Chapter 20: The Thousand Lantern Festival

In the next few days, Rong Jiu was in a bad mood, obviously it was just a trivial matter, but it was blocked in her heart for a long time, and even she didn't know how she could be like this.

Until the Thousand Lantern Festival on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival in Youzhou Countryโ€”โ€”

Rong Jiu naturally didn't want to miss this kind of lively festival, so after struggling in her heart for a long time, she nervously asked Amu to send her an invitation and invite Song Moting to go out with her tomorrow night.

Amu said that on the day of the Thousand Lanterns, anyone who has a favorite object will send an invitation to invite the other party to come out to play, if the other party accepts your invitation, it means that he accepts your heart.

Rong Jiu naturally hoped to play with Song Moting, but when he thought of his rejecting appearance thousands of miles away, most of the expectations in his heart faded.

She had secretly decided in her heart that if Song Moting didn't accept it, then she would honestly go to the palace banquet tomorrow night, after all, she couldn't go out with the person she liked, and no matter how lively the festival was, it would be boring.

It took a long time to look forward to Amu's return.

Rong Jiu was lying on the table with his hands covering his ears, not daring to look at Ah Mu's expression, for fear of seeing Ah Mu's lost expression.

At this time, her heart was already pounding with nervousness, as if she was about to rush out.

"Princess? You... What are you doing lying on your desk? Amu asked breathlessly, she had just rushed back from the Great King's Mansion, and she didn't dare to slack off.

"I'm fine, Ah Mu, tell me quickly, what's wrong, he, did he confiscate it......" Rong Jiu asked tentatively, and when he said the last sentence, he had no confidence in his heart.

Although she knew that the other party would refuse, she still held on to a little hope.

"Oh, what should I do, the first time I did this kind of thing, I was rejected, it's so embarrassing, you say, will he think I'm a very frivolous person? It's over, maybe he's even more annoying me! Woo woo...... "Before Ah Mu could speak, Rong Jiu muttered secretly.

Amu on the side saw it, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.

"I'm like this, and you're still laughing at me!" Rong Jiu buried his head between his arms, only to feel extremely embarrassed.

"Princess, what are you thinking, your invitation, the prince has already received it!" Amu said with a smile.

"What? You just said that he accepted it? Is it true, Amu, don't lie to me! Rong Jiu jumped up in surprise, for fear that he had heard it wrong, and hurriedly grabbed Amu's arm to confirm.

"Oh, it's true, to be honest, I didn't expect that the eldest prince would accept it so easily!"

"Amu, tell me about the specific situation......

"At that time, I took the invitation to the outside of the palace, the guards were still the two before, I didn't expect them to remember me, so I asked one of them to send it in for me, and specially ordered that it must be handed over to the eldest prince in person, and guess what, it didn't take long to come out, and the doorman also said that the eldest prince said that he would personally come to pick up the princess you in person tonight!"

"Oh yes! Okay Amu, I love you to death! โ€

Rong Jiu was so excited that he pulled Ah Mu around in a circle, and he had already begun to imagine the story of tomorrow night in his heart......

On the day of the Thousand Lantern Festival, Rong Jiu got up early in the morning, and when she had breakfast, she made excuses not to attend the dinner in the palace.

Rong Le and Rong Xian looked helplessly at Rong Jiu with Amu making it up.

"Anyway...... I can't go into the palace with you, that ...... General Mo doesn't have to guard me. Rong Jiu buried his head and pulled the rice into his mouth vigorously to hide his weakness.

"Poof-ha"

Rong Xian couldn't help it at first, and laughed directly.

"You...... What are you laughing at? Rong Jiu thought to himself that it was over, they wouldn't break it down.

"Ahem, little sister, in fact, you can tell us directly, the eldest prince specially sent someone to inform us." Rong Le calmed down and said slowly.

"What?!"

Now it was Rong Jiu's turn to blow up, if she knew this, she wouldn't have to rehearse hard with Amuxin all night.

"I said Xiao Jiu'er, how serious it is, why are you acting like a thief?" Rong Xian quipped.

"You have to take care of it!" Rong Jiu muttered and glared at Rong Xian, then put down the dishes and chopsticks and ran away, "I'm full, I'll go first......"

It's really a shame!

I've never been so ashamed in my life!

Rong Jiu couldn't wait to find a hole in the ground to get into.

Erwangfu โ€“

"How's it going?" Song Moci anxiously asked at Oh Fukang, who had just returned.

"Lord Wang, the minions have run several times, but as soon as the fifth princess heard that it was a post sent by you, she directly refused, and the minions inquired, the fifth princess sent a post to the eldest prince, and the strange thing is that the eldest princess actually accepted it." Fukang said cautiously.

"What? It's him again! Song Mo was so angry that he clenched his hands into fists.

"Fukang, send someone to inform my father, I won't go to tonight's palace banquet."

"Yes."

That night, Song Moting really came over to pick up Rong Jiu in person as agreed.

Rong Jiu was secretly happy in his heart, and the smile on the corner of his mouth could no longer be hidden.

Song Moting wore a black brocade dress today, and she wore a white dress, this black and white, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a couple's dress!

