The princess is so powerful that the fish pond is full of people

Dusk has completely enveloped the earth, and bright lights are blooming in every corner of the capital, making the capital's busiest streets look like a dream.

"Your Majesty, I want to eat the squab from Wangjiang Tower and also go to the river to light lanterns."

Li Yu'an had been in the palace for some time, and now that he was out of the palace, he missed everything he saw.

"Okay, it's up to you."

There were too many people releasing lanterns by the river now. Liang Chongyue took Li Yu'an to stand on the bridge and watch for a while, then took him to Wangjiang Tower.

The two of them did not deliberately use veils to cover their makeup. The moment Mo Youqian, the shopkeeper of Wangjiang Tower, saw His Majesty, his originally straight back instantly bent down. He put down the accounts he was handling and greeted him respectfully.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, I will have someone clean the No. 1 private room."

The private room No. 1 has always been reserved for Liang Chongyue and the Xiang family. It is cleaned every day and is not very dirty. Liang Chongyue nodded silently to the shopkeeper and took Li Yu'an to the top floor through the secret door at the back.

Today is the Qiqiao Festival, and the streets are full of people. Wangjiang Tower is also packed. Liang Chongyue just wants to have a good time with Li Yu'an and does not want to be disturbed by others today.

"Your Majesty, this is the menu. The first page contains the latest updates. Would you like to try them all?"

Two menus fell into the hands of Liang Chongyue and Li Yu'an. When Liang Chongyue casually flipped through them, Li Yu'an had already ordered all the dishes.

Hand the menu to His Majesty:

"Your Majesty, I have ordered everything. Your Majesty, please tell me if there is anything else you would like to order?"

Liang Chongyue closed the menu upon hearing this and placed both menus on the table:

"Yu'an has always understood me best. Just serve the dishes according to your Majesty's preferences."

"Yes, I will serve the dishes right away."

Mo Youqian quickly collected the two menus and retreated with his men.

Liang Chongyue took Li Yuan's hand and walked towards the window:

"The view from Wangjiang Tower is the best. The night view in summer is even better than the daytime view."

Especially tonight, the river is full of colorful lanterns, carrying the hopes and wishes of sincere people floating downstream. Standing by the window on the top floor of Wangjiang Tower and looking down, the entire river surface is illuminated by these lanterns, stretching endlessly.

"The stars are reflected in the distant water, and the lanterns cast shadows in the distance. I wish that everyone who lights lanterns can get what they want."

Li Yu'an suddenly sighed. Liang Chongyue had gotten used to it. Scholars were always like this.

"The people pray to the Buddha and the Bodhisattvas. Why should my queen feel so much for them?"

Whether what you pray for will come true or not is usually determined when you make the wish. Lighting lanterns is a custom and also a way to gain peace of mind.

"Yes, Your Majesty is absolutely right. I was overthinking it."

Liang Chongyue took the initiative to hold Li Yu'an's hand and stood in the highest place in the entire capital except for his mother's Star-Picking Tower. Looking up, he saw the sky full of stars, and looking down, he saw the river full of lanterns.

"Yu'an, if you have any wishes, please write them down. I will help you light lanterns and pray for blessings later. I am the Son of Heaven. I pray sincerely, and the Buddha and Bodhisattva will surely fulfill your wishes."

After Liang Chongyue finished speaking, he waited for a while and saw that Li Yu'an did not speak. Then he shifted his gaze from the splendor of the river to the pair of dazzling pearls beside him.

"Why not? No one else would have this honor. If Yu An doesn't want to, then..."

Liang Chongyue said "that's all", but before he could utter the word, Li Yu'an hurriedly stopped him from saying it.

"I am willing. I am willing, but my request is selfish. I am afraid that letting Your Majesty release the blessing lanterns would waste Your Majesty's dragon energy."

Liang Chongyue didn't care and gently placed a kiss on the palm of his hand which was less than two fingers away from his mouth:

"Everyone has selfish desires. I will protect my kingdom and my people. Yu'an only needs to take what he wants."

In Liang Chongyue's mind, praying is just a way to seek comfort. She believes that man can conquer nature.

Li Yu'an withdrew his hand, palm facing up, and gave himself a kiss, his eyes full of tenderness and longing.

"Okay, then I would like to thank Your Majesty."

The private room was always well-stocked with fine brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone. Liang Chongyue leaned against the desk, watching Li Yu'an grind the ink and moisten the brush himself. He said to Yun Ling, who was waiting beside him:

"Tell someone to buy enough lanterns, and once they're out, let's set them off all at once."

In the past, Liang Chongyue also brought Yunling and Ping'an out to release lanterns. At that time, she wore a veil on her face and walked through the crowd with the two of them, feeling very uncomfortable.

Now that I think about it, it seems like a luxury to have such fun again.

"Yes, slave, I'll do it now."

After all, Yunling is still a girl in her twenties, and she can't hide the smile on her face when she hears about lanterns.

Not long after Yun Ling left, there was a soft knock on the door:

"I am here to serve you food."

It was Mo Youqian's voice. Ping'an opened the door of the private room from the inside and let the servant who came to deliver the food in.

After Mo Youqian and his servants filled the table with the dishes ordered by His Majesty and His Highness, he was about to report to His Majesty, but he saw that His Majesty was staring at His Highness practicing calligraphy, so he immediately slowed down his pace and retreated with his men.

Ping An used a silver needle to test the poison on all the dishes one by one. After checking them once and confirming that they were correct, he put away the silver needle and stepped aside.

Liang Chongyue was originally standing aside, quietly admiring Li Yu'an's beautiful calligraphy. What he wrote at the beginning were all prayers for the country and the people, not what he really wanted deep in his heart. Liang Chongyue looked at it for a while and saw that he was almost done with all the words he could write.

If I continue writing, even one piece of paper might not be enough, and the lantern might not be able to bear the weight and sink before it can float far.

Liang Chongyue turned around silently and went to wash his hands:

"You write first, and then come over and wash your hands."

Li Yu'an looked up and saw His Majesty walking away. He responded softly and began to write down his thoughts in a few concise and clear sentences on the remaining space of the paper.

In fact, what he wants is very simple, but it is not easy to achieve.

After Liang Chongyue washed his hands, he saw Li Yu'an stand up through the screen. He didn't expect that he would finish writing his wish so quickly.

"Has it been written?"

Seeing Li Yu'an nod, Liang Chongyue smiled and added:

"Then wash your hands and come and eat."

After washing his hands, Li Yu'an walked to the dining table and began to serve the dishes to His Majesty. Unexpectedly, as soon as his hands touched the chopsticks, they were held down by His Majesty.

"Sit down and enjoy your meal with me. Since we are not in the palace tonight, there is no need to be so particular. Just treat it like we did in the mansion before."

After saying that, Liang Chongyue picked up a piece of squab for Li Yu'an with chopsticks. Knowing that he liked to eat it, he placed the plate of squab in front of him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I am very happy tonight."
