As the sun set, Chang 'an City was more lively than during the day because of the Qixi Lantern Festival.
In the past, the most lively place in Chang 'an at night was undoubtedly Pingkang Lane, but today it was Qujiang Pool.
There were even quite a number of women from Pingkang Lane who were invited out with a large sum of money to travel with others.
The people of Qi were romantic. During this festival of begging for cleverness, the young man who was young and full of vigor but did not have a wife in his heart happily invited the girl from Pingkang Lane to accompany him.
On the bustling street, Zhu Menghuang was like a cheerful lark as she happily followed beside Bai Musheng.
This was the first time she had left the Great Ming Palace after entering the palace.
The Great Ming Palace was beautiful, but living inside it inevitably lacked the aura of the human world.
Although the Retired Emperor and the Empress Dowager were hiding in Xingqing Palace, Zhu Menghuang did not need to wake up early to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager every day. However, after a long time, Zhu Menghuang's playful personality still made her feel annoyed.
Seeing that most of the pedestrians were wearing masks, Zhu Menghuang was also excited. She bought a rabbit mask and a tiger mask from the stall next door.
"Husband, let's put it on too!"
Zhu Menghuang looked at Bai Musheng with a smile. Her eyes seemed to be coated with a layer of bright gold under the light.
"Sure," Bai Musheng nodded and stretched out his hand toward the tiger mask.
During the day, this lass had been worrying about how to leave the palace smoothly. Seeing that she had a terrible headache, Bai Musheng decided to give her a reason.
It just so happened that today was also the festival of begging for cleverness, so he brought Zhu Menghuang to visit the lanterns.
The empress left the palace in a low-key manner and did not make a big fuss. Only Ai Ning, Zhan Zhaohe, and a few guards followed her.
At this moment, Ai Ning and Zhan Zhao were following behind them from afar. Ai Ning looked anxious and wanted to go forward, but she was worried that she would disturb the empress.
" Aiyo, my Imperial Cat Lord, you really have to keep a close eye on it. There are really too many people on the streets today. If anyone dares to offend Tian Zi…cough cough, offend me, we-"
"Alright, alright."
Zhan Zhao sighed.
Ai Ning had said this countless times.
"My ability is greater than all of us combined. It's not like you don't know. Who in the world can hurt me now?”
Even though he said that, Aining was still worried.
Seeing him like this, Zhan Zhao didn't say anything more.
On the other side, Zhu Menghuang smiled slyly when she saw Bai Musheng about to take the tiger mask. She suddenly retracted her hand and stuffed the rabbit mask into Bai Musheng's hand.
"Hehe, this concubine wears a tiger, and husband wears a rabbit, okay?”
Bai Musheng was speechless, but he let this lass play around. He lowered his head and looked at the rabbit mask in his hand.
The little rabbit looked adorable and extremely likable, similar to how this silly girl acted cute.
Bai Musheng put on the mask. Zhu Menghuang's eyes curved like crescent moons when she saw this and she also put on the tiger mask.
There were so many people on the street and they were wearing masks. It was quite normal for them to get separated.
The first stage of Nirvana wouldn't take too much time. He just needed to find an opportunity to slip away and return after he succeeded.
He hoped that the young paparazzo wouldn't be so worried that he would turn Chang 'an upside down.
If that's the case, then I'm guilty.
? But Gou 'zi more or less knew his abilities, so he shouldn't be too worried.
Then, he would play with Gou 'zi first!
With this thought in mind, Zhu Menghuang reached out with a smile and gently held Bai Musheng's hand under his sleeve. Their fingers interlocked.
Bai Musheng, who had heard this silly girl's plan clearly, secretly glared at her.
This was getting more and more ridiculous.
The dignified empress actually wanted to disappear.
However, Bai Musheng quite liked her personality.
If she really became a boring girl who walked and talked like a well-trained gentleman, Bai Musheng would feel bored instead.
Bai Musheng had seen too many daughters from noble families like her since he was young.
Those people stood in front of him, wishing that they could make every smile with perfect precision.
It looked good, but it also made people lose interest.
As they strolled around the lantern show, Zhu Menghuang soon had a lot of snacks in her hands.
The silly girl lifted her mask slightly and put it on her head, revealing half of her face. As she opened her mouth, she quickly ate the snacks in her hand.
It looked like a hamster.
Because she was eating the pastry, her rosy lips were stained with a layer of shiny oil.
However, this girl didn't seem to mind. Not only did she pass the snacks in her hand to share with him from time to time, but she would also take advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to her and kiss him, leaving an oily lipstick mark on his face.
As they were walking, Bai Musheng suddenly grabbed someone who was passing by.
Then, he swiftly removed the hood from the other party's head. Looking at the other party's nervous face, Bai Musheng sneered.
"It's really…life is full of coincidences, don't you think?”
"Grandpa…"
Gu Kaizhi's gaze was fleeting, but he quickly recalled his current state and regained his composure.
"Master, this lowly one did not violate the laws of the imperial court today. This lowly one swears that this lowly one absolutely did not take advantage of the Qixi Festival to go around selling art books!”
"You didn't." Bai Musheng glanced ahead and snorted." But what's with your daoist robe? I…why don't I remember you being in the information realm?”
Gu Kaizhi chuckled.
"A little…a little hobby!"
"Oh-"
Bai Musheng drawled.
"Pretending to be a Taoist priest, telling people's marriages, charging a much higher fee than others, and then giving your drawing books to those young men and women who are in love with you, am I right?”
"Gu Kaizhi, did the Imperial Academy raise you to do such a shameful thing?”
"You've disgraced the imperial court!”
When Gu Kaizhi heard Bai Musheng accurately describe his actions tonight, he was so frightened that his legs and stomach started to tremble.
"Grandpa! Listen to my explanation! This was really just a small hobby! I didn't use my real name! No one else will know!"
"Hehehehe…"
Bai Musheng's laughter sounded like it came from hell to Gu Kaizhi. Knowing that he couldn't escape, he lowered his head obediently.
"Master…why don't I give you all the money I earned tonight? Just pretend you didn't see me?"
"I'll punish you with another month's salary."
Gu Kaizhi admitted defeat.
Feeling satisfied, he weighed the money bag in his hand and winked at Zhu Menghuang.
"Someone will be responsible for tonight's expenses. Not bad, right?”
Zhu Menghuang laughed so hard that she was trembling. She turned around and looked at Gu Kaizhi's dejected figure. She couldn't help but shake her head."Husband, he is a Hanlin scholar and his salary is not low. Why does he like to do…do these things?”
"Who knows?"
Bai Musheng pursed his lips.
Perhaps his brain was caught in the door when he was summoned?
