Autumn is here, winter will not be too far away, and the temperature will drop very fast. Yesterday, wearing a single coat will not feel cold. Today, I will start adding thicker cotton coats.
Luo Shuyu did not know that Li Mingjin watched a play in the palace.
He is a little busy today, and tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. He and Li Mingjin must go to the palace for a family banquet. Before that, they have to arrange the house. When the master's family celebrates the Mid-Autumn Festival, the servants also have to live, and various expenses will increase.
Every Mid-Autumn Festival, the whole country is very lively. On this day, all officials have a day off to reunite with their families at home.
In the palace, family banquets are also held every year, and musicians are invited to accompany elegant music.
Emperor Tiansheng would accompany the queen, concubine and children to appreciate the moon. He was a person who liked to enjoy beauty and would set off fireworks in the garden of the palace every year. In a previous life, when Luo Shuyu entered the palace to attend a banquet, what he looked forward to most was watching fireworks. He liked to see the sparkling sparkles in the dark, which was very beautiful.
There is a banquet in the palace, but the mansion can't help but arrange it. Luo Shuyu is also the first time to take over the affairs of the mansion. Butler Sun does not dare to neglect him. He is very cooperative in all aspects. It will also help him in time.
After Luo Shuyu returned to the familiar Third Prince's Mansion, the smiles on his face also increased, and he looked forward to the future, and hoped that this life would have a different ending.
There are lanterns everywhere in the house, and many of the red lanterns that hung when he married Li Mingjin don't need to be taken off. They can be used directly during the Mid-Autumn Festival. They are still beaming and comfortable to watch.
When Li Mingjin came back from the palace, it was already afternoon. Luo Shuyu rested on the couch. After he entered the room, he handed the crutches to the servants. He jumped to the couch and sat down, pulling the quilt for Luo Shuyu.
When Li Mingjin saw Luo Shuyu's hand on the quilt, her face became hot, and she thought of last night.
He really didn't expect Luo Shuyu to be willing to help him, which was surprising.
Perhaps it was his big man who was here, and Luo Shuyu felt something and woke up.
The moment his eyes opened, he called out to him, "His Royal Highness?"
Li Mingjin suddenly tightened his face: "Are you still sleepy?"
"I'm not sleepy anymore, I'll get up now." Luo Shuyu rubbed her eyes.
At this time, Luo Shuyu was simply cute in Li Mingjin's eyes, and he couldn't help lowering his head and kissing his cheek.
Luo Shuyu was stunned for a moment when he suddenly kissed him. There was no experience that he had never had before, and he had not experienced it in the past few days. Suddenly, he realized the sweetness of being Li Mingjin's prince concubine, and his heart was filled with warmth.
He thought that he liked physical contact with Li Mingjin, which was a good start, and neither of them rejected each other.
When Li Mingjin came back, he found that the servants in the house were busy. Everywhere he went, he saw someone cleaning.
"Did you call someone to clean it today?"
Luo Shuyu got up and mentioned what he was busy with in the morning: "Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. This is the first Mid-Autumn Festival we have spent together. I asked the pantry to prepare moon cakes, and we can enjoy the moon together tomorrow night."
Li Mingjin: "Tomorrow we have to enter the palace, we got it before the West, I don't know if we can get back."
Luo Shuyu: "I heard from my mother that I should be able to come back. After returning, we can continue to admire the moon."
Li Mingjin: "Then let's try to come back as early as possible, and we may not be able to eat anything delicious there. Let's have a meal when we get home."
Luo Shuyu: "Yes."
For all the Mid-Autumn Festivals in the past life, they went back to their respective rooms after entering the palace. They have never discussed what to do after returning before going out like this.
Although Luo Shuyu was busy with the Mid-Autumn Festival, he did not miss the follow-up to know about the oiran competition, and Ansan came back in the afternoon to report the matter to them.
At this time, the two did not go to the study, but sat on the small couch eating cakes and talking.
This Shen Mingyun is still somewhat capable, the eldest prince is injured, the bosses behind him have returned from the Yafu unharmed, and are going to continue to hold the courtesan competition on the Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow.
Luo Shuyu was very surprised: "Your Highness, does the eldest prince mind?"
Li Mingjin explained to him: "I told you that you can't kill with a stick. Big brother cast a silver vote in this courtesan competition. He doesn't like to suffer. No matter what, he won't let himself lose."
Luo Shuyu: "But after all, he still suffered a skin injury, can he endure this?"
Li Mingjin: "The skin injury was suppressed by him. When he was in the imperial study today, the emperor did not know the grievance between him and the assassin, and only scolded him for not doing his job properly."
His eldest brother bribed some ignorant clan sons who heard him talking to the assassins.
Luo Shuyu: "Then you have been said a few words by the royal father." You are also quite unprofessional.
Li Mingjin patted his leg and said a little proudly: "Of course not, you have to trust your husband."
