Chapter 586 Lin Jiayou handed it over silently, save some money!!!
During the lunch break, Gu Qingchen pulled Qian Zhenyun to hide under the sycamore tree.
"I figured it out!" Gu Qingchen slapped his thigh, "The little prince must have been kept too strictly in the palace and held back for too long, so he came out to get some fresh air!"
Qian Zhenyun suddenly realized: "That's right! There are so many rules in the palace, how can a child like him endure it? If I were him, I would be suffocated to death!"
"That's right!" Gu Qingchen nodded vigorously. "Look, everything he sees is new and interesting. He even finds the roof of our shabby private school interesting. He must have never seen the outside world."
As the two were talking, they saw the little prince walking towards them, surrounded by several eunuchs.
"Gu Qingchen." The little prince walked up to her, his big eyes sparkling. "Can you take me to see the roof you mentioned?"
Gu Qingchen glanced at the nervous eunuchs behind him and shook his head: "Forget it, you have too many followers, it's not convenient."
The little prince turned his head and looked behind him, frowning: "They are indeed in the way."
After saying this, he waved to the eunuchs and said, "You all leave. I want to spend some time alone with my classmates."
"Your Highness, this is absolutely unacceptable!" The leading eunuch was anxious, "Your safety—"
"It's okay." The little prince waved his hand. "It's just in the private school, what danger could there be?"
Several eunuchs looked at each other, but ultimately did not dare to disobey the prince's wishes. They could only retreat far to the side, but their eyes were still fixed on this side.
The little prince nodded with satisfaction and looked at Gu Qingchen again: "Is it okay now?"
Gu Qingchen looked around and found that although the eunuchs were still there, at least they were not sticking close to them.
"Okay." She stood up. "But what's the point of just looking at the rooftops? I'll take you to a more interesting place."
Qian Zhenyun anxiously tugged at her sleeve and said, "Sister, where are you taking the prince?"
"Go out!" Gu Qingchen said as a matter of course, "What's so fun in this private school? The world outside is more exciting!"
Qian Zhenyun was almost frightened by her: "Sister, are you crazy? Taking His Royal Highness the Crown Prince out privately will cost you your head!"
"What are you afraid of?" Gu Qingchen waved his hands carelessly. "We're not going to any dangerous place. We're just walking around nearby."
When the little prince heard the word "out", his eyes immediately lit up: "Can I really go out?"
"Of course!" Gu Qingchen patted his chest and assured, "Sister, I've been hanging around in this academy for several days and I'm very familiar with it!"
She looked around to make sure the eunuchs hadn't noticed this place, then lowered her voice and said to them, "Follow me, I know a secret passage."
As she spoke, she took the lead and walked towards the back wall of the academy.
There was a small door there that was usually used to transport miscellaneous items. The lock on the door had been broken for a long time. She had made a special note of it when she discovered it a few days ago.
Qian Zhenyun was feeling very nervous, but seeing that Gu Qingchen and the prince were so excited, he had no choice but to follow.
Lin Jiayou followed silently behind without saying a word, but there was a hint of complicated emotions in his eyes.
The four little kids quietly came to the back wall, and Gu Qingchen pointed to a small door covered by vines at the base of the wall.
"Come on, I'll take you to see the great times outside!" Gu Qingchen said, and bent down first to go out.
The little prince looked curiously at the hole that was only wide enough for one person to pass through, with excitement flashing in his eyes.
He imitated Gu Qingchen and crouched down to get out, followed closely by Qian Zhenyun and Lin Jiayou.
As soon as he left the private school, the little prince was attracted by the scene before him.
The wide streets are bustling with people, with hawking and shouting sounds coming one after another, and a wide variety of novel stalls on display.
He opened his obsidian eyes wide and looked left and right, as if trying to take in all the excitement.
"Wow! So many people!" the little prince exclaimed, "And this, what is this?" He pointed to a stall selling candy figures, his face full of curiosity.
Gu Qingchen raised his chin proudly: "This is called a sugar man, it's so sweet!"
However, their group, especially the little prince's bright yellow robe, was too eye-catching in the crowd.
Passersby all looked sideways, and some bolder ones even stopped, pointing at the little prince and whispering to each other.
"Look, is that child wearing the prince's colors?"
"Shh, don't talk nonsense, why are people from the palace here?"
"But the material and color are clearly royal!"
Gu Qingchen felt a little uncomfortable listening to these discussions. She pulled the little prince's sleeve and whispered, "Your clothes are too conspicuous. You should change them next time you go out."
The little prince didn't care about these. He walked to a stall selling rattles and looked at the colorful rattles with shining eyes.
"Hey, how do you play this?" he asked, pointing to a rattle.
The stall owner enthusiastically picked it up and shook it, making a crisp sound. The little prince was immediately attracted and reached out to take it.
"Boss, how much is this?" asked the little prince.
Gu Qingchen then remembered that none of them had brought any money. She felt her empty purse and looked at Qian Zhenyun.
"Qian Gun Gun, do you have the silver?" Gu Qingchen asked.
Qian Zhenyun shook his head, looking innocent: "I didn't bring it when I came out."
When the little prince heard this, his face immediately fell and his eyes were full of disappointment.
At this moment, Lin Jiayou took out a small purse from his arms and handed it over silently.
"Here are some." His voice was soft, yet reassuringly calm.
Gu Qingchen's eyes lit up. He took the purse and opened it. There were a few pieces of silver and some copper coins inside.
"Lin Jiayou, you are so rich!" Gu Qingchen exclaimed, "But is this enough?"
Lin Jiayou pursed his lips. Before he came to Bailu Academy, his uncle did give him a lot of silver and money, but it was probably not enough to support these people making trouble on the street.
The stall owner looked at the children, a shrewd gleam in his eyes.
He took a look at the little prince's bright yellow robe, then at the clothes of the other children, and he already had a plan in mind.
"This rattle usually sells for five cents each, but seeing that these young masters are so generous, I'll give you ten cents for it," said the stall owner with a smile.
Gu Qingchen frowned, feeling that the price was a little off, but she didn't quite understand the market, so she could only take out ten cents from Lin Jiayou's pocket and hand it to the stall owner.
The little prince took the rattle and shook it excitedly. Listening to the crisp sound, a bright smile appeared on his face.
"That's fun!" he said happily. "Let's go see something else!"
