Half an hour later, in front of the Temple of the Goddess of the Sea.

When we landed yesterday, Abao was very curious about the huge wooden bridge next to the Sea Goddess Temple. What was the use of it? Why didn't anyone pass by on the bridge?

I saw it with my own eyes tonight and finally knew the answer.

It turns out that the Temple of Goddess of the Sea is located at the junction of the Fanfang in the south of the city and the old street in the west of the city.

In front of the temple is the Yuanlou Street Market, and behind the temple is the Old Street Siling Pagoda.

Even though the four cities of Yuezhou each had their own checkpoints on their city walls, King Xuan would personally order the opening of this old bridge during the Lantern Festival on July 8 every year.

Tonight, surrounding the sea temple is the most bustling and lively street market in Yuezhou.

People come and go, the crowds are surging, and the place is bustling.

There is a wide variety of food to choose from.

In this round building market, the lights are dazzling.

There are all kinds of colorful lanterns with strange shapes.

On the bamboo racks on both sides of the Yuanlou Street Market, there are heavy sea dragon lanterns floating slowly, crab lanterns with claws and fangs bared, soft and colorful jellyfish lanterns, chubby lanterns decorated with shells, long strings of sea snake lanterns, transparent silver shrimp lanterns, and fish lanterns with bubble eyes...

"Wow! Uncle, look! It looks like the Crystal Dragon Palace!"

The streets are bustling with people coming and going, and the moist sea breeze from afar blows in, ruffling my hair.

Xuanyuan Fengran gently took Abao's hand and took her to a street stall.

The stall owner was an old lady who greeted us warmly, "This is dumplings! What would you like to add to it, girl? We have shredded eggs, shredded kelp, shrimp, bean sprouts..."

A Bao looked up in confusion, staring at his uncle Feng Ran.

Xuanyuan Fengran encouraged in a hoarse voice: "Just pick what you like."

Hearing this, Abao picked bean sprouts and shredded eggs.

Having said that, the old lady rolled up the batter neatly and put it into the iron pan. A round and thin pancake was then formed. She then wrapped it with the ingredients chosen by Abao and put it in a wooden bowl.

When the old lady handed the dumplings to Abao, Abao was still confused.

Xuanyuan Fengran smiled gently and took the payment naturally.

Then, he took his little girl's hand and sat side by side at the stone table at the bridge head.

At this time, Jian Qian pushed through the crowd and hurried over with a lunch box.

"Your Highness! The sea duck soup you ordered is here." Jian Qian brought out the sea duck soup from the food box, and the aroma filled his nose. "Your Highness, you don't know! There's a long line at the wine shop! Fortunately, Your Highness ordered me early!"

A Bao was stunned, "Uncle Emperor?"

"The Chuyue Lantern Festival is interesting, and the Silver Pearl Sea Duck Soup, which is only sold tonight, is a must-try. I'd like to let you try it." Xuanyuan Fengran served the duck soup to A Bao, "But the soup that was originally supposed to be sent to the mansion can only be drunk at this stone table at the bridgehead."

"You're still hungry, duck soup and dumplings should be a good combination."

Upon hearing this, A Bao suddenly understood.

It turned out that he had always remembered that she hadn't had dinner.

A Bao lowered his eyes and chuckled, "Actually, I..."

Before he finished speaking, Hongxiu hurried out of the crowd carrying a food box.

"Your Highness! I hope I didn't delay anything! The pork rib porridge has just been cooked!"

"No delay, just right."

As he spoke, under Xuanyuan Fengran's stern stare, A Bao embarrassedly opened the food box and brought the warming cup to Xuanyuan Fengran.

"Even though I'm angry, you can't go hungry."

The more A Bao acted self-righteously, the deeper the smile in Xuanyuan Fengran's black eyes.

Jian Qian and Hong Xiu, who were standing beside the stone table, looked at each other tacitly and stepped back silently.

In the colorful street lights.

While biting the dumpling, A Bao watched Xuanyuan Fengran finish his porridge.

When the sea breeze blows, the plump lanterns decorated with shells jingle lively.

And A Bao pestered Xuanyuan Fengran to buy a sugar painting, three strings of candied haws, two bags of sunflower seed cakes, and a whole roast goose with crispy skin and tender meat, which he skewered with bamboo sticks.

Po ate while walking around.

Passing by the braised food stall, Abao wanted to buy some braised chicken feet.

Xuanyuan Fengran finally couldn't stand it anymore, forced a smile, and said kindly: "Xuanyuan Abao, do you still remember what the word 'indigestion' looks like?"

A Bao felt guilty: "I know."

Xuanyuan Fengran: "So?"

Po: "Just one string?"

Xuanyuan Fengran smiled: "It's too noisy around here, I can't hear clearly."

Po said arrogantly: "I'll buy it myself!"

After she finished speaking, A Bao suddenly realized that she had forgotten something very important.

The princess who went out forgot to bring money was standing in front of the stall owner of the stewed food. The two looked at each other in confusion and the atmosphere was awkward.

A Bao touched his nose awkwardly and secretly pulled the corner of his uncle's robe.

Xuanyuan Fengran sighed helplessly, and indulged his little girl again.

"One."

"Hehe! The Emperor's uncle is the best!" A Bao said softly and coquettishly.

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Fengran was amused and pinched her face helplessly.
