Chapter 13: The Beginning of the Moon

It's autumn in the blink of an eye, and it's the time when the weather is cool. It's time for the children of the aristocracy to vent their "blood" every year.

"What? Tomorrow, the emperor will hold what kind of entertainment activities? Li Muyuan looked at Zhu Changxun in surprise.

"Well, tomorrow is the August meeting, and all the noble children in the capital will go at that time, and even the emperor will come in person like the emperor in previous years." Zhu Changxun replied calmly.

"Pack up and come with me tomorrow."

"Oh... Good. Li Muyuan nodded, got up to say goodbye to Zhu Changxun, and went back to her room to clean up.

……

The August meeting, popularly known as the Mid-Autumn Festival, can also be called the Daughter's Day and the Moon Festival. Because it coincides with the half of the three autumns, it is called the Mid-Autumn Festival in August.

Nowadays, August is one of the most important festivals along with New Year's Day. The original activities of the Mid-Autumn Festival include traditional customs such as eating moon cakes, admiring the moon, worshipping the moon, and offering rabbits.

In the later years of Emperor Wanli, in order to let the princes and grandchildren exercise more, he set up more entertainment projects such as shooting, juju, playing polo, and throwing pots, which young people love.

This multi-plus custom has gradually become popular, and in addition to the children of the royal family, some outstanding children of the nobility can also join, and now this year, the number is only increasing.

Li Muyuan used to play Keju with her brother when she was in the house, and she won her brother every time she threw the pot, as for playing polo, she only saw her brother play with those classmates when she was wearing men's clothes. At that time, my brother was majestic and cool, and he was so unhappy with a hot sweat.

Her eyes darkened again. Now it's a thing, and last year my brother took her to play in August. At that time, when my brother came home drunk, he still carried two lotus paste-flavored mooncakes in his arms, saying that they were her favorite mooncakes.

She took a slow breath and spit it out softly, but she didn't stop digging through her hands to find the clothes she was going to wear tomorrow.

Tomorrow there will be some women, although there are also some girls with small feet, but there are also many noble officials who do not want their daughters to suffer this crime, and there is such a cheerful and lively festival every year, so in recent years, the custom of foot binding has gradually become a little less.

And adults want to naturally have one more layer, and many talented and beautiful people will come in August, if you take advantage of this two families to get married, this is also a very suitable festival.

Suddenly, Li Muyuan was stunned and found the washed and clean clothes that had been put away in the package when she first arrived at the house a few months ago.

Her fingers trembled as she picked up the crumpled blue shirt. After some thought, I decided to wait for the August meeting to come back and bury it properly.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Muyuan simply wore a man's dark red narrow-sleeved shirt over the white plain clothes, and tied it tightly with a strip of cloth of the same color on her head, trying not to let the broken hair on her forehead fall off.

When they met Zhu Changxun, both of them were stunned.

I saw that Zhu Changxun was also wearing a dark red wide-sleeved shirt with excellent drape today, and at first glance, it seemed to be similar to the clothes worn by Li Muyuan, but the quality and style of the clothes were much better than the one on Li Muyuan.

"Hehehe... Lord, what a coincidence. Li Muyuan said dryly.

Although Zhu Changxun's face was calm, his hands gradually clenched, and he still said to her mercilessly: "You go and change the set." ”

Li Muyuan had to run back bitterly and change into a more ordinary black regular clothes, Zhu Changxun saw that she was so obedient, so he praised Li Muyuan perfunctorily: "You wear black more pleasing to the eye." ”

This sounded, and I thought Zhu Changxun was thinking about her. Li Muyuan knew that this person had always been like this, and she didn't refute anything anymore, and said yes with a dry smile.

The prince arranged all the attendants, and then served the prince and got into the carriage. I saw Sheng Bo next to Zhu Changxun riding a tall horse today, and he was greeting her with a smile.

"Miss Li, I'm really embarrassed about what happened last time, it's all because I didn't ride a horse and bring an umbrella that day, or next time..."

"No need, no need, I don't think I'll be so idle when I come to Genshu, next time I'll just go by myself." Li Muyuan hurriedly refused.

"That's not going to work, you'll have to ask that stinky boy to treat you to a meal. Alas, I also entrusted the blessing of the prince before, so that Gen Ji mixed up a small position in the brocade guard the year before last, and today's Mid-Autumn Festival, this kid can't wait to take the first step. Sheng Bo said, slapping his thigh as if he hated iron not becoming steel.

Although the father and son do not look very similar, some actions and enthusiasm are exactly the same.

However, what Sheng Bo didn't know was that Zhao Genshu just didn't dare to face his "true destiny" at the moment, so he said hello to the little girl early in the morning and ran away.

"Miss Li, the prince told you to stop talking, the hour is almost here, you, let's get in the car with the prince first." At this time, the prince just jumped out of the carriage to greet Li Muyuan.

It may be that he has eaten a little better in the past few months, and his figure has a faint phenomenon of fat, and when he came down, he saw that the meat that had increased a circle was also shocked, and he looked very happy.

"Okay, Princess." Li Muyuan responded, first said goodbye to Zhao Sheng briefly, and then relied on a light suit and jumped into the carriage.

After entering the carriage, I saw Zhu Changxun still so casually and comfortably leaning sideways to rest on the soft sleeper. Sensing the movement of her flipping into the carriage, his eyes were slightly open to look at her.

"You are a woman, how can you jump up and down like a monkey."

When Li Muyuan saw him say this, she asked in a low voice and in confusion: "Is it because the slave and maid are making too much noise about the prince?" ”

Seeing that he acquiesced, Li Muyuan touched her head and said embarrassedly: "Then next time, the slave maid should try to move softly." ”

……

The carriage didn't shake much along the way. The August Festival has always been held at the royal racecourse, which is indeed a bit far away from the Fugong Palace.

Li Muyuan knelt on one side and dozed off in a daze, while Zhu Changxun on the opposite side opened his eyes at some point and was looking at Li Muyuan for a moment.

I saw that the girl in front of him was dressed in black, and her eyes, which were always full of aura, opened and closed in a daze at this time, obviously a little sleepy.

Oh, after all, she's still a seventeen-year-old yellow-haired girl.

Even when there was no clue about the bloody case of the family, she was never upset; Even when he pushed her into the limelight without mercy, she didn't complain.

But now, in this carriage with only two people, she seems to have taken off all her precautions and rested in peace. Zhu Changxun only felt a slight movement in his heart, and his eyes that looked at her were quietly dyed with a layer of pity.

As the carriage stopped, there were more and more people outside the carriage. "Lord Wang, I've arrived at the horse farm." The prince stood outside the window at this moment and whispered into the carriage.

Zhu Changxun hummed, and seeing that the girl hadn't woken up yet, he lightly deducted a few or two sounds.

Seeing Li Muyuan waking up slowly, he got up and got out of the carriage.

When she got out of the car, she saw Li Muyuan's face was quite red. He asked curiously, "What's the matter, but it's too cold?" ”

Li Muyuan hurriedly shook her head, but her face burned more and more red.

Seeing that she fell asleep in front of a man, she was still woken up by him, and when she thought about such a humiliating scene, she only felt that her face was burning hot, and she wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Suddenly, she heard Zhu Changxun's words of concern, she only felt that her face burned even hotter, and she couldn't even speak, so she hurriedly shook her head.
