That memory flooded into Jiang Muyu's mind, and he widened his eyes, looking over there in disbelief.

"Zhao Zhao, what's wrong with you?" Liang Qingchen raised his hand and waved it in front of her eyes.

Jiang Muyu came back to his senses, grabbed his hand, and said, "Achen, I remember now!"

"Remember what?"

"I saw Luochengguan when I was a child."

Liang Qingchen frowned slightly, puzzled: "He is the eldest prince of Dongxu Kingdom, how come you met him when you were a child?"

"Really? It's right there." She pointed at the bridge and said, "Do you remember the time you and I had a quarrel outside? I ran away and went to Dr. Pei Yu's clinic. Later you came and scolded me."

He recalled and nodded: "Remember, I was so mad that day. Wait... when did I scold you? I just told you not to run around and you got angry again. I chased you for three blocks before I calmed you down."

"Uh... that's not important." She shook her head awkwardly and said, "That day I saw a little boy trying to commit suicide by jumping off this stone bridge, so I saved him. When I saw that he had a lot of injuries on his body, I sent him to the clinic of Dr. Pei Yu."

"The little boy you are talking about is Luo Chengguan?"

"right."

Liang Qingchen pursed his lips and said, "Back then, Dongxu and Tiangan did send hostages to Xuancang, but I never had any contact with them. When the imperial capital mutinied, they had already been sent back to their own country."

"Proton? You said Luo Chengguan was a proton sent here?"

"Probably, but he wasn't the first proton sent by Dongxu, so I didn't pay much attention to it back then."

"But isn't he the eldest prince of Dongxu Kingdom? How could the emperor be willing to send his own son to an enemy country as a hostage?"

"As far as I know, when Emperor Dongxu succeeded to the throne, Luo Chengguan's biological mother died of illness. As the eldest son, he naturally became a thorn in the empress's side."

"No wonder..." Jiang Muyu thought about how Luo Chengguan loved her deeply, and realized it wasn't love at first sight.

Liang Qingchen suddenly raised his hands to her eyes. She felt a black screen before her eyes. Suddenly she heard his clear and slightly low voice above her head: "Stop it now. You are not allowed to think about other men anymore."

This person... is really domineering and stubborn.

She took his hand away and held it in hers, then smiled and said, "Okay, I don't want to think about it anymore. You haven't accompanied me shopping for a long time. Anyway, I'm out today, so you can walk with me outside."

"Yeah." Liang Qingchen pulled out his hand and interlocked his fingers with hers.

Xuan Cang's capital was just as prosperous as when she first arrived twenty years ago, except that there were many more shops and the streets were wider.

There was a vendor selling candied haws by the Bian River, and Liang Qingchen bought her some, including a straw target. They ate as they walked along the street, when they were suddenly stopped by two children. They looked to be no more than four or five years old, a boy and a girl, who looked very similar, probably twins born in the same family. Their clothes and appearance did not look like those of ordinary children.

The little boy bit his finger, looked up and asked Liang Qingchen in a baby voice: "Boss, how much is this Tanghulu?"

It turned out that they were mistaken for selling candied haws.

Liang Qingchen shook his head and said, "No, I bought this for my wife."

Both children had disappointment written all over their faces. They stared at the candied haws in her hand and swallowed at the same time.

Seeing this, Jiang Muyu took down two strings of candied haws from the straw target, handed them over with a smile, and said, "I'll give these two strings to you as a gift. I won't charge you for them."

The two looked at each other, and one of them took out four copper coins and handed them over, saying, "Madam, my mother said that you should not take advantage of others when you are out there. This is all the money I have, and I'll give it all to you."

Since he said so, Jiang Muyu did not refuse any more. He took two copper coins from his hand and said, "I will take one penny per string from you."

"Thank you, ma'am." The two of them took the candied haws from her hand.

"You're welcome."

Jiang Muyu had just finished speaking when she suddenly heard a woman's voice: "Dabao, Erbao, why did you go there?"

The two children ran towards the person who came, shouting, "Mom."

Jiang Muyu looked in the direction and saw a young woman in brocade clothes. She had a thin and pointed face, distant black eyebrows, willow-leaf eyes, petal-shaped lips, a graceful figure, and a slender waist that could be held in one hand. She was standing there doing nothing, but she was charming from the inside out.

She couldn't help but feel regretful: "I never thought such a beautiful girl would be the mother of two children."

Liang Qingchen grabbed her hand and pulled her to his side. He looked over there and said slowly, "Zhao Zhao, you are not a stranger to this person."

"Huh?" She was puzzled when she saw the woman walking towards them.

She walked up to Liang Qingchen and bowed: "I, a commoner, pay my respects to His Majesty."

Her voice was not loud, but it still attracted the attention of people around her. Jiang Muyu frowned, fearing that something might happen.

Liang Qingchen said coldly: "Why? Do you think the punishment I gave you is too light?"

"No...I...I have absolutely no such intention." She was a little incoherent.

Jiang Muyu whispered, "Ah Chen, we are traveling in a low profile today, so we don't want to cause any trouble."

"I understand." Liang Qingchen patted the back of her hand soothingly, and then said to the woman: "While I am in a good mood at the moment, disappear immediately."

"Yes, yes, don't worry... I'll leave now." The woman glanced at Jiang Muyu quietly, then quickly lowered her eyelids, bowed, and left with the two children.

Jiang Muyu looked at the woman's slender back, but couldn't remember where he had seen her before, so he asked him, "Who is this person?"

Liang Qingchen glanced at her and said a name lightly: "Wanqi Ye Ning."

She suddenly realized: "It turns out that this is the person who almost became your fiancée when she was still an infant."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I'm not talking nonsense. Wasn't the condition that Wanqi Youhui exchanged with you that you marry her?"

"I didn't agree."

“That’s why I said almost.”

"It's more than a little worse."

"Okay, whatever you say is what it goes." Jiang Muyu took a bite of the candied haws and continued walking forward.

After walking a few steps, she stopped in front of a small stall, picked up a mahogany hairpin, touched her hair, and turned to ask him, "Does it look good?"

He pursed his lips and said truthfully: "It's a bit too plain."

She picked up another jade hairpin and asked, "What about this one?"

“It looks a bit old-fashioned.”

"Will you die if you boast?"

"Zhao Zhao, I don't want to deceive you."

Jiang Muyu raised his eyebrows: "Haven't you lied to me enough?"

He touched his nose and said awkwardly, "I won't do that again in the future."

"real?"

"real."

Jiang Muyu put down the hairpin and said, "Since you think none of them look good, just give me a hairpin that you think looks good."

Liang Qingchen smiled and said, "Okay, when we get back to the palace, I will make you a hairpin that is unique in the world."
