The third prince took the first step, and the others followed closely behind.
As for taking the Prince of Nanzhao and the Princess of the Western Regions on a tour, the Third Prince originally wanted to just deal with it casually.
But on second thought... he felt a little excited.
Aina followed Jiang Yueyang, staring at her with blinking eyes.
Jiang Yueyang smiled at her, not knowing what to say to this little fan girl.
After a while, perhaps mustering up her courage, Aina reached out and carefully grabbed Jiang Yueyang's cloak.
Seeing that she didn't refuse, Ayi Na asked quietly: "Can I hold your hand?"
"all right."
Hearing this, Aina happily took Jiang Yueyang's arm and unexpectedly saw the ruby bracelet on her hand.
"Wow! This gemstone bracelet of yours is made of blood amber. One of these gemstones costs a lot of silver!"
"How much silver do you want?"
"Um?"
Seeing her confusion, Jiang Yueyang explained, "It was given to me by someone."
A trace of surprise flashed across Aimu's eyes, and then he smiled and said, "Blood amber is a special kind of ruby, which is only produced in the deep valleys of the extremely cold land in our Western Regions and is extremely rare.
And it also has a meaning.”
"What's the meaning?"
Aimu leaned close to Jiang Yueyang's ear in a mysterious voice, "This blood amber stone symbolizes love that lasts until death. In our Western Regions, it is given to the loved one."
Although Aimu lowered his voice, people who should and shouldn't have heard it heard it.
Jiang Yueyang gently stroked the bracelet, a blush appeared on her face. Ah Yue was that idiot who could only give gifts but not say anything.
At this time, the third prince looked back at Jiang Yueyang and the others, his eyes passing over the bracelet.
His voice was filled with obvious impatience, "Can you guys walk faster?"
Hearing this, Aina clung to Jiang Yueyang like a frightened little rabbit, and an imperceptible curve appeared at the corner of Ayimu's mouth.
Luo Cheng smiled meaningfully, as if he had discovered a new world.
After taking a glance at the Third Prince, Loge glanced sideways at Qingzhi and the other two who were protecting him on the side, and thought deeply.
This female official not only has a master protecting her in secret, but also has someone following her closely in the open.
How important is she that so many people are mobilized to protect her openly or secretly?
Those people who secretly protected her...whose people were they?
After walking for a while, Prince Luo Cheng broke the silence and said, "Your Highness, Third Prince, can we go to the Imperial College to take a look later?"
"No one is allowed to enter the Imperial College. If Prince Luocheng wants to go in, he needs to ask for permission first. I'm afraid it's not possible today."
"Is that so?" Prince Luo Cheng smiled faintly, "Then I'll have to trouble Your Highness to ask for instructions."
"No problem."
Jiang Yueyang shifted his gaze to look at the Third Prince. It was true that the Imperial College was off-limits to outsiders, but it was still easy for the Third Prince to bring people in.
"I almost forgot." The third prince turned his head and looked over, just in time to meet Jiang Yueyang's eyes, "Jiang Yueyang, father asked me to tell you that you have to attend the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony tomorrow."
During the winter solstice in Daxia, the emperor would lead his ministers to the Circular Mound in the suburbs to hold a grand ceremony to worship the heavens.
This is to remember the ancestors, express gratitude to God and pray for good weather, peace and prosperity in the coming year.
Jiang Yueyang nodded, "Got it."
Seeing that the atmosphere had returned to normal, Ayimu spoke up, "I heard that the winter solstice is a particularly important festival for you Daxia people. You usually celebrate it with your family. It's a reunion festival."
"Yeah, it's about the same as the Spring Festival."
"That's great." Aimu showed an envious expression.
Jiang Yueyang smiled. It was still unclear what the purpose of the people from Nanzhao and the Western Regions was now, so it was better to act with caution.
Before they knew it, the group arrived at a bustling market.
The bustling crowd and the dazzling array of goods made Jiang Yueyang, a local, eyes light up.
Ayi Na saw the candy-blowing stall, pulled Jiang Yueyang over, and asked curiously, "What is this?"
"Girl, this is a candy man."
"Blow?" Aina tilted her head in confusion.
The stall owner nodded, "Would you like to blow one, girl? Any animal will do."
"I want to blow!" Jiang Yueyang responded loudly.
"Five cents apiece, what do you want to blow, girl?"
"Hmm..." Jiang Yueyang thought for a moment, "I want to blow a turtle!"
"Okay!"
The stall owner skillfully pinched out a piece of syrup, pulled out a thin tube and handed it to Jiang Yueyang.
Jiang Yueyang puffed out her cheeks and blew air. The stall owner slowly pinched the Tangxi in his hand, occasionally asking Jiang Yueyang to blow more gently.
After a while, the outline of the turtle appeared.
The third prince said, "She likes cute things. Let's make the turtle fatter."
The stall owner smiled and nodded.
Soon, a cute turtle was formed. It was really cute.
The stall owner cut the thin tube used for blowing air, inserted a wooden stick into the turtle, and handed it to Jiang Yueyang, "Girl, this is your turtle."
Ayi Na's eyes were filled with amazement, and she shouted, "I want to blow it, too. I want to blow it, too."
"Please...what does Aina want to blow?"
"I...I want to blow a lamb."
The stall owner smiled and asked Aina to blow air, but after a while the smile on his face disappeared.
Because Aina had no skills in blowing, she either used too much force or her breath was too weak, making it difficult for the stall owner to control the shape.
In the end, Aina got a long sheep horn bag and two fat sheep with big bellies.
Let's just call it a sheep.
"It's so ugly, I need to blow a new one."
