Dinner was taken back to the main house.

Without asking anyone for help, Gu Mingheng put the dishes into the food box while Mingjin was making the longevity noodles. After Mingjin finished making the longevity noodles, he took the covered porcelain pot and put them in another food box.

During this time, Mingjin also washed her hands and took off the apron around her waist.

"Let's go."

Gu Mingheng happened to have installed it as well.

"Let me take one." Ming Jin saw him holding one in each hand and took the initiative to speak.

But how could Gu Mingheng give in?

He felt that this thing was heavy and didn't want Mingjin to suffer any more.

Cooking is hard enough for her.

"No, it's heavy." He refused Ming Jin.

Ming Jin looked at him and smiled, but didn't insist.

The two of them went out together, and there was no one in the yard.

Ming Jin walked side by side with Gu Ming Heng, glanced at him, and asked him, "Did you drive everyone away?"

She remembered that when Gu Mingheng had not arrived just now, there were still quite a few people gathered in the yard, and the chefs in charge would occasionally look inside to ask if she needed anything.

Afraid that she would accidentally set the kitchen on fire.

Gu Mingheng hummed, but did not deny it.

But originally, he just wanted them to go away.

As we were talking, someone came over.

It was the kitchen steward who had just spoken to Gu Mingheng. He came over from a distance, trotting over. After greeting Mingjin and Gu Mingheng, he hurriedly said, "Your Highness, let me carry it."

Gu Mingheng glanced at Mingjin and asked her what she meant.

Mingjin shook his head.

She wanted to walk alone with Gu Mingheng, as it was always inconvenient to walk with someone else.

After Gu Mingheng knew what she meant, he said to the steward, "No need, we will go back by ourselves."

He said so.

How dare the steward refute? He stepped aside again and bowed to ask them to leave.

Mingjin and Gu Mingheng walked on the blue brick path.

"How is His Majesty?" Ming Jin asked Gu Mingheng as they walked. She knew that he had entered the palace today.

Gu Mingheng did not hide it either.

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt someone holding his arm. Although he could not feel the warmth from his arm because of the layers of clothes, Gu Mingheng still felt it immediately.

The words that were about to come out suddenly stopped at the throat.

He lowered his eyes and looked down.

Sure enough, he saw Mingjin holding his arm.

"Why, the prince won't let me hold your arm?" Ming Jin obviously also saw the stunned look on Gu Mingheng's face.

They held hands.

This is the first time I've seen someone holding arms like this.

She knew that Gu Mingheng was surprised, so she said this on purpose. But it was not enough and she looked like she was going to pull her arm back.

"That's it."

When Gu Mingheng saw her arm move, he immediately panicked.

"I'm not not giving it to you. I'll give it to you." He said this hastily. Fearing that she would really pull it away, he quickly used his arm to clamp Mingjin's arm.

If he didn't have things in both hands, he would have reached out to hold Mingjin's hand to stop her from leaving.

At this moment, he saw Mingjin's arm was clamped by himself.

Gu Mingheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard a chuckle in his ear.

Gu Mingheng looked in the direction of the voice and saw Ming Jin looking at him with a pair of crescent-shaped eyes and smiling.

Gu Mingheng looked at this scene, what was there that he didn't understand? He knew that she was teasing him on purpose again.

But he was not angry.

Seeing her smiling happily, I feel happy too.

"Let's go. The noodles will get bloated and won't taste good if we go back." Ming Jin stopped making a fuss and obediently took Gu Mingheng's arm and continued walking forward.

Gu Mingheng said okay, and then responded to Mingjin's previous words.

"Royal brother's health is much worse than before." When Gu Mingheng said this, he couldn't help but sigh.

Today he went to the palace to see his brother, and found that his brother's temples were covered with a lot of white hair, and he looked much older.

First it was Mingyue Tower, then the fights among the sons, and then An Cheng's death...

All these things suddenly came upon me all at once. My royal brother is also a human being, how could he not feel anything at all?

He heard that when Changming left, he didn't even go to say goodbye, but just kowtowed to Concubine Li, then left Kyoto with his first wife.

When the royal brother talked to him about this this morning, he could not hide his sadness in his words.

It can be seen that Changming's attitude still made him sad.

But Gu Mingheng didn't know how to persuade him.

Suddenly, someone pinched my arm gently.

Gu Mingheng lowered his eyes and saw Mingjin looking at him with concern. His originally worried heart suddenly melted under Mingjin's gaze.

He knew that Mingjin was worried about him, and he also knew that she was comforting him.

Gu Mingheng's expression was gentle.

He told Mingjin "it's okay" and looked into the distance.

That's the direction of the palace.

"It will get better slowly."

Ming Jin didn’t know what would happen in the future, but at least now Gu Changming and Gu Changxuan had both lost the qualification to compete for the crown prince. Unless something happened to the crown prince in the future, it would never be their turn to take the throne.

Without Gu Changxuan stirring up trouble in the capital.

I guess what happened in the past will never happen again.

Thinking of this, Mingjin breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. She still held Gu Mingheng's arm and walked with him.

He looked in the direction of the palace.

But Ming Jin was looking at him: "Well, it will get better slowly."

In this life, she would never let Gu Mingheng "die" in such an unclear way again.

The two of them had dinner in the main house.

