The third incarnation evolved successfully, Peng Yu's practice became more complete, and the charm of his renunciation became stronger and stronger.

But now everything is on track and he doesn't need to worry about it.

He simply took advantage of the Halloween party to have fun and play.

…

"One month is about art, February is about making weapons, March is about tailoring, April is about literary tests, and May is about martial arts..."

In the Wenhua Hall, Zhuan Yun and Zhao Li sat together and checked the competition items of the Halloween party.

Zhao Li: "Should we check the ingredients we are going to use again on the 15th? Don't be careless about what the God-Kings eat."

"We have already sent people. But King Gu's people took over earlier, so you don't need to worry about me."

The Halloween competition will arrange similar events within one month. For example, the literary test in April, poetry and song competitions, etc. are all arranged within this month. The martial arts competition in May includes boxing, sword fighting, and marksmanship.

, riding skills, etc.

But one type of competition is different and spans the whole year.

That's cooking.

Sacrifice to gods with food is a very important ritual. Therefore, the cooking competition is divided into twelve events, once a month. The themes are preserved meat, spring vegetables, flower food, river fresh food, Chensheng, seafood, mountain delicacies, autumn fruits, etc.

wait.

January Preserved Pork, with the theme of food stored in the winter, the magic chef made a twelve-course banquet on his own.

For the God Kings, this is the game Meng Chun is most looking forward to in January.

"Are you ready?"

Peng Yu came back from a stroll outside.

Zhao Li and Zhuan Yun continued to check the schedule for the next few days without raising their heads.

Seeing that the two of them were silent, Peng Yu felt bored and went to the table to talk to them and took out two things.

"I just found it from the conference and gave it to you two."

January 11th is also called "Bamboo Day" in Dakun. Several competitions held are all made of bamboo.

What was given to Zhao Li was a small bamboo fan. What was given to Zhuan Yun was a high-relief bamboo tube.

Both handicrafts are made by today's top masters. The bamboo fan can fan the three yin and six yang winds. The bamboo tube can warm and nourish wood spirits.

Zhuan Yun accepted it casually. Anyway, he and Peng Yu had given each other many gifts, so this one was enough.

But Zhao Li looked at the bamboo fan with hesitation.

"What, you don't like it? Then go to my palace and take a look, see what you like, and take whatever you want."

"Cousin. Yesterday I went to Wanfu Pavilion to meet the Queen of Heaven. She..."

Zhao Li hesitated: "She hopes that you will come with me to watch the lanterns during the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."

Peng Yu looked stunned and fell silent.

Zhao Li felt uneasy. He naturally knew the Queen's plan. This was the Queen's intention to bring the two of them together, but how could it be possible for them?

"I have an appointment that day. I'll find a chance to have tea with you later. I'll explain this to my grandmother."

"Have an appointment?" Zhao Li's eyes flashed with enthusiasm.

If my cousin wants to marry the princess quickly, then I don't need to get involved.

"Don't think about it, it's Zhuan Yang. We made an appointment, and he will take me to play at the lantern festival. After all, I haven't really played in the city since I returned to Jinwu City."

Zhuan Yun: "That's right. Didn't I take you around? Two days ago, we went to the underground city for a walk."

"Huh, you?"

Peng Yu shook his head disdainfully.

The two of them walked around Jinwu City together, mostly on official business. They went to the underground city two days ago to survey the construction results of the underground city.

Since the Halloween party was held, the underground city has taken advantage of it, and several competitions have been held underground. Therefore, the flow of people has increased. The entertainment facilities in the underground city took the opportunity to promote and made a lot of money. This has completely freed the people from the slums.

Shadows of the past.

This is the credit of Peng Yu and Zhuan Yun.

"I have never seen the lantern show at Jinwu Castle. I was also delayed at the Zhaoyuan Hall on the 15th of last year."

Last year, the Tiangong Palace was banned as usual, and he couldn't go out at night. But this year was different. At this year's Halloween Conference, the God Emperor rarely spoke, and King Xu Zhao went out to spend the night.

"Going out for the night?" Zhuan Yun was startled, "Where does Your Majesty want you to stay? Zhao Mansion?"

