There were many people coming to release lanterns. Xu Qingqing and Jun Wuxian lined up together, and it was soon their turn.

After the two lanterns were lit, Jun Wuxian generously gave out small change.

When the lamplighter saw the small change, he smiled widely and kept saying nice things.

"The young man is handsome and charming, and the young lady is beautiful as a flower. A talented man and a beautiful woman, many children and great happiness."

As expected, everyone likes to hear nice words. Xu Qingqing was very happy after hearing them. However, when she thought of her disfigured face, her smile gradually disappeared.

Arriving at the river, Xu Qingqing bent down and carefully placed the lantern in her hand into the river. Then she gently stirred the water with her hands to let the lantern follow the river.

She is actually very greedy and wants everything.

I want my family to be healthy and live a long life.

I want Jun Wuxian to wake up early and find his sister without having to run around.

I want to restore my former appearance.

want to……

Jun Wuxian squatted beside Xu Qingqing, put the lantern in his hand into the river, and watched the lantern slowly catch up with Xu Qingqing's lantern.

He looked at Xu Qingqing. She was wearing a veil and the light was dim, so he couldn't see her expression.

"I heard from your brother that you ate strawberries in the palace. Is that true?"

Hearing this, Xu Qingqing raised her head and looked at Jun Wuxian, smiling and nodding, "Of course it's true. The strawberries grown by the Crown Princess are especially delicious. We can eat a lot every year."

Speaking of this, she began to think about the Crown Princess and the babies again. The Crown Princess went out to look for the Crown Prince and has not returned yet.

Jun Wuxian pressed on: "You said the strawberries were grown by Shen Chuwei?"

"Well, there is no such fruit in Daxia, nor in the imperial palace. Only the Crown Princess's Xiyun Pavilion grows strawberries."

After Xu Qingqing finished speaking, she asked in confusion: "Why are you asking this?"

"Not only Daxia has no strawberries, but several surrounding countries also have no strawberries. But Xiaojiu knows." Jun Wuxian shook his folding fan and thought of Shen Chuwei. He suddenly felt that there were too many coincidences. But if Shen Chuwei was Xiaojiu, how could she be a member of the Shen family?

"Do you suspect that the Crown Princess might be your sister? I don't think so. She was brought back from the countryside by the Shen family. But the Crown Princess is amazing. Many of the foods she eats are things I have never seen before. She also showed me a book of words, in which I can learn a lot of new knowledge."

Speaking of storybooks, Xu Qingqing felt it was a pity that after leaving the palace, she didn't even have picture books to read.

Jun Wuxian said: "I did suspect it, but I have no evidence to prove that she is Xiaojiu."

Xu Qingqing comforted her, "Don't worry, we will definitely find it."

Jun Wuxian chuckled, "Let's go. It's a rare opportunity to come to Daxia and catch the Qiqiao Festival. Let's go somewhere else."

Xu Qingqing responded readily: "Okay."

Not far behind them, Caixia was so excited, "The young lady has been depressed for a while, now that Master Jun is here, the young lady is finally alive."

Chu Zhao sighed, "Does your young lady like my master?"

Caixia turned her head and looked at Chu Zhao, "What's wrong? Can't I like it?"

Chu Zhao asked in confusion: "Then why didn't Miss Xu react at all when my master said he wanted to marry her?"

Caixia said, "Didn't you see my young lady smile? That's called no reaction?"

Chu Zhao : "..." Does that smile count?

Susu has been wanting to find her mother these days, and the emperor feels sorry for her. He thinks that today is the Qiqiao Festival and the streets of the capital must be bustling with activity.

When he was still the crown prince, he took the queen out to play. After so many years, he has never taken the queen out for a walk.

So tonight, the emperor had Susu and Taotao brought to Fengyi Palace.

The emperor originally only wanted to bring Susu with him, but it was when Eunuch Li reminded him of the Crown Prince that he remembered to bring him along.

"Queen, change your clothes and let's go out for a walk."

When the queen heard this, she looked at the dog emperor taking off his clothes and changing into casual clothes, still unable to believe it.

"Your Majesty is free today, are you willing to take me out of the palace for a walk?"

"Today is the Qiqiao Festival. I have been busy with government affairs over the years and have never taken you out to play. Let's go out for a walk today since it's not too busy."

The emperor urged, "Queen, please change your clothes quickly. Susu and Taotao will be here soon."

Seeing that the dog emperor was serious, the queen started changing her clothes without hesitation.

Who wouldn't feel bored if they stayed in the palace for too long? It was a great pleasure to go out for a walk during the Qiqiao Festival.

"Are you planning to take Taotao and Susu with you?"

The emperor was tying his belt and took the time to reply, "Well, Susu has been saying she misses her mom recently. Take her out to play, and maybe she will forget about missing her mom."

"I haven't seen my mother for almost two months, so of course I miss her." With Qingying's help, the queen put on her casual clothes.

At this time, Taotao and Susu had been picked up by Eunuch Li.

"Grandpa Huang, Grandma."

This was the first sentence the two little guys said when they came in.

The emperor bent down and picked up Susu, then turned to the queen and said, "You hold Taotao, Taotao is lighter than Susu."

The queen said coquettishly, "If you like to hug Susu, just say it directly, why are you making excuses?"

