That's what he thought to himself, but what others did was none of his business.
Since we've decided to go boating on the lake tonight, I should take a nap now so I won't be too tired later.
So the guide was sent away, and Yinzhen and Yunrong went to a small but exquisite house. Yunrong didn't ask where the house came from.
Yinzhen naturally wouldn't rent a boat, but Liang Jiugong was very capable and quickly got one. The boat looked no different from the pleasure boats that young masters usually rented, but the interior was very understated, luxurious and sophisticated.
Moreover, it's not as noisy as other flower boats.
Yinzhen led Yunrong onto the boat, where dinner had already been prepared. It wasn't dark yet, but there were already quite a few boats scattered across the lake.
"It's still early, let's eat first! I've asked around, and it won't get lively until it's almost completely dark."
Actually, Yunrong isn't particularly fond of lively gatherings, but the fact that she doesn't like them and that she can't participate in them due to her circumstances makes her feel uneasy.
It's not that life in the palace is bad. Yunrong knows that in ancient times, even if she hadn't married Yinzhen, she would probably have lived a very limited life. But after staying in the palace for a long time, she always wanted to see some excitement, and even just being in the palace was nice.
We ate local specialties for dinner. Jinan is in the south, and there weren't many seasonings available back then. Combined with the local characteristics, the food was relatively light, which made it quite delicious.
After dinner, it was already past dusk. In April, the sun set at a perfect time, casting a beautiful red glow on the water. Pavilions and towers could also be seen in the surrounding area, making it a truly picturesque scene.
The couple drank tea, enjoyed the scenery, and flirted; time passed quickly.
As darkness fell, more and more boats appeared on the lake. Those who could afford to come here at night for entertainment were all wealthy, and the boats, viewed from afar, were all beautifully decorated.
Before long, decadent music could be heard coming from different boats. When the boat carrying Yinzhen and Yunrong passed by other boats, the sounds of young masters flirting with women could be heard, which was extremely extravagant.
Yunrong wasn't as shy as women in ancient times; she didn't even blush when the sound reached her ears, but she was quite impressed.
I had seen some TV dramas before and thought they were already quite extravagant, but I never imagined that what I saw in front of me was even more amazing.
