Time travel is risky, and love requires caution
Chapter 39 Is This Heroine Just a Show on the Outside?
Today is the day when the seventh princess can leave the palace.
As soon as she walked out of the palace, she saw Beiyi Hou waiting for her.
Ling Qiqi was unhappy: Are you here to block me at the door of my house?
Beiyi Hou came forward and said happily:
"I know you are leaving the palace today, so I am waiting for you here."
"What do you want from me?"
"My brother sent me a cart of sheep two days ago. Come to my house early at noon and we will roast a whole sheep for dinner."
Ling Qiqi turned from annoyance to joy and asked:
"Is there any wine?"
"Have."
"Okay, I'll go buy some things first and then I'll go."
Ling Qiqi couldn't resist the temptation of the roasted whole lamb. She was very motivated the whole morning for this lunch.
This time, Ling Qiqi did not shake off the guards, but took them to South Gate Street.
Today, this street is no longer the lukewarm one it once was. There are many shops along the street and people are coming and going on the street. In just a few years, it has developed into the CBD of Beijing.
Of course, without being modest, all this is thanks to Yuehualou and to Ling Qiqi.
The entertainment industry not only enriches people's leisure life, but also stimulates consumption to a great extent, thus driving the industrial upgrading and economic growth of this street.
Nowadays, the land and housing prices on this street have skyrocketed. Fortunately, Lu Cheng had the foresight to buy five shops next to the theater. Now the rent of these five shops is the highest in the whole capital.
Although they kept three shops for themselves, the rent from the other two over the past few years has already recovered the cost of buying the deeds to the five shops, which shows how fast housing prices have risen.
There are countless businesses relying on Yuehualou. In addition to some "high-end" ready-made clothing and jewelry stores that can only imitate but not surpass them, there are also spice shops, rouge shops, musical instrument shops, calligraphy and painting shops, teahouses, wine shops, and restaurants. Some suppliers to Yuehualou also opened shops on this street, including dried fruit shops, fabric shops, jade shops, and furniture shops. There are even dental insurance shops that specialize in talent intermediary business, and foot delivery shops that run errands and deliver goods on behalf of others.
Ling Qiqi and two or three guards were strolling leisurely on the street. They had all changed their clothes, and this time Ling Qiqi changed into men's clothes. They looked like a rich young master and guards. But Ling Qiqi's appearance was high, and even after changing into men's clothes, her appearance did not diminish at all. People who didn't know her would think she was a popular young actor from Yuehua Building, so she attracted a lot of attention.
Ling Qiqi visited each store one by one, and when she saw something she liked, she bought some and asked the guards to take it.
Thinking it was about time, she headed towards Beiyihou Mansion.
When she was almost at the Marquis' Mansion, she smelled the aroma of roasted lamb, perhaps it was a psychological effect, and her pace quickened unconsciously.
Young Marquis Yi was in the backyard watching the servants roasting lamb busily. He heard the servants come to report that the Seventh Princess had arrived. He did not expect her to come so early, so he hurried to the front to greet her.
He originally wanted to invite the Seventh Princess to drink tea and chat in the courtyard first, and then move to the dining hall after the lamb was roasted. But the Seventh Princess heard that the lamb was still being roasted, and she was so excited that she insisted on going to supervise and guide it herself. Young Marquis Yi couldn't persuade her, so he had to follow her wishes and took her to the backyard.
The Seventh Princess saw the whole lamb on the grill and asked with a drooling mouth:
"Is that enough for both of us?"
"Ah? I even asked someone to invite the Sixth Prince, but he said he might arrive a little late, so he asked you to wait until he arrives..."
"No need to wait for him, let's eat first."
"Ah? But the Sixth Prince told you to wait until he comes before eating."
"Then let's eat while we wait."
Young Marquis Yi thought to himself: Isn't this a different matter?
He originally thought that the Seventh Princess was just in a whim, and that her delicate skin and tender flesh could not stand the smoke and fire, so she would give up soon. Unexpectedly, the Seventh Princess asked him to put the dining table directly next to the grill, and asked him to dismiss the servants. She moved a chair and sat next to the grill, holding the grill with one hand and holding a knife with the other, and ate the mutton that was already roasted on the outside.
