The Rebirth of the Deposed Empress

Hua Wujing secretly observed Hua Zhukong's expression, and was relieved when he saw that he looked normal and did not seem to be emotional.

He nodded in agreement:

"It's been a long time since I went out with my little sister."

After Hua Wujing finished speaking, he looked at Hua Wuke and asked her what she thought.

Of course she agreed. When she was a child, her brother often took her out of the house to see new things, but when she grew up, she rarely had such opportunities.

Watching the two of them leave, Hua Rongyu sighed.

"When will Jing'er grow up? His words are too inappropriate for the situation."

Hua Zhukong snorted in disapproval.

"I think Jing'er has grown up and is very measured in what he says and does."

"Why do you think those two kids talked about Hua Jingqian in front of me today? Could what they said be as bad as what outsiders said? I can't even listen to what my own people said, so how can I tolerate rumors from outside?"

"They just want to see if I have let this matter go. They are afraid that I will be affected by the rumors outside!"

Hua Rongyu didn't think about these things. She was just worried that Hua Zhukong would be upset after hearing these things.

"I didn't think it through."

Hua Zhukong shook his head.

"I see, you just think too much. You always treat them as children who know nothing."

Hua Rongyu did not refute and accepted her father's criticism.

The two people who went out quickly found out where the circus troupe was setting up its stage.

Considering Hua Wuke's daughter's identity, Hua Wujing did not take her to the crowd.

They chose a restaurant opposite the stage and sat in a room upstairs.

The window is open and faces the stage, providing a convenient view.

Hua Wu Ke looked out the window and suddenly smelled the scent of chestnuts.

Feeling greedy, Hua Wu Ke asked Qing Mei to buy some for her.

Hua Wujing also became interested in the food that he hadn't touched for a long time, and instructed his servants:

"Luochuan, come with me. Buy some more, and also some crispy candies and hundred-flower cakes."

After receiving the instructions, Qingmei and her friend quickly bought the things with quick hands and feet.

Just as I was about to go back to the restaurant, I ran into Ye Yi.

Qingmei was holding a bunch of things and was a little surprised to see the person in front of her. Before she could speak, she heard Ye Yi asked:

"How come I met you here? Is Miss Three here too?"

Qingmei nodded and told Hua Wuke and Hua Wujing about going out to play together.

Ye Yi glanced at the pile of things Qingmei was holding, and found a bag of chestnuts mixed in among them.

He asked Qingmei and the other to wait for a moment, then turned and walked to a carriage parked on the street.

A moment later, Ye Buhuo got off the carriage and entered the restaurant.

After Luochuan and Qingmei went out, they watched the performance and became so interested that they joined the crowd in cheering.

After a cup of tea, there was a noise at the door. The two thought it was Qingmei and the others coming back with snacks, so they didn't look back and continued watching the performance downstairs.

The troupe was performing a scene of breaking stones with chest. Hua Wu Ke saw a man lying on a bench and a heavy hammer hit the stone slab on his body. The stone slab cracked, but he was able to jump up from the bench in an instant. He thought that man was very powerful.

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a strong chest!"

Ye Buhuo heard this sentence as soon as he entered the door: "..."

Hua Wujing was also looking out the window when he suddenly sensed an unusual aura fluctuation. He looked towards the door and saw Ye Buhuo with an expressionless face.

The man who had just finished performing the stone-breaking chest trick had now opened his chest to show his intact chest to the audience, which made Hua Wu Ke marvel in admiration.

Hua Wujing did not remind his younger sister, but followed Hua Wuke and agreed, fearing that Ye Buhuo would be angry to death.

Qingzhu couldn't bear it anymore, so she covered her lips and coughed lightly a few times, causing Hua Wuke to look back.

This also caused Hua Wujing to look at him with a hint of resentment because his evil fun was interrupted.

Qingzhu: “…”

Hua Wu Ke didn't have any other intentions, he just simply felt that the man who dared to perform the stone-breaking chest trick was truly extraordinary. However, when Ye Buhuo caught him commenting on a man's chest, Hua Wu Ke felt a little embarrassed.

She said with some guilt:

"What a coincidence... Are you here to watch the circus too?"

Ye Buhuo walked over and sat down beside her, took a clean plate, unwrapped the hot chestnuts wrapped in brown paper and started peeling them.

He said without any expression:

"Unfortunately, I came here specifically to look for you. When I passed by here, I saw that the chestnut vendor was doing a good business, so I stopped to ask Yoruichi to buy some for you, and then I found you here."

Hearing this, Hua Wu Ke felt even more embarrassed. Her eyes were wandering and she would secretly glance over at Ye Buhuo's expression from time to time.

Hua Wujing couldn't bear to see his beloved sister, whom he had loved since childhood, behave like this in front of Ye Buhuo. He sighed and said with a tone of obvious disapproval:

"Be a man! Even if the woman you like compliments other men, what's the big deal? You should be tolerant!"

However, Ye Buhuo saw that Hua Wujing had clearly seen him but was deliberately leading Hua Wuke to say more. Now, hearing Hua Wujing say this, he looked at Hua Wujing with a sneer.

"General Hua, remember what you said and treat your wife with the same tolerance in the future."

Then he looked at Hua Wuke beside him:

"Does Sui Sui think it is or isn't?"

At the same time, Ye Buhuo pushed a plate of peeled chestnuts in front of Hua Wuke.

Seeing Ye Buhuo's move, Hua Wuke finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I just hope he isn't really angry with me!

He pinched a chestnut and put it in his mouth, then nodded hurriedly to agree with Ye Buhuo.

Hua Wujing was choked by the questions and answers between the two people and was speechless. He looked at Hua Wuke speechlessly as he looked at Ye Buhuo with a funny expression.

Hua Wu Ke was helpless when she saw her brother being humiliated. She didn't dare to help him to go against Ye Buhuo at this moment, not to mention that she was still eating the chestnuts peeled by Ye Buhuo.

He divided the chestnut kernels in half and placed them on another plate and passed them to Hua Wujing.

She signaled with her eyes: Eat it. It is a thankless task to take something from someone else, and it is a thankless task to eat something from someone else. After you eat it, don't bother with Ye Buhuo.

Hua Wujing looked at her with disdain: Tsk! I am a man of integrity, I don't want this "food given out of pity"!

It's not like the two of them really don't get along, they're just joking around when they have free time.

She didn't take Hua Wujing's "guts" seriously, and pursed her lips again, signaling him: You really don't want it? Then I take it back?

Hua Wu Ke tentatively pulled the plate back, and the next moment the item was no longer in his hand.

Putting the still hot chestnut into his mouth, Hua Wujing did not give up the guilty conscience at all. He couldn't let his stomach down no matter what, right?

Ye Buhuo pretended not to notice the eye contact between the two.

It was already noon, and the three of them did not return home but had lunch directly in this restaurant.

After lunch, Ye Buhuo looked at Hua Wuke and talked about the emperor’s order this morning.
