"A little bit," he said. Su Qingmeng took out some food from the warehouse, and the two of them ate a simple meal before going to bed. Lin Xiuyao had been on guard the previous night, so he had only slept for a while this morning and was quite tired. They fell asleep quickly.

They slept until the next morning and were very hungry when they woke up, so they went to try Beijing breakfast.

The two chose a restaurant with many people. Su Qingmeng ordered the famous soy milk for Lin Xiuyao. After the breakfast was served, she watched Lin Xiuyao drink it silently.

Lin Xiuyao frowned and said, "It tastes a bit strange. Could it be bad?" Su Qingmeng smiled secretly.

An old man next to me said, "Young man, this is what douzhi tastes like. You're from another place, right? It's normal that you're not used to it."

Lin Xiuyao realized that he was being teased. He looked at Su Qingmeng helplessly, but still insisted on finishing the drink.

After breakfast, they didn't rush to look at houses. Instead, they returned to the guesthouse to change into nice clothes. Su Qingmeng carried her shoulder bag, along with her camera and water bottle, and the two of them went to explore the capital. They left their luggage at the guesthouse, and since their valuables were in the space, they didn't have to worry about losing them.

They first went to the Forbidden City, taking an hour-long bus ride. They got off at the Meridian Gate and bought tickets to enter. It wasn't crowded. They walked along the central axis of the Forbidden City, along the Golden Water Bridge, to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, where the emperor held court.

Su Qingmeng wore the red coat she wore at her wedding, complete with a white scarf. Lin Xiuyao wore a black cotton-padded jacket and the same scarf. They took photos standing in front of the snow-covered palace.

After touring the six palaces in the east and west, they came to the bare imperial garden, admired the rockery garden, and left through the Shenwu Gate.

Lin Xiuyao: "This is the ancient imperial palace, it's so huge. The emperor must have lived a good life!" Fortunately, it is New China now, and he can come here to visit.

At noon, they had Peking duck, eight yuan a head. They ordered a whole duck, lotus leaf pancakes, sauce, and duck bone soup. The chef sliced ​​the duck and served it. Su Qingmeng rolled up a portion and handed it to Lin Xiuyao, "Try it."

Lin Xiuyao chewed slowly. The crispy duck skin paired with the tender duck meat, the sweet noodle sauce and chopped green onions blended the flavors perfectly. "Delicious!"

Su Qingmeng also had a portion, which was much better than what they'd eat in the future. The two of them finished a whole duck and left the restaurant feeling quite satisfied. After lunch, they went to see the Temple of Heaven, and only returned to the guesthouse when it got dark.

Lin Xiuyao lay on the bed and sighed, "It's worthy of being the capital!"

Su Qingmeng had traveled to Beijing in the modern era, but it wasn't as novel as Lin Xiuyao's. The attractions in the later eras were more well-equipped than they are now, and many places are a bit old now. "Let's get up early tomorrow to watch the flag-raising ceremony!"

Lin Xiuyao: "Okay, let's go to bed early today." They turned off the lights and went to sleep.
