At the beginning of August, King Jing's Mansion was busy.

Except for the opening banquet once that year, King Jing's Mansion has never held a banquet next to it, and the mansion has not been so lively for many years.

The housekeepers and stewards perform their duties, leading the people in the house to clean and repair the front and back yards, the roof and the house, from the inside to the outside and from the bottom to the bottom.

Even a litter of cats in the house that kept rats were caught and bathed one by one.

August 15, Mid-Autumn Festival.

The emperor was very happy, so that the harem concubines and civil and military officials all attended the banquet, and also set up a garden moon viewing party in the imperial garden, which was lively until the branches on the moon before the banquet was dispersed.

After Yu Zheng left the palace, he got into the carriage, but did not return to the palace, but went to Jiang's house.

When passing through the main street of Chongming, he heard the constant noise outside the car, and Yu Zheng lifted the corner of the car curtain to look out.

Unlike normal days, today's streets are brightly lit and still bustling with activity. The people carried all kinds of lanterns in their hands, guessing riddles in pairs, or a family went out to the street stalls, laughing and laughing.

Yu Zheng likes this scene very much, and the smiles on the faces of the people are the best proof of whether a country is strong or not.

The country is safe and the family is safe.

The carriage drove through the noisy street and turned into the secluded street near Jiang's house, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

After about the tea time, the carriage slowly stopped, and Chasing Yun opened the door.

"Master, it's here."

Yu Zheng got out of the car and walked towards the open door.

Chasing the clouds and chasing the wind followed him, one carrying a food box and the other carrying a lantern.

The porter led the way diligently: "Lord Wang, please come with the little one, the girl is in the garden to enjoy the moon." ”

The bright moon is in the sky, and the silver light is paved on the ground.

When Yu Zheng stepped into the garden by moonlight, Jiang Shu and the others were playing a blindfolded game.

Well, it was Jiang Shu's turn to catch people.

Seeing Yu Zheng, Jiang Ning had an idea, and made a silent gesture to Tanyu and the others, asking them to quietly retreat to the side.

"Brother, where are you? Why is there no sound? Jiang Shu, who was blindfolded, pricked up his ears to listen to the surrounding movements, and searched around with his arms outstretched.

"Sister, I'm here." Jiang Ning shouted as he moved in the direction of Yu Zheng.

Jiang Shu chased after him and crashed straight into Yu Zheng's arms.

The delicate nose bumped into Yu Zheng's tight chest, Jiang Shu, who was in pain, was a little dazed, Yu Zheng also snorted in a low voice, and subconsciously stretched out his long arm to wrap around Jiang Shu's waist to prevent her from falling.

Sensing that something was wrong, Jiang Shu's brain was excited, and he hurriedly tore off the blindfolded silk handkerchief and raised his eyes to take a look.

Apricot eyes on ink eyes, Jiang Shu was surprised and delighted.

"When did you come?"

Yu Zheng raised his hand to comb the broken hair on her face, and said slowly: "I was caught by you as soon as I arrived." ”

"Huh!" Jiang Ning couldn't listen anymore, so he went to the table to drink tea to relieve acidity.

Yu Zheng took Jiang Shu's hand and followed him over to greet Jiang's father and Jiang's mother.

"Lord Wang." Mother Jiang got up and saluted.

Although Yu Zheng will become their son-in-law soon, his status is too noble, and they have to be courteous whenever they want.

"No need to be polite." Yu Zheng sat down with Jiang Shu, Chaiyun put the food box on the table, opened it, and took out the contents inside.

It's a few kinds of palace snacks and a plate of picked crab meat.

Jiang Shu's apricot eyes lit up, and he took the small silver spoon handed by Yu Zheng and scooped it into his mouth.

"I'm going to eat it too." Jiang Ning took the white porcelain spoon for drinking sweet soup and dug a big spoonful.

There are also crabs on the dinner table of the Jiang family, and the sisters and brothers have also eaten them, but who can refuse a plate of crab meat?

Jiang Ning was not greedy, but deliberately took revenge on Yu Zheng for eating the shrimp he peeled last time.

Yu Zheng glanced at Jiang Ning and took in the thoughts written on Jiang Ning's face.

