After traveling to ancient times, I relied on my husband to win

"Brother Qin is really not modest?"

"Hey, it's all about strength, there's no point in being modest." As Qin Yan said this, he lifted his bangs and raised his eyebrows to show off.

"Come on you."

……

The boys started bragging and teasing each other.

The girls were also talking, drinking and tasting the dishes.

Li Qingyang took a bite of the dish and found it delicious, so he tried the other dishes as well.

"Delicious, delicious. Although it can't compare to the ones in the palace, it tastes delicious too. Come and try it."

"Is it true? Let me try it. Wow, it's delicious." Cheng Ziyan didn't believe it. She was captivated after taking a bite.

Li Qingyang: "Is that right?"

Cheng Ziyan: "Mmm, it's delicious. That one is delicious too. Sister Azhi, Sister Bing, Sister Yuetong, you guys should try it too. It's super delicious."

Jiang Zhi looked at Cheng Ziyan lovingly and smiled, "Okay, let me try what delicious food our princess and sister Ziyan like so much."

"Yeah, it's really delicious."

……

Along with the singing and dancing on the stage, people who were eating and drinking here also started to have fun.

Sometimes he looks at the young lady playing dice, sometimes at the young man practicing calligraphy and painting, and then he looks at the beautiful sister playing the piano and dancing.

Chen Yuetong sat in a quiet corner. Although she was in frequent contact with the music club and had never played here, she still felt familiar with it.

She just quietly watched Li Qingyang and Cheng Ziyan running around in the crowd, with a smile in her eyes, and felt that everything in front of her was very vivid.

At this time, Li Chengze came over and sat next to her. He saw the same scene as her, but still asked with a smile: "Miss Chen, why are you sitting here alone? Aren't you playing with them?"

Chen Yuetong smiled and shook her head, "No, I don't like to participate in such a lively atmosphere. It's good to just watch. Isn't it interesting?"

Li Chengze was distracted by the smile on the face of the person in front of him, and laughed softly, "Yes, they are all very lively."

The two looked at each other in silence, watching the noisy scene together.

Li Chengze looked at it for a while, then took out the sachet he carried with him from his chest.

He stretched it out in front of Chen Yuetong, and asked gently but with certainty, "Is this what Miss Chen did?"

Chen Yuetong was quite surprised when she saw it. She took it in her hand and looked at it carefully, as if she was lost in memories.

"Yes, I saw the girls in the music hall staying in this smoky place all year round. Some of them were in poor health, so I wanted to help them. Although I can't save them, wearing this is also nourishing and good for the body. But, how did His Royal Highness get it?"

Chen Yuetong was recalling with her head down, but she finally raised her head and asked Li Chengze. After she finished speaking, she put the sachet in Li Chengze's hand.

Suddenly, Li Chengze looked away in panic. He had been staring at the person in front of him, deeply attracted by her kindness, but when he saw her clear eyes, it seemed that his thoughts had nowhere to hide.

Li Chengze coughed twice and said, "It's nothing. I just got it by chance. I heard from the people in the music house that Miss Chen had sent it to the moon house. That's why I asked. I didn't mean to offend you."

Chen Yuetong didn't care. She looked at Li Chengze with curved eyes, "It's okay, Your Highness. This is not something that cannot be told to others. Your Highness doesn't need to care."

However, Chen Yuetong accidentally saw Li Chengze's red ears and thought it was cute. She didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would have red ears.

Chen Yuetong chuckled, and under Li Chengze's puzzled look, she turned her head to look at the lively crowd.

Li Chengze looked at Chen Yuetong's profile, his eyes revealing a hint of affection and sweetness, and he watched the noisy crowd side by side with her.

……

Li Qingyang and Cheng Ziyan had a thorough tour of the music hall. There were not only a few guests here, but also many talented men and beautiful women who came to the music hall to play chess, recite poems, and chat and laugh with the people there, as if they were close friends.

The two of them looked at everyone and took a look around, finally satisfying their curiosity about the music hall.

Now he was sitting together with Cheng Ziang, who was drinking some strong liquor, which he had bought from the tavern with two taels of silver he had given to the waiter.

He was drinking when the little princess who usually argued with him suddenly sat next to him. It was very strange.

Cheng Ziang drank a glass of wine and asked, "Why don't you go out and have fun? Why are you coming to my place?"

Li Qingyang found a place to sit, holding a pear blossom incense in his hand, "I can't find you, and besides, we have known each other for a long time. I have been listening to you talk about the military camp. I am curious, tell me about it."

Cheng Ziang looked at her strangely, "How could a princess like you like to hear about military camp matters?"

Li Qingyang's happiness faded a lot, and he felt a little sad. He tilted his head back and drank from the small jar of wine that smelled of pear blossoms.

"I know that the grassland princes are here to marry me. I am the only princess in the entire royal family. The grassland barbarians have been in the capital for a long time. When they leave soon, they will come to ask for my hand in marriage. I just don't know whether it will be for their men or the princes. By then, I will have to leave the capital and Dongwu. I want to know more about the scenery I have never seen and keep some memories of it."

"But I really can't bear to leave this place. Here I have my loving father and grandfather, my strict but coaxing mother and concubine, my brother and you. This is my home and my country. But for my family and my country, I have no choice but to leave."

Cheng Ziang stared blankly at Li Qingyang drinking sadly, confessing his inner feelings, with silent tears streaming down his face and his voice choked with sobs.

Cheng Ziang's hand, which wanted to comfort her, stopped in mid-air. He had no position.

He could only withdraw his hand in disappointment and hand her a handkerchief and his own wine.

He didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only talk about his own experiences and tell her stories.

"Don't cry. Come on, try my wine. This is the wine I often drink in the military camp. It's not only strong but also tasty."

Li Qingyang wiped her tears, calmed down, and stopped thinking about it. Seeing Cheng Ziang's happy expression, she took the wine he handed over and took a sip. The wine was so spicy that she coughed and her eyes were red.

He complained: "Ahem, ahem, your wine is so spicy, it's almost choking me to death."

Cheng Ziang was amused by the tears in her red eyes.

"Hahaha, this wine has to be strong and spicy enough. We are always on the march and fighting outside. It's okay in the summer, but in the winter, we rely on this wine to save our lives."

Li Qingyang was very engaged when he heard him talking about the marching and fighting in the military camp, "Can it still save lives?"

Cheng Ziang took another sip of wine, "Yes, help. When we were lying in ambush outside in the winter, our clothes were soaked by the snow. When the cold wind blew, many of our soldiers froze to death in the snow. But it was this wine that kept us alive. In the snow, even though our clothes were soaked, we only needed to drink a few sips of strong liquor to heat up our bodies, which kept us going for quite a while and saved our lives."

As Cheng Ziang was talking, he leaned back, against the pillar, and looked up, as if he had returned to that bitterly cold winter and to the ambush that day.
