Early summer nights.

Before nightfall, the two sides of the Bianhe River began to be lively and noisy all night.

On both sides of the river, the best fireworks buildings in the city are gathered, and the Fan Tower is the largest and most luxurious of them. The five-storey building at the entrance is a restaurant. Climb to the top pavilion and you can look down on the imperial city. After passing through the lobby on the first floor, you will come to the private room at the back to receive distinguished guests. There are flybridge railings between the three four-storey carved buildings, and the light and shade are connected. In the corridor, there are beaded curtains or pale pink light gauze, and at night, all the lights and candles upstairs are bright, which is particularly beautiful. In the middle of the small building is a large courtyard with a pond, rockery and a pavilion. Walking through the courtyard to the right, there are several small courtyards in the courtyard, which are clean and elegant. This is the boudoir of the girls in the building. To the left of the courtyard is the kitchen and where the people live.

Yang Ruoning's room is a small guest room converted from a firewood room next to the kitchen. Because it's next to the kitchen, it's as hot as a steamer every night when the kitchen goes out, and it's breathless. Yang Ruoning didn't complain, after all, this was the cheapest place she could find that met her needs.

Yang Ruoning has been living here for more than a month. After arriving in the capital that day, the little emperor said that he would immediately take the money and send it to her, but Yang Ruoning waited at the dock for a whole day and he didn't show up. There are many patrols and arrests in the capital, and she doesn't dare to wait any longer in order to avoid people's eyes. Penniless for a few days, she had to look around for a place to work. Looking around, I found this Fan Tower. Say yes to the shopkeeper and exchange the workmanship for accommodation.

What Yang Ruoning has to do is very simple - wash the dishes. The wine and food in Fan Lou are excellent, and there are many diners who come and go every day. Together with five other girls, she was responsible for washing dishes in the yard behind the building.

Yang Ruoning found that this simple and repetitive work seemed to be very suitable for her. The process of cleaning dirty dishes also seems to wash away your bad mood.

The girls who washed the dishes together were just adults and had already married and had children. When they heard that Yang Ruoning was 26 years old but still single and unmarried, they all cast contemptuous or sympathetic glances at her.

They often get together at work, laughing and whispering about something while washing dishes. Yang Ruoning was washing dishes alone. Because firstly, she didn't know what to say to those girls, and secondly, she could secretly plug in her headphones and listen to music.

And today, they seem to have a particularly lively discussion on the topic of gossip.

Seeing that they were foaming at the mouth and excited, Yang Ruoning couldn't help but be a little curious. She took off her headphones and listened for a while, only to know that a certain general of Da Song had just returned to Beijing. This general is the adopted son of General Luo, and he has four out of twenty this year. At the age of seventeen, he was named the commander of the palace, and he was the feared god of war in the northern part of the Great Song. He was able to be martial and literate, and at the age of twenty, he became the leader of the palace. Of course, that wasn't enough to make the women of the city so excited. The most important thing is that this general is even more talented, and he has the title of "the most beautiful man in the capital". In recent years, the frontier has been determined, and the emperor specially recruited generals to return to the dynasty to take up posts. That's a big deal. Although he is only the adopted son of General Luo, he is always worse than other noble sons, but he can't help but be all-round in civil and military affairs and has excellent appearance, not to mention those unmarried ladies in the boudoir can't wait to make a promise to each other, even the big and small officials of the whole dynasty and the relatives of the emperor are full of energy, hoping to marry this young general with a bright future and become his own golden beetle son-in-law. However, the general also seems to have a confidante. Listening to them, that is Fan Lou's top brand - Hui Niang. Although Hui Niang also has the title of "Glamorous in the Capital", it is obvious that she and the general are a pair of talented women, but unfortunately she is only a fireworks girl after all, and she can't be a big lady anyway.

Sure enough, good-looking people are always the luckiest. This is an eternal truth.

After dinner time, it was Yang Ruoning's busiest time. The others went to the river to fetch water together, and at this moment only Yang Ruoning was left alone in the courtyard.

Suddenly, a girl walked into the courtyard. Look at the clothes like a maid entertaining guests in front. The maid seemed to be in the kitchen backyard for the first time. She looked at the dishes piled up in the wooden basin with disgust, and said impatiently, "Auntie, can you help me put away the dishes?" ”

Yang Ruoning was a little surprised, she had never gone to the front to collect the dishes. That's what the maids of the next level do. She pointed at herself, "Me? ”

The little girl frowned and looked Yang Ruoning up and down, and said angrily, "It's just you." I won't be able to find any other girls this time. They all went to the front hall to get busy. ”

Yang Ruoning stood up, wiped the water on her body with both hands, and followed her. As she walked, the little girl glanced back at her and instructed, "This girl and son are in the back room." The dishes were on the stone table in the courtyard. Hurry up and take it, don't let people see your dirty appearance. ”

Yang Ruoning was a little accustomed to her mean tone, she took a deep breath and said, "Okay." ”

The little girl led her to a remote courtyard. The courtyard is elegantly furnished and furnished more luxuriously. Yang Ruoning has heard that this is the small courtyard of the red-card Huiniang in the building.

The little girl took her to the place and turned and left. Yang Ruoning saw the dishes on the stone table in the courtyard at a glance, and she walked straight over with the wooden barrel.

Large and small dishes were placed on the table, and many dishes seemed to have not been touched. What a waste, Yang Ruoning thought as she poured some leftovers into a clean bowl, which were the daily food of their people. Yang Ruoning didn't mind, the chef of Fan Lou cooked a good dish, and she actually ate these leftovers very happily. Today, there is another blessing.

Xu heard movement outside the house, and the door suddenly opened, and a beautiful woman pushed the door out. When she saw Yang Ruoning, she frowned, but quickly returned to normal. "Auntie, please let someone bring some tea in a while." Her voice was soft and pleasant.

Yang Ruoning nodded hurriedly and sped up the movements in her hands. In a hurry, she looked up into the back room, and her eyes collided with the man in the room. The man had an astonishing look. He wore only a silk robe with the placket open to reveal his solid bronzed pecs. His gaze at her was cold and sharp. Yang Ruoning was stunned, she felt a little surprised.

At a glance, she recognized the man in front of her.

The black golden dragon robe in the image, the new emperor with an indifferent expression, how could she forget?

Why is he here?

He is the new emperor of the future, so what is his identity now?

Yang Ruoning felt that it was great luck that she could meet the two emperors. She thought as she walked to the kitchen backyard. She found the maid who prepared tea and told Hui Niang that she needed tea in the yard, so she went back to work.
