After finishing their meal and returning to Rujingyuan, Jiang Changning took Prince Jin and asked, "Is there a solar eclipse in the Queen Mother's house?"

King Jin saw that there was no fear in her eyes, with a hint of excitement, "Aren't you afraid?"

"What's so scary? I still want to see it." Jiang Changning said with a smile.

King Jin smiled, full of joy, "You are so bold. Others say that something bad will happen to you if you watch the solar eclipse. Why aren't you afraid?"

"It is written in miscellaneous books that a solar eclipse is an ordinary astronomical phenomenon and does not have any bad omen."

"This miscellaneous book is worth reading." King Jin said with a smile.

"The books are piled up in the wing of the West Cross Courtyard. If you want to see them, go find them yourself." Jiang Changning knew that he didn't have the free time to look for books, so he said this deliberately, as if there really was that book.

King Jin didn't really want to read the book, but he thought it was quite good. He smiled and said, "The day after tomorrow, you can have someone prepare a large basin of clear oil. When I come back, we can read it together."

"Concubine Mother will be unhappy." Jiang Changning said.

"Don't tell her about such a small thing, lest she worry."

Jiang Changning smiled and nodded, "I understand."

There is an inexplicable excitement about doing bad things together and hiding it from adults.

On the day of the solar eclipse, Jiang Changning asked Mrs. Cui to prepare a large copper basin of clear oil and place it in the middle of the yard. Without goggles, she could only watch the solar eclipse in this native way.

After a while, King Jin came back.

Jiang Changning, who was sitting on a chair in front of the copper basin, waved to him, "Come quickly."

Prince Jin went over, sat on a big chair with her, and held her in his arms.

"How much longer?" Jiang Changning asked.

"If Qin Tianjian's calculation is correct, there is about a quarter of an hour left." Prince Jin held her hand, which was a little cold, "Bring me a cloak."

Jiang Changning looked up at the sky. There were clouds in the sky. The clouds moved slowly, covering the sun from time to time. The sunlight was not too dazzling.

As she was watching, her eyes suddenly darkened.

Prince Jin covered her eyes, "Don't look directly, it will hurt your eyes. Lower your head and look at the oil basin."

After saying that, he let go of his hand.

Xiulan sent a cloak, and Prince Jin put it on himself, then pulled the cloak and wrapped Jiang Changning in it.

Jiang Changning smiled and snuggled into Prince Jin's arms obediently,

The wind became stronger, the sky became darker, the clouds dispersed, and the sun's rays were white instead of the usual yellow.

Jiang Changning couldn't help it, and wanted to look up to the sky again, but Prince Jin held him down, "Be good, don't be naughty."

In the oil basin, a black shadow began to block the sun.

"Ah, the tengu is here." Jiang Changning said with a smile.

"There is no Tiangu, this is the moon." King Jin explained.

Of course Jiang Changning knew it was the moon, she deliberately said it was a tengu.

I saw the moon slowly covering up the sun, without a trace of light, and it became dark, just like night.

"It's a bit cold without the sun shining on it," Jiang Changning said.

Prince Jin hugged her tighter and said, "The sun will come out soon."

"Before I offered the peppers and sang together, I first encountered the solar eclipse book. The spring is coming, and the dark hair is coming. Lin Dou is not in vain." Jiang Changning raised his head and said.

"It's not as good as a hook, but a new one is like the beginning of the month. Your Majesty went to Fang Qidan, and the sun shines brightly." The King of Jin leaned over and pecked her on the lips.

After a while, the moon slowly moved away, and the sun gradually appeared again, shining brightly, and the earth saw light again.

Rujingyuan was controlled like an iron barrel by Xiulan and the others. The couple watched the solar eclipse without anyone noticing.

A study in the Duke of Wei's mansion was burned down, but no one was injured or injured. However, on the day of the solar eclipse, a fire broke out in the mansion for no reason. This was bad luck.

So Wei Guogong's wife took the female family members of the palace and went to the Qingxu Temple in the city to make a peace ceremony.

But the peace ritual was of no use. In the afternoon, when the women were on their way back home, a cat suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

The cat jumped into the car and pounced on the driver.

The driver panicked and tightened the reins hard. The horse neighed and raised its front hooves high.

With a "boom", the second carriage, the carriage in which the Duke of Wei and his wife were riding, overturned and fell to the ground.

"Madam!" the followers exclaimed.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Mrs. Wei Guogong, who was sitting in the first carriage, was hit by the second carriage because the carriage suddenly stopped. Her head hit the wall of the carriage hard, causing a big swelling.

.

Just when the people in Duke Wei's mansion were in chaos, a man in the alley next to him who was observing all this showed a strange smile, turned around, and quietly left from the other end of the alley.

The wife of the Crown Prince of Wei was rescued and was even more injured than her mother-in-law. Not only was her head broken and bleeding, but her left arm was also fractured and her right foot was sprained.

It would be better not to have this peace ceremony.

The troublemaking cat had already disappeared without a trace, and no one could be found to settle the score. The Duke of Wei could only admit that he was unlucky.

When the news reached the Jin Palace, Jiang Changning was tasting the cookies made by Lady Cui.

The cookies are crispy and crispy, with a great taste.

When King Jin entered the courtyard, he smelled a sweet aroma and asked with a smile: "What are you cooking again?"

"There are two kinds of cookies, sweet and salty. Try them and see which one you like?" Jiang Changning still held half a cookie in his hand.

Prince Jin leaned over and bit the half of the biscuit in her hand, "Not bad, crispy and delicious, sweet but not greasy."

"There are so many on the table, you are trying to steal mine." Jiang Changning picked a biscuit and handed it to him, "You can try the salty ones again."

King Jin took the biscuit, bit into half of it, and handed the other half to Jiang Changning's mouth, "I just ate half of you, now I'm giving you half."

Jiang Changning gave him an irritated look, "I didn't ask you to pay it back."

Even so, she still ate half of the piece.

"Sweet food tastes better than salty food. Make more sweet food." King Jin said seriously.

"I know." Jiang Changning had long discovered that King Jin's taste was on the sweet side.

"And that's all?"

"Concubine Mu and Kang Ren were given a plate of two flavors each."

"If you eat this piece, don't eat it. You won't be able to eat dinner for a while."

After Jiang Changning finished the biscuit in his hand, he ordered the maid to take out the rest and share it.

A few days later, it was March 3rd, the Shangsi Festival.

Although I cannot go out as a guest because of my filial piety, I can still go for an outing in the countryside.

In the early morning, I took the concubine and Princess Kangren in a simple car to Hongluo Lake outside the city.

Hongluo Lake is located near Hongluo Temple, with beautiful scenery and green trees.

In addition to the beautiful scenery, the most important reason for coming here is that there are people "giving away children" here.

The most important customary activity of the Shangsi Festival is to worship Gaoqiu, the god of marriage and reproduction.

Gaozi is also called Jiaozi. According to the "Book of Rites", it is said that when the Gaoxin family came out, the black bird left eggs, and the bamboo slips swallowed them and created a contract.

The later king established his shrine in the name of a matchmaker, Jiaxiang, and transformed the matchmaker into a god.

"Brother Yu, daughter-in-law, come quickly and choose a gourd." The concubine greeted.

Behind the concubine is an old woman wearing a half-worn red gown.

Her hair was already gray, but she had a small red flower on her temple, and she carried a basket covered with red cloth on her arm. She was the mother-in-law who gave birth to her baby by the Hongluo Lake.
