While the onlookers were lured out of the city, Zhou Yu and Li Er hurriedly drove back to the palace.
Under the current circumstances, wanting to drive around Luoyang City is simply a pipe dream.
Zhou Yu had already made up his mind to change into casual clothes when he returned.
As for those guards wearing armor, they all had to switch to secret protection.
He didn't want to be treated like a monkey again.
The team started to turn back, and the unhappiest one was the little dumpling.
The little girl huddled in Li Lizhi's arms, her chubby pink face full of frustration.
This was her first time in Luoyang, and she was looking forward to having a good time eating, drinking and having fun here!
Who would have thought that I would encounter such a situation just after I went out?
He turned his head to look at the pedestrians outside the car window, then looked at Zhou Yu who was driving.
After a while, the little girl couldn't help but mutter, "Little Neng-jun, why did those people surround our nest?"
"Because they've never seen a car before, they're bound to be curious. And since we came here by helicopter, we made quite a commotion. When the people knew it was your father sitting in the car, they naturally wanted to come over and take a look."
Zhou Yu understood Xiao Naituanzi's feelings and was naturally willing to explain to her patiently.
Not only that, he also patiently persuaded him, "If Mingda saw something new and interesting on the road, wouldn't he also be curious and go to take a look?"
"That's what it looks like~" The little girl tilted her head and thought for a while, then nodded seriously and said, "If I see something interesting, I will go and take a look~ So I don't blame them~"
"Well, Mingda is really smart. Let's not blame those people. Let's go back and change into casual clothes, then go shopping again."
Zhou Yu smiled, turned to look at the little girl, and then directly told her his plan.
When the little girl heard this, her originally gloomy face instantly broke into a smile.
The car returned to the palace and was soon blocked by a group of people.
However, this time it was not the people of Luoyang City who came, but the officials and garrison commanders who had received the news and rushed to the court to pay homage.
Zhou Yu had no sympathy for Li Er being harassed by these people.
If it weren't for this old man being so arrogant and insisting on driving around Luoyang City, he wouldn't have been surrounded by onlookers.
As for the pregnant Empress Changsun, she could just get a more comfortable carriage to go out.
After making up his mind, Zhou Yu directly instructed Zhang Ananda to make arrangements as soon as possible.
As for him and the little princesses, they all changed into common people's clothes.
Of course, even if they are civilians, their clothes are much better than those of ordinary people.
Living in the Tang Dynasty where hierarchy is respected, Zhou Yu had no intention of deliberately hiding his identity and then pretending to be cool.
His purpose was to take the little princesses to visit Luoyang City. He was naturally happy to avoid unnecessary troubles by using their clothing and identities.
After everyone changed their clothes, the three carriages left the palace in a low-key manner.
Zhou Yu originally planned to leave behind the brothers Li Yuan, Li Er and Li Chengqian, but just as they were about to set off, Li Yuan hurriedly followed with Li Chengqian and Li Tai.
As for Li Er, although he wanted to follow, he had to deal with the officials from Luoyang City who came to see him, so he could only watch everyone leave with a sad face.
Without the car to attract attention, and with many people attracted outside the city by the news spread by Zhou Yu, and the accompanying guards all in plain clothes, the group quickly blended in with the pedestrians on the street.
Luoyang City is the Eastern Capital after all, and the streets are not much less lively than Chang'an City.
The sunlight shines on the triple-eaved bell and drum tower, forming staggered shadows on the ground.
Various hawking sounds continued to come from the street stalls, along with the aroma of various foods, constantly seeping into the carriage.
The red-painted wooden buildings facing the street were hung with colorful silk signs. A silk shop clerk spread out a piece of aquamarine silk, attracting a woman wearing a veil hat to stop and touch it.
The aroma of roasted lamb wafted from the stall of a Hu merchant on the opposite side of the street, causing passersby to swallow their saliva frequently.
Amid the jingling of camel bells, a caravan carrying Persian carpets pushed its way through the crowd. The camel humps brushed against the bamboo sheds of the teahouse, startling the scholars who were competing in tea-drinking so much that their shirts got wet.
The little girl lifted the curtain of the car with curiosity on her face, and happened to see some Persians with distinctive looks. However, her gaze did not linger on those Persians, but looked at the Hu merchants who were busy at the roadside stalls.
Zhou Yu saw this and knew that the little girl was greedy again, so he stopped the carriage and said, "Let's get off and walk. We can buy some food there."
"Yeah, that's what I thought."
Upon hearing this, the little kid nodded his head hurriedly.
As she spoke, a smile could not help but bloom on her chubby little face.
After everyone got off the bus, the little girl immediately walked with her short legs and couldn't wait to go to Hu Shang's kebab stall.
The Hu merchant had already noticed the gorgeously dressed Zhou Yu and his group. Before Zhou Yu even approached, he spoke in his broken Chang'an dialect, smiling at the little girl, and said, "Young guest, do you want to eat here or take it away?"
"Hehe~ Do you want to try it first?"
The greedy little girl has already mastered the communication skills with the vendors.
She was not led astray by the words of the Hu merchant, but made the request with a smile.
Seeing that the little girl was so smart, Hu Shang was obviously stunned, but then he enthusiastically handed over a skewer of grilled meat.
There was no way. Faced with such a cute little girl, even if Hu Shang's aesthetic taste was different from that of the Central Plains, it did not affect his love for the little girl.
"Hey, thank you, boss. If it's good, we will buy a lot~"
The little girl took the skewers and first said thank you with a smile, then took big bites of the skewers.
The cute look made the passers-by around him slow down their pace.
The little girl chewed the thumb-sized piece of meat in big mouthfuls.
Maybe because of the lack of seasoning, the skewers did not taste as good as modern grilled lamb skewers.
But in terms of meat quality alone, this skewer is better.
Overall, the little girl was very satisfied with the kebab.
Seeing the little girl eating with her mouth full of oil, Zhou Yu immediately bought a skewer for each of them.
As for why I didn’t buy more, of course it was to save room for other delicious food!
You know, Luoyang, the eastern capital, is not small. You may not be able to walk around all the streets in one place, and you will be full of food.
The group bought some skewers and continued walking forward without doing anything like the story of instructing the Hu merchants on how to use cumin and chili peppers.
On the one hand, the reason why Hu merchants are called Hu merchants is that they are no longer citizens of the Tang Dynasty.
On the other hand, there seemed to be something lively going on not far ahead. While a few people were buying skewers, many people had already trotted over.
Although the little princesses don’t like being watched, they still want to go up and take a look when they encounter something interesting.
