We agreed to save the world together, and you said you are the creator god?

"My brother drank so much wine, but his chess skills are still as good as mine. I am ashamed of myself."

Jing Anyu looked at the chessboard in front of him, the outcome of which had already been decided, and shook his head in dismay.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to be so self-deprecating. Your chess skills have improved a lot since last time. I think it will be easy for you to defeat me after some time."

"In that case, I would like to borrow my brother's good words."

Jing Anyu stood up and stretched, "I won't go down today. Although tomorrow is a day of rest for Qiqiao, it's not a good time to indulge yourself."

As Jing Anping was collecting the chess pieces, he suddenly recalled something.

"Your Majesty, you know... forget it."

"Brother, what do you want to say? Why are you so evasive? Just say it."

"Your Majesty, please do not be angry when you hear what I am about to say."

"No, just say it."

Jing Anping still found it difficult to control his curiosity, so he told him about his encounter with Rong Xin, who was dressed in men's clothing, and coming out of the casino.

Unexpectedly, Jing Anyu insisted on not believing it.

"Impossible. The Queen has always been dignified and virtuous, and advocates the Three Obediences and Four Virtues. She has always been loved by the Queen Mother. How could she do such a ridiculous thing as you saw? Brother, you must have recognized the wrong person."

"Your Majesty, Mu Yan was there that day. Even if I made a mistake, would she, who has had more interactions with the Queen than I did, also make a mistake?"

Jing Anyu was silent.

Although Rong Xin was his queen, his marriage with her was just a political one.

At that time, her father, Taiwei Rong Hongyi, held great power for policy reasons. The late emperor was afraid that he would be detrimental to the imperial power, so he ordered his daughter to marry him as the crown princess. Later, the late emperor passed away and he successfully ascended the throne. Naturally, she was canonized as the queen.

But he actually didn't like the queen very much. Every time he saw her, she always acted mature and serious despite her young age. It seemed that one could smell the smell of oldness and decay from her.

Ever since he ascended the throne, he has been busy with government affairs. As he has no interest in beauty, there has been no one in the harem. He has not been to her Changle Palace even once. The only chance for him to meet her is at various occasions where the emperor and empress must attend at the same time, such as tonight's family dinner.

Now, when he heard what Jing Anping said about the absurd things about the Queen, he just couldn't believe it.

But the reasons he gave were hard to refute.

After a brief moment of contemplation, he said, "I always value the facts I see with my own eyes. Now that I know about this matter, I will definitely investigate it thoroughly."

Jing Anping frowned for a moment. "Your Majesty, if this is true, what are you going to do? If the Queen is punished because of the topic I brought up in casual conversation, I will be blamed."

"No, I just thought that it might be nice if I could take this opportunity to see another side of the Queen that she has never shown me."

"This minister is relieved."

The next day, Jing Anping said goodbye to Jing Anyu and left the palace. He did not return home, but went all the way to the Duke's Mansion and found Feiying.

"Hurry up and get in the car and follow me."

"what?"

"Oh, don't ask any more questions, just get in the car."

Feiying got into the car reluctantly.

They went through the streets and alleys for several times before the carriage finally stopped leisurely.

"Here, get out of the car."

As soon as Feiying got off the car, the tall three-story flower boat docked by the lake in front of her attracted her entire attention.

"How about taking this flower boat to cruise the lake? It will definitely leave a super deep impression, right?"

"Isn't this... a bit exaggerated?"

"How could that be? This is exactly the effect we want. We don't have many chances to meet by chance, so we have to use strong medicine every time. Of course, in addition to the flower boat, there are other arrangements. You will know in the evening. Keep it secret for now."

Jing Anping looked very proud as he spoke.

As the night progressed, more and more people appeared on the street.

In order to make a fortune during the Qiqiao Festival, these vendors are trying their best to attract customers.

"Look, look, these are beautiful sachets and purses!"

"You two look like you are the young masters and young ladies of a rich family. Come and take a look at the calligraphy and paintings. Do you like any of them?"

"Would you two be interested in making porcelain by yourself? It would be perfect to give it to each other as a gift after it's done."

Feiying waved her hands from time to time in the face of their enthusiastic sales pitches one after another.

"No, no need."

"Brother and sister, buy some flowers."

A little girl came over with a basket of flowers, holding the flowers in her hands and asked them.

Feiying squatted down and touched her head: "You are so young and you are already doing business. Give me one. How much?"

"Five pennies."

She picked a light pink peony that matched the color of her skirt today.

After getting the money, the little girl smiled sweetly, bowed to them to thank them, and continued to sell her goods.

"Bring it here."

"what?"

"Flower, let me help you put it on. Do you expect me to be so clumsy that I might not be able to put it on even after a long time?"

"If you want to help, just say so. The word clumsy is redundant. To borrow your words, how come you, a good person, have a big mouth!"

Feiying pretended to be disgusted but still handed the flowers to him.

Jing Anping put the flowers in her hair.

"Perfect."

"really?"

"Why don't you believe me?"

"Well, since I don't have a mirror, I'll just trust you for once. I'm leaving."

When they were drawing sugar figures at the stall, Feiying's hand, which was pouring sugar water and outlining the shape, suddenly froze, and soon a big yellow dot formed where the sugar figure should be.

After Jing Anping saw it, he pointed at her drawing and laughed at her crazily: "I told you that you are clumsy and you don't admit it. Look at how ugly your drawing is."

Feiying picked up the sugar man, pulled Jing Anping's sleeve and left.

"Hey, Yinglan, what are you doing suddenly?"

Jing Anping just felt that she was suddenly inexplicable.

"Look, everyone is buying lanterns to set off. Let's go buy a couple too. I see there's a stall selling lanterns over there."

"You don't have to be in such a hurry to buy lanterns!"

"What do you know? If you go too late, the beautiful lanterns will be picked by others. What should you do?"

Feiying was deceiving him like this on the surface, but in fact, she discovered Zhuo Ran who was on patrol within the range of her spreading spiritual awareness, and he was heading in this direction. She absolutely could not let them meet him.

These vendors selling lanterns all chose to set up their stalls by the lake, and the styles of the lanterns were also varied.

Just when they were about to be overwhelmed by the choices, there was a commotion by the lake.

"What happened over there?"

Jing Anping went in search of the source of the sound.

Feiying immediately held a lantern in front of him and said, "Who knows, maybe someone's lantern is not placed firmly. How about this fish-shaped lantern?"

"That's good. Would the lighting of the lanterns cause such a loud commotion?"

"Who knows? People like to make a fuss."

Under Feiying's spiritual consciousness, a woman lost her balance while releasing a lantern and fell into the lake. She couldn't swim yet, so she jumped into the water and asked for help.

Zhuo Ran, who was patrolling near the lake, learned about the incident and rushed over to rescue her. The woman was no longer in danger.

On the contrary, Jing Anping must not be allowed to go to the lake now, otherwise he will definitely run into Zhuo Ran.

"Never mind that. I see the lanterns on that stall over there. They look pretty nice."

"No, I have to go and see."

"Hey, Jing Anping!"

Feiying shouted at him and quickly chased after him.
