As she walked up the stairs, someone was already coming down. When Zheng Sisi reached the first floor, she saw the shopkeeper and greeted him, "Good morning, shopkeeper!"

The shopkeeper said, "Good morning, would you like some breakfast? You may not be able to buy breakfast on the street at this time of day."

Zheng Sisi was stunned for a moment, then thought that it might be because there were too many people, so she said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper asked the waiter to bring over a breakfast, which was a bowl of porridge and two big buns.

Zheng Sisi found a table and sat down. The porridge was very fragrant and the buns were filled with meat. Zheng Sisi finished her breakfast quickly.

"Thank you, shopkeeper. Please put the meal expenses on my account!" Zheng Sisi remembered the shopkeeper's kindness.

The shopkeeper said, "Okay, don't push too far to the front, it's easy to get squeezed out. Falling is a small matter, but being misunderstood and arrested is troublesome."

Zheng Sisi nodded: "Thank you for the reminder, I'll leave first."

After leaving the inn, Zheng Sisi followed the crowd and walked forward, turning a corner and arriving at the main street.

The streets were already packed with people, and it seemed difficult to squeeze in.

Zheng Sisi looked around to see if the shops on both sides were open. Walking along the wall of shops, she passed by a shop full of tables and chairs, which should be a restaurant or teahouse.

Zheng Sisi looked up and saw a teahouse. She walked in and saw a waiter sweeping the floor, so she asked, "Brother Xiaoer, do you have any private rooms by the window upstairs?

The waiter looked up and saw that it was a young man. He asked in surprise, "Young man, do you want a private room now? But we haven't opened yet, and it's not time for tea yet."

Zheng Sisi: "It's okay, I have time, I can wait and drink slowly."

The waiter said, "Okay, I'll take you upstairs."

Then the waiter led the way and went to the second floor.

Zheng Sisi asked curiously, "Little Brother, today is such a nice day, why haven't you booked the private room yet?"

"Young master, you may not know that the private rooms in our restaurant are still very popular. Usually, those who make reservations are high-ranking officials and young men and women from various mansions. But today the Emperor is going to pray, and all officials above the fifth rank must go, and they must bring their families. So today... hehe!" said the waiter with a smile.

Zheng Sisi said, "I see. Then please help me find a box by the window where I can see the street below."

The waiter stopped at the door of a private room, pushed open the door and invited Zheng Sisi in.

"Sir, what kind of tea would you like? I'll go prepare it. It may take a while, as I need to boil water first."

"Oh, let's have a pot of Biluochun and a plate of dim sum," said Zheng Sisi.

The waiter said, "Okay, please wait a moment." He turned around and went downstairs.

Zheng Sisi came to the window and pushed it with her hand. The window was pushed outwards. There was a wooden stick next to it. Zheng Sisi picked it up and supported the window leaf.

I saw a crowd of people downstairs, two dark lines extending to both ends, with no end in sight.

The middle of the street was left spacious, with soldiers standing neatly on both sides, holding spears in their hands, standing straight with serious expressions.

If people were pushed onto the street because of the crowds, the soldiers would point their rifles at them, give them a serious warning, and also say that if they continued to crowd, they would all be arrested and put in jail.

The deterrence was very effective, and the crowded people became much more obedient.

It might be too early, and the emperor's team had not come out yet, but everyone was looking around with great interest.

After waiting for more than a quarter of an hour, I saw a soldier walking down the street with a gong in his hand. He struck it every few steps and then said, "The Emperor and Empress have left the palace. May all the people pray for their blessings!"

"The Emperor and Empress leave the palace, and the people pray for their blessings!"

"The Emperor and Empress leave the palace, and the people pray for their blessings!"