"How is that possible? Zhao Li is in charge of the Zhao Mansion right now. I want to live here. I really can't explain."

Peng Yu glanced at Zhuan Yun and said, "I originally planned to live at your place, but you are getting married now, so how can I just go there? My father gave me a mansion outside the palace. I can stay there when I am fifteen.

.The premise is that I can only go out to play after having a dinner in the palace."

Your Majesty is very strict.

Listening to his cousin's story, Zhao Li was filled with emotion. His aunt ignored his son, but his uncle worked very hard. Being both a father and a mother over the years has been too hard.

"Cousin, you will be getting married later. Remember to show your respect to His Majesty."

Suddenly, he said something.

"Um?"

Peng Yu was confused, looked at Zhao Li, and then talked to Zhuan Yun: "Are you busy on the Lantern Festival?"

"If you have something to do, stay with your wife. After all, you are getting married soon." Zhuan Yun guessed Peng Yu's plan, which was to find someone to help them and carry things. He was not that free.

"You two can go play by yourselves."

Zhuan Yun was too lazy to get involved, and Zhao Li wanted to avoid suspicion. Peng Yu thought about it and sighed: "It's a pity that Xian'er is not here."

If they are in Simu Palace, during the Lantern Festival, the three of them can secretly run to Hualian Paradise to play.

And now...

"Forget it, just two people. By the way, you plan your itinerary. After the cooking competition is over, I will go into the palace for the banquet, and then come out quickly. I made an appointment with Zhuan Yang to meet in the square at the 2nd quarter of the year.

"

After saying that, Peng Yu ran back to Zhaoyuan Hall humming a song.

"How dare you come here just to let us adjust the schedule?" Zhuan Yun shook his head, "This guy is becoming more and more rude when calling people."

Suddenly, he saw Zhao Li's strange eyes.

"What? Why are you looking at me like this?"

"I remember that Mr. Ni seemed to have returned to the villa to accompany Master, and was not in Jinwu City during the Lantern Festival."

"I'm not here, but I don't plan on messing around with this guy. Wouldn't it be better for me to drink and admire the moon by myself?"

He has an appointment with Zhao Feiyan.

Therefore, Peng Yu's invitation was rejected directly.

…

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there will be a lantern festival, a guessing party, and a cooking competition.

Peng Yu walked through the scene and hurried back to the palace for the banquet in the afternoon. Accompanying the Queen of Heaven, the Emperor drank two glasses of wine and then came to Zhuguang Square in high spirits.

After waiting for a long time, Zhuan Yang didn't come.

"Look at the time, it's half past Unity hour, but less than two quarters. Wait a minute?"

Peng Yu casually took out two snacks and sat on the top of a large pillar to wait for others.

but……

I was so unhappy. I had been excitedly preparing for several days and planned to have fun with my friends before I escaped, but that guy was actually late?

…

Zhuan Yun had something to discuss with Zhao Feiyan today. When he was heading to the secret meeting place, he thought of something and unconsciously took a detour from Zhuguang Square.

From a distance, I saw Peng Yu standing there alone, his face darkened.

Zhuan Yun lowered his head and looked at the time: "Is it the third quarter of Youzheng? That boy from Zhuanyang hasn't come yet? Does he not want to live anymore?"

He understands Peng Yu's character and dares to break his promise, but he can wait for revenge in the future.

After thinking about it, Zhuan Yun walked over to say hello while communicating with Zhuan Yang.

Seeing Zhuan Yun, Peng Yu said with a gloomy face: "Why, your brother didn't come, so I asked you to come and accompany me? It's also the Lantern Festival. Isn't there a banquet at Yunyang Hou Mansion?"

"It's not like you don't know the character of that boy. Even if something big happens, he will not go back on the promise he made earlier. Your Highness, wait a moment, he will be here soon."

After comforting him with kind words, Zhuan Yun threw up his sleeves and left on the pretext of accompanying his fiancée.

By the time of Xu's quarter, Zhuanyang was still nowhere to be seen, but the lantern festival in Jinwu City had already begun. Bright lanterns hung all over the Guangsha, and one shining advertisement after another was displayed.

"Hmph - in a moment...he is dead, no one can plead for mercy."
