The capital of the Star-Moon Kingdom is not very prosperous and lively, but it does not look simple and desolate. Not every household seems to be wealthy, but everyone lives and works in peace and contentment. From the outside, it doesn’t look like the country has suffered a disaster and the royal family has changed hands!
what on earth is it? .br>
Walking on the streets of the capital city of Xingyue Kingdom, Bai Yanqing felt more and more strange the more she walked around! If the Star-Moon Kingdom was really experiencing a catastrophe, why didn’t the people in the capital notice it at all? This is obviously... not very reasonable!
"Mrs. Qingluan, are you sure that Xingyue Kingdom is currently undergoing political... changes?"
Bai Yanqing looked at Mrs. Qingluan suspiciously, with disbelief in her eyes.
Mrs. Qingluan looked at the harmonious scene on the street and muttered in her heart, "This... I can't tell what is going on!"
On the street, people were coming and going, and everyone had a smile more or less on their face. Passers-by from the south and north are everywhere. There was no look of panic or fear on anyone's face!
Such a scene does not look like the country is in danger!
"We'll wait till night! When the people who take us into the palace arrive, we'll know what's going on!"
Mrs. Qingluan looked at the people coming and going on the street and said with a frown.
"That's all it can do!"
Bai Yanqing nodded and agreed.
Now that they are out, they can take advantage of their rare free time to get familiar with the customs and customs of Xingyue Kingdom.
"You can steal half a day's leisure."
Bai Yanqing smiled at Yun Qi, then pulled him towards the crowd.
"Places with many people are the most lively and fun!"
Bai Yanqing always has his own weird remarks.
This group of people had just arrived. Except for Mrs. Qingluan, everyone else was not very familiar with the capital of Xingyue Kingdom. Therefore, they walked around cautiously, fearing that they would be scattered by the crowd and not be found again!
"Lingyu, have you been in Xingyue Kingdom for a long time?"
Caixing asked happily, holding in her hand the snacks Lingyu had just bought for her.
Hearing this, Lingyu frowned slightly, thought for a moment and then said: "I can't remember what happened when I was a child. But... after growing up, this is my first time to the capital of the Star-Moon Kingdom."
"Weren't you here with old man Tonghua? Where are the others? Why are you alone in that teahouse?"
Cai Xing was really a curious baby. He caught Ling Yu and asked him all kinds of questions.
"Master...should appear soon!"
Lingyu didn't answer the question. It was obvious that he didn't want to mention this matter on the street.
Caixing nodded and asked no more questions. Holding up the snack in his hand, he ran towards Bai Yanqing! Ling Yu probably didn't see the disappointment in Cai Xing's eyes when he turned around...
Bai Yanqing and Lai Bizhi were choosing jewelry in a jewelry shop on the roadside. Behind them, Yun Qi and Yuan Ziyue were waiting patiently.
"Where should I go? Do you have to go to this shop that sells women's jewelry? What is there to do? When you go out, you will either visit a jewelry store or a rouge and gouache store! Why are you women so troublesome?"
Yun Ji on the side felt bored and helpless, with a handsome face full of impatience.
"You are the most impatient! In the future, I don’t know which girl will fall in love with you!"
Bai Yanqing was already used to Yun Ji's bad temper, so she rolled her eyes at him and replied.
When Yun Ji saw this, he immediately replied unconvinced: "If any girl likes me, that's their blessing! This emperor... this young master is unparalleled in the world! In terms of appearance and family background, how is he any worse than others?"
"Your parents gave you your looks, and your parents earned a good family background for you! Apart from these, what do you have? Talent? Character? You don't have talent, and character... just so-so... maybe, Is there really a girl with bad eyes who can take a look at you! But...mostly because of your family background!"
Bai Yan
What Qing said slowly and leisurely was always the most touching! Now, she loves to see Yun Ji's anxious look the most!
When it comes to quarreling and bickering, Bai Yanqing dares to claim to be the second best, but no one dares to claim to be the first! Just rely on Yun Ji? Even if he practices for another five hundred years, he may not be able to defeat Bai Yanqing!
