Shen Yuyao nodded in thanks and immediately took out some banknotes from her pocket.

She donated a lot of money to the Great Compassion Temple.

"Mother, I've prayed for the fortune. Can I go and have a vegetarian meal now?"

Xia Xiaoxian smiled coquettishly and patted her stomach: "Xiaoxian is so hungry!"

"Let's go! Let's eat. Mom is really hungry too."

Shen Yuyao smiled.

......

Xia Xiaoxian slept soundly in the carriage on the way from Dabei Temple to Yuelai Inn.

Her round belly stubbornly stuck out towards the sky, and her little mouth kept moving, as if she was still eating something delicious.

She eats with such delicious taste that a little saliva occasionally drips from the corners of her cute little mouth.

Zi Su covered her mouth and laughed, "Miss, look at this. If you don't know, you would think our little princess is enjoying some delicacies from the mountains and the sea."

Shen Yuyao also found it funny and cute.

Think about it carefully.

The vegetarian food at Dabei Temple is really delicious.

Especially the "Sweet and Sour Carp", it's so delicious!

Ma Sanbao drank two bowls of rice directly from that dish.

"Zi Su, I saw you went to the kitchen of Dabei Temple. Did you go there to learn how to cook that dish?" Shen Yuyao asked.

"Miss, I really can't hide anything from you."

Zi Su smiled and said, "Since the little princess likes it very much, I went to the kitchen to find the chef and learned how to make it."

"Miss, do you know what the carp is made of?"

Shen Yuyao thought about it carefully, but couldn't guess it.

She shook her head.

“It’s made of mashed yam.”

"Mashed yam?"

"Yes, first wash the yam paste, then place it on the steamer. Wait until it becomes soft and muddy, then shape it into a carp shape, and then pour some soul sauce on it, and it's done."

Shen Yuyao also repeated it silently in her heart.

Xia Xiaoxian also wants to learn how to cook the food she likes to eat.

......

The second day.

Early in the morning, Shen Yuyao was awakened by the noisy sounds coming from Yuelai Inn.

She looked at Xia Xiaoxian beside her. The child had returned from Dabei Temple yesterday and had been sleeping until now without waking up.

I slept very soundly.

Shen Yuyao didn't have the habit of staying in bed. She put on her clothes, but Zisu hadn't come yet.

Shen Yuyao went downstairs and asked the shopkeeper for some hot water. Just as she was about to wash up, she heard two gentle knocks on the door.

Shen Yuyao got up to open the door, and did not forget to look back to see if Xia Xiaoxian woke up.

The door opened and Ma Sanbao was standing at the door.

"My lady, I have something to tell you."

Ma Sanbao lowered his voice and asked, "The little princess hasn't woken up yet, right?"

Shen Yuyao nodded slightly, "Sanbao, come in and talk."

Ma Sanbao always felt that Shen Yuyao's voice was full of magic and always made people trust her.

He tiptoed into the room.

"My Lady, when you and the little princess went in to see the shopkeeper yesterday, I encountered a very strange thing in front of the temple gate."

Shen Yuyao raised her eyebrows.

"What's so strange?"

Ma Sanbao said, "Yesterday, there were a few people sneaking around the temple gate, as if they were looking for someone."

"They all held a portrait in their hands. Whenever they saw a woman, they would go up and remove her veil. Only after they had a clear look at her would they let her go."

"The meridians on those people's foreheads are bulging, and you can tell at a glance that they've practiced martial arts."

"Could it be that someone revealed the Empress's whereabouts, and those people are looking for you, the Empress?"

Shen Yuyao shook her head slightly, "It shouldn't be looking for me."

She thought for a while, then raised her head and asked Ma Sanbao: "Have you seen the portrait clearly?"

"Your Highness, I did try to get a closer look at the portrait, but I'm not tall enough to see it clearly."

Ma Sanbao was a little frustrated. “I only saw the portrait of the woman in the painting.”

Ma Sanbao's maturity always gave Shen Yuyao some illusions.

Sanbao is still a child, only seven or eight years old.

It is very rare to have such observation skills.

Shen Yuyao comforted him, "Sanbao, you've been amazing. I didn't even notice these people yesterday."

“It’s just that I also found some strange things.”

"Yesterday, I looked all the way here, and besides you, I didn't see a single child."

Shen Yuyao looked a little solemn. Could it be that there was also a child trafficking gang in Xijing?

"Yes, I thought about it carefully, and there really isn't one."

After being reminded by Shen Yuyao, Ma Sanbao also felt that Xijing City was weird.

The two were lost in thought when Zi Su opened the door and came in.

"Miss, you are up now. I will help you wash and dress right away."

Zi Su felt a little embarrassed because she overslept today.

"No problem, I've asked the shopkeeper for some hot water and washed myself."

Shen Yuyao smiled faintly.

I grew up with her, and this is the first time I see Zi Su oversleep.

"Miss, why are you suddenly wearing women's clothes?"

Zi Su was a little surprised to see Shen Yuyao's outfit today.

Starting from the capital, Shen Yuyao rarely wore women's clothes along the way.

What's even rarer is that Shen Yuyao actually wears a little makeup.

So bright and beautiful.

Shen Yuyao was very generous and smiled at Zi Su.

Her eyes are beautiful and her smile is sweet.

Seeing this, Zi Su also felt that their young lady was a little too beautiful today.

"Zi Su, when the little princess gets up, we will go into the city and go to Jingren Hall in Xijing."

Shen Yuyao looked at Zisu again and said, "Zisu, change out of this maid's uniform."

"Change into men's clothes."

Shisu's eyes widened.

The lady actually asked her to change into men's clothes and dress up as a young master?

If she was trying to save money by wearing men's clothes, then why did the lady change back into women's clothes?

No matter how confused Zi Su was, he could only obey orders.
