Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 130 Return to Kyoto

He immediately ordered the servant beside him to bring a clean large bowl, and then poured half a bowl of wine into it without hesitation.

As the wine was slowly poured into the bowl, the fruity aroma became increasingly intense, as if it were intoxicating him with its fragrance.

Wang Xuping couldn't wait to pick up the bowl and take a small sip. As soon as the wine entered his throat, he seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move.

It took him a while to come to his senses, but he didn't rush to swallow the wine in his mouth.

Instead, let the wonderful flavor linger and linger in your mouth, savoring its sweetness and mellow aroma repeatedly.

Su Yue sat leisurely in the spacious and comfortable carriage, her delicate face slightly flushed with joy.

Her bright, large eyes sparkled with excitement, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curved into a beautiful smile.

She happily tilted her body to one side, playfully tilting her small, adorable head.

He stared intently at the gleaming silver coins he had just earned.

Seeing their mistress so happy, Qiaoxiang and Qiaoyun stopped what they were doing and exchanged a knowing smile.

Then, they all turned around and looked at Su Yue with gentle and smiling eyes, their eyes full of love and affection for their mistress.

At this moment, even Dali, who was usually a bit slow-witted, seemed to have his mind become sharp again.

She looked at the silver in Su Yue's hand and thought to herself: I must work hard to earn money in the future and give all the silver to Su Yue.

Once the idea took hold, it quickly took root and sprouted in her heart like a seed.

Since leaving, Su Yue and her group have been traveling at a leisurely pace, enjoying themselves immensely.

Enjoying the scenery and buying things from my online store along the way, five days passed in the blink of an eye.

As dusk approached on the fifth day, the afterglow of the setting sun gently fell upon the earth like a thin golden veil.

From afar, the whole world seemed to be bathed in a warm and soft halo.

Just then, the carriage that Su Yue was riding in finally arrived at a place ten miles outside the capital city.

Su Yue did not inform the new emperor Mu Yuqing of her return beforehand, secretly planning to give him a big surprise.

So, the unassuming carriage slowly made its way toward the city gate.

The moment the wheels slowly rolled into the city gate, Su Yue was instantly stunned by the scene before her.

She blinked incredulously and looked again.

Shops lined both sides of the street, bustling with people, and shouts and calls of vendors rose and fell.

The shelves were filled with a dazzling array of goods;

Surprisingly, there were still quite a few street performers putting on amazing shows, drawing cheers from the onlookers from time to time...

What a prosperous and bustling scene!

Su Yue couldn't help but sigh inwardly: This Mu Yuqing really has some ability!

Look how bustling and lively Kyoto has become after only a few days of my absence!

Thinking of this, she was even more excited about meeting Mu Yuqing.

The carriage slowly came to a stop beside the bustling street, and the curtain was gently lifted.

A graceful and pretty young girl lightly jumped off the carriage.

She was Su Yue, wearing a light blue culotte, strolling curiously down the street.

Her eyes darted left and right, sometimes looking at the dazzling array of trinkets on this side, sometimes reaching out to touch the little things over there.

Suddenly, a clear and melodious cry reached her ears: "Candied hawthorn...candied hawthorn..." Not far away, a vendor was slowly walking towards her, carrying a straw target made of rice straw on his shoulder.

The straw target was densely covered with more than a dozen strings of bright red candied hawthorns. The crystal-clear sugar coating wrapped around the bright red, juicy hawthorns, which shimmered with an enticing luster in the setting sun, making one's mouth water.

Su Yue fell in love with the candied hawthorns at first glance. She quickly walked up to the vendor and said sweetly, "Boss, I want five!"

"Okay, okay!" The vendor's face immediately lit up with a smile when he saw a customer coming in.

He deftly took five strings of candied hawthorns from the straw target and happily handed them to Su Yue. "Here you go, girl, this is twenty-five copper coins."

At this moment, Qiaoxia, the maid who had been following behind Su Yue, hurriedly stepped forward, carefully counted out twenty-five copper coins from her purse, and quickly handed them to the vendor.

"Oh, perfect! Thank you, young lady! I hope you enjoy your meal. If you like it, please be sure to come back to my business next time!"

The vendor took the coins and said with a beaming smile. Then, he shouldered the straw target, turned and walked in another direction, continuing to call out to attract customers.

Su Yue, holding a candied hawthorn, happily distributed one skewer to each of the people around her.

Finally, she put the remaining skewer into her mouth and took a small bite.

However, at that very moment, a strong sour smell suddenly filled the air, hitting her head so hard it almost made her teeth fall out.

Despite this, Su Yue couldn't help but reveal a sweet smile.

This was the first time she had ever strolled through such a bustling and noisy street since she came into this world.

At this moment, Su Yue was like a cheerful little bird, flitting among the crowd, fully enjoying the novelty and excitement.

Before long, her spacious carriage was almost filled with all sorts of items.

The dazzling array of goods overwhelmed her; each item seemed to exude a unique charm, attracting her to buy them.

The bustling city of Kyoto is divided into two parts: the outer city and the inner city.

The outer city was a bustling commercial street, teeming with people and traffic.

The inner city was where the residences of officials and ministers were located, and it was much quieter than the outer city.

After Su Yue had finished exploring the outer city, her gaze inadvertently drifted to the boundary between the outer and inner cities.

Right there, a magnificent nine-story building stands prominently – the Star-Picking Tower.

It shines like a dazzling pearl under the sunlight.

Filled with curiosity, Su Yue strode toward the gate of the Star-Picking Tower.

Before she even got close, she noticed that not only were there imposing guards standing at the entrance, but also a large number of all sorts of people coming and going, making it quite a busy place.

As Su Yue approached the guard post at the entrance, she was about to ask a question when one of the guards suddenly knelt down on one knee and respectfully said, "This humble servant welcomes the returning Immortal Envoy!"

This sudden action startled Su Yue slightly, but a look of doubt immediately appeared on her face.
