Today, the Forbidden City was bustling with noise and excitement. There were lanterns and colorful streamers everywhere. Those who were lucky enough to sneak a glance from outside the Forbidden City could see a red sea decorated inside. It was very festive. The two sides of the giant turtle embossed on the steps in front of the palace were also decorated with festive colors.
Soon, a large group of people entered the city. There were thousands of carriages behind them, and all of them were the families of high-ranking officials. Security was tight outside the Forbidden City. A group of imperial guards walked around from time to time to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to cause trouble.
The Forbidden City had suddenly become so lively today because it was the 50th birthday of Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty. Of course, all the relatives of the emperor had to attend, including the many concubines of Emperor Yongzheng.
Many commoners were currently crowding around the Forbidden City. They wanted to witness this rare moment with their own eyes, because they could see the splendor of the Manchu nobles.
If he missed this opportunity, who knew when he would have to wait to see so many Manchu nobles again!
However, there were many nobles in the Qing Dynasty who hated dealing with commoners. They were tired of even looking at them, so they pulled down the curtains on the luan carriages and quickly passed through the crowd to enter the Forbidden City.
The commoners fought to see the splendor of the Manchu nobles. Although there were many luan chariots, they either took a quick glance or did not see anything. They could only craned their necks to look at the next luan chariot.
However, not long after, a luan carriage arrived. Not only did it not pull down the curtain on the luan carriage, but it even poked its head out and smiled very brightly.
The man looked at the people around him with excitement and curiosity.
"Wow, there are so many people. It's so lively!”Xiangli's beautiful eyes widened as she looked at the crowd on the street, as if she had never seen the world.
Xiangli was probably the Manchu aristocrat that the commoners could see the most clearly. On Xiangli's beautiful oval face, there was a pair of clear autumn eyes. As her gaze moved, she was extremely charming. Along the way, she smiled gently and charmingly. She did not have any air of nobility at all, making people feel extremely cordial.
Everyone could not bear to look away.
"Hello, everyone!" Xiangli Gege used her clear voice to extend her hands to greet the crowd on the street.
" It's Ge Ge! It's Ge Ge!"
Everyone whispered to each other in pleasant surprise. After standing here for so long, they didn't expect to see such a beautiful Ge Ge. Moreover, she was so friendly and cute.
"Ge Ge, you're so pretty!”A middle-aged man shouted loudly to Xiangli who was sitting on the carriage.
When the others heard this, they also followed suit and shouted that Ge Ge was so beautiful.
Gege Xiangli felt a wave of comfort in her heart when she heard this. She did not expect that everyone would be so honest these days!
Therefore, she became even more excited and braver. She waved at the crowd even more brazenly and shouted,"Thank you! Thank you for your support. I will definitely work harder! I won't let you down."
"Miss, why are you working so hard? I beg you to quickly stretch your head back, okay?”Xiangli's personal servant girl, Lin 'er, pulled her desperately, hoping that she would stick her head back and stop greeting the people on the street. However, no matter how she pulled, she could not move Xiangli.
"Don't be noisy! Aren't you ruining my mood? It was rare to see such a big scene. There were so many people. It was so lively!”Xiangli giggled charmingly, making people reluctant to blame her. "Why don't you come out and watch it with me?”
"No! If you continue to wave at the people on the street like this, even though wangye and the Fujin's luan chariot is in front, they will find out sooner or later. At that time, we will be finished!”Lin 'er was still trying very hard to pull her, but Xiangli seemed to be frozen in place and couldn't be pulled no matter how hard she tried.
Lin 'er became more and more flustered.
"So be it. I, Ma, am not an 80% Duke. I have to memorize such a long name for no reason. It took me a long time to memorize it. It's not bad to take this opportunity to let everyone know him. And he would be grateful to me! Tell me, wow, Xiangli, how can you be so smart? You don't forget to let everyone know you wherever you go. Ama had thousands of words of gratitude in his heart, but he really didn't know where to start!”
