Gu Beiyi always wanted to be with Rong Sheng. In his previous life, although he was with Rong Sheng, they were not officially husband and wife. Later, Rong Sheng died tragically, and even if he was given a formal title, it was too late.
Entering the capital requires a travel permit, so Gu Beiyi deliberately arranged for Rong Sheng to enter the city with him as husband and wife, even if it was only for a short time. This made him happy and lessened his regret.
Rong Sheng smiled as he saw the majestic city gate of the capital. His dark eyes gleamed with a dazzling light. The capital was indeed different. Even the city gate was different. It was full of kingly dominance and arrogance!
"Sheng Sheng, we've arrived in the capital!" Gu Beiyi held Rong Sheng's hand affectionately. "Since we're just ordinary people now, without Prince Yi's status and position, we have to queue up and enter the city one by one if we want to!"
"It's a great experience!" Rong Sheng wasn't unhappy. She knew Gu Beiyi's little thoughts, but she just didn't expose them. So Rong Sheng let Gu Beiyi pull her hand and head towards the queue for the capital city, and then they lined up one after the other.
"Husband, where are we going after we enter the city?" Rong Sheng turned her head sweetly, looking at Gu Beiyi with admiration.
Seeing this, Gu Beiyi's lust was aroused. He really wanted to take Rong Sheng right there and then. Didn't this girl know that she was incredibly charming, especially to him? Whenever he saw Rong Sheng acting cute and releasing her charm, he couldn't help but think about things that he couldn't do for the time being.
"Husband? Why aren't you saying anything?"
Husband? The way Rong Sheng called him that sounded especially sweet, stirring ripples in Gu Beiyi's heart.
They seemed like an ordinary young couple, without any sense of incongruity.
Gu Beiyi said indulgently, "After entering the city, I will naturally take you to see all the splendor of the capital! Together with me, we will take down our enemies from our past lives one by one and live happily ever after."
Rong Sheng gave Gu Beiyi a playful glare, but she was also full of anticipation for the future, hoping that the people in the capital wouldn't disappoint her.
Soon, it was Rong Sheng and Gu Beiyi's turn to enter the city. They showed their travel permits to the city guards for registration and then entered the city.
The siblings in Beijing had a well-organized, solemn, and serious demeanor.
A gentle breeze blew, causing the banners at the tavern's entrance to flutter rhythmically, like a lively young girl dancing gracefully. The dazzling golden sunlight bathed the street, instantly enveloping it in a radiant glow.
People came and went on the street, laughing and making noise, as if they had no worries or sorrows at all. The cold winter air could not stop their warm mood.
Just then, Rong Sheng heard Yue'er's clear voice calling out her wares. The stalls along the street were surrounded by people carefully selecting their favorite items, and occasionally, one could see people haggling with the vendors.
Gu Beiyi looked at Rong Sheng's delicate face, which was full of smiles, and his dark eyes deepened. He wished he could keep this beautiful and lovely Sheng Sheng forever and never let anyone see her.
"Ancient capital cities are indeed quite different from modern metropolises. Everything in the streets and alleys is full of antique charm, giving people a refreshing feeling! Unlike modern times, where all kinds of cars are speeding back and forth on the streets, people are becoming lazier and staying at home, afraid to go out. They eat and buy groceries through food delivery apps, and have them delivered to their door! They've lost their basic communication skills! And everyone is busy online! But people in ancient times were so simple and honest!"
At least in Rong Sheng's view now, while there were some wicked and ill-hearted people in ancient times, the vast majority were simple and honest, giving people a sense of tranquility and beauty.
System: "Master, both ancient and modern times have their own merits and are incomparable! It's just a matter of which one you prefer!"
Rong Sheng raised her eyebrows. Indeed, she preferred ancient times to ancient times, as if her roots lay there.
Gu Beiyi took Rong Sheng around the capital several times to familiarize her with the city. Then, seeing that it was almost time, he took Rong Sheng out for a meal.
However, as soon as Gu Beiyi had this idea, his path was blocked.
The man respectfully clenched his fist and said, "Young master, young lady, our master invites you!"
Rong Sheng frowned in confusion and turned to look at Gu Beiyi: "Our whereabouts have been leaked? Who is his master?"
Gu Beiyi calmly said, "Lead the way!" Then his dark eyes fell on Rong Sheng's face with an unfathomable look, "You'll find out when we get there!"
Rong Sheng pursed her lips and quietly followed Gu Beiyi to a very bustling restaurant.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, Gu Beiyi said to Rong Sheng, "This is the Feng family's restaurant!"
The Feng family? Rong Sheng knew that there were three great families in Qingluan Kingdom, and the Feng family was the head of them. The other two families were no match for the Feng family. Even if the two families joined forces and used all their power, they would still be no match for the Feng family. Moreover, the Feng family was an ancient family that had witnessed many dynastic changes. However, the Feng family was pragmatic and had exceptionally sharp eyes. They always chose a wise ruler in advance, which is why the Feng family became more and more powerful. In addition, the Feng family knew when to advance and when to retreat and did not provoke the imperial power. Therefore, the royal families of all dynasties liked the Feng family for their pragmatism!
The Feng family? I heard Shu Qingyan mention before that he had once treated the old patriarch of the Feng family, but he and his father could never figure out what illness the old patriarch had!
The fact that they've come to the Feng family's restaurant means the Feng family needs something from them!
Otherwise, their plans to tour the capital city wouldn't have been disrupted prematurely.
Upon entering the restaurant, we went directly to a private room on the third floor.
Rong Sheng obediently followed Gu Beiyi, as if they had nothing to do with each other.
However, the moment Rong Sheng stepped into the private room, she suddenly raised her head because she felt a burning gaze fall on her. That gaze was like seeing a piece of delicious fat meat, but without any threat or sense of danger.
Sitting in the private room was an older man, about ten years older than Rong Dong'an, probably in his fifties. He was very handsome, with a striking and elegant appearance. Although his face was wrinkled, it unexpectedly exuded the charm of a mature man.
For some reason, when Rong Sheng saw him, a sense of familiarity welled up in her heart, as if they should have known each other, and even felt very close, as if they shared a blood relationship.
"System, who is this person? Why do I feel a sense of familiarity when I see her?" Rong Sheng asked.
"Host, there's no need to worry. This person is neither your enemy nor Gu Beiyi's enemy, but you'll soon find out what your relationship is!" The system didn't directly answer Rong Sheng's question because it knew that Rong Sheng would find out soon enough.
"Prince Yi!" The man stood up and respectfully bowed to Gu Beiyi, but it was only a slight bow, which still represented his stance.
Gu Beiyi hummed in agreement, his handsome face expressionless, giving off an aloof and unapproachable air.
But his large hand held Rong Sheng's small hand tightly, leading her to sit down opposite the man.
