The day the second princess was escorted to the capital.
Linghu Lan and Hongchen went to watch.
Both of them were already quite old at that time, and their appearances had changed, so they were not recognized by anyone.
only……
In the bustling crowd, the two almost broke their bones.
After finally getting to the end of the crowd, we were almost separated from each other again.
Gossip has serious consequences.
At the critical moment, Hongchen's large hand firmly grabbed her waist and pulled her out.
"Quick, come into my arms."
Linghu Lan couldn't help but laugh, leaning against his chest and listening to his heart pounding.
After a while, the crowd dispersed.
The two of them finally caught their breath.
Let's go!
"good!"
"How about we go to Baoyuelou for braised eel, shredded duck salad, and stir-fried pork slices with vinegar first? After that, we can go to Guanyunlou for soup dumplings and shrimp porridge..."
"Okay! Let's go!"
"What's wrong?"
"If you don't leave now, your family head's drool will be everywhere!"
Hongchen smiled, took her hand, and quickly walked towards Baoyue Tower.
"It's been many years since I've been to the capital. This time, you can stay here a little longer. We can leave when you're tired of the food."
"OK."
Hongchen pulled her away, his imposing manner causing quite a stir among the crowd.
"Whose husband is this? How can he be so ruthless, walking ahead of the head of the family?"
"Walking in front is nothing, you didn't see what just happened, that husband actually had the head of the family in his arms..."
"The wife's authority is weak! The wife's authority is weak! She has truly disgraced us women!"
Linghu Lan and Hongchen exchanged a smile. What business is it of yours?!
The two ate their meal with great enthusiasm.
In the crowd.
A palace maid who was leaving the palace to deliver an imperial decree lifted the curtain of her sedan chair and happened to see the two of them. She couldn't help but think about it, but when she saw their faces, her eyes lit up instantly.
Regent.
She instinctively wanted to shout it out, but immediately, she held it back.
The young palace maid beside her asked, "Master, what's wrong?"
The palace maid shook her head and said, "I thought I saw an old friend, but it turns out I was mistaken!"
"Why don't you take another look, apprentice? If it's true, it would be a joyous occasion to meet an old friend, drink and chat happily."
"No need, let's go back to the palace! The Imperial Noble Consort is waiting for a reply!"
"yes!"
The old palace maid left in a sedan chair.
I couldn't calm down for a long time.
What if she called out to the Regent?
There is no place for the Regent in the palace now. Reporting this to His Majesty would only put both His Majesty and the Regent in a difficult position.
The imperial harem is now a battleground for power struggles, no longer the peaceful place it once was.
The Regent had treated her well in the past; this should be considered his way of repaying him!
...
Linghu Lan and Hongchen stayed in Kyoto for more than ten days.
I glanced at Hōkō-ji Temple from afar, then quietly left Kyoto and headed to the next place with delicious food.
Where to next?
"Yanggu pear blossom wine, Mingzhou Qinglong wine, Jinghe assorted sausage, Fanguan steamed chicken—go whichever you like!"
Have I gained weight?
"without!"
"I don't believe you, you're lying."
"..."
...
Linghu Lan and Hongchen spent the rest of their lives in this world eating and shopping.
When he ran out of money, he made a living by performing in the mortal world.
The two of them lived out their lives peacefully and without incident.
When death comes, there is no particular pain. While eating, holding the rice bowl, the head tilts to the side, and the person is gone.
Hongchen was taken aback, then a pain spread through her heart, and she followed suit.
Half a lifetime spent chasing, half a lifetime spent following!
A beam of white light enveloped Linghu Lan, signaling the start of a new journey.
