Queen Wen looked at the little interaction between the two little guys with a smile on her face. Shen Zhi's love for her heart and her carefree appearance were so good.

"What are Wan'er looking at?" Emperor Yan couldn't help but asked when he saw Queen Wen looking in a certain direction.

"Your Majesty, look at Shen Zhi and Xin Xin. I seem to have seen your young Majesty and myself. We were as close as they were back then." Queen Wen's smile did not reach her eyes, but was still as gentle, but Emperor Yan felt it.

A deep sense of irony.

Emperor Yan knew that she had a deep hatred for him, but he didn't know how to comfort her and change her view of him. He could only call her with a complicated expression, "Wan'er..."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry, I am just expressing my feelings."

"By the way, Your Majesty, it's rare that Concubine De is willing to come out today, so you should take good care of her."

Queen Wen didn't like that Emperor Yan kept his eyes on her so much, so she turned the conversation to Concubine De, who always lived in seclusion.

Concubine De was also the favorite concubine of Emperor Yan before he succeeded Concubine Xian. Seeing that Yanchi is only two years younger than Yan Huai, you can tell how favored Concubine De was back then.

Sure enough, Emperor Yan's eyes quickly shifted to Concubine De and her son. Empress Wen didn't care at all. The emperor's favor was just a shackle for her, so it was better to give it to those who needed it.

The banquet ended at the end of Xu. The courtiers came out of the palace in twos and threes with their respective rituals. After Yuan Yuan also said hello to Queen Wen, he pulled Yan Huai towards the East Palace in a sprint of 100 meters.

Run wildly.

Concubine Xian, who had been silent for several days, finally successfully intercepted Emperor Yan, who was originally supposed to stay in Queen Wen's palace, and brought him to her own palace.

Queen Wen was not angry at all about this. Emperor Yan was free to go wherever he liked, and it had nothing to do with her.

After returning to the East Palace, Yuan Yuan quickly asked Qing Yi to change her clothes, fearing that if she was delayed for a second, it would delay her time to leave the palace to play.

I disliked the slow movement of Tsing Yi, so I wanted to wear it myself in a hurry, but ended up wearing it backwards.

"Miss Xinxin, don't worry, His Highness is waiting for you outside." Qingyi could only remove her knotted belt and put it on again.

She put on her outer robe, fastened her belt, and put on her cute little snowball hair ornament. Before she could even wait for Qing Yi to praise her, Yuan Yuan rushed out of the dormitory impatiently.

Pulling Yan Huai, he was about to sprint out of the palace with a sprint of 100 meters. Yan Huai stretched out his hand and gently pressed her little neck, immediately making the little girl unable to move.

"Ah ah ah! Yan Shenzhi, what are you doing! Let's leave quickly! If we go late, we won't have any fun!" Yuan Yuan went to beat him angrily.

Yan Huai stretched out his hand to hold her troubled little fist in his hand, and slowly led her towards the carriage parked outside the palace gate.

This time, I only took Qing Yi and Zhui Feng with me when I left the palace. Zhui Yun was responsible for leading the Tianji Guards to protect them in the dark.

After getting on the carriage, Yuan Yuan was like a lark about to fly out of the cage, pulling Yan Huai and chattering non-stop.

"Yan Shenzhi, have you ever eaten candied haws on a stick?"

"Yan Shenzhi, have you ever played fishing for small fish?"

"Yan Shenzhi, have you let go of the wishing river lantern?"

"Yan Shenzhi, have you ever eaten roasted suckling pig? It's delicious! It's fragrant and crispy. Wow, I will definitely eat more later!"

Every sentence is inseparable from Yan Shenzhi, and every sentence is inseparable from eating, drinking and having fun.

Yan Huai did not let her talk to herself and enjoy herself as usual, but he was willing to accompany her and talk about fun things.

"When I was an orphan, I went out to play with my mother in the palace. There were fire-breathing rings on the street, and there were animal performances, including lions jumping through fire rings, bears kicking balls, and monkeys pulling carts." Yanhuai's childhood was also carefree.