As he said this, he picked up Taotao and followed the emperor out.

The emperor smiled but said nothing.

Because he was leaving the palace incognito, he didn't bring many people with him, and the carriage he rode in was relatively ordinary.

While riding in the carriage, Susu and Taotao were so excited that they were leaning on the windows and staring outside.

When the emperor and the empress saw each other, they smiled.

"It seems that we should take them out to play more often in the future. They look like country bumpkins coming to the city, and everything they see is new to them."

"Ling'er is right. It's good to see more of the world."

When they arrived at the bustling long street, Susu and Taotao ran around excitedly.

The emperor and the empress followed closely behind, fearing that the two little ones would get lost.

Susu's two legs ran very fast, and it felt like a divine beast out of a cage. He was overwhelmed by the fun and delicious food.

She pointed at the little bunny dough figurine and the baked cake, and called out in a baby voice, "Grandpa, Grandpa, I want this and this."

When they were in the carriage, the emperor told the brother and sister to call him grandpa when they were outside, instead of calling him emperor grandpa.

The emperor didn't care what his precious granddaughter wanted to buy. He agreed to buy whatever she wanted. "Okay, buy them all."

The guard then paid the money and carried the things.

Susu happily ran to the queen with the dough figurine made of a rabbit, and raised the dough figurine in her hand, "Grandma, it's a little rabbit."

The queen bent over, looked at the dough figurine in Susu's hand, and praised with a smile: "What a cute rabbit, as cute as Susu."

Susu smiled with her eyebrows curved, "Grandma loves it too."

The queen laughed out loud when she heard this, "Susu is so sweet."

Susu came to Taotao with another dough figurine and handed it to him, "Guoguo, this is for you."

Taotao looked at the dough figurine in his sister's hand. It was a tiger. He happily took it and looked at it carefully. "It looks like Dabai."

Susu raised her chin and said, "Dabai is more adorable than it."

Tao Tao agreed with her sister's words and said, "Yes, Dabai Kuoai."

Susu happily ran away with the dough figurine in her hand. She saw the food stall and some unfamiliar delicacies. Out of curiosity, she grabbed the emperor's sleeve and said, "Grandpa, I want this."

"Buy it." The emperor picked up one and handed it to Susu, saying with a smile, "Baby, eat it."

"Thank you, Grandpa." Susu took the bamboo stick, put it in her mouth and took a bite. She found it delicious. She raised her head and looked at Grandpa Huang, "Grandpa, I want more. I want five."

The emperor looked up and ordered, "Buy ten."

The guard took ten, pulled out his purse, and paid for it.

While Susu was eating, the emperor looked up at the queen and asked, "Ling'er, is there anything you want to buy?"

The queen glanced at the items on the stall, smiled and shook her head, "I'm already a grandmother, these are not suitable for me, I'm very happy to be able to come out and shop during this festival."

These were the truest words in the queen's heart. After entering the palace, what she thought about every day was when the prince would be free to take her out of the palace to play, and when the emperor would be able to spare the time to accompany her out of the palace for a stroll.

During this period, the Dog Emperor was indeed different from before. He never visited anyone and would come to Fengyi Palace whenever he was not busy.

Although she was somewhat repulsive at first, she changed her mind and decided that if the Dog Emperor could maintain his status, she would let bygones be bygones.

They have entered middle age and become grandparents. They don’t know how long they can live, so they should cherish every day.

The dog emperor said: If you don't let me eat enough, isn't that the same as pushing me to other women? She thought about it and actually felt that it made sense.

So during this period of time, she felt like she had returned to her youth, when they were still the crown prince and crown princess.

The emperor noticed that the queen had been staring at him. He reached out and held her hand, and asked in a gentle voice, "Ling'er, what are you thinking about?"

The queen smiled and shook her head. "I'm not thinking about anything. I haven't been out for a long time. I'm a little happy."

The emperor also knew that he was busy with government affairs and paid too little attention to her. He felt a little guilty: "In the future, I will take you out more often."

The Queen nodded, "Okay."

Xu Qingqing and Jun Wuxian strolled along the way and ate street snacks, which they found quite interesting.

Suddenly, a little child rushed over and went directly into Jun Wuxian's arms.

Fortunately, Jun Wuxian reacted quickly and held the child who bumped into him in time to prevent her from falling.

Susu forgot to look at the road while eating, ran too fast, and ended up bumping into someone.

She hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. I'm giving you some candy, please don't be angry, okay?"

When Jun Wuxian saw the appearance of the child, he was stunned. The girl had a chubby face the size of a palm, and her bright eyes flickered as if they could speak.

The little girl had two small braids on her head, a butterfly and pearl flowers pinned in front of her head, and she was wearing a pink dress. She looked as cute as a porcelain doll.

What surprised him was not how pretty the little girl was, but that she looked exactly like Xiaojiu when she was a child.

Xu Qingqing hadn't seen Susu for two months, but she recognized her at the first sight.

"Hey, isn't this Susu? Why are you here?"

Jun Wuxian raised his head and looked at Xu Qingqing, "Do you know her?"

"Of course." Xu Qingqing leaned close to his ear and whispered, "She is the Crown Princess's daughter, her name is Susu."

Good night, babies!
