After Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu were dressed, they looked at Hong Ling and the others and said, "Okay, you can set off now."
Hongling and Dongchen looked at each other, and then set off with another pair of fake Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao to go up the mountain to burn incense.
Looking at this large group of people going to burn incense, Qian Jiujiu shook his head and clicked his tongue twice: "I believe it myself, let alone others."
Mu Yexiao glanced at Qian Jiujiu and said, "Jiu'er, should we change our names now and go out as well?"
Qian Jiujiu looked at Mu Yexiao with disdain: "Look at you, you are obviously a wealthy businessman, how can you not bring people with you! How can others believe it?"
Mu Yexiao laughed: "My Jiu'er is still the best. Well, I'll just take a servant and a maid with me."
As soon as he finished speaking, two people walked out from the darkness, one male and one female, one looked like a servant and the other looked like a maid, and both knelt on the ground.
"I am safe. I am Qingyue, your servant, meeting the prince and princess."
Qian Jiujiu looked at Mu Yexiao with some curiosity: "So you have prepared everything? Did you also come up with this in secret?"
Mu Yexiao nodded: "Of course, how could a husband let his wife fall into danger! Don't make mistakes in addressing me, call me again."
"I am safe, your servant Qingyue, meet Laoyou, madam."
He looked at the two of them contentedly and said, "Get up, we can go out. This time we want to check out the sweet potatoes we have planted."
"We are going to buy land, did you know? We are also asking about sweet potatoes."
Ping An and Qing Yue nodded immediately: "Slave, I understand."
In this way, the group was ready and quietly left the palace. They did not go through the door, but through a secret passage that Mu Yexiao took Qian Jiujiu through.
After Qian Jiujiu came out, she found that she was on a small hill in the suburbs. Of course, this small hill was also the property of the palace. She looked at Mu Yexiao and said, "My husband, I didn't know that you had built a secret passage in the palace."
Mu Yexiao rolled his eyes: "Of course, I do understand what you mean by a cunning rabbit has three burrows."
Qian Jiujiu laughed and said, "Yes, I just realized today that my husband is so outstanding. Ah, it really makes me happy."
Mu Yexiao listened to Qian Jiujiu's naughty tone and suddenly felt a little amused and looked at Qian Jiujiu: "You, go away quickly."
The group came down the hill and walked for a long time before they saw some people. They were all working in the fields. Qian Jiujiu had only grown medicinal herbs in his life.
I have never planted a field before, so of course I was very interested in seeing these, including the seedlings on the ground and some sweet potato seedlings.
"Husband, I suddenly feel that this world is so magical. Look at those seedlings. They are so small, but they can bloom and bear fruit!"
Mu Yexiao burst out laughing: "What are you talking about, Madam? If these seedlings don't bloom and bear fruit, what's the use of them? Are you interested? There's someone over there, let's go over and ask them."
Qian Jiujiu glanced at Mu Yexiao with a cold brow. He was working now! Who would answer your question? However, she did not say anything, but followed behind Mu Yexiao.
He walked outside and came to the old man holding a hoe. Ping An jumped out and looked at the old man: "Old man, can I ask you something?"
The old man was a kind person, and nothing happened to him that Qian Jiujiu had just thought of. He didn't even stop the work in his hands, but just talked to Ping An in a lot of chatter.
Qian Jiujiu walked up to a peasant woman who was putting rice seedlings in the field. "Lady, what are you planting? Why haven't I seen this before?"
When the peasant woman heard someone talking to her, she immediately looked up at Qian Jiujiu. Seeing that Qian Jiujiu was well dressed and thinking that she was from a wealthy family, she spoke with a proud look on her face.
"This, Princess Xiao said that this is sweet potato seedlings, a kind of food! Many people are planting this this year, and there are many people who want to plant it but don't have the chance!"
Hearing the proud tone of the peasant woman, Qian Jiujiu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth: "Really? That's something new. No wonder I haven't seen it before."
The peasant woman laughed even more when she heard Qian Jiujiu's words: "This lady is a noble lady, it's normal for her to know these things. But, madam, what are you doing here?"
Qian Jiujiu listened to the words of the peasant woman. This was also a test. Who said that peasant women were all naive? Look, she still knew how to ask! Fortunately, she had found an excuse early in the morning.
He said a little embarrassedly: "I heard that a new kind of food was found here, so I came to see if I could buy some. I was thinking about buying some land."
"My husband and I are from the next city, and we want to settle down in Kyoto! We have to buy some farmland nearby."
