It was already past noon when Liu Rusi got up.

Although it was not proper to get up so late while staying in the palace, she was not worried about being criticized. Changning was still lying in bed...

The second time I stayed together with Fang Qiu and Chang Ning, we still chatted until dawn before going to bed... If the maid hadn't called them, they would probably have slept until the afternoon.

"Snapped!"

This time, Fang Qiu didn't shout twice. He just slapped Changning on the butt. It was a simple and effective way to wake him up. He just used it and it was done.

"You!" Changning gritted his teeth and got up.

After Changning finally finished, the three women came out to the side hall together.

The child who slept in the small room last night has already woken up and is chatting happily in the living room.

"No, every star is a sun! And many of them are much bigger than our sun, but they look small because they are too far away!"

*** leaned on the main seat and asked calmly, "How did you know?"

Qin Hao fell silent...

A noble lady laughed and said, "Children's wild imaginations are quite interesting."

Liu Rusi was extremely embarrassed. In fact, last night's lunar eclipse simulation experiment was conducted by a child, so most people thought it was just a joke, including Chang Ning and Fang Qiu...

Of course, since it was said by a child, just like looking at "two children arguing about the sun", no one would take it seriously or criticize it.

Not to mention how shocking it would be if, when the heliocentric theory was verified in the future, it was discovered that it was first proposed by a 15-year-old child.

For now, the women are more concerned about when they can leave the palace.

However, they could only wait. After all, the emperor had not spoken yet, and the men from each family were still staying in the front palace obediently. Fortunately, there was no worry about food and clothing in the palace, and food and drink were provided to everyone everywhere.

Unlike a large banquet where everyone has a table, there are a total of six masters and one child living in Yunxuan Palace, so a round table is set up to sit around, the food is prepared, and the women from each family can take their seats.

Last night, *** invited two noble ladies. One is the wife of Zong Ling, the head of the clan affairs office. Zong Ling is the cousin of the current emperor. Zong Ling is an official position, and according to the title, he is also the prince of Min. Therefore, Mrs. Zong Ling can actually be called Princess Min.

The other one was also of noble status, but his rank was somewhat lower than that of the first-rank imperial edict. Liu Rusi knew that she should sit in the last seat, so she waited until everyone else was seated before she took Qin Hao's hand and sat down in the last seat.

"Aren't we going to fight about this today?" *** teased.

Liu Rusi smiled awkwardly, knowing that *** was talking about the feast for a good harvest. If she had gone alone that day, she would not have cared about the seat...

*** snorted and laughed, "If you had never married and had children, you and Prince Duan would be a good match."

"My late husband treated me well when he was alive. It is my honor to marry him. The children I am raising now are healthy and safe, which is a gift from God." Liu Rusi responded gently, implying that she is very satisfied with her current marriage and childbearing status.

Princess Min asked, "After meeting a man as talented as Prince Duan, have you ever regretted not being an innocent unmarried woman?"

Liu Rusi paused and said softly, "I have many regrets, but I have no regrets about meeting Qin Lie."

The women at the table, young and old, all focused on the true feelings in her eyes...

*** couldn't help but ask: "If you really love your late husband, how can you accept other men being entangled with you?"

Liu Rusi was silent for a moment, and seemed a little dazed...

How could she consider accepting Chu Shiyu's?

It was that I suddenly realized that it was not an illusion that Qin Lie and I were inseparable. It turned out that he was really protecting me somewhere...

But for her, his family affection still prevailed.

How could Qin Lie bear to see his loved ones suffer? Compared to the possessiveness of love, what he didn't want to see was being trapped alone...

Is there a hell and reincarnation in this world? Is he wandering around in this world because he has something to worry about?

What about him? Is that place that she can't touch cold? Is he lonely...

She knew nothing, and she still had Qin Hao's responsibilities, so she couldn't selfishly pursue his whereabouts...

The appearance of Chu Shiyu did not conform to her original pursuit - she did not think that living alone for the rest of her life was a bad thing. In fact, she was a person who could enjoy loneliness.

Qin Lie should understand her, but in this era, it is more difficult to raise a child and it is more dangerous for a woman to live alone. Her condition must make him worried...

So, she decided to let it go, no longer resisting Chu Shiyu's approach, and give each other a chance.

Maybe, when she can embrace a new life, when she can live comfortably...

He can also let go of his worries, go to another world, and start a new life...

"It's true that I have feelings for my late husband, but the dead are gone, and my feelings don't need a chastity arch to express them," Liu Rusi said with a smile.

Several women have different looks...

After lunch, there was still no news that the emperor would let everyone leave the palace, and Defei, who had just taken charge of the harem, naturally took on the responsibility of entertaining the guests.

The harem held a tea party in the imperial garden, and every female guest staying overnight was invited, but at the same time, the palace maid who came to deliver the message was told that they could not go if it was inconvenient, giving the guests enough room to feel at ease.

There are many troubles in crowded places. After *** decided not to go, Liu Rusi also planned not to go. However, Defei specially asked the palace maid to send her a set of expensive Shu brocade dress, saying that she saw that she did not let the maid bring a change of clothes.

When some dignitaries and noble ladies attended palace banquets, they would ask their attendants to prepare a change of clothes. For example, the maids of the empress and Princess Min all brought some.

Liu Rusi naturally understood that this was Concubine De's intention to make friends.

Thinking that Concubine De had just taken charge of the harem and she was already an enemy of Concubine Xian, Liu Rusi felt that she had to go. Although the enemy of her enemy was not necessarily her friend, she could not offend Concubine De, and there was no harm in showing her support.

She changed into her dress, took her son with her, and together with Fang Qiu and Chang Ning, they followed the palace maids to the imperial garden.

It is Mid-Autumn Festival, and the garden is filled with beautiful autumn scenery.

The usually elegant chrysanthemums are piled up in this garden, and they are bound to compete for beauty.

Unlike the last banquet held at night, this afternoon tea party was held in a waterside pavilion beside Huaqing Pond, with women sitting around in scattered arrangements.

"I didn't see it clearly before, but today under the sun, I realized that Madam Liu is white and rosy even without makeup, and her face is as beautiful as a peach blossom." Concubine De smiled and waved, motioning Liu Rusi to come over and sit down.

"Greetings, Madam Defei. I am used to going out with a plain face on weekdays. I was just about to ask the ladies what kind of makeup is popular nowadays?"

Liu Rusi bowed politely and then walked over with a smile on her face.

"Isn't the red on Madam Liu's lips popular nowadays? But some people look like they have never washed their faces, with dark and yellow skin. It's ridiculous to imitate others." A noble lady giggled and glanced at a girl sitting in the corner, obviously teasing her.

Liu Rusi looked over after hearing this and found that some young women or girls in the pavilion had put a little rouge on their lips, but some of them also added powder as a base makeup...

She was so embarrassed that she picked her shoes with her toes. She just wiped them off in a hurry! Is anyone else learning this? !

And when she looked carefully, she saw that many women had tied colorful ropes in their hair, and some were even innovative and directly tied flowers with colored ropes!

Liu Rusi could only pray silently, hoping that they didn't care about the meaning of the widow's braid!
