Chapter 265 Pastoral
Xuanyuan Ling took Chen Qing out of the palace, but they did not go through the main gate, naturally intending to conceal their whereabouts. The guards followed in secret. The two of them went out and got on the carriage. Xuanyuan Ling pulled Chen Qing to sit down and went to see her.
Shen Qing saw Xuanyuan Ling looking over, so she went to see him: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
At this moment, she no longer addressed him as the emperor. After all, when she was out, it was allowed to break the rules.
Xuanyuan Ling shook his head: "Is there any place you want to go?"
Shen Qing said: "I'm not familiar with it."
Xuanyuan Ling smiled and said, "Shouldn't I take you to eat something delicious first? And then go see something interesting?"
He talked as if they were on a date.
Shen Qing looked at him, as if he really meant it, but he didn't make the decision himself.
Xuanyuan Ling, you say he is a male chauvinist, he is actually okay, considering his status, it is commendable that he is not a male chauvinist. But he is the emperor after all, and usually he makes his own decisions when he is with her. The few times he asks for her opinion are in bed. Now he is outside after all, so how can he let her decide his schedule?
Shen Qing said: "I said"
"kindness."
Then Shen Qing would not refuse. People had already started the day, just like receiving a gift. When he had the intention, he could not be discouraged. If the first time was not successful, could he expect there to be a next time?
"Then take a look at what snacks are available here while you walk, and look at the jewelry and clothes, etc., this can also be considered as understanding the people's livelihood?"
Xuanyuan Ling was so shocked that she said, "Just have fun." She was still worried about him now? She really cared about him.
Isn’t she just like a caring wife?
Thinking about the sweet call of "husband" she had just given him, and then thinking about the queen, she really didn't seem like his wife.
Xuanyuan Ling suddenly thought of the Queen and was in a bad mood. The Queen had too many things on her mind, for the sake of her children and her mother's family. She was like a subject in the past, but now she was like a disgusting subject. Fortunately, Shen Qing was in front of him, which made him feel much more comfortable.
Of course, this comfort didn't last long.
Since the two of them got off the carriage and met someone, Xuanyuan Ling had seen someone staring at Chen Qing more than once.
Chen Qing was good-looking, Xuanyuan Ling had never seen anyone better than her. Now she stood out in the crowd, but he didn't notice that many girls were looking at him.
There is an old saying that a beautiful woman is hidden in a golden house. For a moment, he had a feeling like that. Such a beautiful woman must be hidden, right?
But seeing Shen Qing looking around with a hint of curiosity, he suppressed the thought.
It's not like she was going to look at other people. There were so many people here, and to the common people they were just an ordinary couple, so naturally they were worth looking at.
Xuanyuan Ling thought about it, reached out and took Shen Qing's little hand, and pulled her over as well.
Shen Qing didn't expect that he could do this in such a public place, but when she turned around and saw someone looking over, she almost laughed.
Well, this is, jealousy?
Xuanyuan Ling saw that she was still looking at others. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Shen Qing hum and pull him closer: "My husband really told me that it's easy to attract bees and butterflies when you go out. Several girls looked at me just now."
Xuanyuan Ling: “…”
He disliked someone looking at her, and she said it first.
However, Shen Qing's words made him feel a little subtle for a moment.
It turns out that the two of them had the same thoughts.
He curled his lips and said, "Be good, your husband didn't look at them. Stay closer. When they see your beauty, they will feel ashamed and won't look at you anymore."
Who doesn’t love to be praised for one’s beauty?
"My husband has such a sweet mouth."
She smiled, and the two of them walked hand in hand. The surroundings were very lively. She looked around and was craving for some delicious food. She saw a kind of pastry that she couldn't name but she could smell its fragrance when she got closer.
The vendor was stunned when he saw Shen Qing. The young lady was really good-looking. Then he looked at Xuanyuan Ling and couldn't help but say something auspicious: "You two are really a perfect couple."
They are so good-looking that they are called a fairy couple whenever they go out.
Shen Qing laughed.
Xuanyuan Ling said: "Thank you for the compliment. I'll give you two of these."
"Okay." The vendor packed two pieces neatly and then Shen Qing took them. Naturally, someone paid later.
The pastries were steaming hot from the oven. Shen Qing gave one to Xuanyuan Ling. Zhao Hai, who was accompanying him, quickly pricked it with a silver needle, and then the two of them started eating.
It's not that Xuanyuan Ling hasn't eaten outside food. When he was a prince, he often walked outside. However, this was the first time for him to eat while walking. He didn't reject it. After all, this was not the palace, and he and Shen Qing were already husband and wife. How many rules could there be?
So I ate along with them.
Afterwards, Shen Qing went shopping in other places. She used to like shopping when she went shopping. Now that she rarely goes out, why not buy something?
So she looked at clothes, jewelry, rouge and powder, and appreciated the ancient commercial street. Xuanyuan Ling naturally did not mind her shopping. He knew that Chen Qing was not short-sighted, but she had been in the palace for too long, and occasionally came out, so naturally he made her happy to buy things.
Chen Qing only thought that Xuanyuan Ling was weak, and that men couldn't even compare to women's physical strength when shopping, so she followed them shopping. Seeing that she was in such a good mood, Xuanyuan Ling let her do what she wanted.
When Shen Qing was about to take a break after strolling for a while, Xuanyuan Ling asked her, "Don't you want to play anymore?"
Shen Qing said: “Almost.”
"Well, accompany me to a place." Xuanyuan Ling asked someone to drive the carriage over.
Chen Qing knew that Xuanyuan Ling's secret visit was not just to accompany her for fun. In Xuanyuan Ling's eyes, this was probably a way to see what the people were like. However, he would not play forever. So, he went to take a look at the farmland in the suburbs.
And it was arranged in advance. There was a farm over there that had been cleaned up. Chen Qing went there and asked someone to serve tea. However, the environment here was good, and Chen Qing was in the mood and didn't feel tired. After taking a break, he went out again and saw Xuanyuan Ling talking to the farmers.
From her angle, Xuanyuan Ling seemed quite friendly.
She had been with him for more than three years, but she had never seen him get along with ordinary people. It was not surprising. Although he was a child of destiny, he was not born an emperor. Being an emperor did not mean that he was ignorant of the five grains and the sufferings of the people.
He was not a founding monarch, and his ancestors left a mess behind, but he was also diligent. In that ancient time, the people had basic guarantees of having enough food and clothing. Just looking at how happy he was when he received good news from all over the country, you can tell that he attached great importance to this.
Chen Qing smiled as she watched, but did not go over. Instead, she walked to the side. At this moment, there were people doing farm work in the fields, and there were also children playing around. Chen Qing was good-looking, and her clothes were different from those of the village women, which attracted the attention of the children. A group of children circled around her.
She found it interesting and laughed, and said to the waiter beside her: "Take out the cakes I just bought and share them with them."
The children were not stupid. When they heard there were cakes and pastries, they all looked at her. Shen Qing asked them to watch her, and they felt bad if she didn't distribute the cakes herself, so they took the cakes and distributed them herself. The group of children were having a great time eating.
