The carriage slowly drove out of the palace gate, and instead of the tall red walls and glazed tiles that can't be seen, the vast sky outside the palace, the bustling voices rushing into the eyes and eardrums.

Chen Yizhen raised the curtain and stared at the outside of the car without blinking, as if he was stunned.

Shuang Shu and Shuang Lu also leaned over, their eyes shining brightly squeezed in front of the window.

It's been a long time since I saw this noisy scene, but it's only been a year, but they feel as if it's been half a lifetime.

Shuanglu was so excited that she wanted to grab her own mother and sing two songs, but in a blink of an eye, she saw the emperor who was sitting aside with a calm expression, she pursed her lips and controlled her presumptuousness.

As the carriage gradually moved away from the imperial palace and headed towards the bustling West Market, more and more people came into view, and the more and more prosperous downtown gradually came into view. Simple but clean and tidy people in the capital walked shoulder to shoulder, bustling and bustling, countless There are small stalls and hawkers in Qing Dynasty, all kinds of gadgets, as well as entertainers playing acrobatics on the street, and rows of shops with people coming and going.

Chen Yizhen's eyes became brighter and brighter. At this moment, she finally had a sense of reality. She felt that she had fallen from a rich and glorious paradise to the world, where there was excitement, prosperity, and popularity that could not be seen in the palace.

"like very much?"

Chen Yizhen turned around, Shuangshu and Shuanglu sat on the other side at some point, and the emperor sat in their original position, next to her.

"En!" Chen Yizhen's eyes were shining brightly, and he nodded vigorously.

The emperor chuckled, "I see."

"If you like it, I will bring you out in the future."

The emperor's handsome and heroic face was only two fists away from her. At this moment, she gently pulled the corners of his mouth, and she could clearly see his eyes and the corners of his mouth, and his faint smile.

Chen Yizhen couldn't help but look softly in her eyes, and after a moment of silence, she looked out of the car as if she couldn't finish reading, and couldn't help saying: "Your Majesty, where are we going? If there is time, can we go shopping in the West Market."

The emperor said: "Let's go out of the city now, if I come back in time, I will go shopping with you again."

"Out of the city?" Chen Yizhen was stunned.

"Yes, go out of the city to see the autumn sun."

Autumn Sunshine is an activity of the Double Ninth Festival. As the name suggests, it is to display the fruits of this year's harvest on country roads, fields, in front of houses, in yards, or on roofs.

Walking on the dirt road, breathing the unique fresh air of the countryside, looking at the endless golden fields on both sides, Chen Yizhen opened his eyes wide, but his footsteps became more and more cheerful.

Looking forward to the people under his rule having ample food and clothing and fruitful results, the emperor is also extremely happy.

He looked down and saw the lively woman in front of him, with brisk steps, and a smile could not help but float on the corner of his mouth, "Have you seen Sun Autumn with your family in previous years?"

Chen Yizhen nodded, thought of something, and immediately shook her head. She turned her eyes away and said guiltyly: "The memory is already blurred. If I think about it, I have seen it, and it happened when I was a child."

It is true that she has never seen Sun Autumn in modern times, but the original owner has, especially when she was working outside with her father. Every year at this time of year, her father always takes her and her younger brother to the countryside.

The emperor didn't notice her small movements. He looked into the distance, and when she heard her mentioning her childhood, he narrowed his eyes, fell silent for a while, and suddenly said: "I told you that when I was young, I lived in Huangjue Temple for more than half a year. At that time, The host often took me down the mountain for alms, and let me see all kinds of things in the world, and one of them happened to be in Chongyang."

Having said that, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and his expression gradually entered memories.

Judging from his expression, it should be a good memory.

Chen Yizhen smiled slightly.

They were a group of seven or eight people. Although they changed out of luxurious clothes before they came out, no matter how mediocre the clothes are inside the palace, they are better than those outside the palace. In addition, they are in this line of work. Not ordinary people.

Therefore, after a moment of thinking, an old lady appeared in front of several people.

She had a smile on her face, bright and enthusiastic, "Well, the son and wife are coming to the countryside to watch the autumn sun?"

Chen Yizhen glanced at her, curious, nodded, and said, "Exactly, what's the matter?"

"Oh, it's not a big deal." The aunt rubbed her hands and said, "It's like this. In the past two days, many high-ranking officials and nobles have come to the countryside/experience the customs. The countryside is far away from the city, and it is not convenient to go back and forth. Ladies and gentlemen, please change your clothes. It is not convenient to eat, so several of our families made a calculation and decided to set aside a special place for the nobles to rest their feet."

As she spoke, she scanned them back and forth expectantly.

Its purpose is self-evident.

Chen Yizhen was dumbfounded. For a moment, she put up her sleeves and covered her lips with a smile. She never expected that the ancients were so smart, they could find a business opportunity from a small autumn sun and create a farmhouse.

She turned her head to look at the emperor beside her. The emperor's expression was soothing, with a smile on his face, which seemed very interesting to think about it.

She pursed her lips and smiled, "Your...my lord, what do you think?"

The emperor nodded, "Since Auntie has kindly invited you, there is no reason not to go."

The aunt immediately beamed with joy, and her face was squeezed into a festive chrysanthemum shape. While she stretched out her hand to lead the way, she introduced them enthusiastically, as if she was afraid that they would change their minds midway.

"Your Madam has good eyesight. It's not that the old woman is boasting. The two rooms that the old woman has organized are all neat and clean. In addition, we also provide vegetables and meat. You can tell the old woman what you want to eat. The old woman will definitely go crazy." Send it to you."