Xiangli giggled even more happily. She felt that she was really smart. When everyone got to know her, the Guardian Duke, she would definitely love her more.
"Ge Ge, you'll get me scolded! I'm begging you, can you come in quickly?”Lin 'er was about to cry.
Lady Xiangli was still her usual self, shouting excitedly at the crowd. Suddenly, a luan carriage came by, and Yu Long was sitting inside. She was also going to the Forbidden City, and her grandeur was even bigger than Lady Xiangli's. She had brought countless people with her, including her attendants and guards. There were so many people that it seemed as if there was no end to them.
It couldn't be helped. She was the princess 'daughter. Just her position was several levels higher than hers. Of course, the extravagance would be greater than hers. However, wasn't it a little too exaggerated to bring so many people who seemed to have no end?
"Hello, you're also going to the Forbidden City, right?”Since everyone was going the same way, Xiangli greeted Yu Long warmly. "My name is Xiangli. You are Yu Long, right?”
After Yu Long cast a haughty glance at Xiangli, she pulled down the curtain and ignored Xiangli.
"What? Why must he be so proud? If he doesn't care, then so be it! Amazing." Xiangli mumbled behind her.
After Yu Long passed by, another luan carriage arrived behind them. Inside the carriage was the Zhuan Wei Bei Le. Xiangli knew him because he was now the emperor's favorite. She heard that he was both intelligent and brave, and the emperor admired him very much!
The Duke of Zhuan Wei was considered an influential figure among the royal family. Everyone would talk about him whenever they had something to do.
"Hello, Drunken Wei Baylor!" Xiangli greeted him warmly.
Xiangli giggled. With her cute little pear nest, how could she not be lovable?
Hello, Xiangli." Dwight Grace returned her greeting politely, his sharp eyes revealing his infatuation with Xiangli.
Unfortunately, the always muddle-headed Gege Xiangli did not see any clues.
"Eh? You recognize me?" Xiangli asked in puzzlement.
She rarely went to the palace. Moreover, although she was a Ge Ge, she was actually the one with the lowest status among the imperial relatives. Some people did not even know of her existence, but this Zhuan Wei Baylor, who was so popular in front of the Emperor, actually knew of her.
"I recognize you. You're so beautiful that it's easy for people to forget you after one look.”The Drunken Wei Prince said frivolously.
Xiangli Gege did not feel good after hearing that. She felt that his praise did not seem to come from his heart.
"Thank you. Why don't I remember seeing you before?”
"Princess Xiangli, you're really forgetful. A few months ago, when I visited your residence, you even greeted me.”
"I don't seem to have any impression of it!" She greeted everyone she saw. She had greeted so many people before, so how could she remember who they were?
"Let's go for tea tomorrow! What do you think?" Dhuanwei Baylor invited Xiangli.
"Let's make another appointment and see if I'm free.”Xiangli replied casually.
"Then I'll wait for good news!"
Without waiting for Dwight Wei Bei Lei to say anything, Xiangli Gege shouted to the coachman in front,""Hey, can you hurry up?”
The coachman heard this and immediately sped up.
Gege Xiangli turned her head and said to the Zhuan Wei Bei Le,""Goodbye!"
Gege Xiangli was immediately intoxicated by the cheers of the crowd. Just as Gege Xiangli was happily shouting at the crowd outside, her beautiful eyes suddenly saw a handsome man mixed in the crowd. Her eyes immediately locked onto him, almost mesmerized by him. She had never seen such a handsome man.
He was very tall, so he was still quite eye-catching among the crowd. He had a pair of deep and unfathomable eyes. There was a hint of evil in them, but there was also a hint of mystery. His long hair was blown by the wind, and he looked cold and arrogant. His tightly pursed lips gave off an unapproachable feeling.
When the crowd saw Ge Xiangli, they all cheered loudly and were pleasantly surprised. However, this man did not even look at her. He only cared about rushing through the crowd. He had no interest in making a fuss with the people around him. He only cared about his destination.
He should be a very proud person!
