Prince Daji also nodded in agreement.

"Yes, we came to Daning Country to see its beautiful mountains and rivers and experience its customs and people. What's the point of staying cooped up in the palace like this? Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about us. We can take care of ourselves. We don't need to have those people around to be an eyesore. Besides, if they follow us out, they'll be like sticking to a log. If they get lost again, we'll have to take care of them."

"But, but it will be dangerous for you to go out like this. Otherwise, I will go to the emperor now and ask him to send a few people who are familiar with the road conditions in the capital to follow you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ah Hong came in to report,

"Your Majesty, the Emperor heard that you were going to take Princess Xingnan and Prince Daji out of the palace, so he specially asked Lord Ning to escort you."

At this point, Luo Lan looked at Yongping again.

"Big Sister, you heard that, right? Lord Ning is the Emperor's sword-bearing guard. He protects us. You should be relieved, right?"

Princess Yongping nodded.

"Okay, then you guys go early and come back early."

After leaving these words, she turned and left with the girl beside her.

Only after seeing Princess Yongping leave did Luo Lan invite everyone to leave the palace. She was eager to go to Prince Yu's Mansion to see An An and Yi Cheng.

The group quickly left the palace. Xingnan and Luo Lan sat in the carriage, while the rest rode on horseback.

Sitting in the carriage, Xingnan couldn't help but lift the curtain and look out.

"Empress, the capital of Daning Kingdom is really bustling. They sell everything. Can we go down and take a look?"

"Wait until we get back to Prince Yu's Mansion and settle down, and then I'll send someone to take you out for a walk."

"But I want to go out now. Look, there's a place selling candied haws. I want to try some."

Luo Lan reluctantly lifted the curtain door and looked out, then instructed Ah Hong, who was driving the carriage:

"Ahong, stop the car."

Ah Hong hurriedly tightened the reins of the horse. Ah Cai jumped off the co-driver's seat of the carriage and stepped forward to ask:

"My Lady, what's wrong?"

"Princess Xingnan wants to eat candied haws. Ask Lord Ning to buy some."

"No, I want to buy it myself."

As he spoke, Xingnan couldn't wait to jump off the carriage. Seeing this, Luo Lan had no choice but to tell Ah Hong:

"Tell Lord Ning to protect Princess Xingnan."

Before she finished her words, Xingnan couldn't wait to rush towards the vendor selling candied haws. Xiao Ningzi didn't dare to delay and followed him quickly.

Seeing Xingnan having fun, Daji also rode his horse towards another small vendor selling knives, guns, sticks and clubs.

"Ahong, go quickly and protect Prince Daji."

Seeing this, Lele clasped his fists and bowed to Luo Lan in the carriage.

"Mother, let me take you back to Prince Yu's Mansion!"

Luo Lan shook his head with some worry.

"No, I don't feel comfortable leaving them on the street. Let's wait for them here for a while."

"Okay, please wait here for a moment, mother. I will go and urge them."

As he spoke, Lele rode his horse straight towards where Prince Daji was.

The reason why he chose to find Daji was because he was also interested in the weapons stall over there.

He had been feeling depressed in the palace for many days and was fortunate enough to leave the palace today. Although he had to pretend to be humble and polite on the surface, he actually wanted to have some fun and go shopping on the street.

Princess Xingnan's place was much more lively than this place. She came to the vendor selling candied haws and without saying anything, she picked up one and was about to eat it. The vendor hurriedly called her back.

"Girl, you haven't paid yet."

Before he could finish his words, Xiao Ningzi raised a silver ingot in front of him and said in a cold voice:

"I want all of these."

The vendor nodded excitedly. After taking the silver, he quickly stuffed the candied haws rack into Xiao Ningzi's hand.

"Okay, okay, please take it, sir."

Then he ran away impatiently, fearing that if he was too late, he would regret it.

Xingnan looked at the candied haws stand in Xiao Ningzi's hand, then looked at the direction the vendor left, and looked at him in astonishment.

"Why... did you buy them all?"

Xiao Ningzi replied calmly without changing his expression:

"The Emperor said he would take good care of you and Prince Daji. Since you like it, I will buy more."

"you……"

Xingnan muttered softly,

"Are you stupid? One string is enough, why buy so many?"

Unexpectedly, Xiao Ningzi heard this sentence clearly. He carried the candied haws rack on his shoulder without getting angry.

"I'm not stupid. I'm afraid there won't be enough to share when I return to Prince Yu's Mansion."

As he spoke, he walked towards the carriage. Xingnan smiled bitterly to himself, then happily followed him while eating the candied haws in his hand.

Daji also bought a few hand-held weapons and threw them on the shoulders of the followers beside him. He also gave Lele a crescent-shaped dagger that he had been fiddling with. Lele originally wanted to refuse, but Prince Daji was too enthusiastic, and he liked the dagger very much, so he happily accepted it.

After seeing that Xingnan and Daji had gotten what they liked, they set off again.

Sitting in the carriage, Xingnan couldn't help laughing at Xiao Ningzi while eating the candied haws in his hand.

"Your Majesty, that General Ning is really interesting. He buys things without asking the price and doesn't even ask for change. Is he not quite right?"

Listening to Xingnan's comments on Xiao Ningzi, Luo Lan raised her handkerchief to cover her mouth and chuckled.

"He's not stupid, he's just straightforward and honest. He's followed the emperor for many years, and the emperor values ​​him, which shows that he has many good qualities. To be more precise, he's the kind of person with a high IQ but low EQ. He's not very good at handling interpersonal relationships, and he only knows how to get to the point. For example, if you, the little princess, want to eat candied haws, even if you want to eat the taro cake from the south of the city, he will run to the south to buy it."

"Really?"

Xingnan looked at Luo Lan with disbelief, then opened the curtain door and shouted,

"General Ning, I want to eat the trough cake from the south of the city. Can you go buy it for me?"

Xingnan's behavior surprised Luo Lan a little. She didn't expect that this little girl loved to play tricks on people so much. She was just making an analogy. Did she really let Xiao Ningzi buy it?

They are now in the city, which is some distance away from the south of the city. Even if Xiao Ningzi rides a horse, it will take half an hour to go back and forth.

Xiao Ningzi was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"Okay, I'll go there after I send you back to Prince Yu's Mansion."

"No, I want you to go now. I want to eat now."

Xingnan looked at Xiao Ningzi unwillingly, "And the Queen also agreed that you can go..."

After saying this, she turned around and winked at Luo Lan.

"Yes, Queen."

Looking at her cute appearance, Luo Lan couldn't bear to refuse. "Anyway, Prince Yu's Mansion is just ahead, so let General Ning go!"

Xingnan raised his eyebrows slightly and said happily:

"I want to go with you."
