He Youyou, who was resting her chin on her hand, chuckled.
From her perspective, Zhao Changqing was craning his neck, as were the soldiers and the people craning their necks throughout the streets…
They look just like a bunch of silly geese.
However, she didn't forget who brought her this kind of attention.
She waved to Zhao Changqing.
"Well done, hero! Congratulations on your triumphant return!"
Zhao Changqing stared at her intently, his gaze both intense and restrained.
The hand holding the reins tightened, then loosened.
Suddenly, he pulled his foot out of the stirrup, stomped on the horse's back, and leaped into the air.
Amidst the gazes of everyone on the street, his figure traced an arc, landing on the eaves of the first floor of the restaurant, then using the momentum to leap upwards onto the second-floor windowsill.
The change happened so fast that the people on the second floor didn't even have time to react.
He Youyou stood by the window, stunned for a moment as she faced the person who had suddenly appeared before her.
Just as I was about to say something, I suddenly felt my arm being pulled.
Cheng Tingrui pulled her away from the window and behind him.
"Youyou, be careful."
He spoke to He Youyou, but his gaze was fixed on Zhao Changqing.
"Your Highness, it's dangerous to climb up here. You'd better go down quickly so the soldiers downstairs won't worry."
Zhao Changqing leaped from the windowsill into the room.
"I've been doing things like climbing since I was a child. I'm not as timid as Master Cheng, who doesn't even dare to climb onto a windowsill."
Cheng Tingrui's eyes flickered: "Why did Your Highness not take the usual route through Zhuque Avenue to enter the capital this time, but instead went all the way to Wutong Street?"
Zhao Changqing smiled slightly: "Before I entered the capital, I consulted a fortune teller. He said the hexagram was Gou, which means there is wind in the world and all things encounter each other. If I walk along Wutong Street, I will meet the person I want to see."
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to He Youyou: "Youyou, don't you think so?"
Today, Zhao Changqing seemed somewhat unfamiliar to He Youyou.
"Why are you even doing fortune-telling? This isn't like you." He Youyou pointed out the window. "There are so many people waiting downstairs, aren't you going back?"
In the imperial city, the officials in charge of ceremonies always held the ceremonies precisely at the appointed time.
Is it really alright that Zhao Changqing is taking so long to arrive?
"Youyou, we haven't seen each other for so long, don't you want to see me? Why are you chasing me away?" Zhao Changqing said, looking aggrieved.
He Youyou smiled and said, "Today is a big day, I was just afraid you would miss the auspicious time."
Zhao Changqing rolled his eyes and grinned mischievously: "Auspicious time... in my heart, only when I'm with you is it an auspicious time."
The waiter huddled tightly against the corner of the wall.
What exactly did the King of Yue say...?
Is this something I can listen to?
Even though He Youyou had heard him express his feelings to her face, she never expected him to be so bold as to say such a thing.
Even the most thick-skinned person would feel a little embarrassed at this moment.
He Youyou lowered her head to cover up her embarrassment and coughed lightly.
She regained her composure and said calmly, "Hanzhang, business is more important, go quickly."
Zhao Changqing reluctantly took a step back: "Alright, if you let me go, I'll go. I'll come find you to talk again when I return from the palace?"
Cheng Tingrui watched He Youyou's expression nervously, only to see her nod slightly.
Zhao Changqing was overjoyed.
He laughed heartily, then flipped over and leaped out of the window again.
After two leaps and bounds, he returned to his horse.
He grabbed Jingyu's reins with one hand and drew his longsword from his waist with the other.
Sword pointed to the sky: "All soldiers, heed my command! Return to the capital immediately!"
Hundreds of generals shouted in unison, "Yes! Return to the capital immediately!"
He Youyou stood quietly upstairs, watching the torrent of soldiers in silver helmets and armor rushing past on the street below.
Some things you have to see with your own eyes to understand what it means to be truly awe-inspiring.
"So handsome," she murmured.
Cheng Tingrui suddenly turned to look at her: "What?"
He Youyou smiled and said, "Some things are inherently powerful enough to move people, such as soldiers, and the discipline, combat effectiveness, aesthetic effect, spirit and national strength they represent."
