Oh my god, I became the vicious stepmother of four villains

"Lu Haoran, meet you, Prince." The eldest grandson of the emperor did not reveal his identity, but just left this sentence inexplicably. However, Lu Haoran knew that the child in front of him, who was about the same age as him, was the son of a certain prince. Lu Ziren was close to the prince now, so he could only be the prince's child. The prince had only one son who was not much different in age from him.

But why did he appear here? What was his purpose in saying this to him?

Lu Haoran didn't have time to ask if he could ask about some of the taboos of the Emperor's eldest grandson's Imperial College, but in a blink of an eye, the Emperor's eldest grandson and his entourage were already submerged in the crowd and could no longer be seen.

"What is Taixue? Don't we all go to Guozijian to study? Why do we have to go to Taixue?" Lu Haojie asked in confusion.

Song Ruyi didn't understand what Imperial College was, but she was also curious about what the child said.

Because they were outside, Lu Haoran didn't dare to speak loudly, so he had to lower his voice to explain to his relatives, "The Imperial Academy is a school in the palace specially set up for the princes and grandchildren. The teachers who teach the princes and princesses are all the top teachers in Daliang, and they are all high-ranking officials in the court."

"Prince and grandson of the emperor, who was that just now..." When Song Ruyi heard Lu Haoran's words, she was shocked and her whole body went cold. The person she just saw was a prince and grandson of the emperor?

Song Ruyi had never met any important figures in his life.

She never thought that one day she would meet the princes and grandchildren of the emperor.

But she didn't expect that in just a short time since she came to the capital, she had already met many important figures and gained a lot of knowledge.

"Haoran, are you going to go to school with the princes and grandchildren?" Song Ruyi stared at Lu Haoran with wide eyes, her face full of disbelief.

"I don't know about this either. I need to ask my father for details. It has not been confirmed yet. I will tell you when it is confirmed. It is not appropriate to spread it now."

"Well, Ziren has to make the decision." Song Ruyi suppressed her surprise and walked back with Lu Haoran, Lu Yuwei and Lu Haojie.

Xia Yingying was in Lu Ziren's arms, floating in the sky with him.

But Xia Yingying did not close her eyes tightly like the others. Instead, she held Lu Ziren's arm with one hand and looked around with her eyes wide open with curiosity.

Xia Yingying saw the busy flow of people and traffic in the capital city, and also saw the people of the capital city walking at night. The smell of fireworks and the chilly wind searched Xia Yingying's face.

There are no lanterns on the bridge, but lovers walk hand in hand across the Yuanding Bridge.

Lu Ziren and Xia Yingying were not very far away from each other. The dim light from the lanterns shone on Xia Yingying's fair and soft face from below, and her pores and skin texture were all clearly visible.

Especially those rouge-stained lips, which look like a plump, juicy cherry, as if wanting to lead people up and gently taste its deliciousness.

Lu Ziren hugged Xia Yingying and was attracted by her gentle and beautiful charm at the moment. Lu Ziren's heart was beating uncontrollably.

Even though he wanted to truly possess Xia Yingying very much, now was not the right time. He had to wait until Xia Yingying was willing.

Lu Ziren silently observed every expression on Xia Yingying's face. Her eyebrows sometimes relaxed and sometimes unfurled. Her lips slightly pursed and slightly opened. Every movement and expression showed her surprise and confusion, and even a bit of bewilderment and sudden enlightenment.

"What's wrong?" Lu Ziren couldn't help asking when he saw Xia Yingying frowning.

"Nothing. I was just a little surprised to see so many people on the bridge and the unique scenery today." Xia Yingying expressed her feelings to Lu Ziren.

"If you like watching it, I'll hold you and do it again." Lu Ziren took the initiative to invite Xia Yingying.

A gust of wind blew, and Xia Yingying couldn't help but rub her face in Lu Ziren's warm embrace. Xia Yingying's soft face rubbed against Lu Ziren's chest through the cloth. Lu Ziren could clearly feel the coldness and softness on Xia Yingying's face.

Lu Ziren's body stiffened slightly, but fortunately he managed to steady himself in time and did not fall to the ground with Xia Yingying.

Seeing that Xia Yingying was staring outside intently, Lu Ziren slowed down his pace so that Xia Yingying could see the night view clearly.

But no matter how long it takes, the end of this bridge will always fall to the ground.

As soon as Lu Ziren reached the end of the bridge, he asked Xia Yingying if she wanted to take another look.

"Wasn't the time just now too short? Do you want to watch it again?"

When they reached the ground, the tenderness in his arms had quietly left him, leaving only the embrace that had not yet been cooled by the wind. Lu Ziren felt as if all his efforts were in vain for a moment.

"No need, reading it once is enough." Xia Yingying shook her head.

"Don't you like watching it very much? I have enough endurance and skills to watch it all day long. If you want to watch it here all night, I will accompany you." Lu Ziren was worried that Xia Yingying would think he didn't have enough physical strength.

"No need. We have seen it once and have seen enough. The scenery is always like this. If you want to come again in the future, you can come and see it anytime. By the way, we have eaten Yuanxiao and crossed the Yuanding Bridge. What else can we do next?"

Xia Yingying didn't make any travel guide before going out, because she was busy with her family's affairs and had no time to look up travel guides.

So Xia Yingying knew nothing about going out for fun. Since Lu Ziren had invited her to go out for fun together, he must have made some travel plans. So it was natural for Xia Yingying to ask Lu Ziren about it.

"There's a teahouse up ahead that's performing the hottest play. If you want to watch it, you can go together." Lu Ziren recommended it to Xia Yingying.

"Okay." Xia Yingying nodded.

She has never watched ancient operas, so she can take a look at the differences between them and modern ones.

Lu Ziren bought the tickets and took Xia Yingying to sit in the private room.

"This play is very famous. I heard that this is a new actor from the troupe. The singing style is very novel and the story is also interesting."

"That's not the case. I like Du Liniang's line the most: 'What can we do about the beautiful scenery and the beautiful weather? Whose yard can we enjoy the pleasure of?'"

"Me too, I also want to find a husband like Liu Mengmei and a love like Du Liniang."

"Have you finished reading?"

"No, I'm watching it for the third time."

"I haven't finished reading it yet." The young lady said this with an obviously disappointed tone.

Xia Yingying was listening to the two young ladies. She was very surprised. Du Liniang and Liu Mengmei, isn't this Tang Xianzu's "The Peony Pavilion"? How did this play appear here? Could it be that some other time travelers brought this book here?

Xia Yingying was extremely confused.

Just then, the waiter came to bring tea and cakes to Xia Yingying, and Xia Yingying asked:

"Excuse me, will you perform the Kunqu opera Peony Pavilion here?"

"Yes, it will be performed soon. Please wait a moment, ma'am." The waiter didn't care about Xia Yingying's question at all.

Xia Yingying was completely dumbfounded.

This is the real "Peony Pavilion".

"When did your play start?" Xia Yingying continued to ask.

"Three months ago." said the waiter.

Xia Yingying frowned after hearing this.

"What's wrong, Yingying?" Seeing that Xia Yingying was in a bad mood, Lu Ziren immediately asked about Xia Yingying's situation.

"It's okay, I'm just a little curious about drama." Xia Yingying said.

"That's easy. After our sister Qingqing finishes singing, you can ask for her autograph. She wrote this opera." The waiter continued Xia Yingying's words.

Xia Yingying was even more excited after hearing what the waiter said.
