During the Lantern Festival, the whole palace was filled with joy and peace.

Jing Zhou had prepared for leaving the palace early, and brought his attendants, guards, and even the imperial physician, and the secret guards were ready early. Jing Zejia was even more excited, and ran to Yuhua Palace early in the morning to wait, finally he could leave the palace.

Jiang Yun was wearing a red brocade gown with a golden cloud-like edge, a jade belt around her waist, and her long, thick black hair was tied up high with a jade crown. Her lips were as red as rouge, her skin was as white as cream, and she could make people fall for her with her every movement and stillness.

He just looked around aimlessly with his eyes, as if nothing could attract his attention.

After he was dressed, Lizhi brought a stuffed doll over to him, fearing that he would make a fuss on the way, and stuffed it into his arms, "My young master, be good, I will wait for you to come back."

Jing Zejia couldn't wait any longer, and stepped forward to hold Jiang Yun's hand, "Don't worry, I will take good care of Brother Jiang."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Lizhi smiled and then let go.

Jiang Yun was also obedient and let him lead the way. Jing Zhou was already waiting outside the door. After explaining something to her, he stood up, walked forward, put his arm around Jiang Yun's shoulders, and went out together.

The three of them first got on a sedan chair, and when they arrived at the palace gate, they changed to a carriage and then left the palace.

Jing Zejia was very excited all the way, but Jing Zhou was beside him, so he had to try his best to restrain himself. But he was a teenager after all, and soon he couldn't help leaning against the car window and looking around.

Tell Jiang Yun what you saw in a low voice.

Jiang Yun didn't react much when she heard him talking. She just tilted her head and looked at him. After thinking for a long time, she realized that he was talking about outside the car window.

They leaned over to look outside together, their heads touching each other. Jiang Yun didn't notice anything and stepped back to continue playing with the puppet in her hand.

Jing Zhou was afraid that he would hurt his nails by using too much force, so he held the person on his lap, whispered instructions, gently wrapped the small hand with his big hand, and tilted his head to kiss the person on the cheek.

Jing Zejia looked back and pouted his lips in displeasure, complaining in a low voice, "Father, please don't be like this. Brother Jiang doesn't like this."

"If you say one more word, I will throw you down." I would be really furious when my son said this to me.

",,,I won't say anything more." The poor little thing had no choice but to surrender.

The carriage drove along and finally entered the downtown area. Jing Zhou glanced outside and then looked at Jing Zejia, "Zejia, when we are outside, don't call me father, call me dad."

"Remember?"

Jing Zejia nodded and shouted happily, "Dad."

"Yes, get off the car."

"it is good."

Outside, Li Quan got off the car early, changed his clothes and waited, "Master, this area is very lively, let's go shopping here."

Jing Zhou nodded and jumped out of the car, first carrying Jing Zejia down and then Jiang Yun.

There were people coming and going on the street, especially those who were dressed in extraordinary clothes, which attracted people's attention. Jiang Yun obviously didn't like so many people. She kept hiding behind and even wanted to get on the carriage.

Jing Zhou half held the person in his arms and comforted him for a long time before he calmed down a little.

"Let's find a place to sit first and let Xiaoyun get used to it."

Li Quan nodded. He didn't often go out, so he asked Chen Feng to lead the way. The group avoided the crowd and went to a private room on the second floor of a restaurant.

The people in the restaurant were obviously startled when they saw them, but the shopkeeper reacted the fastest. He served tea and snacks, and took out the menu, saying with a smile, "It's almost noon, would you like to try our hot pot? It's best eaten in winter."

"It keeps you warm and warms your stomach, and removes dampness. We also have many varieties of hotpot, which will surely satisfy you."

Jing Zhou looked at the menu, which was rare. Usually, there were menu cards hanging on the wall. He looked up at the shopkeeper, then looked at the furnishings in the store, then looked at the person in his arms, and pointed casually, "Give me one serving."

Shopkeeper Lu smiled and nodded, "Does the distinguished guest have any dietary restrictions?"

"No, just serve the food and don't disturb us."

"Yes Yes."

Shopkeeper Lu quickly went down to the first floor and said to the waiter, "Order the luxurious mutton hotpot in the Plum Blossom Hall on the second floor. The side dishes cannot be sloppy."

As soon as the waiter made a note of it, Shopkeeper Lu immediately ran to the backyard and, without caring about anything else, pushed open the door. Jiang Rong was painting the wood carving inside.

"Brother Rong, stop applying it. Go home quickly and tell the uncle that the young master is in the store."

"What?" Jiang Rong stood up suddenly, not caring about anything else, and ran over to grab Shopkeeper Lu's arm, "Master, you said the Master is in the store?"

"Didn't they say they were going to Tianxianglou on the next street to watch the dragon dance at night?"

Shopkeeper Lu nodded, "Yes, it's in the Plum Blossom Hall on the second floor. Don't be impulsive. I think the young master doesn't look good. He didn't even recognize me."

"He is accompanied by General Chen, Lord Sun, and a half-grown child. I guess there are people from them nearby. Go tell the son-in-law not to be impulsive."

Jiang Rong nodded in agreement, tied his cloak, put on his cape, and walked out of the small door.

Unexpectedly, they would end up at Yuelaiju by accident. Jiang Rong felt heartbroken thinking that the young master was so close to him but he couldn't go to see him.

He ran all the way home and rushed directly into the study. Ling Yun was discussing something with Jing Chen when he saw him running in breathlessly. Ah Sheng hurried over and took him into his arms, patting his chest to calm down.

"Run slower and catch your breath first."

After patting him a few times, he poured him a cup of tea. After Dun Dun drank two sips, Jiang Rong felt much better.

"Hoo~~Hoo~~Master, Master is in Yuelaiju..."

"What?" Ling Yun and Jing Chen were shocked. This was completely different from the itinerary they had inquired about before.

"It's true. We're having dinner in the Plum Blossom Hall on the second floor. Shopkeeper Lu asked me to come back and tell you not to be too impulsive."

"General Chen is with them, so there must be officers and soldiers nearby."

Ling Yun nodded. General Chen should be Chen Feng. Now as long as they appear near Yuelaiju, they will be stopped and there may even be a conflict.

Jingchen pondered for a moment, "Jiang Rong, besides General Chen, is there anyone else?"

Jiang Rong finally caught his breath and nodded vigorously, "Lord Sun is here too, along with a young boy."

"A little boy?" Jingchen was a little confused. Could it be that he brought the prince out with him?

"Since Lord Sun is here, let's carry out everything as planned. Jiang Rong, don't go back, lest you arouse suspicion."

Jiang Rong thought about it and agreed, but his expression was a little unhappy, "The young master is so close to me, but I can't even see him, wuwuwu."

Ah Sheng came over and patted him on the back gently, "Don't be sad, everything will be fine once the young master is rescued."

"Yeah." Jiang Rong wiped his eyes and nodded. Now was not the time to cry.

"By the way, Shopkeeper Lu said that the young master didn't recognize him. It's only been over a year since we last met, so the young master shouldn't have failed to recognize him."

Ah Sheng hugged his head tightly and pressed it into his arms, preventing him from seeing the ugly expressions of the other two. "The young master is a little face-blind, you know that, not to mention that you haven't seen him for more than a year."

Jiang Rong was hugged by him and didn't think about it any more. "Indeed, the young master is a little confused sometimes, and Yuelaiju has added a lot of things. It's normal that he didn't recognize it."
