Hunting system, and I ended up becoming the empress!

Xiao Zhixing woke up before dawn the next day.

I asked for some information on officials and current affairs sent by Yingyi.

Among them, the special attention was paid to the fact that Zhao Yuanqi was so old, but he only had one eldest prince with ordinary qualifications.

His name is Zhao Lin, he is 15 years old this year, and he is the son of Concubine Zhang.

Thinking about the incident during the hunting trip in Yanshan, could it be that something happened to the eldest prince or the emperor?

I went to the live broadcast room to watch the replay and saw the respect that future people had for the Ghost Guard.

She nodded. It seemed that Yingyi and his men had done a good job. The Ghost Guard had existed for thousands of years, so it must have been a success.

After breakfast, she planned to go out for a walk and see the prosperity of Shengjing.

She changed into a black robe with red patterns, her hair still in a simple high ponytail, and with a short sword at her waist, she went out on horseback with Baimei and Momei.

The palace is located in the inner city where the powerful and wealthy gather, close to the imperial palace.

Along the way, the open streets were only occupied by carriages and servants of the rich and powerful, with the occasional patrol by the Beijing Guards. The streets seemed solemn and quiet.

Passing Shengyan Gate and entering the outer city to the north, the bustling scene is overwhelming.

The northern district here is wealthy and is populated by officials and literati from Beijing. The further south you go, the poorer it becomes.

The west district is the commercial area where merchants live, the east district is where warriors and generals live, and the south district is a mixed bag with mostly civilians.

Xiao Zhixing rode his horse towards the west district, which was bustling.

Especially the commercial street near the North District, which is considered the CBD area of ​​Shengjing City.

Most of the shops owned by the powerful and wealthy were located there, and the royal palace also had a few shops there.

Looking back, the customs and culture of Dasheng are similar to those of the Tang Dynasty.

Women are walking around openly on the street, some dressed as men, and people just call them girls, and others are not surprised.

There were no bound feet, and even girls from brothels solicited customers on the roadside. Some women went straight in with their maids. There were quite a few people like this.

There are flags of various colors flying on the roadside and the houses are magnificent.

The shouts of hawkers can be heard one after another, all kinds of food are a fusion of north and south, and passers-by are dressed neatly and cleanly.

It seems like a peaceful and prosperous time, but I don’t know what the outside world is like outside Shengjing?

Arriving at the famous Fuyuan Restaurant in Shengjing, Xiao Zhixing jumped off his horse and was about to go in, "Huh? Princess Qingluan!"

Xiao Zhixing turned around and saw Lin Rusu, who had handed him the cloak, and Li Ningxiu and their maids also coming towards him.

The people around them were carrying a lot of things and it seemed that none of them were riding in a carriage.

Xiao Zhixing turned around and waited for them.

Lin Rushu took a few quick steps, bowed with a smile, and said, "Greetings, Princess."

Li Ningxiu and another little girl also bowed to her.

Xiao Zhixing nodded gently, "It's better to meet by chance than to invite each other. Will you come in and sit with me?"

Lin Rushu smiled gently, "It's my honor."

The four of them, along with their maids, entered the restaurant and asked for a private room on the second floor and sat down.

Lin Rushu pointed at the young, cute girl and introduced her, "This is Ning Xiu's cousin, Wen Xiu, Grand Tutor Li's favorite granddaughter."

Li Wenxiu stood up and greeted Xiao Zhixing as a formal acquaintance, and refuted her with a smile:

"Wenxiu meets the princess!... Sister Rushu, if you say that, my elder sister will be jealous."

Her voice is as crisp as an oriole, and her eyes are full of cleverness.

Li Ningxiu covered her mouth and chuckled, "You little naughty monkey, you dare to act weird in front of the princess. I will tell grandfather and punish you to copy books."

Li Wenxiu's face suddenly turned bitter, and she pestered Li Ningxiu for mercy.

It is obvious that the relationship between the two is not just a superficial sisterhood, they have a very good relationship.

Lin Rushu personally poured tea for Xiao Zhixing and asked with a smile, "It's rare for the princess to go out today, do you have any plans?"

Xiao Zhixing was scanning the barrage, because with the appearance of Lin Rushu and Li Wenxiu's names, the barrage started to go crazy again, with a large number of asterisks appearing.

They were all screaming with excitement, and the scale was no less than when he appeared.

So, will these girls in front of us also become famous in the future?

This is strange.

You have to know that in ancient times, even if a woman was a queen, all that was recorded in history books was a surname.

What kind of experiences and stories does an average woman need to go down in history?

[Ahhh, Wenxiu**, is it really her? Is it her? Ahhh, I kill you!!]

[Sure enough, the camera should follow the princess, hahaha, I saw the goddess! ! ]

Bai Su rolled his eyes and watched the live broadcast while sweeping the floor in the palace.

Humph, she will work hard to get a promotion and a raise, and she will definitely go out with the princess in the future.

[Rushu, my Rushu **, oooo, so beautiful... Is it really Rushu **? The ** in my dream]

[Wow, I want to cry too, damn it, I feel so sad now...]

Xiao Zhixing frowned. The comments about Lin Rushu seemed a little ominous.

She came back to her senses and took the teacup, "No plans, just a casual walk."

Li Wenxiu immediately interrupted, "Then Princess, will you follow us to Wenkui Tower? There is a literary gathering today, and talented people from the north are gathering. It will be quite lively."

