After tasting the novel mooncake, the King of Chu gave out more rewards.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also specially sent Prince Yi a lot of good wine for viewing the moon, and the Crown Princess also gave Shen Shuyi a piece of jewelry and asked her to go to view the flowers together when she was free.

On the Mid-Autumn Festival, the palace was much more lively than usual.

Because in the past, everyone had things to do and didn’t stay together every day.

Zhuang Mei and Shen Liang were tending to the medicinal and vegetable gardens in the villa. They had spent most of their lives farming in Lihua Village. After coming to the capital, they could not rest and just thought about planting vegetables and farming. Shen Shuyi let them do whatever they wanted, whether they wanted to go to the restaurant to drink tea and listen to music, or go to the fields to farm, as long as they were happy.

Shen Shushan and Shen Shulan are both talented and smart, and have now enrolled in the Imperial College.

Chu Yi was summoned by the emperor to join the army for training, which was like the chairman's son doing an internship at the company, hoping to be appointed as a general in the future.

Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, and everyone comes back to gather together to eat moon cakes and admire the moon.

Chen Shuyi is not very interested in eating mooncakes, he just wants the family to get together and have a meal.

She prefers to go out to the streets to play, especially the Mid-Autumn Night in Beijing which is much more lively than other places.

On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival in Beijing, the streets are bustling with people watching plays, visiting lantern festivals, guessing riddles, and going to temple fairs.

As soon as it was night, Shen Shuyi took Chu Yi's arm and went to the street, while Chu Yi held his son's hand.

She saw someone selling masks on the street, pointed at the stall and said, "Husband, let's go check out the masks!"

"Okay." Chu Yi is tall and has been training in the army for a while. His aura is even more powerful, and passers-by don't dare to get too close to him.

Shen Shuyi picked up a little tiger mask and gestured on He Ting's face, "Ting'er, do you like it?"

"Ah~" The cute Chu Heting imitated the roar of a tiger, and Nunuo said, "I like it~"

"Then buy it for Ting'er!" Chen Shuyi squatted down and put the mask on He Ting.

As soon as she stood up, Chu Yi picked up a red fox mask and held it in front of her, "Yiyi, this one looks good too."

The mask even covered her nose, leaving only a pair of beautiful eyes exposed.

Chu Yi suddenly didn't want to continue visiting the Lantern Festival. He just wanted to take his beautiful wife home and didn't want the men passing by to look at her intentionally or unintentionally...

Shen Shuyi also chose a mask for Chu Yi, it was a white wolf, very majestic.

There are many people at the lantern festival, especially at the place where people guess lantern riddles.

Chu Yi picked up his son with one hand, holding him in his arms, and held Shen Shuyi’s little hand tightly with the other hand.

The man's hands were very warm, and Shen Shuyi felt that the night breeze was not that cold.

"Girl, would you like a lotus lantern? You can make a wish with it, and it sells very well." The stall owner invited the customer enthusiastically.

"Only ten cents!"

Chu Yi went forward and bought two lamps, one for his wife and one for his son.

When Shen Shuyi went to release the river lantern, he teased him, “Why don’t you buy one for yourself too, you can make a wish with it.”

"My wish has come true, and I have no regrets in this life." Chu Yi's inner wish is to be with his wife and children in peace. He doesn't dare to ask for too much, and he doesn't need anything else.

"There are candied haws for sale over there, do you want to try some?"

Before Shen Shuyi could speak, Chu Heting raised his head and looked at his father, “Dad, why don’t you ask Ting’er?”

Chu Yi blushed, fortunately the mask blocked it.

How could he tell his son that it was ingrained in him to always put the book's meaning first, even though his son was not even born at that time.

Shen Shuyi smiled and helped him out, “Because your father thinks mother is greedy!”

"Ting'er, can you be greedy too~"

"Sure, here you go." Chu Yi bought two strings of candied haws, one for his wife and one for his son.

Chu Heting handed the candied haws to his father, "Daddy, eat first~"

Chu Yi smiled, took a bite of a candied haws, and felt his heart soften.

The night wind was a little chilly, and Shen Shuyi asked He Ting, "Ting'er, do you still want to go shopping?"

"No, let's go home!" Chu Heting felt that his father was having a hard time. There were too many people around him, and he still had to hold himself and protect his mother.

Chu Yi held Shen Shuyi’s hand tightly, “Let’s go.”

Even though he was a prince, his palms were still very rough and his fingertips had calluses, but Shen Shuyi didn't feel any discomfort. Instead, she felt his hands were very warm. She liked Chu Yi holding her hand.

Behind him were the noisy lights. Chu Yi held his wife's hand and walked back steadily while holding his son in his arms.

…

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor's birthday would soon arrive. Chu Yi didn't know what birthday gift to give, but considering how much the emperor loved him, he would be very happy even if he gave him a bowl of longevity noodles made by himself.

Shen Shuyi offered a suggestion, "Husband, why not take this opportunity to present the method of making white sugar to His Majesty. In addition, I also have a method of making explosives."

"Sugar can be stored for a long time and can provide energy to soldiers. Moreover, sugar water can disinfect wounds and relieve infection. It is an extremely important war preparation material."

"As for the explosives, they are the bombs we modified from fireworks last time. Once produced, they are extremely advantageous weapons on the battlefield."

Chu Yi nodded, feeling excited. After he joined the army, he felt the danger of war more deeply. If their army became stronger, they could reduce casualties as much as possible...

He held Shen Shuyi’s hand, “Shuyi, how come you know everything, are you a fairy from heaven?”

Will she ride on the wind and fly away one day?

"Nonsense!" Shen Shuyi picked up the pen, and Chu Yi helped her grind the ink. The two wrote down the recipes for making sugar and explosives in detail and sealed them.

On the emperor's birthday, the scene was particularly grand. Chu Yi presented two birthday gifts, one was a prescription given by Shen Shuyi, and the other was a wooden sculpture he gave, which was a carving of the emperor's beloved horse.
