With Meng Shu's appearance and posture, there were already many people staring at her, and she was dressed like an unmarried daughter. Now that the emperor was holding her hand, even more people were staring at them.
The two of them originally went to watch the sideshow, but they found that the ordinary people who were watching the sideshow secretly glanced at them one by one and stopped watching the sideshow. It seemed that the two of them were more interesting than the sideshow.
Meng Shu and the emperor looked at each other and left quickly.
"We'd better get on the carriage to avoid it, and then go out for a walk after dark." The emperor said helplessly.
No way, who makes the two of them so outstanding?
Especially Meng Shu.
He's better with the mask on.
But Meng Shu was too eye-catching.
If he had known this, he should have helped her bring a mask out before.
"My carriage is parked a little far away, how about you?" Meng Shu asked.
The emperor then remembered that their carriage had been parked a little far away in order not to attract attention.
"On the way here, I saw a small stall selling masks on the street." Meng Shu looked at the emperor and pointed at his face: "I'd better wear a mask. There are many people who know me in the capital. Although those high-ranking officials Most nobles will not come to Emerald Lake, but just in case, it is better to wear a mask. "
She has been canonized as queen.
If she was seen holding hands with a man in the street, or the emperor's identity was exposed, everyone would know that he had recovered.
Or... Meng Shu was misunderstood.
She has been canonized as a queen, and she is still hooking up with other men. Not to mention what kind of charges are waiting for her, if this matter gets out, the impact will be too great.
It should be noted that human words can be feared!
Neither the royal family nor the British government can afford to lose this person.
"Then let's go take a look!" The emperor nodded.
Meng Shu took him to the stall selling masks on the street.
At the beginning, no one visited the stall, but when Meng Shu and the emperor were choosing masks, many people gathered around.
Meng Shu really didn't want to be looked at like a monkey anymore, so she randomly picked a mask and was about to put it on when someone grabbed her wrist.
She turned around and saw that it was her second cousin Lu Chaoyun.
Didn't the couple go outside the palace?
Every New Year's Eve, in addition to fireworks displays, you can also watch singing, dancing, juggling, etc. outside the palace, which is very lively.
Every year, the royal family would prepare several baskets of copper coins with auspicious meanings and scatter them from the palace walls.
Everyone will pick it up and get a chance to win.
Ordinary people simply can't squeeze in.
Those who were dressed too plainly had been stopped by Jin Wuwei a long time ago, fearing that they would bump into the noble people inside.
Because of the copper coins, the dignitaries almost all went outside the palace and never came to the Emerald Lake.
How did the couple go and come back?
"Shu'er, this is..." Lu Chaoyun's eyes were filled with shock.
Although her cousin is a casual person, she shouldn't be holding hands with a man in the street.
The key is...she has been canonized as a queen by the emperor's imperial edict.
In two months, Meng Shu will enter the palace.
Lu Chaoyun looked at the masked man standing next to Meng Shu and thought a lot.
Could it be that his cousin likes him?
That must be it!
Otherwise, with her cousin's temperament, if she didn't have him in her heart, she would never let him hold her hand.
But the emperor had already issued an imperial edict to confer the title of queen on his cousin, and it was impossible for her to disobey the edict.
Could it be possible that the two of them want to elope?
"Madam, you have recognized the wrong person!" Meng Shu put on a mask and pulled the emperor away.
No matter what her cousin would think, she would never admit it. Once she admitted it, the emperor's identity would be exposed.
Lu Chaoyun stared at their retreating figures, stunned.
"I...I read it right, she is Shu'er!" Lu Chaoyun turned to look at her husband Guo Jun: "Shu'er is so beautiful, how could I admit that I was wrong? There are no two people in this world who look exactly the same, even in their clothes. All the same people.”
"Let's not ask about your cousin's affairs. Just pretend that we have never seen her today." Guo Jun took his wife's hand and whispered: "Let's leave quickly. There will be a fireworks show soon. We're late. But I can only stand at the end.”
"Isn't there still half an hour? Don't worry, I'm just worried about Shu'er..." Lu Chaoyun was panicking.
If my cousin really had an affair with another man, once it was exposed, it would be a serious crime of beheading and exterminating the whole family.
"If you are worried, quietly ask your grandmother when you come back on the second day of the new year." Guo Jun advised.
"Then...okay!" Apart from that, she didn't have any other good ideas.
The couple originally wanted to go outside the palace, but because they were worried that Mrs. Guo would send someone to look for them there, they changed their route halfway and came to the Emerald Lake.
New Year's Eve is a good time for these young couples who have just been married and have a good relationship to go out.
The two of them have no children and have no ties for the time being. Of course they will go out for a walk tonight.
Guo Jun knew that his mother was eager to have a grandson, and the couple worked hard, but his mother was not satisfied. She always gave them home remedies and always made fortunes and fortune-telling.
In the past two months, they had found someone to calculate the auspicious day for them to have sex together. Before the so-called auspicious day, they were not allowed to stay together. They even drove him to the study and ordered his grandma to guard the door.
In the end, Lu Chaoyun's grandmother couldn't stand it any longer, so she came over to argue with her mother before letting the matter go.
The couple just want to take a break now, so as not to stay in the house and be talked about by her.
However, what they did not expect was that two quarters of an hour later, they met the emperor and Meng Shu again.
Although both of them were wearing masks, they did not change their clothes.
Besides, with Meng Shu's appearance, even if she changed her clothes and covered her face with a mask, Lu Chaoyun would still be able to recognize her.
Seeing that her cousin acted like a normal person, still talking and laughing with the man next to her, and the two of them were very close, Lu Chaoyun couldn't help but reach out and pinch the back of her husband's hand.
Guo Jun was a little dumbfounded. Who had he provoked?
Guo Jun touched the back of his hand and whispered in Lu Chaoyun's ear: "Yun'er, don't look at anything inappropriate, just pretend you didn't see it!"
"We shouldn't have come to Emerald Lake today. If I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't have had to worry so much." Lu Chaoyun sighed.
Guo Jun smiled and pulled her in another direction, far away from Meng Shu.
"Finally let's go!" Meng Shu looked at their retreating figures and said rather helplessly.
She and the emperor had deliberately avoided her cousin and the others, but they didn't expect to run into them just now.
The Emerald Lake is obviously very big!
"Has your cousin-in-law entered the court as an official?" the emperor asked.
He didn't have much impression of this person.
"He is from the Guo family, and his father Guo Mingyi is a minister of the Imperial College. My cousin-in-law passed the Jinshi exam three years ago and is now the Prime Minister of the Imperial College, a sixth-grade official."
