Chapter 276 You Are Different From Others
During the Dasheng Dynasty, people were open-minded and women could go out to play on the streets openly. Some women even did small business to support their families, and everyone was used to it.
Xiao Xixi followed the prince walking on the street. Because of their outstanding appearance, they attracted the attention of many passers-by.
The young eunuchs and the Yulin Guards followed behind them not too far away, carefully protecting their safety.
This ancient night market was far less colorful than that in modern society, but it was also interesting in its own way.
It was Xiao Xixi’s first time to come to such a place, and everything she saw seemed new to her.
The street is bustling with people and there are shops on both sides.
There was a juggling troupe performing, and there were many people standing around watching the show. From time to time, bursts of applause broke out from the crowd.
Xiao Xixi squeezed into the crowd, took a look, followed by a "good" and then slipped out again.
She prefers eating delicious food to watching performances.
There are many food stalls on the street, and the air is filled with the aroma of food.
Luo Qinghan was not used to such a lively place. He had a blank expression on his face the whole time, with the four big words "Don't get close to me" written on his handsome face.
As he was walking, he suddenly realized that the woman beside him was gone.
He immediately stopped and looked back, and saw Xiao Xixi standing in front of an uncle selling candied haws.
She looked up at the candied haws on the sticks and her mouth was watering with greed.
Luo Qinghan walked over and tried to pull her away.
Xiao Xixi refused to move.
She begged eagerly, "I want to eat candied haws, can you buy them for me?"
She didn't bring any money with her this time, so if she wanted to buy something she had to ask the prince to pay.
Luo Qinghan said coldly: "The food outside is not clean. Eating it will give you diarrhea."
Xiao Xixi refused and started to act like a spoiled brat.
"But I just want to eat it. I'm strong, so even if it's dirty, it's fine for me to eat it."
Luo Qinghan refused to indulge her and said in a deep voice: "You must be obedient and don't be willful, otherwise I won't take you out to play next time."
Tears gradually accumulated in Xiao Xixi's eyes: "You are so heartless. You even refused to buy me a candied haws."
The uncle selling candied haws chimed in, "My dear, your sister is about to cry, why don't you buy her a candied haws to try."
Luo Qinghan glanced at him with a chilly look: "She is not my sister."
Xiao Xixi then said, "I am his wife, and he is my husband."
The uncle was very surprised. Seeing that the two people were handsome, he thought they were siblings. Unexpectedly, they were actually a young couple. It was rare to see such good-looking young couples.
The uncle added, "Then why don't you buy your wife a candied haws? Just think of it as a way to coax her. Your wife is so pretty, it won't be a loss if you coax her."
Luo Qinghan didn't say anything.
Seeing that he was so heartless, Xiao Xixi burst into tears.
"Wow, you are such a bad husband. I married you and I take care of you and provide you with food and clothes, but you won't even buy me a candied haws. I can't live like this anymore!"
Her crying immediately attracted the attention of passers-by.
A crowd of onlookers quickly gathered around.
They pointed at Luo Qinghan, shook their heads, and looked at him with reproachful eyes.
"My dear, you can't do this. Since you married her, you have to treat her well. She's been so good to you, so what's wrong with you buying her some candied haws to appease her?"
"That's right, a candied haws doesn't cost that much, is there any need to be so stingy?!"
"Look at how miserable this little girl is crying. It's really heartbreaking to watch."
…
As the crown prince of the Great Sheng Dynasty, Luo Qinghan never thought that there would be a day when he would be criticized by thousands of people, just because he did not buy candied haws for his wife.
Who would believe this?!
He said with a wooden face: "Don't cry, can't I buy it for you?"
Xiao Xixi immediately stopped crying, raised her little face, and looked at the bright red candied haws, her big eyes blinking.
The uncle said attentively, "Which one do you like, young lady? I'll get it for you."
Xiao Xixi looked at them and thought every skewer was delicious.
She really couldn't choose, so she just shouted.
"I want all these candied haws!"
The uncle thought she was joking and said with a smile, "You can't finish all these candied haws by yourself."
"Even if I can't finish it today, I can save it for tomorrow."
It's a rare opportunity to leave the palace, so of course I have to buy some food to take back and enjoy slowly.
Xiao Xixi turned her head to look at Luo Qinghan and said excitedly.
"Sir, give me the money quickly."
Luo Qinghan took out money expressionlessly and bought all the candied haws in the uncle's hand.
All of a sudden, the looks from the onlookers towards him changed from blame to sympathy.
Some people shook their heads and sighed.
"This young man is so miserable for raising such a loser woman!"
Luo Qinghan thought, that’s not what you said just now.
After the uncle received the money, he was still a little dazed. He really didn't expect that someone would buy all the candied haws in one go just to make his wife happy.
He looked at the young lady in front of him with sparkling eyes and gave sincere advice.
"You must be nice to your husband and don't let him run away."
It's hard to find a sucker like this who is both handsome and rich. If you let him run away, you'll lose a lot.
Xiao Xixi nodded vigorously: "I will definitely treat him very well!"
The uncle gave all the candied haws and the grass sticks to Xiao Xixi.
Xiao Xixi pulled a candied haws from the stick and licked the red sugar coating on the hawthorn. It was so sweet that she squinted her eyes.
Wow, it’s delicious!
The woman's lips looked particularly rosy and delicious because of the syrup.
Luo Qinghan looked at her with unclear eyes.
Xiao Xixi noticed his gaze and took the initiative to hand over the grass stick in her hand, saying generously.
"Husband, have one too, it's delicious!"
Luo Qinghan moved his eyes away from her rosy lips and said lightly: "I don't like eating outside food."
Xiao Xixi looked at him in surprise: "When we went south, you ate a lot of food outside."
"The situation was special at that time, and I had no choice but to do it."
Seeing that he really didn't want to eat it, Xiao Xixi took the grass stick back.
She was secretly happy in her heart. It was better if he didn't eat, so that she could eat alone.
She walked down the street with a straw stick in one hand and a candied haws in the other.
Luo Qinghan said coldly: "Why do you insist on carrying this straw stick? Can't you just give it to the guards?"
Xiao Xixi immediately put on a protective attitude: "These candied haws are all mine, no one else is allowed to touch them."
"Since no one else can touch it, why did you share the candied haws with me just now?"
Xiao Xixi said as a matter of course: "You are different from others."
