Chapter 271: The Imperial Capital in Secret: The Fireworks Anecdote between the Lord and the Chief o

After the enthronement ceremony was successfully concluded, the days quietly entered the warm spring. The inside and outside of the Great Chu Palace were full of flowers and vitality.

One day, after dealing with a mountain of memorials, Li Tian suddenly felt exhausted. His brows were furrowed, and he was rubbing his temples, his face full of fatigue.

Liu Ruobing happened to come to report on the guard rotation.

Seeing Li Tian's exhausted face, she felt distressed and suggested softly:

"Your Majesty, we have been busy with government affairs recently. Why don't you take advantage of this beautiful spring day to take a walk outside the palace and relax?"

Li Tian raised his eyes, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he nodded in response:

"That's great. It will be more fun to have you along."

The two of them walked out of the palace in casual clothes.

The streets of the imperial capital were bustling with people coming and going, shops lined up along the street, and the sounds of hawking could be heard one after another.

Li Tian took a deep breath, his face full of satisfaction, feeling the atmosphere of fireworks:

"I haven't felt this comfortable for a long time, Ruobing. Today, you should put aside your status as the head of the imperial guards and enjoy the magnificent scenery of the imperial capital."

Liu Ruobing nodded slightly, a relaxed smile on her face. Although she looked relaxed, she was still vigilantly paying attention to her surroundings, her eyes revealing her usual concentration and sharpness.

They passed by a silk shop, and the colorful silks in the shop attracted Li Tian's attention.

As soon as the two stepped into the store, a graceful woman came to greet them.

She had curved eyebrows and a warm smile on her face. She was Su Sanniang, the owner of the silk shop.

"My two guests, please come in! The silks in our shop are carefully selected from all over the country. The texture and color are first-class."

Li Tian walked into the store and casually picked up a piece of red silk embroidered with peonies. He looked at Liu Ruobing with admiration in his eyes:

"This silk is of fine quality and bright in color. It is suitable for making some clothes for Wanqiu and Ruyan."

Liu Ruobing raised the corner of her mouth and responded with a faint smile:

"Your Majesty is thoughtful, and the two ladies will surely be happy."

Li Tian waved his hand gently with a gentle smile on his face:

"Ruobing, today we are traveling incognito, so let's put aside the palace rules and identities. Don't call me Your Majesty anymore. Just call me Brother Tian. This way you will feel more comfortable."

Liu Ruobing was slightly startled, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she regained her composure in an instant.

After hesitating for a moment, she called out softly with a hint of shyness on her face:

"Brother Tian...but I am afraid that addressing him like this would be beneath your majesty's dignity."

Li Tian looked at Liu Ruobing, a smile appeared in the corners of his eyes:

"It's okay. Outside this palace, without His Majesty and the captain of the guards, there are only you and me. Such a relaxing time is rare."

At this time, Su Sanniang came over and said with a smile:

"Oh, look at how much this gentleman cares about the girl. This red silk is well chosen. It's the perfect gift for the girl!"

Li Tian was about to explain, but then he thought of his identity as a secret servant, curled his lips, and agreed with a smile.

Then, he picked up a piece of emerald green silk embroidered with bamboo, his eyes sparkling with excitement, and gestured in front of Liu Ruobing:

"This color is fresh and matches your usual heroic demeanor. Buy it and make you a dress."

Liu Ruobing's cheeks flushed slightly, and her eyes were touched. She quickly declined:

"Brother Tian, ​​I can't do that. How can I trouble you to choose silk for me? I..."

Li Tian frowned slightly, pretending to be displeased, and interrupted Liu Ruobing:

"Why, you don't appreciate my kindness? Just listen to me today, enjoy this leisurely life, and forget about all those red tapes."

Liu Ruobing looked at Li Tian's sincere expression, a touch of emotion flashed in her eyes, her heart warmed, and she nodded gently:

"Okay, Brother Tian, ​​I'll be disrespectful then."

After saying that, she took the emerald green silk, gently stroked the delicate material with her fingers, the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously, and her eyes were full of smiles.

Su Sanniang watched from the side and couldn't help but admire:

"Young Master and Young Lady are a perfect match, and they are a delight to behold. Consider these two rolls of silk as a gift to you two, and I'll give you a 20% discount!"

Li Tian thanked him with a smile, a happy smile on his face.

He paid the money, and happily left the silk shop with Liu Ruobing, taking the silk, and continued strolling on the bustling streets of the imperial capital.

After leaving the silk shop, the two continued walking along the busy street.

Not far away, a melodious sound of stringed instruments came, as moving as the gurgling of water.

Li Tian's eyes lit up, and he was very interested. He raised his hand and pointed to the source of the sound:

"Ruobing, go and take a look, maybe there will be something interesting to watch."

The two followed the crowd to a built stage.

On the stage, an actor in colorful clothes was dancing with his sleeves and singing a sentimental tune.

The audience was packed with people and cheers were endless.

Li Tian and Liu Ruobing found a corner and stood there, both with intoxicated looks on their faces, immersed in this folk art feast.

After the song was over, everyone was still not satisfied. Li Tian couldn't help but applaud and cheer, his face full of admiration.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the crowd. Several thug-like people were pushing and shoving in the crowd, and one of them accidentally bumped into Liu Ruobing.

Liu Ruobing subconsciously stretched out her hand to steady her body. A hint of coldness flashed across her eyes and her face darkened.

Li Tian frowned slightly when he saw this. Just as he was about to speak, Liu Ruobing gently tugged at his sleeve and signaled him with her eyes not to say anything.

Those thugs were completely unaware and continued to rampage through the crowd, causing complaints from the surrounding people.

Liu Ruobing whispered to Li Tian, ​​with a hint of anger in her eyes:

"Brother Tian, ​​these people are too unreasonable. I will go and teach them a lesson."

Li Tian nodded, with trust in his eyes:

"Okay, but don't reveal your identity."

Liu Ruobing quietly approached the thugs, and when they were pushing others again, she lightly hooked her foot, causing the leading thug to stagger and almost fall.

He was furious and his face flushed red. He turned around and was about to explode, but he saw that Liu Ruobing had a calm expression, but her eyes revealed an inviolable aura.

"Keep an eye on it as you walk!"

The thug shouted viciously.

Liu Ruobing snorted coldly, her eyes full of disdain:

"You are obviously the ones causing trouble here, and you still have the nerve to shout."

The thugs saw that Liu Ruobing was agile and was a cultivator, and Li Tian was beside her.

Although they were unwilling, they did not dare to act rashly. They squeezed out of the crowd and left, cursing.

The people around cast grateful glances at them.

Li Tian walked forward and looked at Liu Ruobing with a smile, his eyes full of praise:

"Ruobing, you are really amazing. You subdued these people in just a few moves."

Liu Ruobing's cheeks were slightly red, with a modest smile on her face:

"It's just a small matter. Brother Tian, ​​thank you for the compliment."

After resolving the incident, the two continued to stroll around.

As I passed by a snack stand, the steaming dumplings exuded an enticing aroma.

Li Tian smiled, his eyes lit up instantly:

"Ruobing, try this street food, it has a unique flavor."

As he spoke, he pulled Liu Ruobing to sit in front of the stall and ordered two servings of steamed dumplings.

While enjoying the delicious steamed dumplings, the two of them watched people coming and going on the street, with satisfied expressions on their faces, enjoying this rare leisure time.

On the bustling streets of the imperial capital, Li Tian and Liu Ruobing blended into the crowd, feeling the various aspects of life of the people of Da Chu, which also gave Li Tian more insights into governing the country.
