Chapter 41 Acquaintance

Princess Jiayi muttered: "What's the use of your personal bodyguard besides being good-looking? Can you protect you?"

Shu Yao didn't care: "It's not enough to be good-looking?"

She felt that Li Mingji was in line with her wishes, pleasing to the eye, and gentle and considerate enough. She couldn't find a second guard like this, and Princess Jiayi was just jealous of her.

Princess Jiayi: "…"

The two little ladies almost quarreled until they were young, and the queen mother bent her eyes and looked at them lovingly.

Lunch was served one after another. The Queen Mother’s taste was light, but today there were Shu Yao and Princess Jiayi in the imperial kitchen, and several more dishes were prepared and a full table was set.

The empress dowager picked up the chopsticks and took a few bites. She suddenly covered her throat and started to retching, which scared Shu Yao and Princess Jiayi:

"Grandmother (Grandmother of the Emperor)!"

The female official immediately stepped forward, held the empress dowager's shoulder, and helped her massage the acupoints, slowly eased her breath.

The Empress Dowager's face was a little pale and she forced a smile, "It's nothing. The Ai family just had a bad appetite recently. It should be that summer just passed, and she felt uncomfortable when she saw greasy and meaty fish."

Princess Jiayi felt very guilty: "I wouldn't have made this roast goose if I had known..."

"Of course not," the queen mother glared at her angrily, "It's you who come to visit Ai's family. Can the Ai's family still make you hungry? It's not a big deal. You can eat delicious food, just look at you."

Shu Yao and Princess Jiayi can only say good things.

I was worried about the Queen Mother's body, and I couldn't eat a meal. After lunch, the two of them accompanied the Queen Mother to take a walk in Yanshou Palace to digest food.

There was a pot of plants on the antique shelf in the Queen Mother's bedroom, which looked like orchids and had three blue-purple flowers. Shu Yao vaguely felt familiar and stared at the pot of flowers for a long time, "Grandma, what is this?"

"It was sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs some time ago. What's the name... Hanchun? It is said that it can transform happy knots and strengthen people's spleen and stomach. There is no mystery in a pot of flowers. The Ai family looks beautiful, so they put it here first."

The Empress Dowager smiled, "If Yaoyao likes it, Ai's family will send it to Huaxi Palace."

Princess Jiayi immediately responded: "Grandma, don't be biased, I have what Shu Yao has!"

"Yes, of course there is. What Ayuan wants, the Ai family will give you."

"Forget it," Shu Yao waved her hand, "I can't raise this flower, so I'd better keep it here for my grandmother."

She just looked familiar, where did she see it?

...

The moon will be the night before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Before the sky is dark, Shu Yao lets the pine needles and Chunrui dresses her up.

Today she changed into a rouge-colored pleated skirt, combed her bun, and put a moon flower gauze on her forehead. Even her embroidered shoes had a rabbit pattern. From a distance, she looked like a jade rabbit fairy walking out of the painting.

The pine needle has a pair of skilled hands, and the hair is tied very beautifully. The colorful clothes are brought to the pine needle's hands, as if they have been given life. Shu Yao is very satisfied with her look tonight. She carried her skirt and turned around in front of the bronze mirror, and called Li Mingji in, ordering: "The princess's hairpin is messy, please help me."

In fact, her hairpin was not messy at all, so it was not difficult to guess what she was thinking. Li Mingji symbolically helped her organize it, and suddenly said softly: "The princess is beautiful tonight."

A simple sentence came to his mouth, but it became a little more indescribable. Shu Yao's face heated up and she asked him: "When will this princess be beautiful?"

Li Mingji smiled slightly: "What the princess said is very true."

He naturally knew that the little princess had a stunning appearance. But what he liked the most was the little princess's eyes and her voice scolded him for being "unrestrained".

The Chunjiang Flower Moon Tower, which you will visit tonight, is one of the largest restaurants in the capital and an excellent place to enjoy the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival.

It is said that the owner behind the scenes of the Chunjiang Huayue Tower is a wealthy businessman in Yangzhou who is very business-minded. Originally, the Chunjiang Huayue Tower was just an ordinary restaurant where you can have a drink and a banquet. Huazhai jewelry and brocade silk were added to other floors, which were sought after by the noble ladies in the capital. Princess Jiayi is an old customer of the Chunjiang Huayue Tower. It is precisely because of this that Princess Jiayi received an invitation to the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Festival.

The Mid-Autumn Moon Club is a new event prepared by the Spring River Flower Moon Tower to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. The moon-watching platform on the top floor is open to guests for the first time. Guests can choose from poems, books, and paintings to record the grand scene tonight. The Spring River Flower Moon Tower will provide gifts to excellent works.

Shu Yao and Princess Jiayi have been used to seeing rare treasures since childhood. Although the gifts from Chunjiang Huayue Tower are generous, they are not enough to attract Shu Yao's attention. She didn't plan to participate. She watched Princess Jiayi running upstairs excitedly, so she had to follow her with her skirt and instruct Li Mingji behind her: "You can find a place downstairs to wait for us, and you don't have to follow."

Li Mingji nodded and said ok.

There were too many guests in the Flower Moon Tower in Chunjiang. After a while, Shu Yao could not be seen. Li Mingji took a few steps back and walked into a faint secret door. A man dressed in a shopkeeper met him and said respectfully: "Young Master."

Li Mingji nodded lightly.

...

The moon platform was filled with people. The maid spread the rice paper for Shu Yao and the other two. Princess Jiayi picked up the pen and wrote a poem "Spring River Flower Moon Night" on the rice paper in a scattered manner.

Although Princess Jiayi, like Shu Yao, was a problematic student that had caused trouble to Master since childhood, Princess Jiayi wrote good calligraphy, which was 70% or eighty-eight-eight-similar to Emperor Yong, fluent and elegant, and beautiful.

In this regard, Shu Yao, who has not made any progress in handwriting for so many years, is inferior to Princess Jiayi. Fortunately, she has learned a lot of skills from Li Mingji recently. Seeing Princess Jiayi being so excited, Shu Yao also ordered Chunrui to take paper and pen and start painting.

She painted the grand occasion of the moon-looking platform tonight. Time was limited, so she only painted the stacked eaves and the bright moon in the sky. As for the signature, Shu Yao thought for a moment and wrote the word "来".

Shu Yao was born on the fifteenth night and had a special emotion for the moon. Her name comes from "The moon is bright, the people are bright, the Shu Yao is staggering, the heart is quiet." Occasionally Shu Yao will fantasize that if the eldest princess Yongning was alive, she would probably use "Jiaojiao" as her small character.

After Princess Jiayi handed over the work, she looked around for a while and muttered in a low voice: "Why didn't you see Zhou Rong?"

This voice did not escape Shu Yao's ears. When he heard the strange name, Shu Yao blinked and said curiously: "Who is he?"

"I'm just a scholar," Princess Jiayi's face looked a little shy, "but he is talented and has created a set of calligraphy fonts. Tonight's Mid-Autumn Moon Meeting, he will definitely come to the Mingyue Tower of the Spring River."

As he was talking, Princess Jiayi was not calm yet and took Shu Yao's hand, "He may not be on this floor, let's go downstairs to take a look..."

Turning around, he ran into the two of them head-on. Princess Jiayi covered her forehead and took two steps back. Shu Yao pulled her over and looked closely. The boy in front of her was clearly Xie Yanzhou, and he was following him...

It's Shu Ningyou.
