Chapter 231 Love at Second Sight
Everyone from Prince Qi's palace came in and stood together.
The steward said respectfully, "Your Highness, next, you can take your family to the lake to watch the lanterns, or go to the attic to watch the singing and dancing. At the end, it's time to set off the fireworks. Although we, the prince, have arranged guards by the lake, the young masters and young ladies in your house are precious, so you have to have your men pay more attention."
"Thank you." Li Jing nodded.
The guard next to him gave the steward a tip, and the steward thanked him and continued to work.
Li Jing asked Mo Yi: "What should we do next?"
He had never been to such a place before and didn't know how to play, so he just asked Mo Yi.
"My idea is that we should go around the lake to see the lanterns first. After going around once, we can go to watch the singing and dancing. Finally, we can go back to the lake when the fireworks are set off!"
"Okay. Where do we go from here?"
"Let's turn left from right. But if we start walking, we might get separated. The adults are fine, but the children..."
Aunt Zhao pointed at her grandchildren and said, "I will take care of them myself."
Concubine Tian brought Qianqian and the maid with her. She smiled and said, "I will take good care of Qianqian."
Concubine Feng looked at Shao Ge'er, who was still holding Li Jing's hand, so she smiled gently and said, "Let's follow the prince."
Mo Yi said to Zhou Jiu, "Ah Jiu, take Xiang Xiang and walk in front of us...Everyone walk slowly and don't be in a hurry. If there are lanterns you like, you can invite everyone to see them."
He turned around and asked Mo Ruhai, "Dad, have you discussed with mother how to go back?"
"We've discussed it. Finally, we'll wait at the south gate, then turn right and walk three blocks. Our family's car is parked there. There's also a car coming from your aunt's house, so don't worry."
"Then let's go!"
Xiangxiang and Zhou Jiu walked to the front.
Mo Yi and Mo Yuan accompanied Mo Ruhai on his left and right.
Li Jing followed behind the father and daughter, holding Shao Ge'er in his hand.
Concubine Feng and Concubine Tian came behind, and then two concubines who were dressed beautifully.
Madam Zhao looked at Li Jing's tall figure, walking slowly, and he was actually looking around...
I was filled with emotion: My Lord, I am living an ordinary life. At this moment, Mo Yi pointed at a lamp and turned back to say something to Li Jing.
The prince turned his head to look as she followed his hand...with a smile on his face, he also said something.
Finally, someone could make him feel so relieved... The little regrets he had about the prince marrying Mo Yi had disappeared at this moment.
Compared with the prince's peace of mind and happiness, family background, appearance, intelligence and talent are not important!
"Seventh sister-in-law. Seventh brother!" someone shouted, and when I looked up, it was Li Chang!
Just now Mo Yi was wondering why Li Chang, the follower, was nowhere to be seen?
It turned out that he was smiling foolishly and accompanying the two girls from the Zhao family.
Wow, it’s really different now that I have a fiancée!
Everyone stopped, and after another round of laughter, they continued to move forward.
Mo Yi looked back and saw that everyone in Prince Qi's mansion was there, except his mother, aunt, eldest brother and his wife. They were probably too nervous to follow the prince, so they went off to play somewhere else.
This journey really makes people understand what fireworks are...
Even Li Jing, who usually doesn't care about it, couldn't help but sigh: This is a real effort.
There were no two lights alike, they were all different, big and small, and in all shapes and sizes. The big lights, with candlelight high and low inside, were bright, illuminating the surroundings like daylight.
Every few steps you take, you'll see a scene.
The more I looked at it, the more I wondered: What was this guy going to do with all that money and effort? I didn't even bother looking at the lights, but was savoring the flavor.
I was watching and commenting all the way, when I suddenly saw a group of people in front of me. There were guards blocking the way, so others could only go around them...
Even Zhou Jiu and Xiang Xiang had to take a detour.
The guards knew Li Jing and Li Chang, so they didn't dare to stop him. He walked forward and looked curiously. The person at the front of the crowd was actually the Prince of Yong'an. He was accompanying a young man, and next to him, there was a young woman.
know……
It’s the Imperial Concubine and Little Fifteen.
Prince Yong'an was patiently explaining the lanterns to Little Fifteen when someone next to him suddenly reminded him. He turned around and said with a smile, "Hey, Seventh Brother is here!"
When Xiao Shiwu saw Li Jing, he was very friendly and called out "Seventh Brother!" and was about to come over.
