Chapter 1428 This Father and Son
Seeing her like this, Zhu Feng frowned slightly.
She is now scarred and more sensitive than before. If you get a little closer to her, she will avoid looking at you and turn her head away.
Like a snail, it shrinks itself into a fragile shell.
In fact, for him, this fragile protection could be completely crushed with just a slight movement of a finger.
But now, seeing her like this, he couldn't bring himself to do it.
There was silence for a moment, followed by a soft sigh.
Some things have a long way to go.
So, this carriage, which didn't seem that spacious for four people, was forcibly divided into two extremes. One side was lively and joyful, with happy laughter from time to time, while the two people on the other side were silent and gloomy, not saying a word.
Although Zhu Chengxuan was trying to protect Xin Ping, he was still listening to the movements behind him.
Feeling that the atmosphere was not good to remain so depressing, he turned around cautiously and asked softly, "Father, where are we going?"
When he asked this question, Nan Yan and Xin Ping turned around and looked at Zhu Feng.
Naturally, he was the one who made the decision on this trip.
Zhu Feng said, "We'll get off right in front. Today is the Winter Solstice, and the roads are busy. Let's walk around and then go to a restaurant in the city for something to eat."
As soon as he heard about eating, Xinping immediately clapped his hands with joy.
"I want to eat!"
Everyone laughed.
So the carriage drove to a less crowded street ahead and finally stopped. Xiao Shunzi and Ran Xiaoyu hurried forward and helped them get off the carriage.
Zhu Chengxuan still held Xinping in his arms.
Zhu Feng warned: "Take good care of your sister."
Zhu Chengxuan said, "My son—" Before he could finish his words, he saw Zhu Feng frowning and immediately changed his words, "Son, I understand."
Nan Yan also told Xinping not to call her "Father Emperor" or "Mother Concubine". Although she didn't quite understand, she nodded obediently.
The group followed Zhu Feng forward.
Walk one more street corner and you will reach the center of Peking City.
The most lively and prosperous market.
Because it is the winter solstice, there are a lot of people on the streets, and some people have already prepared New Year's goods in advance. The street stalls are full, and the shops are all open. All the vendors and shop owners open their voices and shout loudly to attract customers.
The restaurants and eateries along the street are also bustling with activity.
The waiter kept greeting the passers-by. After a while, a tray of buns came out of the steamer, and white steam rose up, covering most of the street.
These scenes are not found in the palace.
Xinping's eyes widened as he watched.
As for Nan Yan, although she had lived a commoner's life since she was a child, she had rarely had the opportunity to stroll around like this after so many years in the palace, and she was reluctant to leave the streets.
Zhu Feng didn't rush them, but just strolled with them. He found it very interesting to look at those new and interesting gadgets.
I walked into a small stall selling silk flowers.
Although the silk flowers from the folk were not as exquisite and elegant as those in the palace, the silk flowers here were brightly colored and had different styles. Xinping was so delighted that she reached out and took Zhu Chengxuan's sleeve and shook it.
"elder brother."
"What's wrong?"
"want--"
As he spoke, he pointed to the colorful silk flowers.
Zhu Chengxuan couldn't help laughing: "You are so young, and you love beauty so much? Okay, brother will buy it for you."
As he said that, he bought her several with his own money.
Nan Yan came over and saw this, frowned and said, "How can I let my brother buy things?"
Zhu Feng stood aside, smiling and said, "It's okay."
“…”
"As a brother, you should love your sister more."
After he said that, Xinping seemed to be encouraged. She wanted everything she saw along the way. Zhu Chengxuan had no heart to refuse such a cute and close sister, so he basically bought whatever she asked.
Zhu Feng was cheering from the side.
After a while, Xinping had no more space in his hands, so Xiao Shunzi and the others came up to help.
Nan Yan was helpless and said to Zhu Feng, "Emperor—this won't do. If we let her do whatever she wants, she'll definitely cause chaos in the future."
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "It's okay."
Zhu Chengxuan also said: "My sister is so obedient, she won't do that."
“…”
Facing this father and son, Nan Yan was speechless.
After a while, they came to another small stall selling jewelry. The stall owner was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was pushing a small cart with a piece of black satin on it, and various kinds of jewelry were placed on the satin.
There are earrings, hairpins, bracelets, and bracelets.
The dazzling array of items is overwhelming.
Nan Yan was just passing by, but her eyes suddenly caught sight of something bright red, and her steps couldn't help but pause.
"Um?"
When she paused, Xinping also saw the items on it. He was delighted and immediately pointed at one of them and said, "I want it!"
Zhu Chengxuan asked, "What do you want?"
"that!"
Her chubby little finger was pointing at nothing else but the bright red coral bead bracelet that Nan Yan had just seen.
Of course, there is no shortage of such things in the palace. Moreover, this string of coral beads is different from the ones in the palace. The coral beads in the palace are much more exquisite, while the quality of this string of coral beads is not very good, dull and not so perfect.
But it is also a rare good thing.
When Nan Yan saw it, she immediately frowned.
When Zhu Feng saw the bracelet, he felt a pang of excitement. Zhu Chengxuan, on the other hand, immediately asked the owner, "How much is this?"
The boss was about to answer happily when Nan Yan suddenly said, "You are not allowed to buy this!"
“…”
Everyone was stunned for a moment and turned to look at her.
Xiao Xinping immediately pursed his lips: "I want it."
Zhu Chengxuan also said carefully: "Mother, I'll buy this one, my sister likes it."
Nan Yan said: "No."
Her serious look made Zhu Chengxuan hesitate to speak. The two children looked at Zhu Feng. Zhu Feng hesitated for a moment and said, "It's just a bracelet. Just buy it for the child."
"If you say no, it means no!"
This time, Nan Yan was unusually strict and refused to negotiate at all.
The two children looked at Zhu Feng eagerly.
Zhu Feng said, "Why are you taking this so seriously? It's a big holiday."
"no."
“…”
Normally, everyone was afraid of Zhu Feng. No one dared to oppose his words. This was the first time that someone had rejected him so firmly. If it were someone else, they would have been dragged away and beheaded long ago. But it happened to be Nan Yan again.
Zhu Feng hesitated for a long time.
In the end, the emperor was defeated by the concubine's harsh attitude.
"Well, if you don't want to buy it, then don't buy it."
