Funing Hall

On August [-]th, the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the city opened a lantern festival again.

Not only that, Zhao Cong also temporarily opened half of the Jinming Pond for everyone to go in to enjoy the moon, watch the lanterns, and put the lanterns on.There are many pools of water in Jinming Pool, which is just for people to put lanterns by the pool water.

Zhao Cong, Zhao Shiqi and others came out of Donghua Gate and walked out along Yujie Street. There were lanterns and small stalls on both sides, but it was different from the Shangyuan Festival.The Shangyuan Festival is still snowing, but at this time the city is full of sweet-scented osmanthus. Although the autumn night is getting colder, it is not completely cool. Children can run around with confidence, and even young ladies can dress better. For slim.

They walked side by side and did not ride horses. Along the way, they saw many people worshiping and paying tribute to the moon, and Zhao Cong watched it with great interest.From time to time, children bumped into him, and he smiled without getting angry, and even supported them, telling them to be careful.Zhao Shiqi knew that he liked to watch these the most, even though he was very unhappy to see him being bumped from time to time, he couldn't hold back his attack.

Walking to the end of Yujie Street, there are sweet-scented osmanthus cakes for sale, which are extremely fragrant.

Zhao Cong looked at the stall, and without further ado, Zhao Shiqi went up to buy it immediately. There were quite a lot of people, and there was still a queue.Rantao stepped forward, wanting to row for him, but was persuaded by Zhao Shiqi to come back.Rantao laughed softly, "Your Majesty, Mr. Lang wants to row by himself."

Zhao Cong laughed and said, "He is young, let him row."

Rantao and the others laughed out loud, and when Zhao Shiqian heard them laughing, he couldn't help turning his head. Seeing Zhao Cong smiling happily, he also laughed, which made Rantao and the others find it funny.

The scene became more and more funny. Fortunately, Zhao Shiqi came back with a cake in his hands after queuing for a while. He handed it to Zhao Cong: "It is steamed in a bamboo tube. It has the fragrance of bamboo and sweet-scented osmanthus."

Rantao said, "It's steamed in a bamboo tube, it's so delicious!"

"Try Zongbao." Zhao Shiqi couldn't call him "Your Majesty" when he was outside, so he happened to fulfill his wish and called him by his favorite name. Zhao Shiqi picked out the cake from the bamboo tube and handed it to Zhao Cong's mouth.

Ran Tao and the others smiled and covered their mouths to avoid their eyes. Zhao Cong was used to it, and without blushing, he directly ate the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that Zhao Shiqi handed to his mouth, and said in surprise, "It's delicious."

"Really?" Zhao Shiqi knew that Zhao Cong didn't value appetite, and it was rare to see him like this.

"Taste it quickly." Zhao Cong pushed him, Zhao Shiqi didn't say anything, and immediately took another bite at the place where Zhao Cong had bitten, it was indeed very delicious, he nodded.

"Buy some more and give them to Ningning later." Zhao Cong didn't forget his sister.

Zhao Shiqi nodded, turned around and was about to buy it, but was stopped by Zhao Cong: "Tell Fu Lu to buy it, let's eat cakes."

After finishing speaking, he pulled Zhao Shiqi to a corner where there were few people, and stretched out his hand: "Give me the cake."

Zhao Shiqi was amused in his heart, and said with a smile: "It's very hot, should I break it to cool it?"

Zhao Cong nodded, Zhao Shiqi took the handkerchief from Rantao, wiped his hands, and broke open the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, which contained fried sesame and soft sugar stuffing, which became even sweeter after being broken.He handed the cake to Zhao Cong, Zhao Cong ate it into his mouth unceremoniously, nodded, and praised for the second time: "It's delicious."

Zhao Shiqi blew on the other piece in his hand, and brought it to his mouth: "It's cold, you can eat it."

Zhao Cong ate it in his mouth, Zhao Shiqi continued to blow and feed him, Zhao Cong ate for a while and said: "You eat too."

"Okay." Zhao Shiqi smiled and took a bite himself.

Rantao watched from the sidelines, happy for them, but also a little embarrassed to look more, so he simply walked away a few steps, smiling and guarding with the other guards.

The two of them shared cakes and wore ordinary clothes, standing in a corner, not afraid of being recognized.

But someone really recognized the two of them, or recognized Zhao Shiqi.Yi Yu often walks around Yujie, just to meet Zhao Shiqi by chance.These days, she hasn't seen Zhao Shiqi for a long time, and today is just a chance, she walks around this area again, and she is also lucky to be seen by her.

Zhao Cong turned his back to her, and he was still wearing a cloak, so Yi Yu couldn't tell who he was.

It's just that Zhao Cong is too tall, taller than Zhao Cong by a head, whoever stands next to Zhao Shiqu is a bit short, not to mention that Zhao Cong's body is a bit thin, so he needs a cloak in early autumn.Yi Yu stayed a little far away, thinking that the person with her back turned was a little lady.She felt a little uncomfortable, especially even if Zhao Shiqi was far away, his movements could not deceive anyone, carefully blowing the cake, and then feeding it into the other party's mouth, such a treasure... She looked at it and lowered her head.

"Third lady?" Her maid was puzzled.

Although Yi Yu loves Zhao Shiqi, even though she would rather be a concubine, it's just a girl's mind. Seeing her sweetheart with other women, she feels very uncomfortable, and she doesn't want to go up to disturb her. Then it fell down.

"What's wrong with you, third lady..." Her envoy was terrified.

Yi Yu cried and shook his head, quickened his pace and walked forward.

Her maid was at a loss what to do, she winked at another servant who came out and told him to go find their lord.The boy went to find Yi Yu without saying a word.

