It's not good that the foreign princess slipped away during the banquet.
Moreover, if something goes wrong, how will the Great Qi explain itself to the Northern Di?
Xie Zhi held Yuan Yao in his arms and looked at Acha: "If the princess wishes to go out, please return to your seat first and discuss it with the Northern Di envoy."
"No...no need..." Hao Lie said.
Xie Zhi raised an eyebrow and looked at Hao Lie.
Haolie said to Xie Zhi, "With the Crown Prince taking care of Acha... don't worry!"
Xie Zhi laughed: "Prince Haolie trusts me that much?"
"I believe you!" Hao Lie said.
"Alright." Xie Zhi smiled and glanced at Acha: "Let me make this clear beforehand, I, the young master, am to look after Xiao Yao'er. Once we leave the palace, the princess must not wander off."
"Okay!" Acha laughed heartily.
Xie Zhi nodded and looked at Lin Xuan and Jiang Chengyan: "Princess Acha, I'm leaving her in your care."
Lin Xuan and Jiang Chengyan exchanged a glance.
Both of them saw their own speechlessness reflected in each other's eyes.
What kind of nonsense is it for a foreign princess to sneak out of the palace with them and spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together?
Tonight is definitely not going to be fun!
On Mid-Autumn Festival night, security at the palace gates was relatively lax.
Xie Zhi specially ordered the carriage to be brought into the palace gate, and the group squeezed onto one carriage and drove out of the palace gate.
Once inside the carriage, Xie Zhi asked Yuan Yao, "Little Yao, where would you like to go first?"
"I'll follow your arrangements!" Yuan Yao said with a smile.
She had been here for several months, but she really didn't know much about the capital.
She really didn't know where the most lively place was during the holidays.
"Shall we go to Sishichun?" Xie Zhi asked. "Did you eat your fill tonight?"
Yuan Yao shook her head: "I won't go to Si Shi Chun. Otherwise, it will implicate the people of Si Shi Chun and get punished."
After speaking, she said to the outside of the carriage, "Don't you dare tell my father!"
Remnant Wind: "..."
Po Yue: "..."
What should I do if my little princess is too naughty?
We have no choice but to spoil them!
Going back, I'll probably get a scolding.
The poor guard, smelling the sweet aroma of mooncakes and osmanthus blossoms in the air, couldn't help but shed tears from the corners of his mouth...
Acha sat opposite Yuan Yao and Xie Zhi, squeezed next to Jiang Chengyan, and occasionally lifted the carriage curtain to look out curiously.
She was extremely active, almost restless.
One moment, he would lift the curtain on one side of the carriage, and the next, he would lift the curtain on the other side.
Jiang Chengyan straightened up, his face turning dark.
Originally, as a prince, he had made up his mind tonight and shamelessly asked Xie Zhi to take him out of the palace for a trip.
Unexpectedly, a princess from the Northern Di tribe appeared out of nowhere.
Moreover, this princess is so chattering, it's incredibly noisy...
Lin Xuan looked at Jiang Chengyan with sympathy: "How about Your Highness switch seats with me?"
"No trade!" Jiang Chengyan refused, his face dark.
Lin Xuan was happy to have some peace and quiet.
The carriage traveled along the main road outside the palace gate, passed the bustling Jinzun Street, and then circled around before arriving at Liuhe Street, which was built along the moat.
Liuhe Street, originally named Liuhe Street because it is located by the water and is planted with weeping willows, was originally called Liuhe Street.
Later, the imperial court felt that the name "Liuhe" was not grand enough, so they chose the homophonous "Liuhe".
Liuhe Street was bustling with traffic.
Unlike the luxury of other streets, Liuhe Street is more down-to-earth.
Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, with lanterns hanging all over the streets.
Even the weeping willows are adorned with many delicate little lanterns, swaying gently in the wind.
On the street, various stalls and vendors are selling all kinds of snacks and trinkets.
Some vendors were shouting and hawking their wares.
The sweet aromas of mooncakes, osmanthus sugar, and candied hawthorn waft along the river...
The streets were bustling with traffic.
