Chapter 148 Daming Lake



Let me take you out for a stroll tomorrow!

Yunrong naturally wouldn't refuse. Along the way, she really didn't stop to take a good look. She only knew about Jiangnan in ancient times from poems.

"Okay, but where to go?"

Yunrong was not familiar with Jinan and did not know which places in Jinan were worth visiting.

Yinzhen didn't have a specific place he wanted to go. After ascending the throne in his previous life, Yinzhen had never been to Jiangnan. He had only come to Jinan once with his father, Huang Ama. In addition, in his previous life, the emperor had asked him to come here to check the accounts.

He came with his father, the Emperor, and he wasn't the only prince. Plus, there were various interests involved, and they didn't get along well. So, he had no mood for sightseeing and spent all his time thinking about what his father was thinking.

No matter how beautiful the scenery is, nothing can compare to the importance of the emperor's favor.

As for having been here during an audit, needless to say, he was already lucky enough not to be hunted down, so he had no interest in sightseeing and was not very familiar with Jinan.

Yinzhen ordered someone to investigate, and finally decided on two locations: Daming Lake and Thousand Buddha Mountain.

In the end, Yunrong decided to go to Daming Lake first. Yinzhen didn't know the story behind it, but Yunrong was particularly interested. No matter how much she devoted herself to studying the classics, she was still poisoned by the TV series "Princess Pearl" that was replayed every summer in modern times.

The line, "Your Majesty, do you still remember Xia Yuhe by Daming Lake?" is known to everyone, and she does have some interest in Daming Lake.

Although she had come to the Qing Dynasty, she already knew that even if the emperor had a casual affair with a woman, she could not keep her in the common people. Any woman touched by the emperor would be sent to a temporary palace if she could not be brought back to the palace.

Once an emperor has been with a woman, he naturally has no other choice.

As for the claim that Xia Yuhe was touched by the emperor and then raised by her parents, that's simply impossible. Furthermore, the Qing Dynasty was extremely harsh on women. If Xia Yuhe had given birth to a child without proper consent, she would have been condemned to death if it were known.

Therefore, a woman like "Xia Yuhe" could never exist.

Yunrong went there simply because she thought it would be interesting. Besides, since Daming Lake is so famous, the scenery must be quite nice.

Yinzhen was a loving emperor who doted on his wife, so he decided to go to Daming Lake first.

So Yinzhen took his wife out to play, while his son and daughter naturally stayed behind to do their homework.

Daming Lake is a great tourist attraction due to its beautiful scenery. The water is clean and the scenery is beautiful. There are many shops around the lake, and people come and go, making it a very lively and bustling place.

Yunrong was somewhat disappointed. Although the items sold in the shop were quite local, Yunrong came from the modern era. Although she had never been to Jinan before, she had seen most of the local specialties.

It looked rather dull. The only thing that was quite satisfying was the food. It was authentic. Even though Yunrong's taste was a bit heavy, the lotus porridge and some side dishes were very refreshing.

This is what Yunrong is most satisfied with.

After strolling around for half a day and having a satisfying lunch, Yunrong decided to go see the lake.

Since Yinzhen was unfamiliar with Daming Lake, he specifically asked Liang Jiugong to conceal his identity and find a local to act as a guide.

Upon hearing this, the man said, "Master and Madam, if you want to see Daming Lake, that's the right thing to do. However, Daming Lake doesn't look very special during the day. If you're interested, why don't you rent a boat tonight and go boating on the lake? That would be truly lively and exciting!"

Yunrong became interested; how about a lake cruise that evening?

"Is there some kind of gathering? Or custom?"

The man laughed: "It's not exactly a gathering or custom, but you could say that. The scenery here is beautiful, and the women raised here are also very pretty, so there are many dance halls and singing girls. In addition, there are many wealthy people, and young masters like to be cultured and have beautiful women by their side. At first, it was just one brothel that started to select the most beautiful woman by taking a boat trip on the lake at night. Later, I don't know when, this nighttime lake trip became a specialty. As soon as night falls, Daming Lake is brightly lit and even more lively than during the day. If you want to take a boat trip, you might as well go at night."

Like most people, this guide didn't take women seriously, and his words were clearly meant for Prince Yinzhen.

Yunrong naturally sensed it too, and gave Yinzhen an ambiguous smile, deliberately saying, "Master, what do you think, should we go?"

Yinzhen glanced at Yunrong and said in a very cooperative manner, "Since it is such a magnificent sight, we should naturally take a look. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of the beauty of Daming Lake?"

The guide was very happy to see that the host had listened to his advice and decided to go that night. He wasn't very capable, but he was familiar with the area and had been guiding merchants from other places for many years. However, most people didn't take him seriously. Now that someone was willing to listen to his "advice," how could he not be happy?

Yunrong deliberately got angry and said, "Master, you're not satisfied with me? I'd like to go with you."

Yinzhen whispered in her ear, "What? Are you afraid that I'll be seduced?"

Yunrong whispered in his ear, "Then you might get seduced."

Yinzhen laughed loudly, and then whispered in Yunrong's ear, "You've already captivated my heart. My heart is all with you. If you don't let go, how can anyone else have the chance to seduce me?"

Liang Jiugong was already used to this. Although the two masters were very proper in public, the emperor and empress liked to flirt in private. At first, Liang Jiugong thought he was seeing a ghost, but after seeing it so many times, he was no longer bothered by it.

But the guide looked frightened. He could tell that the person who hired him was no ordinary person, but he was a little embarrassed that his employer was flirting with him in front of him!

Besides, he heard that this woman was the principal wife, but she didn't seem quite right to him. He had met those ladies before, and they were all very dignified, as if they were afraid that others wouldn't know the meaning of the word "majesty".
