Chapter 45
As the man approached, Zhou Xian Yang immediately recognized who it was.
Wang Coronet was also shocked.
Originally, he only saw the newly burnt paper money at his late wife’s grave and knew that it was the Rong family’s girl who had come to pay her respects again, so he came up to say hello and thank you. He didn’t expect to see King Yu here.
After bowing, Wang Coronet said, “Your Highness and Your Highness are of honorable status, it is not appropriate to come to pay respects to a concubine of a government house.”
“Lord Wang, please don’t tell anyone, okay?” Rong Xiangmian bowed to Lord Wang, she and he met several times a year at the Western Mountain, they were quite familiar with each other, and spoke freely.
Wang Coronation is the minister of the Ministry of Rites, the most important etiquette, of course, the two people so over the limit behavior dissatisfaction. Just ……
He looked at the newlywed couple in front of him, and thought that Yul Wang must be treating the princess very well, so he would condescend to come to this kind of place, and couldn’t help but think of his own time of love with his wife, and was quite sympathetic to the situation.
Then he said: “Your Highness has been paying tribute to my late wife every year, and I am grateful for that. This time, I can turn a blind eye, but in the future you two or do not come again. Whether it’s your biological mother or my late wife, it’s not appropriate for Princess Yu to worship again.”
“I’ll remember, many thanks, Your Honor.” Rong Xiangxian bowed his body to Lord Wang and thanked him, quite like a student’s respect for his teacher.
Knowing that he was a man who valued trust, Zhou Xian Yang returned the salute towards him, “Thank you for Minister Wang’s understanding.”
They went down the mountain and said goodbye, and Rong Xiangmian breathed a sigh of relief, “You scared me to death.”
Zhou Xian Yang remembered how she defended herself just now, and felt even more adorable. He reached behind the veil of her hat and pinched her face.
Rong Xiangmian hastily slapped his hand away, “What are you doing in broad daylight?”
Zhou Xian Yang shook off his hand and smiled.
They rode together again and went to the Caged Moon Temple.
By now, the sun had already set in the west, and most of the visitors had already gone back to their homes, so there wasn’t much barbecue meat left. Rong Xiangmian hurriedly buys a roasted meat, letting Ming Jing reheat it, and orders two teas and a few plates of candied fruits.
Yuhang looks on coldly from the sidelines, this person is still wearing the gray robe of a nun, the nine commandment scars on her head are clearly visible.
Ming Jing waited for the fire and chatted with Xiang Xiang: “Why is the girl so late this year? We are almost closing the stalls.”
Xiangmian did not know how to explain. Ming Jing’s partner on the other side of the bright eyes and bright heart: “Who is this handsome young man in the back?”
Aimi was a bit shy and bit her lip before saying, “This is my husband.”
Husband? Zhou Xian Yang liked this title and the corners of his mouth involuntarily rose.
Watching the young newlywed couple intensely in love, Ming Jing laughed, “So it’s because someone tripped the girl, congratulations.”
The two were teased and looked at each other and looked away in embarrassment.
Xian Yang stared at the meat on Ming Jing’s pot to ease the embarrassment, and when she loaded the meat and handed it over, her hand moved. Her partner asked, “What’s wrong?”
Ming Jing hid it with a laugh, “It’s really a handsome young groom, the girl is blessed.”
Sagami purses her lips and pulls Xian Yang away.
Ming Jing’s partner brought the fruit and refreshments to the tables scattered beside the stall, and brought them water to clean their hands.
The two of them sat, ate roasted meat, drank flower tea, blew the mountain breeze, watched the sunset, and felt that life was infinitely good.
Until the sun was sinking, they went down the mountain back to the city.
On the way, they heard several groups of people talking and traveling in pairs. When they asked, they realized that a famous juggling troupe had arrived in the capital and circled a few acres of land near the Huan Yu Gate, setting up a large venue for performances.
Xian Yang glanced at Rong Xiangshi: “Do you want to go and take a look?”
Of course Rong Xiangmi wanted to go, the jugglers in the palace only had a few tricks up their sleeves, so he didn’t know what was going on outside.
“But, it’s dark, if we go back too late, the people in the palace will be anxious, and the elder government officials will surely have something to say.”
Zhou Xian Yang said, “It’s fine, before I left the house, I already asked someone to bring him a message that it’s rare to have a few days off, so I’m going to have a good time in Jinling, and I may not return until late, or maybe tomorrow morning, so he doesn’t have to worry about it.”
Seeing that Rong Xiangmian was still a bit uneasy, Zhou Xianyang smiled and asked, “You’ve never spent the night outside?”
“Uh-huh.” Rong Xiangmi honestly said, “Either in the palace or at home.”
“Then you can enjoy yourself today, this is the freedom only married people have.” Xian Yang laughed.
Freedom to get married?
Seeing that he was in high spirits, Rong Xiangmian also readily accepted the good advice and experienced the feeling of a wild horse that was out of control.
At night, people were carrying lanterns or torches, and the two of them were leading their horses along the main road outside the city, with the noise of the fireworks and the novelty of it all.
On the way, Zhou Xian Yang took Rong Xiangmian’s hand, “There will be many people later, don’t get lost.”
Rong Xiangmian is a bit nervous, unlike Yu Wang who has been to the south and north of the country, she is a bit excited in her heart.
Approaching the jugglers’ quarters, the crowd is loud and colorful, and it doesn’t feel like it’s nighttime.
All kinds of playing and singing, the program performance is very lively.
Five hundred dollars per person can enter the audience.
They put their horses in the stables of a restaurant, asked someone to feed them some fodder, and then went to watch the show.
Some people were breathing fire, and others were throwing fire meteors, which made the bystanders scream. The performer gets more and more pleased, deliberately scaring them, once even almost spraying fire onto Rong Xiangmian’s face, fortunately Yu Wang reacts quickly, his back blocking for her, otherwise he would have been burned.
The two of them stroll along with the crowd and watch the spectators, then head towards the circle where the most people gather. Inside, a small stage was set up. In the center of the stage, a tall wooden pole was erected, and two soft ropes were pulled from the top of the pole to the ground on the left and right sides to hold it in place.
The two little girls went up to the stage and made a bow, and in the curious eyes of the onlookers, they each stepped on the rope from both sides. Then they stepped on the rope out of thin air, angled their bodies, and walked a little bit higher.
Rong Xiang See clutched Yu Wang’s hand throughout the whole process, his palms sweating with nervousness, fearing that the two little girls would fall down. However, they are walking on the rope as if they are on a level surface.
When they reached the high place, a little girl’s feet suddenly stepped on the air, the crowd shouted in fear, while she just sat on the rope, hands one, lit up, it turned out to be intentional.
“Alas, scared to death.” The crowd screamed again in false alarm.
Until they got to the top of that wooden pole, where one stood at the top and the other had run out of room to stand. Suddenly, she foot a little, dexterous flip, even a heel to stand on the shoulders of the companion.
The crowd applauded: “At such a young age, it’s amazing!”
Someone in the class held a tray in front of the crowd to collect the reward, Rong Xiangxian immediately took out his wallet and set aside a piece of silver. The man immediately thanked him, “Thank you, ma’am.”
Your Highness? Rong Xiangmian frowned, it was the first time she heard this title. Ming Jing was still calling her girl!
At this time, King Yu raised his hand and sent her loose jade hairpin a bit further into her hair.
Yes, she had taken off the curtain hat and was wearing a woman’s bun.
Zhou Xian Yang leaned close to her ear and laughed softly, “Ma’am, put your purse away, don’t expose your wealth.”
