Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

After finishing their meal, Xiao Zuochen and others went to the market for shopping. They met other officials with their children everywhere on the street. However, since it was a festival today, people did not have so many formalities. Just nodding and bowing was considered a greeting.

"Your Highness Prince Yun, you see that almost all the officials have beautiful wives and concubines by their side, and some are already engaged in pairs. Even your guards have beauties by your side. Your Highness, you are not young anymore, why don't you find a princess as soon as possible? You spend all day with men, and the ministers in the court are quite dissatisfied with you."

As Teng Sen spoke, he reached out and pulled Liuli to his side. Liuli stomped on his foot hard, glared at him, and moved towards Yun Qian.

After hearing what Teng Sen said, Yun Qian knew that he was talking about herself and Yun Feng, and she was still very happy. However, although Yun Feng gave in to her in everything, he also kept a distance from her.

Xiao Zuochen was very curious.

"What did those ministers say? They wouldn't say that I have a relationship with Long Yang, right~"

Although Xiao Zuochen had no women around him, they must have heard about the rumors that he roamed around in various brothels. There were even ministers who wanted to impeach him!

"That's not the case. After all, His Royal Highness Prince Yun has been to many romantic places. It's just that everyone suspects that His Royal Highness Prince Yun is not very good, so they just watch him but don't marry him~"

"Well, it's the same old thing as expected."

Xiao Zuochen nodded, feeling that there was nothing new in the ministers' remarks. Anyone who did not want to marry would use the same excuse.

"Your Highness Prince Yun doesn't care?"

"It doesn't matter. No matter what they say, you still have to bow to me obediently when you see me."

Everyone was speechless. Normally, Xiao Zuochen would not show off his airs to the King Yun, but as soon as he met any outsider, he would immediately put on airs.

People strolled around aimlessly, admiring the newly hung lanterns on both sides.

"Young Master and Young Lady, come and choose the jewelry you like for your loved ones!"

The sound of a shop owner shouting came from not far away. Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw a large crowd of people gathered there.

"Go and see?"

Chu Yao instantly became interested.

"It's just a piece of jewelry, why are there so many people around?"

Seeing that Chu Yao had already squeezed in, Xiao Zuochen had no choice but to move forward.

"Sir, since you are so handsome, you must have many suitors. Do you want to pick one and give it to the girl you like?"

Seeing that the stall owner was talking to him, Xiao Zuochen smiled and shook his head at first, but suddenly he thought of something and asked the owner how to make this thing. Because he looked at the jewelry on the table, none of them was complete, and the people around him seemed to be holding those different parts to piece together something.

The boss patiently explained to Xiao Zuochen, and everyone else followed suit.

Liuli understood that this was a modern DIY workshop as soon as she heard it. She didn't expect that there were people who knew how to do this in this place. So she helped the boss explain it to others, and Yunqian and others also joined in the production.

“This is quite fun!”

Yunyou has followed Xiao Zuochen and has seen all kinds of treasures, but this is the first time she has seen jewelry made by herself.

"Make one for me!"

Yun Qian also urged Yun Feng.

The only one who needed to be stopped was Teng Sen. Liuli kept saying she didn't want it, but Teng Sen insisted on doing it for her, and he made it look extremely ugly.

Chu Yao didn't have any woman he wanted to give as a gift, but when he saw Xiao Zuochen quietly putting on a bracelet, paying for it, and silently putting it into his clothes, his curiosity suddenly arose again.

When did Xiao Zuochen find a woman he wanted to give a gift to?

He thought about it for just one second, and the next second he immediately asked.

"Who is this for?"

Chu Yao pointed to his arms, and Xiao Zuochen understood what he was talking about.

"An important person."

"woman?"

Xiao Zuochen rolled his eyes at him.

"Of course, how about giving it to a man?"

Chu Yao frowned. He really has a lover!

"Just take it with you~"

On the left, Teng Sen is coaxing Liuli.

"Bring it to me quickly!"

On the right, Yun Qian was yelling at Yun Feng.

Only Yunyou and Yunwei are considered normal.

"it is good!"

"Good~"

At this time, a float came from a distance. There was a small bridge on the float. At both ends of the bridge stood a man and a woman who were carefully dressed up. There were two little flower girls behind the man.

"Is this... the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl?"

Liuli could tell at a glance that this was the only kind of attire used during the Qiqiao Festival.

"Well, it is said that the ancient Emperor of Heaven's granddaughter, the Weaver Girl, was good at weaving and wove colorful clouds for the sky every day. But she hated this boring life, so she secretly came down to the mortal world and secretly married the Cowherd from Hexi, and lived a life of the man farming and the woman weaving. This angered the Emperor of Heaven, so he captured the Weaver Girl and brought them back to the Heavenly Palace, ordered them to separate, and only allowed them to meet once a year on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. Their steadfast love moved the magpies, and countless magpies flew over and used their bodies to build a magpie bridge across the Milky Way, allowing the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl to meet on the Milky Way."

Teng Sen said this and looked at Liu Li again. Liu Li was looking at the people on the float with great joy and was waiting for their performance. But when she heard Teng Sen talking to her, she immediately changed her expression.

"This story tells us that women should not only think about men. In heaven, the Emperor of Heaven asked her to weave cloth. When she came down to earth, the man also asked her to weave cloth. Moreover, when she came down to earth, she not only had to weave cloth, but also had to take care of the man and the children. Isn't this asking for trouble?"

"How could that be? The other person is the one she truly loves, so she is naturally willing to do this. But the rules and regulations in the Heavenly Palace are all constraints, so naturally she is unwilling to do it."

"Love brain!"

Liuli said this and turned to leave. Although Teng Sen didn't understand what she said at the end, he immediately followed her.

"I'll take you back!"

The people on the floats continued to perform the love story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.

There were also acrobatic performances at the market, as well as performances showing other personal skills, but Xiao Zuochen had woken up early in the morning and was already feeling a little sleepy.

"I'm going to go back. If you guys want to play for a while, you can play for a while. I'm going to go back first."

Xiao Zuochen told Yun Wei and the others that he wanted them to relax tonight.

"master..."

"It's okay, you don't have to send me off. There are so many people coming and going on this street, is there anyone who can kidnap me?"

"Yes, my subordinates know."

"It's okay~ I'll go back with him. Yixing, if you want to play for a while longer, just join them."

Chu Yao also said that he was tired, so the few of them separated, and Xiao Zuochen and his companions went back first. Just as the two of them walked out of the East Market, there was an old woman begging in ragged clothes at the door.

"Please be kind, young master~"

It was too dark, and Xiao Zuochen didn't look closely at the old woman's appearance. He took out the silver from his sleeve and threw it to her. But he was shocked the moment he glanced at her. The wooden hairpin on the old woman's head was exactly the same as the one in the portrait they were looking for!

Xiao Zuochen did not say anything. If he told her his identity directly, she might not follow him. But if he took extraordinary measures... Xiao Zuochen looked at both sides. It was not suitable to take action now with so many people coming and going. It seemed that he had to wait. He explained the reason to Chu Yao, and the two of them hid in a corner and waited for the opportunity.

But today was a festival, and there was no need to attend court tomorrow. Most officials took advantage of this rare holiday to have fun with their families, and there were people coming and going all the time. The old woman was really patient, and she didn't plan to go home until the second half of the night. Xiao Zuochen and Chu Yao almost fell asleep.

"Quick! Get started!"

Xiao Zuochen urged, and Chu Yao dodged and quickly caught the old woman's falling body and carried her back. The passerby who just passed by felt a cold wind blowing behind him, turned his head to look, but found nothing, and continued on his way.
