Chapter 148 A pleasant time alone
"Is Chen Yue nagging?" Song Yunchu thought about it and remembered that Chen Yue didn't talk much.
"That's because you haven't heard his nagging." Jun Liluo said, "Every time I take him out of the palace, he always chooses those large restaurants. If I say I want to eat candied haws and roasted chestnuts, he will stop me, saying that those things on the street are not clean. He always takes those rules too seriously. He is still so restrained even after leaving the palace."
Song Yunchu remained silent.
[You are just talking nonsense. You are the emperor and he is your subordinate. He should always keep the rules in mind. Isn't that what he should do?]
[Do you think we will not be polite to you just because you said you don't have to be so restrained? We are not that naive. You may be able to understand us now if we make mistakes occasionally, but when you don't like us one day in the future, you can use those times when we didn't follow the rules as an excuse to punish us.]
[Isn't it for your own good that they don't let you eat at street stalls? In this world, there are clear class divisions, and people in high positions have nothing to do with the food of ordinary people. With your delicate stomach, if you really have problems eating at street stalls, isn't it his responsibility? ]
【Evil capitalists.】
Jun Liluo: "..."
What is all this?
He did not deny that he was the "capitalist" described by Yun Chu, but he was by no means an evil capitalist.
If something really went wrong while eating at a roadside stall, he would never blame the people who followed him.
However, what Yun Chu said also made sense. This world is divided into different classes. No matter how kind the superiors are to their subordinates, the subordinates will always abide by the rules strictly and will never go wrong if they respect their superiors.
In fact, he was not really criticizing Chen Yue for being old-fashioned, he just found an excuse to spend some time alone with Song Yunchu.
“Brother Luo said that Chen Yue was nagging, so he didn’t want to bring him, but Bai Zhu is not nagging.”
Song Yunchu's voice rang in his ears, "Actually, there's no need to get rid of Bai Zhu. He's a very quiet person all day long. He won't stop us from doing anything, nor will he interrupt us casually."
"Is that so? Then I won't throw him away next time."
Jun Liluo pulled Song Yunchu through an alley, and after making sure that they had gotten rid of the two people behind them, he smiled and said, "Yunchu, are there any candied haws around here? Come with me to eat two."
"There are some during normal times, but most of the time people only shout during the day."
Song Yunchu looked around. It was getting dark at this hour and many stalls were closed. He could not see any vendors selling candied haws anywhere.
"Forget it if there's none." Jun Liluo said, "Let's try again next time we leave the palace. There will always be a chance to eat it."
Song Yunchu heard that his tone seemed a bit lonely, so he took over the conversation and said, "Just because there is nothing on this street doesn't mean there is nothing on the neighboring street. If Brother Luo doesn't mind that the walk is too long, let's walk a few more steps."
Jun Liluo smiled when he heard this, "We came out to go shopping, so why would we complain about the long road?"
The two of them walked slowly on the long street, and Jun Liluo felt rarely comfortable.
These past few days he had been thinking over and over in his mind how he was going to get along with Yun Chu in the future.
Yun Chu used to always complain that she didn't want to work overtime, but in fact she was a hardworking person. In her own words, she loved her work.
Or to put it another way, she loves the title and status she holds now, and for the sake of her own glory, she is willing to devote all her time and energy to what she should do.
She really cares about the country and the people, and the word love may not be that important to her.
Or maybe it was because she hadn't met anyone she liked yet? After all, he knew what was on her mind, and if she had someone she loved, he should be the first to know.
He had spent so much time with her, and even he didn't have the chance to get into her heart, so naturally outsiders would have even less chance.
Thinking of this, he felt a little comforted.
Time will tell what a person is really like. As long as he is patient enough, Yun Chu will be able to discover what he is thinking.
“There really is a candied haws stall.”
Song Yunchu looked towards the street corner ahead and tugged at the sleeve of the person next to him, "Brother Luo, the candied haws you've been longing for are in front."
Jun Li Luo raised his head and looked forward, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.
Yun Chu is better. She won’t always stop him from eating these things like Chen Yue does.
The two of them quickly walked up to the vendor. When Jun Li Luo was about to pay, he found that he didn't have a single penny on him.
How could he have forgotten that when he went out on weekdays, the money was carried by his subordinates.
He seldom left the palace, and as he had no use for money in the palace, he had no habit of carrying money with him when he went out.
In the end, he could only watch Song Yunchu pay the money and hand the candied haws to him.
"Brother Luo, is one enough? I get sick of this stuff if I eat too much."
"That's enough." Jun Liluo took the candied haws and said, "Next time you come out, I'll treat you."
Song Yunchu found it a little funny when he first saw him speaking so seriously.
This candied haws is only two copper coins each...
Are they the kind of people who need this little bit of money?
"Brother Luo, you're joking. Why should we bother about this?" Song Yunchu said casually, and continued walking forward while chewing on a candied haws. Little did she know that her words made Jun Li Luo feel a little depressed.
Brothers...
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.
Jun Li Luo looked at her back, sighed, and then followed her.
He also took a bite of the candied haws in his hand and found the hawthorn to be sour, sweet and refreshing, and tasted very good.
The two walked aimlessly until they finished eating the candied haws. Song Yunchu originally wanted to ask Jun Li Luo where he was going, but he saw that Jun Li Luo was looking towards the stone bridge in front.
On the banks of the Luoxia River under the stone bridge, river lanterns were shining brightly, and seven or eight figures were releasing river lanterns on the river bank.
In this era, releasing river lanterns is also a form of prayer. People usually release river lanterns to pray or thank God for his kindness after a disaster has been eliminated.
"Yun Chu, I haven't released river lanterns yet, let's go join in the fun."
As Jun Liluo spoke, he grabbed Song Yunchu's wrist and walked under the stone bridge.
When Song Yunchu saw that he was quite interested, he just let him go.
The two of them came to the river bank, and the vendor selling river lanterns came up to greet them enthusiastically, "Gentlemen, would you like to release river lanterns? My lotus lanterns are very beautiful and cheap."
"Two please."
Song Yunchu took two lotus lanterns from the peddler and sat down by the river with Jun Liluo.
The notes under the river lanterns were used to write people's wishes. Song Yunchu handed the pen to Jun Liluo, "Brother Luo, you write first."
"I haven't decided what to write yet, Yunchu, you go first."
After hearing this, Song Yunchu thought for a moment, then lowered his head and put down his pen.
Jun Liluo turned his head away and looked away.
Song Yunchu wrote and recited silently.
【I wish that the crops will be plentiful everywhere. 】
【Second, I wish that I will continue to prosper in the future. 】
【Third, I wish the people I care about peace and happiness. 】
Jun Liluo turned his back to her, a smile in his eyes.
The people she cares about should include her friends, loyal subordinates, and him as her boss, right?
Since she had already prayed for a good harvest in this dynasty, he didn't need to write a similar wish.
Maybe he could write something just about his personal wishes.
"Brother Luo, I've finished writing. It's your turn." Song Yunchu's voice sounded behind him.
Jun Liluo turned around and saw that she had pressed the note into the lotus lantern, and handed her the pen.
He took the pen and she turned her back.
When Song Yunchu was slacking off in the imperial study, he recited some poems in his mind, and there was one line that he liked very much.
He lowered his eyes to look at the note in the lotus lantern, smiled silently, and put down his pen -
I wish I could be like a star and you could be like the moon, shining brightly every night.
After writing, he put the note into the lotus lantern.
"Yun Chu, I've finished writing it too."
