Diaoyutai is separated from Yuyuantan by a wall.

After the eldest princess handed over the imperial property, Emperor Longqing, who felt guilty towards his sister, gave Diaoyutai to her as a private palace.

Today, she and Zhao Shouzheng concealed their true intentions and secretly made their way to Chencang, and finally had a successful tryst here.

There are colorful fish swimming in the pond, and flowers and trees beside the pond are blurred.

At the eldest princess's strong request, Zhao Shouzheng changed into the newly received top scholar robe.

He was seen wearing a black gauze hat with a pair of kingfisher feathers and silver flowers on it, a sixth-grade plain silver belt around his waist, a round collar with a blue cloud pattern, egrets on his chest and back, and a piece of red brocade draped diagonally over his shoulders.

This one-of-a-kind number one scholar robe could charm everyone even if worn by an old man, let alone Mr. Zhao Erye, who already looks first-rate?

Looking at Zhao Lang wearing the top scholar robe and holding a flower and smiling, the princess was almost fascinated.

"Pan An and Song Yu are no match for my Zhao Lang!"

She held her cheeks in her hands like a crazy girl and swallowed secretly.

"Alas, I'm almost forty now, I can't compare to the past." Zhao Shouzheng also looked at the princess and said affectionately: "But Ning An, you are still as beautiful as you were back then, and even more charming."

Then he recited a poem: "The lotus is not as beautiful as the beauty's makeup, the wind blows over the water palace and the pearls and jade are fragrant..."

"Zhao Lang..." The princess' heart melted, and she finally couldn't help but walked forward, hugged him, and said intoxicatedly: "Ning An loves to listen to your poetry the most."

"Ning'an..." Zhao Shouzheng was about to lower his head to smell the fragrance of the flowers, but suddenly his eyes went dark: "Hey, is it cloudy?"

"Who cares if it's cloudy or raining?" The eldest princess put her arms around his neck, raised her head and was about to take the next step when she heard a familiar scream coming from above her head.

"Mingyue!" The eldest princess was stunned and quickly covered her face and looked in the direction of the voice.

When she saw the huge hot air balloon above her head, she seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move.

"Zhao Lang, am I dazzled? Why is the bright moon in the sky?"

"You are not seeing things, Zhao Hao is also on it." Zhao Shouzheng was so frightened that his whole body went limp, and he trembled as he said, "How dangerous it is, what if I fall down? This bastard, he is risking his life to pick up girls..."

It is true that a hero's father makes his son a hero. The father dares to go into the sea to catch turtles, and the son dares to reach for the moon.

The Zhao family is very strong in this aspect...

"That's bad. Mingyue won't see us, right?" Seeing that Zhao Hao was also there, the eldest princess finally calmed down a little. She thought that as long as her godr was there, her own daughter would not be in danger.

It was not until the hot air balloon slowly floated over her head that she leaned softly into Zhao Shouzheng's arms and whimpered, "Zhao Lang, I, I am too embarrassed to see anyone."

"Uh..." Zhao Shouzheng was stunned when he heard this, and thought to himself, shouldn't I be worried about whether my daughter will suffer a loss now?

Qingming Festival is a good time to fly kites, and the sky is filled with all kinds of kites competing for beauty.

There are goldfish, dragonflies, masks, long centipedes, vivid phoenixes, and a hot air balloon as big as a house...

The people flying kites were all dumbfounded. They stared in amazement at the colorful hot air balloon floating overhead, wondering how such a big kite could be flown.

"No, no, no..."

Everyone immediately lost their desire to compete with each other.

"Dad, I want to buy one too." The child riding on his father's neck couldn't take his eyes off in envy.

"I guess we can't afford it." The father said with difficulty.

"No, I want to buy it!" The naughty kid twisted his body around his father's neck.

"Look, there's someone up there!" Someone with sharp eyes pointed at the basket under the balloon and screamed.

"There really is someone..." The people were immediately excited, and amid the exclamations that filled the mountains and plains, many people immediately started running after the hot air balloon.

"There are two big words on it? Take a quick look at what they say." At this time, the people chasing and running made a new discovery.

"It's 'science', stupid!" The literate person read out the two words loudly.

At the Shenjiying training ground.

Qi Jiguang, dressed in military uniform and with a blood-red cape, was watching his subordinates' training with a stern expression.

Today is a holiday, but he did not give the soldiers a day off.

Because the officers and soldiers of the Shenji Camp were too lax and slack, without several months of rigorous training, they could not be called an army at all.

Fortunately, the troops he brought from the south served as a good model. With the personal demonstration and instructions from these old subordinates, he believed that the Shenji Camp would eventually be reborn.

"It is said that the Qi Family Army became famous because of me." Qi Jiguang held the sword at his waist with his hand, and his eyes slowly swept over the familiar figures who had fought for him for many years. He could not help but secretly express his gratitude:

"But I am truly lucky to have met you, a group of loyal and passionate soldiers who do not care about fame and fortune..."

But when he saw those three people who were clearly impeached but still fully engaged in training, his heart ached.

He has not yet explained the reply he received from Mr. Zhang to the three of them.

It’s not because they are afraid to face it, but they just hope to let them stay in the barracks for a few more days before the official order comes down.

How should they proceed next?

General Qi was feeling depressed when he suddenly felt the sky and earth darken.

He couldn't help but be shocked and thought to himself, could it be that there really is a connection between heaven and earth?

When I looked up, I noticed the huge colorful balloon.

"What does this look like?" Deputy General Hu Shouren scratched his head.

"Telescope!" Qi Jiguang shouted, and the captain of the personal guards quickly presented the Marshal with the binoculars that he treasured...

Mr. Zhao naturally kept his word and asked Gao Wu to deliver a set to Qi Jiguang yesterday.

Qi Jiguang took it and looked at the hot air balloon, and saw the eye-catching word "science".

"Hahaha!" General Qi couldn't help but burst into laughter. "So this is another trick by Young Master Zhao!"

"Is that the guy who made the telescope?" Hu Shouren also took out the monocular telescope that Qi Jiguang gave him, and started tracking the balloon with the commander.

"I feel like this thing is also very useful to us."

"Of course!" Qi Jiguang nodded excitedly and said, "If we raise a telescope every ten or eight miles on the Great Wall, the Tartars will never be able to sneak into the pass again."

"We can also fly to their camp with explosives and drop them from the sky. That will definitely blow up the camp!" In a blink of an eye, General Qi had thought of five or six military uses for hot air balloons.

"So, Mr. Zhao is a real treasure." Hu Shouren couldn't help but sigh, "When he comes as a guest, I'll blackmail him."

On a hot air balloon.

Mingyue snuggled up to Zhao Hao, her head resting on his shoulder, looking at the countless people below her feet in a daze, feeling that she had reached the peak of her life.

The people on the ground had become as small as ants. The trees had turned into grass. Even the houses that were several yards deep had shrunk to the size of a watercolor box.

"Well, Mingyue, you have made progress." The young county lady was very pleased that she did not use the word "arrow box" to describe it.

It turns out that practice makes perfect.

"Hey, this box is a bit big..." Mingyue looked down in confusion and saw that the hot air balloon had passed the gate tower of Fuchengmen and flew into the capital amid the exclamations of the defenders.
