it was not good to travel today, as all kinds of unexpected things happened frequently.
"His Majesty......"
Just as Du You was about to open his mouth to persuade, his sleeves were pulled twice. He took a peek and saw that it was Jiang Ning. The latter made a silent look, and Du You also faintly noticed that Xiao Yi seemed to be wrong today, so he promptly changed his words: "I obey the order."
Xiao Yi nodded with satisfaction, raised his head, and rode away.
Du You looked at Xiao Yi's back and felt that it was very inconsistent.
His eyes were full of questions: "Eunuch Jiang..."
Jiang Ning shook her head and interrupted Du You's question without saying a word. He urged his horse and chased in the direction of Xiao Yi.
Du You turned to Qu Moran again: "Master Qu Marquis, Your Majesty, he..."
The Minister of Rites still hadn't finished what he said, so Qu Moran cut him off and said, "Just do what your Majesty asks, and don't speculate on the holy will easily." After that, he left as soon as possible.
Yuan Meian came over and patted Du You on the shoulder: "Master Du, didn't you notice that there is blood in His Majesty's eyes?"
Du You said angrily: "How can you look directly at the holy face!"
Yuan Meian choked, shook his head and left.
It was night, and the leakage was deeper and deeper. It was past the fourth watch, and Xiao Yi was still not sleepy.
"Why didn't she come today?" Xiao Yi stood in front of the window, looking at the sycamore tree in the yard and talking to himself.
Jiang Ning huddled in the shadow of the corner like a quail, breathing very slowly for fear of disturbing Xiao Yi.
Under the moonlight, he saw Xiao Yi's eyes were blood red, like a demon, without any clarity.
