Ever since the two of them made things clear, their trust in each other has reached an unprecedented level.

After that day, Song Xu suddenly became free. Except for getting up early for the daily morning court session, he stayed in the yard with Yue Shengyi at other times, occasionally handling some necessary matters.

The time they spent together became the same as before, and before they knew it, the hot summer had passed and the cool autumn had arrived.

Fengwu State also has the custom of celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival. On the fifteenth day, a curfew is lifted. Before it gets completely dark, the ten-mile-long street in the most lively Nanwai City in the capital has already been lit up with colorful lanterns.

It was still early when Song Xu and Yue Shengyi came out of the palace. The last ray of red glow in the sky was still floating and refused to dissipate.

This Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet was the first time that Song Xu and Yue Shengyi appeared in front of everyone together.

Song Xu wore a dark blue round-necked gown with gold embroidery and blue phoenixes, while Yue Shengyi wore a crescent-shaped white round-necked gown with narrow gold edges and plum blossom embroidery. Except for the different patterns, the two people's clothes were almost the same, allowing anyone with a discerning eye to see the unusual relationship between the two.

The intimate actions of the two during the meal made many people secretly speculate in their hearts, and some people who had ideas about Song Xu's vacant throne kept casting their eyes at the empress sitting in the main seat.

But the Queen's lack of reaction frightened everyone. After a moment, most of the people sitting in the hall began to make plans.

Being stared at by so many eyes with different meanings, Yue Shengyi felt a little uneasy at first, and his hands on his knees were clenched tightly.

Or Song Xu simply held her slightly cold hand, and then swept his cold eyes over all the ministers who were staring at him, and the threat in his eyes was obvious.

After everyone's gazes were withdrawn, Song Xu picked up his chopsticks and picked up food for Yue Shengyi, just like he usually did in the Princess's Mansion.

Without so many eyes staring at him, Yue Shengyi was indeed relieved. He looked down and saw that his bowl was already full of food. His heart warmed. He raised his eyes and smiled at Song Xu, then picked up his chopsticks and slowly began to eat.

Song Xu ate a few bites perfunctorily and then put down his chopsticks. He watched Yue Shengyi eat with a smile on his lips, and at the same time he took the time to glare at anyone who tried to stealthily look over at him.

Seeing Song Xu's expression change so quickly and accurately, the queen couldn't bear to watch. As soon as the palace banquet was over, the queen sent the two away.

When the two of them stood outside the palace wall, Yue Shengyi asked blankly:
"Your Majesty"

"Ok?"
Song Xu tilted his head to look at her, with a faint smile in his eyes.

"It's ok, shall we go back now?"
Yue Sheng was also stunned for a moment, then immediately shook his head, swallowed the words that were destined to be useless, and then changed the subject.

The smile on Song Xu's lips deepened, and he put his fingers to his lips and blew a loud whistle.
"No, I'm taking my sister somewhere."

As soon as he finished speaking, a white horse appeared not far away and ran straight towards them.

The two of them rode together, and Song Xu, who was relatively petite, naturally leaned on Yue Shengyi's arms. The two hands of different sizes held the reins together, and their body temperatures blended together, a temperature that could not be cooled by the cool breeze at night.

"where to?"

Yue Shengyi asked softly in Song Xu's ear. She was caught off guard by Song Xu's turn and a kiss. Even though there were few people on the road around, she still looked around worriedly, and finally her face turned red.

Song Xu succeeded in stealing the fragrance, and she burst into laughter, then she kept laughing and snuggled into Yue Shengyi's arms.

When she finally stopped laughing, the heat on Yue Shengyi's face slowly dissipated.

"This is the direction of Nanwai City. Are we going to Shili Changjie?" "Yes, it's the Shili Changjie in Nanwai City. Today is Mid-Autumn Festival. I'm sure the Shili Changjie is already filled with beautiful lanterns. It must be very lively."

Yue Shengyi nodded as he listened, then he remembered that Song Xu had his back to him and couldn't see his movements, so he quickly responded.

Even though she had never been there, she had heard people say that the most lively place in the entire capital was not the red-light district but the ten-mile-long street in the south outer city.

Ten miles long street, ten miles long street, buildings hidden with pearls, jade and gold, shops full of delicacies, deep alleys with the aroma of wine, small scenes on the street, it is the most prosperous ten miles in the world.

The colorful lights merged into a colorful piece, almost illuminating half of the dark sky. The crowds of people kept shuttling back and forth, the stalls filled with fragrant food, the dazzling array of goods, the ten-mile long street really lived up to its reputation.

lively.

As soon as Yue Shengyi stepped into the ten-mile-long street, this word was the only thing left in his mind and eyes.

Perhaps it was because she had stayed in the deserted Princess Residence for too long, and when she came into contact with the bustling "Prosperous Sky", Yue Shengyi couldn't control herself. No matter what kind of stall or shop it was, she had to get closer to take a look.

Especially the food stalls, she spent the longest time looking at them, but unfortunately she had the heart but not the stomach. Who told her that she had already been fed by Song Xu at the palace banquet?
Yue Shengyi reluctantly withdrew his gaze and tilted his head to look at Song Xu beside him with resentment in his eyes, then pulled her forward.

It's really hard to just look at it but not be able to eat it.

Song Xu curled his lips and smiled silently, while following Yue Shengyi forward, he raised his hands behind his back, and the elusive secret guards appeared. With an expressionless face, he took out silver and squeezed in front of the food stall, bought one portion and then quickly disappeared.

The ten-mile long street is a busy street full of shops. Ordinary people usually can't walk for so long, but Yue Shengyi and Song Xu are both martial artists, and they didn't stay in any place for too long. When they realized that they had reached the end of the long street, the candles of the lanterns hanging around were about to burn out because no one came to add more.

Even though he felt a little unsatisfied, Yue Sheng still hooked Song Xu's hand.

"Ah Xu, we're done shopping, let's go home."

"Okay, let's go home."

Song Xu chuckled and held Yue Shengyi's hand tightly. In the other hand, he held a carved plain glass lantern with warm yellow candlelight. It was a gift that Yue Shengyi won not long ago after racking his brains to guess the riddle correctly.

One of them enjoyed the fun, the other received a gift, and both returned home contentedly, riding together as they did when they came here.

When Yue Shengyi saw the table full of various foods, his jaw-dropping look successfully made Song Xu laugh.

"Ah Xu, why did you buy so much? Can you finish it?"

Yue Shengyi carefully looked at the various foods on the table, which were almost all the ones he had seen when he stopped on the ten-mile long street. His heart warmed up, but he also began to worry.

Although she had walked along the ten-mile-long street and had basically digested everything she had eaten at the palace banquet, there was still so much food on the table. How long would it take her to finish it?
However, having said that, Yue Shengyi still took a deep breath and decided to give it a try. The food that Ah Xu bought for her must not be wasted.

Song Xu just watched Yue Shengyi frown and hesitate for a moment, then sit down with a smile on his face and prepare to start eating. The smile in his eyes deepened for a moment.

Sister Shengsheng is so cute.
