The night in Beijing is different from that in Yangcheng. It seems that there is never a quiet time.
It really is a city that never sleeps.
Miss Jun calmed down and got out of bed.
Liu'er was sleeping soundly on the bed by the window.
This is an ordinary inn. It is the best room with two beds, but it is very clean, as marked on the Chaojingli travel map. If you have money, don’t want to suffer, and want to be low-key, this is the first choice.
.
They came from the street to check in, washed up, and asked the waiter to order two bowls of rice soup, a duck, and two side dishes from the noodle soup shop next door. The master and servant sat in the room and ate comfortably.
Feeling happy, and then fell asleep.
Because of the previous trip to Runan, Miss Jun's body has adapted to it, so she regained her energy after a short sleep, but Liu'er could not.
Miss Jun stood by the bed, looking at Liu'er who was sleeping deeply, and picked up the thin sheet she had kicked out of the bed and put it around her waist.
The windows were wide open, and the moonlight spread between the sky and the earth, complementing the lights all night long and the chatter and laughter embellished among them.
This is the capital, this is the capital.
She has arrived in the capital.
Miss Jun turned around, dressed, opened the door and walked out.
There are always people staying in the inn day and night, so it is not closed, and there are also many guests enjoying the nightlife. Miss Jun walked through the people coming and going in the lobby and walked into the night.
After midnight, although there were still people walking on the streets, they were no better than during the day. Except for a few busy streets and places where brothels and brothels were located, other places fell into a deep sleep.
Miss Jun passed through the city gate, walked eastward along the street, and went north through an alley.
There are no bright lights here, only moonlight paving the roads. This is not a downtown area, and there are no unique places to eat, drink and have fun here marked on the Chaojingli road map.
Crossing a street, two worlds appear in front of you.
On one side, the lights are bright, like a fairyland on earth, while on the other side, there is a solemn and inviolable sleep.
She doesn't need to travel to the capital to know that this side is the most prosperous night market street, the center of the capital, and that side is the Royal Street.
There are government offices, a palace, and her home there.
Miss Jun stood motionless in the night and watched.
My elder sister is a rigid person, has a strict schedule, and controls Jiu Fu very strictly.
They must have fallen asleep by now.
However, I wonder if Jiuyi will secretly hide in the clean room and play, like she did before.
But no matter what, I will always be discovered by my sister, and a nagging lesson is indispensable.
A smile appeared on Miss Jun's lips.
I don't know how long I stood there when a patrol came over from the other side at night.
There are patrols over there openly, and secretly there are more guards, including royal guards and imperial guards.
Miss Jun lowered her head and turned to walk towards the night market street. Behind her, the patrol team passed by. The lantern in front of the horse illuminated the place. Some people noticed that she had specially raised the lantern.
Miss Jun turned her head and took a few steps away from the roadside.
The women walking on the streets at night are either prostitutes soliciting customers or invited to attend private banquets, or they are the daughters of families working for a living in the night market.
The girl is described as pretty, and her dress is not flashy. It is obviously not the former.
The city patrols averted their eyes and passed by her.
Miss Jun then raised her head and looked at them. The place they were going to was also the night market street.
The lights are bright on the streets in the summer night, the flower boats are bright in the river passing by, and the sound of string music and laughter floats on the river.
Miss Jun stood on the bridge and looked at the flower boats under the bridge. The smell of wine and fragrant powder hit her face with the night breeze.
She knew very well what this kind of flower boat was for, so she wasn't curious, but she wasn't shy about it either.
What is there to be shy about? Not only did she know about it, she had also been there.
Of course it was Master who took her there to do this kind of thing.
The boss of Huachuan was very surprised to see her following the master.
"Children, you have to know everything so that you can be immune to all kinds of poisons." The master said seriously.
Of course, she knew that the master's purpose was to make her, a princess with a body of gold, leave in shame.
But is she the kind of person who can be easily embarrassed?
The body of a princess is invulnerable to all poisons.
She swaggered unceremoniously and sat in the flower boat, watching the scantily clad prostitutes singing and dancing.
The singing and dancing on the flower boat are not bad, and the food is delicious.
Thinking of this, Miss Jun couldn't help but smile. The aroma of roasting came from nowhere. She looked away from the flower boat, jumped off the bridge briskly step by step, and turned to the street here.
Most of the shops on the street are closed, and more are temporary stalls set up on the street. Fires are burning and wind lanterns are shaking, illuminating the people walking in twos and threes on the street.
These stalls sell all kinds of food, and Miss Jun also saw the patrol team that just passed by sitting at a stall eating, drinking and laughing.
"Miss, do you want to try it?" the vendor greeted.
Miss Jun shook her head and looked all the way.
She wanted to eat all the way there, but she came out casually and didn't bring any money.
But it was quite interesting to watch along the way.
Who would have thought that she would be wandering the streets of the capital after midnight.
My sister and brother couldn't think of it, Lu Yunqi couldn't think of it, and the emperor couldn't think of it either.
She couldn't think of it herself.
Three or four drunken men stumbled past with crooked smiles and sang songs they learned somewhere. They lined up in a row and occupied the entire street. Miss Jun avoided it and retreated to the entrance of an alley, looking at these drunkards with a smile on her lips.
It's past.
It turns out that the night in Beijing is like this.
I was standing at the entrance of the alley, taking a rest, wondering whether to go back or continue walking around, when I heard the sound of soft footsteps coming from the alley behind me.
This is a busy street with few people living there. They are either teahouses, restaurants or some beauty salons. Miss Jun looked back and saw that the alley was a little dark, with only a few lanterns hanging not far away.
There was faint laughter coming from inside.
There were four or five people walking in the alley. They were tall, short, fat, and thin. They were all men.
I don’t know which house I came from, but I didn’t go toward the street, but turned my back and went inward.
Miss Jun glanced over, looked away, and raised her feet.
"...Why did I lie to you? You listened to me right..."
A male voice came from the alley. He seemed a little unhappy and his voice was slightly raised.
Miss Jun put her feet down and turned her head again. Someone walked by with a lantern on the street corner, shining a light on Miss Jun's surprised face.
Such a coincidence?
Zhu Zan?
She looked at the tallest figure among the few people in the dark alley.
Although it is dim and unclear, even though it is farther and farther away, you can recognize it if you look carefully.
Zhu Zan.
Why did he come to the capital?
The emperor wanted Jin Yiwei to capture him and bring him to the capital, but he ran away halfway.
Even if the most dangerous place is the safest place, you shouldn't come to the capital. Even wandering around Henan and Shanxi is safer.
What does this guy want to do?
Miss Jun looked at the people walking further and further along the alley, hesitated and turned around to follow them. (To be continued)
