Chapter 347: Small Shoulder Bag on the Street
When the little princess heard Qi Xingyun's question, she immediately stood beside Xiaocao'er, pulled her sleeve, and blinked her big eyes at Xiaocao'er.
Qi Xingyun knew that it was the little princess who wanted to ask him a question. He did not rush her, but sat down, picked up the teacup, drank a sip of tea, and put the teacup down again. When he did not hear the little princess's reply, he looked at Xiao Cao'er, and Xiao Cao'er also looked at him.
Qi Xingyun noticed that every time Xiaocaoer looked at him, her eyes were shining. Thinking of this, Qi Xingyun felt warm in his heart and said softly, "Tell me about it."
"Uncle Royal, I want to go to the street with Aunt Xiaocaoer." The little princess said in a low voice.
"Oh." Qi Xingyun looked at the little princess, then at the eldest prince, "Why do you suddenly want to go out on the street?"
"I haven't been to the street yet. I heard that there are many things for sale on the street. I want to go and have a look." Seeing that the emperor's great uncle did not blame her, the little princess said boldly.
"Jinheng wants to go too?"
"Oh, I heard that the streets are very lively. I have never seen it before. It's a rare opportunity to go out, so I wanted to experience it for myself." The eldest prince replied.
Qi Xingyun pondered for a moment and said, "You can go out on the street, but you need to bring some guards to protect you secretly."
When the little princess heard this, she immediately jumped up with joy and said, "Thank you, uncle." The eldest prince also bowed respectfully to express his gratitude.
After that, Qi Xingyun said, "Yun Yi, go and make arrangements."
When the princes and princesses go out, they certainly cannot just take two guards with them like Old Lady Yang did.
Both visible and hidden guards must be complete and properly arranged before traveling.
Yun Yi went to arrange the guards, and Xiao Caoer said to the people serving the princes and princesses, "Please help your masters pack some things that may be useful."
After that, I went back to the yard where I lived yesterday to pack up my things.
After waiting for about a cup of tea, Yun Yi came to report that everything was arranged and they could set off.
According to Yun Yi's arrangement, the guards coming out of the palace would follow, and the others would stay in the mansion and wait.
A eunuch stepped forward and said, "Lord Yun, I will not go with you. I am afraid that the two masters may not be used to other people."
"Are you following him one by one to tell others from afar that your master is a noble?" Qi Xingyun asked.
"I don't need to serve you. Just listen to my uncle and stay in the mansion and wait." said the eldest prince.
When Xiao Caoer packed up her things and came out, she was holding two small shoulder bags in her hands, which were tent cloth bags she bought from the mall.
There was one for each of the eldest prince and the little princess, with some silver and copper coins inside.
When shopping, the whole thing is about shopping. If you have money in your pocket, just spend it. That’s the fun.
The two little benefactors who received the small shoulder bags couldn't let go of them and immediately put them on their backs.
He even opened it and took out the small change of silver and copper coins to play with. They had never seen it before, and if I hadn't told them, they wouldn't have known that these were small change of silver and copper coins.
Seeing the two of them so happy with their bags on their backs, Old Lady Yang whispered to Xiao Cao'er, "My dear granddaughter, bring more silver with you. If the two of you like something, you must have enough silver to buy it."
Seeing the distressed look on Old Lady Yang's face, Xiao Cao'er said, "I see, Grandma, I brought some silver with me. If it's not enough, just ask the shop staff to come to our house to get it."
"That's okay too."
After everything was ready, we set off.
They only rode in one carriage, the others rode on horses, including Qi Xingyun.
The little princess pulled the eldest prince happily into the carriage. The two leaned their heads against the windows and secretly lifted a corner of the curtain.
Looking at the hustle and bustle of traffic outside, I couldn't help but smile.
Seeing how happy they were, Xiao Caoer asked, "You can read now, right? Have you started writing?"
"Replying to Aunt Xiaocaoer, I have learned to read and started to learn literature." The eldest prince replied.
"In that case, you should watch carefully and observe thoroughly, and then write down what you see and hear and what you think when you come back." Xiao Cao'er said.
"Aunt Xiaocao, do I need to write too?" asked the little princess.
"Of course you should. It's rare for you to get out, so you can write it down or draw it. When you return to the palace, you can share your experience of being out of the palace with your brothers and sisters." Xiao Cao'er said with a smile.
When the two young nobles heard their aunt say that they could share their experience of leaving the palace with their younger brothers and sisters, they readily agreed.
"Aunt Xiaocao, I will buy some fun things for my brothers later." said the little princess.
The eldest prince spoke less, but nodded repeatedly in agreement when he heard his sister's words.
When they reached the main street, which was busy with people, Xiaocao'er and the others got off the carriage and walked slowly.
Various hawking sounds were heard everywhere. The little princess looked around curiously. There were all kinds of novel things on the stalls, and the little princess and the eldest prince couldn't take their eyes off them.
When they came to the candy stall, they couldn't take their eyes off the candy and couldn't even move their feet. Seeing this, Xiao Cao smiled and bought one for each of them.
Then Xiao Caoer asked Old Lady Yang, "Grandma, do you want a sugar man too?"
"You little girl, you only know how to tease your grandma. I'm so old and I'm still eating candy figures. It's so embarrassing if people see me. Besides, my teeth are not good, so I can't eat too many sweets." Old Lady Yang tapped Xiaocao'er's forehead and said.
Xiao Cao'er also carried a bag like the two little nobles, and took out a few copper coins from it and gave them to the stall owner.
"Aunt Xiaocao'er, how much silver does this candy figure cost?" asked the eldest prince.
The stall owner laughed and said, "My dear young man, one sugar figure is ten coins, and three is thirty coins. You don't need to pay silver, just copper coins will do."
After hearing this, the eldest prince wanted to take out copper coins from his small bag to pay, but was stopped by Xiao Cao'er, who said, "Eat first and don't take out the money, so as not to dirty your clothes. You can pay when you buy something later."
