In the Ming Dynasty 1498, my restaurant connects two worlds.

Chapter 114: He was still recognized.

I can't sleep, and I can't see my teacher. Where can I go?

"How about we go take a look around the Forbidden City?"

"It's not impossible."

Zhu Youtang and Song Xiaoyi hit it off immediately and approached Mr. Wu, expressing their desire to visit the Forbidden City.

"You two, shouldn't you change your clothes?"

"Let's not change it. Changing it back and forth is too much trouble. There are plenty of people wearing ancient costumes when visiting the Forbidden City these days."

Wu Fei drove the three of them to the main gate of the Forbidden City on Chang'an Avenue, dropped them off, and then went back. Song Xiaoyi and Old Wu, along with Zhu Youcheng, only realized at the gate that they needed to buy tickets!

Tickets cost 40 yuan.

Advance booking is required.

"I—do I need to buy a ticket to go back to my own home?"

"You need to make an appointment?!"

"Don't worry, I'll make a call and have someone come out and take us in."

The three waited in an inconspicuous spot to the side of the main entrance, waiting for a staff member to come out and greet them.

However, the Ming Dynasty attire of the two still attracted the attention of tourists, especially Zhu You, who was dressed in a formal Ming Dynasty outfit. The key point was that it was made of top-quality material, which, combined with his physique, made him more and more handsome!

Tourists would occasionally sneak out their phones to take pictures, and some bolder girls even went up to ask if they could take a photo together, but Song Xiaoyi blocked them all.

When the staff of the Palace Museum came out and guided the three of them inside, Zhu Youmo unconsciously walked in a "going home" posture because he was walking on the central axis. What's more, he walked in a very proper manner, and the other tourists were stunned by his imposing manner and unconsciously made way for him.

"Hey, you tourist in ancient costume over there! Don't walk along the central axis!"

"Don't look! I'm talking to you! The central axis is for emperors to walk on, are you an emperor?!"

"I am the Emperor!"

"Tch! It really is true, please move away from the central axis!"

Song Xiaoyi quickly stepped forward, trying to pull him away from the center line, but couldn't budge him.

Other tourists ahead turned around curiously and then quickly moved aside, noticing the two conspicuous figures dressed in Ming Dynasty attire!

Many tourists visit the Forbidden City dressed as ancient people, but most wear Hanfu. Very few wear Ming Dynasty clothing, and even fewer wear clothing as well-fitting and luxurious as Zhu Youcheng's. As a result, more and more tourists gather around to take photos.

"Brother Zhu, stop hesitating! Hurry up—it's killing me!"

Song Xiaoyi and Wu Lao followed behind, pushing Zhu Youtang through the Meridian Gate and the Gate of Supreme Harmony, until they reached the steps of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. When they could no longer push him, Zhu Youtang stopped.

"My Hall of Supreme Harmony—how did it become like this—"

"Brother Zhu, hundreds of years have passed—"

"Xiao Yi, bringing him to the Forbidden City is really not a good idea."

"I've noticed it too. After being emperor for so many years, he has such an imposing presence. Here, Brother Zhu is truly the emperor himself!"

"Let's browse around quickly, or maybe I should take it home. I'm afraid I'll really be exposed—"

What I feared most came to pass.

The minor disturbance from the entrance to the Hall of Supreme Harmony shouldn't have attracted Dean Shan's attention, but his staff said, "The two people dressed in Ming Dynasty attire are Expert Wu."

"Expert Wu? Old Wu? I'll go take a look."

Standing on the steps, Shan Xiangji looked down at Zhu Youcheng. He had originally intended to find that old man Wu Dalei, but his first glance was drawn to Zhu Youcheng's red outfit. It was just too perfect!

"Zhu————"

At the bottom of the steps, a figure blocked the view of the Hall of Supreme Harmony in front of him. Who dares to stand in my way!

"one----"

"It's over!"

"I knew I shouldn't have come—"

"Longevity? —"

"Teacher~~"

Two people, spanning three centuries, finally embraced tightly together.

"Alas, since we cannot stop it, we might as well accept fate. Old Wu, look at the sky, it was sunny just now, but it looks like—it's going to snow—"

"It's snowing!"

"No way! It's really snowing!!"

Before Song Xiaoyi could finish speaking, his words came true; the sky suddenly changed, from sunny to cloudy, and in the blink of an eye, light snow began to fall, quickly turning into heavy snow.

The entire Forbidden City scenic area was abuzz with excitement.

"Shou! It really is Zhu Shou! I'm not dreaming, am I? Shou'er—"

"Teacher! It's me! Zhu Shou has come to see you—"

Who is this old man? Hugging this cosplayer on these steps??

More and more people gathered around, watching the commotion and recording videos with their phones. Old Wu quickly stepped forward, lowering his voice, "Old Dan—"

"It's crowded here, shall we go somewhere else?"

"Find a secluded room, one without surveillance cameras or recordings."

"Okay—okay—follow me—"

The three followed Dean Shan as they fled the bustling center and arrived at an office.

"The Crown Prince's Palace —"

"Huh, how did you know this was the Crown Prince's palace?"

"This is the Crown Prince's palace—"

"Old Dan, is it convenient to talk here?"

"Come with me, this is my temporary rest room, no one usually comes here."

"Old Wu, how did you find Zhu Shou—wait! You all conspired to lie to me?? Zhu Shou drowned, he didn't go missing—"

"But—this feeling can't be faked. Who exactly are you? Old Wu wouldn't joke like this!"

"I was wondering why you suddenly showed up."

"I heard from the staff that there was a small disturbance at the Meridian Gate, and coincidentally, the person who caused the disturbance was brought by Old Wu. I'm curious to see what kind of trouble you, Old Wu, are up to—"

"It really is fate—"

"Old Dan, if I told you he's Zhu Shou, would you believe me?"

"I don't believe it, but I also believe it—"

"teacher----"

"This story is a long one—"

One hour later.

After Song Xiaoyi and Wu Lao finished telling the story, Shan Xiangji no longer believed it.

"I still don't believe it, Lao Wu. You made up such a bizarre story and found two people to fool me—"

"You say you are Zhu Shou. I remember something. If you can say it, I will believe you."

-

"Teacher, please ask."

"—The afternoon before Zhu Shou's accident, I was sighing over a cultural relic when he said something to comfort me: 'I can remind you, it concerns an important national treasure.'"

"Teacher Shan, is it the Yongle Encyclopedia?"

"Xiao Yi, don't interrupt!"

"Xiao Yi is right, it's the Yongle Encyclopedia. I told my teacher back then that if I ever had the chance to go to the Ming Dynasty, I would definitely preserve the original copy of the Yongle Encyclopedia for the country!"

"Yes! That's it! Now I can confirm that you really are Zhu Shou!"

"But did you keep your promise to your teacher?"

"Teacher, I did it!"

"I don't believe it!"

"You old codger, all you want is to go through the passage to see the Ming Dynasty, right? Would it kill you to just say so?"

"Fine, I'll just say it! I want to see that magical time-space portal! If I can't see it, then everything you're saying is a lie!"

"Xiao Yi, what do you mean?"

"Actually, it's not impossible to go to the passageway of the Yongle Encyclopedia, but it's best to wait until night. There are too many tourists there during the day."

"It's alright, no need to wait until tonight. The courtyard house on Beichizi Street that you mentioned belongs to my niece, and I have the key to the gate."
