Yang Zhao slept very soundly that night.
Early the next morning, he was woken up by the maidservants who pushed open the door and entered.
"Guye, young miss, Gongye is waiting in the main hall to pay his respects. Please let guye and young miss wash up and change clothes.”
The maidservants brought copper basins, towels, and pieces of brand-new clothes to Yang Zhao.
Although they knew that this son-in-law was from a poor family and was a live-in son-in-law, his status in the public house was not high.
But even if he wasn't high, Yang Zhao was still the son-in-law of the Duke of Tang. He was more noble than these maidservants who were born slaves, so they naturally had to serve him well.
When the maids saw Yang Zhao sleeping in the wing room, fully clothed, they guessed that their Young Miss had not allowed him to touch her body last night, so the two of them had not consummated their marriage.
In other words, the young master and young miss would most likely only be husband and wife in name in the future.
The maidservants looked pitiful.
Yang Zhao had sharp ears and eyes, so how could he not notice the sympathy in the servant girls 'subtle expressions?
He did not care.
Previously, he did not hesitate to become a live-in son-in-law. Firstly, he wanted to fulfill his adoptive father's dying wish. Secondly, he wanted to use the Li family, the future founder of the dynasty, to achieve his career.
However, it was different now.
He was the Yama of the Yang Realm, and he held the power to review the reincarnation of souls in the underworld. Countless heroic spirits of the past could provide him with all kinds of power.
He was confident that even if he did not borrow the Li family's power, he would be able to look down on the world in the future!
One had to know that Lu Bu, Zhang Liang, Zhao Yun, Li Guang…these Heroic Souls were the top heroes of that era.
With these people's souls as the backing, if he still couldn't achieve great things, then he would be too useless.
In the bronze mirror, the young man who had once been dressed in plain clothes was now dressed in a brocade robe. A jade pendant hung from his waist, a jade hairpin tied his hair, and he was wearing cloud shoes. He looked like a handsome young master.
The few maidservants couldn't help but secretly glance at him, their eyes dazed.
Appearance and clothes were external, Yang Zhao was ambitious, so how could he care? He turned around and walked out of the carriage door.
As soon as she went out, she bumped into Li Xiuning.
The moment she saw Yang Zhao, Li Xiu Ning was also stunned, as if she couldn't recognize him for a moment.
In the next moment, she frowned and realized that the handsome man in front of her was her new husband.
The two of them arrived at the main hall, one after the other.
According to the rules and Sui etiquette, the two of them kowtowed to the two elders.
"Zhao 'er, Ning' er, it will be the Heavenly Yuan Festival in a few days. The emperor has ordered that lanterns be set up in the eastern capital for three consecutive days. If you have nothing to do tonight, you can go to the lantern market together.”
Li Yuan ordered with a smile.
"Little son-in-law has nothing to do. I've long heard that Luoyang's lantern market is lively during the High Yuan Festival, so I'll go take a look.”
Yang Zhao said lightly.
Li Xiu Ning frowned, her expression unwilling, but she didn't answer.
Li Yuan gave Madam Dou a look.
Lady Dou could only say,"Everyone in Luoyang knows that you two are married. If we don't go out to watch the lanterns together during the Lantern Festival, it will inevitably be criticized by outsiders. It won't be good for our Li family."”
Although Madam Dou didn't like Yang Zhao, after all, what was done was done. What else could she do? She only hoped that the two husband and wife could live in harmony.
Letting the two of them look at the lights together was also to prevent outsiders from gossiping.
"Since Father and Mother have said so, I will obey.”
Li Xiu Ning had no choice but to agree.
Before he knew it, night had fallen and Luoyang City was already lit up with lanterns. The night sky was dazzled by the lanterns.
The husband and wife changed into casual clothes and left the Tang Public House, walking aimlessly along the street.
Li Xiu Ning had a grudge in her heart. If it wasn't for her parents 'orders, she wouldn't have been willing to show her face on the streets with Yang Zhao. As husband and wife, they admired the lanterns. Along the way, she didn't make a sound, and her face was gloomy.
Yang Zhao didn't care, treating her like air, only enjoying the lights.
The Eastern Capital, Luoyang, was designed by the famous craftsman of the Great Sui Dynasty, Yuwen Kai. It had cost millions of manpower and material resources to build. The scale of the city had long surpassed that of the Western Capital, Chang 'an.
Yang Guang, the emperor, liked to be grandiose. It was the Lantern Festival, so he wanted to use this opportunity to show off the prosperity of Great Sui.
This was why there were tens of thousands of lanterns set up in every street in Luoyang City, illuminating the entire city as if it was daytime.
"What a pity. Such a beautiful scenery will soon be gone…"
Yang Zhao thought that in a few years, the Great Sui Dynasty would fall apart, but the Emperor was still spending his money on this fake prosperity and couldn't help but sigh.
For a commoner to be able to say such profound words, Li Xiu Ning's heart couldn't help but tremble slightly as she raised her head to look at him.
Suddenly, Li Xiu Ning had an idea in her mind. She wanted to know more about Yang Zhao.
Just as she was about to speak, Yang Zhao suddenly stopped.
"Let's part ways here. You enjoy your lanterns, and I'll drink my wine. We'll have nothing to do with each other. We'll meet here in two hours and go home together.”
Yang Zhao raised his head and glanced at the plaque of the building in front of him. On it were written three large characters,"Drunken Immortal Lane". It was the famous wine shop of this Peace Lane.
The thought in Li Xiu Ning's heart was overturned by Yang Zhao's words. For some reason, a faint sense of disappointment flashed through her heart.
"I was just about to say it. I don't want to admire the lanterns with you. I still have to go to the military camp.”
Li Xiu Ning snorted coldly and turned around to say goodbye.
At this moment, a commotion suddenly came from the other end of the street.
"Dodge, quickly dodge, the horse is frightened!”
The two of them stopped at the same time and looked in the direction of the voice. They saw a snow-clothed girl riding a crazy red horse as she galloped over.
The girl's horsemanship was obviously not good, and the red horse was a fierce horse. When it lost control, it ran wildly on all fours, scaring the tourists on the road into fleeing in all directions.
"It's Sister Wugou!"
Li Xiu Ning's expression changed slightly as she called out a name in a low voice.
