After rebirth, I became a national teacher

Naturally, the aftermath of Tan Song's death did not spread to the capital so quickly.

Now the whole capital city is still immersed in the rich festive atmosphere of the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival.

Starting from the tenth day of the first lunar month, the capital's bustling commercial district has been decorated with lights and colorful lanterns in preparation for the upcoming Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival.

The excitement of watching lanterns among the people begins on the 13th and will last until the evening of the 15th.

"Mom, I've never seen the Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival before! How about we go to see the lantern festival on the 14th?"

After dinner on the twelfth day, Rong Niang suggested this.

Chen Qingzhu looked at Rong Niang's expectant face and did not refuse.

"Okay. But why not go on the 15th?"

Generally speaking, the fifteenth night is the busiest time with the most people.

Rong Niang smiled slyly:

"Because I want to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival at home with my mother and enjoy the moon!"

After saying that, he secretly glanced at Chen Qingzhu.

After all, she had to take up two nights of her mother's time, so she felt a little guilty.

But she really hasn't spent time with her mother for a long time, so she really hopes that her mother can spend time with her during this Mid-Autumn Festival when the family is reunited.

Chen Qingzhu saw her little movements that she thought were hidden, and sighed softly in her heart.

She really hadn't spent enough time with Rong Niang for a long time.

Perhaps, she usually finds fun on her own just to disturb her less.

This child has always been a little too sensible.

"Okay, then we'll go enjoy the lanterns on the 14th, and enjoy the moon at home on the 15th."

When Rong Niang heard this, a bright smile immediately appeared on her face.

So, on the night of the fourteenth, Chen Qingzhu left the others behind and took Rong Niang alone to the most famous Mingyue Tower in the capital.

Ming Yue Lou is located in the center of the most prosperous commercial district. Not only can you enjoy a panoramic view of the surrounding lantern festival scenery, but its dishes and dim sum are also excellent.

In addition, Mingyue Tower covers a large area, has gardens inside, and also has a small lantern festival, which is well worth a visit.

According to what Chen Qingzhu knew in his previous life, this place was of extremely high quality and the minimum cost was fifty taels, so he would not have trouble finding a seat just because of the approaching festival.

The reason is simple. The largest customer group of Mingyue Tower is the dignitaries in the capital.

On the Mid-Autumn Festival, a banquet is usually held in the palace.

If the rich and powerful want to hold a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, they usually choose between the 12th and 14th.

As a result, on the fourteenth night, the number of dignitaries who can come to Mingyue Tower will be much less.

However, this time Chen Qingzhu miscalculated.

When the lights came on and she and Rong Niang arrived at the entrance of Mingyue Tower, they were stopped by the waiter who was standing at the door to greet guests.

"Madam, Mingyue Tower is reserved today. If you want to enter, please show us your invitation."

Chen Qingzhu was a little surprised.

How could a restaurant of Mingyue Tower's size, whose owner is one of the most powerful people in Beijing, be booked out on the 14th night, a day when it can make a lot of money?

This is not just a matter of money. The person who can book the entire place must be of extraordinary status.

"Who booked the place?"

The receptionist proudly said:

"It's the Imperial Concubine's elder sister, Lady Jingnan! It is said that she is tired of holding banquets in the palace, so she specially booked our Mingyue Tower to entertain the female guests for this year's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet!"

Obviously, the waiter felt very honored to be booked by the aunt of the future prince.

From this, we can see how powerful the Jingnan Marquis' Mansion is in the capital today.

"Mother, let's go."

Rong Niang pulled Chen Qingzhu's sleeve and urged in a low voice.

A while ago, the Imperial Concubine sent people to Cihang Temple to demand someone. Now that they appeared so openly outside the territory of the Jingnan Marquis' Mansion, she always felt a little guilty.

Even though I know that my mother is very powerful now.

But she was the Imperial Noble Consort, representing the supreme imperial power, and they were not in the Southern Capital now, but in the capital where they had no power base.