"you!"
Yun Ji was really anxious!
"Brother! Look at her!"
After failing to defeat Bai Yanqing, Yun Ji turned to look for Yun Qi!
After entering the capital city of Star-Moon Kingdom, they all consciously changed their words.
"Brother Wei thinks...what your sister-in-law said makes sense!"
Yun Qi spoke unhurriedly, without resting his hand! He carefully picked out a jade hairpin for Bai Yanqing and handed it to her. Bai Yanqing's satisfied smile made Yunqi's mood become brighter and brighter!
"Brother! You...are so angry with me!"
Yun Ji glared at Bai Yanqing hatefully, then hid aside and sulked!
Ever since he had Bai Yanqing, Yun Ji felt that he had fallen out of favor. He was no longer his good brother. He only thought about himself! Woohoo... Yunji is so wronged! So frustrating! so sad! So sad!
"Okay, good brother~ When you go home in the future, I will find a girl from a good family for you!"
Seeing Yun Ji's aggrieved look, Bai Yanqing kindly walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder and comforted him.
"Who is your good brother? Don't forget, I'm one year older than you!"
Yun Ji shook off Bai Yanqing's hand, his face full of disgust!
Yun Ji's dishonest appearance not only made Yun Qi look unhappy, but also made Bai Yanqing's face look a little unhappy!
"Pa" Bai Yanqing slapped Yun Ji on the shoulder without hesitation! She exerted all her strength, and Yunji grinned in pain and screamed!
"You woman, why are you so vicious? How dare you hit me?!"
Yun Ji is angry! He has grown so big that no one dares to really hit him! But Bai Yanqing just set such a precedent!
"What's wrong with beating you? Have you heard that your eldest sister-in-law is a mother? I am the eldest daughter-in-law, as your father has personally admitted!"
Bai Yanqing didn't give in, this was a sign of great momentum!
Yun Ji was so angry that he didn't even scold him, but he didn't dare to fight back! I can only run around in circles in a hurry!
"My lady, you have a lot, so don't argue with my third brother! He is still a kid at heart!"
Yun Qi was on the side. Seeing Yun Ji's appearance, he was jumping up and down. He kindly said a word of mercy for him!
Bai Yanqing is also a person who knows how to take things easy. After all, Yun Ji is Yun Qi's younger brother, so she shouldn't go too far!
"Forget it, that being the case... Master Yun will pay for all the jewelry I want today!"
Bai Yanqing looked at Yun Qi with a smile and said happily.
"If the wife is happy, she can buy the whole shop for her husband and give it to you, that's fine too!"
Yun Qi replied with a smile, without any stinginess in his words.
Bai Yanqing raised her eyebrows, lowered her head, and picked out jewelry with Lai Bizhi. After a while, she held up the hairpin in her hand and said to Yunqi: "The jewelry in this shop is not good-looking, so I will choose this one!"
An ordinary gold hairpin, nothing special about it. The style is not novel, it is ordinary.
"Just this one thing?"
Yunqi was a little surprised.
"Well, that's it."
Bai Yanqing nodded and asked the store owner to help wrap it up. Then he turned around, led Lai Bizhi and Cai Xing out.
"Sister, is she in a bad mood?"
Lai Bizhi asked cautiously.
Bai Yanqing shook her head and said nothing.
"Caixing, there are red bean cakes!"
Bai Yanqing pointed to the small stall not far away and shouted to Cai Xing.
Caixing looked up and saw that it was true! There was an old woman there, pushing a cart, selling red bean cakes!
Seeing this, Cai Xing hurried over and bought some hot red beans.
Cake, brought it back!
The sticky red bean cake is not too sweet! The pink red bean filling is not dry at all! The oily red bean filling is not choking at all!
"It's really different from what I had in Chen Kingdom before!"
Bai Yanqing gave a rare compliment, and then couldn't help but eat another piece!
