Lu Ziqian didn't know what he would look like in this outfit, but he felt that it would definitely be suitable for fighting, as it would be clean, neat, and easy to move in.
The man walked to the wardrobe, opened the door, and saw a full-length mirror hanging inside.
The reflection in the mirror showed a black helmet, revealing only a pair of deep-set eyes.
Through the windshield, it gleamed with a resolute and sharp light.
He was wearing a black camouflage windbreaker, with his trousers tucked tightly into his Martin boots, which made him look even more upright and exuded an undeniable aura of dominance.
Lu Ziqian was very satisfied with this outfit; it looked even better than he had imagined.
When he appeared before everyone in this outfit, he saw the amazement in their eyes.
The man strutted up on the heavy motorcycle, his tall figure seemingly blending into the steel behemoth beneath him, looking cool and dazzling.
The man gently twisted the throttle, and the motorcycle engine emitted a deep, powerful roar, like a beast growling, which startled those around him and made them instinctively back away.
Immediately afterwards, the motorcycle accelerated suddenly, its tires rubbing against the ground and creating a series of sparks, like lightning slicing through the night sky.
He leaned slightly forward, as if racing against the wind. Every turn, every breath, made people hold their breath and stare in awe.
Crown Prince Mo Shu and all the men in the room stared in shock at Lu Ziqian's lightning-fast movements, speechless with excitement.
I want it! I want it! I want it!
This was the only sentiment expressed by all the men present!
Lu Ziqian suddenly stopped gracefully and coolly in front of Su Yujiao, inviting her to sit down and preparing to take her for a drive around the streets, as the small training room was simply not enough.
Su Yujiao shook her head in refusal, and the gold and silver hairpins on her head made a tinkling sound.
Lu Ziqian also noticed that her outfit was not suitable for riding a motorcycle, so he invited the Crown Prince to get on the motorcycle.
"May I have it too?"
"You can sit, not ride!"
"Oh, oh, oh."
"Daddy, baby wants to ride in the car too."
Lu Ziqian glared at the little guy: "What are you doing sitting down? You dare to laugh at me for not getting a gift."
"But my gift was the best of all!"
Su Yujiao couldn't bear to look; someone was so smug, their tail practically wagging in the air.
An'an burst into tears: "Mommy, I want this car too!"
The little dumpling suddenly felt that the carriage in her hands was no longer appealing.
Lu Ziqian ignored the crying little guy and rode away like lightning.
Because of the high speed, the prince lost his grip and almost fell off the carriage, so he was so scared that he obediently clung to Lu Ziqian's waist.
Wow, that's so fast!
"This is much faster than a horse-drawn carriage."
"No, this is faster than my fastest Akhal-Teke horse."
The prince was so excited that he didn't care about the cold wind whistling in his ears and blowing into his collar.
On New Year's Eve, it was snowing again. Everyone was at home chatting, and there wasn't a single person on the street.
The two didn't dare to be too reckless, so they chose a street they had just patrolled, took a couple of laps, and then went back.
When the patrolling guards heard the noise and rushed over, there wasn't a soul in sight.
"Cousin, could you ask your wife to get me one too?"
"Dream on, that's something only I can have."
"..."
"How about I trade you my pocket watch?"
"No, I won't trade it. Who wants your broken watch?"
“I have it in my car,” the man said, pointing to the motorcycle’s dashboard.
The prince craned his neck to look, wondering why it was different from his own.
His pocket watch had 1234... written on it, but his watch face had 0, 20, 40, 60, 80... written on it.
He strongly suspected that his cousin was lying to him!
After they returned home, the two played mahjong and cards, and watched the children perform crosstalk, skits, songs, and dances...
They played around and had fun until late into the night before finally going to sleep.
After the Lunar New Year, in early spring, all things revive and are full of vitality.
Along the stream, the ice and snow melt, and the water flows gently.
In the fields, the green leaves of wheat seedlings quietly peek out, swaying gently in the soft spring breeze.
Su Yujiao and the Crown Prince started planting potatoes, and Jin Mudan followed suit.
The Empress was busy preparing for her two daughters' coming-of-age banquets.
In another month, her two daughters will be adults.
She was both relieved and worried.
The thief Su Yujiao mentioned has not yet appeared, and the disaster for her two daughters has not yet occurred.
She was constantly on edge, never having a day of peace.
Although she had already woken up, the Buddhist prayer beads worn around the necks of the palace servants had not yet been removed.
She believed that these prayer beads would help her find out who the thief was.
And so, the Empress spent another month in trepidation, until the day of her two daughters' coming-of-age ceremony arrived.
Nothing dangerous happened during this time, and she repeatedly told her two daughters to carry self-defense weapons with them every day.
"You must stay with the princess at all times and ensure their safety."
"No matter where the princess goes, you must not leave her side even for a moment."
"yes."
"If all else fails, the two princesses are not allowed to leave the room before tonight's banquet."
Seeing that the Empress was being overly cautious, Granny Yu advised her, "Your Majesty need not be so nervous."
"With so many guards protecting them, the two princesses will be fine."
"The princesses are all grown up now, and they're at the age where they're playful and active."
“If you don’t allow the two princesses to leave the room, they will try to sneak out. Then, without anyone to protect them, they will be in even greater danger.”
"Besides, hiding isn't a solution either. With the princess in the open and the enemy in the shadows, it's impossible to defend against them."
"If we escape today, what about tomorrow?"
"It's not like the calamity will disappear just because you escaped it today."
"We can only be completely at ease once the thief is caught."
The Empress still looked anxious: "I understand everything you're saying, but I'm still worried."
Unable to persuade her otherwise, Granny Yu had no choice but to allow the Empress to confine the two little princesses to their quarters.
She didn't want to offer too much advice, because she couldn't bear the responsibility if something really happened.
The two little princesses were happily getting ready when they received an imperial edict from the Empress forbidding them from leaving the house before evening.
Why is Mother confining us to our quarters?
"This servant does not know."
Qingyin looked unhappy. Coming-of-age banquet is the most important day for every girl, but they were confined to their homes.
"The Empress Dowager is afraid that we are in danger."
"I heard that the serial killer hasn't been caught yet."
"Just listen to Mother's arrangements. When all the officials arrive in the evening, Mother will definitely let us go out to attend the banquet. After all, we are the main characters tonight."
"They won't keep us locked up forever."
After finishing their lunch, the two princesses idly read books in their bedchamber to pass the time.
I fell asleep while watching it.
"Sister, wake up, did you hear that sound?"
Chu Qingwan groggily opened her eyes, yawning as she asked, "What was that sound?"
Shh, listen.
"It sounds like it's coming from below. Listen carefully."
The two held their breath, and faint sounds of a woman crying could be heard coming from under the bed.
