After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 211 A Night of Perfect Flowers and Full Moon

After washing up, Su Xiaoxiao went back to her room to sleep. When she was paired with the Emperor, he looked at Su Xiaoxiao's face and said in a very strange way, "Your face is so red!"

"Oh, I baked mooncakes today..."

Su Xiaoxiao gave a haphazard explanation and brushed it off.

The next day, Su Xiaoxiao packed the baked mooncakes in parchment paper, five to a pack, so she could give them away or keep them for herself.

Pei Yuan and the Emperor were in the kitchen helping to wrap mooncakes, and they finished quickly.

Su Xiaoxiao sent mooncakes to the village head's family, the Sun family, the Wang family, and Granny Wang's family.

Since Su Xiaoxiao wasn't trying to sell them, each pack had a different flavor so that everyone could try them out.

However, Su Xiaoxiao also told them to eat it before the expiration date, otherwise it would easily spoil.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is just two days away, and Su Xiaoxiao sent mooncakes to Qian Musheng and Mr. Li from Ci'an Hall.

The items themselves are not valuable, but they represent the sentiment behind them.

This year, Su Xiaoxiao didn't plan to go home to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with her uncles and aunts. Instead, she brought mooncakes to her cousin's hot pot restaurant and saw that her cousin was still working as diligently as before.

She finally felt relieved and handed over the mooncakes, saying that she had made them herself and hoped that her uncles and aunts could try them.

Su Bingcheng was very happy to accept the mooncakes. "Thank you, Xiaoxiao. You're so thoughtful."

Su Xiaoxiao also gave them a bamboo tube of her own honey, saying, "This is honey from my own farm, to supplement the nutrition of my uncle and aunt."

On the Mid-Autumn Festival, Su Xiaoxiao specially hung lanterns in front of her house, and also made some dough figurines and small animals, coloring the dough figurines with various vegetable juices.

Then she started cooking, making all sorts of delicious dishes, including chicken, duck, fish, and meat.

We eat well enough normally, but now that it's a holiday, we'll only eat even better and cook even more delicious dishes.

The Emperor seemed very excited; everyone was looking forward to Su Xiaoxiao's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

Su Xiaoxiao started preparing at noon today. She first made a meal of bird's nest, abalone, and shark fin, then sweet and sour pork ribs and sweet and sour pork, followed by steamed crabs from the Xiliang River, and then delicious cold-cooked rabbit. Everyone enjoyed the meal and chatted while eating, but the conversation was mostly about everyday things.

Su Xiaoxiao also drank some wine today, which Bruce brought them.

Pei Yuan and Su Xiaoxiao drank together, and then went up to the rooftop, which was a great place for a date.

They drank most of the wine from the pot, one glass after another. At this point, no more words were needed; a single glance was enough.

Su Xiaoxiao and Pei Yuan were also in sync. Looking at the moon hanging high above them, a bright moon reminded Su Xiaoxiao of a Stephen Chow movie where the moon above the protagonist's head was big and round, and in the end, to match the protagonist and the girl he liked, it turned into a big heart shape.

The sky was dotted with stars, and fireflies danced all around; everything was so enchanting.

Su Xiaoxiao was a little tipsy, and that song started playing in her ears again.

"When will the moon be clear and bright? I raise my cup to ask the heavens. I wonder what year it is tonight in the celestial palace..."

Su Xiaoxiao's singing wasn't bad. Thinking back to the night she traveled through time, the moon seemed just as round, and it happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival. She couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

In this situation, Su Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and began to chant. When she opened her eyes again, she found Pei Yuan's face right in front of her.

"What are you doing?"

Pei Yuan smiled broadly, "I was listening to you sing. I didn't expect you to sing so well."

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted, "Then sing me a song too! I've never heard you sing before!" Pei Yuan didn't expect Su Xiaoxiao to take the initiative and ask him to sing. Seeing Su Xiaoxiao's eager gaze, he had no choice but to hum a song softly. It was also a song about the moon, and the lyrics were somewhat similar to Su Xiaoxiao's song. It sounded like an ancient poem, catchy, and quite rhyming.

Their interactions are obvious to outsiders; they seem to have fallen in love.

However, there was no one around; everyone was celebrating below.

Su Xiaoxiao was a little drunk. Looking at Pei Yuan in front of her, she felt like she was looking at her idol, Hiroki Iijima. He was smiling at her, which was much better than going to a fan meeting. It felt like the real person was right in front of her.

She put down her wine glass and moved closer to Pei Yuan, pinching his cheeks with both hands and kneading them repeatedly.

"How come you're so handsome? You know that? I can't sleep at night because of you."

"Su Xiaoxiao, have you had too much to drink?"

Unexpectedly, Pei Yuan was no longer as strong as Su Xiaoxiao. He was pinned to the spot by Su Xiaoxiao and couldn't move, and he also had to endure her smell of alcohol.

"You've had too much to drink. Let me take you back to your room to rest!"

"I don't want to, I want you to stay here with me..."

Su Xiaoxiao clung tightly to Pei Yuan's clothes.

She buried her head in Pei Yuan's neck; it was quite comfortable lying there.

At first, Pei Yuan was disobedient and kept fidgeting, so Su Xiaoxiao put her arms around Pei Yuan's right shoulder and said, "Don't move! Your shoulder is for Brother Gou to lean on, won't you let me lean on it? You two were so intimate in the play, why did you say that he smelled so good..."

Pei Yuan frowned as he listened to Su Xiaoxiao complaining, "What are you talking about?"

Slowly, Su Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and began to fall fast asleep.

"I...I miss home..."

Su Xiaoxiao murmured and closed her eyes, finally calming down.

After seeing that Su Xiaoxiao had calmed down, Pei Yuan picked her up from the roof and carried her all the way to the room.

They ran into the Emperor and his entourage on the road. "What's wrong with Boss Su?"

"She had drunk a bit too much, so I helped her back to her room."

"Do you need my help?"

"Need not."

Pei Yuan didn't stop walking; he continued to carry Su Xiaoxiao back to the room.

Pei Yuan opened the window of Su Xiaoxiao's room and saw that her clothes were a bit dirty. He frowned and went to find Liu Qiaomei to help Su Xiaoxiao change her clothes. Finally, he covered Su Xiaoxiao with a blanket before leaving.

As the saying goes, it's not the wine that intoxicates, but the person themselves. Su Xiaoxiao's situation is a bit like, how should I put it?

She had been holding back some emotions, and this was the first time she had ever been drunk, and also the first time she had ever felt so relaxed.

When Su Xiaoxiao opened her eyes at noon the next day, she realized that her head was throbbing. She saw that her clothes had been changed, but her breath still smelled of alcohol. She waved her hand at her mouth in disgust.

But I can't remember what happened last night, or who carried me back to the house.