When the peasant woman heard this, she was surprised: "Buy land? There is no land left. You don't know that many people have planted their fields full of sweet potatoes this year."
"Anyway, there is no land for sale in our village."
When Qian Jiujiu heard this, she was moved and looked at the peasant woman: "Sister, can I ask you something? Can I get these sweet potato seedlings?"
The peasant woman laughed when she heard this, then shook her head: "Madam, don't even think about it. This matter is personally supervised by the princess. Who would dare to do this privately?"
"Even those corrupt officials didn't dare to get involved this time."
Qian Jiujiu understood after hearing this, and Ping An and Qingyue had obviously also planned everything out, so they came over, and Mu Yexiao had been standing beside Qian Jiujiu.
Listening to Qian Jiujiu chatting with the peasant woman and looking at the smile on Qian Jiujiu's face, Mu Yexiao's eyes were full of doting, and it seemed that his goal was almost achieved.
Mu Yexiao then supported Qian Jiujiu's waist and said, "Madam, are you tired? Let's go sit under the tree over there."
Now the sun is getting bigger, and those who are tired will go to rest under the big tree, which at least can block the sun.
Qian Jiujiu thought about it and decided that it would be good to go over and listen to those people chatting, so she agreed: "Okay, then my husband, let's go together."
Qian Jiujiu glanced at the peasant woman again and said, "Sister, my husband and I will leave first."
The peasant woman was also very enthusiastic. She looked at Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao and said, "This lady and the master have such a good relationship."
Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu looked at each other and smiled, then came to the big tree. There were a few wooden stakes under the tree, which could be used as benches.
Most people in the countryside are kindhearted. Seeing that Qian Jiujiu was pregnant, a peasant woman offered a wooden stake and said, "Madam, please sit here."
Qian Jiujiu immediately thanked Rennian: "Thank you, elder sister, you are such a good person."
The corner of Mu Yexiao's mouth twitched. It had been a long time since he heard Qian Jiujiu's catchphrase, "You are such a good person." He couldn't help but think of the time when he first heard Qian Jiujiu describe himself like this.
The peasant woman was also obviously stunned: "How can you be called a good person? We are different from you. We are so careless that we can sit anywhere on the ground. You are a noble person."
Qian Jiujiu was somewhat silent. Two people had already said that she was a noble person, which made her want to know what made her noble. She couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.
"What noble man? I am just an ordinary person."
An old lady who was resting nearby looked at Qian Jiujiu and said, "That one is different. Look at you. You can tell from your demeanor that you are not ordinary..."
Qian Jiujiu sat here for a while and listened to these people praising her. Even though she was so thick-skinned, she felt a little embarrassed and laughed it off.
Mu Yexiao was somewhat surprised to see that Qian Jiujiu could have guessed the same thing as this peasant woman. When leaving the village, Mu Yexiao's eyes were a little mischievous.
"Ningzi, I never thought that you like being praised."
Qian Jiujiu rolled his eyes immediately: "Come on, I guess they are just praising my clothes, what kind of magnanimity? I guess if I come here wearing a beggar's clothes one day, they will punish me."
Mu Yexiao suddenly found it a little funny: "How could I let you wear beggar's clothes when my husband is here?"
Qian Jiujiu curled his lips and said, "It's better not to, but who knows."
Qian Jiujiu ended the topic directly after saying that. She looked at Mu Yexiao and suddenly started to act coquettishly: "Husband, our child is hungry."
When Mu Yexiao heard this, he realized that the child was hungry, so he said, "Okay, let's find a restaurant to eat now."
Mu Yexiao had no interest in shopping, but that didn't stop him from going out, so he knew which restaurants in Kyoto had good food.
He brought Qian Jiujiu to a restaurant called Xiang Man Lou: "The food in this restaurant is pretty good, let's eat here."
When Qian Jiujiu heard Mu Yexiao say that the food tasted good, she immediately nodded and said, "Okay."
The two of them walked in with their servants. There happened to be a table on the second floor, so they sat down. Mu Yexiao ordered a few signature dishes and waited for them to be served.
Qian Jiujiu was about to talk to Mu Yexiao, but she heard the people at the next table talking: "Have you heard anything?"
A man who thought his voice was very soft said this, but in fact even the people at the next table heard it. Qian Jia and Mu Yexiao looked at each other. Usually, this kind of situation would lead to gossip.
I just don’t know whose gossip it is. Qian Jiujiu was still thinking about it when he heard the man say, “The third prince is a wife-killer.”
