The Adventures of the Crying Princess

The sun was shining brightly and the streets were crowded with people. Emperor De did not take a carriage. He preferred to stroll along the streets like a free wandering cloud and wild crane.

He watched the bargaining among the vendors, listened to their shouting, and smelled the mixed smell of cow dung and dirt. It had been thirty years. It was the first time in thirty years that he had walked freely in the streets.

It is said that one feels free without being an official. But he feels free without being an emperor.

I saw a group of children surrounding someone selling candy figures at the street corner.

"Five from the third brother's family, three from the Bai family, and I want one too, a total of nine. Okay, let's have ten. If that girl wakes up and sees that she is not there, she will probably cry." Emperor Chengde calculated to himself.

Seeing that His Majesty was in a good mood, Eunuch Chen was also happy. "Your Majesty, you still have the Queen, the Ninth Princess, the three generals of the Bai family, and the three wives to take care of? Aren't you afraid that the Queen will be angry with you, and the Ninth Princess and the little grandson will cry?"

The emperor was in a good mood. "Buy, buy all. I'll buy one for you too. You old fox, you've been following me for so long, you haven't eaten one yet, have you?"

As they were talking, the empress's carriage arrived behind Emperor Mingde. It was not easy to shout "Your Majesty" on the street, "Master, would you like to get in the carriage?"

"Madam, please go first. I have some things to buy." Emperor Chengde was very pleased with the call of "Master". He loved the life of ordinary people too much.

What kind of life did he live in the past? He had to review memorials day and night, and whenever there was a natural disaster or man-made disaster, they would blame it on his lack of moral character.

The court officials all had their own thoughts and ideas, and he had to control them one by one. How could ordinary people live a comfortable life?

Cry if you want to cry, laugh if you want to laugh. If you don't like what you hear, curse back.

Emperor Chengde watched two vegetable vendors quarreling over who occupied whose space for half an hour.

"Your Majesty, it's time to go. The Queen is waiting anxiously." Eunuch Chen looked at the sky and said, "It's cloudy. I'm afraid it's going to rain soon."

When the emperor heard that it was going to rain, he gave up and left the market with all the interesting gadgets.

He had walked through this street before when he left the palace, but he had never experienced it in detail. Now that his burden had been lifted, he felt more energetic. Everything he saw and heard was interesting.

It is said that the old man who loves to laugh will have good luck. As soon as he turned a corner, he met the eldest princess who was selling roasted nuts. The eldest princess did not bring any entourage today. She bought some roasted nuts and went to the general's mansion.

"Precious sister, we are really destined to be brothers and sisters. We can meet here. I'll give you a candy man to eat."

Baomei was the eldest princess's nickname. No one had called her that for a long time. For a moment, she felt a little embarrassed. The eldest princess took it with a smile and bowed slightly, "Thank you, my brother, for the reward."

The brother and sister chatted and laughed as they arrived at the General's Mansion. Emperor Chengde was used to going through the back door, so he took his sister's hand and went through the back door.

The eldest princess had never walked through the back door, but she had no choice but to follow the emperor as he invited her.

At this time, the General's Mansion was connected to the Prince Mu's Mansion. Emperor Chengde first came to the courtyard where Bai Yimeng lived. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Yuwenhui, Bai Yuyan, Bai Yushan, Ping An and Xile, and three little kids playing with the soil in the courtyard. Bai Yufeng was only five months old and had no way to integrate with his brothers and sisters. He sat on the pile of soil and played with sand.

Ping An was the first to see Emperor Chengde. She and Xile were raised by the emperor. When she saw Emperor Chengde, she ran over with a smile, "Grandfather, why are you here just now? Brother Hui has been here for quite some time."

Xile also ran forward and asked his grandfather to hold them. Emperor Chengde loved them very much, holding one in each hand, and was so happy.

Their happiness only lasted three seconds. When the three little ones saw that their grandfather didn't hold them, they almost simultaneously pouted and started crying.

The five people born to Bai Yimeng have one thing in common: they are annoying, partial and never do anything.

