The crabapple tree is fragrant in the tent, and the bright moon is in my arms

After Ning Ruxin came out, Zhu Dingyuan asked a few questions and then ordered Huang Quan to send someone to pick up Concubine Qi.

Seeing that the queen looked unhappy, he said, "The queen has been working hard these past few days. Since the doctor said that you need to be taken care of, why don't you go back and rest now?"

The queen hid her forced smile and said, "I'm fine. I haven't left the palace for a long time. I want to join in the fun."

"Well, if you are not feeling well, don't be stubborn. Aunt Zhu, please serve the Queen well."

"Yes."

He turned to look at Zhao Yue and the others: "Shangqing City is surrounded by mountains and rivers. In addition to ordinary people, there are many flower farmers. In order to pray for a good harvest of flowers, they have the Flower Festival."

Ning Ruxin: "This is the first time I've heard of this, and I find it very interesting."

"This name sounds like a festival for scholars and writers. I've only heard of people wearing flowers in their hair and appreciating red flowers." Zhaoyue agreed.

Zhu Dingyuan laughed: "Huang Quan."

"They got up early today to bathe and worship the flower god. They can climb the mountain to enjoy the flowers. The noble men can also go boating on the lake. I heard there will be a "butterfly catching party". It will be even more lively at night. My lady, look at the lanterns outside. They are the lantern festival riddle guessing and the Hundred Flower Show, etc."

After Huang Quan finished speaking, Ning Ruxin couldn't help but jump for joy: "So many new things, I have only seen them in storybooks before."

She is the eldest daughter of the family and is about to enter the palace, so how can she show her face in public?

Zhu Dingyuan ordered someone to bring veils for her and the queen, and then the group left the Yaowang Temple.

Zhaoyue looked at the scenery outside the window with a dull expression. Only Ning Ruxin was in a good mood and actually talked to her several times.

The sun sets, the moonlight shines silvery, a crescent moon hangs far away in the sky, there is a long river in the city, lanterns dotted with candlelight shine like sparks, the people are lively and happy, the women wear beautiful clothes, place lanterns on the river, and wear their favorite flowers in their hair.

The Queen was also touched by the scene: "When I was young, I also liked to wear flowers in my hair. Your Majesty, do you still remember?"

"The queen is just weak, not old. Today I am just like I was back then, a lazy prince, and you are not the queen." Zhu Dingyuan casually took the flowers from the stall and handed them to the queen: "Try them, you may like them."

The queen was flattered, her eyes became moist after taking it, and Aunt Zhu put it on her.

Zhao Yue looked at Ning Ruxin in a flattering manner and said, "When your Majesty wears it, you will really look like a beautiful peony."

"You two, choose what you like."

Ning Ruxin chose the beautiful jasmine.

As Zhao Yue was thinking, Zhu Dingyuan had already picked up the crabapple and personally pinned the flower on her head: "I originally thought that you were like Yu Meiren, and like the splendid peach blossoms, but after thinking it over, I think the crabapple in your room is more suitable for you."

His narrow eyes were dark: "Gorgeous, very beautiful."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhaoyue stroked her hair.

"Call me Prince." Zhu Dingyuan took her hand and said, "Let's go over there and take a look."

When the Queen saw this scene, she glanced at Ning Ruxin. She had always thought that His Majesty liked Ning Changzai more, but now it seems that this is not entirely accurate.

"Your Majesty, look, what's over there..." Ning Ruxin looked calm as she took the Queen's hand and followed His Majesty's steps.

Concubine Qi also arrived here. She appeared in a gorgeous dress, but Zhu Dingyuan didn't even look at her. She was so angry that she walked at the end and stamped her feet in anger. Xiao He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty! These are your favorite shoes..."

Walking with Zhu Dingyuan, Zhaoyue saw the candied haws that he loved to eat as a child on Zhaoyue Road. He slowed down his pace and looked over: "What's wrong, do you like that cake?"