Luo Shuyu pierced him mercilessly: "You just got married, your leg is still hurt, and you don't have any important cases in your hands, so naturally you won't be scolded."
Li Mingjin: "Yu'er, you don't need to know me so well." He was still embarrassed.
Luo Shuyu smiled, and then brought the topic back to the oiran competition: "Will it attract a lot of people if we continue the oiran competition on the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
During the Mid-Autumn Festival in Daxiaguo, Yunsheng Street is bustling with people next to each other. No curfew is imposed on this night, and shops can be open, such as rouge shops, snack stalls, juggling performances, etc. The most lively, the official will also There are various dragon and lion dance performances, and people are willing to come out to watch.
Li Mingjin said truthfully: "There will be many people."
Luo Shuyu: "The last time the performance was suspended, I believe that this time Shen Mingyun and others will send people to watch in advance, and the performance venue will also strictly screen the flow of people entering and leaving, so how can we stop it? Is there no way to do it once and for all? If there is another mess, this time it will be easy to trample and hurt people."
Li Mingjin said, "Don't worry, we have a solution."
Luo Shuyu: "What way?"
Li Mingjin licked the corner of his mouth and gave him a suggestive look.
Luo Shuyu: "..." It's better to pretend that you didn't see it, this day and night is always thinking about this.
Seeing that he was silent, Li Mingjin became anxious: "You don't want to know?"
Luo Shuyu took a sip of tea and covered the smile on his lips: "Hey, I suddenly don't want to know, I'll know tomorrow, and I'll be fine later."
Li Mingjin thought that he was at a loss. He should have asked directly instead of suggesting that his daughter-in-law was too smart to fall into his trap.
However, Li Mingjin didn't lose at all when he took a break at night, and Luo Shuyu's hands were sore for a long time, and then he fell asleep.
August 15th, Mid-Autumn Festival.
In the afternoon, Luo Shuyu and Li Mingjin began to prepare the clothes for entering the palace. Even if today was the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion banquet, they had to follow the royal rules. Luo Shuyu was already used to it, and he didn't say much. He even hung the jade pendant he chose for Li Mingjin.
Li Mingjin is a little suspicious: "Yu'er sets me off, Yu'er has such a good eye."
Luo Shuyu took pleasure in puncturing him: "I wore this jade pendant the day before yesterday."
Li Mingjin: "..."
The husband is preparing to leave the house.
Ansan dressed as a bodyguard was on the side today. Before Li Mingjin got into the carriage, he quietly whispered something to Li Mingjin.
As soon as the words fell, Li Mingjin's eyes darkened slightly: "How dare you deceive like this, the murderer should pay for his life and do it."
Ansan nodded, quietly retreated to the back, and after explaining a few words to the other guard, he returned to the side of the carriage and continued to be his guard.
Luo Shuyu got into the carriage first, and he reached out his hand to help Li Mingjin get on the carriage, but saw that his expression was not right: "Your Highness, what's the matter?"
The two of them went out happily just now, but they suddenly became angry.
"Get on the carriage first." Li Mingjin was reluctant to tell Luo Shuyu about this.
Luo Shuyu was not in a hurry: "Okay."
After entering the carriage, Li Mingjin choked his head and tail, and arranged for Luo Renshou to arrange for Liu to be seriously ill, and then to send her to a nunnery.
Luo Shuyu didn't suspect him, and he was relieved to hear that Luo Renshou sent Liu to the nunnery. He also thought about taking Liu's life, but instead of letting her die, it would be better to let him live in the nunnery. suffer.
However, he didn't know how simple his idea was.
Luo Renshou's promise to him was just a plan to delay the military, and it was up to him whether to implement it or not. This is why he insisted on taking the initiative to deal with this matter. After all, Mrs. Liu is the biological mother of his two eldest sons. Shi sent him to a nunnery, and his two sons would be separated from him in the future.
What Luo Renshou had just passed on to Li Mingjin was the news of how Luo Renshou dealt with the Liu family.
It was inevitable that Mrs Liu could not stay in Luo Mansion, but Luo Renshou would not send her to the nunnery because of the fact that she had four children for him, but found someone who looked like Mrs Liu. He was betting that Luo Shuyu would not go to the nunnery to confirm, and that Luo Shuyu would not be favored by Li Mingjin.
But he was wrong, Li Mingjin had already put Luo Shuyu on the top of his heart, and he had long been eyeing Liu Shi, the murderer.
Since she wants to use the Mid-Autumn Festival to stay away from the capital and go to Luofu's hometown for half her life, then let her go. Whether she can reach her hometown alive is unknown. It is also common sense to encounter a bandit on the road. The "real" Liu In the nunnery in the south of the city, who would know that an unknown woman died on the road, even if Luo Renshou wanted to investigate the bandits, he would not dare, and even more would not dare to find Luo Shuyu bad luck, this bitter fruit can only be swallowed by himself!
