"Meng'er, this is where we first met." Mo Beichen held Wang Simeng's hand with a smile on his face.
"Yes, that's right!"
The two were eating takoyaki at a food street.
The takoyaki vendor suddenly recognized Wang Simeng.
"Ah! You are...you are a goddess. A goddess! You really are a goddess!"
The surrounding people heard the noise and looked over.
"My God! She really is a goddess!"
"Goddess! Regent!"
...
Wang Simeng smiled and nodded to everyone. She took Mo Beichen's hand and continued strolling through the snack street, buying a lot of snacks.
The people, seeing this, dared not disturb the two of them.
The two strolled around the mall for a while before returning to the capital.
...
It was the hour of You (5-7 PM). After the palace banquet, an open-air movie was about to be shown.
Inside the Imperial Garden, rows of tables and chairs were carried out and placed in the vast garden.
Many young men and women were discussing open-air movies.
"Do you know what movie will be playing later?" someone asked.
The person next to him shook his head. "I don't know the specifics, but I'm sure it's an amazing movie."
"Yeah, yeah, I'm really looking forward to it."
"I don't know what open-air movies are like. I've only seen five movies at the Wonder Cinema."
"You've seen it five times? Movie tickets are so hard to get. I've only seen it three times."
...
At the same time, all the strings of colorful lights along the streets with the wondrous shops in the city lit up instantly. Walking down the street, you were surrounded by twinkling lights.
It made the whole street look very gorgeous and beautiful.
Many city dwellers also carried strings of colorful lanterns.
"How beautiful!" a girl of about thirteen or fourteen exclaimed excitedly, tossing a string of colored lights back and forth in the air.
Another girl, about the same age, was also playing in the air with strings of colorful lights.
"Yes! I heard today that if you buy something at the Wonderful Shop, you can get a string of fairy lights for free. I specifically chose the little star ones. It's said that these fairy lights can stay on for three days."
"Let's hurry! The movie is about to start! Let's find a good place quickly."
"Wait, let's buy some more popcorn."
"Yes, yes, let's buy popcorn and watch a movie!"
......
Some children followed the adults around the snack stall, happily buying candied hawthorns.
Everyone had a smile on their face.
The people sat down below the large screen. Some sat directly on the ground, while others brought small stools.
As the lights went out and the movie was projected onto the screen, the previously whispering crowd fell silent, their eyes sparkling as they stared at the screen.
The first film shown tonight is "Qu Yuan".
The poem "Qu Yuan" tells the story of Qu Yuan's strong advocacy for resistance against the Qin Dynasty and his internal reforms, which were met with strong opposition from high-ranking officials and slander.
Ultimately, Qu Yuan was dismissed from his official post, his reforms were halted, and filled with grief and indignation, he began his travels north of the Han River. During this time, he also wrote his famous poem, "Li Sao." Finally, driven by patriotic fervor, he threw himself into the Miluo River.
The people watched the movie intently, even forgetting to eat the snacks in their hands.
Many people couldn't help but shed tears, especially when they saw the scene of Qu Yuan's death.
Then they played a second comedy film, "Unexpected".
......
The audience was completely absorbed in the movie and couldn't tear themselves away.
One moment the crowd burst into laughter, the next they couldn't help but applaud. Luckily, the movie was playing loudly enough, or we would have been drowned out by the applause.
It wasn't until the movie ended that they came to their senses, discussing the plot and praising it endlessly.
As they walked, one person couldn't help but exclaim, "The movie was so amazing! It's the first time I've ever seen such a breathtaking film!"
"So this is what movies are like!"
"Dad! This movie is so good! I want to watch it again!" A four or five-year-old boy said happily, pulling on the hand of a middle-aged man.
"Dog Egg, don't you want to eat something delicious? It's Dad's birthday today, we can go to a buffet and eat something delicious."
The little boy's face lit up with excitement. "Haha, Dad! I want to eat it!"
The middle-aged man patted the boy's head. "Shouldn't we hurry up and go?"
"Haha, great! Dad! Today is the happiest day I've ever had."
The man brought the boy to a buffet restaurant for the first time. He looked at the exquisite interior decoration, then at his coarse clothes, pursed his lips, and seemed a little nervous.
The female staff member smiled and walked over to greet the guests warmly. "Welcome!"
The man didn't know what to say, so he simply took out his household registration certificate and handed it to the staff member.
After checking the household registration, the staff member smiled and handed the man a meal card, along with a string of colorful lights.
The boy's eyes lit up when he saw the colorful lights. The man took the lights and gave them to the child, and the two walked further inside, eventually arriving at the area where they could choose their food.
The little boy had never seen so much delicious food before. Back in the village, he would only get an egg and a bowl of coarse grain noodles for his birthday. He never imagined he would be able to eat so much good food here.
"Dad, I heard that the goddess lets children under one meter tall eat for free. Is that true? Can I bring Er Ya, Gou Sheng, Dou Bao, and Man Tou?" The boy's eyes sparkled as he looked at the food in front of him, and drool involuntarily dripped from his mouth.
"Silly boy, you can't come by yourself. You need an adult to come with you." The man led the boy forward, pushing a cart, and began to select food according to the staff's recommendations.
After selecting their food, the two sat down. Following a staff member's suggestion, the man took a piece of cake. They lit and blew out the candles. Then they began to eat.
The boy took a bite of the cream cake, and his eyes lit up. It was the most delicious thing he had ever eaten in his life. He then smiled broadly.
On the Dragon Boat Festival, every orphanage Wang Simeng ran celebrated.
A party was held in each orphanage, where many children sat together in the classroom watching movies, playing games, and eating snacks. The children worked together to make delicious food and were very happy.
...
Several days after the Dragon Boat Festival, people are still discussing the dragon boat races and movies that took place that day. In the midst of their conversation, they've once again praised the goddess to the heavens.
Time flies, and Emperor Yongshun's birthday is fast approaching.
During this period, Wang Simeng successfully advanced her strength to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. It is said that a tribulation of lightning will occur during the Golden Core stage, and Wang Simeng and Mo Beichen have not yet decided on the location to undergo the tribulation.
Envoys from other countries also arrived in the capital.
The new emperor of Qin, the crown prince and princess of Chu, and the leaders of small tribes all arrived in the capital of Qi Cang State ahead of schedule.
The story of the mysterious shop's female owner being a deity has already spread to various countries. Some people are now determined to verify its authenticity.
When they arrived at the Wonderful Fairy Music Pavilion and saw the scenes of the fairy realm, the underwater world, the seaside, and so on, they were all stunned.
