"But, today is the Moon Festival." Xiaotuanzi raised his little face, his clear eyes were irreproachable.
"Yes, the Moon Festival is different. We want to have a meal together." Mingruo took Xiaotuanzi's hand and walked to the flower hall.
Aunt Dong and Zicao prepared a lot of dishes. Mingruo was so hungry that her chest pressed against her back, and everything was delicious. Xiaotuanzi still had a special liking for colorful dumplings, and his cheeks were bulging like a little pig when he ate them.
Hamster.
Ming Ruo used serving chopsticks to pick up vegetables for him, and the little dumpling showed two small white teeth to Ming Ruo: "Thank you, concubine."
"Chew well and eat slowly." Mingruo felt that feeding the little hamster was a sense of accomplishment. After all, in her previous life, she had only been fed.
"Ahem." Si Haochen coughed lightly, feeling that he should be fed as well.
Mingruo always thought that Si Haochen was a great god, so naturally he didn't have the guts to feed him. Then he persuaded him in a very puzzled way: "Your Majesty, eat less bacon. Eating too much salt is not good for your health. What's more?"
Cough easily."
"..." Si Haochen chewed the bacon in his mouth. Is this cough caused by eating too much bacon?
"Mother, I want to eat shrimps." Xiaotuanzi looked at the Kung Pao shrimp balls in front of Mingruo eagerly.
Mingruo put two shrimp balls into the bowl of dumplings, and then took one for herself.
"..." Is this king air?
It was already late after lunch, and Mingruo passively accepted the top-notch services from Aunt Dong and Zisu - bathing, changing clothes, applying makeup...
"Mother Dong, can you please stop wearing the mask like last time?" Mingruo thought her neck could still be saved.
"I understand, don't worry, Princess." Mother Dong responded. There are some unwritten rules in the circle of ladies. For example, when attending important banquets, poetry gatherings, flower appreciation parties, clothes and jewelry are not allowed.
It's something I've worn before.
Hearing what Aunt Dong said, Mingruo felt relieved. However, a quarter of an hour later, Mingruo realized that she had let go too early. The jewelry that Aunt Dong wore for her was indeed not the one she wore to Princess Shen's birthday party.
I chose a set of silk-embroidered hairdressing with golden pearls, which was no lighter than the last time.
Xiaotuanzi sat cross-legged on a chair nearby, holding his cheeks with both hands: "Is the palace fun? I've never been there."
"It's not fun at all. If I could choose, I would sleep in the house." Mingruo said matter-of-factly.
"Hey, it's boring to be in the house." Xiaotuanzi sighed.
"Sister Zisu will take you to play with Dabai and Dahong later." Today is the Moon Festival, and it is rare for Xiaotuanzi not to go to school.
"Really? That's great!" Xiao Tuanzi likes the Bamboo Garden very much. There are small animals, small ponds and various fruit trees in it. I don't know how many times more fun it is than other places in the house.
Ming Ruo was dressed up in the imperial attire of the princess, and Si Haochen also changed into the prince's formal attire. The black material was embroidered with a dragon flying in the clouds and riding the mist with gold thread, and the cuffs and hem were embroidered with dragon patterns. On the belt inlaid with purple gems, there was a
Two white jade dragon-shaped jade pendants. Aunt Dong tied Si Haochen's hair and put on a gold crown also inlaid with purple gems.
Mingruo secretly counted the claws of the dragon. Well...fortunately, it was a four-clawed golden dragon. With Si Haochen's style, Mingruo really suspected that he had worn the emperor's dragon robe.
"Let's go." Si Haochen saw that Mingruo was also ready.
"Wait a minute." Mingruo pushed Si Haochen back onto the chair.
Now that Si Haochen's majestic appearance was not enough, Mingruo first painted Si Haochen's face a sallow complexion and arranged the dark circles under his eyes! Finally, he used homemade contouring powder to create slightly sunken cheeks and dull lips.
Mingruo was very satisfied with his 'disfigurement' technique, but felt a little sorry for Si Haochen's great beauty.
After boarding Si Haochen's exclusive car, Mingruo turned to Qin Mo and said, "I need to bring the prince's wheelchair with me."
"Yes." Qin Mo quickly ordered Ah Yi to get the prince's wheelchair.
Mingruo didn't have time for a lunch break today and had an operation in the morning. On the way to the palace, he leaned against the carriage and took a nap. Si Haochen also saw that Mingruo was very tired, so he sat quietly on the side with his eyes closed to rest.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of the palace, and Mingruo took out the veil she had prepared and put it on.
"Why do you need to wear a veil?" Si Haochen was a little confused. Not only was his princess not ugly, but she was also very beautiful.
"I don't want to see anyone in the palace." Mingruo casually found a reason. In fact, the main reason was that she was too lazy to be a girl with a fake smile.
"Then you should cover your eyes." Si Haochen joked.
"What a good idea!" Mingruo thought he was going to enter the inner palace, but he didn't expect that soon a eunuch would bring him a shoulder bag.
Si Haochen got on the shoulder cart first, then stretched out his hand to Mingruo: "Come up."
Mingruo sat next to Si Haochen, and eight powerful eunuchs lifted the shoulder carriage. The curtains were hung low, and the gauze curtains were flying in the evening breeze. The gold and jade tassels surrounding them moved around, and they collided with each other and made a tinkling sound.
The sound. Tonight, the palace is brightly lit. On both sides of the palace road, palace lanterns are hung above and lanterns of various colors made of silk are placed below. It feels like "the lanterns are far away".
Today, there were a lot of people coming and going from the palace. Wherever Si Haochen's carriage passed, no matter what the palace people were doing, they all fell to their knees. To be honest, this scene was quite shocking.
The carriage landed at the door of Qianqiu Palace, and Mingruo got off the carriage first. Qin Mo pushed the wheelchair over, and Mingruo helped Si Haochen sit on the wheelchair.
Qin Mo pushed his wheelchair towards Qianqiu Palace, and Mingruo walked beside Si Haochen's wheelchair: "Why can Mr. Qin enter the palace, but not Ah Yi?"
"Reporting to the princess, my subordinate is a deputy general in the army, which counts as a third-rank official." Qin Mo said nonchalantly. It is not difficult to see that he does not care much about this official position.
Mingruo was very surprised - seeing Qin Mo hanging out with the guards and secret guards every day, she thought he was just the head guard, but she didn't expect that he was a high-ranking official who could attend palace banquets.
There is no distinction between male and female guests at the Yuexi Palace banquet. In the middle is an aisle and a performance stage, with square tables placed on both sides of the aisle.
As soon as they entered the Qianqiu Palace, everyone's eyes fell on Si Haochen. Immediately afterwards, they saw the guests standing up one after another: "See His Royal Highness Prince Yun, thousand years old, thousand years old, thousand years old..."
Mingruo was startled again. The sound and momentum were comparable to Shan Hu Long Live.
Si Haochen raised his hand slightly, and Qin Mo said in a deep voice: "No courtesy."
Everyone stood up with a roar, and then there was another sound of tables and chairs, and everyone sat down again.
I saw the emperor and empress sitting on a high platform, the first table from the left was Prince Yun, and the first table from the right was the prince.
Qin Mo pushed Si Haochen's wheelchair behind the table. Si Haochen cupped his hands and said, "My brother, I have met your Majesty."
Ming Ruo was slightly startled, was Si Haochen's salute to the emperor so perfunctory? But he moved very quickly, and followed Si Haochen only to salute the emperor.
