The so-called tile tower lantern was a tall hollow tower made of bricks and tiles. Firewood was added to the fire and it was lit after the moon worship. The moon worship this time was naturally different from the moon worship at home. The scene was very grand and the venue was set in the square in front of Wan Deng Huo.
Wan Deng Huo was the main building in the capital that hosted large-scale gatherings. It was three stories high and there were a total of nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine lanterns inside and outside the building. However, all the lanterns were lit only two or three times a year.
There was still some distance to Wan Deng Huo. Everyone got off the carriage and prepared to walk.
Tonight, there was no need for servants to carry lanterns to lead the way. The place they were at was already brightly lit. The lanterns came from all directions and the small shadows gathered at their feet. Jingwan was amazed by such a scene. Qi 'an prefecture also celebrated the festival, but it was still not as grand as this. It was only the Mid-Autumn Festival. She wondered how grand the lantern festival would be.
A few older brothers went out as escorts.
Speaking of which, the eldest sister-in-law, little Wang Shi, would only be out of confinement tomorrow. This was extremely fortunate. If the child was born a day earlier, it would be the Mid-Autumn Festival on July 15th. That would be terrible. It would be another kind of ghost child.
In fact, when they went out, Jingwan wanted to let her eldest cousin brother and third brother stay at home to accompany her wife. However, the elders did not agree. Jingwan did not know what little Wang Shi was thinking. On the other hand, Sun Yijia was purely chasing Luo Jingbo out. She was fine at home with a large group of people accompanying her. It did not matter whether she was there or not. However, it was different when her younger brothers and sisters went out. They were not few in number, so how could there not be a few older brothers following them?
Moreover, the few people from the Gu family also shamelessly followed them. However, Jingwan ignored them. That Miss Lian 'er still wanted to be Luo Jingbo's concubine. Although Jingwan blocked her path rudely, when the girl saw her cousin, Luo Jingbo, although she did not say anything, she still looked like she was about to cry. Her expression was gloomy as if she was looking at a heartless man in the carriage. Luo Jingbo met them two or three times. They had goosebumps all over their bodies and took a detour when they saw him. The brother and sister pair ignored them, so the other brothers and sisters of the Luo Family naturally treated them as invisible people.
Luo Jingbo walked beside Jingwan and told her about the various festivals in Beijing. Naturally, he was able to bring out a lot of interesting things. Jingwan was very happy to hear this.
Originally, Jingwan was already engaged, so her protector should be a certain someone. It should be known that tonight was a good time to openly date. Unfortunately, the Emperor had set up a family banquet. Even if he wanted to come out and compensate Jingwan, it was definitely not now. If Emperor Le Chengdi had a stroke and did not let her go, and wanted to hold a small lantern festival in the palace, he would probably … come out even earlier. According to a certain someone's character, if he wanted to use those boring things to trap him, it was better to wash up and sleep. It was easier to come out in dreams.
Although there were a lot of people, because there were guards around the courtyard, the journey was very easy. There would definitely not be a crowded situation. Those commoners would also not come here. After all, this was a place where high officials and nobles parked their cars. If they squeezed in for no reason, they might be accused of having bad intentions. How wronged would that be?
If they had nothing to do, they would generally not come here. This was also the first time Jingwan saw the Ten Thousand Lanterns Tower. At this moment, the lanterns inside and outside the tower were all lit up. It was brightly lit and looked like a big shining treasure. If one looked at it from afar, the effect would probably be even more realistic.
At this moment, the incense table had already been set up and all the tributes were also on the table.
Several towers had also been built around it. Not only were they hollow, but in order to conform to the meaning of unity, the towers were also left with round holes. It looked very artistic and beautiful. It was much more troublesome than making square holes.
Jingwan only knew from her third brother's explanation that if one stood on the central axis of the lanterns and saw the moon hanging over the top of the lanterns, the moon worship would begin. Jingwan stood over to take a look and estimated that there was not much time left.
"I wonder which madam is in charge of the moon worship this year?"
"It's the wife of the Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."
Jingwan listened from the side. She also knew from her third brother that there would be a different person in charge of the moon worship every year. The Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was Noble Consort Su's biological brother. The person in charge of the moon worship tonight was her sister-in-law.
The Left and Right Assistant Ministers of the Ministry of Revenue were not on the same page. However, if the current Minister of Revenue stepped down, this position would most likely fall into the Left Assistant Minister's hands. Prince Rui and the others had always been plotting. Perhaps it would happen in the next one or two years.
Jingwan thought for a moment. It seemed that her father's name was in the Ministry of Revenue.
"Elder Sister, Elder Sister …" Just as Jingwan was a little distracted, Yu Yao rushed up from behind and hugged her.
