“…” Jing Yue looked at Yin Qiao unbelievably.

Really!

Really so frightened?!

The snake was still quite a few meters far away from her!

Jing Yue sighed helplessly and silently sat back, “Poor little Funeral Flower. Look at you, no one likes you except me.” Jing Yue dolefully touched the small body of Funeral Flower, which happily wrapped itself around Jing Yue’s wrist and closed its eyes.

“Your Highness, the carriage is ready.” Jing Er (Lit. two) called from outside when Jing Yue was having fun with the snake. A big smile appeared on Jing Yue’s face before she patted Funeral Flower and said, “Follow me and have a big meal!”

“Hiss…” Funeral Flower hissed with delight and crawled into Jing Yue’s sleeve. Yin Qiao was about to stand up with restored strength when she happened to see the snake again. Her face turned even paler before she fell down again, and this time she just sat on the ground, watching them go away.

Jing Yue had been very happy to go out before she and the other two stood in front of a splendid restaurant. Jing Yue felt her heart aching!

‘Why is it not Delectable Delicacies Chamber!!’

‘Why is it not a free meal!!’

‘Why should we come to this Flowing Clouds Loft!!’

“Jing Yue, we know that you are very sincere to treat us a meal. But we’re tired of dishes in Delectable Delicacies Chamber, why not try the food in Flowing Clouds Loft, where it is said we can enjoy the music and the dance as we eat!” Shangguan Linglan put one of her arm around Jing Yue’s shoulder and said with a smile.

“Oh…right…yes, of course…” Jing Yue was so downcast that she had to follow Shangguan Linglan and Ning Xiangyuan to the restaurant built on the edge of the lake, where the scenery was exceptionally beautiful. However, as it located in non-prosperous area, just a few diners would come.

Most of diners knew Flowing Clouds Loft from their friends and came here to enjoy the scenery.

Jing Yue and other two sat in a private room. When they opened the window, they saw the beautiful scenery on the lake. The catkins flew down and the boats passed by with smiling ladies and gentlemen sitting at the bow of the boats. Jing Yue was amazed by the gorgeous scene.

“What a nice place!” Jing Yue turned to Shangguan Linglan. “Lanlan, how did you know this place?”

“Apparently, it is my elder brother who told me about it.” Shangguan Linglan proudly raised her eyebrows and said, “It is said that Mingpan Lake is the most popular place during Lantern Festival. All the people from Imperial City will come here to release lanterns on the lake, which would be extremely colorful and beautiful.”

“Lantern Festival? What is it?” Jing Yue asked with confusion in her eyes.

“The 15th of the first lunar month is Lantern Festival. The Lantern Festival of this year has passed. You have to wait it for the coming year.” Shangguan Linglan sat back and smiled at Jing Yue, “But you can still enjoy the scenery on Double Seventh Festival, which is also beautiful.”

“Isn’t 15th of the first lunar month Yuanxiao Festival?” Jing Yue felt confused in her mind, and asked after hearing Shangguan Linglan’s words, “What’s Double Seventh Festival?”

“At the silent night of the festival, many young girls and boys will pray for their good marriages to the stars, express their love through silk kerchiefs and sachets as well as meet on the stone bridge.” Shangguan Linglan said with expectation sparkling in her eyes.
