When we came out of Donggongsheng Gate, it was already dark.
Without even going home, Zhao Hao ordered people to rush to Dengshikou.
Today is the opening day of Jingcheng Wei Jixian.
But the princes and ministers in Beijing are not as idle as those in Nanjing, and the guests who came to show their support today are a very luxurious lineup.
Therefore, the restaurant deliberately set the opening time at the middle of the You hour, which is 7 o'clock in the evening.
However, Zhao Hao still had to stop by Shiwangfu Street to pick up Li Mingyue and his sister.
It's not clear whether he has a regular job in the Ministry of Personnel, so it would be more convenient for the brother and sister to go there directly.
But no one knew what Li Mingyue was thinking. She insisted on waiting for Brother Zhao to pick her up, no matter how late it was.
Of course Zhao Hao didn't care, but the young master was depressed.
He also made an appointment with a group of friends to take them to the store to try some new food.
It's already dark, my friends must have arrived long ago, but I'm still dawdling at home, how embarrassing...
He paced back and forth at the gate of the mansion, looking at the street corner to the south, and kept saying, "Why haven't you come yet? Are you coming or not?"
Li Mingyue was so annoyed that if she hadn't been wearing jewelry weighing more than ten kilograms, she would have kicked the noisy old crow directly to Dengshikou.
"If you're in such a hurry, why don't you just go by yourself? It's just two steps, enough for both of you to go back and forth!"
"How can that be possible?" Li Chengen shook his head decisively and said, "I still have my own mission."
"What is your mission?!" Li Mingyue asked curiously.
Li Chengen smiled but said nothing.
"Will you tell me or not?" Li Mingyue sneered and reached out to skillfully pinch the skin on Li Chengen's back.
"It hurts, let me go..." Li Chengen grimaced in pain, and suddenly saw three black carriages driving in from the street corner.
"Brother Zhao is here!" He quickly shouted the spell.
Sure enough, Li Mingyue stopped immediately and let her hateful brother go.
"Don't affect my being a lady." She warned Li Chengen.
"Except for the Lantern Festival and the Chinese Valentine's Day, no lady would go out at this time..." Li Chengen muttered softly while Li Mingyue was restrained.
It was not until Li Mingyue gave him a kind look that Li Chengen realized that he had gotten carried away today...
But before he could change his words, he felt a punch on his soft spot.
"Oh..." Li Chengen's body suddenly tilted, he covered his ribs, bent over and gasped.
Li Mingyue had already put away her moves and took out a small mirror to look at herself. After confirming that she had restored her impeccable ladylike manners, she put away the mirror and smiled as she watched the carriage slowly approach.
Just like that punch, it was thrown by someone else.
~~
A carriage in the middle slowly stopped in front of the brother and sister. Zhao Hao opened the door and said with a smile, "Are you waiting impatiently?"
"No, big brother. We just came out too." Li Mingyue was seen shaking her head slightly in the light, her face as bright as a pearl with a halo and as shiny as a beautiful jade.
Zhao Hao's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Sister, you look so beautiful today. Come on in the car."
Hearing this, Li Mingyue suddenly felt that it was worth the half hour she spent dressing up carefully.
Young boys and girls don't have so many taboos. Zhao Hao reached out and pulled Li Mingyue into the carriage.
I saw that the gauze sleeves of her long skirt were made up of several layers, and the cuffs of each layer were embroidered with lifelike peonies. The styles were exactly the same, but the colors varied from yellow to blue.
As the girl's wrist gently moved, the peony on her cuffs kept changing colors.
Zhao Hao was surprised by what he saw. After he sat down, he pulled her hand and moved it around to see the peony flower constantly changing color under the glass lamp...
"The hem of my skirt is like this too. I'll show it to you, big brother, when we get off the car." Li Mingyue whispered shyly to Zhao Hao.
"Ahem!" At this time Li Chengen also squeezed into the car and sat down between the two of them.
"Mingyue, please move a little to the left. Brother, please move a little to the right. It's too crowded."
Li Mingyue was immediately furious. She had finally managed to arouse her elder brother's interest and get close to him to talk.
Where did this wild monkey come from? Why is it deliberately causing trouble?!
Li Mingyue took advantage of the bumpy ride in the carriage to put her fingers on Li Chengen's arm and twisted a flower out of it.
Li Chengen was in so much pain that he almost cried, but he still stayed at his post!
Because he had learned from watching plays for many years that the hero and heroine are most likely to make mistakes when they are about to separate...
Preventing the two from making mistakes is the young master’s top priority these days!
Sister, although we are twins, you are still young and will understand your brother’s good intentions in the future.
~~
In the north of the city, next to Shichahai Lake, the Bell Tower and Drum Tower stand quietly.
Compared to the Drum Tower which is as majestic as a palace, the Bell Tower next to it looks much more petite.
But the Bell Tower is actually a little taller than the Drum Tower. Standing next to the bell tower which is more than ten meters high, you can have a bird's eye view of the entire Shichahai Lake.
This big city with a population of millions is still brightly lit even at night, and it becomes even more charming.
Princess Ning'an leaned on the white marble railing on the top floor of the Drum Tower and quietly looked at the lights of Houhai not far away.
Those lights are the pleasure boats cruising Shichahai at night.
The wind brought the sound of long stringed instruments and the faint sound of a woman singing.
This reminded the princess of the beautiful night sixteen years ago when she, with the help of a group of Taoist priests from the Fire God Temple, put Zhao Liben, who came to Shichahai to look for his lover, into a sack.
Then we went to Houhai Lake, tied a big rock to our legs, and made a gurgling sound...
Thrown into this tranquil lake.
According to her plan, after Zhao Liben had drunk enough water, she would fish him out and ask him whether he intended to be a soup dumpling or return Zhao Lang to her?
Unfortunately, the emperor's brother got the news and rushed to rescue Zhao Liben.
As a result, not only did the plan fail, but the two sides also forged a deep hatred...
Well, the eldest princess insisted that if the emperor brother did not make trouble, with Zhao Liben's character of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, he would definitely hand over Zhao Lang obediently.
But after letting the emperor's brother mess things up, not only did Zhao Lang not come back, but his father also knew what she had done. Without saying a word, he married her to a strange man...
And today, she felt the fear of losing her lover again, and the princess couldn't help but hugged her arms tightly.
That confused and helpless look was completely different from the female bandit who dared to whip the emperor.
Hearing the sound of someone coming up the stairs behind her, the eldest princess suddenly burst into tears.
When I turned around, I saw Zhao Lang looking up at me.
It was not easy for Mr. Zhao to go out, so he exchanged clothes with Fan Datong while it was dark and sneaked out through the back door.
The eldest princess turned into a gust of fragrant wind, threw herself into his arms, and burst into tears.
Although Zhao Shouzheng didn't know why Ning An was crying, he knew that what he should do at this time was to hug her tightly and give her warmth and support.
When Ning An has cried enough, she will naturally tell him the reason.
There is no moon tonight, but the stars are exceptionally bright.
The Milky Way that blocked the way for the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl also quietly peeked out...
