Chapter 170 Night Scene of the Great Chu Kingdom

Lu Xingwan even started to flutter her hands.

"Look at our little princess, she's so happy!" Qiong Hua sat beside Song Qingyan and looked after Lu Xingwan for her.

She actually didn't like children very much, as she thought they were a bit noisy and troublesome, but she had an inexplicable feeling towards Princess Yong'an.

Jinyu originally wanted to say no. After all, the previous assassinations were still fresh in her mind, and it would not be safe for the queen outside the palace.

But looking at the joyous princess, Jinyu suppressed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. After all, Zhuying and Juying were with her, so everything should be fine.

At Song Qingyan's order, the carriage headed towards the largest restaurant in the city, Wangyue Tower.

The carriage drove through the alley and turned a corner. Song Qingyan opened the curtain and took Lu Xingwan to look outside.

[Wow, it turns out that the night view of the Great Chu Kingdom is so beautiful. ]

The curfew in the Chu State was probably at the beginning of the night, when the lights were lit and the city was bustling.

Wangyue Tower is indeed worthy of being the number one restaurant in Beijing. The three-story building rising from the ground is lit up, and it seems to be glowing, giving it a sense of magnificence and splendor.

The streets were also decorated with lights and colors, and the small stalls on the street were filled with all kinds of goods. The stall owners were smiling and welcoming customers, looking very enthusiastic.

People are moving around, and the scene is prosperous.

It was also the first time for Qiong Hua to see the night market in the Great Chu State. He also poked his head out from behind Song Qingyan to look out.

Song Qingyan could see what they were thinking. She chuckled, "It's not convenient today. Let's go out in casual clothes and have a good look some other day. Today, let's go to the Moon Viewing Tower first."

When the carriage stopped, Song Qingyan looked at Jinyu who had been feeling uneasy. Suddenly she remembered Jinxin who was still guarding the door at home. She smiled and said, "Jinyu is thinking about Jinxin?"

Jinyu felt a little embarrassed when the queen said what she was thinking.

Song Qingyan then told the driver outside: "Old Li, we'll go up first, you go back to the mansion and pick up Jinxin."

"I'll go right away." The coachman named Lao Li was serving on the side. He waited for everyone to get off the carriage, then turned the carriage around with a smile and went to the Dingguo Marquis Mansion.

"Your Majesty," Jinyu looked at Song Qingyan in surprise, "Jinxin must be so happy."

[Sister Jinxin will cry and thank her mother in gratitude later.]

Qiong Hua, who was standing by, was also very excited. He suppressed his joy and said softly, "Thank you, Madam, for bringing me here."

Song Qingyan was very happy when she saw how happy they all were. She hadn't been to the Moon-Watching Tower for five or six years.

Because they had the badge of Marquis Dingguo's Mansion, they were quickly led by the shopkeeper himself to the private room on the third floor.

“Wow, it’s beautiful!”

【Wow, so beautiful! 】

This time, Qiong Hua and Lu Xingwan spoke at the same time.

Upon hearing this, Song Qingyan couldn't help but look at Qiong Hua, only to see that Qiong Hua had already been lying in front of the window looking out.

From the third floor of Moon Watching Tower, you can see the entire moat. At this time, the moat is full of flowing water, and there are also several pleasure boats coming and going on the river. The lights on the pleasure boats are reflected on the water, making the sparkling water surface turn into a golden glitter.

From time to time, there was the sound of piano and dance coming from the pleasure boat, which was very beautiful and attracted many people to stop by the river to watch.

It's really lively.

Song Qingyan looked at Qiong Hua's back as she lay by the window, and seemed to have confirmed that she was the "Sister Qiong Hua" that Wanwan had mentioned.

Her medical skills are so amazing, and her personality is so lively. I'm afraid only the fairyland can cultivate such a woman.

One can probably imagine the scene in which she and Wanwan used to be together, causing trouble and making a fuss everywhere.

I couldn't help but laugh.

Qiong Hua heard Song Qingyan's laughter and turned around: "What are you laughing at, Madam?"

Song Qingyan just shook her head: "Seeing you guys happy, I am happy too."

This is true.

At this moment, Song Qingyan felt more relaxed than ever before, and put all the mess in the palace behind her, as if tonight, she was just the carefree second lady in the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion.

Since Chef Yu in the palace was a good cook, the few of them did not pay too much attention to the food and only ordered some of Wangyuelou's signature dishes to try.

However, there was one dish, chopped pepper fish head, that won Song Qingyan's heart.

I have drunk fish soup and eaten fish meat in the past, but this is the first time I have seen a fish head being taken out and made into a dish alone.

The shopkeeper was introducing it to a few people behind a screen.

Because of Song Qingyan's special status, she wore a veil and went upstairs, and placed a screen in front of her to block the inquiring eyes from outside.

The shopkeeper only knew that she was a noble lady from the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion, but he thought she was some lady and did not think of her at all as the Imperial Concubine in the palace.

"This chopped pepper fish head is a Southern style dish that uses fiery red peppers to cover the tender fish head meat. The fish meat is soft and glutinous, salty and slightly spicy. It is very appetizing. You will know once you try it."

As if he was worried, the shopkeeper reminded him again: "If you don't eat spicy food on weekdays, you have to be careful."

"Thank you, shopkeeper." Song Qingyan nodded.

The shopkeeper noticed what was going on inside and prepared to leave.

At this time, Jinxin was happily running into the private room and pushed the door open: "Mom..."

Before she could utter another word, she saw the shopkeeper present and quickly stopped talking: "Madam, I am here."

What Song Qingyan didn't expect was that Pei Chuyan was also following Jin Xin.

"As Your Majesty will be back late, it would be better for me to provide close protection for her." Pei Chuyan saw the Royal Concubine looking at him with confusion and hurriedly explained.

"You are thoughtful, please sit down quickly."

Pei Chuyan stood there in a daze, not knowing where to sit.

"Prince Pei, please sit down." Jin Xin hurriedly pushed Pei Chuyan down, "Our queen said before that when it is time to follow the rules, you must follow the rules and not make any mistakes. When it is not time to follow the rules, you should just relax and not feel any burden."

Pei Chuyan smiled when he heard this. It was indeed the style of an imperial concubine.

He stopped being shy and sat down.

"Prince Pei, it has been a long time since you last saw the night view of the capital." Song Qingyan couldn't help but sigh.

"I haven't seen it since I entered the palace." Pei Chuyan looked at the bustling moat outside, as if he was thinking about something.

Pei Chuyan was lost in thought. He didn't know what he should be thinking in this situation.

If I say that I miss the days when my mother took me out to play, it seems that I don’t miss them that much; if I say that I miss the days in the Duke of Anguo’s Mansion, it seems that I am also comfortable in the palace now.

But what is the difference?

Song Qingyan looked at him but said nothing more. Ever since Pei Chuyan entered the palace, he looked like he had no desires or requests, which made people feel even more distressed.
