Chapter 753: Candied Haws
It was uncomfortable enough if I didn't say it, but it became even more aggrieved when I said it, "That Concubine Shen is also a powerful person."
Su Qingcheng agreed with this, "Of course, Dad, don't worry about this. Have some tea."
Prime Minister Su pushed the teacup away and said, "I don't want to drink it."
Then he sat alone for a long time, still feeling uncomfortable. He looked at Su Qingcheng next to him and sighed deeply.
Shen Hanqing and Rong Zhixiao were both wearing casual clothes, so at most they looked a little noble, but their identities were not exposed.
The two walked on the street, with hawkers hawking their wares on both sides and people coming and going, making it a bustling scene.
Rong Zhixiao said something ambiguous, "It's really lively."
Shen Hanqing responded: “Yes.”
Rong Zhixiao followed Shen Hanqing closely and asked, "My lady, is there anything you like? Your husband will buy it for you."
Shen Hanqing turned around and looked into Rong Zhixiao's amber eyes.
It was shallow, clean, and reflected Shen Hanqing's figure.
The Rong Zhixiao in front of him seemed to be just a boy from an ordinary family, not a decisive emperor.
Shen Hanqing retracted her gaze, “There’s nothing I like.”
Rong Zhixiao thought for a moment, "I don't think I've ever given my wife anything before, and yet you gave me a sachet."
Shen Hanqing didn't answer and continued walking forward.
The person selling jewelry nearby had sharp ears and heard it.
He raised his voice and said, "Sir, how about buying a hairpin for your lady?"
"Look at my hairpin, it suits you very well."
Rong Zhixiao stopped and didn't say whether he wanted it or not immediately. Instead, he asked, "Do you think we're a good match?"
The peddler was a shrewd man. He could tell from the material of the clothes these two people were wearing that it was not cheap. If he could convince them to buy his hairpins, he would make a profit.
So he opened his mouth and said, "Of course they are a perfect match. They are simply a match made in heaven."
Rong Zhixiao was delighted to hear this. He picked up a hairpin, threw down a silver ingot, and chased after Chen Hanqing without looking back.
The peddler's eyes lit up. This ingot of silver was more than enough to buy his entire stall.
Rong Zhixiao caught up with Shen Hanqing and said, "My wife, your husband bought you a hairpin."
Shen Hanqing stopped and took a look.
Rong Zhixiao approached Shen Hanqing, looked at her and said, "Let me put it on for you."
Shen Hanqing didn't refuse, which Rong Zhixiao thought meant she agreed.
Shen Hanqing herself doesn't have many jewelry on her head, so wearing a hairpin doesn't make her look crowded.
After Rong Zhixiao put the hairpin on Shen Hanqing, his eyes seemed to have the brilliance of glass, "My lady looks good in anything she wears."
Shen Hanqing said, “Let’s go.”
Rong Zhixiao looked at Shen Hanqing's back. The hairpin he had put on Shen Hanqing with his own hands swayed gently with Shen Hanqing's movements, which was extremely beautiful.
Maybe what is beautiful is people.
The two continued to move forward. In fact, for Shen Hanqing, there would be nothing new.
After all, there are so many worlds, and there is nothing I haven't seen.
Rong Zhixiao's mind was not on the street, but on Shen Hanqing.
He spoke again: "I wonder if my wife has anything to buy for me?"
It's okay to ask for gifts proactively.
Shen Hanqing tilted her head, reached out and took a candied haws, and stuffed it into Rong Zhixiao's hand.
Of course I paid for it.
Rong Zhixiao was holding a candied haws, and his smile seemed more dazzling than the sun in the sky.
He took a bite and said, "My wife bought it, so it's extra sweet."
Shen Hanqing glanced at him with extreme disgust.
These words gave her goosebumps all over her body.
Rong Zhixiao was still smiling, but there was something else in his smile. "This is my first time eating something like this. I thought it would be sour, but it turned out to be very sweet."
Shen Hanqing opened her mouth and said lightly: “If you like to eat it, buy it all.”
Rong Zhixiao refused, "One is enough. I am not greedy."
These words made Rong Zhixiao seem pitiful.
Shen Hanqing didn’t say anything, but slowed down his pace.
Rong Zhixiao discovered it.
He looked at the remaining candied haws and laughed even more happily.
Rong Zhixiao had noticed before that Shen Hanqing was not that ruthless.
As long as you show a little pity, she will still soften her heart.
He has always been a man who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.
Since I can make her feel soft-hearted, then I should find another way to make her feel even softer.
Shen Hanqing has always been a man of few words, but Rong Zhixiao is different.
Even if Shen Hanqing didn’t speak, he could still continue.
Rong Zhixiao mentioned his past as if inadvertently.
Shen Hanqing heard what Rong Zhixiao wanted to do.
After all, this is not the first time he has used this method.
There is no memory, but the method is very similar.
But Shen Hanqing did not expose Rong Zhixiao.
The two of them didn't know how long they had been walking, and it was getting dark.
Rong Zhixiao said with a lingering feeling, "It's time to go back. If we go back, we won't be able to eat such sweet candied haws anymore."
Shen Hanqing finally couldn't help but speak, "You're not afraid of getting your teeth sour." Along the way, Rong Zhixiao ate at least five strings of candied haws.
Rong Zhixiao smiled faintly and said, "Madam, are you concerned about me?"
Shen Hanqing’s fists were really hard, but she endured and endured, and didn’t hit Rong Zhixiao.
Looking at Shen Hanqing's face that suddenly turned cold, Rong Zhixiao shut up.
Sometimes, moderation is better.
It was completely dark.
The originally bustling streets have become much quieter.
Generally speaking, it is only lively at night during festivals.
Neither Shen Hanqing nor Rong Zhixiao spoke anymore and walked quietly.
Suddenly, Shen Hanqing stopped.
Rong Zhixiao's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked, "What's wrong?"
Shen Hanqing looked at the rooftop that was faintly visible in the darkness, "Someone is coming."
Rong Zhixiao also looked over and said, "It seems so. There are quite a lot."
After a while, many figures appeared in the darkness.
Because he was wearing black, I couldn't see clearly.
An arrow flew through the air, but Rong Zhixiao did not move.
Shen Hanqing pulled Rong Zhixiao back, and the arrow brushed Rong Zhixiao's shoes and fell.
Then all those people in the darkness launched an attack.
Shen Hanqing said, “Don’t move.”
Rong Zhixiao put his hand down and said in a somewhat obedient manner, "Okay."
Then he stood there and did nothing.
In the darkness, he saw the hem of Shen Hanqing's skirt fluttering, like a blooming flower, very beautiful.
He couldn't even hear any screams, only soft, shallow sobs.
The smell of blood gradually became stronger.
After a while, Shen Hanqing’s voice sounded again, “Let’s go.”
Rong Zhixiao looked at Shen Hanqing, reached out and wiped her cheek with his fingertips, "It's dirty."
Shen Hanqing said indifferently: "Go back and wash."
Rong Zhixiao rubbed the blood on his fingertips and replied, "Okay."
The two walked away.
Where there were people lying on the ground, a group of well-trained people appeared and quickly cleared the street.