Honestly sending Liu to the nunnery will at least save a small life, and he can only blame him for being smart.
Luo Shuyu didn't know anything about another plan in Li Mingjin's mind, and Li Mingjin never let him know about it from beginning to end.
They went out early and bypassed Yunsheng Street today, arriving a little later than expected.
They also met Li Mingchun, the fourth prince who was still alone. It was this season, and he was still using a fan.
Thinking about it, he was not the eldest prince's attendant today.
Seeing Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu, Li Mingchun walked over directly: "Third brother, why did you guys come later than me?"
The Third Prince's Mansion is closer than the Fourth Prince's Mansion, so he should have arrived earlier than him. Li Mingjin said, "Take a detour."
The fourth prince looked at Luo Shuyu again: "Sister-in-law of the third emperor."
Luo Shuyu supported Li Mingjin, nodded, and did not return the salute.
The fourth prince didn't think much about it, but Luo Shuyu didn't want it. This man had a deep mind, and he didn't know what bad water was in his belly.
They went directly to the Zhaoren Hall. The banquet table was already prepared in the palace. Palace lanterns were hung everywhere, very bright, like the daytime. Now they are just waiting for the princes and their concubines to take their seats.
The Daxia Kingdom is relatively tolerant in terms of rules. Today, there will be concubines in the harem. All the banquet tables and tableware have been allocated.
Luo Shuyu and Li Mingjin became the focus as soon as they came in, and the palace concubines all looked at Luo Shuyu with different expressions.
Luo Shuyu, who attended the palace banquet for the first time in his last life, had never seen any big scenes, and his eyes were easy to show timidity. Now he has been training for many years, and his mentality is different from before. Standing next to Li Mingjin was not covered by his powerful gloomy aura, but he seemed Generous.
Passing by Concubine Mei's position, Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu called her mother concubine at the same time, Concubine Mei said casually: "When I go back later, I will ask Eunuch Ping to bring you some freshly grown jasmine."
Li Mingjin looked at Luo Shuyu with a cold face, and Luo Shuyu immediately said to Concubine Mei, "Thank you, concubine, we will definitely bring it."
The two took their seats.
On their left is the eldest prince, and on their right is the fourth prince. The crown prince and crown princess are close to the throne of Emperor Tiansheng, but there is still a certain distance.
Sitting across from them were the four concubines, Concubine Lin Gui, the biological mother of the eldest prince, Concubine Jiang Shu, Concubine De, and Concubine Wei Xian, who entered the palace as a son.
At this time, before You Shi, there was still some time before Emperor Tiansheng and the Empress took their seats.
Several sisters-in-law began to talk to Luo Shuyu every now and then. Today, the crown princess who was wearing makeup asked him with a smile: "This palace has heard that the third sister-in-law has been reading poetry and books since childhood. If she was not born as a son, she would definitely be able to win a champion in the imperial examination."
The princess's words are not so comfortable to hear.
What Luo Shuyu disliked the most in her last life was that she always spoke with a little bit of arrogance.
He is not afraid, as long as the crown prince does not inherit the throne for one day, the crown princess will not be able to become the queen.
Luo Shuyu replied: "Where did the Crown Princess hear it? It's all rumors in the market. Shu Yu just learned a little bit of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
The eldest prince also added to their chat: "Indeed, the crown prince is so brilliant that even the queen mother praised it a lot."
The Crown Princess laughed twice, but she didn't expect the sister-in-law to actually help Luo Shuyu.
The battle between the three has just begun.
The Crown Princess has always been unwilling to admit defeat: "Now the banquet has not yet started, why don't we play a game?" She turned and asked the Prince beside her, "Your Highness, what do you think?"
The identity of the prince was also the most respected at the scene. Naturally, he said to the prince, "Yes, there are many people and it is lively."
A hint of slyness flashed in the eyes of the Crown Princess: "Recently, there is a very interesting game, and it is lively when more people play, and everyone must have never played it."
The eldest princess was also curious: "Oh? What game is it?"
The princess said, "Please close your eyes when it's getting dark."
Everyone found it interesting, and they all said they wanted to play together.
Please Close Your Eyes at Dark is a party game that Shen Mingyun copied from their world. It has only become popular recently. Luo Shuyu has never attended a party since his rebirth. Naturally, he didn't think of these little things, but now he does.
Li Mingjin asked Luo Shuyu, "How, can you play?"
According to the circumstances of Luo Shuyu's life, he should not have heard of it. He pretended to be worried and whispered back to Li Mingjin: "I have not heard of it."
Li Mingjin's eyes lit up: "It's okay, I'll teach you."
Luo Shuyu gave him a meaningful look.
I played with him when I was pregnant with a child in my last life, and the process is indescribable.
Because Li Mingjin can change his identity every game.
The author has something to say: this is a loose royal family dinner.

Third Prince: Daughter-in-law, tonight I'm going to turn into a werewolf, oh~~
Luo Shuyu: ...Go away.