"The red bean paste in this red bean cake is mixed with lard! So it is oily, not sticky to the teeth, and not choking!"
Bai Yanqing was talking to herself and handed a piece to Lai Bizhi.
Lai Bizhi raised her eyes and glanced meaningfully at Bai Yanqing, then reached out and took the red bean cake from her.
"Indeed, it's more delicious than what we have in the capital!"
"Caixing, you eat too! You love red bean cake the most!"
Bai Yanqing urged Cai Xing to eat red bean cake again. Upon hearing this, Cai Xing hurriedly grabbed a piece and threw it into his mouth.
The red bean cake is neither big nor small, just enough to eat one piece in one bite.
"Would you like to give some to Mr. Yun and the others?"
Lai Bizhi glanced at the few people following not far away and reminded them kindly.
"No need! What kind of good things have you never tasted, young master from the official family? How could you be so rare with the snacks bought from our roadside stall?!"
Bai Yanqing shook her head and did not let Caixing be sent to Yunqi and the others.
These words immediately stunned Cai Xing. At this time, Cai Xing also faintly noticed something was wrong. She always felt... Bai Yanqing seemed to have something in her words!
It was nearly noon, and the sun was in full bloom. Xingyue Kingdom is located in the west, and the temperature all year round is higher than that of Chen Kingdom! Right now, although winter has just begun, the noon in Star-Moon Kingdom is still a bit dazzling!
Bai Yanqing and his party walked around for a while, and there was a slight drop of sweat on everyone's forehead!
"Which restaurant is the best in the capital city of Star-Moon Kingdom? How about I treat everyone to dinner?"
Bai Yanqing turned around and shouted to Yun Qi and others who were following behind. Without waiting for anyone to respond, she then asked Lingyu about the best restaurant nearby.
So, Bai Yanqing led a large group of people and walked towards the restaurant.
A restaurant with exotic characteristics, and so are the dishes! When the fragrant aroma of the vegetables overflowed, Bai Yanqing's expression changed slightly. Everyone present, except Lai Bizhi, no one noticed!
"Sister Yan Qing, follow me to find the shopkeeper to pick out some jars of good wine!"
Lai Bizhi pulled Bai Yanqing out of the box door.
"Hey...sister, you don't have to be like this, I'm fine!"
Bai Yanqing gently patted the back of Lai Bizhi's hand and said softly.
"Be relaxed about everything. Sometimes, thinking too much will only damage your spirit!"
Lai Bizhi held Bai Yanqing's hand with her backhand and comforted her.
Bai Yanqing nodded and said nothing. She and Lai Bizhi went downstairs and found the shopkeeper. After all... they had agreed to come out to look for wine, so how could they return empty-handed?
After choosing two jars of good wine, Bai Yanqing asked Lai Bizhi to take her upstairs first: "Sister, go up first, I'll come back later!"
Lai Bizhi didn't think so and went upstairs with the wine.
"Shopkeeper, how much does the wine and food in the private room upstairs cost in total? I'll pay first!"
"Girl, the total is ten taels of silver."
The shopkeeper flipped the abacus beads a few times and spoke diligently.
Bai Yanqing nodded, took out a piece of silver and put it on the counter.
"Shopkeeper, I need to go out first. If the guests in the private room upstairs come out after their meal, tell them that I paid the bill and went to buy red bean cakes!"
Bai Yanqing put down her money, exchanged a few words with the shopkeeper of the restaurant, then turned around and walked out.
Ten taels of silver was exactly the price of the gold hairpin that Yun Qi bought for Bai Yanqing.
It was noon, and the sun outside was shining brightly. Bai Yanqing couldn't help but raise her arms to cover the sun.
There are not many pedestrians on the street. Maybe they have all gone home for lunch? !
Bai Yanqing secretly thought about how long it would be before Lai Bizhi and the others finished their meal. Immediately afterwards, Bai Yanqing raised her feet and ran quickly towards the jewelry shop not far away!
