Chapter 275 Mysterious Moon Romance

“Xi’er…you…” Meng Zhelan tried to find her voice, but found that her throat was tight.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. "What exactly is going on? What do you mean by 'past life'?"

Li Xi sighed softly, a hint of helplessness and confusion in her eyes.

“I don’t know how to explain it. At first, all of this was so unfamiliar to me. After waking up, I found myself in a completely different world, and everything around me was so unfamiliar. It took me a long time to adapt and slowly learn about some things about this era.”

Meng Zhelan listened quietly to Li Xi's story, her initial shock gradually replaced by curiosity.

She took Li Xi's hand. "We'll face this together, but now tell me about your world."

"Where we live is quite... "

The next morning, the three of them, feeling refreshed, went to the guest hall for breakfast. They had arranged to meet Qin Xiaolin to explore the surrounding area.

He had someone prepare the meal early in the morning, and as soon as the three of them sat down, he called the waiter to serve the dishes.

"Xiaoxi, Dr. Meng, come and try these potstickers." He called to the two of them.

He had visited Xuan Yue Kingdom several times under the guise of Feng Monian, so he knew quite a bit about what good food was available there.

The embassy staff were already used to him wearing a mask. "Young Master Feng, all the dishes you ordered have been served. Please enjoy your meal."

Sweetie sat to the side, head down, intently enjoying her food, chewing constantly.

The other three ate while discussing what they would be doing when they went out later.

Meng Zhelan was completely unaware of Prince An approaching them.

He saw Meng Zhelan chatting and laughing with the two men, and a surge of inexplicable jealousy welled up in his heart.

He strode toward them, his face grim.

Meng Zhelan was in the middle of a lively conversation when she suddenly felt a cold wind blow by.

Looking up, she saw Prince An standing in front of her, staring at her intently.

The four men immediately stood up and bowed respectfully: "Greetings, Prince An!"

Prince An nodded slightly, but when his gaze fell on Feng Monian, his tone became unusually respectful: "Master Feng, you are setting off so early, what important matter brings you here?"

After all, even the Emperor Emeritus treated Feng Monian with courtesy and respect, so Qi Yu naturally wouldn't dare to give Feng Monian a hard time.

As for Meng Zhelan, he really couldn't bear to show her a cold demeanor.

Therefore, he focused all his dissatisfaction and anger on Li Xi, making his face extremely gloomy when he looked at Li Xi.

Li Xi looked at him with a completely bewildered expression. When had she offended this esteemed Prince An again?

Li Xi touched her nose helplessly, wondering if she had been having bad luck lately, as she always seemed to be provoking this troublesome Prince An.

She smiled slightly, trying her best to remain respectful.

Feng Monian strode forward, blocking Li Xi's path. "Your Highness," he said, "I intend to take Young Master Li and Doctor Meng to see the most bustling parts of the capital. They are new here and very excited, so they have asked me to show them around. Your Highness, would you be interested in joining us?"

However, before Prince An could even give his consent...

The Empress Dowager then pulled him away, and said with a soft laugh, "Yu'er, have you forgotten? You must have forgotten that there are important things to do later, right? You absolutely cannot be late."

Upon hearing the Empress Dowager's words, Prince An felt somewhat helpless.

He had not forgotten this matter, but at this moment, his mind was entirely focused on Meng Zhelan, so he had no time to think about anything else.

However, faced with the Empress Dowager's urging, Prince An could not refuse.

He could only silently follow the Empress Dowager as she departed, his heart filled with reluctance and regret.

The Empress Dowager originally wanted to join Li Xi and the others to experience the excitement.

Although Lan'er was just a doctor from the common people, the Empress Dowager had long regarded her as her own granddaughter and doted on her.

The Empress Dowager also doted on her grandson, Qi Yu.

However, even so, the Empress Dowager would never do something as unreasonable as forcing Lan'er to become Qi Yu's concubine.

Before leaving, the Empress Dowager made sure to ask a few people to bring her some good food back.

Meng Zhelan did not look at Prince An once throughout the entire process, and remained silent with her head down.

Sweetie patted her on the back and asked with concern, "Miss Lan, let's eat quickly. Master Feng has many novelties here."

Just then, Shen Xu also came downstairs.

He became extremely excited upon seeing the group: "Are you all going out? You must take me with you!"

It turned out that they hadn't been away from Kyoto for long and were on their way.

Shen Xu must have accidentally ingested something, causing him to vomit and have diarrhea.

He had been listless and even missed the palace banquet last night.

It wasn't until early this morning that he finally regained some of his strength.

Li Xi looked at him with concern and asked, "Brother Shen, how are you feeling right now?"

Shen Xu smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Don't worry, I'm fine now. I'm just a little weak and need to rest and recuperate. But going out for a walk and breathing some fresh air might help my recovery."

Li Xi was relieved and nodded, saying, "That's good. We want to go see the most lively place here."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xu immediately said with great interest, "Speaking of these things, I suddenly feel much better. Wait for me, I'll have some breakfast first. He wants a bowl of porridge. It's better to eat light meals for the next couple of days."

After the four had eaten and drunk their fill, they rented two horse-drawn carriages.

The coachman was a local know-it-all, and he led a few people around the capital.

The streets are lined with shops of all kinds, and colorful signs and flags flutter in the wind.

The shouts and noises rose and fell, creating a lively scene of everyday life.

"The people here live such a prosperous life," Li Xi remarked.

Qin Xiaolin nodded in agreement and smiled, "That's true. The thriving commerce here attracts merchants from all over to trade, making this city increasingly prosperous."

Suddenly, the carriage stopped, and the coachman's voice came: "Gentlemen, the most famous market in the city is just ahead. Would you like to get off and take a look?"

So the group got out of the car and entered the market.

The market was bustling with people, and the stalls displayed all kinds of goods, from exquisite jade artifacts to fresh fruits and vegetables.

The vendors enthusiastically called out to attract passersby.

Li Xi and Qin Xiaolin, along with their group, walked through the market.

Their pace was slow and leisurely, and they would stop from time to time to gaze at the dazzling array of strange objects.