Gege Xiangli thought to herself, I wonder if there's the word 'Gu' in his name? Otherwise, why was there coldness in his deep eyes? She really wanted to know who he was, where he lived, what his name was, whether he had a sweetheart…and so on.
Gege Xiangli was too focused on this matter. Her hands, which were originally holding onto the window frame, accidentally let go. Lin 'er pulled them hard. Because of their unstable center of gravity, Gege Xiangli and Lin' er rolled out of the luan carriage and into the crowd.
Gege Xiangli and Lin 'er screamed. The coachman was so frightened that he quickly stopped. The attendants hurriedly walked into the crowd to look for Gege Xiangli.
In front of them, Xiangli Gege's Ama and Mother also quickly stopped and searched for Xiangli Gege's figure in the crowd.
As there were too many people on the street, it was so crowded that it was difficult to find anyone.
"Aiyo! It hurts!" After a moment of panic, Xiangli fell to the ground. Her fair hands were still a little bruised, and there were also some blood vessels seeping out, not to mention her knees. She fell and was bruised and purple, which showed how big the collision was.
"It's all Lin 'er's fault. She kept pulling me for no reason and caused me to fall on my face. How embarrassing! It was fine if it was a superficial injury, but what if his brain was damaged? Ama and Mother are screaming."
Just as Gege Xiangli was about to stand up from the ground, someone suddenly reached out and gently helped her up.
"Are you alright?"
A deep and magnetic male voice entered her ears, and Xiangli was mesmerized by it.
It was him! The handsome man she saw on the palanquin just now. This really surprised her. She was actually looking at him from such a close distance, and her hand was even held by him. This was really a good opportunity given by the heavens. She did not expect him to be so good-looking and have such a gentle and pleasant voice!
From afar, she could already feel that he was handsome, not to mention looking at him so close. She could vaguely smell the faint masculine smell of grass from his body, and she almost couldn't breathe.
His pair of bottomless eyes stared at her. She knew that her face must be very red at this moment. Her heart was so nervous that it was about to jump out of her chest. Her breathing was also very irregular. This was the first time she had such a strange feeling towards a man.
Lei Yuan didn't expect that something would suddenly roll out in front of him when he was walking halfway. When he looked carefully, he found that it was a woman. He didn't know where she had fallen out from. He just wanted to pull her and leave quickly, but he didn't expect that he bumped into a delicate little beauty.
Strange, there was still a beauty who fell out halfway through the walk! Strange things happened every year, but today was especially so.
Since that was the case, he didn't mind chatting with the little beauty a little more. Moreover, this little beauty had a plain oval face, makeup, and a pair of watery autumn eyes that seemed to be able to speak. Her red lips were slightly open, and she wanted people to kiss her right here.
Compared to the beautiful girls around him in the past, this little beauty had an extra impulse to make people want to take good care of her. She should be a woman raised in a golden house.
" I-I-I…" Xiangli swallowed her saliva with difficulty. He looked at her with a burning gaze, which gave her a lot of pressure. She was so nervous that she could not say what she wanted to say.
"Am I that terrifying? You're so scared that you can't even speak clearly." "If I'm really that scary, I'll have to reflect on myself when I get back," Lei Yuan said with a smile.”
Lei Yuan had wanted to chat with this little beauty in front of him a little more, but unfortunately, he caught a glimpse of a servant girl looking for her in the crowd.
"Miss, where are you?" Lin 'er anxiously shuttled through the crowd, looking for Xiangli Gege's figure. Unfortunately, she was petite and could only see limited things. Xiangli Gege was also small, increasing the difficulty of finding her.
He narrowed his cold eyes and continued to say to her,"Looks like someone is looking for you. I have to go.”
Lei Yuan grabbed her chin at lightning speed, and his four lips overlapped. He savoured the fragrance in her mouth wildly and aggressively. Without her consent, he kissed her violently, stretching out his wet tongue and intertwined with her small tongue, and the warm breath echoed between them.