Not to mention Gu Mingheng was surprised, even Eunuch An was very surprised.

He originally thought that the princess was just joking when she said she would cook, but he didn't expect that the princess would actually cook such a table, and the dishes looked very delicious.

The prince ate more deliciously than ever before.

While eating, Mingjin asked Gu Mingheng: "Do you have anything to do later?" She wondered whether Gu Mingheng would go out for a drink with Yuan Yu and the others.

After all, today is his birthday.

There's no guarantee that he wouldn't want to have a good time with his friends.

He has been accompanying her all the time these days and seldom goes out. The last time Yuan Yu came to the palace for dinner, he was quite sarcastic about this.

Mingjin doesn't care about these things.

If Gu Mingheng wanted to go out drinking with his friends, she wouldn't say anything.

But Gu Mingheng still shook his head.

Yuan Yu and the others did mention it, but Gu Mingheng was thinking about Ming Jin and did not agree.

Besides, in these troubled times, it’s not good to be too lively.

Seeing that he was unwilling, Ming Jin didn't say anything.

But after all, it is Gu Mingheng’s birthday, so it’s not good to do nothing.

Ming Jin thought about it, and suddenly said, "Then let's go out for a walk later."

In fact, she had never really visited Kyoto in her two lifetimes. The last time she went out was during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Gu Mingheng is also by my side.

Come to think of it, it’s really fate.

"Okay, where do you want to go?" Gu Mingheng said, and picked up a piece of sour plum duck for Mingjin.

He saw that Mingjin liked this dish very much.

"Anywhere is fine. We can go out in a carriage later and go wherever we see." She couldn't think of where to go for fun.

For Kyoto.

This is the place where she has lived for two lifetimes, but to be honest, Ming Jin is not very familiar with it.

When I was a kid, I followed the adults out to play.

When I grow up, even if I go out, I mostly go to a few places I often go. Normally, even if I go out, I just go directly to the place and rarely wander around without a purpose.

Gu Mingheng is not very familiar with shopping.

When I was young, I often went out to play, but it was just hunting and drinking. As for shopping, it was very rare.

Moreover, Kyoto has changed a lot over the years.

Several places he often visited when he was young have undergone considerable changes.

Listen to Mingjin say this.

Gu Mingheng didn't say anything, just nodded in agreement.

With Mingjin by her side, she can go wherever she wants.

Wait until dinner is finished.

Mingjin and Gu Mingheng set off in a horse-drawn carriage. Accompanying them today were Wu Ji and Ying Ge. The two drove the carriage outside, while Mingjin and Gu Mingheng sat inside the carriage.

The car curtain was lifted.

Since Gu Mingheng had given instructions beforehand, Wu Ji drove the carriage slowly all the way, allowing the two masters inside to enjoy the beautiful scenery outside.

Kyoto is worthy of being the capital of the emperor.

There were lights everywhere and shops lined up. Even though what happened at Mingyue Tower happened before, people are actually very forgetful. Before, they were so scared that they didn't even dare to go to tall buildings. When they approached those tall buildings, they were suspicious, fearing that another tragedy like the Mingyue Tower would happen again. But now they have started to talk and laugh again.

Mingjin sat in the carriage.

There are vendors selling things on both sides of the street, and pedestrians are walking among them, men, women, young and old, walking together.

On the tall buildings on both sides, there are scholars full of vigor and ambition, and there are dancers dancing to the music.

The prosperity of the Daqian era was all before their eyes.

Ming Jin actually hadn't yet, and now he had a good look at the night view of Kyoto, and he was dazzled by it.

Gu Mingheng was sitting next to her.

While Mingjin was looking at the scenery outside, he was looking at her.

Looking at Mingjin's bright eyes looking outside, the lights outside illuminated his eyes.

Suddenly, he held Mingjin's hand and said, "After we get married, we can slowly walk all the way to the north. There are many prefectures we pass by, and each one has different scenery. We can slowly walk through them."

He wanted to make up for what she had missed in the past ten years as much as possible.

Ming Jin was indeed surprised when he heard this.

She turned around, looked at Gu Mingheng and said, "Okay!"

Now that Mingyao is gone and Gu Changxuan is gone too, the things she worried about will no longer happen. She can really go out for a good walk with Gu Mingheng.

She actually wanted to leave the hustle and bustle here.

She was always worried that if Yixian stayed here any longer, it would arouse the prince's suspicion.

The carriage continued to move forward.

Suddenly, Mingjin saw a place and said to Gu Mingheng, "Let's go there."

Gu Mingheng followed what Ming Jin said and looked forward.

See is a river.

At this time, there were several small boats parked on the river.

"Want to take a boat ride?"

Gu Mingheng asked Mingjin.

Mingjin nodded.

She smiled and said to Gu Mingheng: "I have never seen the night view of Kyoto by boat."

What's more, she saw many lanterns on the river.

She had heard that these lanterns were used for making wishes, and she wanted to buy one for Gu Mingheng.

Gu Mingheng naturally would not refuse Mingjin's request.

When he heard Ming Jin say that he wanted to go, he spoke to Wu Ji outside.

Soon, the carriage stopped at a place with few people.

Outside, Wu Ji put the footstool in place.

Gu Mingheng didn't ask Yingge for help, and helped Mingjin get off the carriage by himself.
