Chapter 542: Your Majesty, Don’t Be Impulsive
The moon hangs high in the sky in the dark night.
It's a rare day without wind and snow.
In a remote town, Qin Shuangchi and Xiao Lan were eating while wearing their straw hats. The Lantern Festival had just passed and the town was still bustling with fireworks being set off.
Qin Shuangchi looked out the window while eating, attracted by the fireworks. He wondered how lively Kyoto City would be during the Lantern Festival.
At this moment, a voice came from the side: "What's the big deal about these fireworks? The fireworks set off for Jiang Ningwan on the Lantern Festival were more beautiful."
Hearing this name, Qin Shuangchi was shocked.
Xiao Lan was also shocked and looked at the prince in a daze, "Did I hear it right?"
Qin Shuangchi slowed down his eating and focused his attention on the table next to him.
"Fireworks are set off for Jiang Ningwan, who is Jiang Ningwan?" someone asked.
The man said, "I didn't know who Jiang Ningwan was at first, but the fireworks that night went off all night long; it was quite spectacular!"
"There are words on the fireworks: 'Jiang Ningwan, the Astonishing Talent'."
"The next day I went to inquire about it, and I found out that Jiang Ningwan is General Ling Wei of our Great Ning Kingdom! A famous female general!"
"I heard that she is also the Princess of Chu."
Hearing this, the people around curiously asked, "She's the Princess of Chu? She's already married, so why would someone set off fireworks for her all night long?"
The man sighed and said, "Isn't it that God is jealous of beauty? He gave her such a beautiful face and bravery, how could he give her a good husband?"
"The King of Chu is dead, and she has become a widow."
"I heard that many young men in Kyoto City are almost knocking down the door of the Chu Palace! Before the martial arts exam, the young men in the Chu Palace can almost form a barracks!"
Hearing this, Qin Shuangchi clenched the chopsticks in his hand tighter and tighter.
"No wonder an admirer set off fireworks for her all night long. This man who set off the fireworks must be someone very important, right?"
"I heard he's the son of Marquis Wenjing, young and promising, and ranked second in the martial arts exam! I heard he's on the verge of winning the heart of Princess Chu!"
Snapped--
The chopsticks in Qin Shuangchi's hand suddenly broke.
He jumped up and rushed out immediately.
Xiao Lan was shocked and immediately chased after him, hugging Qin Shuangchi tightly and anxiously lowering his voice: "Your Highness, what are you doing? You are not going back to the capital, are you?"
"We finally got out, it's safer to stay away from there!"
Qin Shuangchi was furious and clenched his fists, "Do they really think I'm dead?"
Xiao Lan: "Isn't he dead?"
"Don't be impulsive, Your Majesty!"
Many passers-by looked at them with strange eyes.
"Two grown men hugging and kissing in the street is immoral."
After hearing this voice, Qin Shuangchi calmed down a lot.
He pushed Xiao Lan away and walked away.
"Where is the prince going?"
"Go back to Beijing!"
Xiao Lan's expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly chased after him, "Prince! Are you really going back to the capital? If you're discovered, it will bring trouble to the princess! The princess's feelings for you are known to all, and it's definitely not as the rumors say!"
Qin Shuangchi quickened his pace, his eyes deep, "Of course I trust her, but I can't trust those who have ulterior motives!"
Xiao Lan was extremely worried. "Are we just going back like this?"
"Don't we still have Yunshan's invitation?"
Hearing this, Xiao Lan was slightly surprised. Yes, there is also Yunshan Yao, but Yunshan Yao has not been open for many years...
……
It was snowing heavily and the cold was biting.
The warm room was as warm as spring. Jiang Ningwan had already stood up and was lying leisurely on the couch reading a medical book.
It's rare to have some free time.
Li Chun braved the wind and snow and hurriedly pushed the door open, "Miss, you're awake."
"Someone just sent an invitation to Miss Yunshan to attend the Lantern Festival."
Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan was startled, "Lantern Flower Banquet?"
"What is Yunshan invitation?" She took the invitation, opened it and took a look.
Although the invitation was very exquisite, it was a bit flashy.
She threw it on the table.
"Yunshan Yao used to be a favorite place for noble families to hold banquets. The scenery in the courtyard was particularly beautiful, but it later became poorly managed and collapsed."
"I heard that after Jinghong Pavilion became famous, everyone liked Jinghong Pavilion and didn't like to invite people from Yunshan anymore."
"Now that he's made a comeback, it's possible that he knows that Jinghong Pavilion has been shut down."
Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan chuckled, "Aren't they really that behind the times? Jinghong Pavilion has been sealed off for a long time, and they only just found out now."
Li Chun continued, "I heard that this Lantern Flower Banquet was held at great expense, hoping to make a splash and gain fame. I've heard Xiao Lan talk about the beauty of Yunshan Yao before, and I regret that they failed..."
Li Chun was talking to herself. Seeing her face full of longing, Jiang Ningwan picked up the invitation again and looked at it. "Is it really that good? In that case, go and get ready and come with me in two days."
Hearing this, Li Chun was overjoyed, "Can a servant go too?"
"Why not? We can bring followers here, right?"
Li Chun nodded, "Of course, of course! Then I'll go get ready!"
……
Two days later.
Jiang Ningwan originally wanted to ask someone to find out where Yun Shanyao was, but unexpectedly, a carriage had already stopped in front of the Prince of Chu's Mansion.
The sign hanging on the carriage read "Yunshan Invitation".
As Jiang Ningwan walked out of the gate, two men came forward and saluted respectfully, "Dear guest, this is Yunshan Yao's carriage. We are here to take you to Yunshan Yao."
Jiang Ningwan was a little surprised. "You guys at Yunshanyao can provide door-to-door pick-up and drop-off? It really must have cost a lot of money."
Then Jiang Ningwan and Li Chun got on the carriage.
The carriage turned left and right and entered a quiet street.
This road was somewhat unfamiliar to Jiang Ningwan.
When they finally arrived at Yunshanyao, there was not a single carriage on the street. Jiang Ningwan thought that this Lantern Festival was so deserted and few people came to attend.
"Dear guest, Yunshan has invited you."
Jiang Ningwan jumped off the carriage and all she saw was an ordinary door.
She took Lichun straight inside.
Suddenly the door closed from the outside. Jiang Ningwan looked back and was startled.
The original door was now covered with vines and flowers, blending seamlessly into the small garden, making it impossible to tell there was a door there.
"Miss, Miss, listen, there is the sound of running water."
Jiang Ningwan walked slowly forward. The garden path was surrounded by flowers and plants on both sides. There was also a flower stand above the head, which was now covered with frost and snow.
As you walk further along the path, the view in front of you suddenly opens up to a huge garden with waterfalls, flowing water under small bridges, and streams winding to many places with no end in sight.
But what you see makes you want to explore it and your curiosity is aroused.
After crossing the small bridge and the garden, the scenery ahead changed again. It became wider, but there were also more people and it was very lively.
Jiang Ningwan looked for a long time before realizing that the guests here did not come in through the same door.
The scenery that each person sees is different, with each step bringing a new view.
After discovering this, Jiang Ningwan couldn't help but exclaim: "The design of this entrance is really ingenious."
"This Yunshan invitation is indeed quite interesting."
