The weather was cold today, and the teahouse business was excellent. More and more customers came and went, so no one was concerned about the two people sitting in the corner.

While Duan Yunfei was drinking her tea, she smiled bitterly and nodded at Mu Chuyang. This matter concerns the country and is also the focus of attention in the country. How could he dare make any mistakes? "

"Mu Chuyang pondered for a moment, and sighed as well. As gentlemen, we shouldn't have used these methods, but the Fifth Prince is the empress's hope, and they are interdependent. If the Fifth Prince doesn't fall, then we won't be able to bring down the empress. Thinking about it like this, it was truly a pity for the Fifth Prince. He didn't do anything wrong, after all, but he was involved with his mother and sisters. "

"To the Fifth Prince, how could it only be a pity?!" Duan Yunfei looked far ahead and couldn't help but to shake her head.

"You exhort the Emperor that the Seventh Prince is in charge of this New Year's Sacrifice. "People are all following the wind, and there's a flurry of discussion in the court today. The Seventh Prince's evaluation of him is also very different from before." Mu Chuyang hesitated for a moment before continuing to speak to Duan Yunfei. "There are even officials who wrote to the Emperor that the Seventh Prince is wise and honest, that he should be conferred the title of a prince."

"As Duan Yunfei listened, she let out a soft sigh. Now that royal father has ordered the Seventh Prince to take care of this matter, the ministers in the court will definitely assume that royal father has decided to use the Seventh Prince. If they take advantage of the Seventh Prince's lack of momentum and plead for some reward for him like this, in the future, the Seventh Prince will truly rise to greatness.

This was a method commonly used in the imperial court, how could Duan Yunfei not know about it.

"In that case, can we help the Seventh Prince and treat it as giving him a hand?" Mu Chuyang thought for a moment, then raised his head and asked Duan Yunfei.

Duan Yunfei didn't hesitate at all and firmly shook her head at Mu Chuyang, "No, even though there are many methods used by the palace, royal father is wise, and has already seen it clearly, it's just that he isn't willing to make it clear. Now that I have recommended the Seventh Prince to do this task, I can't stay on this trip and just wait quietly. As for whether or not we can do it well, it all depends on the Seventh Prince's luck. "

Hearing Duan Yunfei's words, Mu Chuyang did not dare to act without permission, and after hesitating for a bit, he nodded to Duan Yunfei.

Duan Yunfei was a woman, yet she was able to receive the emperor's favor and care, which hadn't changed for many years. Other than the shade of the Wu Family, the most important thing the Emperor missed and owed him was still Mu Chuyang's own unparalleled intellect.

No matter what happened, she was the first one to find out.

And because of this, Mu Chuyang did not dare to act without permission, as he had to ask Duan Yunfei about everything.

When the two of them came out of the teahouse, it was already evening.

"Little Thirteen, it's getting late, why don't I send you back to the palace first?" Mu Chuyang looked up into the sky, and saw that there was already a crescent moon hanging on the treetops.

Duan Yunfei was about to answer when she suddenly saw fireworks not far away.

"What's that for?" Duan Yunfei was pleasantly surprised, pointing to the front, he asked.

Mu Chuyang looked over there and couldn't help but to laugh. He then turned to Duan Yunfei and said: "That is the evening market in the capital. When fireworks bloomed, you place them in the moat. This way, their wishes will follow the moat and flow towards river god, and when river god hears their thoughts, he will naturally help them realize them as soon as possible. "

Hearing Mu Chuyang's words, Duan Yunfei couldn't help but turn his head and rolled her eyes at him. What you are talking about are all just tricks to deceive children. How could there be a river god? "

Duan Yunfei's character had always been like this. She had fought on the battlefield for many years, and her heart had long ago not been as heartless as those ordinary women.

She did not respect heaven and earth, and did not believe in ghosts or gods. The only thing he believed in was the sharp blade in his hand.

Mu Chuyang hesitated for a moment, and could not help but smile at her. They are different from you. You were born to be the most beloved daughter of the Emperor, and even after so many years, you still haven't changed. What you want is within your reach, but the women of these ordinary families can only rely on this method to pray that their wishes come true. "

Hearing Mu Chuyang's words, Duan Yunfei had a rough understanding of the situation. Since that's the case, then we might as well return. There is nothing much to worry about, so we might as well go over there and join in on the fun. What if river god really hears my prayers. "

Without explaining further, she pulled Mu Chuyang along as she ran over. The two sides of the moat were filled with peddlers selling lanterns.

"Boss, how much are these lanterns?" Duan Yunfei stood at the side and made her selections left and right, finally finding a style she liked.

The owner of the lanterns sold was a middle-aged woman. Judging from her appearance, these lanterns should have been personally made by her.

"Miss, these lanterns cost two coins each." The lantern-selling grandma smiled and nodded at Duan Yunfei. Her back was a little hunched, and when she stood up, she trembled.

Duan Yunfei turned her head to look at Mu Chuyang, and Mu Chuyang immediately understood. She quickly took out a silver from her sleeves and handed it over to the old granny. She smiled at her and said, "Grandma, the weather is too cold. I want all of your lanterns. Please quickly go back."

"This …" The grandma was slightly surprised as she didn't expect to meet two such strange young men.

Duan Yunfei was also surprised when she heard this, and turned to look at Mu Chuyang.

Mu Chuyang didn't mind her at all. He took the flower lamp from the old granny's hand, extended his hand to help her stand up, and watched her leave with each step she took. It was as if he was bidding farewell to the flower lamp that he had personally made.

"Hey, what are you buying so much for?" After the old granny left, Duan Yunfei extended her hand out and pinched Mu Chuyang's arm, and asked her with a frown.

"Of course it's for the lanterns." Mu Chuyang laughed as he carried all the lanterns towards the river bank.

There were many people gathered on the river bank, most of them men and women who loved each other. The two of them stood by the moat, watching as their lanterns accompanied each other, flowing towards the direction of river god.

"Sigh!" Duan Yunfei couldn't help but let out a sigh and mutter to herself, "With so many lanterns, I probably won't be able to last an entire night."
