Xiao Jun and Xiao Yuan really wanted to help, but when Yun Yichen saw that Xiao Yi had no objection, he ordered the guards to separate Xiao Yao from the Xiao family and did not give them any chance at all.
"The lanterns in front are really nice. Come on, I'll take you to see them." Mu Fengwu put one hand on Xiao Jun's shoulder and the other on Xiao Qi's shoulder, and dragged the two away.
Kong Xuzhe approached Xiao Lang and Xiao Yi in a flattering manner and just said the word "I think" when he was ruthlessly interrupted by Xiao Yi.
"Young Prince, you can go wherever you want. We have almost finished our tour here. Goodbye!" His sister had no choice but to do so. If she didn't agree to Yun Yichen now, he would not let Ping An return home after the marriage.
My sister's wedding is coming up soon, and I can't afford to offend this brother-in-law. I didn't volunteer to let him take her away, okay? My cousin's situation is quite different. Unlike my sister, she is not likely to cause trouble that my family can't afford to cause, and she won't be married off early. What else does she have to worry about?
Does the young Prince Kong have a title? Do the two families have an agreement? Since there is nothing, why should I worry about it?
Xiao Yao was surrounded by a large group of guards and moved slowly forward along the flow of people. Before she had walked far, Yun Yichen came over and put the hat on her personally.
These people are really something. Instead of watching the lights and enjoying the scenery, they are staring at my little girl. I don’t like those looks and don’t want to see them.
"Why don't you leave?" Yun Yichen asked curiously to Xiao Yao who was standing there motionless.
"I can't see what's ahead, how do I go?" Xiao Yao really wanted to stop there, or go back the same way.
Yun Yichen walked to Xiao Yao and handed her his sleeve. Of course, it would be even better if she was willing to let him hold her hand.
To hold hands or not was indeed a question, and Xiao Yao was caught in hesitation. This little girl and her brother could hold hands without any scruples, but when it was her turn to pull someone's sleeve, she had to think for a long time. The difference was too big!
"If you won't hold my sleeve..."
"Let's not look at the lights anymore and meet at the restaurant, right?" Xiao Yao looked up and asked in a serious and sincere manner.
In the moonlight, Xiao Yao's eyes were brighter than the stars hanging in the sky. Her slightly playful and mischievous look made it impossible to get angry.
Under such moonlight, and with such eye contact, he really wanted to do something. Yun Yichen really wanted to reach out and touch Xiao Yao's face, and then... "Puchi" a guard on the side laughed out loud at an inappropriate time. Miss Xiao was really funny. Look at the prince's face with constantly changing expressions. He has never seen another person who can make him as depressed as he is now.
It seems that his guards have been lax for too long and should be sent to the military camp in batches for training. The one who laughed the happiest just now should be assigned to the kitchen.
Xiao Yao wasn't interested in the affectionate gaze between Yun Yichen and his servant. If she couldn't go back to reunite with her family, she'd better find something to do! Otherwise, being with Yun Yichen would be too boring and awkward, and the time would be too hard to bear.
Anyway, there were a large number of guards from Prince Jing's Mansion, so he didn't have to worry about his safety at all. Xiao Yao lifted his hat a little and looked around.
After Yun Yichen finished intimidating his men, he looked around and found Xiao Yao strolling around leisurely, her hat flipped off as she looked from stall to stall. Why couldn't she just listen for once?
"Hold on to your sleeve, or I'll pull you forward." Yun Yichen pulled Xiao Yao's hat down again. Xiao Yao was afraid that he would really get angry in the street, so she took the initiative to pull on his sleeve and followed him obediently.
Holding the hand of the person he loves, Yun Yichen suddenly felt that it would be nice to just keep walking like this even if he did nothing. "What is this?" Yun Yichen, who was walking in front, asked the guard beside him.
Xiao Yao took the opportunity to take off her hat. In front of her was a stall set up by an old man. There were many small animals woven from hay, including crickets, grasshoppers, puppies... She squatted beside the stall, picked up a cricket with two fingers and looked at it carefully.
The old man who was setting up the stall asked respectfully, "Miss, do you like it? Two copper coins each, take your pick."
Xiao Yao looked at another puppy. Ruyi would definitely like this one. Someone nearby wanted to come over and take a look, but was stopped by Yun Yichen's guards. The old man selling things opened his mouth but didn't dare to greet the customer. It seemed that he had to buy these things, otherwise the old man would probably go home empty-handed today.
She stood up and rummaged through her purse, asking, "Uncle, please count how many there are. I'll buy one."
"Do you want them all?" the old man asked in disbelief. He had dozens of animals of all sizes on his stall, but he had only sold three all night. He didn't expect to meet a big customer at this time.
Xiao Yao took out a handful of copper coins, put them in her hand and prepared to count them. Behind the old man was a boy of seven or eight years old, who timidly looked at Yun Yichen and his group. After Xiao Yao accidentally discovered him, she stopped counting the money and waved to him: "Little brother, come here, sister has some silk candy for you!" After that, she really started to search in her purse.
Counting copper coins on the street and chatting with vendors, who has ever seen such a prince's consort? Yun Yichen had to admit that he had indeed found a unique young wife.
