To say that he was not a little moved, that is a lie. The haze in Du Yunjin's heart because of the return of the geese also seems to have dispersed, and people always have to learn to move forward, even if there are a lot of injuries along the way.

Du Yunjin was dressed in a light lilac cloud forging under Ruyu's service, which was not precious, like an ordinary rich lady in the imperial capital. After all this qiē was done, she sat down at the table, and Ruyu served tea while talking to her with great interest about the grand occasion of the lantern festival in previous years.

She only thought that the people in a frontier area like Crescent City were open, but she didn't know that it was also the same in the imperial capital. On this day of the Shangyuan Festival, young men and women can freely shuttle through the lantern festival, and if they meet the person they like, they will stand under the lamp and tell their affection to him, thus achieving a happy marriage.

Du Yunjin thought that such a thing may be a beautiful vision from hearsay, if one of them is a famous family and one is a poor family, then can this relationship still be achieved. Just like when the dog was broken, it was nothing more than with the help of such a thing. At that time, the eldest daughter of the leader of the dog fell in love with her own cheap slave, and did not hesitate to elope with her and defected, but was chased and killed by the leader of the dog rong. In order to save the lives of herself and her lover, the woman surrendered to Du Bo and personally led the foreign enemy to break through her royal court. It is said that they once met and fell in love during the love song festival of the Inurong tribe.

However, Ruyu spoke very excitedly, and Du Yunjin went with her.

The sunlight slowly shone from the east side of the courtyard to the big plane tree in the west, during which Du Yunjin used some pastries to pad his stomach, and Ruyu finished telling all the stories in his stomach, and drank water to rest.

The courtyard was empty, and the person she was waiting for was nowhere to be seen.

"Mother, it's better for the slave to ask."

Du Yunjin looked at the sunshine that was about to sink in the west, and nodded to Ruyu. She is not impatient, and waiting is a common thing for her. There were many days of battle, days of ambush on the hillside and not being able to move for days.

I don't know how my father is doing on such a holiday?

She lay on the table, her thoughts drifting to the city far away. Her father seems to be angry with her for forcibly going to Beijing to choose a concubine, and he has rarely given her a word over the years. She hadn't seen her father for years, she didn't know if the gray hair between his sideburns was still there, and she didn't know if he still patrolled Crescent City every day......

It was obviously a festive season, but my father was alone at the border gate, and there was no one to ask for warmth.

In this way, she is really an unfilial daughter. What she was thinking in her heart was that after Xiao Yu ascended the dragon throne, she would ask her father if he was willing to return to Beijing. If her father is willing to come back, she will repair the Du family's mansion on Zhuzi Street so that her father can enjoy his old age in peace. There were some spacious areas in the mansion, and she had wanted to tidy them up and grow some green vegetables, just like she had in Crescent City.

She was thinking about the days after her future father returned to Beijing, and she saw Guo Housheng walking towards this side with Ruyu.

"Mother, Wan'an." Guo Housheng saluted respectfully, and only stood up straight after being exempted from Du Yunjin's courtesy.

"Grandpa Guo." Du Yunjin restrained his thoughts and sat upright. "What's the matter?"

"Back to Niangniang, Your Highness has some urgent matters to deal with today, so let the villain come and inform him." Guo Housheng lowered his head and replied without being humble or arrogant: "His Royal Highness also instructed the villain to bring a word to Niangniang, if you owe Niangniang today, Your Highness will come from the meeting to find an opportunity to make up for it, and please don't take Niangniang to heart." ”

"Urgent?" Du Yunjin didn't have any doubts, but he was just a little disappointed. Although she wasn't looking forward to tonight's trip to enjoy the lanterns, she thought that the person had fulfilled her appointment after all, and she was still a little unhappy in her heart. But after all, she is not one of those twisted women, since Xiao Yu has something to do, then she will find another time to go out of the palace to relax.

"This concubine is fine, please tell His Royal Highness that you don't have to worry, just concentrate on the things you are doing."

Du Yunjin sighed, and when she relaxed like this, she felt that she was a little hungry.

Guo Housheng secretly glanced at Du Yunjin's face, and saw that she really didn't look like she was pretending to be generous, and he also breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, and respectfully said goodbye and left.

"Mother." Ruyu stood beside Du Yunjin, holding a plate of pastries in her hand. She said extremely quietly, as if only Du Yunjin heard it: "The slave maid didn't hear anything urgent about His Highness. ”

Du Yunjin's face froze with her words, and he immediately returned to nature. If Xiao Yu's urgency can be known to ordinary people, then it is not Xiao Yu's urgency.

"It's not early, since you don't leave the palace, then ask someone to bring dinner." Du Yunjin waved at her, ignoring her little provocation.

Ruyu saw that Du Yunjin did not show his suspicion of Xiao Yu, so she wisely stopped her mouth. Some things can't be rushed, and there will always be a day when the roots are planted, and then there will be wonderful things to see. Or maybe that day isn't far away, maybe it's just around the corner.

Ruyu's movements were more swift than those of Yanhui, and after a while, a table of hot food was placed in front of Du Yunjin, and most of them were Du Yunjin's favorites. This is probably the skillful nature that people who have been in the palace for a long time have trained.

As soon as the silver chopsticks in Du Yunjin's hand reached out to the first dish, he heard a familiar sentence coming from the door.

"Sister-in-law."

The long hair of the ink silk was loosely tied behind him with a blue headband, the moon-white plain robe, and the belt of the same color were tied around the waist.

The face that gradually dragged away the childishness but still revealed the simplicity, and the facial features that were very similar to Xiao Yu's were like a copy of Xiao Yu in another world.

"Why are you here?" Du Yunjin put down the silver chopsticks, and Ruyu beside him put the stool in time.

Xiao Shaokang turned his head and smiled shallowly at Ruyu, and sat down politely without the slightest politeness. "There is a lantern festival in the city tonight, and I specially invited my eldest sister-in-law all the way."

"Specially invited?" Every time Du Yunjin saw her smiling face, the boredom in his heart would disappear in a moment. "I'm afraid it's because the queen mother doesn't allow you to go to the lantern festival alone, so you will remember to pull my eldest sister-in-law's shield!"

was told that Xiao Shaokang was not embarrassed, and only looked at her with those eyes as clear as a deer in the forest.

"The eldest sister-in-law has been in the imperial capital for a few years, and she has never seen such a scene. I heard from the queen mother that the eldest brother was going to take you to enjoy the lanterns, and I was going to come to take advantage of it, but I heard that Mr. Guo said that the eldest brother had other important matters, so I had to come to ask the eldest sister-in-law to go with me. ”

"You'll have a decision." Du Yunjin looked at Xiao Shaokang beside him helplessly, and it was really difficult to refuse his request.

"Is the eldest sister-in-law willing to go with you?"
