A dreamless night.
When Song Tingwan woke up, Hongdou was already waiting in the house.
"Miss, you're awake." Hongdou walked closer. "Do you want to wash up now?"
Song Tingwan sat up and rubbed his temples. "What time is it now?"
Hongdou: "It's past the hour of Si."
It's ten o'clock?
After staying here for two months, Song Tingwan has become very accustomed to the timekeeping method here.
I didn't expect that she slept for so long...
It’s all Pei Ji’s fault. Why did he add any wine to the dishes?
She got drunk while eating a dish!
I don’t even know what kind of wine is in it!
So intense!
Song Tingwan got out of bed and said, "Let's wash up now. I'm a little hungry."
Hongdou chuckled, "Okay."
"The kitchen is already preparing it, Miss will be able to eat it soon."
"By the way, Miss, the palace sent an invitation earlier, inviting you to attend the Third Princess' coming-of-age ceremony."
Song Tingwan was not surprised. "When?"
Hongdou: "Noon."
!!!
Song Tingwan's almond-shaped eyes slightly opened, "Only one hour left!"
"I slept too soundly... Quick, ask Zhuque to go find Prince Pei and tell him that the coming-of-age ceremony will be at noon. Meet at the palace gate and don't be late."
There was a smile in Hongdou's eyes. She felt that the anxious look of the goddess at this moment was very vivid. "Don't worry, Miss. Prince Pei has arrived early and is waiting for you in the lobby now."
Song Tingwan felt relieved, "That's good."
Pei Ji is really impatient.
Song Tingwan dressed quickly, without putting on any makeup, and simply tied her hair into a bun. She put on a goose yellow dress and a cloak of the same color, ready to enter the palace.
"By the way, Hongdou, don't forget to bring the gift I prepared for the third princess."
Hongdou was very reliable, "Don't worry Miss, I won't forget."
Song Tingwan nodded and walked straight out the door to the lobby.
After waiting for so long, I don’t know if Pei Ji is anxious or not.
It wasn’t far from Huixiang Garden, and Song Tingwan arrived there in no time.
In the lobby, Pei Ji was still dressed in red, sitting quietly with a casual attitude.
Pei Ji noticed her and stood up to greet her, "Goddess, are you ready?"
Song Tingwan smiled and said, "We can set off now."
"I wonder what gift Prince Pei prepared for Miaoyi?"
Pei Ji's face suddenly became hot again, and he hid the gift box in his hand behind his back.
"That's not something the goddess cares about."
Song Tingwan raised an eyebrow and nodded nonchalantly, "Okay, let's go."
Suzaku was guarding outside the lobby.
As soon as Song Tingwan left the house, he asked him, "Where is your master?"
Suzaku: "No news yet."
Song Tingwan: “…”
Okay.
I guess he won't be able to make it to his sister's coming-of-age ceremony today.
The whole capital is bustling today.
It is said that Chunfeng Tower is free today, and each household can spend one or two taels of gold.
You can order anything, and eat for free within one or two gold coins!
Moreover, Miss Dieyi only performs a few times a month, and each performance lasts only one hour, but today's performance has been extended to a full three hours!
No matter which point, it has never appeared since the existence of Chunfeng Tower.
What a grand occasion!
The only two conditions were that there should be no waste, and that everyone who entered the venue should say a birthday blessing for the third princess.
Although there is a rule not to waste food, the dishes at Chunfenglou are not cheap!
The most expensive dishes at Chunfenglou are the homemade dishes, which cost two taels of gold each.
Common people like them would never have the chance to eat it on a daily basis. Only aristocrats and businessmen could afford it.
But today!
Two people can enjoy a famous dish whose name they don’t even know!
The line outside Chunfeng Tower stretched so far that there was no end in sight.
There are people of all ages in the team, all of them are smiling and very excited.
Song Tingwan lifted the curtain of the carriage window a little, and the scene in front of her surprised her a little.
"Suzaku, what's going on outside?"
Zhuque rode his horse and shouted, "I heard from passersby that Chunfenglou is offering free meals today. Everyone can enjoy fine wine and delicious dishes worth one or two ounces of gold for free!"
Song Tingwan:!!!
One ounce of gold!
Can everyone eat something worth one or two taels of gold for free?
Song Tingwan was shocked.
One tael of gold was considered very expensive in that era, and could provide food for an ordinary family for several months!
Pei Ji closed for one day, but there is such a big event?
It seems that he is really very different from the rumors outside.
Would a big bad guy treat everyone in the city to free food and drinks at the most expensive restaurant in the capital?
"Goddess." Suzaku slowed down the carriage, leaned back and whispered, "Something seems amiss."
It was a bit noisy outside, and Song Tingwan barely heard what he said. "What's wrong?"
Zhuque continued to speak in a forceful voice, "Goddess, we have arrived at the entrance of Chunfeng Tower. There are people at the door controlling the number of people entering, and everyone who enters will say something."
Song Tingwan was sitting in the car and couldn't hear it clearly.
Suzaku's words made her even more curious, "What did you say?"
"Goddess, why do they all say a blessing to the Third Princess as soon as they enter?" Suzaku was a little confused. "Could it be that the Emperor really dotes on the Third Princess so much that he'd book out Chunfeng Tower and host a banquet for the entire city?"
"My master is away, and I can't imagine who else could be so wealthy and powerful except the emperor."
"One ounce of gold per person!"
"If Qinglong is here, he will definitely go!"
Song Tingwan: “…”
