Chapter 535 Absolutely Magnificent
On the day Princess Fuyun returned to the imperial city, the entire imperial capital was truly bustling with activity.
Almost everyone left their homes, and those who could squeeze into the main street went there. The shops on both sides of the street, and all the places upstairs and downstairs with doors and windows overlooking the street were packed.
Some people even climbed up trees, walls and roofs.
I heard that the emperor had sent out three battalions of soldiers to maintain order and security. The police had also come out, and there were soldiers on both sides of the street blocking the people.
The people who were able to squeeze to the front were holding things in their hands, and some were carrying baskets. The things they held were also varied, but basically they were small and light items.
“Don’t push!”
"Don't make any noise!"
"The princess will pass by later. Anyone who throws prohibited items will be thrown into jail!"
"Don't scare the princess!"
Qing Yunxiao and his friends were standing at the railing on the third floor of a tavern, looking at the densely packed crowd below and listening to all kinds of noises, all of which seemed a little unbelievable.
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have imagined it!" Qing Yi exclaimed in amazement.
"Yes, I never thought that this Princess of Fortune would be so attractive. Not only did the entire city of Dahe come out, but people also came from all directions."
"We in Zhao Kingdom have never seen such a grand occasion, right?"
Even their emperor’s coronation ceremony was not so lively.
It seems that people still prefer people who are blessed.
Xiao Lanyuan listened to what Lan Rong, Qing Yi and the others said, but his eyes were always on the people outside the window of the shop opposite.
The place they occupied was obtained by Qing Yunxiao with great effort.
If the Qing family had not already established business and connections in the Great He Imperial Capital, and had not early on occupied such a private room with a small fence outside from which they could overlook the main street, they would have had to squeeze with the others on the street below.
This place has the best view on the main street. It is said that the princess' carriage would stop for a while when arriving at this place, so the seats in this section are the hardest to get.
Xiao Lanyuan felt that someone like Shen Xuan would definitely be able to find the location of this section.
Either on the same side or on the opposite side.
So Xiao Lanyuan had already scanned the row of shops downstairs before going upstairs. Now he just had to see if Fu Zhaoning was across the street.
His gaze paused, and he saw an acquaintance.
There were several people standing by a wide open window diagonally opposite, one of whom was Situ Bai.
Looking at it this way, even though there were people all along the row, Situ Bai, wearing a moon-white brocade robe with a scarlet belt, was particularly eye-catching.
His face is as white as jade, he is graceful and elegant.
Standing there, it's like the bright moon hanging high in the sky.
Xiao Lanyuan looked at him like this and clenched his fists, because he subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch his mask.
However, if he really made such a move, it would really be like losing.
Over there, Situ Bai seemed to sense something and looked over.
The man in a black robe stood facing the wind, looking like a cypress on a cliff, cold and elegant.
The mask prevents one from seeing his face, but it only makes people more curious about what he looks like. His unique aura is impossible to ignore.
Situ Bai's hands also slowly clenched.
He knew too well how fascinating a man like Prince Jun would be to women.
Even without seeing his face, he could still be attracted to him. He even wanted to touch his smooth face and wanted to know if his face could compare to that of Prince Jun.
The two men looked at each other from a distance.
And just downstairs from Xiao Lanyuan, Shen Xuan was bringing Fu Zhaoning into the private room.
"Originally, the private room reserved for us on the first floor also had a good view of the Imperial Street, but now we are not going to the first floor, and this place is no worse than the first floor."
Liuhuo explained to Fu Zhaoning, "The shopkeeper here is also friendly with our master, so there is no problem in leaving this room."
"Could it be that my uncle has been looking for someone to take his place these past two days?" Fu Zhaoning took off his hooded cloak and breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now they had to walk and squeeze for a long time on the street before they got here.
There are no cars or horses on the streets today, and it is completely packed with people. It is really not easy to squeeze through.
"How could it be just to reserve a spot?" Shen Xuan couldn't help but laugh. "I have some things to deal with, and this is just by the way."
"Miss, it's rare for you to come to Dahe. With such a grand event like this, the master will definitely find the best seat for you to watch." Liuhuo said.
"Indeed, it would be a pity to miss this excitement."
Fu Zhaoning had been locked up for two days, and had been making medicine. She had prepared and refined a large amount of medicinal materials that she had bought from Li Laoshi.
I've been busy for almost two days, I didn't get enough sleep or food, and I feel like I've lost a little weight.
However, the results were very encouraging. The ingredients extracted from those herbs were extremely effective. She studied them and found that they had a wide range of uses.
She really got a huge bargain on those medicinal herbs.
Having obtained so many good things, Fu Zhaoning has been in a very good mood these past two days, and he didn't even think much about that bastard Xiao Lanyuan.
"Miss, you can come out here and see the opposite side and the whole street." Xiaoqin looked out from the railing.
The view is really good, but the people below are like a sea of people, which makes people feel a little dizzy.
Fu Zhaoning sat down at the table and waved his hand, "I won't go to see it for now. I'll go to see it when the princess arrives."
She just squeezed her way in, how could she not know how many people are outside?
At this moment, the voices of the officers shouting to maintain order and the voices of the people could be heard.
"But, uncle, I wanted to ask you just now, what are those things they took?"
Fu Zhaoning was just curious about what the people were holding in their hands.
"Some people sew their own small sachets, some are made of moxa leaves grown at home, picked up some and tied with red cloth strips, some are talismans, and some people write the birth dates of their elders or children, embroider their own handkerchiefs, and make some auspicious tassels. There are all kinds of them." Shen Xuan said.
“What is it for?”
"Isn't it said that Princess Fuyun is blessed by heaven? Being able to pray for blessings means that she is the person closest to heaven, so when the people throw these things at her, it is equivalent to praying for blessings."
Fu Zhaoning was shocked. "Throw them all at her?"
With so many people and so many things, wouldn’t Princess Fuyun be stunned by all these things?
Although they are all small and light things, there are too many of them. Besides, with so many people, who knows if there are some foolish or evil people who put stones in the sachets.
"There will be an empty carriage in front and behind the princess' sedan chair. Those things will be thrown onto these two empty carriages and will not be thrown onto the princess." Shen Xuan said.
