Chapter 43 Luna Festival

Ni Yiyun saw that Ye Mujin trusted Dragonfly very much. This trust was very blind and dangerous, which made him feel inexplicably uneasy.

But he didn't know what to say to Ye Mujin, because at this time, Ye Mujin would not believe anything he said.

It seems that this trust is engraved in my bones.

Seeing that she was so persistent, he stopped saying anything.

"You sit down first, I have your own judgment on this matter, so don't worry." Ni Yiyun comforted Ye Mujin rarely.

"Okay, don't worry, there are tall people holding their feet when the sky falls, what are you worried about?"

"Yes." Ye Mujin answered obediently.

"It seems to be the Moon God Festival today, let's go out for a walk together." Ni Yiyun gave the order directly, without giving Ye Mujin a chance to refuse.

The two of them sorted out a little, left the mansion, got on the carriage, and walked towards the middle of the street.

The streets were very lively at night, with shouts, hawking, laughter at the ladies' door, and joking from the young men, intertwined with the smell of the food in the hotel, and a prosperous scene.

In the middle of the street, a round platform stood brightly there, wrapped in bright red silk. Many people gathered around the platform, followed by one after another. This is the stage for the campaign for the contemporary "moon god".

This campaign for "Moon God" is held every five years, and once you have to be a good person for five years. He chose the most beautiful, most famous and most blessed person in Kyoto, and all of them are women.

The selected woman was not only respected in Kyoto, but also supported by the people of the world. The "moon god" prayed for the country and benefited the country. During her tenure, she was sent to the emperor to preach the country's policies and assisted officials in helping the people. She was equivalent to the image ambassador of the country.

But almost every "moon god" comes from an official family. When the "moon god" leaves office, she is named princess or queen.

So every day on this day, Kyoto is very lively. During the year of running for the "Moon God", the daughters of the powerful and powerful in Kyoto used all kinds of methods to show their talents and virtues. Being kind to the people is also one of the assessment plans. Therefore, this year is the happiest year for the people in the city.

A few days before the election, the nobles were the busiest time, busy canvassing votes. Whether it was the tickets in the hands of the people or the merchants, other officials had votes.

Among them, the tickets in the hands of merchants are the two votes in the hands of the people, and the ones in the hands of the powerful and nobles are the three votes in the hands of the people. The royal family does not participate. The people who participated in the vote are all virtuous people, including 100 people, 10 merchants, and 4 people in the hands of the powerful and nobles.

The last term "Moon God" was the prime minister's legitimate daughter and has now been named the queen. Only the "Moon God" can be competent. If you want to be the queen, you have to run for the election, and no one is exceptional.

When Ye Mujin and Ni Yiyun arrived, the election had not yet begun. The seats on the left side of the Great Round Altar were all dressed in uniform clothes and noble qualities, and the powerful people with uniform clothes on the right.

People who watch the fun are all on the periphery, and if you want to watch the voting session, you still need tickets.

Ye Mujin and the other paid the tickets and sat in the middle of the round altar to watch the performances of the women who were running for the "Moon God".

The first woman appeared, with a slim figure, black hair shawl, and face covered. The host introduced the good things the woman did and her talent. The following woman performed a program, performing a recitation, with a crisp voice and clear speech, but she may be a little nervous, and one paragraph was not very natural.

The second woman appeared, and she also covered her face with a veil. The host also introduced her good things and achievements, and then it was her turn to perform the show...

The third, fourth... The host, as before, showed the introduction of the good things they had done, followed by the performances of these women, and these performances were beyond Ye Mujin's expectations.

In Ye Mujin's view, most of the daughters of these officials may perform piano, dance, calligraphy, and painting, but the recitations they perform with passionate recitations, wonderful shadow puppets, wonderful words, and profound sketches...

It can be seen that people who don’t have a trick don’t dare to run for the “Moon God”. They are all powerful big shots.

I thought this selection would be boring, but I didn't expect it to be so exciting.

"How is this "moon god" selection?" Ni Yiyun was wearing a white dress and looked at Ye Mujin, who was in a clear improvement in her mood next to her with a smile.

"Yeah, yeah." Ye Mujin nodded constantly to show her approval.

"That's good, you're finally happy." Ni Yiyun muttered in a low voice.

"What did you say, Prince? I didn't hear it clearly." The sounds around were too complicated, overshadowing Ni Yiyun's voice.

"It's nothing, you can watch it well! The highlight is still behind." Ni Yiyun said this mysteriously.

Ye Mujin turned her head to look at him without hesitation.

"Don't look at me, look at the platform." Ni Yiyun knocked Ye Mujin's forehead, not heavy but quite loud.

Ye Mujin rubbed her head and glared at Ni Yiyun in a vague way, afraid that he would find out and quickly turned his head to look at the performance on the stage.

Finally, the last campaigner performed. Before she even appeared, she heard people around her shouting her name, which showed that the campaigner was quite popular.

Only then did Ye Mujin understand what Ni Yiyun said just now meant.

The prelude is still the same. The host introduces the past of this campaigner. The difference is that this campaigner has several more titles than others, such as "the most beautiful lady", "the kindest lady", "the most good lady", and "the best lady to handle things"... etc.

When Ye Mujin heard the host introduce so many titles, she only remembered the few behind her. She turned her head and leaned close to Ni Yiyun and whispered: "Whose lady is this? Why is the voice so loud?"

"This is the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Justice and the Imperial Concubine's Little Sister."

"The background is so strong? She has such a high voice and so many titles. Then the "Moon God" of this generation should be her!" Ye Mujin sighed.

But when Ni Yiyun shook her head, she said in disagreement: "That's not necessarily!"

"Why? This is a popular player, a seed player, why is it not necessarily true?" Ye Mujin was a little confused. She had a big background and was so popular. Why wasn't she the final winner?

Ni Yiyun smiled and signaled Ye Mujin to watch the performance below quietly.

Ye Mujin received his signal and turned her head obediently to look at the performance in front of her, just for the high popularity of the campaigner. She had high expectations for this popular contestant. She was very curious about how surprising this woman with many titles wanted to perform.
