Officials of the Dayan Kingdom have two days off per month, but the guards around Yue Fuguang, although they hold official positions in the Dayan Kingdom and receive salaries from the imperial court, are under her sole jurisdiction.
Therefore, she gave everyone four days of vacation per month, and the vacation arrangements were made by Zhang Fang and the Shen sisters.
She remembered that Yu Huaixian had said that today was his day off.
[Master, you're a deity, yet you're finding mortal food increasingly delicious.]
"Little bead, what I'm doing is simply adapting to local customs. The spiritual fruits and vegetables of the celestial realm certainly have their own unique flavors, but the everyday life of the mortal world also has its own distinctive charm."
Yu Huaixian smiled and said, "I just happened to be strolling around the East Market when I saw your carriage."
He dared not say that his great-grandfather had sent a message home saying that his cousin was coming today to capture enemy 'spies' and that he should come and protect her.
Zhang Fang and his friends are skilled in martial arts, but the family doesn't dare to entrust their cousin's safety entirely to outsiders.
My grandfather and the others had instructed me that in times of danger, I would be my little cousin's human shield. He could be injured or die, but my cousin couldn't lose a single hair!
Yu Huaixian didn't think there was anything wrong with his elders' instructions. After all, this woman was the precious gem of the Yu family. With her around, the Yu family would be worry-free for three generations.
Besides, my little cousin is a celestial being descended to earth. As long as I have a breath left, she will definitely have a way to save me. That's how confident I am!
Yu Huaixian was still fantasizing about being a human shield for his cousin, who was descending to earth as a celestial being, when Shen Dongxue tugged at his sleeve beside him.
Yu Huaixian turned around to look at her in confusion, only to see one, two, three... twelve shocked faces behind her.
Why do these people have such expressions? Did something happen while he was chatting with his cousin that he doesn't know about?
He silently questioned his colleagues with his eyes.
Zhang Fang quietly pulled him a few meters away and whispered in his ear, "A god! Really?!"
She spoke to him, but her eyes were fixed on the moonlit carriage.
Yu Huaixian was taken aback by his question, and his face showed the same shock as theirs, "You didn't know?!"
The initial shock turned to bewilderment. 'Shouldn't we have known?'
'We don't know! Nobody told us!'
Everyone was silent, but Yu Huaixian understood the meaning in their eyes.
He silently turned around, his back to the group, then revealed eight teeth and their bed, suppressing the tears that threatened to spill from his laughter, and quickly rubbed his face with his hands.
He dared not let these guys, who were all brawn and no brains, know that he was making fun of them.
Unexpectedly, even the usually smartest Shen sisters were kept in the dark.
When Huai Xian turned around again, his face had become serious.
Everyone realized that this guy must have been laughing at them behind their backs!
But for the sake of that answer that was about to be revealed, they endured it!
Yu Huai nodded vigorously to the dozen or so people, then quietly pointed his finger towards the sky.
Its meaning is self-evident.
Guards: So what we've been hearing all along is true! It's not that the Young Master is comparing himself to a deity, but that he truly is a deity!
Everyone pounded their heads in frustration; they should have realized this sooner!
Only in this way can the abnormal behavior of all the officials in the court be more reasonable!
So, their guard of several dozen people are just... decorations beside the Immortal Lord?
Whether it's decorations or something else, everyone is determined to cling to the Immortal Lord's golden thigh for a hundred years and never let go!
Yu Huaixian, rather unkindly, silently observed his colleagues' ever-changing expressions—their bewildered, suddenly enlightened, and inexplicably excited faces—if only they hadn't already begun to frighten passersby.
Two adorable little children were even frightened to tears by them. Yu Huaixian was too lazy to remind them, as their facial expressions had completely spiraled out of control!
Ignoring the commotion among the guards outside, Yue Fuguang continued to enjoy the scenery along the way.
Passing by a farmer selling vegetables, Yue Fuguang saw several baskets of fresh wild vegetables in front of him. Thinking of shepherd's purse dumplings, she thought she could visit the farm next time she had a day off and take a look at the progress of the villa construction and the planting of fruit trees and flowers.
Most importantly, a localized rain fell in the past to help them survive and grow as quickly as possible.
A little further on, past the vegetable farmer, was a peddler carrying a load of small items like needles, thread, and combs.
The moonlight couldn't help but remind him of the disappearance case that Gao Ming had brought up. When young women and wives eloped, their partners were most likely peddlers.
Peddler: In the end, it was my profession that bore the brunt of it all!
The East Market was bustling today, with many pedestrians on the streets, including people dressed in fine clothes and ordinary people in plain clothes.
She even saw several scholars dressed in the robes of candidates for the imperial examinations. Judging from their accents, they were all from out of town. Had they come to the capital a year in advance to prepare for the exams?
Next spring will be another year of the imperial examinations, and among these people, there may be several new Jinshi (successful candidates in the highest imperial examinations) next year.
Just then, I heard the soft, sweet voices of children begging their parents to buy them toys, the shouts of vendors from various stalls, and several porters carrying goods hurrying through the crowd, calling out "Make way!"
Occasionally, a horse-drawn carriage would pass by, its bells ringing out in a mingled sound with the cries of vendors, the haggling of customers, and the footsteps of people moving about.
This filled the entire street with a vibrant atmosphere. Who could have imagined that less than a month later, an epidemic would break out, affecting even the capital city under the emperor's nose, causing widespread panic?
[Master, looking at this peaceful scene, it's hard to imagine what it will be like a month later when a plague rages, people suffer, the masses die, and everyone lives in fear.]
"Little Pearl, the scene you described won't happen. We caught Qi Ming, one of the culprits, today. Even if Gan Sheng wants to replace him, that's fine."
