After traveling through time, I became the aunt of the loyal dog emperor

"Hurry up, you'll miss a good spot if you don't go out now." Tang Xiaoyou stood at the door of Liu Qingquan with his hands on his hips, urging him inside anxiously.

But after waiting for a long time, there was still no movement from inside. Xiaoyou was a little impatient and raised his hand to knock on the door vigorously. At this time, Liu Qingquan in the house opened the door from the inside. He looked haggard, with some vicissitudes in his features. His hands drooped naturally and asked in frustration: "Can we not go?"

"No!" The straightforward rejection completely destroyed his last fantasy. Xiaoyou added: "Aren't you usually very quick in your movements? Why are you dilly-dallying today? Don't you have any interest in this once-in-a-century excitement?"

No, of course he didn't! If he hadn't lost the bet to Tang Xiaoyou, he would never have gone out to join in the fun today. It would be better to lock himself in the room for peace and quiet, pretending that nothing had happened.

"I admit defeat. Let's go." Liu Qingquan turned around and closed the door. Since it was unavoidable, it would be better to do it quickly. He turned around and took Tang Xiaoyou and walked out in big strides.

"Grandma! We won't be back for lunch." Tang Xiaoyou shouted at his grandmother in the kitchen, and then angrily scolded Liu Qingquan who was about to fall behind: "Are you crazy? You didn't want to go out just now, and now you're walking so fast! Slow down, wait for me."

The excitement they were talking about was the schedule of the beautiful men and women entering the palace today. The palace announced early in the morning that on the 16th day of the first lunar month, all the young masters and young ladies who participated in the selection, whether they were young masters or young ladies from far away, would be led by officials on this day, either riding tall horses or riding in special sedan chairs, and parade in a team along the main road of Nanye City. At that time, all the people could go to the designated area to watch the excitement and see the honor of the queen, the prince consort, and the children of the rich and powerful.

Tang Xiaoyou was already very excited and suggested that Liu Qingquan accompany him to watch it, but no matter what he said, he refused, and there was no reason for him not to go. When he asked again, Liu Qingquan said something "bad" and asked back: "Why, do you also want to ride in a sedan chair to participate in the talent show?"

Although she was angry, Tang Xiaoyou still let him go generously and proposed to make a bet. If she won, Liu Qingquan had to accompany her; if she lost, she didn't need him to accompany her and could promise him one thing. This naive Liu Qingquan bet that Tang Xiaoyou could catch the rabbit on the mountain. She depended on her grandmother for life, so catching a rabbit was easy.

The two of them went out playing and joking. Liu Qingquan subconsciously looked around and saw the sedan chair of Prince Qi's Mansion passing by the alley. He was surprised: "Why is the sedan chair of Prince Qi's Mansion here? No, it's a new sedan chair, not Princess Yan Ke's. There is no one else in Prince Qi's Mansion, who could it be?"

The sedan flashed past the entrance of the alley, and Liu Qingquan had no time to catch up. At this time, Tang Xiaoyou was arranging her new skirt in front of him and reminded him, "What are you thinking about? Let's go!"

Liu Qingquan turned around and glanced at Tang Xiaoyou. He was thinking about what had just happened and didn't realize that she was different. He reminded her, "Let's go." Then he walked forward on his own.

"Hey!" Tang Xiaoyou was a little disappointed. She shouted at Liu Qingquan's back. When she saw him turn around, she continued, "Didn't you notice anything different about me today?"

Liu Qingquan looked him up and down and shook his head: "No! Are you going yet? If you don't go now, you really won't be able to catch up with the good seats."

Tang Xiaoyou walked towards him angrily. When passing by Liu Qingquan, he patted him on the back and said loudly and unhappily: "Let's go!"

Liu Qingquan realized that something was wrong with her, but he couldn't figure out how he had offended her. He shook his head helplessly and chased after her.

