Under the setting sun, the Crown Prince looked quite dashing.
He wasn't wearing a travel hat, but a headscarf.
There are sayings about ordinary people.
A flat top is a type of headscarf that wraps the hair from front to back, hence the name "flat top," meaning level with the head.
(Since the time of the Wude era, handkerchiefs have been used, and civil officials and celebrities wear small, flat-topped handkerchiefs.) The small handkerchief is a lining handkerchief inside a hat, like a petticoat, and is indeed smaller.
(The nobles were bestowed with tall headscarves, which were called the style of the military princes... At the imperial banquet, the chief ministers and other officials were given headscarves in the style of the imperial family... Civil officials and soldiers mostly wore headscarves made of purple and black official silk or flat headscarves, which was considered an elegant style.)
The styles of headscarves, such as tall headscarves and inner headscarves, are getting taller and taller.
That's why there's the saying "wearing a tall hat".
Xie Zhou was wearing a flat headscarf, but his good looks made all the difference! It gave him a completely different vibe.
Di Baose watched the spectacle from the sidelines; it seemed His Highness really was selling roast meat.
Huan Yue had a flash of inspiration.
It was probably natural for the emperor to be wary of the crown prince.
Therefore, the Crown Prince did some things that were not very proper but harmless.
The emperor came here to relax and also to see how he was doing.
Therefore, when Huan Yue looked at that scoundrel, she wasn't actually grilling meat for her; rather, she felt that Huan Yue had been used.
So the emperor was at ease?
Huan Yue neither resented the Crown Prince nor his father, nor was he particularly happy.
She doesn't have the brains for that, so stop thinking about those things. And don't get carried away, just be happy with how things are going.
Five tables were set up in the open space in front of the hall.
Sages are naturally the only ones who are respected.
Huan Yue, Di Baose, and Wen Miao were on one side, while Peng Wang, Zheng Wang, Di Shan, Wen Yuan, and others were on the other.
The art style is actually quite nice, except for the Crown Prince grilling meat amidst the smoke and fire.
Neither Di Shan nor Prince Peng went to help; they couldn't steal the crown prince's thunder.
At the banquet, in addition to the Crown Prince's roasted meat, there were also various fine wines and delicacies; it was impossible to eat only meat.
That was just for fun; the Crown Prince's performance wasn't too bad.
Xie Zhou roasted another large piece of meat.
Today, people are shouting, "Why bother baking anymore? We can't sell them!"
Di Baose laughed wildly!
Xie Zhou looked at his wife, who loved to eat meat.
Today, he couldn't help but scold his son: "Don't you know what you're doing with that barbecue? You're only giving Qing'e a little bit of it as a favor."
Di Baose laughed and squatted on the ground. She thought His Highness was quite stupid.
Di Baose teased, "Is Your Majesty lacking meat? Who would eat you if you weren't starving?"
Xie Zhou would lose face.
Today, they're giving him face again: "Go and get ready quickly."
Thank you, Father Emperor!
Xie Zhou handed the meat to the cook and quickly went to wash it.
He learned how to grill meat seriously, but he still had to clean it up after each time.
Actually, as long as it's cleaned up, what's wrong with doing it?
Xie Zhou was very happy. Once he had baked them well, he would feed them to his wife every day and take good care of her.
Huan Yue thanked his entire family! Of course, he should thank the Sage.
I'm very happy right now, let's see what fun things we can do together.
A palace attendant brought over the water-filled agate of Consort Huan.
Peng Wangzheng racked his brains trying to come up with a poem. He secretly glanced at Miss Wen.
Although Wenmiao is not yet married into the family, it will be considered a family dinner and daily occasion in the future.
Although Prince Peng was going out, Wenmiao had nothing to worry about. If he couldn't even handle such a simple task, there was no point in worrying.
Huan Yue took the agate; it was purple on the outside, but because the window was open, it wasn't entirely purple anymore.
