Zhao Ji pondered for a moment, looked at the innocent girl in front of him and said, "You really need a name in the outside world. How about this, why don't you call yourself Mingyue in the outside world?"

The girl tilted her head and called out Mingyue in a strange voice.

Then a bright smile broke out.

"I love this name, thank you!"

"I want to see the outside world, because my Eminem came from the outside world!"

The girl's clear voice rang out, and Zhao Ji's eyes darkened.

For a moment, Zhao Ji was not sure whether it was really a good idea to bring such a girl out.

The next day, Zhao Ji brought a set of palace maid's clothes, but Mingyue had already said goodbye to the aunts in the cold palace.

He also gave all the beautiful flowers and edibles in his yard to the aunts who had taken care of him when he was growing up.

Zhao Ji saw this scene and said after a moment of silence: "Don't worry, the people here will at least get some basic protection after you leave!"

Mingyue didn't know what guarantee Zhao Ji was talking about, but she smiled sweetly: "Thank you, I always knew you were a good person!"

Zhao Ji blushed for some reason when he heard this, coughed twice and said with a smile: "Can we go now?"

Mingyue took one last reluctant look at this place, then turned around and followed Zhao Ji.

At this moment, the girl's determined back seemed to overlap with the determined back of her mother when she left southern Xinjiang.

Zhao Ji took the girl through the alleys of the palace and led her to the palace gate.

At the palace gate, Zhao Ji showed his badge.

Yesterday, the emperor was still seriously ill and in a deep sleep. Zhao Ji's power in the entire harem had reached its peak.

Not to mention taking a little palace maid out of the palace, Zhao Ji could do anything even more outrageous.

After walking out of the palace for about an incense stick's time, you will reach the bustling city.

Mingyue had never seen so many people before. Some of them were young, some were old. They were wearing ordinary cloth clothes, but they had happy smiles on their faces.

This was the first time she saw so many novel things, including sugar figures, hot buns, and the wonton noodle stall on the street. Mingyue stared at every single thing.

Zhao Ji looked at what Mingyue was interested in and took her to taste them, although it was only a short distance of a hundred meters.

Mingyue and Zhao Ji couldn’t carry the things they bought.

Until this moment, the girl belatedly blushed: "Did I buy too many things... They seem to be trading with something called silver. Is this the money that the aunts are talking about? I don't have any money now, how can I give you these things..."

There is the purest confusion on the girl's face.

Zhao Ji smiled and said, "It's okay. Since I was responsible for bringing you out, I don't necessarily have to be responsible for you to the end. You don't have to worry about those things. I'll take care of everything!"

Mingyue didn't know why, but when she heard Zhao Ji's words, she always felt hot on her face and in her heart.

Then she nodded: "Thank you!"

After playing around outside, Zhao Ji brought the person back to his house.

However, as soon as he entered the door, Zhao Ji secretly said "Oh no!"

Because Zhao Ji always worked in the palace overnight, he didn't actually go back home very often.

So much so that Zhao Ji even forgot that there was a big trouble hidden in his house.

"Who is this, sir?"

A charming voice was heard, and a woman in a brocade dress came out.

If the queens and concubines in the palace saw her, they would naturally recognize that this charming woman was the former Princess Hu Rou.

Zhao Ji took the woman out of the palace, saved her life, and even took her to his own house to raise her.

Because Zhao Ji had not returned to the mansion for a long time, and the housekeeper had been treating Hu Rou to delicious food and drinks, Hu Rou was in better health than when she was in the palace.

The whole person exudes feminine charm from the inside out.

It was the first time Mingyue saw such a young and beautiful woman. A bright smile appeared on her face. She stepped forward and held Hu Rou's hand: "Sister, you are so beautiful. I have never seen such a beautiful woman!"

When Hu Rou saw Zhao Ji bringing someone back, a young and beautiful woman, she was a little jealous at first, but she never expected that this young woman would come up to her and praise her beauty.

Moreover, Hu Rou was not a woman who had never seen the world. She could tell at a glance that the girl really thought she was pretty and was sincerely praising herself!

Precisely because everyone could see it, Hu Rou blushed and could no longer show the jealous attitude she had just shown.

Zhao Ji looked at the scene in front of him with a smile. He never expected that this little girl could handle such a difficult woman like Hu Rou.

Maybe this is sincerity.

Zhao Ji introduced the two people to each other with a smile.

The moment they left the palace, Zhao Ji told Mingyue that even if they were close and familiar people, she must not tell them where she came from.

She only said that she was Zhao Ji's cousin and came from the Jiangnan area to join her cousin.

The same rhetoric was used towards Hu Rou.

Hu Rou looked her up and down, and said to Mingyue, who was obviously smaller than her, "So you are from the south. No wonder you are so delicate and petite, and you speak so softly, unlike people like us from the north who are so rough!"

Mingyue blushed at the compliment, and then she took Hu Rou's hand and said with a smile: "If my sister is a rough person, then she is indeed being modest. Who wouldn't feel like they have seen a fairy when seeing a beautiful person like my sister?"

The more Hu Rou looked at the little girl in front of her, the more she liked her.

The initial hostility is long gone.

When Zhao Ji saw this scene, he shook his head helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, stop praising each other. I'm having dinner at home today, and I still have to go back to the palace after dinner. Let the housekeeper prepare the meal first!"

At the dinner table, Mingyue looked at this dish and then that dish. How could she, a girl who had lived on her own in the cold palace since childhood, have ever eaten these exquisite dishes?

She had never even eaten fish or shrimp, and her timid appearance made Hu Rou want to protect her.

The dignified princess of the grassland actually peeled shrimps and picked fish for Mingyue herself.

Seeing the harmony at the table, Zhao Ji suddenly had the absurd feeling that he was just an ordinary master among the people, with his wives and concubines living in harmony at home.

Zhao Ji smiled and shook his head, shaking off the illusion in his mind.

Now the emperor is still unconscious in the harem, and there are countless eyes staring at him outside the palace.

The situation is so serious that Zhao Ji's life may be in danger at any time. How can he live a peaceful and stable life like ordinary people in the folks?

Thinking of this, Zhao Ji sighed.
