Chapter 287 The Princess Again

"Slow down! Slow down! Oh my God, please don't let the young master fall." Ruirui's mother shouted and chased forward, but she was still holding Ruirui in her hand, and could not catch up with Xiaoru who was holding the golden ball.

In the blink of an eye, the man had run to the bridge of lights, raised the golden ball high, and let the chubby little hand grab the tassel of the rabbit lantern hanging on it.

Jintuan's eyes sparkled and he giggled.

Except for Ruirui's mother, who was anxious, Su Rui, Yun Ji and even Luo E were not anxious.

At this moment, if one is not tired of living, he would never dare to have any ideas about the two little ones, not to mention that Zhuiyue and others are watching them secretly all the time.

Today is a rare day for the whole family to go out for the Lantern Festival. If we are too concerned and nervous, we will lose the fun.

Jin Tuan likes to be lively, and Xiaoru is the most suitable person to take him to have fun.

Yin Tuan didn't like the hustle and bustle, so he was held in the arms of the steady Luo E.

But even if he is serious in his daily life, he is still a baby after all, and he will still be fascinated by the colorful lanterns.

Especially when passing by a shop selling little rabbit lanterns, a pair of round eyes would stare at it.

The mother and child were almost three months old, and Su Rui still understood his little thoughts. She took out a copper coin and bought two, one for Jin Tuan to hold in his hand, and the other was put into Yin Tuan's little hand.

Her face still had that sad look on it, but her little hands clenched tightly, and she couldn't help but stare at the little rabbit lanterns.

"It's so weird, it's exactly like you, Your Highness." Su Rui couldn't help but say, the older it gets, the more similar it is, it's amazing.

"Nonsense, I don't like the little rabbit lanterns." Yun Ji retorted seriously.

Su Rui didn't expect him to say that. She choked a little and leaned closer, pouting unyieldingly, "Indeed, the prince likes me."

She had been teasing him on purpose, but he didn't shy away from saying she was talking nonsense. Instead, he put his arm around her waist before she turned around and said in a low voice, "It's good that you know. Then don't wait tonight?"

Don't wait.

Su Rui's mind went back to that turbulent night. She felt a little sore in her waist and back, and she wanted to give up.

But I heard Yun Ji chuckle in my ear.

Okay, I was just teasing her.

Su Rui glanced at him and said fiercely, "Just wait, I'll rest for a few more days and I'll make you cry for your parents."

Yun Ji did not refute her little self-esteem. He loosened his hand from her waist, held her hand instead, and continued to walk forward with the crowd.

Walk all the way to the Xiang River, which flows in from the moat outside the city and goes out from the other side, running through the entire Shengjing City. People come here to release river lanterns on August 15th, and it is also the most lively place today.

There is still more than a quarter before the time for releasing river lanterns, and everyone who came today has already taken their seats early, holding river lanterns in their hands.

Although Su Rui and Yun Ji arrived late, the two brothers Wufeng and Wuyu had already occupied a seat upstream, bought river lanterns, and Xiaoru was already waiting there with Jintuan.

The two of them were of outstanding appearance and attracted attention as soon as they walked past.

"Where did this immortal come from?" someone exclaimed.

"You've lived in Shengjing City for so many years in vain. That's Prince Yong and his concubine."

"There are two little babies too. They must be the twins born to Concubine Su. They are so cute, like porcelain dolls."

"The father is handsome and the mother is beautiful, so the baby born will naturally be beautiful."

There were more and more voices, but they were all praises and envy, without the previous sarcasm and teasing.

But in just one year, the changes have been astonishing.

But Su Rui had long been accustomed to not listening to those voices, whether they were insults or praises, as long as she knew what she wanted.

After giving the little rabbit lantern to Jin Tuan, Su Rui took the river lantern and was about to turn around and hand it to Tang Yuli who had been walking behind her, but before she could do so, another lantern was handed to her from the side.

He is General Tang.

Suddenly, Tang Yuli was startled, but he quickly calmed down when he saw who was coming. Then his eyes slowly moved down to the river lantern handed to him.

It is a lotus lantern with two pigs, one big and one small, carved out of wood on it.

The zodiac sign of Tang Yuli and General Tang is both pig.

Something flashed in Tang Yuli's eyes. He said nothing but reached out to take it.

Just this one action made General Tang's face turn red with joy, but he restrained himself and did not ask for more.

"Bang!"

There was a loud bang and fireworks exploded overhead, which was the signal for the lights to be set off.

Everyone squatted down, put the river lanterns in their hands into the river, waved their hands to make the water flow, and pushed the lanterns to the center of the river.

The longer and farther the river lanterns float, the more likely the wishes in one's heart will come true.

Although it was just a wish, Su Rui also made a sincere wish that Jintuan and Yintuan could live safely and grow up leisurely.

She remembered that one year her mother took her and Su Ye to release river lanterns in the yard. At that time, Su Rui could not understand her mother's piety, but now that she is a mother, she understands it.

"What is that?"

"River lanterns, but these are too big."

Someone exclaimed and looked upstream.

Su Rui also stood up and turned to look over. Indeed, there was a hibiscus lantern that was twice as big as the boat floating down from above.

The workmanship is excellent, each petal is lifelike, and the stamens are trembling slightly. If it weren't so big, you would think it was a real flower.

As we passed the arch bridge, suddenly, sparks exploded from the hibiscus lanterns, startling us. At the same time, a banner fell down with a line of words written on it - May the Mid-Autumn Moon be full and the country be peaceful and the people be prosperous.

"These are lanterns made by the government, right? They're really good for making wishes."

"How can the government do this? I think it must be someone higher up."

You and I were talking at the same time, trying to figure out who did it.

Some people suspected the government, the Ministry of Rites, and even Empress Lin, but Su Rui noticed a small mark on the lower side of the lantern and whispered to Yun Ji, "Is this lantern Dong Yue's?"

Yun Ji nodded and explained, "The Princess of Dongyue Kingdom sent it a few days ago."

It’s the eldest princess again.

"Dongyue is interested in making friends with Dazhao?"

Yun Ji didn't know yet, but General Tang came over and added, "I came here today to tell Your Highness that we've received news from Mobei that Princess Dongyue will be leaving for Shengjing tomorrow."

Yun Ji was not too surprised by this. Moreover, Mobei was close to Dongyue, and General Tang's confidants were all there, so it was normal for the news to be transmitted smoothly.

It's just that the eldest princess seems a little too anxious.

"Perhaps the princess doesn't want to go to war with Zhao anymore." Su Ruiyuan said this, and the three of them stopped talking about it.

Just looking at the hibiscus lantern, Su Rui felt a little uneasy.

She had never heard of this eldest princess in her previous life, but now she is very famous.

Although it is not ruled out that Dongyue in her previous life was too far away for her to know, and she died early and did not live to this day, so she naturally did not know what happened to Dongyue.

However, considering the sudden death of Crown Prince Dongyue and the huge changes in his previous life, was this eldest princess also involved in the changes?

There was no way of knowing, so Su Rui could only put aside her thoughts for the time being. However, she did not notice that from afar, several pairs of eyes were staring at her.
