Chapter 228 Beautiful

Si Linglong and others on the side were also stunned by Xiao Li Sheng's sudden action.

But little Li Sheng was too young, so they naturally couldn't think of anything else. They just remembered how Si Linglong kissed little Li Sheng in the garment shop before, and guessed that the child had learned it.

Look, little Li Sheng has a slightly proud look on his face, as if he has done it.

Si Linglong didn't think that her child had learned bad things. She thought about how this stepbrother had always been elegant and respectable the two times she met him before. When she suddenly saw his dazed expression, she just wanted to say something.

[As expected of my son, you did a great job! 】

Having said that, I still took the opportunity to teach little Li Sheng some safety tips, "Little Li Sheng, from now on, you can only kiss people you really like, and from now on, apart from me and the people you like, you can't let anyone else kiss you, do you understand?"

Of course there were pedophiles in ancient times. Although you may not necessarily encounter one, it is still necessary to popularize science, especially since little Li Sheng is so cute.

Little Li Sheng seemed confused when he heard Si Linglong's words, but he still nodded seriously to indicate that he had taken note of it.

Helian Yue on the side couldn't help but cough dryly.

This woman...

This was on the street, and they kept talking about love and kissing, without any sense of reserve at all.

"Ahem..." Helian Yue coughed dryly and quickly changed the subject, looking at Si Jinyu who was also a little embarrassed.

"Master Si, did you come down the mountain earlier to prepare for this grand gathering?"

Although his tone was doubtful, his voice was firm, and he had obviously guessed why Si Jinyu was here.

Si Linglong was a little confused when she heard that, and then she saw that Si Jinyu had recovered from the shock and nodded respectfully to Helian Yue.

"Small profits for merchants, sorry to make you laugh."

Just by looking at the way they were dressed and traveled today, Si Jinyu knew that they were traveling incognito today. Since they were traveling incognito, Si Jinyu naturally spoke carefully and tried not to reveal the other party's identity.

Helian Yue knew that this man was smart, and now he was satisfied with his response.

Si Linglong on the side looked at Helian Yue, then at Si Jinyu, and only then did she realize what was going on.

"What do you mean? Is this big gathering..."

"It was just a gathering I casually organized while I was temporarily staying in Pingcheng, and all of my business friends came to support me."

Si Jinyu's tone was very nonchalant, and he took the initiative to invite everyone, "Today is a rare opportunity, I wonder if I can host a few of you to come to the gathering and watch?"

It was said to be an invitation, but it was more of a question about Helian Yue's opinion.

Si Linglong naturally looked at Helian Yue, but with a hint of excitement in her eyes.

[My eldest brother paved the way for me. I can directly put the purchases on his account later. I made a profit on this trip! ]

Although Helian Yue really didn't need that little bit of money, but seeing how much she was looking forward to it, he naturally wouldn't pour cold water on her.

Originally they were planning to attend this so-called grand gathering.

"Then thank you for your help." Helian Yue said in a deep voice. Si Jinyu did not have the fear and trepidation that most people would have when they got the opportunity to serve the emperor. He still had a calm and composed look on his face. He raised his hand and led the way for the few people.

It is said that this large gathering will occupy the entire Chengnan Street, so it is quite large in scale. Since one has to pay to enter, there must be more than just things for sale inside.

In addition to food and entertainment, there are also various performances and competitions, and even a separate arena prepared for everyone to set up a challenge and accept the invitation. Compared to the outside, it is not crowded inside, but it is more than ten times more lively.

After separating from Si Linglong and the others, Gu Qingquan had already entered the meeting.

The endless long street was decorated with all kinds of colorful lights. The streets were lined with all kinds of famous things. There were restaurants and shops on both sides. Even the people in charge of selling goods at the stalls were not ordinary merchants, but partners of various businesses who had been trained and behaved in a very disciplined manner.

Before entering the palace, Gu Qingquan often walked around outside the palace, and it was the first time he saw such a large gathering.

"The cakes from Baizhou Yunxianglou, the famous small brews from Nancheng Wanshengtang, and even the embroidery products from Yongjing Jinxiu Pavilion and the rouge from Zhenbaofang..."

As a maid who had served Gu Qingquan since childhood, Xiang Ye thought she was very knowledgeable and could not help but secretly smack her lips.

"Girl, this street alone has gathered all the goods from famous shops from all over the world. It's like a small branch of each shop!"

No wonder you have to pay an "entrance fee" just to enter. Some of these shops have branches in Pingcheng, but some have no branches at all. Usually, if you want to see them, you have to ask traveling merchants to bring you the goods. The time and travel expenses for a round trip are more than the entrance fee.

The price is worth it just by looking at the shops, not to mention that this is only a small part of the event.

"Let's go take a look in the front." Although Gu Qingquan didn't care much about the food and daily necessities, it was a rare opportunity for her to leave the palace and go shopping. She also felt this sense of freedom after a long time, and her usually cold face showed a rare sense of relaxation and joy.

The master and the servant were walking towards the high platform at the end of the long street. Suddenly, their steps paused, and Gu Qingquan keenly noticed that a pair of eyes were falling on her.

"Someone."

Xiang Ye's face tensed when he heard this, and he asked quietly, "Is it that gentleman?"

Gu Qingquan glanced at her, his clear eyes slightly cold.

If that man couldn't even conceal this little bit of aura so that she could easily detect it, then how could he be worthy of being the leader of the Emperor's secret guard camp?

"Not him."
