After the empress woke up from her enlightenment, she pondered for another two days, or rather, settled down for two days before returning to normal.
"Follow me out of the palace."
As soon as Ren Baqian returned to the palace, he heard the empress say this. "We won't be having lunch in the palace either."
"Is Your Majesty in a good mood today?" Ren Baqian laughed.
"I'm fine. It's just that I'm a little bored!" the Water Empress said lightly.
"Your Majesty should go out and walk more. Reading ten thousand books is not as good as walking ten thousand miles!" In ancient times, the emperor of China was restricted from leaving the palace and had to make arrangements two months in advance. And when he left the palace in private, he had to worry about assassinations and danger.
However, this wasn't a problem for the empress.
There were no restrictions on the empress leaving the palace, and she was one of the top experts in the world.
However, the empress preferred to stay in the palace most of the time.
In modern terms, she was purely a homebody. It was rare for her to suggest leaving the palace for a stroll, and Ren Baqian was naturally happy to accompany her.
Ren Baqian returned to Pingle Park and changed into an ordinary set of clothes. When he arrived at the empress's quarters, he realized that she was still wearing the red muslin dress that she had previously worn.
"Your Majesty, it's too easy to recognize you like this. You don't want to be recognized everywhere, right?" Ren Baqian asked.
"Why? There aren't many people who can recognize me, "the empress retorted.
"Not to mention Your Majesty's appearance, just Your Majesty's aura alone is not something that ordinary people can compare to. Even those who have not seen Your Majesty before can sense it. Moreover, there are many people in the city who have seen Your Majesty before. As long as they see you once, they will definitely not forget you.
In addition, I'm by your side … I'm afraid that many people will think that the two of them are walking together. "Ren Baqian laughed.
The empress frowned and thought about it. Sure enough, it was easy to be recognized with Ren Baqian by her side. She looked at him and said, "That's your fault!"
Ren Baqian shrugged.
"I don't want to change my clothes!" The empress was a little worried. In Ren Baqian's eyes, the frown on her face because she didn't want to change her clothes was a little cute.
"Your Majesty …" Ren Baqian thought for a while and remembered that there was an ancient question and answer that was very suitable for this situation.
The ancients said, "When naked, should you cover your upper body or lower body?"
Answer: My face is blocked!
"I'll cover my face then!" Ren Baqian spread his hands again.
The empress originally thought that he would have some good suggestions, but she didn't expect him to actually give such a constructive suggestion!
"I'm serious!" the empress repeated earnestly.
"I'm serious as well!" Ren Baqian asked, "Is there any other way?"
The empress thought about it seriously. It seemed that there was really no better way …
A moment later, the empress appeared in a red muslin dress with a white undergarment underneath. Her face was covered with a red scarf.
On the other hand, Ren Baqian was wearing a green robe with a black cloth covering his face.
The two of them swaggered out of the palace.
The guards behind them looked like they wanted to laugh, but at the same time, they didn't want to.
"I feel that this is very silly!" the empress couldn't help but say. "I'm really out of my mind today. I actually believed your nonsense!"
"When I get back, I'll order two sets of clothes. One set will have 'female' written on the chest and 'big' written on the back. The other set will have 'male' written on the chest and 'thief' written on the back.
"Pfft!" The empress spat.
The two of them strolled through Beihong District, attracting countless gazes.
After all, with their attire, it was hard not to attract attention.
"I remember eating here when I was young, and the taste was pretty good!" the empress said as she looked up at the signboard when they walked past a restaurant.
"Do you want to go up and try it? I haven't had lunch yet! "Ren Baqian stopped and looked up, only to see the words" Shanhuai Restaurant. "
If he remembered correctly, this restaurant seemed to be a place that the children of the officials liked to hang out.
He wondered if the empress would put on a thrilling show when she went up there!
The empress really had this idea. She immediately nodded after hearing Ren Baqian's words and said, "Alright."
Seeing the empress nod, Ren Baqian immediately became excited. He was waiting to see who would be unlucky. He pulled the empress into the restaurant and headed for the second floor.
"Customer!" A burly waiter with a face that looked more like a bandit than a waiter immediately tried to stop the two of them.
Are we not allowed to go up to the second floor? "Ren Baqian asked, wondering why the show was about to start so soon.
"Of course not. It's just that there are too many people on the second floor and it's a little noisy. It's fine if the two of you want to go up." The fierce-looking waiter waved his hand and sounded simple and honest.
Those who could wear gauze in Lan City weren't ordinary people. Those who could work as waiters here were definitely not fools. How could they not be tactful?
"It's fine. We like it when there are more people. The livelier it is!" Ren Baqian said.
Ren Baqian pulled the empress all the way up to the second floor and saw that there were indeed many people there. Ren Baqian could even recognize a few of them.
Hong Wu's granddaughter, Hong Xian, Liu Ruoyao, and Du Changkong's two cousins were actually there.
Ren Baqian even saw two students from his school. One was Du Laoliu, and the other was Xu Peng. They were both children of the officials, but their talents were worlds apart when compared to others.
Ren Baqian and the empress attracted some attention when they came up. They were puzzled. Weren't the two of them hot to cover their faces on such a hot day? However, when they sensed that the two of them were Man Wheel experts, they immediately turned their attention elsewhere and ignored them.
Ren Baqian pulled the empress to a corner and sat down. He found that the people at Du Laoliu's table seemed to be arguing about something.
"Du Laoliu, you have been in that school for a year. What have you learned? Teach me? Maybe I can even call you Mister! Mister Du! I heard that's how the people in Great Xia address scholars! "a young man laughed.
"Hmph!" Du Laoliu snorted and couldn't be bothered with him.
On the contrary, Xu Peng was somewhat dissatisfied and asked, "Tu Yu, what's the meaning of this? Are you here to look for trouble? "
"How can that be? I'm envious. After all, there are so many people here, but only a few of you were selected to study at the school. It's obvious that you are different from us! You are scholars, and I want to study too! "the young man called Tu Yu, who was about 16 or 17 years old, said in a weird tone.
His words caused a lot of laughter.
Everyone knew that those who were selected to study at the school were useless.
"Stop talking nonsense in a weird tone!" Xu Peng slammed the table angrily.
"Why are you so impatient? I was just saying it casually. However, don't tell me that you didn't learn anything after staying there for a year? Otherwise, you can enlighten us! "
"You want to learn? Go to the school and listen, but with your brain, you can't even add or subtract single-digit numbers. I'm afraid that you won't understand even if you go. "Du Laoliu couldn't help but sneer.
"That's why I asked you to tell us, right?" Tu Yu didn't take it seriously and smiled at the others instead.
"What's there to talk about with you? Do you know chemistry? Do you know physics? Do you know what a lever is? Do you know what an internal combustion engine is? Look, you don't even know what I'm talking about. What's the point of me telling you? Have you heard of playing the lute to a cow? "Du Laoliu sneered.
