Fireworks exploded one after another in the sky, just like the most gorgeous colorful flowers blooming in the air. Not only Su Yao was stunned for a moment, but Jinping and the other maids were also shocked.
Although they were from the Marquis' Mansion, they could only see fireworks during festivals, let alone so many and on such a large scale. They could not help but stare at them for a moment, everyone looked up, their eyes sparkling with the brilliant colors of the fireworks reflected.
Su Yao stood in front of the window, watching the gorgeous fireworks explode and then disintegrate in the sky, as if a gorgeous star rain was falling from the sky, almost like rain that was going to pour on people's faces. Even she, who was knowledgeable, couldn't help but be scared back a step by this scene.
The girls standing in the yard watching were already screaming.
Everyone was so excited that even Shen's mother forgot to react. After a long time, when there were knocks on the courtyard door, Shen's mother woke up as if from a dream. She ran to open the door as if realizing something. The courtyard door creaked open, and Xiao Heng stood at the door with a smile, saying softly, "Sorry, Shen's mother, call Yaoyao out for me."
In fact, this is against the rules. Fortunately, the palace governess has not arrived yet, otherwise, after seeing this scene, she would have at least given some advice.
But at this moment, Mother Shen didn't care about the rules. She was so happy that Xiao Heng could celebrate for Su Yao so thoughtfully that she nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes, I'll go right away."
As he trotted in, he still called out "Miss" with excitement on his face, and told her about how Xiao Heng was caught by Jinping before. He sighed and said, "Miss, His Highness must have come in to check the layout and location of the courtyard just now, wanting to make sure you can see the fireworks. He is so thoughtful!"
As I said this, I still felt a little emotional.
In fact, Su Yao's coming-of-age ceremony had already been celebrated. So many things happened this year that no one in the Su family even thought about Su Yao's coming-of-age ceremony.
By the time the imperial edict came down, Su Yao's coming-of-age ceremony had already taken place, so what was the point in arranging it? Not only was it meaningless, but it would also cause people outside to talk about her, saying that she was becoming frivolous even before getting married after becoming the Crown Prince's Consort.
Mother Shen didn't expect Xiao Heng to have such feelings.
In her opinion, status and identity are separate matters. What is rare is that Xiao Heng has this kind of heart. A person who can really do practical things for you is truly worthy of entrusting your life to.
Su Yao was also confused, with a bit of indescribable nervousness and joy. When he saw Xiao Heng standing at the gate of the yard, he was obviously even happier. However, when the words came to his lips, he didn't know why he changed his mind: "Why is it so extravagant? It makes too much noise."
Setting off fireworks is not an ordinary thing. Setting off so many fireworks will definitely alert the Five Cities Military Department and the Inspection Department. If they knew that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince setting off fireworks for his fiancée, how could he justify it
Xiao Heng smiled and reached out to ruffle Su Yao's hair: "You are young, but you always think a lot. Since I did it, I have naturally thought about it a long time ago. Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble!" He glanced at her again: "Why don't you wear a thicker cloak?"
The weather has turned cooler, especially at night, it's time to wear a cloak.
As he spoke, he took off his silver fox fur cloak and covered Su Yao with it, then said with a smile, "Okay, let's go."
This obviously meant taking Su Yao out, and Mother Shen was a little hesitant for a moment.
Xiao Heng smiled and said to Mother Shen and the others, "You don't all have to go, just let Jinping go with you. Don't worry, I know what to do."
He is His Highness, and since he said so, no one dared to refute or object. Mother Shen could only give Jinping some instructions and then watched them go out.
When he was about to leave, Su Yao saw Su Rong standing at the second gate and couldn't help but call him brother.
Su Rong smiled at her and said, "Have fun."
She knew that Xiao Heng must have discussed this with Su Rong beforehand, and turned to ask him inexplicably: "Where are you taking me? Why did you suddenly think of setting off fireworks for me in the middle of the night?"
Ever since the imperial decree granted the marriage, Xiao Heng no longer treated Su Yao the same way as before and would always scare her from time to time.
Su Yao was somewhat afraid of this change, but was also vaguely looking forward to it, and his feelings were complicated and indescribable.
Xiao Heng reached out to hold her hand, and waited until they got on the carriage before he whispered, "Today is the birthday of the Bodhisattva. There is a temple fair in Dongsi Hutong. I thought you had never been there, so I'll take you there."
In both his previous life and this life, Su Yao had indeed never been to a place like a temple fair, so he was somewhat surprised to hear that.
The carriage was moving very fast at first, and after passing a few streets, there was a lot of noise outside. Even through the carriage, Su Yao could hear all kinds of noises outside, including the hawking of vendors, the coquettish voices of girls, and the faint sound of a woman calling her child.
The fireworks of the world appeared so realistically before Su Yao's eyes.
She felt it was new and reached out to lift the curtain of the carriage. She saw that the front was brightly lit. Tall lanterns were hung on the trees everywhere, illuminating the streets as if it were daytime. There were also children running through the streets laughing, leaving behind a trail of laughter.
Su Yao had heard words like lantern festival and temple fair so many times that her ears were almost callused. But when she really came, she found everything new and interesting. Xiao Heng simply led her out of the carriage and walked with her on the street.
Sansheng followed beside him, a little worried: "Isn't this too unsafe?"
Although Xiao Heng himself is quite skilled, he is still afraid of the unexpected.
Xiao Heng happened to see a stall selling masks on the roadside, so he picked up two, put on the hungry wolf mask himself, and handed the white rabbit mask to Su Yao.
Su Yao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he still took it.
It's just a small mask, but after putting it on, I suddenly felt different in my heart.
No wonder people are different in front of others and behind others. It turns out that as long as you put on a mask and feel that no one knows you, many invisible constraints will be thrown away. She became happy, trotted forward a few steps and stood in front of a small stall selling food. She smiled and said to the owner: "What is this?"
The boss smiled and explained: "This is glutinous rice lotus leaf chicken. The outside is wrapped in a lotus leaf, and inside is glutinous rice wrapped in chicken. Would you like to try it?"
Su Yao nodded, and Xiao Heng had already reached out to take out the silver.
He was obviously prepared, and actually brought copper coins. He counted the money and handed it to the boss, then took the glutinous rice chicken and handed it to Su Yao, smiling and reminding: "Just taste it. When we play later, I will take you to the Jinxiu Building in front to eat delicious food."