But after Queen Wen fell ill, he no longer had the time to have fun.

Yuan Yuan listened to what he said with a longing expression on his face and asked curiously, "Will there really be animal performances? Why have I never seen one before?"

"I remember that these circuses originated from foreign countries and were not common." He also happened to encounter a foreign caravan passing through Yanjing that year, otherwise he would not have had the chance to see them.

"Okay, then when I grow up, Yan Shenzhi, can you take me to see animal performances in foreign countries?" Yuan Yuan looked at him longingly, who doesn't want to see (go out) and get to know (out) more?

What about playing)?

"We'll talk about it when you grow up." Yan Huai opened his mouth and wrote a blank check to the little girl. There are still ten years before she originally wanted to grow up. No one dares to draw conclusions about the changes in these ten years.

After driving for two and a quarter of hours, the carriage stopped at the most prosperous Zhuque Street in Yanjing.

I wanted to get out of the carriage in a hurry, but if Yan Huai hadn't been holding her, I'm afraid she would have run into the crowd like a wild horse running wild.

Yuan Yuan took Yan Huai and went straight to the mask stall, picked up a mask of a little rabbit and a little tiger, and put it on his and Yan Huai's faces.

Oh, she was too short to reach Yan Huai's face, so she put it in his hand and motioned for him to put it on.

Qing Yi curiously asked the little girl, "Miss Xinxin, why are you wearing a rabbit mask, but the young master is wearing a tiger mask?"

Of course Yuan Yuan had his own explanation, "I'm so cute, so of course I wear a bunny mask! You see Yan Shenzhi is so fierce all day long, even scarier than a tiger! A big tiger mask suits him so well!"

"And Yan Shenzhi can protect me like a big tiger. I like big tigers!"

Qing Yi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the little girl's words, which were first subdued and then strong. She saw with her own eyes that His Highness looked very ugly when Miss Xinxin said that he was as scary as a big tiger. Fortunately,

The little ancestor made up for himself at the end.

The little girl didn't pay attention to Yan Huai's emotional changes at all, and pulled him towards the candied haws, "Yan Shenzhi, look at it! What a big candied haws!"

Today's candied haws are actually more than double the size of usual ones, and are as big as the original small fist.

She originally only wanted a bunch of candied haws, which contained three small fists of candied haws, which she would definitely not be able to eat, but there were four of them, and three candied haws were not enough to share.

So the little girl showed her respect for Yan Shenzhi and asked his opinion first, "Yan Shenzhi, do you want to eat candied haws?" She said and shook the gourd skewers in her hand.

Yan Huai didn't think much about it. He just thought that the little girl wanted to buy one more bunch, but eating too much sweet and sour food was bad for her teeth. He didn't want her to eat more, so he refused, "No, you can eat it yourself."

.”

Yuan Yuan took a closer look at the expression on his face and realized that he really didn't want to eat, so she's not welcome ^_^

He turned around and pointed at the candied haws and said to Qing Yi and Zhui Feng, "Qing Yi Zhui Feng, Yan Shenzhi won't eat it, and we just have one each!"

"..." Neither Qing Yi nor Zhui Feng dared to look at Yuan Yuan's face. Needless to say, it must be ugly.

My little ancestor, can you please give me some snacks? Even if His Highness doesn’t want to eat, don’t just pick it out in public!

Yuan Yuan is a person with poor eyesight. When he saw that neither of them answered him, he thought they didn't like it either, so he kept trying to persuade him, "How about we take one each? This candied haws is too big. I only want one, otherwise I'll wait."

I won’t be able to eat anything else!”

After speaking, he pulled down Yan Huai's sleeves, with begging eyes, gesturing for him to speak.

Yan Huai glanced at the candied haws in her hand, then glanced at the two of them, signaling for them to accept it.

"Thank you, Miss Xinxin." Qing Yi and Zhui Feng didn't dare to disobey. His Highness agreed, and they continued.
