The area around the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is filled with high-ranking officials and dignitaries.
When Xie Laosan walked into this area, stepping on the bluestone slabs and looking at the aristocratic mansions with flying eaves and heavy tiles, he inexplicably became three times braver.
He could only huddle in the corner of the street, eating bread, his eyes rolling around. If he heard the sound of a carriage, he would get up and move to another place.
In the past two days, he was not expelled because of his cleverness.
During the two days he was here, he discovered an interesting thing. Besides him, there was someone else who was watching the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. However, he came later and was able to hide somewhere else, so he did not attract the attention of that person.
This Mid-Autumn Festival, all the dignitaries went to the palace, but Xie Laosan did not notice any young lady getting on the carriage from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
Xie Laosan was a little worried. If the young lady didn't go out, how long would he have to wait here?
But the employer said that I had to hand it over to that person personally, and only then would I get double the reward and have money for his wife's medicine.
Xie Laosan has no other advantages except that he is reliable in his work.
For the sake of money, he would do his employer's work and would not do anything fraudulent.
"Squeak"
When he heard the door being pushed open, Xie Laosan's eyes lit up, and he saw two young ladies and a boy walking out of the mansion's gate.
All three of them are good looking.
Xie Laosan looked at the faces of the three people from afar. When he saw Wan Jinlan, who had almond-shaped eyes and was obviously taller than him, his eyes lit up. The features all matched, so it must be her.
The carriage drove over and Xie Laosan immediately rushed out from the corner.
The coachman Ma Liu quickly stopped the carriage and jumped off the shaft.
Ma Liu was also a strange person. He had been driving a carriage in the mansion for many years, but he had never met anyone who dared to extort money in this alley. This guy was really bold.
He was very careful and the horse didn't even touch the man's finger.
Xie Laosan was wearing coarse cloth and looked relatively neat, but in Ma Liu's eyes, he was a shameless man who wanted to extort money.
"If you don't leave, I'll report you to the police."
Xie Laosan was really not very courageous. When he heard about the police report, his legs went weak.
This is not Yangzhou, but the emperor's territory. This area is inhabited by high-ranking officials and nobles, so how could he dare to make trouble?
He stood up with a tumble, and said with a smug look on his face, "I have a letter in my hand, and I want to give it to the eldest daughter of your family."
Wan Jinlan had already opened the car curtain and glanced at Xie Laosan. Seeing the obvious small fleshy bump under his face, he immediately asked, "Where did it come from?"
Xie Laosan shook his head. "My employer said I can't reveal her information, otherwise I won't get my reward."
Wan Jinlan simply stopped asking.
Ma Liu took the envelope, felt around it with his hands, and when he was sure there was nothing strange about it, he respectfully handed the envelope to Wan Jinlan.
As soon as Wan Jinlan took the letter in his hand, Wan Jinyu and Wan Heng, who was not even ten years old, leaned over to look.
Wan Jinlan simply sealed the envelope. She didn't know who sent it, nor was she sure what was written inside, so she naturally couldn't let the two of them see it.
When she looked at Xie Laosan again, she couldn't see a single person. The alley was clean and empty.
They made an appointment with Princess Anyang at Wangjiang Tower, and when they arrived, Princess Anyang had already arrived.
Standing by the window on the third floor of Wangjiang Tower, you can see many water lanterns floating in the Yong'an River.
The sky was filled with red clouds, and the orange-red sunset fell on the river, rippling the water in the breeze.
Princess Anyang was full and stood by the window enjoying the breeze. Everything she saw was very pleasing to the eye.
All of this is much more interesting than the scenery in the palace that remains the same all year round.
"It would be great if this princess could leave the palace every day."
Wan Jinyu laughed meaningfully, "This is not that simple."
Princess Anyang is sixteen years old and has already reached adulthood, but she has not yet found a marriage.
She naturally knew what Wan Jinyu meant, but if she married just to leave the palace, there would be no point.
Three young girls and a teenage boy finished their meal at Wangjiang Tower and then went out for a stroll on the street. Chuntao and Wan Jinyu's maid followed in front, and the rest of the guards followed not far away in the crowd. Nothing would happen easily.
Wan Heng was quite excited when he came out with his two sisters today, but after having dinner with the princess and his two sisters, his legs never stopped moving.
After visiting the Jinlou, I went to the rouge shop. After visiting the rouge shop, there were various stalls on the street. If I was not buying something, I was on the way to buy something.
Until the night fell completely, the few of them finally arrived at the Yong'an River to light small lights and enjoy the breeze.
Heng Ge'er sat down on the small tea stall by the river and couldn't get up.
He never wanted to go out with his sisters again. When his sisters spent money, they didn't even take a breath. How could they walk for a long time without feeling tired with their frail bodies?
The scene above the river was truly spectacular at this time. Thousands of water lanterns floated on the water, dotted like stars, forming a large area, as brilliant as a galaxy.
The palace is also brightly lit tonight, and the fireworks are brilliant, illuminating the night sky of Kyoto.
The capital is a prosperous place, and it seems much more stable and prosperous than the southwest.
Wan Jinlan and others also bought water lanterns. After lighting the wicks, they put them into the water. They floated in the water and blended into the army of thousands of water lanterns. It was no longer possible to tell where they belonged.
Heng Ge'er sat aside with a sad face watching his sisters release river lanterns. He turned around and saw His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi riding towards him under the willow tree on the river bank.
It's also strange. There is a banquet in the palace today, why is His Highness not in the palace but here instead?
Xiao Feng sat on his horse nonchalantly, wandering alone along the Yong'an River during this lively festival, as if the bustle around him had nothing to do with him.
Wan Jinlan stood up, holding up her skirt, and turned around to see the cold, jade-like figure on the horse's back.
Behind him were countless stars, and the red and orange lights seemed unable to illuminate his handsome face.
This person seemed to have a barrier around him, the kind described in storybooks, which separated him from all the filth in the world.
How could there be such a person in the world, as pure as the ice and jade moon, untainted by dust.
"Emperor, uh, uncle, why are you here tonight?" When Princess Anyang saw Xiao Feng, the word "Emperor's uncle" was about to come out of her mouth.
Speaking of which, her uncle was more than twenty years younger than his father, and only slightly older than his eldest brother, Prince Shun, and a few years older than her. He was born when the grandmother was nearly forty years old.
Xiao Feng slowly cast his scattered gaze on the few people, then pulled the reins and said, "It's time for you to return to the palace."
Anyang: “…”
I don't want to go back! It's so annoying!
Wan Jinlan looked at Xiao Feng's handsome face and said inexplicably, "Your Highness has returned from outside the city. He shouldn't have eaten yet, right?"
She said seriously, "To thank the prince for saving me in Weishui, I am offering you a bag of cakes."
Xiao Feng was a little surprised, then said politely: "The Duke's Mansion has already sent a thank-you gift."
He didn't really need this bag of pastries to fill his stomach.
He sat on his horse, looking at the little girl casually, and saw that she pursed her lips slightly and looked at him with a pair of narrow and bright almond-shaped eyes.
He actually looked a little unhappy, but after a moment, he reached out his hand as if possessed by a ghost, "Here, take it, thank you."
Anyang and Wan Jinyu both widened their eyes.
