Even Gardenia was taken directly back to the palace and banned for a month.

On the surface, it was to punish the previous sneaking away, but in fact, it was also to protect her in disguise, and it was not a good thing for a favored little county lord to be involved with the prince at this time.

The turmoil above the court didn't pay much attention to Gardenia, she only listened to the system report every day, and wrote a letter to Shen Nanqing from time to time.

By the time it was released again, it was already mid-July.

In the middle of July, the Midyear Festival, even though the capital was not stable, the emperor still granted permission to postpone the curfew for two hours, so that the people could pay tribute to the dead.

The wide streets are almost full of lanterns on both sides, and the river lanterns float on the river in the distance, and occasionally Kong Ming lanterns pass overhead, and it seems that only an orange color is left between the sky and the earth, bright and lively.

Gardenia sneaked out of the palace, picked by the stall, chose a ghost mask to wear, lowered his head and took out the silver taels from the money bag on his waist, and then was attracted by the sugar gourd shouting not far away, and swayed all the way.

Lily of the valley followed her, squeezing through the crowd with difficulty, her face shattered.

"Little ...... Miss, slow down, wait for the slave! ”

In addition to selling lanterns on the street, the stalls on both sides are naturally indispensable, and because it is in the most prosperous capital, in addition to snacks, silk, hairpins, there are many rare objects from other places, and even not far away there are dark-skinned young people performing fire-breathing, and people come and go on the street.

After squeezing for a while, Lily of the Valley gave up, stood on tiptoe and looked at both sides, choosing to go around to a place that sold sugar cakes and waited.

Sure enough, it didn't take long to see a little girl wearing a ghost mask and holding a sugar gourd and a sugar man in her hand.

Lily of the valley breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly stepped forward to hold her, which would not care about the difference between master and servant.

"Miss, don't run around anymore, be careful of being discovered."

Although there were many secret guards following, Lily of the Valley still felt that tonight would not go well, otherwise the atmosphere in the palace would not be so tense.

A few days ago, he ordered the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion to be a concubine for the prince, and he naturally suppressed the reason for the royal face, but the wedding date was approaching, and the three princes suddenly reported the prince and the young master, you must know that it has been rumored recently that the young lady of the prince's young master family is interested in the prince.

If you want to say what the people are most interested in, it is, of course, gossip, they can't tell what big people are, they only know that the relationship between these three people is very complicated, and all kinds of reasons have come out.

Gardena subconsciously turned her head, and then handed her the candy man in her hand.

"Here, this is for you."

After shoving it, he touched the ghost mask on his face and tried to struggle.

"I wore a mask and not many people paid attention to us."

“…… Miss, do you have any misunderstanding of yourself? ”

Thinking that many princesses and princes would also come to join in the fun tonight, the little girl frowned and reluctantly complied.

"Then let's go to the hotel."

Lily of the valley showed a relieved smile, for fear that she would regret it and pull people away.

If this kind of lively scene is there, it would be good if Miss Nanqing was there, and it would be able to stop the county lord of his own family, but the Prime Minister's Mansion is not stable these days, and the two have not been in touch for a long time.

Thinking of this, she remembered something.

"Miss said earlier that she wanted to bring some gifts to Miss Nanqing, do you want to arrange for the guards to send them to the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Gardena pondered for a moment and shook her head.

"No, let's go to the Prime Minister's Mansion at the end of the meeting, how long will the lantern contest start?"

Lily of the valley replied and looked into the distance again.

"I guess there's still half an hour."