"Sister, you are pretty." After the boy approached Xiao Yao, he was surprised to find that the girl talking to him was prettier than the girls in the neighborhood. He had not learned or heard any other words, so he could only say "pretty".
"Little brother, you're so good. I'll give this to you." Xiao Yao took out some of the change from her purse and wanted to give the purse and its contents to the little boy. The purse was made of fine brocade, with nothing embroidered on it, just a very simple pattern. It was specially prepared for this trip, so even if it was lost, it wouldn't cause any misunderstanding.
Yun Yichen snatched the purse from Xiao Yao's hand. This girl had only given him two purses since their engagement. If it weren't for his repeated hints, he wouldn't have known whether these two existed. She was so generous today, giving this boy something personal the moment they met. Why hadn't she been so generous to him before?
Could this guy be any more domineering? Xiao Yao looked at Yun Yichen angrily. What should he do at this moment? Yun Yichen thought it would be best to put on an unquestionable and imposing appearance. Just as he had adjusted his mindset and was about to proceed as planned, Xiao Yao spoke up: "This isn't embroidered by me. Give it to that little brother! Whatever style you like, I'll embroider one for you tomorrow, isn't that okay?"
How could he say no? He searched carefully again and found that there was nothing in the purse except small change, copper coins, and a few pieces of silk candy wrapped in white cotton cloth. Only then did he mercifully throw the purse to the boy.
"Thank you, young master, and thank you, young lady, for the reward." The old man pulled the boy to kneel down and kowtow to Yun Yichen and Xiao Yao. This money was enough for his family to live a life of food and clothing for a year.
"Thank you, sister, thank you, brother." The boy, still in his trance, followed Xiao Yao's words and called out, frightening the old man, who quickly apologized. It was obvious from their attire that these two were not the sons and daughters of ordinary families, and it was inappropriate for a grandson to address them like that.
Seeing that more and more people were gathering around her, Xiao Yao prepared to pack up and leave quickly.
"If not sister, what should I call her?" the boy asked, scratching his head in confusion.
"Call me sister and brother-in-law." Yun Yichen glanced around. He wanted to let everyone around him know that Xiao Yao was his. It would be useless for others to covet her.
This person is really speechless. Xiao Yao didn't expect that Yun Yichen, who is always aloof, could be so childish. She turned around and glared at Yun Yichen. Xiao Yao touched the boy's head, said goodbye to the grandfather and grandson, and continued walking forward.
The little girl didn't refute him. This meant that she accepted the relationship between the two of them, right? Yun Yichen caught up with Xiao Yao in a few steps and held her hand. After the excitement subsided, he realized that he had gone too far. He wanted to let go but couldn't bear to do so.
Xiao Yao didn't expect Yun Yichen to do something like this. Although he held her hand through her clothes, it was too much to do so in public! He struggled a few times, but Yun Yichen didn't let go. Instead, he held on tighter and tighter.
"You..." Xiao Yao shook her arms awkwardly and embarrassedly. The prince of Jingwang did such a shameful thing, and he was not afraid of meeting acquaintances.
Yun Yichen lowered his sleeves and cape, and attentively helped Xiao Yao smooth out her sleeves. It looked no different than when he'd just pulled them. Very good! Satisfied, he walked in front of Xiao Yao. In terms of strength and speed, Xiao Yao was nothing compared to Yun Yichen. In the end, she simply gave up and let Yun Yichen lead her.
She also maliciously thought that it would be best to let this guy meet his second brother and his family. Would the brothers at home tolerate him bullying them? She would beat him up to vent her anger.
Xiao Yao deliberately ignored the two people's holding hands, and bought some things that her brother, younger brother and nephews might be interested in along the way.
"Ahem" Why didn't I have a share? Yun Yichen kept coughing to remind Xiao Yao not to ignore him, a big living person watching by the side! Xiao Yao didn't know whether she really didn't think of him or was doing it on purpose, anyway, she just refused to pay attention to him.
Even though they were holding hands, she still dared to ignore him. Yun Yichen took the opportunity when Xiao Yao was looking at a peach wood sword on a stall to put his hand into Xiao Yao's sleeve and hold her soft little hand.
Xiao Yao's hands were slender and smooth, with slightly cold fingertips. Suddenly, they were held by a warm big hand. Xiao Yao trembled all over. Who could tell her what this big and greedy guy wanted to do?
Yun Yichen held Xiao Yao's hand obediently. He knew he couldn't do anything more extreme, or Xiao Yao would definitely get angry. The vendor selling peach wood swords was a regular on the road, with a keen eye for reading people's expressions. He could tell at a glance that the couple in front of his stall were lovers, though the girl seemed reluctant and wanted to escape.
"Master and Miss are truly a match made in heaven. I wish you both a long and happy life together."
Well said! Yun Yichen, the guard rewarded the peddler with a ten-liang ingot of silver and took the wooden sword away.
"I have the money to buy it myself."
"I gave all your money to the grandparents."
"That thing just now..."
"I bought all of them for you, but you didn't buy anything for me."
Xiao Yao really wanted to return all those things. She really had no intention of taking advantage of him.
"Stroll around for a while longer. If you want to buy anything, just tell me. My money is yours, spend it as you please."
Xiao Yao turned around and walked back without saying a word. Who would care about his "casual spending"? If he got angry and refused to leave, she could take the opportunity to get rid of him.
