"Somebody come!"
Zhu Houzhao thought for a long time in front of the window, and finally made up his mind with a slap on the table.
Liu Jin injured his butt and went back to recuperate. Recently, Zhang Yong has been waiting for him.
Zhang Yong has a plain face, broad shoulders and long legs. He is good at boxing and kicking, but unfortunately he was stabbed.
"Your Highness!"
Zhu Houzhao hooked his hand, called the person in front of him, then leaned his head forward and whispered: "Can you think of a way to take me out of the palace for a walk?"
"Ah?" Zhang Yong's eyes widened and he shook his head like a rattle, "How can your highness, a rich man, be easily involved in danger? I don't have a good grasp of the situation outside the palace. If something goes wrong, I will be ten The head is not enough to chop off.”
Especially thinking that the last time Qiuyun just touched the crown prince,
What about the queen?
If it hadn't been for His Royal Highness's kindness, my life would have been lost.
He dared to take the prince out of the palace today. Once he was discovered, it would be an earth-shattering event.
But Zhu Houzhao had been thinking about it for a long time.
Although he doesn't have a noisy personality, he is really tired of being locked up in the Forbidden City every day.
If it weren't for the fact that he had caught up with several epidemics, had been in close contact several times, and had some experience of being isolated alone, he would have been even more unbearable.
As for the consequences,
It will probably cause some criticism. The emperor and queen will not do anything to him. Should he be scrapped and practice a new account?
Besides, it might not be discovered yet.
What if God is unaware of it?
So Zhu Houzhao had made up his mind and said in a rogue manner: "Don't shake your head. You just shook your head today. I have to leave the palace when I should. If you are afraid, I will not force you to stay in the palace." Come inside."
These words made Zhang Yong's face collapse and he was about to cry.
Of course he didn't dare to let His Highness run out alone.
"Your Highness," Zhang Yong said anxiously, "please spare us servants. If you think about your Majesty's side, let alone bumping into her, even if someone makes rude remarks when you go out, you will be killed."
"Stop talking about it, do you want to do it or not?!" Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said that he was talking about the rich man's story, and he didn't want to hear it anymore.
Zhang Yong’s head was spinning rapidly.
"Then... is there any way? The key is that your highness has a figure and you don't have such big clothes in the palace?"
You can't go out wearing princely clothes.
"Go find one among the people. Go quickly!"
Zhu Houzhao almost urged him to do it quickly.
An hour later.
The prince hid in the room and changed his clothes. This was a set of indigo robes.
The collar and cuffs are embroidered with silver thread and moiré piping.
A wide-brimmed green auspicious cloud belt is tied around the waist.
Her black hair is tied up and she wears a small silver crown inlaid with jade. The white jade on the silver crown is crystal clear and moist, making her hair black and smooth, like satin.
The child's skin is tender and smooth, and he has been raised in the palace all year round. At first glance, he can be regarded as a noble son.
Zhu Houzhao was very satisfied with this.
He used to wear Hanfu when traveling, but he was fat back then and it didn't feel as good as it does now.
"Let's go."
Zhang Yong had no choice but to kneel down before leaving: "Your Highness, although Your Highness does not allow me to send people to follow, so as not to spoil the fun. But I think it is important not to spoil the fun, but the safety of Your Highness is more important. So no matter what, please agree to your Highness, slave, Even if you send some people secretly."
"You're already disappointed!" Zhu Houzhao said helplessly and walked out.
"This slave is also doing it for His Highness..." Zhang Yong ran to keep up.
…
…
In the capital city of the Ming Dynasty, there were large-scale markets such as Chaoqian City, Deng City, Nei City, Qionghan City, and City God Temple Market.
Among them, only Chaoqian City is open every day. It roughly starts from the Zhengyang Bridge Archway in the south and ends at Daming Gate in the north. It is a block with strong popularity and prosperous trade.
Although Zhu Houzhao traveled more than a month, this was his first time out of the Forbidden City.
As soon as I left the palace and entered the bustling folk market, a different feeling suddenly came to my mind.
It seems that everything is real, instead of facing the same red walls every day, and a group of eunuchs and maids who dare not show any expressions or emotions.
It’s all about the world.
Standing in the middle of the street, even if you just look at the various shops lined up on both sides and listen to the noisy and bustling market... you will find it very interesting.
In the field of vision, there are officials riding horses out of the alley, people from the Western Regions driving camels, and small merchants and hawkers shouting and selling...
"Grow some eyes!" Zhang Yong protected Zhu Houzhao. He was very nervous and saw a man with a red face. He must have been drunk and swaying.
