Upon hearing Qi Yehan's words, Jiang Jingyue smiled and nodded at him.
"You two are so loving. Your sugar figurines are ready. Please take a look and see if you like them."
When Jiang Jingyue looked at the sugar figurine, her eyes widened in disbelief.
Because the sugar figurine drawn by the old man perfectly captured the scene of her standing in front of Qi Yehan just now; it was incredibly lifelike.
Who wouldn't like it? Jiang Jingyue took the sugar figurine from the old man's hand and nodded with a smile.
"I love it, I love it so much! You're amazing, sir! Su Lin, hurry up and give me the money."
Su Lin nodded and immediately took out some silver from his pocket. He gave the old man five taels of silver at once, and the old man's hands were trembling when he took it.
He had never received such a large sum of money at once before.
When the master received the silver, he examined it carefully and then returned it to Jiang Jingyue.
"Young lady, I, your sir, cannot make change. If you don't have any change, consider this sugar figurine a treat from your sir, it's our destiny."
Since the old man had said that, there was even less chance that Jiang Jingyue and the others wouldn't pay.
Jiang Jingyue handed the silver in her hand back to the old man, then looked at him earnestly and said...
“Since you’ve said that we are destined to meet, then let’s consider this money as our destiny. There’s no need to look for us anymore. We cherish our connection.”
Before the old man could say anything more, Jiang Jingyue had already pulled Qi Yehan into the crowd.
Even if the old man wanted to look for it, he couldn't find it. Looking at the five taels of silver in front of him, the old man couldn't help but sigh, "Heaven has eyes!"
His son had been sick for a long time, but they had no money to treat him. Now that they had such a large sum of money, his son could finally be saved.
The old man, holding the silver coins, shakily began preparing to pack up his stall.
People around him looked at him with envy, and some felt a pang of jealousy and couldn't help but speak up.
"I wonder where those people got their money from. They were so generous with their money. I hope nothing goes wrong."
"What do you mean by that? Aren't you just jealous because you don't have what others do? You have no ability, yet you want to get something for nothing. It's shameless. Uncle Fu, don't mind him. Those two people were dressed in fine clothes. They must be high-ranking officials. This amount of money is nothing to them. You don't need to worry."
Hearing him say that, the old man selling sugar paintings was relieved. He had to pack up his stall quickly and go home to take his child to see a doctor.
After he packed up his stall, he immediately knelt down in the direction Jiang Jingyue and the others had left and kowtowed three times.
"Thank you for your help."
Jiang Jingyue and the others were unaware of these things. At this moment, she was still arguing with Qi Yehan, and she had her eye on something at a roadside stall that she wanted to eat.
But Qi Yehan absolutely refused, because he felt that nothing outside was safe.
He only showed Jiang Jingyue the sugar painting; he wouldn't let her eat it.
Jiang Jingyue got angry at him for looking like that, turned around, and didn't want to talk to him.
Qi Yehan looked at Jiang Jingyue, who was throwing a tantrum, and was at a loss for what to do. He could only look to Su Lin for help.
Su Lin subconsciously turned his head away. There was nothing he could do; even the Emperor looking at him wouldn't help. He didn't know what to do.
In the end, Qi Yehan had no choice but to compromise.
"Yueyue, I'll buy it for you, but you can't eat too much. I'll eat a little first, and you can eat after I'm sure everything is alright."
After buying the items, Qi Yehan was about to try them when Su Lin stopped him.
"Master, this is something I can handle myself. How could I trouble you?"
After saying this, Su Lin took the food and tasted it. After confirming that there were no problems, he nodded to Qi Yehan.
Jiang Jingyue, who was standing next to her, was already getting impatient.
What she's thinking right now is that next time she leaves the palace, she definitely won't let Qi Qi Yehan come with her. She wants to leave the palace on her own and eat her fill. She just doesn't know if she'll ever have that chance.
After finishing her meal, Jiang Jingyue was finally satisfied.
"Yueyue, can we go back to the palace now?"
When Qi Yehan saw Jiang Jingyue nod, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She had been worried that Jiang Jingyue would tell her that she wanted to continue playing.
As soon as they returned to the palace, they saw that the Empress Dowager was waiting for them.
The Empress Dowager smiled the moment she saw Qi Yehan bring Jiang Jingyue back.
She immediately went to Jiang Jingyue's side, took Jiang Jingyue's hand, and asked softly.
"Xiaoyue, how was it? Did you have fun at home? How are your parents? Is the baby in your belly bothering you?"
The Empress Dowager asked a series of questions, leaving her unsure which one to answer first.
So Jiang Jingyue was a little confused at this moment, and she looked at the Empress Dowager with a blank expression.
Qi Yehan immediately grabbed Jiang Jingyue and looked at the Empress Dowager with some helplessness.
"Mother, you've asked so many questions all at once, Yueyue doesn't know how to answer them."
"I know you care about her. We just returned from outside the palace. Yueyue is a little tired right now. Let her rest first. You can ask her anything after she's rested."
The Empress Dowager glanced at Jiang Jingyue and indeed saw the weariness in the corners of her eyes. The Empress Dowager immediately nodded.
"I understand. Xiaoyue, you must be tired, so go and rest! By the way, would you like something to eat? Are you hungry?"
Upon hearing the Empress Dowager's words, Jiang Jingyue subconsciously touched her uncomfortable, bloated stomach and shook her head.
"Mother, no need, I've already eaten a lot, I can't eat anymore."
When the Empress Dowager heard Jiang Jingyue say this, she didn't say anything more, but urged her to go and rest quickly.
With Jiang Jingyue by his side tonight, Qi Yehan was finally able to get a good night's sleep.
Looking at the little woman who kept snuggling into his arms as she fell asleep, Qi Yehan felt utterly helpless.
If it weren't for the fact that the woman was pregnant, Qi Yehan felt he definitely wouldn't have let her off so easily.
There's nothing he can do now; he just hopes these three months will definitely pass.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Jiang Jingyue's baby is already three months old.
Qi Yehan counted down the days, and when the day finally arrived, he was incredibly excited.
He first went to see the imperial physician, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he couldn't wait to return to his palace.
Jiang Jingyue could tell that Qi Yehan was really excited today, and she was a little confused about why.
