Scumbag God, I can see the entry of desire.

That night, the emperor's palace in Shanghai was brightly lit with candles, and the palace lanterns hanging in the corridors illuminated the courtyard as if it were daytime.

Helan Minyue had just taken off her hairpins and rings when she saw her personal maid Xiao Cui walk in lightly. She said with a cheerful look on her face, "The Empress has sent someone to ask if you've rested. If you're still awake, she'll come and serve you in bed."

Upon hearing this, Helan Minyue clenched the corner of her clothes with her fingertips, her cheeks flushed, and even her ears were dyed pink.

Unable to conceal her happiness, she smiled sweetly and said, "Isn't the Queen going to sleep with you tonight?"

Xiao Cui replied, "The Empress, considering that Your Majesty had just married and had been separated for three days, wanted to give Your Majesty the opportunity to sleep with Your Majesty."

"I didn't expect that the Queen of Shanghai is so considerate." Helan Minyue said, with a soft light in her eyes, and her face, which was a little shy before, now showed a bit of genuine joy.

Xiao Cui smiled and said, "That's right, the Queen is very kind. Please go quickly, His Majesty must be waiting anxiously."

Helan Minyue nodded lightly and said "hmm", her voice as thin as a mosquito's hum, and her fingertips trembled slightly when she loosened the corner of her clothes.

She followed her maid Xiao Cui out. The palace lanterns in the corridor cast a shadow on her figure, and even her steps seemed a little brisk.

The wind under the corridor brought the coolness of the night dew, but it could not blow away the heat in Helan Minyue's heart.

When she passed through the moon-shaped gate, she saw Lin Lang's pacing figure printed on the window paper of his bedroom from afar. Her heart suddenly rose to her throat, and she felt both excited and nervous.

When she reached the palace gate, Xiao Cui tactfully stopped.

Helan Minyue took a deep breath, pushed the door open, and just as she closed the door behind her, her wrist was grabbed by a strong force, and she staggered and fell into a warm embrace.

"My beloved, I have finally seen you. I have been missing you so much these three days." Lin Lang's voice was slightly hoarse from drinking. He rested his chin on the top of Helan Minyue's head, holding her tightly with a familiar breath.

Helan Minyue's heart seemed to be soaked in honey. The worries she had in the Buddhist temple and the excitement when she saw Lin Lang all turned into soft affection at this moment.

She raised her arms and wrapped them around Lin Lang's waist, burying her face in his chest. Her voice was a little tearful, yet it also contained uncontrollable joy: "Your Majesty, I miss you too... For the past three days, I have been praying to the Buddha every moment for your safe return."

Lin Lang let go of Helan Minyue a little, holding her face and looking at her. Seeing that the corners of her eyes were still a little red, he couldn't help but lower his head and kissed her forehead: "I'm sorry for making you worry. It's my fault."

"I don't blame Your Majesty." Helan Minyue shook her head, stood on tiptoe, and took the initiative to press a light kiss on Lin Lang's lips. She quickly dodged like a frightened little rabbit, but her cheeks became even redder.

Lin Lang looked at Helan Minyue's shy appearance, and his heart warmed, but he asked: "My beloved, can I trust you?"

Helan Minyue was stunned when she heard this, then tears welled up in her eyes. She tightly grasped Lin Lang's sleeves with both hands, and her tone was a little anxious and serious.

"Why did your Majesty say this?"

"Since I have married Your Majesty, my heart is entirely with Your Majesty."

"For the past three days, I have been praying before the Buddha, not only for Your Majesty's safety, but also for our long and lasting companionship."

"If Your Majesty does not believe me, you can ask the heavens and the earth, and ask the three volumes of Buddhist scriptures that I have copied. Is there a single word that does not express the hope of sharing the same aspirations with Your Majesty?"

As Helan Minyue spoke, tears began to fall, dripping onto the back of Lin Lang's hand, which was very hot.

"Although my marriage was arranged by the royal family, ever since I met Your Majesty, my heart has been filled with no room for anyone else. During the three days Your Majesty was away on the expedition, I have lost my appetite and have been unable to sleep, hoping only for Your Majesty's safe return... If Your Majesty still doesn't believe me, I..."

Seeing Helan Minyue's eyes red with anxiety, Lin Lang quickly reached out to wipe away her tears and softened his tone: "I was wrong, my beloved concubine, please don't cry."

Helan Minyue rubbed her body against Lin Lang's chest, wiping her tears on his clothes, and muttered with a bit of grievance: "Then your majesty is not allowed to say such things in the future."

"Okay, I won't say anymore." Lin Lang responded with a smile, lowered his head and took a deep breath into Helan Minyue's hair. The familiar fragrance dispelled the hostility he brought back from the Tingzhou battlefield.

"My beloved, I want to confirm whether you and your husband are of the same mind. I want to take you back to Shanghai to play now."

Helan Minyue's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she said expectantly, "Really? But the journey to Shanghai is long. Your Majesty, will you take me away without saying goodbye to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty?"

Lin Lang lied, "You forgot that I have the Ghost Seal that can command the ghost soldiers. It allows us to travel through time and space like the wind, and travel thousands of miles at night as if walking on flat ground. We only need to hold the seal and give orders, and we can reach Shanghai in an instant. When we are tired, we can go back to the Tang Mansion to rest."

Helan Minyue believed it and replied happily, "Okay, I'm very curious about everything in Shanghai. If I can come and go freely as Your Majesty said, then let's set off now."

Lin Lang hugged Helan Minyue tightly, triggering the skill [Space-Time Global Group Transmission]. Helan Minyue felt dizzy and had a strong sense of weightlessness, with the sound of whistling wind in his ears.

