Chapter 321 Sensation
Chu Ci pulled Fan Jingrui out of the yard in a hurry. After walking for a long time, she came to her senses and realized that she seemed to have acted stupidly again under the impulse.
So, as a matter of course, she threw this difficult problem to Fan Jingrui, blinking her bright eyes and said innocently, "Husband, where are we going now?"
"I was so impulsive that I haven't figured out where to go next. I can only rely on you, my husband, to come up with a comprehensive plan."
Upon hearing this, Fan Jingrui chuckled and reached out to pinch Chu Ci's pink cheek. His eyes were filled with deep affection and he said softly, "My lady, are you happy like this?"
Chu Ci blushed slightly when she heard this, and her cheeks instantly turned a blush like the sunset. She said softly, "Husband, did you see that?"
"I thought I acted well enough to fool everyone."
Fan Jingrui raised the corner of his mouth slightly, with a hint of teasing in his eyes, and said: "Well, my lady, you really acted well."
"If I didn't know your character so well, I would have been fooled by your seemingly impulsive and thoughtless behavior."
Chu Ci always knew that Fan Jingrui was willing to go along with him.
But being indulged so unconditionally, Chu Ci couldn't help but blush, and said with a hint of worry: "Husband, you obey me so unconditionally. Aren't you afraid that the prince will blame you in the future..."
Upon hearing this, Fan Jingrui's eyes were filled with even more teasing, and a meaningful arc appeared at the corner of his mouth. He slowly leaned close to Chu Ci's ear and said in a low voice, "My lady, it's easier to use someone with a weak spot."
"The prince knows that you and I have concerns, and he will think that we are in better control, so there is no need to worry."
Chu Ci couldn't help but complain in his heart: Who said that the ancients were honest?
The number of these people's minds is beyond imagination. I'm afraid that even the number of hornets cannot compare to them.
The key is that each of them is a master of acting, and their acting skills are so superb that people are completely unprepared.
Chu Ci even wondered if his impulsive behavior in the yard just now was seen as a joke by the prince and others?
Stop, stop, nothing can be delved into in detail.
Sometimes, asking too many questions will only put you in endless trouble.
It’s better to be ignorant!
As the saying goes, "When the water is too clear, there will be no fish; when the person is too observant, there will be no followers." If you turn a blind eye to everything, you may be able to live more freely and comfortably.
Chu Ci prepared herself mentally, took a deep breath, and tried to calm her slightly chaotic mind. Then she said with a look of resentment, "Husband, you haven't answered my question yet. Where are we going now?"
"We can't just go back like this, right? That would be so embarrassing."
"I just came out regardless of your wishes. If I go back now, won't I be laughed at?"
Fan Jingrui turned to look at the young eunuch who was looking around not far away, smiled slightly, and said slowly: "We have been in Northern Xinjiang for a while, but we have not yet officially taken charge of the streets of Northern Xinjiang."
"Now that the two little tails are away, it's a good opportunity for my husband and I to go out for a walk and experience the unique customs and culture of the northern border."
Fan Jingrui's proposal was exactly what Chu Ci wanted.
It’s just that there’s really not much to see in the war-torn northern border.
Although most of the shops on the street were open, their facades looked extremely deserted.
The goods were displayed in a messy manner, and the shop owners were guarding their stalls listlessly, their eyes full of worry.
The occasional shouts and cries of killing that came from not far away were like bursts of muffled thunder, terrifying everyone.
In such an environment, who would focus on shopping?
Everyone was in a hurry, most of them just finding what they needed and then leaving in a hurry, as if every moment they stayed would engulf them in the haze of war.
Although she had never actually reached the battlefield, Chu Ci felt the cruelty of war firsthand. The shock and grief struck her heart. Unconsciously, tears welled up in her eyes, slid down her fair cheeks, and dripped onto the war-torn land.
Her lips trembled slightly, her throat was choked, she wanted to speak but couldn't make a sound, and could only let her sadness and helplessness turn into tears and flow.
When Fan Jingrui saw this scene, he felt very distressed. He just hugged Chu Ci tightly in his arms and comforted her with his warm embrace.
He patted her back gently, without saying a word, and just stayed with her quietly until Chu Ci's emotions gradually stabilized and she stopped sobbing.
At this time, Fan Jingrui gently asked: "My wife, shall we continue shopping? If you don't want to go shopping anymore, I will accompany you back."
Chu Ci gently wiped away her tears with her sleeve, slowly raised her head, looked at Fan Jingrui with a firm gaze, and said in a choked but resounding voice, "Husband, I want to help them."
"If I hadn't seen it before, it wouldn't have been a big deal, but now that I've seen it, I can't just sit back and watch. I want to do whatever I can, no matter how small."
"My lady, just do whatever you want." Fan Jingrui still didn't ask the reason. His eyes were full of trust and support, and his tone was firm and powerful.
Seeing that Fan Jingrui supported him as always, Chu Ci thought of his own ideas.
It was rare that her mood improved a little. A playful smile appeared on her face and she said, "Then my husband is not allowed to regret it."
Fan Jingrui suddenly felt something was wrong. He had a bad premonition in his heart, but he couldn't figure out why no matter how hard he racked his brains.
I could only bite the bullet and pretend to be calm and said, "Don't worry, I won't regret it."
However, when Chu Ci started to act, buying whatever he saw, clearing out an entire street in just a few minutes, and showing no signs of stopping, and even getting more intense, Fan Jingrui was dumbfounded.
He looked at the piles of items and the dwindling wallet, feeling extremely regretful. He wished he could travel back in time and cover the mouth of his boastful self.
At this moment, his face was full of helplessness and a wry smile. He could only follow Chu Ci and keep paying the bill.
The consequence of Chu Ci's crazy shopping spree was that the couple was surrounded by nearby merchants and people who had rushed over after hearing the news.
"Madam, we still have 200 sets of leather jackets in our small warehouse. Do you want any?" A leather jacket seller asked eagerly with a big smile on his face.
"Madam, madam, I have the finest silks in all colors, please take a look!" A silk merchant shouted at the top of his voice, equally unwilling to be outdone.
Even the owner of the porcelain shop came forward. "Sir, my porcelain is exquisite. You will definitely not lose out if you buy it!"
"And my rouge and powder are all the latest styles!" The woman selling rouge was not to be outdone.
"Female Bodhisattva, I have some fresh vegetables here, would you like some?" A vegetable farmer squeezed to the front and looked at Chu Ci expectantly.
…
Everyone was talking at once, their voices rising and falling, all eagerly hoping that Chu Ci would patronize their business.
