It’s the Mid-Autumn Festival again, when the moon is full.
Lanterns flickered on the Royal Forest Mountain in the eastern suburbs, and luxurious carriages were lined up in an orderly manner at the foot of the mountain.
The lanterns throughout the Eastern Suburbs Imperial Forest echoed with the stars in the night sky, illuminating a brilliant scene.
The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Works had spent more than a month preparing for this royal matchmaking meeting. Starting with repairing the mountain road, they gradually built the fairyland of jade buildings that Emperor Cheng had requested.
The entire mountain road is built with corridors, so there is no need to worry about sudden rain in the mountains. The corridors are full of red lights, and from the capital, you can see a red light path rising up, as if leading to the vast stars. People in the imperial city are envious of it. Who doesn't want to participate in the royal "blind date conference"
Royal families from all over the country also returned to Beijing to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.
At this time, the Fu family also had a carriage parked in front of the door, ready to set off.
In Yao's room, Fu Minghui put on the new clothes prepared for him by Fu Mingsui, and he immediately looked elegant and handsome, unstoppable!
"Oh, third brother is such a heroic and handsome young man! He will surely charm all the girls in the mountains." Yi Jilan helped Yao to dress up Fu Minghui carefully. He felt a little proud of his achievements. Suddenly, he felt like he should have a child as soon as possible.
Mrs. Yao was so moved by her son's handsomeness that she cried.
Fu Minghui was also a little flustered when he saw Yao suddenly crying: "Mom, why are you crying suddenly?"
Yi Jilan knew it, so he put his arm around Yao's shoulders considerately and smiled at Fu Minghui: "Your mother is so proud~~"
After hearing what his sister-in-law said, Fu Minghui felt relieved and showed a proud expression.
Yao wiped away her tears and looked at Fu Minghui: "Mother is so excited. My child has grown up, strong and handsome. Now, mother is counting on you to find a wife so that mother can hold her grandson soon."
Fu Minghui smiled brightly, full of confidence: "Mom, your son will definitely bring the princess back to you tonight!"
"Oh! That's just bragging." Yao smiled unhappily, but she felt very proud in her heart. If her son could really marry the princess, it would naturally be in line with the master's wishes, and she would also become the princess's mother-in-law because of her son's status.
"Third brother, are you ready?" Fu Mingsui and Fu Mingrui also came to the door. Fu Mingsui was in casual clothes and he was more low-key today.
Fu Mingrui was even more low-key, wearing all black, just like the uniforms of the Eight Gates. Needless to say, one could tell from his clothes how reluctant he was to go this time.
Yi Jilan couldn't help laughing when he saw Fu Mingrui's clothes. This second brother, no wonder father would worry about his life.
Fu Minghui immediately went out, turned back and bowed to Yao: "Mother, the child is leaving."
"Okay, okay." Yao's face was filled with happiness.
Fu Mingsu looked at Yi Jilan tenderly: "I also made a nameplate for my brother-in-law so that he can contact the nobles in the capital. Do you really think you can't go?"
Yi Jilan smiled sweetly: "If I go, won't all the nobles in the city be jealous of you?"
"Hahaha—" Fu Mingsu laughed. He, Fu Mingsu, married the beautiful and intelligent Yi Jilan, which was indeed enviable to others. He and Yi Jilan looked at each other, and they admired and respected each other. Then, he turned around and took Fu Minghui to meet his father.
Yi Jixuan would go alone in a low-key manner and not go with them.
Fu Mingsu was chatting and laughing with Fu Minghui in the front, while Fu Mingrui was following behind, pulling at his collar and rolling up his sleeves. It wasn't that his clothes were uncomfortable, but that he felt uncomfortable all over because he was going to this blind date.
Even though he was wearing clothes that were almost the same as those worn by a guard, his appearance made it impossible for him to be low-key. This black outfit made him look more calm and mature, suppressing his delicate appearance and adding the majesty of the leader of the Eight Gates.
Yi Jilan understood what was going on when she saw him like that. She saw Fu Mingsu and the others walking away, so she hurried forward and called out to Fu Mingrui, "Second brother."
Fu Mingrui stopped and said respectfully, "Sister-in-law."
Yi Jilan took out an exquisite hairpin box and said, "Your elder brother asked me to buy this. Take it and give it to Miss Lian."
Fu Mingrui blushed immediately. His eyes fell on the hairpin box, and his heartbeat suddenly became disordered. He had never felt this way before, but at this moment, he was confused and fascinated just by looking at the hairpin box.
His elder brother was so considerate to him that he even prepared a gift for him. This time, he blushed even more, but he had never thought of giving a gift to Lian Youyou. He should really buy a gift as a thank you. Since Lian Youyou came, she helped him solve many strange cases and made him famous in the Qian Dynasty. But Lian Youyou hid her merits and fame and hid in the Nine Gates.
Yi Jilan smiled: "I heard that the Nine Gates will also come this time, let's go quickly. By the way, hide the hairpin box, and don't thank your eldest brother, he will be embarrassed."
Fu Mingrui blinked, put away the hairpin box obediently, and bowed to Yi Jilan: "Thank you, sister-in-law." He looked at Yi Jilan with gratitude, and when he turned and left, his figure was much lighter, and he no longer looked unwell as before.
Yi Jilan gradually put away her smile in the moonlight. In fact, after the case of "Aomei Tu", Fu Mingsu asked her to put away the hairpin and not give it to Fu Mingrui again. She felt that her husband had changed his attitude, from trying to match Fu Mingrui with Lian Youyou at the beginning to not wanting Fu Mingrui to have much contact with Lian Youyou in the end.
But during this time, Fu Mingsu paid too much attention to Lian Youyou. This naturally made the perceptive Yi Jilan suspicious. No matter how many concubines a man had, his heart must be with her.
Therefore, it is better to return Lian Youyou to its original owner, Fu Mingrui.
Yi Jilan smiled deeply again. To survive in this prime minister's mansion is not easier than in the business world.
The moon rises over the willow hill, and we make an appointment after dusk.
In the secret realm, bright moon lanterns also appeared today. Rounds of hazy full moons floated in the air, making the entire secret realm seem like a dream.
Everyone gathered around and fell asleep again. This time it was not Lin Tingjun and Lian Youyou, but Lian Youyou and He Shiqi.
That day really surprised everyone.
Lian Youyou rushed back and kissed the silly Aqi, which really made everyone's jaw dislocate. That day, it took everyone a long time to come back to their senses.
Now, everyone stood around the lotus pond again, because this time, Lin Tingjun placed Lian Youyou in the lotus pond.
In the center of the lotus pond, there was a huge white lotus as big as a bed, shining with brilliant golden light. The golden light was like a thread, and it entered Lian Youyou's nostrils. When Lian Youyou came back that day, her pale face had gradually turned rosy.
On the white jade bridge above the lotus pond, He Shiqi lay alone and pitifully, with no one to care for him. He was still in the same position today as he had fallen that day, even without a blanket on his body. (To be continued)
