After Ji Ran left, Wuyou went to Tailai to clean up the dishes, and Feng Yan continued to lower her head to carve her bamboo pieces.

Wei Xingzhen went back to the house and changed into clothes, sat down to study not far from Feng Yan.

The house was silent, and only the sound of frogs and insects in the garden could be heard.

As the hour of Hai was about to pass, Feng Yan yawned. She temporarily put down the carving knife and bamboo strips and stretched out her legs.

Wei Xingzhen stood up and walked to Feng Yan at this time. He leaned over and knelt down, and also touched a piece of bamboo that Feng Yan had carved, and looked at it under the lamp.

"A Yan is planning to finish the mat tonight?"

"Yes." Feng Yan rubbed her eyes, "It would be bad if it was not too late... Is Lord Wei's seat ready?"

"Okay." Wei Xingzhen replied, "I bought a ready-made one directly on the street."

Feng Yan laughed, "It's easy to save trouble."

"I'll help A Yan weave the already carved bamboo pieces together." Wei Xingzhen said, then reached out and picked up the silk thread that Feng Yan put aside, "It's faster."

"Thank you... But, Mr. Wei doesn't think it's boring to do these things?"

"No." Wei Xingzhen said as he skillfully twisted three silk threads into a city, then pinched the end of the string and folded it into a string. "This is the first time A Yan has attended a summer banquet in the palace."

"Yeah." Feng Yan nodded.

"The summer banquet starts from You hour and will last until late at night. Even if ordinary people stay there, they will be tired in the end," Wei Xingzhen whispered, "so don't stand it too late."

"...Okay." Feng Yan said softly, "This is the last piece. After the carving, I will come and string the ropes with you."

"Um."

Zishichu, Feng Yan and Wei Xingzhen yawned and returned to the bedroom. They were still sleeping on the bed and the other on the ground as before.

After the lights were turned off, Wei Xingzhen fell asleep quickly, while Feng Yan became more awake as she listened to the nearby breathing.

In fact, if you take it seriously, tomorrow will be her second time to go to the summer banquet.

When she was twelve or thirteen years old, she heard all kinds of interesting things at the summer banquet for the first time since Xiaoqi's mouth. She was envious for a moment and begged her aunt to take her with her the next year. The aunt refused on the grounds that she could not bear the terrifying thoughts of the people in the court.

The next year, she begged Yin Shiyun to lend a helping hand, and Yin Shiyun happily agreed.

At that time, the summer banquet was held in the Peach Blossom Forest by the Luoshui River. However, before the carriage approached Luoshui, Feng Yan was overwhelmed by the thick turbidity.

Finally, Yin Shiyun took her around the nearby mountain road.

On a moonlit night, two young men sat outside the stone pavilion in the mountains, looking at the men and women in gorgeous clothes by the lake at the foot of the mountain from afar.

Fireworks in the distant sky, laughter in the wind, wet rocks and moss in the mountains and forests.

Everything seems to be yesterday.

...

...

The next evening, the summer banquet arrived as scheduled.

The carriage from the Wei Mansion set out from the east gate and slowly headed towards the palace.

Because of the wild spirits that happened not long ago, this year's banquet place was no longer located on the shore of Luoshui, but was changed to the square before Xuanzheng Hall.

The hour of You is approaching, and the Xuanmen is full of people who are coming to the banquet tonight.

Most officials and princes in the court brought their families with their families - who are their favorite concubines and children they value the most are often seen at this time.

Most of the people who are over 60 years old just come to look at the face. After attending the banquet, they will leave from the side door of the palace after they meet Sun Youwei. After all, they are old and can no longer struggle.

Young people will stay until that time when the summer banquet really begins.

Although everyone outside the Xuanmen was holding a high-end posture at this time, the wind was soaked with the smell of fragrant powder and rouge.

The young girls raised their thin sleeves and wiped away the fragrant sweat from their foreheads. Their eyes met the gazes of the boy passing by nearby, and then pretended to be nothing but looked elsewhere.

People whispered to the past, and now all the elders were talking loudly. The others stood silently in their respective positions, waiting for the arrival of the hour of You.

The Wei family's carriage had just entered everyone's sight, and everyone looked here one after another - Mrs. Wei was the matter of knowing Mr. Miao, and it had spread throughout the court and the country in the past few days.

People approached here at the same time, wanting to see what this mysterious woman who never shows up in front of others looks like.

The carriage stopped steadily, and Wei Xingzhen led Feng Yan and fell to the ground.

Feng Yan raised her eyes and saw Li, who was standing on the high ground, waving to herself on the stone steps in the distance - father, Xiaoqi, and Wuro were all there.

"Let's go over there." Feng Yan whispered in Wei Xingzhen's ear.

"good."

Wei Xingzhen stretched out his arm and asked Feng Yan to hold it, then pushed away the crowd and walked towards his parents-in-law's family.

The crowd rushed towards the two of them like a slow tide.

Feng Yan looked ahead, Wei Xingzhen walked so fast that many people had not had time to see her face clearly.

Someone who was bold, because they were not very careful with several people, shouted, "I have seen the young master!"

Feng Yan was stunned for a moment, turned to look at the origin of the sound.

So everyone on that side could see Feng Yan's appearance clearly.

In an instant, people sighed very lightly.

It's a beauty...

The other end responded quickly and shouted immediately.

For a moment, the shouts of "I've seen the young master" rose and rose.

Feng Yan smiled, and no longer paid attention to the hustle and bustle around her.

In the distance, Feng Xiaoqi and Feng Yishu were also looking at this scene.

Feng Yishu was so angry that he was about to rush over to separate Wei Xingzhen and Feng Yan, when he felt Feng Xiaoqi pulling his sleeves.

"What are you doing?" Feng Xiaoqi asked.

"I'll take my sister over!"

"Don't move!" Feng Xiaoqi held Feng Yishu's arm tightly with both hands, "Don't you think that Sister Ah tonight looks different from before?"

Feng Yishu hesitated for a while and turned around and looked at Qimei, "What's the difference?"

"Sister... is laughing."

"Sister is always smiling?"

Feng Xiaoqi didn't say anything, but his hands tightened.

Yes, Sister is always laughing, but it looks particularly fresh and vivid tonight - this makes Feng Xiaoqi suddenly feel complicated.

Is it because of... Wei Xingzhen?

But this guy...

Thinking of the last time that took the risk to make Yin Shiyun meet with his sister, Feng Xiaoqi frowned.

"Anyway, Sister is happy now. Don't go to ruin the scenery. If you do it too much and make Sister hate it, then we will do whatever we do in the future - instead, it will be cheaper to Wei Xingzhen."

"But--" Feng Yishu glanced at him and saw Yin Shiyun who was also looking at Feng Yan not far away.

He stood alone beside Taishi Yin and Taishi's wife, and also looked at Feng Yan.

The light was dim and Feng Yishu couldn't see his expression clearly for a moment.

"It's so strange..." Li was confused on the side, "What's going on in Yan'er? As soon as she got married, she was like a change in her temperament. She used to never go anywhere, but just loved to stay alone. Now she can get along wherever she is lively."

Feng Yuandao smiled and said, "It's better to be lively. Everyone is like a family when they get together."

Soon, the sound of gongs, drums and horns came from the palace gate.

Everyone stopped talking and turned to the direction of Xuanmen. An arrow through the city tower shot into the sky, bringing a red trajectory like the tail of a comet - and then countless star rains exploded above everyone's heads.
