Chapter 126 Autumn Moon-Viewing
It was finally Yui is favorite seasons Mid-Autumn Festival.
They were blessed with fair weather this year. It was dusk, so there was still ti before the rising of the full moon. Several lanterns lit the square in front of the dining hall.
The court ladies happily chatted while sitting around the tables that had been set up in that place.
Yui i was also there, sitting alone, and a feast distinctive of the Mid-Autumn Festival was spread on the table before her.
There were several types of mooncakes ones filled with the chestnuts that she harvested during the several tis that she volunteered to gather them, ones that were made based on the squash buns that she had seen at the food stall the other day, ones with sweet potato filling inside, and there were also several different mooncakes that i Na made with the help of Yui i.
These mooncakes were the size of a small palm unlike those giant ones that they made in the countryside. They were very convenient to eat.
There was also roasted duck aside from the mooncakes.
Mmm, all of them look so yummy!
Yui i was filled with bliss at the pleasant view.
How elegant was it to be able to enjoy such good autumnal food while admiring the moon?
This was the first ti Yui i experienced such a splendid autumn feast in this life. i Na made all of these, so Yui i couldnt help but see her as a fairy from the moon.
i Na laughed when she saw her eyes glittering as she stared at the table.
Hey, Ah i, dont just stare at it and start eating.
Okay~ thanks for the food, lets dig in!
i Na urged on Yui i, so she imdiately stretched her hand towards the table.
She started with the mooncakes that she also helped make.
The taste of the red bean taste wrapped in the smooth, fragrant skin was llow, with the bits of chestnut giving it a great contrast. The sweetness was also on point.
Yup, chestnut mooncakes are really delish
Yui i broke into a wide grin.
I didnt crush the chestnuts too much, so its a bit grainy. Tastes good, right?
i Na also nodded while eating the chestnut mooncakes.
These gourd moon cakes are also delicious, you know? Gourd fruit can be quite sweet after steaming, huh. Ive only ever eaten the seeds, so its the first ti I learned about this.
i Na recomnded the squash mooncakes that she tried making for the first ti.
The filling was made from squash as it is, so it brought a nostalgic feeling to Yui i.
Its i Na were talking about here, so she was probably thinking about whipping up more recipes for squash.
i Na, I hope youll discover squash pudding so day!
Yui is mouth was filled with sweetness due to eating only mooncakes, so she also took so of the duck from ti to ti.
Youre doing great, huh.
Libin appeared, and he placed his bundle on the table.
Oh, Lord Libin, happy Mid-Autumn Festival to you!
Yui i extended her seasons greetings first.
I pray that you enjoy the blessings brought about by the full moon.
Libin returned the greeting, but it was too stylish.
Libin, isnt the Crown Princes Palace also celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival?
Li Bin raised a brow at Yui is question.
Thats over a long stretch of ti, and I cant stick around there all the ti.
I see.
Ohh, true, the big wigs are night owls, after all.
Unlike the court ladies who had to sleep early in the evening, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet over there probably hadnt even started there.
Yui i was musing over it, when Libin offered the bundle that he brought.
Heres a present for you. Were talking about you, so I thought that the more mooncakes you have, the better it is for you.
Surprisingly, Libin also brought so mooncakes for her. As expected of Libin, he really knew Yui i too well.
She opened the package right away.
It contained a stylish box, and even the mooncakes inside were elegant.
This is probably from His Highness the Crown Prince.
Libin could also obtain sothing like this on his own, but it was more probable that it was from him.
Nevertheless, being surrounded by mooncakes was truly such a blissful sight.
Yui i stuffed her cheeks with the mooncakes, while i Na recomnded the mooncakes on the table to Libin.
Libin, these are new products. Ah i wanted to eat mooncakes made from gourd fruit, so I made it based on that.
Oh, thats sothing new, indeed.
Libin took one of the squash mooncakes and bit it.
Mm, its slightly sweet.
Right? So theres a lot more to gourd.
Libin and i Na nodded to each other. It seed like squashs popularity would increase steadily from now on.
And so, this place turned into a mooncake party.
Is it alright if I join you this Autumn Moon Viewing?
Yui i turned around when she heard a mans voice. Yang carried a bundle, accompanied by Eunuch Du.
T/N: Fake eunuchs want to join in on the fun! XD