She was looking at a string of candied haws held by an old woman.

But what he had in mind was the exquisite pastry shop next to him. Zhao Yue's eyes darkened, but Zhu Dingyuan had already waved his hand: "Huang Quan, buy some."

But he did not ask Zhaoyue what kind of food she liked. He just put his arm around her waist and whispered lovingly, "Just tell me what you like. I will satisfy you today."

Zhao Yue smiled without reaching her eyes: "Your Majesty is so kind."

At the jewelry stall, Zhaoyue looked at a ring of emerald green bracelets and wanted to buy it.

Zhu Dingyuan frowned: "These are not worthy of you. If you need any jewelry, you can choose any when you go back."

He made no secret of his disdain for these things in his eyes. He was right. In the palace, even the maids looked down on such people. He was born in an imperial family, so how could he look down on them?

Perhaps Zhu Dingyuan was the only one who was happy to be strolling on this street, as the others who followed her each had their own thoughts.

As the fireworks bloomed, Zhaoyue looked up and took her hand down from Zhu Dingyuan's arm.

The Queen looked towards His Majesty, but he merely glanced at Zhao Yue and then looked up at the brilliant sky.

Ning Ruxin looked not far away and saw Yan Yang, who was wearing casual clothes, looking at her and then quickly looked away.

Concubine Qi also looked at Zhu Dingyuan, with sourness in her eyes, and glared fiercely at Zhaoyue beside her.

They were standing on the arch bridge when suddenly an exquisite flower boat slowly approached on the lake. There was a stage on it and a woman was playing the piano and singing.

They looked.

One of them was wearing a thin red skirt, and in such weather, she actually revealed a part of her snow-white waist and feet. She had exquisite anklets on her ankles, which made jingling sounds as she moved. She had a gauze scarf on her face, so her face could not be seen clearly, but her hair was flying, and her figure was soft and pleasing to the eye.

She wore many flowers in her hair, which she never dropped while dancing. The water was calm, but when the music became passionate, she kicked a drum into the water, and then jumped out to the cheers of everyone.

You can actually dance on drums in the water!

Zhao Yue secretly exclaimed and glanced at Zhu Dingyuan beside him. Zhu Dingyuan had a dark look in his eyes and stared at the dancer without saying a word.

The Queen frowned: "This is the folk Hundred Flowers Opera, which is just some low-class and decadent music. Your Majesty... It's getting late, let's go back first..."

"I'm not tired yet." Zhu Dingyuan interrupted her, a hint of impatience in his eyes.

Zhao Yue understood and said, "Your Majesty, I think that girl dances very well. Can you please ask that girl to dance alone?"

These words touched Zhu Dingyuan's heart. He asked Huang Quan to go find someone, and then took Zhaoyue's hand and said, "Are you feeling a little cold? Do you want some hot porridge?"

"Yes, there are some. Sister Ning, can you accompany your sister to the front to buy a bowl of hot porridge?"

Ning Ruxin nodded and left with her.

When the queen saw the boat coming back, she wanted to go in with Zhu Dingyuan, but he said, "It's getting late, the queen should go back and rest early."

Her face froze: "Your Majesty..."

"You are not in good health. The autumn dew has caused severe cold. Don't make your condition worse. Concubine Qi, send the queen back."

His words were cold.

The queen had to go back unwillingly. When Concubine Qi saw Zhu Dingyuan getting on the boat, she felt something was wrong, but she was powerless to stop him. She could only secretly curse Zhaoyue, saying that she was the same as that dancing bitch!

Zhao Yue naturally saw His Majesty board the boat. Ning Ruxin smiled and said, "Sister, you really have good eyes."

"If I didn't say it, my sister would have called the boat back."

"If it can make His Majesty happy, why not do it." She saw that Zhaoyue was not here to buy porridge, and yawned lazily: "Okay, His Majesty, you and I should stop standing here for a moment."