The prince ignored this and happily walked forward, "Let's go shopping with me."
During the Hongzhi period, the political situation was stable and the markets were relatively prosperous. And there are many people traveling from north to south.
Zhu Houzhao suddenly left the palace and was a little unable to control himself. Fortunately, he was still young and could not go to places like Goulan.
Otherwise, it would really be indulgence after repression.
Even now, he is even interested in the ancient art of making candy figures. You must know that in the past, these were just toys he bought to entertain children.
The candy seller was wearing a gray hat, and his warm clothes were a little thin, but he smiled and yelled, "Young master, take a look, pick whatever you like."
Zhang Yong came closer and whispered in his ear, "Young Master, it's better to eat. If you want to eat these, I will find them for you when you go home. I'm outside now..."
"Why are you so disappointed? What's wrong with eating this?" He actually wanted to taste the taste of five hundred years ago, so he simply said: "Pay."
This is completely different from the feeling he had when shopping in the past. At least he paid in copper coins, not RMB.
Zhu Houzhao took it with a smile and took a lick, "Hey, it's so cold."
Not far away from them, there was a little girl who looked like a porcelain doll following. She probably saw Zhu Houzhao eating with a happy face. The child also called out, "Mom, Cai'er also wants to eat the rock candy man."
Although the little girl was exquisite, her clothes were not gorgeous. Her mother held her little hand and lowered her head, not responding to the child's words.
This is something you won’t see in modern times. At that time, adults were afraid that children would eat too much and damage their teeth.
After all, Zhu Houzhao still looks like a red flag. Although he is a noble, he is also full of empathy for the common people. He went back to the stall and took another one, "Old Zhang, pay another one!"
Zhang Yong was stunned, what did Lao Zhang call him?
The owner of the stall understood: "Young Master is really a kind man."
Zhu Houzhao ignored his flattery, took it and left.
In fact, he was about the same height as the little girl. He stretched out his hand and handed it over, "Here you go."
Cai'er was afraid of strangers. Although she wanted to eat, she still hid behind her mother.
Zhu Houzhao raised his head and said to his parents: "Madam, there is no need to be afraid."
Zhang Yong also came over to persuade him: "This is my young master's kindness."
"Thank you, sir." The woman was a little frightened.
"You're welcome. Come on, little girl, take it and eat it, but it's a little cold."
The little girl stared at it twice, then reached out and took it.
Zhu Houzhao's outfit is really clean and 'expensive'. The key is that he can treat her like this. How can it not leave a deep impression in his mind?
"Brother Tangren, can Cai'er know your name?"
The little girl has big eyes and double eyelids, and a small and red mouth. This is the innocence of a child.
It's not like him. The old eunuch who sneaks into the palace with his own tricks is trembling.
"My surname is Lu, my name is Lu..."
He hasn't finished speaking yet,
Suddenly, a young boy wearing a gray-yellow shirt rushed over. He looked like a teenager, immature but somewhat serious.
"Ercai, why are you eating candy?" The young boy was a little annoyed, and helped the woman next to him and said, "My mother is sick and can't even afford the money for medicine. Do you still want to eat this?"
"Brother...oh, I mean little boy, don't worry, I bought all these candy figures."
The cloth-shirted boy looked at him with some caution and fear.
I saw the clothes he was wearing and the attendants behind him,
The young man's eyes showed inferiority and unwillingness, and he was probably a little annoyed. He lifted his sister forward, causing her head to shrink back into her clothes, as if her whole body was being grabbed.
"Go home quickly, don't eat someone else's candy and forget that your last name is Tang!"
Zhang Yong felt angry when he saw it, "Hey, this guy, why doesn't he know how to praise..."
"Forget it, that's a boy's self-esteem." Zhu Houzhao waved his hand to stop him, and thought of another thing in his mind, and asked: "Are most of the people in need of medical treatment?"
Zhang Yong didn't want to say this, but as it was, he could only nod.
Understand, this is called insufficient medical resources in modern times.
At this moment, the stall selling straw hats on the street corner was suddenly knocked over and fell to the ground, causing a commotion. Zhang Yong glanced at him warily, his heart skipping a beat.
He quickly took three steps and two steps to catch up with the prince who continued to walk forward. "Your Highness, there is someone over there who seems to recognize him. I guess... there will be trouble."
The censor has work to do.
Zhu Houzhao continued to play with great interest and said nonchalantly: "It's okay. Originally, I planned to have some fun when I went back this time for our civil servants who talk loudly and care about the country and the people."