Jingwan pulled her and turned around. "Yu Yao, you're here? Just you alone? "
"Other than Father and Mother, everyone else in the family came out. I didn't want to stay with them, so I directly came here." Yu Yao said.
Jingwan glanced at the group of servant girls and matrons who were closely following her. She was not worried that anything would happen to her.
Although Yu Yao had spent more time with Jingwan, the age gap between the two of them was quite large. When there were children of the same age, Yu Yao was more likely to play with them. This allowed Yu Yao to get to know her two younger cousins. The two young ladies quickly chattered together.
Not long after, Yuan Qiaoqiao and Zhou Yingshuang appeared together. There were also many other people who knew each other. They greeted each other. As time passed, more and more people gathered. Jingwan guessed that this place and this time should be the most crowded place and time tonight.
A beautiful middle-aged woman arrived. The moon worship was about to officially begin.
The seats in the middle were all empty. The servants and men of each family all retreated.
Although the moon worship was entirely voluntary and there were no rules about who should stand where, there were "unspoken rules" everywhere. Those with lower backgrounds would consciously move back a little, and those girls from commoner families could only stand at the periphery. Jingwan directly led Yu Yao to the front. At this time, there was no need to be modest.
Jingwan's aunt's younger sister-in-law subconsciously followed Jingwan. However, she was stopped by someone. "Miss Gu, that's not a place for you to go. It's okay if you don't know the rules, but don't implicate the Luo Family and make others say that they don't know the rules."
The girl's eyes immediately turned red. However, she was not as innocent as the other mother and daughter. She did not really cry. However, the shame in her heart made her feel as if her internal organs were on fire. She kept feeling that the people around her were looking at her and pointing at her. This made her feel ashamed and angry. She was so ashamed that she did not dare to raise her head.
The five, six, and seven girls of the Luo Family glanced at her. They did not even want to go to the front.
Naturally, no one cared about this small episode.
The entire moon worship process was similar to the one at home. It did not take long.
After the moon worship, the crowd dispersed. They played, finished the lanterns, enjoyed the lanterns, and played games. Although they did not really play for the whole night, it was appropriate for them to play in the middle of the night.
Yu Yao and the two girls of the Luo Family who were slightly older than her got along well. They wanted to meet up and play together. Yu Yao had enough people and the Luo Family could also spare some people. Therefore, there was no need to worry about their safety. They only needed to arrange a time and place to go home and let them go.
Yuan Qiaoqiao excitedly pulled Jingwan and Zhou Yingshuang to play with the water lanterns.
The river that passed through the city was just beside them. They did not need to go through Taiyuan.
There were many river lanterns by the river. There were many styles and most of them were still lotus shaped.
Yuan Qiaoqiao bought a lot of them in one go. She said that everyone in the family would have one.
Jingwan and Zhou Yingshuang did not know whether to laugh or cry. The river lanterns were wishing lanterns or praying lanterns. If a person wished or prayed for blessings, the gods would not be able to take care of it. If you wanted to release so many by yourself, it would be even more impossible to fulfill your wish. However, this was just for show. She wanted to express her wishes or write something unrealistic.
Jingwan originally wanted to wait for her cousin Qiaoqiao to spend a lot of time writing something. In the end, she directly took out her pouch and took out a piece of paper that she had already prepared. She placed one in each of the water lanterns. Her movements were very nimble.
Alright, this was not an impromptu idea at all.
Jingwan only bought one lantern. After thinking for a bit, she wrote: My family is safe and sound.
"What about this prince?"
His words were so close to her ear that it scared Jingwan quite a bit. She turned her head to glare at the culprit who had suddenly appeared. She gritted her teeth and said, "Your Highness, people can scare people to death if they try to scare people."
Li Hongyuan curled his lips into a smile, "It's this prince's fault. Next time, I'll definitely remind you earlier."
The killing power of this bastard's smile was too great. Moreover, his face was so gentle. It was simply too frightening.
That's why it was said that this person who looked good really had its benefits. Jingwan thought that she was also a common person.
Li Hongyuan also took a lantern and quickly wrote a few words.
Jingwan didn't go to look. Because of a certain person's appearance, the surroundings had become a bit strange. For example, Zhou Yingshuang and Yuan Qiaoqiao had become more restrained. Their smiles had stiffened a lot. At the same time, there were people who were secretly looking over here. Some recognized them, some didn't. In short, Jin Qinwang, who had restrained his hostility, was very eye-catching.
Jingwan inadvertently glanced at her aunt's sister-in-law, Miss Gu, who had been following her like a little tail after coming out. She was staring at a certain person in a daze. That expression was as if she had lost her soul.
