Concubine Le looked at Xiao Ruyu's red eyes and said softly.

"Little princess, whatever you want to do, I will take you there."

Xiao Ruyu's eyes rolled around and he put his arms around Concubine Le's neck.

"Eleven built a swing for me in the yard a few days ago. Let's go there."

"good."

Concubine Le agreed and took her away from the door of the bedroom.

Xiao Ruyu breathed a sigh of relief and glanced back into the hall.

[Master! Fortunately, I am here this time. Without ten candied haws, it would be hard to appease him.]

Doctor Yang seemed to sense something and glanced outside the door.

Seeing this, Queen Duan asked.

"What's going on? Is there someone eavesdropping outside the door?"

Doctor Yang shook his head slightly, thinking he was hallucinating.

"I don't know why, but I seemed to have heard what the princess said just now."

…

Arriving in the yard, Xiao Ruyu jumped down from Concubine Le's arms and sat on the swing.

Her two little hands tightly grasped the hemp ropes on both sides, her eyes bright as she looked at Le Fei expectantly.

"Princess, please slow down."

Concubine Le spoke with a hint of anger, but her hands were on the ropes on both sides.

As the boat rose and fell, Xiao Ruyu giggled.

“A little higher…”

Concubine Le had a smile on her face, "A little higher and the princess will fly out—"

After playing for more than an hour, Xiao Ruyu felt a little tired.

Le Fei's shaking frequency became slower and slower, and seeing that she was tired, she stopped.

Xiao Ruyu took Concubine Le's hand and pressed her soft little face against it.

"Empress Le is so nice."

At this moment, a eunuch was carrying things of various sizes and walking towards the Queen's Palace.

Xiao Ruyu glanced at the glutinous chestnut cake in the basket and quickly called him.

"Please stay, sir."

Seeing that it was Concubine Le and the princess, Eunuch Li hurriedly bowed.

Looking at the things in the basket, Xiao Ruyu's already empty stomach started growling again.

"This chestnut cake is from outside the palace. Where did you get it from?"

Eunuch Li answered truthfully.

"Reporting to the princess, the queen asked me to go out of the palace to buy some things today. The chestnut cake was bought back by the queen specifically."

"My mother knew that I loved chestnut cakes, so she specially sent someone back."

Xiao Ruyu turned and said to Concubine Le.

Seeing that Concubine Le was also looking at the chestnut cake hanging three feet high, she quickly asked her father-in-law to take out the chestnut cake.

"Is the food outside the palace so delicious?"

Concubine Le entered the palace when she was a teenager and spent very little time outside the palace. Moreover, an unmarried daughter was not allowed to go out on the streets at will.

"You will know once you try it, Madam."

Xiao Ruyu stuffed the chestnut cake into Concubine Le's hand and looked at her with a smile.

[In the storybook, Concubine Le's fate was so tragic, so she deserves a sweet life in this life.]

The soft and glutinous chestnut cake melts in your mouth, and the sweet taste overflows in your mouth.

Concubine Le blinked her eyes, full of surprise.

"This chestnut cake is really delicious. The princess has a unique taste."

"Princess, I still have to reply, so I'll take my leave now."

Eunuch Li lowered his head and retreated.

"There are only these two kinds of food in the palace. This princess is tired of them."

Xiao Ruyu lay bored in Concubine Le's arms, looking at the birds flying in the sky with boredom.

Birds are freer than those of them who live in the deep palace.

Concubine Le was stunned and thought for a moment.

"Since I entered the palace, I have never left it."

When Xiao Ruyu heard this, she became interested. She sat up and an idea quickly formed in her mind.

"Why don't we go out of the palace to have some fun? The market outside the palace is quite lively."

Xiao Ruyu's words moved Concubine Le, but if she wanted to leave the palace now, she had to ask Emperor Shang Wen for permission first.

She touched Xiao Ruyu's face helplessly and said, "Princess, if you want to go out, go out. As a concubine, it is not so easy for me to leave the palace."

Xiao Ruyu was also a little disappointed and pouted.

"Princess, it's time to eat."

After Eleven prepared the lotus seed soup, he went to look for Xiao Ruyu, and happened to run into her and Le Fei together.

"Since the princess is going to have dinner, I will leave first."

Concubine Le reluctantly let go of Xiao Ruyu and left the Queen's Palace.

[Eleven, the palace is so boring, let's go out and play. ]

Xiao Ruyu was carried back to the bedroom by Eleven to have dinner. She was still thinking about what she had just said to Concubine Le.

Eleven refused without even thinking about it.

"No, it's too dangerous outside the palace. Princess should stay inside the palace."

Xiao Ruyu felt a little disappointed when he heard this.

She knew that with Eleven's stubbornness, the possibility of persuading him to take her out to play was almost zero.

So what should we do?

Xiao Ruyu held her chin, and after a moment her eyes lit up.

Save the country in a roundabout way and make a feint to the east and attack in the west!

There was a layer of mist in her watery eyes, and her soft voice was trembling a little.

[But I miss my grandfather. I haven’t seen him for thirty-six days and eight hours.]

[Since I can’t go out of the palace to play, then please take me to the Marquis’ Mansion to meet my grandfather. ]

Eleven saw that she was a little loose in this state, and Xiao Ruyu took advantage of the situation and grabbed his hand and shook him.

"It's only noon now. We can come back in the evening. Nothing will happen."

This trick never gets old!

Eleven relaxed and looked at her helplessly.

"Then Eleventh, go and ask the Queen for instructions now."

[Okay, okay, 11th is the best. ]

When Empress Duan heard that Xiao Ruyu wanted to go to the Marquis' Mansion to see her grandfather, she did not try to stop her. She just repeatedly told Eleven to take good care of the princess.

After giving the instructions, she was still a little worried, so she arranged for a few guards to follow Xiao Ruyu out of the palace.

In the afternoon, Eleven received the token from Queen Duan and took Xiao Ruyu out of the palace.

As soon as she came out of the palace, Xiao Ruyu felt the air was fresh.

She jumped out of Eleven's arms and wanted to walk by herself, but he held her hand tightly.

"There are too many people outside, Princess, you must not go alone."

[Oh, it's okay, Eleven. I won't run around.]

Xiao Ruyu turned around and saw the guards following her, and pouted with a look of grievance.

[Why are there so many people following you? Eleven, tell them to stop following you.]

Eleven shook his head and reminded in a calm tone.

"These are sent by the Queen to protect the princess. They cannot be dismissed."

[Then you can ask them to stay away from us and just protect us from a distance. ]

[Hmm… a hundred meters away will do. ]

Unable to persuade Xiao Ruyu, Eleven had no choice but to continue giving instructions.

The market was crowded with people, and there was an endless stream of horse-drawn carriages driving out. Various shouts and singing mixed together, making the place noisy and bustling.

Xiao Ruyu looked at these things with curiosity, then pulled Eleven to the roadside pastry stall.

[Empress Le likes these cakes. I'll bring some back. She'll definitely be happy.]

"Pack this, this, and that. Put them all up for me."

Pointing at the date cakes, chestnut cakes, persimmon cakes, and fried dough twist cakes on the stalls...

Xiao Ruyu waved his hand and asked the boss to pack up some of these things.