The little Concubine Dong next to him glanced at Li Jing coldly, and pulled Xiao Shiwu to stop him from coming over. Then she saw Mo Yi next to her and began to look at her to see if there was anything new.
Mo Yi bowed to the imperial concubine and looked at her carefully.
Today's imperial concubine's hairstyle and clothes were very simple, but her beautiful face could not be ignored by anyone.
Not to mention the diamond hairpin on her head.
Under the light, she radiated a cold light...different from all the women she had seen along the way.
After all, she is a royal concubine, so generous! Such a novel thing...
And she was still holding the bag I gave her last time...
Mo Yuan had never seen a diamond before, so she asked Mo Yi in a low voice: "What is that on her head? Why is it so shiny?"
The jewelry that Li Jing gave to Mo Yi also contained diamonds, but they were not as big as the one on the concubine's head, and there were not as many of them.
"Let's talk about it when we get back..." She didn't bother to explain.
Li Jing was already greeting them, "Cousin, Fifteenth Brother. Imperial Concubine..."
"It is my honor that Seventh Brother is here in person. The Crown Prince has just brought people over, so you should also bring your family and have fun!"
Prince Yong'an was a little surprised when he saw the large group of people following Li Jing... You were told that you could bring anyone you wanted, but you actually brought quite a lot.
"Okay. Let's go forward first." Li Jing nodded at the three of them and walked forward.
Mo Yi kept smiling at the imperial concubine, but didn't say anything. It felt like the three of them standing together were really harmonious and pleasing to the eye.
How come it's like... a thought flashed through my mind... I suddenly felt that I was really bold and boring. I bowed to the imperial concubine again and followed Li Jing away.
After walking for a while, Shao Ge'er suddenly saw a light and shouted, "This is Wu Song fighting the tiger!"
Li Jing nodded: "Shao Ge'er is really smart, what he said is right."
His rare praise made Shao Ge'er happy. He let go of him and ran to Concubine Feng, holding her hand: "...This is Wu Song fighting a tiger. Father said Shao Ge'er is smart, and he is right!"
Hey, silly son, just tell me what you are doing here.
Concubine Feng sighed inwardly and had to pull Shao Ge'er up.
"Miss Yuanyuan..." someone called softly, Mo Yuan looked over...
There was a person standing in the tree pit, holding a small glass lamp in his hand. The lamp was colorful and very delicate. But because it was small, the light was not very bright.
"Who is it? Are you calling me?"
The man took a step forward, and Mo Yi saw that it was Zhang Debao in the uniform of the imperial guards.
"Master Zhang? Why are you here?!"
Zhang Debao looked at the woman in front of him, feeling relaxed and happy. He sneaked here and waited for so long just to see her. "I have business today, and Prince Yong'an was worried that he didn't have enough manpower, so he borrowed us to come here!"
"Oh. What about my second brother?"
"It was just here..." Zhang Debao handed over the lamp in his hand: "I found this specially for you..."
"Oh, it's so beautiful!" Mo Yuan took it.
Mo Yuan was getting too excited just now, and she wanted to show off, so she took off her cloak and let the girl hold it, and she pretended to be a flying fairy...
At this time, she was holding a small lantern, her black hair fluttering in the wind, and she was as beautiful as a fairy.
Zhang Debao looked at it stupidly, his throat felt tight, he couldn't speak, and he even wanted to cry.
Over the years that followed, whenever he thought of this moment, his heart would beat like a drum...
"Aunt Jiu, look! That's a lantern depicting Chang'e flying to the moon, and she's holding a little rabbit!" Xiangxiang shouted.
Zhou Jiu looked over there, and sure enough, "Yes, it's so beautiful!"
She looked straight ahead, not paying attention to her feet, tripped, stumbled forward, and stepped on the hem of her skirt again...
"Ah!" It's broken, it's going to fall!
As a result, a strong arm suddenly reached out from the side and gently supported her.
She looked at it in embarrassment, and saw a warm smile: "Miss Zhou Jiu, watch your step!"
"Second Master Mo..." Zhou Jiu's face turned red.
After straightening Zhou Jiu, Mo Fan immediately let go of his hand. Fortunately, no one else saw it...
"Thank you...otherwise I would have fallen!" Zhou Jiu whispered.
Mo Fan looked at Zhou Jiu. Although he knew that he shouldn't do this... his face turned red to his ears and his heart started beating uncontrollably.
The admiration and curiosity I felt when I first met him at Zhao's house turned into a frenzy of excitement when I met him the second time...