The two of them arrived at the market. Although there was still a lot of time before the parade began, the roads were already crowded with people. Without waiting for Tang Xiaoyou to complain about being late, Liu Qingquan began to observe on his own, looking for the place with the least people. Hey, he really found it. Because there was a stone statue blocking the view, part of the view was blocked, so everyone tried to go to other places as much as possible.

"There are so many people..." Xiaoyou just started to sigh when he was interrupted by Liu Qingquan.

He pulled Xiaoyou's sleeve, waved his hand and said, "Stop talking, come with me." Then he took Tang Xiaoyou to the back of the stone statue, but because Xiaoyou was not tall, she could not see anything behind the statue. She frowned and asked, "Is this the place you found for me? I can't see anything!"

Liu Qingquan said nothing, patted the protruding part of the abandoned statue, and said: "Why don't you just stand here? You are usually very smart, how come you can't even see such an obvious thing!"

"You!" Tang Xiaoyou was about to say something in rebuttal, but was suddenly interrupted by the sound of music from afar. Then a noise broke out in the crowd, and the people around stretched their necks to look in the direction of the city gate. Tang Xiaoyou didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly climbed onto the platform of the abandoned stone statue, hooked his fingers in the cracks of the stone, and looked through with difficulty.

The music was getting closer and closer, and gradually mixed with the crisp sound of horseshoes hitting the stone slabs. With the commotion and shouting of the surrounding crowd, the parade appeared. The leader was Fu Yuanlang, who was famous for his role in the Liu Xueyu case. Mr. Fu rode a tall horse, dressed in brocade clothes, wearing an official hat, and looked solemn. His upright body swayed regularly with the movement of the horse, accompanied by the cheers of the surrounding crowd, which was really enviable.

Liu Qingquan looked up at Master Fu, then down at himself, and an idea naturally came to his mind: "If I become an official one day, will I also be able to be so proud? By then, who will look down on me and laugh at me for being an unwanted illegitimate child?"

Following Fu Yuanlang were three other men wearing official uniforms and riding horses. Judging from the decorations on their clothes, they were both civil and military officials, and all of them were in high spirits. One of them in particular was different from the others in terms of demeanor, appearance, and posture. He stood out a lot and made people unable to look away.

"Look, that one is very handsome." Tang Xiaoyou lowered his head and talked to him.

"Be careful, don't fall." Liu Qingquan took a step forward and opened his arms to protect her from behind, adding: "If you get hurt, grandma will blame me!"

"I know, I know. He's out, the young master who participated in the talent show is out!" Tang Xiaoyou looked at him excitedly.

The young masters participating in the draft were dressed in their own unique styles. Whether it was the horses they were riding or the clothes and accessories they were wearing, they were all prepared by themselves. In order to show their strength, they all tried their best. It goes without saying that they were dressed gorgeously, but each of them had their own wealth and pride. The "competition for beauty" between men was probably more intense than that between women, and when they waved their hands, the crowd burst into cheers again and again.

"They're out. The beauties participating in the talent show are out." Tang Xiaoyou lowered his head and reported the progress to Liu Qingquan.

Unlike the men, these ladies rode in sedan chairs that were prepared in advance. The sedan chairs were surrounded by bead curtains and draperies that swung back and forth as the sedan chairs moved, adding a lot of fun. Compared to the arrogance of the men, the ladies were more reserved and self-respecting. They waved to the people crowded on both sides through the faint bead curtains.

The sedan representing Prince Qi's Mansion was the first to go, followed by the bride's sedan representing the Du Mansion, and so on. Even though it was covered, everyone was still impressed by the beauty of the showgirl. Tang Xiaoyou was so excited that she had to tiptoe on the statue to see more, and she almost fell down due to a moment of instability.

Fortunately, Liu Qingquan was quick to lift her up by holding her legs. Perhaps because of the strange posture, people nearby looked at her sideways. At this time, the sedan chair of the Du Mansion happened to pass by here. The lady sitting inside clearly saw this scene. She stopped waving her hand for half a second and even her expression was a little dull.

But she reacted quickly, put on a brighter and more dignified smile, and waved vigorously to the crowds on both sides.