Yi Yu was drinking tea with his friends in other places, and when he heard that his sister was crying, even though he felt depressed, he rushed over immediately, dragged Yi Yu into an empty alley, and asked anxiously, "Why are you crying so well?"

Yi Yu sobbed and covered his face with a handkerchief.

"Tell me." Yi Yu said to her envoy.

"My maid, I don't know..."

"You don't know? You don't know and you still serve the third lady?!"

Yi Yu cried and took off the veil, and said to Yi Yu, "Brother, it's none of her business. It's my own business."

"What's the matter? You tell brother, no matter what it is, brother will help you solve it."

Yi Yu cried and said, "Brother, Eleven Lord has a sweetheart."

Yi Yu was taken aback, and asked back, "How do you know?"

"I just saw Eleven Lord feeding that little lady cake, and the two of them were standing next to each other, they matched very well."

Yi Yu was silent for a moment, and persuaded: "It's okay, brother will find a way and let you marry him."

Yi Yu shook his head, still crying and said, "No, Lord Eleven has someone he likes, how can I intervene in it? He will hate me so much."

Yi Yu was helpless, how could he have such a girl.

Since I like it, I must hold it in my hand, no matter what method I use.

Yi Yu asked the guards to take his sister home, and walked down the street by himself.

He asked clearly where his sister bumped into Zhao Shiqi, and was about to go there, but accidentally ran into Princess Baoning on the street.

Although Princess Baoning is a celebrity, not everyone has the face to see her, so when she walks on the street, although everyone sees her beauty and gorgeous clothes, no one knows that she is the famous Princess Baoning .She was not alone, and there was a young lady by her side, Yi Yu didn't know her, but seeing how intimate she was with Princess Baoning, one could guess that she might be Princess Le'an.

Thoughts that had been dispelled once again popped up in my heart, should I take that step?

He hesitated, standing behind the lamp stand, watching them leisurely looking at the lamp.

until--

A carriage stopped behind them, Princess Baoning turned her head, and a female envoy got off the carriage.Yi Yu's eyebrows twitched, isn't this Qian Shufei's personal palace lady Piaoshu?He saw it in the palace.

He looked into the carriage again, is Concubine Qian Shu in it?

Princess Baoning and Piao Shu didn't know what to say, they turned their heads and got on the carriage, and within a quarter of an hour, she got down from the carriage again, with a bit of unhappiness on her face for some reason.Princess Baoning, who was unhappy, took the hand of County Lord Le'an and strode away quickly.

Yi Yu rolled his eyes and followed them along the street.

Inside the carriage, Qian Yuemo was a little dazed.

She sewed some purses for the princess, but the princess thought she was troublesome?

Her eyes were red and she was about to cry.Piao Shu hurriedly persuaded: "Lady, don't cry, we will meet up with His Majesty later. Your Majesty saw you crying, what should we do?"

But how can I not cry?

Qian Yuemo buried her head in Piaoshu's arms and burst into tears.

Piao Shu repeatedly persuaded her: "Lady, the servant girl didn't dare to say it earlier. In fact, you don't have to please the princess. His Majesty always respects you, so why should you..."

Qian Yuemo didn't listen at all.Piaoshu doesn't understand, nobody understands, sometimes even she herself doesn't understand why.

"Have a good full moon night, my lady, don't cry anymore." Piao Shu wiped her tears distressedly, and continued to persuade her.

Qian Yuemo covered her eyes with a handkerchief, she lost her posture, and fell on Piaoshu, extremely silent.

They were silent here, but Zhao Cong and Zhao Shiqi were very happy walking along the way.

For an emperor, nothing can make him happier than seeing the joy of the people.

After they were tired from walking, they got into the carriage. Fulu drove the carriage and took them around the east and west streets. Rantao thought that he could go back to the palace by buying a lamp.

Zhao Cong suddenly said, "Shall we go to Jinming Lake?"

Jinming Pond is located on the outskirts of the city, today is a special situation, and the gates of the city are not closed, so that the common people can enjoy it more.

Zhao Cong had no intention of going to Jinmingchi, but he just got interested and suddenly didn't want to go back like this.Rantao was a little hesitant because of safety considerations, and wanted to persuade him again.

Zhao Cong has made a final decision: "Go."

Rantao looked at Zhao Shiqi begging for help, expecting him to persuade him.

Zhao Shiqi was lucky, he smiled and opened the curtain of the car, and said to Fulu, "Go to Jinmingchi."

Rantao sighed, fortunately there were many guards accompanying the car, so it would not be too unsafe.Before Zhao Cong left, he did not forget to send people to find Princess Baoning and Concubine Qian Shu, and asked them if they wanted to go, and if they wanted to go, they hurriedly followed.

The road traveled quickly, and within an hour, they arrived outside the Jinming Pond.

Although it is on the outskirts of the city, Jinming Pond is brightly lit, and it seems to be more lively than the city.Zhao Cong was carried down from the car by Zhao Shiqi, and he looked inside before he could stand still, and saw all kinds of lanterns on the water from a distance.All kinds of lanterns are hung on the bridgehead and on the trees.

Zhao Cong smiled: "This is the Moon Palace!" After he finished speaking, he strode into it.

Zhao Shiqi cheerfully stood by his side, fearing that someone would bump into him, so he went in with him.

Rantao and Fulu looked at each other, sighed helplessly, it was useless to expect their lord to persuade His Majesty, the two of them actually messed up together!

But such days are rare.

The curtain of autumn has come to a smooth end, and it is the full moon festival, and it will be His Majesty's birthday in a few days, let's indulge!
