Chapter 169 He followed us all the way!
Sikong Xin was stunned and couldn't help asking, "It's so dangerous, why does he still want to perform?"
Her question was like asking "Why don't you eat meat?"
She is indeed a little princess who grew up with thousands of pampering and doesn't know the sufferings of the world.
Shen Linfeng sighed lightly and replied, "Of course it's for survival. On this street, whether you set up a stall to sell goods or perform, it's not easy for anyone to make money!"
In fact, he was also a playboy before. It was his sister who taught him how to do business and make money, and it was also his sister who made him understand the sufferings of the people.
His sister said that only by understanding the hardships of life can one become a successful and great businessman!
He doesn't have any big ambitions, but he really wants to be a great businessman, not only to make his family live a better life, but also to help more people!
Sikong Xin lives at the top of the pyramid, and the people in her circle of friends are either rich or noble. She doesn't know that the lives of the lower class people are so difficult.
After listening to Shen Linfeng's words, and watching the artist spitting fire, she couldn't help but feel mixed emotions in her heart.
This is not selling art, it's clearly selling life!
"Everyone, next I will show you how to spin a bowl on your head!"
After Master Sun finished his performance, he bowed to everyone and said loudly, "Please forgive me if my performance is not good enough!"
Then a little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old walked into everyone's sight. She held three thin wooden sticks in each hand, and each stick had a bowl on it.
With a slight movement of her wrist, the bowl on the wooden root started to spin rapidly.
Then, to increase the difficulty, Master Sun put another bowl on her head.
The little girl's hands were still very steady, and the bowl on the wooden stick spun faster and faster.
Everyone applauded and cheered, "Great!"
Master Sun held the gong and walked past the crowd one by one, "Those who have money, please give some money, and those who don't have money, please give some money!"
Many people took out their wallets and put in a penny or two.
When Master Sun walked in front of Sikong Xin, Sikong Xin directly took out a silver ingot and put it on the copper coins.
Master Sun has been selling his skills at the stall for many years, but this is the first time he has been rewarded with ten taels of silver.
He looked at the young boy in elegant clothes and thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you very much for your reward! Thank you very much for your reward! The money for the mother's medicine for the next two months is settled!"
Sikong Xin looked at his excited look, and felt a little sour in his heart.
It turned out that they were performing arts to pay for their family's medical treatment.
Just giving him a silver ingot made him so grateful.
She used to think that most people in the world were like her, with no worries about food and drink, and people serving them. Now
it seems that she is much luckier than ordinary people. She was born with wealth that others dare not even think about in their lifetime.
She watched the performance for a while and then continued walking along the street.
There were many other performances on the road, such as face changing, swordplay, and breaking stones with chests.
Some people made all kinds of flying insects, birds and animals out of straw, and some people played the erhu with a broken bowl in front of them.
This time, while she was walking, she calmed down and observed these people carefully, and gradually understood what people's livelihood meant.
When she finished walking down the street, she turned around and found Shen Linfeng still following them, "Hey! Why are you following us?"
Shen Linfeng swung the folding fan in his hand, "The road is wide open, we each go our own way. Your Highness the Princess can go this way, so why can't I?"
Sikong Xin couldn't help rolling her eyes at his provocative expression, "I don't want to bother with you!"
She had almost finished her walk anyway, and when she took Qin Shuang back to the palace with the pigeon lantern, she found that the Shen Mansion's carriage was actually following hers.
At this time, the night was getting darker.
There were fewer and fewer people on the road.
Sikong Xin thought for a moment, then opened the curtain of the carriage and shouted to the back, "Hey! Shen Linfeng, why are you still following me? Shouldn't you go east from the Shen Mansion?"
Shen Linfeng also opened the curtain and stuck his head out, "The night is charming, I plan to go around this street twice before going back."
"You're sick."
Sikong Xin muttered softly, put down the curtain, and ignored him.
However, it was not until her carriage stopped at the palace gate that Shen Linfeng's carriage turned around and went back home.
Qin Shuang stuck her head out and looked at the Shen family's carriage that was getting farther and farther away, and couldn't help saying, "Princess, it seems like he deliberately sent us back."
"How is that possible? He's just bored and wandering around everywhere!"
Sikong Xin said this, but in his heart he guessed the purpose of Shen Linfeng's behavior.
He was probably worried that it was unsafe for the two girls to walk at night.
However, Shen Linfeng had no idea that every time Sikong Xin left the palace, Sikong Yan would send someone to protect her in secret.
Qin Shuang looked at Sikong Xin and blinked, "Miss, this is the second young master of the Shen family you mentioned before, right? I think he looks quite handsome. He followed us all the way, couldn't he just want to send you back to the palace?"
Sikong Xin's ears tingled when she heard that, and then she glared at Qin Shuang and said angrily, "You little girl, what do you know? Shen Linfeng was just jealous that we bought the dove lantern, and he was not convinced, so he followed us all the way!"
"Is that so?"
"Yes! This princess said so, that's it!"
"Yes, yes, princess, what you said must be right!"
The two got off the carriage, each holding a dove lantern, and walked towards Sikong Xin's bedroom.