Lin Rushu also invited, "Next year is the Spring Examination. Many students have already come to Shengjing early. A literary gathering is held every month. Now is the time for northern literati to gather and exchange ideas through literature. We women can also participate and join in the fun."

Li Wenxiu nodded, "Sister Rushu was still the best in the poetry and prose group last month. This time there are so many talented people showing up, it will be even more lively."

Xiao Zhixing was indeed bored, so he went with them to take a look.

The original owner had heard Qi Mengshu mention this literary gathering.

However, the original owner was socially phobic and never went there. Qi Mengshu did gain some fame in literary gatherings and was considered a talented woman.

After the meal, the group crossed two streets and arrived at Wenkui Tower.

The people coming and going here are all scholars and noble ladies, and because of this, the whole street seems to be elegant.

The four of them went upstairs with their maid and entered the private room in the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

Li Ningxiu smiled and said, "Princess, here is some Huangshan Bai that my grandfather left for me. Would you like to try it?"

Xiao Zhixing nodded, "I'm giving the priceless Huangshan peony to you for nothing. Wouldn't the old master feel bad?"

Li Wenxiu smiled with dimples and continued:

"Grandma has forbidden Grandpa to indulge in tea tasting. These tea leaves were personally sent by Grandma. Anyone who borrows this box can taste them."

Xiao Zhixing laughed, "The old lady is generous."

While making tea and enjoying some pastries, the window on the first floor lobby side was opened and soon the place became lively.

The shop owner sets up the table with pens and ink, and anyone who wants to participate in the competition can splash ink on the spot.

Li Wenxiu leaned over to the window and chattered to them, "It's started, it's started, ah, there are so many new talents..."

Suddenly, she exclaimed, "Ah, so...beautiful..., uh..."

Lin Rushu was puzzled, "What's so beautiful? Which girl is she?"

Li Wenxiu's eyes sparkled, "It's a young master..."

Her cheeks blushed slightly and she was embarrassed. "You are so pretty."

Li Ningxiu couldn't help but scold her, "You are shameless and presumptuous. How can you say that a man is beautiful?"

Li Wenxiu turned around and said, "Hehe, I was just amazed."

On Xiao Zhixing's side, Bai Su had enlarged the camera a little and aimed it at the venue in response to the audience's request.

So she took advantage of the live broadcast to see clearly below, and noticed the handsome boy who looked like a girl at first sight.

What Li Wenxiu said was conservative. This woman is not just beautiful, she is stunningly beautiful.

As delicate as a peony.

Such an appearance would be a disaster for a man.

Xiao Zhixing just sighed, glanced at the others, withdrew his attention in boredom, and continued to drink tea with Lin Rushu.

The live broadcast comments were quite lively, with all of them making explicit confessions to the boy and calling him "husband" or "wife".

These people fall in love with every girl they meet and are really despicable.

"Eh? Big sister, Qi Mengshu is here!" Li Wenxiu frowned, "She saw me..."

Sure enough, not long after, Qi Mengshu came upstairs with his maid and stood at the door of the box, obviously looking for Li Ningxiu.

But when she found Xiao Zhixing was there, her face froze for a moment before she came in with a smile and bowed:

"I came here uninvited because I want to see Miss Ning Xiu. Miss Ning Xiu, can I have a few words with you alone?"

Li Ningxiu lowered her eyes and said nothing. She couldn't understand what Qi Mengshu meant.

In the future, one of them will be the wife and the other a concubine. What's there to say?

Li Wenxiu rushed over to block her cousin and said angrily, "What do you mean? Are you trying to disgust my elder sister on purpose?"

Qi Mengshu maintained a dignified smile, "Miss Wenxiu misunderstood, I have no ill intentions, I really want to have a good talk with Miss Ningxiu."

Li Wenxiu sneered, "What's there to say? When you are carried into the Li Mansion, you will have the chance to pay respect to the mistress!"

Qi Mengshu's eyes turned cold, as if he was humiliated, and he half covered his face and sobbed:

"I know you look down on me, but I was so frightened when I fell into the water that day that I forgot that I could swim. I am grateful to Li Lang for his kindness..."

"But don't I feel bad for being reduced from a wife to a concubine? We are both women, why are you so mean to me?"

Then she turned to Xiao Zhixing and complained sadly, "Sister, my love for you is obvious to everyone, but just because of this misunderstanding, you drove our family out of the palace."

"Now that I've become a concubine, you don't care about blood ties at all and join outsiders in mocking me?"

"Are you really so cold-blooded? Or is it because of Prince Feng? Do you still hate me?"

"Are you lying when you said you didn't envy Prince Feng?"

At this time, perhaps hearing the noise, the doors of the boxes on the second floor opened one after another, and many familiar faces on the houseboat that day showed their heads.

Some brave ones even came over and gathered at the door to watch the fun.

Among them was the shiny bald Huo Baijun. He was not polite at all and walked in directly:

"Hello, Princess, and the other ladies. Haha, Li Wenxiu and Feng Min are next door. Do you want me to call them over?"

As he said this, he shouted loudly to the next room, "Li Wenxiu, stop shrinking your head and come here quickly. And Feng Min, how can you two parties be absent?"

He looks like he's just trying to watch the fun and not mind making trouble. He really deserves a beating.

Xiao Zhixing: Such a shameless person is rare, but this carefree look does have some of the legendary style of Xiao Yuanshan.

If you don’t know, you would think he is Xiao Yuanshan’s biological son.
