The streets of Jizhou are bustling with people coming and going. The sounds of shouting, hawking, bargaining, and noise are endless, and the place is filled with a strong smell of fireworks.
Emperor Yongxi held one of them by the hand and said gently, "When you are out and about, don't call me Your Majesty. Call me Dad. Do you understand?"
"I know, Dad."
The two little kids excitedly called out "Dad". Even at the age of five, they already knew a lot of things.
They have been raised by Mrs. Bu since they were young and have always been said to be fatherless children. These words about their father killing them have made their minds very sensitive and their personalities somewhat introverted.
Now the gloom between his brows is gone and he looks cheerful.
Bei Lingyao's mouth twitched. If one dares to speak, two dare to shout.
She and Princess Fu'an walked slowly together, accompanied by maids and servants and several guards.
There are secret guards protecting us in secret, so we didn’t bring too many people with us when we traveled, otherwise the streets would be congested.
"Selling candied haws, candied haws, sour and sweet candied haws..."
"Hey, there are candied haws. Let's buy a few and bring them back for Ping Ping An."
Princess Fu'an's eyes lit up, and she took Bei Lingyao's hand and went towards the shouting sound.
"Dad, Dad, we want to eat candied haws."
"Okay, two skewers for me, old man."
"Three skewers, Daddy will eat too."
As soon as An An finished speaking, Ping Ping said: "I have money, I will buy them all and bring them back for Mom and everyone to eat together."
"I have money too. Mother said I should carry some money with me when I go out."
An An took out a small purse from her arms. Bei Lingyao had prepared one for each of them. It contained a few copper coins and small change.
The smile on Emperor Yongxi's face never faded. "Daddy is richer, so you don't have to pay."
As he spoke, Emperor Yongxi also took out a purse, which contained small change and copper coins that he had asked the guards to prepare for him when he went out.
"Thank you, Daddy"
"Daddy is so nice"
The old man selling candied haws was stunned with a smile on his face.
The passersby around looked at this warm and loving scene of a loving father and a filial son, and kind smiles appeared on their faces.
"Ha, what a scheming person."
Princess Fu'an was shocked when she saw the heartwarming scene not far away.
Bei Lingyao has been paying attention to this side, and people who don't know would think that they are really father and son.
"well"
Princess Fu'an sighed inwardly. If that hadn't happened, or if it had been the emperor's younger brother, Ping'an would have been his child.
It’s also because my younger brother is too disappointing.
Princess Fu'an was very disappointed with Bei Lingyao. From Bei Lingyao's perspective, she felt that there was no need for her to enter the palace.
But from the perspective of the emperor's younger brother, Princess Fu'an couldn't help but want to make it happen. It was really contradictory.
Pingan'an is beautiful and cute, sensible and considerate, which makes people feel soft-hearted.
If the imperial brother and Jinghua were together, she might have a little nephew, and the imperial brother would have a successor.
Princess Fu'an, who was daydreaming, was suddenly startled. She glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw a woman walking into the embroidery pavilion not far away with her head lowered. The profile of her face looked familiar.
"Hey, that person"
"What?"
Bei Lingyao looked at Princess Fu'an who had stopped and followed her gaze, but saw nothing.
"I just saw a woman. Her profile looks so familiar."
Bei Lingyao paused, "Did the Princess meet someone she knows?"
Princess Fu'an couldn't explain it either. "She's probably not an acquaintance. The woman was wearing a gray dress, a headscarf, and her face was a little yellow..."
Princess Fu'an's expression suddenly became strange and gloomy.
Bei Lingyao looked at her and saw Princess Fu'an said, "I'm reminded of that child bride. The woman just now looked like the child bride."
Princess Fu'an actually couldn't remember what her former husband's child bride looked like. "Let's go and take a look."
Bei Lingyao glanced at Emperor Yongxi and the two children, then walked towards the embroidery pavilion with Princess Fu'an.
Anyone who knows Princess Fu'an knows that the former prince consort's child bride is a knot in her heart.
"Madam Wang, your embroidery is getting better and better. This time I will give you a two-cent increase."
"Shopkeeper, could you please raise the price a few cents? I put a lot of effort and care into this embroidery..."
Before Madam Wang could finish her words, the shopkeeper interrupted her, "Madam Wang, the price we offer at our embroidery shop is the highest in all of Jizhou. If you take this piece of embroidery to another shop, it would only be worth two taels of silver. We've already given you a few more coins. If you don't want to sell it, forget it."
"Sell, sell"
Madam Wang quickly pushed the five embroidery pieces over and took ten taels of silver and a dozen copper coins from the shopkeeper.
Then he carefully put it in his arms and left in a hurry with his head down, just in time to bump into Bei Lingyao and Princess Fu'an.
"Ouch"
Bei Lingyao pulled Princess Fu'an down and supported her in time.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Mrs. Wang knew that she had bumped into someone and apologized without even looking up.
"It doesn't matter"
Bei Lingyao smiled slightly, and saw Lady Wang look up and see her and Princess Fu'an. Her eyes narrowed and the blood drained from her face.
Liu Huilan
Princess Fu'an widened her eyes in disbelief.
Bei Lingyao was stunned. She didn't expect that the woman in front of her was the eldest daughter of the Liu family.
She knew that the eldest daughter of the Liu family and her cousin had eloped to Jizhou, with the man working as a teacher and the woman doing some embroidery to earn money, but she didn't expect to meet them here by chance.
Compared with Queen Liu in the palace, the eldest daughter of the Liu family has a sallow complexion, is thin, has pale lips, looks weak, and suffers from severe anemia. From this perspective, they don't look like identical twins at all.
thump!
Liu Huilan wanted to run away instantly, but her legs went limp and her face turned pale with fear, shaking her head repeatedly, "Min, no, I'm Madam Wang. I got the wrong person."
Princess Fu'an had an ugly look on her face. She had just thought it was the same as the dead child bride, but now she knew it was because of Liu Huilan, the eldest daughter of the Liu family.
This is the Empress Liu mentioned in the imperial edict, but she is in Jizhou and has become like this. It seems that she is not living well.
"take away"
Princess Fu'an was very angry. What did the Liu family think of the royal family? They could even let someone impersonate the queen.
No wonder she said that the Queen Liu in the palace was completely different from the former eldest daughter of the Liu family.
Because they looked exactly the same, the Liu family had only one legitimate daughter, and she had fallen into the water and was frightened, everyone murmured but didn't think much about it.
But he never expected that the Liu family would dare to commit the crime of deceiving the emperor.
The matter was of great importance, so Princess Fu'an did not linger in the street for long. She sent someone to inform Emperor Yongxi, and then she and Bei Lingyao hurried back to the villa.
Emperor Yongxi brought Ping Ping'an with him, and his stomach was full. He also asked the guards to pack up some candied haws and some snacks to take back.
"Mom, there are so many delicious foods."
I am very happy today.
"Royal brother, come and see."
Princess Fu'an pulled Emperor Yongxi's sleeve and led him into the room.
"Imperial Sister Let Go"
Emperor Yongxi was helpless and the tug-of-war was inappropriate.
