at night.

After the family had their reunion dinner, the children started clamoring to go out to the flower market.

Seeing the Regent Prince there, Ye Lanyin was even more reluctant to let the children leave.

She was already restless during lunch today.

She never expected this.

The regent sat down directly for dinner.

She had just escaped the PUA tactics of the Hou family when she fell into another person's PUA tactics.

The regent spent the entire afternoon making empty promises to her.

She even ate it!!!

"Lanyin, with Rui'an with them, you won't get lost. The lanterns and street scenes tonight are especially beautiful."

"This year, an additional sacrificial ceremony has been added."

[A sacrificial ceremony?]

Third Brother, take me away quickly!

Lin Wanwan grabbed Lin Chang'an's clothes and dragged him out with all her might, almost strangling him.

"Sister, sister, wait... wait, you're going to strangle me to death."

Lin Chang'an gripped his sleeve tightly, as if afraid he might accidentally breathe his last.

"Okay, okay, I'll take you there, alright?"

"Let go!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanwan loosened her grip.

He fell backward off Lin Chang'an.

"Waaaaah..."

"Ahhh, help me, Daddy!"

Seeing this, the Regent quickly caught Lin Wanwan as she fell.

The little guy, having survived the ordeal, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately.

Otherwise, even the Emperor of Fengdu would jump out of hell.

"Lanyin, look."

“If Father is here, not only can he protect you, but I will also have power and influence. Apart from the Emperor, Father, and Mother, the Holy Kingdom is the greatest of all.”

"Even if you want the whole world, I will give it to you."

"Pfft~"

Ye Lanyin didn't swallow the water; she spat it out directly from her mouth.

"Your Majesty, what use is this world to me?" She looked at the Regent with amusement. "You can't say such things casually in the future. If people find out, I'm afraid I'll be bombarded by all the officials."

The Regent's gaze was gentle.

She has the appearance of a young lady.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Ye Lanyin: ……

After a few words, Ye Lanyin realized that the children had all disappeared.

"Lanyin, look how round the moon is tonight. It must be that the heavens think we are destined to move on the same day and are hinting at something to us."

Mo Qing: ...Your Highness is so good at manipulating me. It's Mid-Autumn Festival today, how could the moon not be full?

He strongly suspected that the prince's move here was also premeditated...

The burning of the imperial study must have been done by the prince's men secretly sent there. He'll have to go and ask them about it later.

Ye Lanyin smiled slightly, pursing her lips.

See through it but don't say it.

...

"Yao Qianshu, wait for me."

Lin Chang'an chased after Yao Qianshu, running continuously into the crowd ahead.

Lin Rui'an carried Lin Wanwan and followed behind, while Mo Feng followed closely in the shadows.

Oh my god!

If these children really acknowledge the prince as their father...

Will he and Mo Qing have time to get married?

"Wow, look at these lanterns, they're so beautiful!"

Lin Chang'an picked up a tiger head mask and put it on his face.

Seeing this, Yao Qianshu took a dog head mask and put it on.

"Waaah, waaah..." He spread his five fingers and reached out to grab Lin Chang'an.

Lin Chang'an laughed and grabbed his hand, "You really are like a little puppy!"

"ah."

Suddenly, a woman was accidentally bumped into.

Lin Chang'an quickly apologized, "I'm so sorry, young lady, I didn't mean to..."

"It's you?" the two exclaimed in unison.

Sun Rugo, hands on her hips, said, "Oh, Lin Chang'an, you weren't following me, were you?"

"Who's following you? There are people everywhere here. I think it's clearly you who's been following me! You little fox! You're definitely just looking for trouble!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Rugo put her hands on her hips and said, "What did you say? Who are you calling a fox?"

"I called you, what's wrong?"

"Ah, Sun Rugo, what are you doing? My ear..."

"Lin Chang'an, do you want to die? Do you even care about my reputation? How dare you call me a vixen?"

Yao Qianshu was so shocked that his jaw dropped.

When did Brother Chang'an and Sister Sun become so close?

Should we just let her bully us?

"Hey? Lin Chang'an, do you still want this mask?" he asked in a loud voice.

"Ah—I want it..."

Lin Chang'an's voice drifted over from afar.

The Money Tree casually took out a few taels of silver and handed them to the vendor, choosing one for Lin Ruian and one for Lin Wanwan.

"Little sister, this rabbit is for you."

"Brother Rui'an, this fox mask is for you."

Lin Rui'an looked at the black fox mask, smiled, and accepted it, "Thank you, Brother Qian Shu."

"Hehe, Brother Rui'an, since you're wearing a mask today and we can't see your face clearly, if there's a girl you like, remember to take a few extra glances. It doesn't matter if you look at a few more, it's not a loss anyway..."

"Tch! Who is this guy?"

A mocking female voice rang out behind Yao Qianshu.

He turned around and saw a chubby little girl standing behind him, licking a candied hawthorn stick nonstop, drooling all over the ground.

"Huh~"

He took a few steps forward with a look of disgust on his face.

"Who are you? You're the one standing behind me who's scared the crap out of me."

"Was it any of your business that I was talking to my brother?"

The little girl shoved the candied hawthorn into her maid's hand and said angrily, "You're speaking so loudly, are you talking to a ghost if not me?"

"I don't think your brother is interested, but you are."
