Chapter 214 Tonight is lively, grand and romantic.
The emperor took a look and saw that when Rong Pei was retreating, he panicked, missed a step, and bumped into Ruyi.
Jingse watched it closely from behind and sneered out loud.
"My Queen Mother, please take good care of the people around you."
Jingse's phoenix eyes fell on Rong Pei, with profound meaning.
Ruyi didn't realize anything. She thought Jingse was making fun of her on purpose. She said to Rong Pei with resentment:
"Watch the road carefully. The Emperor is still here."
Ruyi was looking coquettish, probably because she was unhappy that Rong Pei was embarrassing her by her side.
The emperor laughed indifferently.
"Nothing, let's go."
The Emperor had glanced at Rong Pei countless times tonight. Ruyi hadn't noticed any of them. Rong Pei was extremely embarrassed. She tried to walk more slowly so that the Emperor wouldn't pay too much attention to her.
The more Rong Pei acted like this, the more the emperor cared.
When I talk to Ruyi about the beautiful scenery of Mulan Garden, I look at Rong Pei. When I cite classics and praise the moonlight tonight, I look at Rong Pei.
Even when they were chatting about family matters and casually mentioned what was for dinner, the emperor would still look at her.
Just watching was not enough for the emperor, he also made demands on Rong Pei.
"When the Queen mentioned the plum blossom fragrance soup, I thought of the lotus cake in your palace, which I haven't used for a long time. I wonder if I can have it tonight?"
Hibiscus pastry is the pastry that Rong Pei is best at.
When Ruyi heard that the emperor was concerned about the food in her palace, she spoke softly.
"It turns out that the Emperor is thinking about the cakes in my palace. I thought the Emperor was thinking about me."
There was a hint of anger in Ruyi's eyes, angry that the emperor was not thinking about her, but only about her food.
Yongqi and Yongji had just met with accidents, but Ruyi didn't feel any concern or guilt in her heart. She was only thinking about love. If it weren't for the cover of night, the emperor's impatience would have been revealed.
The emperor suppressed his anger.
"I miss your things, not just you."
The emperor blinked his long eyelashes and glanced at Rong Pei again and again.
Rong Pei really couldn't help it this time, so she simply turned around while the wind was strong.
The emperor always tried to coax Ruyi, and his words were always answered correctly.
Ruyi was already dizzy with happiness. She pulled the emperor and tried to lean on his shoulder.
"This is not easy, Rong Pei, go and make some lotus cakes quickly, so that the emperor and I can enjoy the scenery."
The emperor looked at Ruyi who was about to approach him, and could vaguely see a huge bald head sticking out towards him because her hair was combed too high.
It's really not reliable, leave quickly.
"Nothing, I'm hungry, I'll go eat something else first."
Ruyi was disappointed and dazed for a moment. Hearing that the emperor was hungry, she had to continue moving forward awkwardly.
Rong Pei was restless, and the emperor was always looking at her. She had no interest in making pastries. The most annoying thing was that Ling Yunche was always waiting outside.
Judging from the situation, Ling Yunche will not leave unless De Rong Pei speaks up tonight.
Rong Pei could only hope that the Emperor and Ruyi would settle down earlier tonight, and she would serve inside, at least hiding from Ling Yun for the whole night.
Rong Pei was so distracted while picking up the cake that she didn't pay any attention and mistakenly sprinkled a handful of salt on the hibiscus cake instead of sugar.
A quarter of an hour later, the hibiscus pastry was ready. When Rong Pei was about to try the flavor, the little palace maid inside urged her.
"Aunt, is the lotus pastry not ready yet?
The Queen is calling for help."
"It used to take Auntie less than a quarter of an hour to make the cakes, but it took her a little longer today."
The flour used for making daily pastries had already been prepared. Rong Pei didn't have much to do, and she was really delayed tonight.
Thinking that the emperor was just looking for an excuse to stay at Ruyi's place, Rong Pei simply didn't try it and left with the lotus pastry.
"Bah, Rong Pei, why are today's pastries salty?"
Ruyi took a bite of the dessert and spat it out. Her reproachful eyes fell on Rong Pei.
"It was my fault."
Rong Pei hastily admitted her mistake, and the emperor's playful look moved around Rong Pei for a few times. He still held a piece of cake in his hand. He didn't spit out the rest in his mouth.
"Empress, it's a rare opportunity for me to try something different. I think it's pretty good."
Rong Pei's ears turned red. The emperor refused to take his eyes off Rong Pei.
Ruyi was completely focused on the cakes.
"Forget it. I don't know what happened to you tonight. Don't serve here anymore. Go down."
Ruyi threw the cake back to the emperor, who was eating it with great interest. Ruyi reached out and took the cake from the emperor's hand.
"Your Majesty, please don't eat it. I will make you a new one when I have time."
The emperor dropped the cakes reluctantly.
Rong Pei walked out of the tent with a red face, her heart beating very fast, but she couldn't let her guard down because Ling Yunche was waiting for her.
Rong Pei looked around carefully, but surprisingly did not find Ling Yunche.
On the other side of Mulan Paddock, Yan Wan settled the Fifth and Eighth Princes, while Jinzhong was already waiting anxiously on the side.
As soon as Yanwan sat down, Jinzhong went over and massaged her legs.
Yanwan usually likes to use jasmine water to nourish her hair. When Jinzhong sits next to her, the fragrance lingers in the air.
"Master, you must be tired of doing these dirty things. I have prepared something good for you."
Yanwan turned her body slightly, and Jinzhong realized that the side Yanwan turned to was uncomfortable, so he started to pound it harder.
Yanwan felt much more relaxed.
"Look at the new things you have prepared."
When Yanwan was about to leave, Jinzhong quickly moved from behind the chair to the front and extended his hand to support Yanwan.
Under Jinzhong's guidance, Yanwan saw a grand bonfire party.
Princes of all ethnic groups, as well as royal relatives and nobles, were all singing and dancing in front of the grand fireworks.
The melodious sound of the horse-head fiddle, the strong figure of the Mongolian man, and the unrestrained smiles on everyone's face.
Everything is so fresh and full of vitality.
If you look up, you can see the stars in the sky and the fireworks on the ground shining together. The night has never been so beautiful.
Yan Wan could not go because of her status as a concubine, so she thought it was enough for her to just watch the excitement from afar.
Yanwan laughed unconsciously, her laughter was unbridled, flamboyant, and powerful.
Jinzhong, who was standing behind him, was satisfied and happy.
Yan Wan was still immersed in this vitality when she suddenly heard a loud noise in the sky, and then saw a beautiful firework box blooming in the sky.
"Fireworks box?"
Yanwan asked Jinzhong excitedly.
Yanwan's family was in decline, but they still lived in the capital. Every festival they would hear people setting off firecrackers a few streets away. Her father and mother had taken Zuolu to see it, but had never taken her.
"Colorful flowers bloomed in the night sky, blooming and fading one by one. One by one."
This was Yanwan's imagination based on what Zuolu said. She had never seen it before. This was the first time.
"It turns out that the fireworks box can hold fireworks for a long time, instead of going out in an instant."
Yanwan asked Jinzhong excitedly.
Jinzhong nodded silently and looked at Yanwan with heartache.
He understood how miserable it was to not be loved by his parents, to have never seen the world, and to have no idea of the misery.
When Yan Wan was moved to tears, a hand suddenly fell on her.
He took her by the hand.
Chunchan and others brought by Yanwan stood outside them tacitly without any discussion at this moment.
Tonight is lively, grand and romantic.