Today's Jing'an City is particularly lively, and the streets are full of candy blowers, all kinds of acrobatics, as well as all kinds of lanterns with lantern riddles, as well as on-site lantern making...... The crowd of people who play is almost all in pairs, lovers who are sweetly attached to each other.

Such a lively scene made Rong Jiu's eyes overwhelmed, but Song Moting was distracted, staring at the front without moving, and directly on the rudder of the boat in the lake, a beautiful woman was sitting there playing the piano, with a slender posture and a generous temperament.

Rong Jiu remembered that this was the woman who was with Song Moci in the Qinglou that day, and a wave of jealousy surged into his heart, and he quickly blocked in front of him, clasping his hands around his chest, staring at him unhappily.

"How's it going, is it pretty?"

Rong Jiu thought that when he heard his angry words, he would restrain himself, but unexpectedly, he nodded and agreed with her words.

Rong Jiu gritted his teeth in anger, Song Moting, this guy is accompanied by me, and he is still staring at other women so blatantly, doesn't he know that this will make me angry? Or does he like this type?

"Where is it beautiful, you can tell me about it!"

Although he was a little unclear, knowing that Rong Jiu was angry, Song Moting still looked away.

"This king thinks that the lantern seems troublesome, but the production process is so simple, and the shape, size and color are different, which is very interesting."

After listening to his words, Rong Jiu was embarrassed, and looked at his line of sight, there was indeed a stall by the lake that made lanterns.

"So that's what you're looking at!"

"Or else?" Song Moting asked rhetorically.

Looking at Fang Cai's line of sight, he had already guessed where the anger in Rong Jiu Fang Cai's words came from.

"Ahem, you like this, do you want to make one too?" Rong Jiu hurriedly changed the topic to hide his embarrassment.

"No need, this king ......"

"Oh, let's go try it!"

Before Song Moting could refuse, Rong Jiu had already taken his hand and ran towards the stall.

Compared with his rough big hand that touched the sword all year round, Rong Jiu's hand was extremely delicate and smooth, extremely soft, and his heartbeat seemed to be faster than usual, this feeling was something Song Moting had never had, and somehow he didn't mean to shake it off, but tightened it a little harder.

"This son, miss, do you need to make lanterns?" As soon as the hawker saw it, Song Moting and Rong Jiu felt that their temperament was extraordinary, and they hurriedly greeted them with a smile.

"Yes, yes! How? Rong Jiu asked excitedly.

"All the materials on this table can be used casually, and you only need to pay for the lantern after it is ready." Said the vendor.

"Let's make one too!" Rong Jiu looked at Song Moting expectantly, his eyes sparkling.

Somehow, Song Moting, who was obviously reluctant in his heart, actually nodded.

The production of lanterns was far more difficult than Rong Jiu imagined, although the boss had already prepared all kinds of skeletons, as well as lamp paper, and only needed to assemble them with some painstaking effort.

Song Moting watched Rong Jiu toss for a long time, but he didn't find the skills, so he was in a hurry, so he had no choice but to come to her side and snatch the lamp paper in her hand.

"You watch."

"Have you ever made lanterns before?" Rong Jiu looked at Song Moting's skillful appearance, and couldn't help but tilt his head and ask.

"Nope." He really hadn't done it, and it was fun but a waste of time for him.

"And how do you become so skilled?" Rong Jiu couldn't believe it.

"Yes."

Just two words made Rong Jiu speechless, but he didn't expect him to be a genius, and he never forgot it.

But the way he looks at things seriously with his head down is really handsome!

Rong Jiu swallowed his saliva, and was so obsessed with it that he forgot that he wanted to see how he made the lanterns.

"Alright."

Rong Jiu retracted her senses and looked at the lantern that Song Moting handed her, it was in the shape of a little rabbit, which was extremely cute.

"Wow! You're really amazing, do you want to give me this lantern? Rong Jiu took the lantern like a baby and looked at it carefully.

"This king is just doing it for you." Song Moting's brows furrowed slightly, and he methodically corrected Rong Jiu's words.

But Rong Jiu could listen to this, in her opinion, what Song Moting did in person was equivalent to what he gave her.

"It's time to start putting Kong Ming lanterns!"

I don't know who shouted, and the crowd suddenly began to be restless, and people put down their work and ran towards the other end.

"Let's go and see it too!" Rong Jiu proposed, without waiting for Song Moting to react, she lowered her head and muttered, "It's better to go and look somewhere, the good positions are all occupied by others." โ€

Song Moting looked at Rong Jiu with a bitter face, looking around anxiously, and felt a little unbearable in his heart, so he proposed: "There should be fewer people on the side of the lower arch bridge on the other side of the river. โ€

"Really, let's go over now!"

Rong Jiu's eyes lit up, and he looked at Song Moting's line of sight, there was really less flow of people, and the field of vision was very wide, and his heart was happy, and he hurriedly pulled Song Moting and wanted to forget about that side, but the flow of people was too large, and his movement was very inconvenient.

"It's not going to be okay!"

Rong Jiu was so anxious that he almost cried, if he continued like this, he was crowded in the crowd, how could he appreciate it!