Fortunately, Ling Qiqi was wearing men's clothes today, so she looked unrestrained and uninhibited. Otherwise, no one would have thought that a princess would be so greedy over a whole roasted lamb.
Young Marquis Yi looked at the Seventh Princess who was being tortured with roasted lamb, and repeatedly hypnotized himself in his mind: He was ignorant and thought that princesses were all dignified and reserved. In fact, they were just pretending to be dignified for outsiders to see. Now her appearance and behavior were the most real. It seemed that the Seventh Princess did not regard herself as an outsider and did not pretend.
At this moment, a servant suddenly came to report that someone had delivered a cart of wine and drinks to the gate.
Ling Qiqi heard this and quickly said:
"I bought it. Let them move here directly."
After Young Marquis Yi instructed his servants to follow the Seventh Princess' instructions, he asked Ling Qiqi:
"You bought some wine? And a whole car?"
Ling Qiqi ate meat without interrupting her conversation, and replied:
"Well, I didn't know which one tasted better, so I bought two jars and tried both."
Young Marquis Yi thought to himself, how much can the Seventh Princess drink that she actually discussed buying a car on the forum.
The wine was carried to the backyard in jars, and the Seventh Princess asked someone to get large bowls. Such boldness really shocked the young Marquis Yi.
He had followed his father and brothers in military drills and inspections since he was a child, and had attended many military banquets. At that time, everyone was drinking from bowls with great enthusiasm, just like the Seventh Princess, who was holding a wine jar and pouring wine into a bowl at this moment.
Maybe the Seventh Princess didn't often drink like this. She was not very skilled at pouring the wine, and most of the wine spilled out of the bowl. She tried several times and it happened every time.
With Ling Qiqi's explosive temper, she would not be able to endure it, so she simply skipped the difficult step that was a waste of time and wine, and directly used herself as the container, holding the jar of wine as big as her head and drinking it.
Young Marquis Yi watched the Seventh Princess drinking from a wine jar that was bigger than her head, and three words suddenly came to his mind: heroine.
Young Marquis Yi accompanied the Seventh Princess in cutting meat with a big knife and filling large jars with wine, but after a while, he discovered a problem.
Is this heroine just a show-off? She doesn't seem to be able to drink much.
In fact, at this moment, Ling Qiqi felt a little regretful and her head was a little dizzy.
Ling Qiqi herself didn't know what her alcohol tolerance was. To her, no matter what kind of alcohol it was, there was no difference between a sip and a bottle. The main symptoms were talking too much, laughing foolishly, and blushing. But she hadn't yet personally tested how much alcohol was needed to make her vomit or black out. She often told people in a matter-of-fact way that she had never been drunk, but she didn't expect this sentence to have a magical effect. People interpreted it as her huge alcohol tolerance, and no one dared to compete with her, so she could just do whatever she wanted.
The main reason is that she has always felt that drinking is for fun and atmosphere, and there is no need to make oneself embarrassed. Since there is no difference between drinking one sip and drinking a bottle, there is no need to drink a bottle. It is not like the wine is free to buy.
She had tasted the wine of this era before. It was naturally fermented, not distilled, and had no chemical additives. It had a low alcohol content, similar to beer. She could usually drink one or two bottles of beer, but today she was careless and the aftereffect of this wine was much stronger than beer.
She didn't know whether it was because of the alcohol or the charcoal fire, but she felt so hot all over. She just wanted to get up and get away from the fire, but her feet were tangled and she stumbled and fell to the ground.
Young Marquis Yi discovered it in time, and fearing that she would fall into the fire and burn herself, he quickly stood up and took a big step forward to pull her. As a result, he used too much force, and they both rolled to the ground. Fortunately, they did not roll towards the brazier, but knocked over several jars of wine that were stacked together. One of the jars of wine splashed right onto the fire, pouring wine on the fire, and the flames jumped high.
