Xu Yin left the house and looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the yard.
He picked some of them a few days ago, but these days some have fallen off, and the fragrance has become much weaker.
If you think about it carefully, all flowers with strong fragrance seem to have a short flowering period.
And the same is true for overly strong emotions?
Suddenly there was a laugh from behind, and someone jumped in happily from outside, came to her, and magically took out a bunch of candied haws from behind: "Look, what I bought!"
Xu Yin laughed all of a sudden, and all those sad emotions of spring and autumn were gone.
She took the candied haws and took a lick. It was sweet and exactly the same as Nanyuan's.
Yan Ling took out another bunch and sat on the tree with her to chew.
"By the way, how are you going to go on the day of the Autumn Banquet? Are you going to dress up as my eldest brother's servant?"
"No, Prince Li gave me a separate invitation."
"Hey, he wants to reveal your true identity? Aren't you afraid of something happening?"
"I didn't say anything. I'll go as soon as you give me the invitation. Let's talk about it after I get there..."
…
The autumn banquet has finally arrived.
Early in the morning, the carriages of each family drove out of the mansion one after another. The streets were full of guards and servants. The roads were paved with loess, the streets were splashed with clean water, and the small stalls and hawkers that had supported them in the past were all wiped out.
But these small vendors were not banned, they all went outside the city.
All the passages in the city are for the passage of carriages, and people are not allowed to stop privately. However, except for the main roads outside the city, there is no prohibition.
——The dignitaries want to hold banquets, and the common people also want to have fun!
King Dongjiang has been ill for too long, and the atmosphere in Jiangdu has been dull for most of the year. Today, taking advantage of the autumn banquet, some gardens were specially opened to the people to have fun with the people.
So the people gathered beside the main road, watching the carriages and horses of various houses, and talking loudly.
"That's the Tong family's carriage, who's riding the horse?"
"You don't even know this guy? The Tong family's eldest son! He is the most talented young master in our Jiangdu City."
"The person in the carriage must be Miss Tong? Unfortunately, the curtains are tightly covered, so you can't see anything."
"The Tong family has always been like this. His young lady rarely appears in public."
After saying that, another large and luxurious car came behind, with gauze curtains hanging on both sides, and the figures inside were vaguely visible.
"It's from the Wei family! It must be Miss Wei Fourth! Wow, she really looks like a fairy!"
"Are you talking nonsense? It just passed by like this, and there was a gauze curtain covering it, so you could see it?"
"Although I can't see my appearance clearly, I can still feel my temperament! Anyway, she looks good!"
"There is nothing bad about a noble girl from a noble family."
"Yes, each has his or her own merits."
Having said this, everyone looked at the avenue expectantly.
Where did the Miss Xu family come from? These ladies are all so good-looking. How good-looking do they have to be in order to be said to be stunningly beautiful?
"It's coming, it's coming!" News came out from the other side of the city gate, "The Xu family is here, and the palace's carriage is here to pick them up."
"Wow, it's so grand! What kind of curtain is it hanging? Can you see it?"
Before I got the answer, a magnificent carriage drove slowly over.
Compared with the previous ones, its momentum is completely different. Not only because of the regulations of the carriage, but also because of the surrounding guards.
The soldiers in bright armor at the front cleared the way, and two neat rows of guards surrounded the carriage in the middle, with two young men on horseback beside them.
"Wow!" After seeing the appearance of one of the young men, the crowd exclaimed, "Isn't this so good-looking?"
This young man was about seventeen or eighteen years old. He was dressed in black robes, with a small crown on his head, and his face was simply shining. When he heard the exclaim, he turned around and saw the crowd watching, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and smile, and immediately
It caused even greater commotion, and the sound of things falling was heard one after another.
After a short silence, a girl yelled and threw her handkerchief towards him.
"Sir, look here!"
As a result, the scene suddenly became lively. Handkerchiefs, sachets, fruits... everything that could be thrown was thrown at him.
This scene made the guards not sure how to react.
No matter what, there are too many things thrown, and people will be injured. No matter what, this is also a way to express welcome. As a guest, if I go over to scold you, it seems too ignorant.
In the end, the palace guards came forward to restore order and allowed them to pass safely.
After the carriage passed by, a pile of debris was left behind, and the people were still very excited.
"Is that the son of the Xu family? He looks so good-looking!"
"The one accompanying the Xu family's carriage must be the Xu family's young master! I heard that it was the Xu family's young master who escorted his sister here this time, so he must be the one."
"The young master of the Xu family is so good-looking, so what does the young lady of the Xu family look like?"
"No wonder the two young ladies of the Xu family are known as the twin sisters of the Xu family. They are so ugly because of the looks of the Xu family's young master!"
"That's right, even though I haven't seen the real face, it definitely lives up to its name."
"No wonder the prince fell in love at first sight. If it were me..."
"What are you, you can't even meet me, don't be so shabby. That's the future crown princess that our prince has chosen!"
"That's right, you can't be rude."
During the heated discussion, the title of Crown Princess was decided.
Xu Ze, who heard all kinds of discussions in his ears, thought at first he was talking about himself, but when he turned around, he saw that no one was looking at him. When he looked at Yan Ling next to him, he suddenly became angry.
"You want to go to the banquet, why don't you go alone? Why do you have to come with us?"
Yan Ling stretched out her hand to wipe her sweat and said, "Isn't it convenient to live together? Brother Xu, are you so stingy?"
Just such an action caused another group of people to exclaim, and the shouts became even more enthusiastic.