Although there were palace lanterns hung everywhere in the palace, Sikong Xin felt that none of them could compare to her pigeon lanterns.
These two lanterns helped her to open up the night and illuminate the road ahead. It
made people feel warm in their hearts and particularly at ease...
In the private room of the newly opened restaurant.
Sikong Xin ordered a table full of dishes. Shen Chaoyan ate until her stomach was full, but there were still several dishes that she didn't even touch with her chopsticks.
She touched her stomach and put down her chopsticks, "I can't eat anymore."
"Then let's get ready to go back to the palace."
"Wait a minute!"
Shen Chaoyan pulled the man who had stood up, pointed at the untouched dishes on the table and said to him, "Crystal buns, emerald shrimp dumplings, secret roast goose, and this, this, and this! Don't waste them, pack them all up, I'm going to take them back to the palace!"
In case she got hungry at night, she and Lugua could have another midnight snack.
Sikong Yan looked at her unsatisfied expression, smiled and nodded, "I'll listen to you, pack them all up and take them away."
Because Shen Chaoyan ate too much, the two of them did not take the carriage back immediately, but walked on the street for a while.
The round bright moon in the sky was like a jade plate, casting a bright silver glow.
The lanterns on the street were connected together, and the candlelight shone through the thin colored paper to create a colorful halo.
It was late at night, but the street vendors had not yet closed their stalls.
Shen Chaoyan bought a few small items on the roadside, and then got on the carriage with Sikong Yan.
"This big white goose lantern is not available in the palace. Go back and give one to Sister Xue and Lugua. They will definitely like it."
Sikong Yan saw that she was very interested and asked casually, "Why didn't you buy a lantern for yourself?"
"I'm not a child."
In Shen Chaoyan's view, these were just to coax little girls.
She has lived two lives. In her view, Xue Youran and Lugua are both in their teens, and their minds are actually childish.
Giving them lanterns can make them happy for a day.
"Then what do you like? I'll give it to you."
"I like gold! The kind that shines brightly!"
Sikong Yan couldn't help laughing, and raised his hand to scratch her nose, "You money-grubber, besides these vulgar things like gold and silver, don't you have anything else you like?"
"Yes, besides gold, I also like the emperor." Because the emperor can give her a lot of gold.
"You, you..."
Sikong Yan laughed and pinched her face with his big hand.
When the man's hand pinched, Shen Chaoyan could feel that his fingers were very cold.
So, she took the opportunity to grab the man's hand.
Just now, when they came out of the wine shop and were strolling around, Shen Chaoyan had chosen a lantern, and Sikong Yan gentlemanly helped her carry the lantern and walked all the way.
On the way, she hugged Tang Pozi, and her hands were warm.
Sikong Yan carried a lantern along the way, which actually cooled his hands.
Shen Chaoyan immediately took out the hot water bottle in his arms and handed it to the man, "Your Majesty, let me warm your hands with this! Look at you, your hands are frozen red!"
Sikong Yan looked at her pouting lips slightly, with a distressed expression on her face, and his heart moved slightly, "Actually, I have a better way to warm my hands."
Shen Chaoyan fluttered her eyelashes, "What method?"
Sikong Yan did not answer immediately, but looked at her, then put his big hands around her waist and hugged her whole body to his legs.
He held her tightly in his arms with both hands, "Just like this."
Shen Chaoyan understood that this man was using her as a human heater.
However, his arms were also warm, and it was not bad for the two of them to hug each other and keep each other warm.
So, she simply snuggled into his arms and let him hold her tightly, "Okay, I'll warm you up."
The carriage was much warmer than outside.
Sikong Yan's hands became hot after holding her for a while.
Of course, it wasn't just his hands.
He lowered his head and saw Shen Chaoyan lazily lying in his arms, playing with his hair between her fingers.
They were very close, and his breath was filled with her faint fragrance.
Sikong Yan just stared at her quietly, and as he looked, the color in his eyes darkened a little.
And his slender and strong arms held her tighter and tighter.
"Your Majesty, you are strangling me so much that I can hardly breathe!"
Sikong Yan's throat tightened when he heard her soft voice, and he couldn't help but whisper in her ear, "Then I will help you breathe?"
Shen Chaoyan was already an experienced driver. She knew what he meant just by listening to the man's hoarse voice.
At this moment, the person buried in the man's chest suddenly raised her head and distanced herself from him.
She faced the man, her eyes slowly moving down along the man's black eyes, "How does Your Majesty want to help me breathe? Like this? Or like this?"
When asking the question, she tilted her head back, and her bright red lips first fell on his sexy Adam's apple, lightly touched the water, and then pecked lightly at the corner of his lips.
"Hiss..."
It's killing me!
This woman is playing with fire!
Sikong Huang let out a muffled sound from his throat, and the veins on his neck were instantly visible.
Shen Chaoyan looked at his forbearing appearance, and immediately felt a surge of anger, and immediately wanted to tease him again.
She raised her hand and pinched the man's chin, and said with a rogue tone, "You man, you are so damn sweet! I am so fascinated by you!"
Ah this, this, this...
Who can resist her if she plays like this?