Chen Yizhen nodded, "I'm sorry, auntie."

While talking, they came to the aunt's house. This is a typical courtyard, divided into three rooms: main room, east and west wing rooms, and when they arrived, someone happened to come out from the east wing room to see them. After a glance, he paused, then turned around and went back to the house.

The aunt explained with a smile: "The old woman and the old woman's daughter-in-law and grandson all live in the main house. The east wing room is temporarily rented to a family named Chang, but the west wing room is still vacant."

Rong Sheng stepped forward, handed an ingot of broken silver to the aunt, and said with a smile, "Please boil the pot of hot water, auntie."

When the aunt saw the broken silver, her eyes immediately narrowed into a smile, she hurriedly took the broken silver, and said: "Hey, don't worry, the old lady will go to boil the water right now."

"Wait a minute." Shuangshu stopped her, smiled, and said, "Auntie, wait for me, but the water used to make tea is very particular. I'll go with you."

The aunt was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Okay, okay."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at the pair of nobles, her heart trembled, but her demeanor became more respectful.

I heard that only the noble families at the top would be so particular about everything. She didn't recognize the materials on their bodies, she just didn't think they were ordinary people, but now it seems that they are even more expensive than she imagined.

She bent down with a flattering attitude, "Girl, come this way."

Chen Yizhen and the emperor walked into the West Wing, looked around, saw that although there was nothing in it, and it was not very valuable, but it was carefully arranged, and the inside and outside were clean and tidy, they couldn't help but secretly nodded.

Chen Yizhen stepped forward to serve the emperor, "My lord, after walking all the way, sit down and drink some hot tea and eat something."

The emperor waved his hand, indicating that she was not required to serve him. He sat on one side of the hard couch, and then signaled her to sit on the other side, and the two talked to each other.

"Along the way, I haven't seen anyone starving to death, and the common people can eat and dress well. I... I feel relieved."

Chen Yizhen smiled, "Young master is too modest. Who doesn't know that today's majesty is making great efforts to govern, benevolent and loving the people. Under the emperor's feet, the people are naturally rich and healthy."

The emperor was stunned.

Chen Yizhen tilted his head towards him and blinked narrowly.

In an instant, the emperor came back to his senses, smiled, and said calmly and naturally: "Madam is right."

Chen Yizhen: "..."

She rolled her eyes, turned her body away, and didn't look at him, but for some reason, her earlobe felt faintly hot.

After coughing, he simply stood up and said, "Why are you so slow, I'll go and see Shuangshu."

She raised the curtain, walked out, raised her eyes, and happened to catch a familiar look with the person coming out from the opposite side.

It was a woman about her age, wearing a woman's bun, the pearl hairpin on her head and the smooth silk and satin all over her body all showed that this woman came from a noble family.

She smiled kindly at her.

The woman raised her eyebrows, after a while, she turned her eyes away, pretended not to see her, and walked away.

Chen Yizhen was stunned, and immediately, she shook her head and laughed, not paying attention, turned and walked towards Shuangshu.

When I got there, I saw Shuangshu was arguing with the aunt, she walked over and asked, "What's the matter, Shuangshu?"

Shuangshu turned her head and saw her, and hurriedly said: "Madam, why are you out? The tea will be ready soon, you go back to the room first, and the servant will go back in a while."

Chen Yizhen nodded, his eyes scanned the room, his eyes stopped for a while on the lady opposite and the maid next to her, then he turned his head and asked Shuangshu, "I heard you arguing with the aunt just now, what happened? ?”

"This..." Shuangshu hesitated.

The aunt glanced at her, wiped the sweat from her forehead, couldn't help stepping forward, and said: "Ma'am, it's like this, the old woman and the eldest son went to the city today, and happened to meet someone selling lotus roots, and bought some because they saw the freshness. Who would have thought that Mrs. Chang and your maids would see them after they came back, and they all asked for this lotus root. However, this thing is expensive, and old women and elders don’t buy much, and it will be enough for two people. , this is..."

Hearing this, Chen Yizhen understood that it was nothing more than Shuangshu's eagerness to protect the lord, thinking that the food in the farmhouse was not very tasty, and it happened that the eldest son of the woman brought back the lotus root, which was only eaten by the court and noble families in the last season , I just wanted to bring them back.

Chen Yizhen didn't think it was necessary, the court didn't have anything, and it wasn't worth being angry with others outside the palace for such a little thing.

Who would have thought that before she opened her mouth, that Mrs. Chang took the lead and said slowly: "Although buying and selling things pay attention to equal competition, no matter what, we arrived early and greeted the owner in advance. If you have any good things, you should think of us first, this lady, I think you won't fight with us."

Chen Yizhen raised her eyebrows, and for a moment, she smiled gently, nodded and said, "This is what it should be."

Mrs. Chang smiled.

Chen Yizhen turned around and told Shuangshu, "Come on, it's not a precious thing. You won't be able to eat it when you go back to the mansion. But at this time, you're being so petty, so why don't you hurry up and bring the hot water and go back to the house, the young master is still waiting in the house."

After all, she turned and left without looking at anyone.

Shuangshu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came to her senses, pursed her lips into a smile, brought up the hot water, and said in response, "Madam taught me that this servant has shamed you."

After they left, Mrs. Chang came back to her senses and realized that she was so angry that her face turned livid and she gritted her teeth with hatred.
