The carriage stopped, and Bai Shi pulled Su Xuening down from it: "Let's go shopping!"
Normally, Su Xuening would never have shown herself if she heard these comments, but now, after hearing Bai Shi's comforting words, she really didn't take them seriously and happily went shopping with Bai Shi.
Two stunning beauties are naturally the most beautiful sight wherever they go, attracting countless eyes and, of course, much discussion.
There was already a lot of discussion about the Bai family, and now with Su Xuening added to the mix, there was really all sorts of opinions.
If it were anything else, Madam Bai would definitely stand up for Su Xuening, but since they were talking about her own brat, Madam Bai was too lazy to pay attention. As for what was being said about her, she never cared. So she happily took Su Xuening shopping.
The two of them only went into the best shops, only bought the most expensive items, and bought everything!
Anything that Su Xuening took a liking to, or even just glanced at, Bai bought it all; he bought up all the good stuff on the entire street.
The two of them only spent an hour in and out of East Street, which was equivalent to emptying out the most bustling East Street in Kyoto.
The attendants, guards, and soldiers who had been following behind them were now all carrying small mountains of food.
When they couldn't carry any more, Bai had the shopkeeper send it directly to the Holy King's Mansion.
With such a large entourage, how could the entire city's population not be drawn to it?
"What day is it today? The Holy Princess and the Holy Consort have bought so many things!"
"They must have bought up the entire East Street! There's never anything cheap on East Street. The Holy King's Mansion is really rich!"
"For so many years, the Holy Princess has been the Emperor's favorite. I've heard that the Emperor sends all sorts of good things to the Holy Prince's residence. How could the Holy Prince's residence not be rich?"
"I heard that all these things were bought by the Holy Princess Dowager for the Holy Princess, and she gave away so many at once!"
"What are these compared to the betrothal gifts given by the Holy King's Mansion? Those were truly astounding, stretching for several blocks!"
"The Holy Princess Dowager truly dotes on the Holy Princess; she treats her like a daughter!"
"It's not just the Holy King's Dowager Consort; I heard that the Holy King also dotes on his Holy Queen Consort. He even went to visit the Hall of Parting Sorrows for her sake..."
The sight of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law shopping together attracted the attention of the entire city.
Xuanyuan Zhan is still diligently writing in the imperial study!
Looking at the mountain of memorials, Xuan Yuanzhan didn't even have time to drink a sip of water.
He strongly suspected that Xuanyuan Peng had deliberately given him so many memorials to review; otherwise, how could he have so many state affairs to handle after only one day of rest?
Xuanyuan Peng really did it on purpose; after all, he had discovered that this kid had such abilities!
He can finish the memorials that would take him three or four days to process in just three hours. He's so fast and efficient, wouldn't it be foolish not to take advantage of that?
He still has many unresolved old problems, so this is a good opportunity to bring them all out for him to deal with, so as to save him from having to rack his brains.
To be honest, with this kid's help these past few days, he's really had a lot less to do. He's so bored that he doesn't have much to do, and now he can finally find some time to visit Ya'er.
Xuanyuan Peng was thinking about the Bai family when Zong Jiu came to report.
Fearing that Zong Jiu would disturb Xuan Yuan Zhan's review of the memorials, Xuan Yuan Peng gave Zong Jiu a wink.
Zong Jiu immediately understood and stepped forward to whisper, "Your Majesty, the Dowager Consort and the Holy Princess Consort went out shopping today."
"Oh?" Xuan Yuanpeng immediately became interested and said with a smile, "What did she buy? Pass down the word that she should buy everything she sets her sights on."
Zong Jiu replied with a smile, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the Dowager Consort and the Princess Consort bought a lot of things. I heard they emptied the entire East Street!"
Xuanyuan Peng smiled, seemingly in a good mood: "I'll send a few boxes of gold to the Holy King's Mansion later."
Since you've already bought everything you wanted, sending some gold over is definitely the right thing to do.
"yes."
Zong Jiu quickly agreed, then glanced at Xuan Yuanzhan, who was reviewing memorials, as if he wanted to say something but dared not.
Xuanyuan Peng understood, and beckoned to Zong Jiu with his finger. Zong Jiu leaned closer to Xuanyuan Peng again and whispered, "There's a new rumor going around today that His Highness the Holy King went to the Hall of Parting Sorrows a few days ago..."
"Liyou Pavilion?" Before Zong Jiu could finish speaking, Xuan Yuanpeng looked bewildered: "What kind of place is that?"
Could it be a brothel?
Seeing that Xuan Yuanpeng didn't understand, Zong Jiu leaned close to his ear and whispered an explanation. Xuan Yuanpeng's eyes widened in shock: "What is he doing there?"
This guy used to be averse to women, and I was afraid he'd do this! I finally got him married, and his wife is pregnant, so how come he's causing this trouble?
“Your Highness the Holy King is going to…” Zong Jiu knew that Xuan Yuanpeng had misunderstood, so he quickly leaned closer to explain, and his old face turned red after he finished speaking.
Xuanyuan Peng's eyes twitched as he looked at Xuanyuan Zhan with shock and surprise, seemingly unable to understand why he would do such a thing!
Xuanyuan Peng kept staring at Xuanyuan Zhan. Even though Xuanyuan Zhan didn't have time to look up, he knew that Xuanyuan Peng was watching him: "Just ask me whatever you want to ask. Do you think I have the answer on my face?"
He was still inside the house, and these two were whispering behind his back. With his excellent hearing, how could he not hear them?
It's such a small thing, why are you so shocked!
However, those two male prostitutes were too talkative. How come the news spread like wildfire throughout the city in just one day? I wonder if Ning'er has heard about it!
Xuan Yuanpeng glanced at Zong Jiu immediately after being rebuked by Xuan Yuanzhan.
Zong Jiu was also stunned by Xuan Yuanzhan's words. He was afraid that the master had heard what he had just said, so he dared not stay any longer and quickly bowed and retreated.
After Zong Jiu left, Xuan Yuanpeng coughed lightly and said, "Your wife is newly pregnant and unable to serve you. Should I bestow two more concubines upon you, so you won't have to..."
Xuanyuan Zhan finally raised his head this time, but his face was full of displeasure, and his gray eyes were full of impatience.
Xuanyuan Peng became nervous under his gaze and cautiously said, "It's always good to have a couple more women serving you, so you can produce more offspring for the royal family..."
The more Xuan Yuanpeng spoke, the colder Xuan Yuanzhan's eyes became, making Xuan Yuanpeng extremely flustered, and his voice grew softer and softer.
After Xuan Yuanpeng fell silent, Xuan Yuanzhan coldly said, "I advise you not to do these things. You know how much Bai Fuya dotes on Su Xuening. If you send two women back to me, do you believe Bai Fuya would tear your palace apart?"
...Xuanyuan Peng was so frightened that his heart skipped a beat.
How could he not believe it! Ya'er is absolutely capable of doing that!
He had completely forgotten about Ya'er.
But he couldn't let his son suffer.
"so……"
Before Xuan Yuanpeng could speak again, Xuan Yuanzhan raised his hand to interrupt him: "I am willing to serve my wife. I will reiterate, I only want my wife in this life."
Xuanyuan Zhan tossed down his vermilion brush, too lazy to bother with the memorials anymore, and got up to leave.
After taking only two steps, Xuan Yuanzhan turned back again: "What Bai Fuya can do, I can do every day!"
