Shen Qi hadn't gone far just now. Although he didn't like the imperial concubine, he couldn't leave her behind, so he hid in the crowd and let the secret guards come forward to take the imperial concubine away in time.

Rather than wanting to cling to the imperial concubine who always wanted to talk to him, he wanted to take Su Zhiruan to play with her, watching her constantly being attracted by various strange gadgets, and finally returning to him.

This faint sense of satisfaction will make him feel that he is a needed person, rather than the longing for benefits in the eyes of the imperial concubine.

For him, this kind of life is more selfless than staying with a noble concubine.

For a moment, he didn't even want to go back to the palace, follow those boring etiquette, and deal with endless official duties every day.

Everyone in the world envies the life of being an emperor, but they never really think about what it takes to be an emperor.

Shen Qi looked at the crowds of people around him, but did not let Su Zhiruan out of his sight.

On the day when the curfew is lifted, countless women from the boudoir will travel together. After seeing Shen Qi, many women are ready to talk to him.

But when they saw a tall and handsome man strolling up to a girl to buy a mask, the women could only choose to leave with regret.

"Young Master?" Su Zhiruan paused, and then felt the warmth of his palm suddenly appear on his face. A faint scent of ambergris passed from the tip of her nose, behind her ears, and finally fell on her hair. Man Put on a red fox mask on her, "You..."

When the vendor next to them saw them like this, they subconsciously thought they were a couple, and then they started talking nonsense, saying whatever they had to say.

"Ouch! I think you two are special. This handsome man and beautiful woman will definitely live a long life, grow old together, have children and grandchildren, and live a happy life! You two bought masks, which are simply the best match for going to the night market. , this way, others can’t see clearly your looks, but when they see the masks, they immediately know that you two are a match made in heaven, and no one can object to this!”

Not knowing what he said made Shen Qi happy, Su Zhiruan looked at him without hesitation and waved his hand to buy all the masks here, and chose a pure black fox mask from them.

"What are you doing standing still? Put it on my young master?" Shen Qi put the mask on Su Zhiruan's hand, and the words that came out of his mouth were very natural, as if the two of them were a couple made for each other.

She stood on tiptoes, carefully put the mask on him, and tied a knot at the back of his head.

After putting it on, Su Zhiruan lowered his head unintentionally, but saw His Majesty the Emperor who was slightly bent on his knees.

So...that is to say...

In order to let her put on the mask for him, Shen Qi quietly bent down, and then watched her move slowly with a smile.

Either the fireworks in the sky are too flashy, or the people around are too noisy.

Infinite tenderness surged in Shen Qi's heart.

"Young Master, are you afraid of being recognized?" It was a relaxing day like today, and she was outside again. Shen Qi seemed to be in a good mood, so she asked directly, "Or is someone following you?"

Shen Qi smiled heartily, and then shook his head generously, "Neither."

While he was talking, he slowly took the girl's hand, and his dry and warm hands covered her slightly cold hands. The small objects that were bought or given to her were handed over to the secret guards by him. Wei carried it to her by the way.

"Why didn't you guess this?" Shen Qi slowly slid along the edge of the red fox mask on her face, and finally landed on her neck. The two were now facing each other, and he slowly said the next sentence , "There is another possibility, I want to get together with the little red fox on your face."

Su Zhiruan raised his eyes and clearly saw the sincerity in his eyes.

From her current angle, the sky is full of fireworks, the Milky Way slowly moving along the moat, and the extremely perfect full moon in the sky. The voices of people, cries, joy, and shouts all around are mixed together. This is a prosperous age for the people.

"Actually, today, if my mother had not arranged for the concubine to follow me, I originally wanted to bring you to the private sector, but it's a pity..." Shen Qi's eyes were filled with a trace of regret.

But what the secret guards and Su Zhiruan heard was not his regret, but Shen Qi's self-proclaimed statement.

"I"

As the emperor, he represents the symbol of the dynasty and calls himself me.

He is aloof, the king of a country and the master of a dynasty.

But today, he called himself "I" in front of a little palace maid.

Su Zhiruan was a modern person, so the level of shock was okay, but for the secret guards who followed them at any time, this was a shock.

Shen Qi didn't even notice it himself. He was not in a good mood at first because his plan was broken.

But in the end, the imperial concubine left, and he and Su Zhiruan still walked together. This can be regarded as reaching the same destination through different paths.

As it is now, that's fine.

The two found a good spot on the edge of the moat, and then sat down to watch the fireworks together.

For Su Zhiruan, all this is quite novel. She is a modern person. If you want to see this kind of ancient style, you can only see it in TV series or movies.

Seeing it with your own eyes and having it filmed deliberately by the director are two completely different experiences.

Shen Qi enjoyed this moment, the excitement in the tranquility, the silence in the hustle and bustle.

……

The next day is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

This day is also an important day for the royal family. Every year, the royal family holds a family banquet in the evening. The princes who have been crowned kings will return to the capital, and various concubines, even the concubines in the temple will be invited out.

The entire palace needs to be taken seriously and carefully prepared.

Even Su Zhiruan is responsible for all aspects of Zichen Palace.

The venue for the palace banquet tonight was the largest palace in the palace.

It is surrounded by mountains and rivers. Next to it is the Imperial Garden and the Cambridge Water Pavilion. The air is filled with the fragrance of flowers, and there are auspicious lights and colorful flowers.

The concubines in the harem had already put on their beautiful new clothes in an attempt to win the favor of the emperor on this day.

There were also some concubines with lower status who heard about Su Zhiruan's favor, so they directly copied her outfit, wearing a goose-yellow skirt.

As the most noble woman in the harem besides the Queen Mother, the imperial concubine naturally dressed up in a complicated manner.

The Queen Mother met with all the imperial ladies, princesses and the like early in the morning.

The harem hasn't been so lively for a long time.

In the evening, Su Zhiruan calculated that it was about seven o'clock, and night gradually fell.

The palace banquet gradually began.

Su Zhiruan followed Shen Qi, with Ziyu on the other side. In front of them was Xiao Fuzi who had been busy all day.

Xiao Fuzi was even more busy today. He went to see many princes.

After everyone arrived, Xiao Fuzi shook off the dust.

"The Emperor has arrived——"

"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"