Emperor Chengde hurriedly put down the older one and embraced the younger one. The older one was also unhappy and cried softly with his mouth pouted.

The old emperor was overwhelmed for a moment and could only gather the five children together, hug them and give them a big hug.

"Five little monkeys, my brother will be busy in the future." The eldest princess smiled from ear to ear and gave each of them a small golden lock. "I knew this girl could give birth. One baby is not enough. I'm afraid our Yuwen family will be very busy in the future. My brother, please take care of your health, otherwise how can you take care of the children for Princess Yi?"

Emperor Chengde smiled from ear to ear, "I want to accompany them as they grow up, and teach them to read and practice martial arts."

Emperor Mingde looked at Hui'er and said, "Hui'er, Grandpa Huang hasn't tested you on your homework recently. Bring your brothers and sisters to the house in the back later."

At this time, the Emperor Chengde's order had been conveyed, and Prince Mu's Mansion had been packed up. The servants of Prince Yi's Mansion had already come to serve.

The emperor first went to see Bai Yimeng's bedroom. The door was closed and Doctor Guo was guarding outside. When he saw Emperor Chengde coming, he stood up and saluted, "Your Majesty."

"Don't be so polite, doctor. I want to know the princess's condition."

Doctor Guo told Emperor Chengde about Bai Yimeng's poisoning.

"She did this all for me. This kid is really something."

"Xiao Qi is tough on the outside but soft on the inside. She won't easily ignore the people she recognizes. Your Majesty's coming is also a blessing for this child. I believe that with Your Majesty's blessing, this child will be able to successfully survive this disaster."

The emperor said nothing more. He ordered people to bring in chairs, put up a desk, and started working.

The weather in winter is inevitably a bit chilly even when the sun is shining brightly.

Working in the corridor is not a good choice. Doctor Guo advised, "Your Majesty, you should go to the wing room, or the house in the backyard. It has just been cleaned up there, so it must be warm."

"It's just two memorials. Everything will be fine after I review them. I want to spend more time with her." Emperor Mingde originally planned to go to the house in the back to rest, but after hearing what Doctor Guo said, he felt very uncomfortable.

Thinking of the stubborn monkey, who had red eyes when he entered the palace that day. She didn't say it, but Emperor Chengde could feel that the monkey was worried about him.

Even though he was angry, Stubborn Monkey was still worried about his diet.

Two memorials were sent in the blink of an eye, and Emperor Chengde was sitting at her door in the corridor for a long time.

As soon as the three brothers of the Bai family returned home, they discovered changes. Emperor Chengde was sitting in the west wing holding Bai Yushan and reading.

After his own grandchildren fell asleep, he would play with other people's children. There were so many children here and they were all very cute. The emperor was so happy that he had several more crow's feet.

"Your Majesty, your humble servant pays homage." The three brothers of the Bai family knelt down and kowtowed.

"Everyone, please stand up. I have issued an order that you don't have to follow the etiquette when you visit incognito. Just greet them when you meet them, no need to kneel down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Chengde didn't look at the three people and said, "There are sugar figures in the back, you can eat them."

The three of them looked at each other in bewilderment. This reward was a bit strange. Three men in their thirties with untidy beards eating candied rabbits? It felt a bit awkward.

"If we don't eat, will it be considered as disobeying the emperor's order?" The three looked at each other and decided to eat. Face is not as important as brains.

Seeing that the three of them loved it, Emperor Chengde smiled and said, "It's because you, the children of the Bai family, gave them face that they didn't eat it. Since you like it so much, I will buy some for you tomorrow."

Emperor Mingde bought a hundred or so candy figures, thinking that everyone would like them. However, only the Queen, the Ninth Princess, Hui'er, and a few other children showed some respect. The rest of the people refused to eat them. The most annoying one was the Dragon Valley Master. It would have been fine if he didn't eat them, but he also accused him of causing trouble.

Fortunately, the three brothers of the Bai family gave him face and ate with relish, "There's more here, eat slowly."
