Empress of Erzhoumu: This plot is wrong!

Chapter 249 Empress: Our Couple
There were only four words on the wishing sign in the empress' hands: Marry Li Yunsheng.

After finishing writing, he put down the pen in his hand, clutched the wishing stick and threw it directly into the wishing box.

At this time, Li Yunsheng had just distributed the wishing lottery to the three of Wei Xiang, and he was the last one to put pen to paper.

And his wishing sign only has four words: Marry Jiang Qingying.

When the empress approached, he immediately turned around to block the empress' sight.

After finishing writing, he put the lottery face down, bypassing the empress and directly putting it into the wishing box.

The other three were different from the two of them who had nearly the same wishes.

Wei Xiang wrote: I hope Li Ling can be resurrected.

On the other hand, there are only four words on the wish of Obscure Moon: Falling into Illusion forever.

Little Taro's wish: I hope that Su Dingqi can be free.

After putting the wishing lottery into the wishing box, several people offered incense one after another, knelt down in front of the Buddha and kowtowed devoutly.

Unexpectedly, just after Li Yunsheng kowtowed, the stick of incense he inserted went out for no reason.

When I kowtowed for the second time, the incense was broken.

Noticing the abnormality, Li Yunsheng got up straight away, and simply didn't knock his head for the third time, he was afraid that the Buddha statue would not be able to bear it.

After burning the incense, the five of them climbed to the Six Harmonies Pagoda, where they could overlook the large expanses of chrysanthemums in Liuhe Temple.

After several people came out of the temple, it was already dusk.

Wei Xiang and Lu Yue returned directly to Li's Mansion with Little Taro, while Li Yunsheng and the Empress were walking aimlessly on the street holding hands, neither of them wanted to go home too early.

The two of them were strolling around when Jiang Qingying suddenly grabbed Li Yunsheng.

Li Yunsheng followed after a pause, and then followed the Empress' gaze to see a tavern on the corner of West Market.

This tavern is small and unremarkable in the capital, but it has been open for decades - Qin Ji Tavern.

For this place, Li Yunsheng is both unfamiliar and familiar.

Familiar because the two of them often came here when they were young, unfamiliar because he hasn't been here for many years.

The reason why I often came here when I was a child is because this is the place where the first emperor and his father often got together.

The two of them especially like the chrysanthemum wine and sauced beef here, so September Jiu must be a guest here.

However, since the two of them were gone, he never came again.

In addition to climbing high and appreciating chrysanthemums, drinking chrysanthemum wine is naturally indispensable on the Double Ninth Festival.

Jiang Qingying and Li Yunsheng walked into the tavern tacitly, and ordered a pot of chrysanthemum wine, a dish of sauced beef, and a dish of peanuts.

Who would have thought that the former emperor and monk Shuling would secretly come to a small tavern to drink.

But today, it is also the current emperor and Shang Shuling, but with the same identity, but a different person.

Since the wall of the West Market was demolished, this tavern faces the street.

The two sat close to the street, their hands still reluctant to let go.

Even though the empress' palms were a little itchy, she couldn't bear to scratch them.

She secretly told herself to hold on for a little longer, just for a little while, and let go when the wine was served.

But Li Yunsheng seemed to be able to read minds, and gently tapped her palm with his fingers.

After the wine was served, Li Yunsheng had no intention of letting go.

He raised the wine glass with his remaining left hand, made a toast to the Empress, and drank it down in one gulp.

The name of this wine is chrysanthemum white, which is one of the three whites of the capital.

After entering the mouth, it is full of floral and wine aromas, as well as a hint of medicinal aroma.

The chrysanthemum wine is really not easy to be intoxicated, and it has a soft entrance and a sweet finish, which is especially suitable for drinking in autumn and winter.

Seeing that he didn't let go, Jiang Qingying sighed inwardly, and let go when the sauced beef came up.

Neither of them noticed that Cui Yan and his wife were walking towards them on the street.

Madam Cui saw Li Yunsheng sitting in the tavern and the woman sitting beside him from a long distance away.

That red dress was too eye-catching among the crowd.

Madam Cui hammered Cui Yan's arm hard as if she had discovered important news.

"Mister, Mr. Mr.!!!"

Cui Yan endured the pain in his arm and responded hastily.

"what happened?"

Madam Cui pointed to Li Yunsheng at Qinji Tavern.

"Look quickly, Mr. Li!"

"What a surprise to see Li Xiang—"

At first, Cui Yan still had a face of indifference, seeing Li Xiang on the street on the Double Ninth Festival, what a fuss there was.

But when he saw the woman sitting next to Li Yunsheng, he stopped abruptly in the middle of the conversation.

It is not uncommon to meet Li Xiang on the street, but it is very unusual to meet Li Xiang holding a woman's hand.

Since Li Yunsheng was holding the empress's hand, the two of them were not sitting opposite each other, but were sitting on both sides of a corner of the wine table.

At this time, the Empress happened to have her back to Cui Yan and his wife, and they only saw Li Yunsheng's profile.

In Cui Yan's cognition, the one in women's clothes can never be the empress.

After all, the female emperor always wears men's clothes for private visits in micro-services. This is not only a matter of preference, but also about the majesty of the emperor.

A woman's role as an emperor is already discussed by many people, and wearing a woman's attire is even more a source of discussion.

Therefore, he was very curious as to which woman Li Xiang was drinking with holding hands.

The happy couple glanced at each other and walked into the tavern quietly.

"Master Li."

"I've seen Mr. Li."

Since Li Yunsheng was in Weifu and he was in a tavern, Cui Yan and his wife did not call Li Xiang directly.

He heard someone greet Li Yunsheng, and the voice was so familiar.

Jiang Qingying, who had just taken a sip of wine, turned her head to take a look, and found that standing opposite her were Cui Yan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, and his wife.

My hand is still——

With this in mind, the empress spit out the wine in a gulp.

She immediately withdrew her hand from Li Yunsheng's in a panic, coughed several times in a row, and her face flushed.

It is one thing to declare sovereignty in front of others, but quite another to hold hands in front of one's own subjects.

Cui Yan seriously wanted to see which woman this was, and actually revived Li Xiang's heart.

After watching for a long time, Mrs. Cui recognized it first.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Although she recognized the empress, she didn't dare to say it directly.

On the one hand, it was outside, on the other hand, she could tell that the empress didn't want them to recognize it.

She regretted it very much now, why she saw Li Xiang in the crowd with sharp eyes.

Why couldn't she hold back her curiosity, and ran in with her husband.

She secretly pulled Cui Yan's sleeve, indicating that the occasion was wrong.

But when she pulled, Cui Yan recognized at this moment that it was the empress in women's clothing.

His eyes widened suddenly, and the word Your Majesty almost blurted out.

Jiang Qingying was afraid that he would yell "Your Majesty" in public, so she really might as well find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

Now she just wants to simply be Jiang Qingying, not the emperor of Dachu.

Before Cui Yan could speak, the Empress spoke first: "We two have a drink."

"No, no, no!"

As soon as the words fell, the empress immediately realized that she had said something wrong, and hurriedly denied and explained.

"Well, I, I, and the two of us are drinking here."
