Daqin: A buff of incredible comprehension

Surrounded by members of the royal family, Li Yao suddenly heard the bell-like laughter. Her attention was drawn to the nearby Wei River. The scene before her was breathtaking: hundreds of people in gorgeous attire, enjoying the beautiful riverside scenery together.

Despite the beautiful scenery along the coast, this scene was more spectacular than any of the previous ones.

"It's true that being crowded and lively is the best." Chen Ming's eyes involuntarily followed the young girls.

Just then, Wang Ruolan rode by. "What are you looking at?" She followed his gaze. "These women are so shameless, showing off so much even in front of the royal procession!"

"Ruolan, stop it. Today is a free day. Even gods wouldn't interfere in matters of love between men and women. Why are you so concerned?" Chen Ming said unhappily. "Besides, Sister Yao is planning to go out with her old friends soon."

"I just want to worry!" Wang Ruolan puffed out her chest and said proudly, "If anyone dares to have any evil thoughts about your people... humph!"

** He had no choice but to compromise, bowed seriously and said, "Sister Ruolan, please take good care of me."

During the Shangsi Festival, it was not uncommon for young people to express their affection for each other. Even the daughters of nobles did not shy away from singing love songs to common men. ** He was worried that someone would be bold enough to disturb his companions.

Since Wang Ruolan was willing to help, it was perfect, and she was pretty good at it. ** She felt it was better to be more reliable. "Okay, thank you. I'm relieved to have you take care of everything."

Wang Ruolan gave a few instructions and then rode away. Looking at her back, Chen Ming sighed softly, "This girl is getting more and more difficult to deal with."

After the royal procession arrived at the Gaomei Temple, the elders and dignitaries returned home after the ceremony, leaving the young people to enjoy the beauty of nature. Although Li Yao was a married woman, her heart remained young and she invited everyone to go play by the river.

"Han Xin is here."

"Uncle, what do you want to talk to me about?" The loyal nephew rode over and asked.

"Let's exchange mounts and you can go for a walk. You might as well spend some time interacting with young women today. If anyone asks, just say it was my uncle who brought you out. Got it?"

Han Xin was deeply grateful. This was his first time attending the Shangsi Festival. Normally, the residents of Xianyang shunned him, no one willing to discuss romance with him. But on this day, ** wanted him to feel a little warmth.

** Jumping off the horse and handing over the reins: "Go ahead, Han Xin, and experience it to your heart's content."

"Uncle, it's better for me not to go." Han Xin shook his head.

"What will happen if I go? Will I harm you?" ** forced the reins into his hands, "Your Han family is small, and we are counting on our descendants to have more children."

** Guarantee: "As long as there is a girl you like, I will help you propose marriage."

Finally, after a moment of hesitation, Han Xin nodded: "Then I'll just take a walk around here."

After seeing Han Xin off, Chen Ming suddenly noticed a lonely figure in the corner. "Aunt, why aren't you with them?"

Mi Yan was a special case, not suitable for playing with the royal children. She remained silent and seemed a little lonely. After the others left, she was left alone.

"The scenery over there is unique, I want to go and see it too."

To avoid being misunderstood as being unsociable, she lowered her head and stepped back.

Chen Ming felt a mix of emotions at the thought. "Oh, I really hope she can unpack her belongings soon and start a happy new life." He sighed silently and strolled towards the shore.

Half an hour later, at the riverside.

** He was exchanging glances with a beautiful girl, planning to find a quiet place to deepen their feelings. However, the chaos on the official road interrupted

In modern society, it is common to see luxurious cars parked in front of art academies, with bottles of water placed on their roofs. The purpose is obvious. During the ancient Shangsi Festival, men dressed in gorgeous clothes and rode fine horses to attract the attention of girls.

Red Shadow, that precious and extraordinary mount, would be the equivalent of a custom-built Bugatti Veyron in modern times—the ultimate in luxury. That day, two young noblemen rode their steeds through the streets. While not particularly extravagant, the horses they rode were comparable to a modern Maserati or Porsche 911.

Su Yao, a young woman of outstanding appearance and elegant manners, traveled alone, without relatives or guards. On such a joyous occasion, she naturally attracted attention. Two young men on horseback stopped Su Yao.

“Out of the east gate, there are women as numerous as clouds.

Although it is like a cloud, it is not what I think.

Wearing white clothes and scarves, I am here to have fun with my friends."

One of them sat upright on his horse, his eyes filled with passionate emotion as he recited a love poem. The other young man, not to be outdone, smiled broadly and continued in a rhythmic voice:

"There are creeping weeds in the wild, dripping with dew.

There is a beautiful person, clear and graceful.

Meeting by chance is what I wish for.”

Their horses kept pacing back and forth, blocking Su Yao's way. Like peacocks competing for attention, they took turns quoting poetry, hoping to win the emperor's favor.

"Please move aside, I...I want to go back."

