Chapter 80 It’s time to fulfill your promise

After arriving at the prince's bedroom, Shen Chuwei got on a carriage under the guidance of Liu Xi.

She opened the curtain and saw Xiao Jinyan sitting in the carriage in a moon-white dress. In the dim candlelight, she could clearly see Xiao Jinyan's narrow and long eyes looking over at her.

Xiao Jinyan looked at Shen Chuwei's outfit, which was no different from the last time she went hunting for the Autumn Examination, except that she had a face scarf on her cheek, but he didn't feel it was out of place at all.

"Your Highness." Shen Chuwei lowered the car curtain and sat in a position not too close to or too far from Xiao Jinyan.

After sitting down, she raised her little face and asked curiously: "Your Highness, where are we going?"

Xiao Jinyan picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, "Leave the palace."

When Shen Chuwei heard about leaving the palace, her eyes lit up. She had been here for such a long time, but had only been out of the palace once. She had seen the delicious food on Chang'an Street, but had not eaten much of it.

Now that you can leave the palace, are you still worried about not being able to eat those delicious foods?

The creaking sound of the carriage's wheels was just like Shen Chuwei's mood at the moment, extremely excited.

When they arrived at Chang'an Avenue, Wei Chi opened the curtains and Shen Chuwei was the first to get off the carriage and stood aside waiting.

Xiao Jinyan then got out of the carriage and glanced at the busy streets. "Let's go."

"Okay." Shen Chuwei was inevitably excited and nervous as it was her first time following Xiao Jinyan out. She was afraid of doing something that would displease Xiao Jinyan.

The prosperous scenes described in history books are very different when I witness them with my own eyes today.

There are stalls selling snacks and small items on both sides of the street, which is comparable to the modern bustling pedestrian streets.

Shen Chuwei saw an old man making dough figurines and wanted to go over to take a look. She retracted her gaze to Xiao Jinyan and found that he was walking forward without stopping. She reached out and grabbed his sleeve, "Master."

Being outside is different from being in the palace, so one has to be flexible in how one addresses others. There is no need for Xiao Jinyan to teach her at all.

Xiao Jinyan stopped and looked back at Shen Chuwei, "Hmm?"

Shen Chuwei pointed at the old man not far away and looked at him expectantly, "I want to see the face man."

Xiao Jinyan followed her line of sight and saw an old man making dough figurines. He then looked at Shen Chuwei and asked, "Do you like it?"

Shen Chu nodded. She had never tasted the dough figurines before, so she wondered if they were delicious.

Xiao Jinyan: "Let's go and take a look."

When the two of them arrived at the stall, the old man greeted them warmly, "Two young men, do you want to buy anything?"

Xiao Jinyan glanced at the dough figurines on the shelf, but they were all characters from operas. He said to Shen Chuwei, "Pick two for yourself."

Shen Chuwei's eyebrows curved slightly, she likes the domineering CEO style like you, generous and rich!

hey-hey!

She squatted down in front of the stall and glanced at the dough figurines on the shelf in front of her. The dough figurines all tasted similar, so she picked two good-looking handsome dough figurines.

The old man looked at the tall and graceful young man in front of him, and suddenly an idea came to his mind, "Young man, I think you are quite handsome, do you want me to make a dough figurine based on your appearance?"

Xiao Jinyan stood aside and watched quietly without saying a word.

Shen Chuwei took it as his acquiescence and said, "Okay."

"Please wait a moment, gentlemen. It will be ready soon." The old man happily began to make dough figurines with skillful techniques. It took him some time to make two dough figurines, one for Shen Chuwei and the other for Xiao Jinyan.

"Okay, young master, please take it."

Before Shen Chuwei could touch it, she saw a hand reaching out and taking away her dough figurine.

She had no choice but to take the dough figurine of Xiao Jinyan, the one with the cold and paralyzed face, which was somewhat similar.

Xiao Jinyan lowered her eyes and looked at the dough figurine in her hand. Like her, it was also wearing a face towel. The delicate little face was 70% similar to Shen Chuwei.

The old man's craftsmanship is good. "Wai Chi, it's appreciated."

Wei Chi took out a few ounces of silver and handed it to the stall owner.

The old man looked in disbelief at the heavy amount of silver in his hand. He could not even make one or two taels of silver in a year of selling dough.

Shen Chuwei took the dough figurine of Xiao Jinyan and looked at the dough figurine in Xiao Jinyan's hand, not knowing when he was going to give it to her.

After walking for a while, we arrived at a pastry shop called Dayazhai.

Shen Chu followed Xiao Jinyan in with curiosity.

As soon as I walked in, a waiter greeted me warmly, "Sir, what kind of pastries do you need?"

Xiao Jinyan said: "Tea fruit."

Shen Chuwei was looking at the cakes in the store curiously when she heard Xiao Jinyan talking about tea cakes. Her eyes paused and she looked up at Xiao Jinyan.

Xiao Jinyan happened to look over and said, "I promised you before."

The surprise came so unexpectedly that Shen Chu was stunned for a moment. How could he not be surprised when the prince who painted cakes suddenly brought him cakes?

"Thank you, Master."

The waiter brought three types of tea cakes for them to choose from.

Shen Chuwei waved her hand slightly, "I want them all."

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment, it will be packed soon." The waiter brought oil paper, carefully packed the tea cakes and tied them with hemp rope.

Shen Chuwei couldn't wait to take the tea and cake from the waiter, and Wei Chi paid for it.

Xiao Jinyan looked at Shen Chuwei, who seemed impatient, and said, "Let's go."

"Okay." Shen Chuwei followed Xiao Jinyan slowly, carrying a cup of tea.

After leaving Dayazhai, Xiao Jinyan planned to go back.

Shen Chuwei actually wanted to continue shopping, as she didn't know when she would come out next time.

But Xiao Jinyan had no intention of going shopping, so she had no choice but to follow him back.

Chang'an Avenue is very lively at night, with people coming and going.

Xiao Jinyan's appearance is so outstanding that people turn their heads around 100% wherever she goes.

"Look, that young man is so handsome!"

"Yes, yes. I wonder which family he belongs to and whether he is married?"

Several girls were pushing and shoving each other, wanting to approach and chat with her, but were ashamed because they were girls and felt embarrassed.

Amid the shoving and pushing, a girl was pushed in front of Xiao Jinyan.

The girl blushed and bowed, "Sir, I'm lost, could you show me the way?"

When the girl rushed in front of him, the strong smell of rouge and powder hit Xiao Jinyan in the face, making his nose feel a little uncomfortable, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.

Wei Chi stepped forward to stop the girl in time and said, "Miss, please don't block my master's way. If you have any questions, just ask me."

Wei Chi is tall and strong, and looks handsome, but compared with Xiao Jinyan, he is not even a little bit inferior.

Xiao Jinyan continued to move forward.

Shen Chuwei walked up to him. Whether in modern times or ancient times, handsome men always have a lot of romantic interests and women would take the initiative to strike up conversation with them.

After walking for a while, a fragrance hit Shen Chuwei's nose. He stopped, smelled the aroma and looked over. He saw a wonton stand. He hadn't eaten there for a year, and now it seemed that his craving for food was aroused.

She reached out and grabbed Xiao Jinyan's sleeve, "Master, I want to eat wonton."

Xiao Jinyan turned his head to look at the wonton stand. It was run by an elderly couple and the table was almost full of customers, indicating that business was good.

Now that she's out, satisfy her.

"Go ahead."