Many people were carrying lanterns.
As soon as Acha stepped off the carriage, he exclaimed with delight and surprise, "The nights in Daqi are so lively!"
In the Northern Barbarian lands, the weather has turned cool at this time of year.
Once night falls, the herders generally stay indoors.
Meanwhile, the Great Qi was bustling with activity.
Everyone was overjoyed.
Most importantly, the streets are so beautiful!
She had never seen so many beautiful lanterns and such a vibrant night scene before!
Seeing that Acha was happy, Xie Zhi smiled and said, "Tonight is not a lively night."
The princess arrived at an inopportune time, just in time for the Empress Dowager's period of mourning.
During the mourning period, entertainment is prohibited throughout the country.
Outside of the mourning period, the streets are filled with song and dance performances and acrobatics.
"Really?" Acha asked curiously, "When will the next festival be?"
The next holiday?
Xie Zhi calculated for a moment and replied, "Chinese New Year."
"New Year's..." Acha said disappointedly, "By the time you Qi celebrate the New Year, I will have already returned to Beidi."
Xie Zhi smiled without saying a word, took Yuan Yao's little hand, and asked, "Little Yao, would you like a sugar figurine?"
Yuan Yao thought for a moment and said, "I don't want sugar figurines, I want a skewer of candied hawthorns!"
Candied hawthorn berries are both beautiful and delicious.
As for sugar figurines, many stalls sell blown sugar figurines.
Although Yuan Yao didn't have severe mysophobia, she simply couldn't bring herself to eat the blown sugar figurines...
Xie Zhi smiled and pinched Yuan Yao's little face: "Brother Zhi will get you a string of candied hawthorns first to whet your appetite. I'll take you to eat something delicious later."
Yuan Yao: "..."
He took advantage of her again!
Calling me "brother" this and "brother" that is so cheesy!
Xie Zhi can be so arrogant sometimes!
If he had a tail, it would be practically pointing skyward right now!
Xie Zhi stopped a vendor selling candied hawthorns, picked and chose the largest skewer, and handed it to Yuan Yao; "Here you go!"
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Chengyan, the youngest besides Yuan Yao: "Second Prince, would you like a skewer?"
Jiang Chengyan stared at the candied hawthorns stuck with straw bundles, silently swallowed, and then said coldly, "No!"
Seeing his expression, Xie Zhi laughed.
He took out a small silver ingot and handed it to the shopkeeper: "Four more skewers, please!"
"Alright!" The shopkeeper happily picked out four skewers of candied hawthorn.
Xie Zhi took them, handing one string to each person and keeping one for himself.
He opened his mouth and took a big bite: "Sweet!"
After saying that, he looked down at Yuan Yao and asked, "Little Yao, can you bite it?"
You're underestimating her!
Yuan Yao flashed two rows of tiny white baby teeth: "My teeth are even straighter than yours!"
She looks absolutely adorable!
Xie Zhi grinned from ear to ear, reached out and flicked her forehead: "You little brat! How dare you make fun of me!"
"Ouch!"
Yuan Yao rubbed her forehead and exclaimed in a childish voice.
"It's good that it hurts," Xie Zhi laughed. "Only when it hurts will you remember it. Don't make fun of me."
"cut!"
Yuan Yao was being led by Xie Zhi with one hand, while holding a candied hawthorn in the other, taking small bites.
The hawthorns were exceptionally fresh and a bit sour, but when paired with crunchy, sweet sugar, the sweet and sour flavor was incredibly appetizing!
Seeing this, Xie Zhi grinned at her and said, "Is it delicious?"
"Mmm!" Yuan Yao nodded with a smile.
"Look at you, your lips are covered in sugar crumbs."
Xie Zhi squatted down in front of Yuan Yao, showing no disgust, and directly wiped her mouth with his sleeve.
Yuan Yao was quite embarrassed.
Just as we were eating, a puzzled voice came from the side: "Young Master? Princess?"
Yuan Yao and Xie Zhi both looked up.
Who is it?
Even if you sneak out of the palace to play, you might still run into acquaintances?
