Su Zhiruan asked about the origin of the jade hairpin. It was impossible for a hairpin of this quality to be sold on the street, but she knew very well that Fu Huaichu had no money.

"I pawned the jade pendant on my body." Fu Huaichu did not hide anything.

Jade pendant...

Suddenly, Su Zhiruan thought of the Panlong jade pendant that he had taken off his body, and at this time, he also thought of the original plot.

In the original plot, this jade pendant represents a very important turning point in time. The jade pendant is a token that proves that he is the prince. He takes the jade pendant to the county, which means that the secret guards looking for him will follow the clues and find this place.

"Ruan Ruan?" Fu Huaichu saw that she was thinking seriously about something. He waved his hand to interrupt Su Zhiruan's thoughts, "Any questions?"

"No," Su Zhiruan came back to her senses and picked up the chopsticks again, "Come on, eat."

The two had just gotten married yesterday and were in great love with each other. In addition, she wore new clothes today and Fu Huaichu even drew her eyebrows, so it was not suitable for her to do farm work. Therefore, the two simply went to the county and prepared to go shopping.

The journey was not far, and they soon arrived at the county.

"The streets are so busy today!"

Looking around, there were people everywhere, mixed in the crowd, it was almost shoulder to shoulder.

"Be careful," Fu Huaichu saw that she was almost separated by the crowd, so he reached out his hand in time and interlocked his fingers with Su Zhiruan, "Let's hold hands and we won't be separated."

Su Zhiruan approached him and nodded.

The surroundings were very noisy, and some people who knew the gossip were whispering.

"Hey, hey, hey, have you heard that the imperial guards or something in the capital have sent people here. It is said that they are here to investigate the case and hunt us down?"

"Oh, brother, you are too uninformed. If you want to investigate a case, you need so many people. The nanny of my eldest brother-in-law's sister-in-law's third aunt's son-in-law said something. It is said that the court is here to look for someone. The county magistrate's house is probably packed today. The prefect, the governor, and the court officials are all here. I wonder who they are looking for?"

"Are you talking about the Emperor? I haven't heard any movement from the Emperor these days. Could it be that the Emperor went on a secret visit and was..." As he mentioned the Emperor, he extended his hand and bowed from a distance, "Or maybe the Crown Prince, or the Third Prince? I haven't heard of these royal nobles coming out recently."

…

After hearing the last person's words, Su Zhiruan subconsciously looked at Fu Huaichu. He quickly felt her gaze and held her hand even tighter. He leaned over and asked her, "Ruan Ruan, what's wrong?"

"I..." Su Zhiruan looked at Fu Huaichu. She couldn't say that the current scene was a bit absurd, so she made up an excuse, "I'm curious about what these big shots look like."

She looked at Fu Huaichu again, and could see their palms intertwined by looking down. Listening to the people around them discussing the emperor, empress, crown prince, and third prince, Su Zhiruan felt that it was quite exciting.

If these talkative people knew that the Crown Prince of the dynasty they were talking about was standing in the crowd at this moment, holding hands with her, their expressions would definitely be very good.

A crowd gathered here, but was soon driven away by the deputy general who came out of the mansion.

"Come here - let the people disperse, a few of you guard the gate and don't let anyone approach, and the rest of you follow me." The lieutenant general quickly stabilized the situation and then led his men back.

"It seems there is nothing good to see," said an old man next to Su Zhiruan. He waved his hand and left.

"Let's go too and find a restaurant to eat." Fu Huaichu and Su Zhiruan stepped out of the crowd. At this time, many people had already left. The remaining people wanted to see what the court officials looked like, so they were reluctant to leave.

Su Zhiruan was strolling along the street. There were quite a few people on the street. Small vendors set up stalls with a wide variety of jewelry and quaint masks on them. The steam from the steamed dumplings was rising and the aroma was everywhere. There was an endless stream of people lining up. There were also delicacies such as candied haws and sugar men. The whole street was bustling with activity.

The two did not squeeze in with the crowd on the street, but chose the destination they had prepared to go to early in the morning - Yuelai Restaurant.

This is the most famous and best-tasting restaurant in the entire county. After the two walked in, a waiter followed them and said, "My two guests, what would you like to eat?"

"Just a few of our signature dishes will do," Su Zhiruan pointed at the five dishes listed on the bamboo slips, "These are all that will do."

"Okay, my two guests," the waiter looked full of energy. He threw the towel off his shoulders and wiped the tables and chairs vigorously. "Please take a seat first. I'll prepare some tea."

Just as the waiter brought the tea, four men walked in from the store door, talking as they walked. When the waiter saw them, he hurried forward to greet them.

"My four guests, what would you like to order?"

"I'll give you some silver. Just give us a few of them." The leading man found a place not far from Su Zhiruan and Fu Huaichu, "Just remember to serve the wine."

"Okay!" After wiping the table, the waiter went to the kitchen to prepare the side dishes.

At this time, Su Zhiruan also heard clearly what these men were discussing.

"…By the way, what was the prince's name? Hiss, I remember it was Fu Huai?"

"Shh, keep your voice down. We're not at home." The other man looked around cautiously and motioned him to keep his voice down. "You should be careful with your words when you go out. His Royal Highness is not someone we can discuss."

"Hey! What are you afraid of? There is no prince here. Except for the waiter in the sundry shop and the young couple, it is obvious that they are not either." The third person didn't care at all. Seeing Su Zhiruan looking at them, he even smiled.

Su Zhiruan: “…”

Generally speaking, such coincidences do not happen in the world, but sometimes, fate is hard to explain, just like now, although there are only two of them and the waiter present, Fu Huaichu is what they call His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Fu Huaichu did not express his opinion. He asked Su Zhiruan, "How about buying two new clothes later?"

"Okay, I still have to go buy another medicinal herb. I forgot to buy it last time, so I must not forget this time." Su Zhiruan forced himself to concentrate.

"On the first day of our marriage, let's take a stroll and buy some things for the home." Fu Huaichu smiled and heated the bowls and chopsticks for both of them.

Behind them, four grown men were still discussing the crown prince.

"Brother, I remember now, is the prince called Fu Huaichu? I think that's the name," the younger boy among them suddenly spoke excitedly. (End of this chapter)