Ge Ge was almost out of breath from his kiss. Her entire body was limp in his broad embrace.
He kissed her on the street in front of everyone without her consent. Logically speaking, she should have pushed him away and slapped him three times.
However, not only did she not do that, she even hoped that he would hold her tighter so that time would not slip away so quickly. The feeling of being kissed by him was so sweet and blissful! She had never felt this way before, not to mention that it was only the first time they had met.
"Miss! Where did you fall?"
Lin 'er was stunned for a moment. She saw Xiangli being kissed by a man. She shook her head in disbelief. If His Highness and the Fujin knew about this, they would definitely cause a ruckus!
The shrewd Lei Yuan also happened to see Lin 'er. He suddenly let go of Gege Xiangli and said to her teasingly,""Kissing you is really addictive. It seems that no matter who I kiss again, I will think of you.”
" Wait, I still don't know your name, birth characters, where you are from, whether you have a sweetheart, what your hobbies are, what activities you like to do…" Xiangli hurriedly seized the time she spent with him and asked a series of questions from the bottom of her heart. She was afraid that if he left like this, she would never see him again.
Lei Yuan didn't answer her, but just smiled indifferently and left quickly. His tall figure gradually disappeared into the crowd.
Lin 'er also happened to walk behind Xiangli at this time, as if the kiss just now was just a dream.
Did that kiss represent a goodbye kiss?
"Miss, are you alright? Did that man kiss you just now?”Lin 'er asked nervously. She was afraid that if this matter were to spread, where would she put her face? It would definitely attract criticism. "Please, please don't tell me that he really kissed you. Please tell me that I saw wrongly.”
"Yes, he did kiss me, and it was a deep kiss! This is my first kiss!”Xiangli said sweetly. When she recalled the scene of kissing him just now, two red flowers floated on her beautiful cheeks.
"It can't be, right? Miss, I'll keep this a secret for you. Don't tell anyone! Otherwise, I'll definitely be in trouble.”
"Why? I like him very much, but unfortunately, he left before I could ask his name, birth characters, where he was from, whether he had a sweetheart, and so on. What a pity!”She felt sorry for him when she thought about how she knew nothing about him other than his appearance.
"Heavens! It's fine if you let him kiss you, but you even asked him so many questions. Do you know that girls can't ask boys so many questions directly?”
"I don't care about those rules! I can ask whatever I want." Xiangli said indifferently.
" Ge Ge, you…"
Lin 'er was really worried about this shortcoming of Xiangli.! He was too straightforward! Every time Gege Xiangli spoke, she didn't know the severity of her words. Because of this matter, she didn't know how many times his highness had nagged at her. His Highness always said that Xiangli Gege didn't follow her wife's words. Let's see what she will do in the future!
Actually, Xiangli Gege was really beautiful. If she often went to the palace, all the Baylors in the palace would definitely chase after her. She was one of the most eye-catching ones among all the other Ge Ge. Furthermore, she was kind-hearted and did not have the arrogance of a noble at all. She was very easy to get close to.
"I like him. I just like him. I won't regret giving him my first kiss.”As Xiangli spoke, her bright eyes flickered with the desire to see him again. His appearance had already changed her ordinary life.
Xiangli, did you hurt yourself?"
His Highness and the Fujin also arrived at this time and quickly asked if their precious daughter was alright!
"It's okay, it's okay. Look! Aren't I still standing here?”As she spoke, Xiangli circled three times on the spot and danced lightly like a butterfly. "I also know that you are my mother and mother. It can be seen that my brain is not damaged!”
"It's good that you're fine. I just heard from the coachman that you fell off the luan carriage. Mother was so scared that her heart almost stopped.”
"Don't worry, he won't die."
"Don't always say the word 'death'. It's unlucky!”When the prince heard this, he rebuked angrily.
"Alright, alright! I just don't want the atmosphere to be too tense!”Xiangli pouted and said coquettishly.
"If you're fine, we'll leave. If we don't enter the palace now, it'll definitely be too late.”
"Alright!"