Su Yao, a recluse from childhood, had never witnessed such a scene before and felt flustered and uneasy. She frantically searched the crowd for familiar faces, seeking help. The two noblemen, however, grew increasingly interested, believing she was a new face attending the festival for the first time. The thought of spending a wonderful evening with her made the year-long wait worthwhile.

"The peach tree is young and lush, its flowers are bright and beautiful."

Before he could finish his words, the horse he was riding suddenly got startled and neighed as it galloped forward, almost throwing him off. He subconsciously cursed, but was interrupted by the sudden sound, and there was chaos all around. At that moment, a big hand reached out and grabbed Su Yao's wrist, protecting her behind him.

Fu Xuan glared at him and said sternly, "What are you waiting for? Are you looking for death?"

The nobleman who nearly fell off his horse was furious, but he quickly calmed down. Seeing that this man was so handsome and fearless, he had to suppress his temper and asked, "Who are you?"

"I am the Commander of the Chen Mansion," Fu Xuan said. Upon hearing this, the two men's faces darkened, their previous elegant and complacent demeanor completely gone.

"So... it's you?" A young man gasped and looked at the other person carefully. "It is indeed the rumored Chen Mansion Commander himself."

The two young nobles exchanged a glance and decided to leave. One dismounted respectfully, bowed, and apologized, "I've offended you today, but it was truly reckless. Please forgive me, Your Excellency." Then, leading his horse, he slowly departed. The other hurriedly followed, whispering, "I hope your Excellency will forgive me."

After seeing the two men retreat, Fu Xuan's anger subsided a little. He noticed that his aunt Su Yao was still standing there rubbing her wrist, so he asked her if she was okay. "Nothing's wrong. You must be careful of those frivolous people today. If this weren't a public place, who knows what would happen."

"I try to take the road where there are no people." Su Yao replied, but she said helplessly, "But there are too many people now. I wanted to find you but was stopped by someone..."

Hearing this, Fu Xuan felt pity: "Just stay with me from now on." However, at this moment, thinking of the other woman he had made an appointment with, he hesitated again - he had originally planned to take the girl out for a trip and create a romantic experience.

Suddenly, I realized that the person I was supposed to be with was nowhere to be found. In an instant, they disappeared without a trace.

"Who is it?" Su Yao asked curiously.

"Um...it's the one I mentioned earlier. We agreed to come out together, but he disappeared."

Fu Xuan felt quite a bit of regret about this. "I thought I could witness a miracle," he thought to himself. But fate seemed to be playing a trick on him, and it didn't come true.

Su Yao guessed something, "Do you like other girls? Am I affecting you?"

Faced with this question, Fu Xuan shook his head and said, "It's not what you think." Then he turned to other topics. "Don't worry too much."

"What should we do next?" Su Yao blinked and looked at him guiltily.

Fu Xuan sighed and said, "We can only try again next year." At the same time, he warned her to follow him just in case.

The two of them walked together. Su Yao could sense his emotional turmoil over the missed opportunity. This made her feel very guilty, and she took the initiative to ask to accompany him on the tour. However, Fu Xuan understood that this did not solve his real problem - the next more critical step was not compensated or replaced.

But he responded gently:

Wan Xi said with a face full of grievance:

"elder sister."

"You..." Su Jin hesitated several times before finally sighing and shaking his head, "My heart is on national affairs. I don't care about those romantic affairs under the moonlight."

"What I want is a study partner!"

Chapter 24: Encounter in the Wilderness

Wan Xi frowned in thought. According to Su Jin, it seemed that he wanted to find someone to study with?

"Of course I can accompany you to study," Wan Xi said seriously, "but it's best to do it during the day to avoid gossip."

Su Jin sighed and waved helplessly.

The tourists gradually thinned out. Couples of men and women retreated to secluded areas to engage in intimate activities. Such scenes could be seen everywhere, behind trees, under bridges, and in the bushes.

A hand suddenly appeared from behind a bluestone not far away.

"Sir, don't do this." The woman's voice came faintly.

"I haven't explained what the good stuff you just mentioned is."

Wanxi's brows furrowed more and more, while Su Jin looked dissatisfied.

He winked at Wan Xi and quietly moved towards the stone. "Stop!" A roar interrupted everything, followed by a panicked scream.

A disheveled man and woman fled in a panic.

The man straightened his clothes and yelled, "Who are you, the offender?"

"I am Zhao Chong from the Black Ice Platform. I am investigating a case and do not wish to encounter anything so immoral."

Su Jin asked seriously.

Hearing the name "Black Ice Terrace", the man didn't dare to say anything more. He packed up and left. Su Jin left with a triumphant look.

Wan Xi watched from a distance and finally relaxed. "How is it? Did I embarrass myself?" Su Jin asked.

Wan Xi gently rebuked him and told him not to do it again.

Su Jin said sternly, "The world is getting worse and worse." He noticed a couple preparing to continue, "You shameless guys, get out of here!"
