Travel through Shen Meizhuang to open the system and walk sideways in the harem

The journey from Beijing to Fujian is long, but fortunately there is the Grand Canal, so you can go from Beijing to Hangzhou, and then from Hangzhou to Fujian.

The journey was calm and peaceful.

On this day, the ship sailed to Hangzhou. It had been more than half a month from the capital to Hangzhou, and everyone looked very tired.

The emperor only brought along his personal guards such as Xia Ke and Zhen Heng, as well as a few court ministers on this trip. The group traveled light and did not attract much attention.

"Your Majesty, we have arrived in Hangzhou." Zhen Heng said softly.

The emperor nodded slightly: "Yes, I understand."

He stood up, walked to the bow of the ship, and looked at the prosperous scene in front of him, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

"Your Majesty, Hangzhou is so prosperous!" Zhen Yuandao exclaimed.

The emperor smiled and said, "Yes, there is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. Hangzhou has been a place that scholars and poets have longed for since ancient times."

After saying this, he stood at the bow, looked into the distance, and recited a poem, "The water is bright and beautiful when the weather is fine, and the mountains are misty and strange when it rains. If I were to compare the West Lake to Xi Shi, she would look beautiful with light or heavy makeup."

"Your Majesty is absolutely right. Hangzhou is indeed breathtakingly beautiful." Li Wei also stepped forward to flatter him.

The emperor smiled and said:

"The purpose of my trip to Fujian this time is to investigate the opening of the sea. You should stop calling me the emperor and call me Master Ai. The imperial concubine is Madam Ai. Since this is a private visit, don't alarm the local officials and feel the local customs and practices."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The emperor then said: "However, we are indeed tired after traveling for so many days. Let's stay in Hangzhou for a few days to rest and recuperate before we set off again!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Everyone knelt down to receive the order.

The emperor laughed. "Just now you said we should keep a low profile and go on a secret visit. Why are you kneeling again? Whoever kneels again will be punished by not being allowed to eat tonight!"

Shen Meimei was only focused on the beautiful scenery of Hangzhou. In the end, she only heard the emperor say the word "dinner". She asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, are we going to eat?"

She looked so cute that the emperor couldn't help but laugh and said, "Yes, I will take you to the most luxurious restaurant in Hangzhou for dinner. How about that?"

The emperor and the imperial concubine were joking with each other, but the ministers and guards didn't dare to interrupt. They just crouched down and kept silent.

Soon the boat docked, and a team of more than a dozen people was very conspicuous.

"Master, if we go with so many people together we might attract attention, so we'd better go separately. Leave Zhen Heng and Xia Qian to protect you, and the rest of you will form groups of three or five and meet at the ferry when it gets dark." Shen Meimei whispered.

The emperor nodded, "Madam, you are right!"

He immediately ordered Zhang Tingyu, Li Wei and others to take a group of people and leave separately. The emperor took Shen Meimei and Zhen Yuandao with him, and six or seven people strolled around the streets of Hangzhou.

Hangzhou is indeed worthy of its reputation. People of all races are walking on the streets. Shen Meimei even spotted two black people. It seems that the Qing Dynasty still has a great influence on the outside world. She checked with her mobile phone. At this time, the West widely used gunpowder in wars, while the Qing Dynasty was still in the era of cold weapons.

The emperor was curious and pointed at the black man and asked, "Mei'er, why do you think there are such black people in this world?"

Shen Meimei smiled and said:

"Your Majesty, this world is so big, there are naturally black people, white people, yellow people, and brown people."

"Then what kind of person will be born if a black person and a white person combine?" the emperor asked.

Shen Meimei: "Of course he is a brown person?"