This plate of crab meat was picked by Yu Zheng at the palace banquet, one by one, little by little. He picked five of them to get such a plate.

Fortunately, Jiang Ning knew the sense of proportion and didn't dig a second spoonful.

"This is the dim sum and moon ball made by the imperial chef of the palace." Yu Zheng put a few plates of dim sum in the middle of the table and let Father Jiang taste them.

Jiang Ning was interested when he heard this, and he was curious about the difference between the dim sum made by the imperial chef in the palace.

Jiang's father and Jiang's mother had never tasted the palace food, so they all took a piece and tasted it.

"Well, it's delicious, it's even better than Jiuxiangzhai's." Jiang Ning was full of praise after eating one piece, and stretched out his hand to another.

Jiang's father and Jiang's mother also praised: "It's really delicious, and the things in the palace are really extraordinary." ”

Jiang Shu ate the crab meat on the plate, but his eyes were staring at the snacks on the table, wondering how delicious it was, so he asked them to praise them repeatedly.

Finally finished eating the last bite of crab meat, Jiang Shu put down the empty plate and took the pastry to taste.

Dragon whisker crisp, palace peach crisp, moon group.

Jiang Shu tasted them one by one, and felt that the moon group was a little sweet and greasy, the dragon whisker crisp melted in the mouth, and the peach crisp was crispy and slag. I can't say what the difference is, but it's a little better than the dim sum outside the palace.

No wonder they all say that all the good things in the world are in the palace, and it seems that this is true.

Jiang's father and Jiang's mother tasted a piece of it, said a few words to Yu Zheng, and went back to the house to rest under the excuse of being tired, wanting to leave some time for Jiang Shu to be alone with Yu Zheng.

But Jiang Ning didn't know how to be interested, so he was determined not to leave, saying that he wanted to enjoy the moon with them.

"Three people are more lively, right?" Jiang Ning pretended to ask for Yu Zheng's opinion.

Yu Zheng's ink eyes condensed, and he nodded against his will.

It doesn't matter, if he endures it for another two months, he will be alone with Jiang Shu every day.

Thinking like this, my heart suddenly became depressed. Yu Zheng waved his hand and presented the lantern that had been raised for a long time by chasing the wind.

"You did it?" Jiang Shu took the rabbit lantern handed by Yu Zheng, and looked left and right to see what he liked.

Yu Zheng coughed: "No, the craftsmen in the palace did it." ”

After a pause, Yu Zheng said again: "If you like it, we can do it together next year." ”

Next year, they will be able to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together and enter the palace to participate in the banquet together.

Eclipse the sun and sleep the night.

Gently chewing these six words, Yu Zheng felt sweetness in his heart and looked forward to it.

Jiang Shu and Jiang Ning didn't know what Yu Zheng was thinking, and the two got together to study the lanterns.

"Aren't the lanterns in the palace different from those outside the palace?"

Jiang Ning groped for the lantern with his hands, and I don't know where he touched it, the silhouette of Chang'e running to the moon appeared on one side of the rabbit body, and the silhouette of the Moon Palace appeared on the other side.

"Hey, it's different." Jiang Ning was very surprised.

Jiang Shu also felt the novelty, and beckoned Yu Tanyu to come forward and take a look.

Yu Zheng was a little surprised, he knew that they liked lanterns, so he took a few more from the palace, but it was a convenient thing.

Yu Zheng sat quietly for a long time, Jiang Ning finally had enough of playing with lanterns, yawned and left.

"You can enjoy it, I have to go to the academy tomorrow."

After Jiang Ning left, Luo Yu pulled Tan Yu and retreated a little further.

At this time, the full moon is like a disk, the silver glow is more and more abundant, the garden is bright and quiet, and the breeze makes a rustling sound of the leaves, as if playing music.

After sitting for a long time, the two got up and walked along the paths in the garden, talking softly as they went.

Suddenly, Jiang Shu remembered something, turned around and called Tan Yu to whisper a few words.

After hearing this, Tan Yu glanced at Chasing Yun and hurriedly returned to Shutong Courtyard.

Soon, Tan Yu came back at a trot, gently called Jiang Shu to the side, and quietly stuffed the things he brought into Jiang Shu's hands.

Yu Zheng's ink eyes twisted slightly, puzzled what they were doing.
