Chapter 41 Acquaintances
Princess Jiayi muttered: "What's the use of your personal bodyguard besides being good-looking? Can it protect you?"

Shu Yao didn't take it seriously: "Isn't good-looking enough?"

She felt that Li Mingji was in line with her wishes, pleasing to the eye, and gentle and considerate enough. She couldn't find another guard like this. Princess Jiayi was just jealous of her.

Princess Jiayi: "..."

The two little ladies had quarreled almost since they were young, and the queen mother bent her eyes and looked at them lovingly.

Lunch was served one after another.The Empress Dowager's taste is bland, but with Shu Yao and Princess Jiayi here today, the imperial dining room specially prepared a few more dishes, and the table was full.

The Empress Dowager picked up the chopsticks, took a few mouthfuls, then suddenly covered her throat and retched uncontrollably, which shocked both Shu Yao and Princess Jiayi:
"Grandma (grandmother)!"

The female officer immediately stepped forward, supported the Empress Dowager's shoulders, helped her massage the acupoints, and slowly passed her breath.

The queen mother's face was slightly pale, and she forced a smile, "It's nothing. Aijia just has a bad appetite recently. It should be just after summer, and you will feel unwell when you see greasy meat."

Princess Jiayi felt extremely guilty: "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have made this roast goose..."

"Of course not," the queen mother gave her a sullen look, "You are the ones who came to see Aijia, but can Aijia make you hungry? It's not a big deal. You eat well, and Aijia will just watch you."

Shu Yao and Princess Jiayi can only say goodbye.

Concerned about the Empress Dowager's body, a meal was too much to taste, the two of them had lunch, and then accompanied the Empress Dowager for a walk in the Longevity Palace to digest food.

There is a potted plant on the shelf in the Queen Mother's bedroom, which looks like bluegrass and has three small blue-purple flowers.Shu Yao felt vaguely familiar, and stared at the potted flower for a while, "Grandma, what is this?"

"It was sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs some time ago. What is it called... Hanchun? It is said that it can relieve knots in people's hearts and strengthen people's spleen and stomach. There is nothing mysterious about a pot of flowers. Ai's house looks good, so I put it here first."

The Queen Mother smiled, "If Yaoyao likes it, Aijia will send someone to Huaxi Palace."

Princess Jiayi answered immediately: "Grandmother, don't be partial, I want what Shu Yao has!"

"Yes, of course there is. Whatever A Yuan wants, Aijia will give it to you."

"Forget it, forget it," Shu Yao waved her hand, "I can't keep these flowers alive, so let's put them here with my grandmother."

She just looked familiar, where did she see it?
……

The moon will be the night before the Mid-Autumn Festival.Before it was dark, Shu Yao asked Songzhen and Chunrui to dress her up.

Today she put on a rouge-colored pleated skirt, combed her buns, put moon flowers on her forehead, and even embroidered shoes with a bunny pattern, looking from a distance, she looked like a jade rabbit fairy walking out of a painting.

Pine needle has a pair of skillful hands, and her hair is tied up very beautifully. When those colorful clothes are brought into pine needle's hands, it seems to be endowed with life.Shu Yao was very satisfied with tonight's look, she held her skirt and walked around in front of the bronze mirror, and called Li Mingji in, and ordered: "My princess's hairpin is messed up, help me fix it."

In fact, her hairpin was not messed up at all, so it was not hard to guess what she was thinking.Li Mingji symbolically helped her tidy up, and suddenly said softly: "The Princess is beautiful tonight."

A sentence that couldn't be simpler, but when it came out of his mouth, there was a bit of inexplicable meaning.Shu Yao's face became hot, and she asked him back: "When will this princess not be beautiful?"

Li Mingji smiled slightly: "What the princess said is very true."

He naturally knew that the little princess had a stunning appearance.It's just that what he likes the most is the appearance of the little princess when her eyes are red and she scolds him for being "presumptuous".

The Chunjiang Huayue Restaurant that I am going to go tonight is one of the largest restaurants in the capital, and it is also an excellent place to enjoy the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

It is said that the owner behind the Chunjiang Huayuelou is a wealthy Yangzhou businessman with a great business mind. Originally, the Chunjiang Huayuelou was just an ordinary restaurant with wine and banquets. She is sought after by female wives, and Princess Jiayi is a regular customer of Chunjiang Huayuelou.Because of this, Princess Jiayi received an invitation to the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Fair.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a new activity prepared by Chunjiang Huayue Building to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. Excellent work offers gifts.

Both Shu Yao and Princess Jiayi were used to seeing rare treasures since they were young. Although the gifts from Chunjiang Huayuelou were generous, they were not enough to attract Shu Yao's attention.She didn't intend to participate, but seeing Princess Jiayi running upstairs excitedly, she had to follow her with her skirt up, and told Li Mingji who was behind her: "You wait for us at any place downstairs, you don't have to follow. "

Li Mingji nodded and said hello.

There were too many guests in the Huayue Building in Chunjiang, and after a while, Shu Yao was nowhere to be seen.Li Mingji took a few steps back and walked into a concealed secret door. A man dressed as a shopkeeper greeted him and said respectfully: "Young master."

Li Mingji hummed lightly.

……

The moon-watching platform was crowded with people, and the maid spread out the rice paper for the two of Shu Yao. Princess Jiayi picked up the pen and wrote a song "Spring River Flower and Moon Night" on the rice paper eloquently.

Although Princess Jiayi, like Shu Yao, was a problem student who caused headaches for his wife since childhood, but Princess Jiayi wrote good handwriting, which was almost like Emperor Yong, smooth and elegant, and beautiful outside.

In this regard, Shu Yao, who has not improved her handwriting for so many years, is inferior to Princess Jiayi.Fortunately, she has learned a lot of skills from Li Mingji recently. Seeing Princess Jiayi's high interest, Shu Yao also ordered Chunrui to fetch a pen and paper to start painting.

What she painted was the grand occasion of watching the moon tonight. She had limited time, so she only painted the stacked cornices and bucket arches and the bright moon in the sky.As for the signature, Shu Yao thought for a moment and wrote the word "Jiao".

Shu Yao was born on the night of the [-]th day, and has a special affection for the moon. Her name comes from "the moon rises brightly, the bright and bright, the swaying and the carefree".Occasionally, Shu Yao would also fantasize that if the eldest princess Yongning was alive, she would probably use "Jiaojiao" as her small character.

Princess Jiayi finished handing in the work, looked left and right for a while, and whispered: "Why didn't you see Zhou Rong?"

This sound did not escape Shu Yao's ears.Hearing the unfamiliar name, Shu Yao blinked and asked curiously, "Who is he?"

"He's just a scholar." Princess Jiayi's face was a little shy, "but he is very talented, and he even created a set of calligraphy fonts. Tonight's Mid-Autumn Festival, he will definitely come to Chunjiang Mingyue Tower."

While talking, Princess Jiayi lost her composure and took Shu Yao's hand, "He may not be on this floor, let's go downstairs and have a look..."

Turning around, he bumped into the two of them head-on.Princess Jiayi held her forehead and took two steps back. Shu Yao pulled her over and took a closer look. The boy in front of her was clearly Xie Yanzhou, and the one following him...

It's Shu Ningyou.
