“I haven’t come out once since I entered the palace. Now’s the opportunity to come out and take a walk today.

“However, we won’t go out and stroll around with great fanfare. Instead, we want to go to your restaurant and eat while looking at the lanterns.” Gu Wanning said.

“Has the palace made any arrangements?” Gu Chengrui looked at the Emperor and asked.

No one could guarantee that the capital was really safe. If someone made trouble tonight, it would be a big problem.

“Don’t worry. Guard Chu and the others are still in the palace. The Sun family has already brought over the Eldest Princess.

“The Grand Empress Dowager and Yangyang will be here soon.”

Gu Chengrui knew that it was useless to say anything after hearing that. Instead, he stood up and said, “You guys chat first. I’ll go and make the arrangements.”

After saying that, he turned around and walked out.

He couldn’t let anything happen to them in his restaurant.

“Sorry to trouble you. When we came out, each of us brought ten guards.

“I’ve also informed the Yan family. I just want the people to have a perfect Lantern Festival without any accidents.” The Emperor nodded.

Gu Chengrui heaved a sigh of relief after hearing that. However, he still went to find Lin Yitian and Lin Yifan to make detailed arrangements.

“Guoguo, do you still remember Uncle?” The Emperor handed Guoguo a string of carved red coral beads.

“Remember. Uncle is the father of Sister Nannan and Brother Yangyang. You’re also the Emperor, and give Guoguo the fragrant and crispy fish bones.” Guoguo nodded.

However, she did not take the bracelet. Instead, she looked at Zhou Ying.

After Zhou Ying smiled and nodded, she accepted it.

“Not bad; you have a good memory.

“Do you like fish bones? Uncle will ask Eunuch Qian to send some over tomorrow.”

“Yes, I do.” Guoguo nodded immediately.

“Is there anything else you want to eat? I’ll send all of them over tomorrow.”

“Ah, egg rolls, and…” Guoguo thought about it seriously.

Zhou Ying raised her head and knocked on her forehead. “You little glutton.

Two is enough. I’ll make the rest for you.”

“Okay.” Guoguo covered her head and pouted.

“Chenglin, is there anything you want to eat?” The Emperor asked Gu Chenglin with a smile.

“Just bring some for Guoguo. Cousin-in-law already makes all kinds of snacks for us every day.”

“Alright, if there’s anything you want to eat, just let me know. Oh, right. Are you going to enrol in the academy tomorrow?” He suddenly asked.

“That’s right. From tomorrow until the capital examination ends, I’m afraid I won’t be able to come back very often.”

“Let’s go. I was just about to test if you have made any progress in your studies.” The Emperor stood up.

Gu Chenglin’s face fell when he heard that.

Zhou Ying pushed him up and said, “Hurry up. It’s a rare opportunity for the Emperor to test you personally. You have to cherish it and check your shortcomings.”

“Got it.” Seeing this, Gu Chenglin could only resign himself to his fate and bring the Emperor back to his courtyard.

After they left, Zhou Ying looked at Gu Wanning and asked, “You didn’t cause a ruckus to leave the palace, did you?”

“No, it was the Emperor who suggested it. When I received the news, I was shocked.”

“That’s good. There will definitely be a lot of people tonight. Try to walk less with your big belly.”

Zhou Ying was immediately curious, as she didn’t want to believe that the Emperor was just coming out to look at the lanterns. She just didn’t know what he was planning.

Not long after, the Grand Empress Dowager rushed over with Yangyang. Other than Nanny Liu, there was also a sixteen- or seventeen-year-old girl.

“Greetings, Grand Empress Dowager.” Zhou Ying hurriedly stood up and greeted her..
