Today is the Lantern Festival. Thousands of bright lanterns are like the bright moon and stars floating on the Milky Way, shining in the empty valley like morning torches. The light can be seen for hundreds of miles, surpassing the moon's brightness.
As night falls and the lights come on, the streets of the imperial city are bustling with traffic and people.
People dressed in various costumes flocked in from all directions with laughter and cheers, and the place was full of noise and bustle.
Compared with the bustling streets of the imperial city, Jiang Jingyu's wedding room seemed a little deserted.
Since she came to the bridal chamber, no one has come to visit except Zhou Huaiqian.
It was called a wedding house, but the courtyard where Jiang Jingyu lived was actually the most remote Nanyuan in the general's mansion. Even the places where the maids and servants lived were several times better than Nanyuan.
Usually there is not even anyone to clean the place.
Apart from the two maids Qiu Shuang and Dong Xu, there was no one else in the yard with Jiang Jingyu.
Dongxu took advantage of the chaos to steal some food from the kitchen, and this was the meal for the three of them, the master and the servant, tonight.
If Dongxu hadn't stolen some food from the kitchen, the three of them might not have had anything to eat tonight.
After all, Zhou Huaiqian had already ordered that no one was allowed to serve in Nanyuan, so the maids and servants naturally had no reason to go against their master because of an unpopular general's wife.
"Miss, the general is being too unreasonable. If you marry into the general's mansion, you will be the general's wife. It would be fine if you were placed in the remote and dilapidated Nanyuan, but he even refuses to send you food! This is too much of a bully!"
Qiu Shuang's eyes were red and she looked at Jiang Jingyu with a distressed look.
When the young lady was in the mansion, the master and the mistress treated her very well. How could she have ever suffered such an injustice?
Dong Xu's face was also very ugly. She frowned tightly and said, "Miss, tomorrow I will sneak back to the Jiang Mansion and tell the master about this!"
She believed that as long as the master stepped in, the people in the general's mansion would not dare to bully the young lady like this anymore!
"Forget it, there's no need to disturb my parents. It's quite nice here, secluded and quiet."
She wished that people from the general's mansion would stay away from him.
Jiang Jingyu stood up and said, "I'm full. I'm going out to digest the food. You guys can eat quickly. You don't have to follow me."
After saying this, Jiang Jingyu walked out of the room, leaving Qiu Shuang and Dong Xu staring at each other.
Qiu Shuang hesitated: "Should we follow?"
Dongxu glanced at the departing figure and then shook his head.
"The young lady needs to be alone at this moment. If we go over and disturb her, I'm afraid it will make her unhappy."
Qiu Shuang was a little worried, but Dong Xu's words made sense, so she didn't chase after him.
Jiang Jingyu followed the memories of her previous life and came to a side door near Nanyuan. Only servants would go in and out of this side door when they were buying supplies, and there was no one guarding the side door at this time.
Jiang Jingyu pushed the door latch and walked out of the general's mansion easily.
Noisy sounds suddenly came from all directions.
"Where is Emperor Jing?"
[Host, Emperor Jing has just gotten off the carriage and is now at the edge of Mirror Lake in the south of the city.]
Mirror Lake.
Jiang Jingyu narrowed her eyes and walked straight towards Jinghu Lake.
Today is her wedding day with Zhou Huaiqian. As the daughter of a wealthy merchant, most of the people in the imperial city know her.
In order to make things easier, Jiang Jingyu bought a mask in the alley and covered the upper half of her face.
Who knows if Zhou Huaiqian’s dog will appear during the Lantern Festival?
On the other side, Mirror Lake.
Song Wenjing stood in a white robe with his hands behind his back. He had an upright posture and a picturesque face, and he looked as ethereal as an immortal who had been banished to the mortal world. However, his deep eyes were calm, with an innate coldness and arrogance, as if he could see through everything in the world, making people dare not look directly at him.
The nobility and arrogance that emanates from the inside out are even more intimidating and beyond reach.
Song Wenjing stared at the scenery around Jinghu Lake for a while and sighed. It was really boring.
Eunuch Su, who had followed behind him, noticed his downturn and hurriedly asked, "Young Master, would you like to go take a look inside the Imperial City? Today is the Lantern Festival, and the Imperial City should be bustling with activity and full of interesting things to see."
"Um."
Song Wenjing responded indifferently, and several guards behind him hurriedly moved three meters towards him and surrounded Song Wenjing.
There was no other way. His Majesty did not allow any woman to approach within three meters, so they could only use this method to prevent anyone from accidentally bumping into His Majesty.
Song Wenjing walked among the guards dressed as servants, holding a folding fan. He did not think there was anything wrong and walked towards the streets of the imperial city following the noise.
Just as Eunuch Su said, the streets of the imperial city were bustling with activity.
Various vendors set up stalls on both sides of the street, enthusiastically soliciting customers and selling their goods.
There were so many people on the street that it was no exaggeration to say they were walking with their chests pressed against their backs.
When Song Wenjing appeared on the street with a group of guards, he quickly attracted everyone's attention.
While everyone was amazed by Song Wenjing's appearance, they also sneered at him for putting on such airs on the street.
But Song Wenjing exuded an air of nobility, so they didn't dare to discuss it in front of him.
If they offend an important person, they can’t afford it!
Although the people kept silent, the strange looks they gave Song Wenjing seemed to say, "Is this guy sick? ? Why would he bring so many followers with him just to go out on the street?!"
So hypocritical!!
Song Wenjing naturally noticed the strange looks from everyone. He frowned slightly and glanced at the guards surrounding him.
Song Wenjing: "...Everyone, please leave."
No wonder everyone looked at him like that, this posture was really a bit ostentatious.
Eunuch Su was stunned and said hesitantly: "Young Master, you..."
"It's okay, I'll just hide."