When she opened her eyes again, she saw a completely different scene.

"call out--"

The moment Helan Minyue traveled back to the year 2000 in Hai City, she was so shocked by the magnificent skyscrapers in front of her that she held her breath.

"Your Majesty! What kind of building is this? It soars into the clouds, reaching straight into the sky!"

Helan Minyue tilted her head back, her pearl hairpin swaying gently with her movements. Her tone was full of disbelief and amazement, and her slender hands unconsciously clenched Lin Lang's sleeves.

"Not to mention the palaces in Chang'an, even the legendary Heavenly Palace wouldn't be as magnificent as this, right?"

Lin Lang smiled and put his arm around Helan Minyue's shoulders: "This is called a high-rise building. It's where the people of Shanghai live and work."

Helan Minyue was watching intently when she caught a glimpse of the vehicles passing through the parking lot from the corner of her eye. She was immediately drawn to the sight and pointed at the steel creations in astonishment.

"Your Majesty, look! What are those things? Each one has four wheels and runs faster than a horse!"

"This is called a car," Lin Lang couldn't help laughing. "Look, once the four wheels turn, it can carry people around. It's more stable than a horse-drawn carriage and much faster."

Helan Minyue moved closer and watched a car drive by. The headlights cut through the night. She took a step back in shock. "Wow! This car can actually glow! Could it be some kind of spirit?"

"Those are car headlights," Lin Lang explained. "They're powered by electricity and can illuminate the road at night. They're not magical."

"Electricity?" She nodded, not quite understanding. Just as she was about to ask again, she saw Lin Lang take out a small object from his arms and press it lightly. In the parking space of the Wheatfield Music and Film Company parking lot not far away, Lin Lang's Ferrari convertible sports car was unlocked, the headlights came on, and the convertible slowly opened.

Helan Minyue covered her mouth in shock, her eyes wide open. "Your Majesty! This car can actually transform? Could it be some strange beast?"

Lin Lang walked forward and opened the passenger door, a smile in his eyes: "My beloved, please get in the car. I will take you for a ride on the bustling streets of Shanghai."

Helan Minyue sat in tremblingly, her skirt carefully gathered around her legs. She looked at the interior of the Ferrari convertible sports car with curiosity in her eyes.

Lin Lang closed the car door, returned to the driver's seat, and leaned over to fasten a belt for Helan Minyue that she had never seen before.

"Uh... Your Majesty, what are you doing?" Helan Minyue was restrained by the seat belt and felt a little nervous and uncomfortable.

"This is a seat belt, it protects my beloved from the bumpy ride." Lin Lang explained gently.

"Hehe...So that's how it is!" Helan Minyue smiled sweetly.

The moment the car engine started, a "buzz" sound suddenly sounded. Helan Minyue was startled and subconsciously leaned towards Lin Lang.

"Don't be afraid, my dear. This is the sound of a car engine, just like a horse neighing. Don't be afraid." Lin Lang held Helan Minyue's hand and soothed her gently.

Helan Minyue looked at the smile in Lin Lang's eyes, and the previous nervousness gradually dissipated, replaced by curiosity. She responded sweetly, "Yeah", her eyes had already been attracted by the glittering street scene outside the window, and even her breathing was a little excited.

Lin Lang stepped on the accelerator and the Ferrari shot out like a red lightning. Helan Minyue only felt the whistling of wind in her ears and the neon lights on both sides retreated like meteors.

She couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, and then her mind was captured by the feeling of being pushed on the back that she had never experienced before, and an uncontrollable smile appeared on the corners of her mouth.

"Your Majesty, the cars in Shanghai run so fast! It's so fun!"

"My dear, when you are driving a convertible sports car, you must listen to music to feel it more." Lin Lang drove the Ferrari with one hand and turned on the car radio with a smile.

The local FM music radio was playing Li Moli's song "Divination." Helan Minyue, who had never heard pop songs before, couldn't help but exclaimed, "Oh my God, this car can actually play music!"

Lin Lang smiled and said, "The car radio has a music function. This song is sung by Li Fei."

After hearing this, Helan Minyue was surprised: "Wow, if I listen carefully, it really is Concubine Li's voice. I didn't expect her to sing so beautifully, hehe..."

"My dear, can I take you shopping in the mall?"

Helan Minyue asked curiously, "Your Majesty, what is shopping in a mall?"

While driving, Lin Lang replied, "I'll take you to the market in Shanghai to buy clothes, jewelry, and cosmetics, and then take you to the barber shop in the mall to get your hair permed, okay?"

Helan Minyue asked in confusion: "What is a perm?"

Lin Lang patiently explained, "It means putting curlers on your hair and applying perm lotion to it, so it becomes curly hair like the women of the Western Regions. You can also dye it light brown, giving you an exotic hairstyle."

Unexpectedly, the very traditional and conservative Helan Minyue actually shook her head and said, "No, no, I cannot accept what Your Majesty has said. I beg Your Majesty to rescind your order and let me wear my hair in the Tang Dynasty style!"

After hearing this, Lin Lang smiled and replied, "Okay, then we will only buy you clothes, jewelry, and cosmetics at the mall and won't change your hairstyle."

Helan Minyue couldn't hide her happiness and smiled sweetly. "Thank you, Your Majesty. I'm very curious about what the market in Shanghai is like."

"My dear, the shopping malls in Shanghai are full of all kinds of goods, selling all kinds of novel items. It will definitely open your eyes." As Lin Lang spoke, he had already driven into the underground parking lot of Shanghai Times Square.