Look closely at the carving; there's a window in the middle, and the surrounding area resembles a rhombus-shaped mirror.
It refers to the presence of flowers around the front, or something resembling a lattice window, which enhances the scenery.
Huan Yue gently shook it again, looking at the water tank inside. It was so beautiful!
Whether it was the sunset or the purple hues beside it, the water tank refracted an even more mysterious light.
Huan Yue carefully presented it to the emperor: "Your Majesty, do you think it's beautiful?"
I just saw it: "The agate and the carving are both quite good."
Huan Yue smiled and said, "Your Majesty, look at the water tank inside. The stones are heavy, let me carry them for you."
The emperor laughed and said, "I can lift this stone."
That's true. Huan Yue stopped trying to curry favor. She put down the agate and returned to her seat.
Today, I picked up the agate from the table and examined it closely.
The sun has set, and a bright moon shines in the sky.
The surrounding lights were gradually turned on, creating a wonderful atmosphere.
Everyone is looking at the agate in the saint's hand; indeed, it looks good from all angles.
Haha! He burst into laughter: "This is really interesting!"
Huan Yue asked, "Doesn't it look like the stars and the sea above us? It's the Milky Way. When the river is wide enough, standing on its banks feels like being at the seaside, boundless and limitless!"
Today, we look up at the sky.
Everyone's watching.
The sky was absolutely clear! There were so many stars! The Milky Way seemed incredibly far away.
Huan Yue sighed, "I don't know when I'll be able to stand by that river and recite the line, 'The Master said, standing by the river, "Time flows on like this, never ceasing."' I don't know how long it will be before I can do that.
Now let's turn our attention back to this agate.
It's as if I've glimpsed a distant secret within the water tank.
Di Baose and Huan Yue said, "How old is it?"
Huan Yue glanced at her: "Don't you know that Mount Sumeru can be contained within a mustard seed? There is a universe within a mustard seed. How do you know it won't be sealed here?"
Today, we put down the agate and let everyone see it, while watching the blue moth.
Huan Yue casually remarked, "Do you know how this is produced? It didn't just fall from the sky; there's always a reason. Just like how water and quicklime can release such a large amount of heat, where is that heat stored?"
Today, someone is interested in asking: "Where do you think this came from?"
Huan Yue couldn't say, but said, "In fact, everything in heaven and earth has its origins. We can't rely on imagination alone; we have to explore. For example, how do meteorites fall? Do they fall from trees like fruit? Or do they fall like rain? Hail can cause disasters, and if a huge rock falls from the sky, it will also be a great disaster on the ground."
Di Baose asked, "How big?"
Huan Yue said, "It's bigger than a mountain. With a loud bang! The tremor was even more powerful than an earthquake!"
Di Baose asked, "Why did the earth shake?"
Huan Yue said, "It's probably like two people who can't get along when they meet?"
Di Baose had asked casually, but then became interested: "How could an earthquake involve two people?"
Huan Yue said, "It could also be two pieces of land. You say you can't see the land moving. If the land isn't moving, how can the moon move? What if the land is also moving? One would be going east and the other west."
Wen Yuan nodded: "We bumped into each other."
Di Shan was interested: "If two small ones collide, it's not a big problem; but if two big ones collide quickly, they can smash a hole in the wall and send people flying."
Huan Yue nodded: "Aren't earthquakes of varying severity? Just like rain can be heavy or light, it's all part of nature."
Di Shan was genuinely interested: "Two plots of land, how are they going to be matched?"
Huan Yue said, "Great Zhao is surrounded by the sea. If such a large piece of land as Great Zhao were to collide with another piece of land, wouldn't Great Zhao be affected? It would be like two pieces of ice floating on a lake."
Wen Yuan immediately seized the opportunity: "The land is floating on the sea?"
Huan Yue held his head.
They're having a good time now.
Xie Zhou came over to see why his wife was pretending again. She always pretended so casually.
A palace attendant rushed over, shouting, "Princess Yongmu has committed suicide!"
