Xie Ning asked softly: "Where are we going?"
The emperor liked it when she said the word "we".
Few people had said "we" to him before, not even the Queen Mother did so when she came to win over him in the room later.
He smiled but said nothing.
Xie Ning muttered in a low voice: "What's the point?"
She turned her head away, but after a while she turned her head again and looked at him secretly.
The emperor is wearing a blue shirt.
Although the material is very good, the blue shirt is just a green shirt.
It has no trimmings or silk embroidery.
It looks like the daily attire that ordinary people wear at home and out.
There is a scholar's scarf tied on the head, and even the corners are just small silver drops.
It was the first time Xie Ning had seen the emperor wearing such shabby clothes, which at best were simple clothes.
It can be seen that the clothes in this outfit are not newly made.
Most of the color of the green shirt has faded, and the style of the headscarf is not the current style.
Xie Ning looked at it and felt that his uncle also had an old hexagonal headscarf like this.
It must be at least ten years old.
"Where did the emperor find this body?"
The emperor said softly: "I wore it before he ascended the throne.
Bai Hongqi is really good at saving things."
Really good at saving things But Xie Ning thought for a moment, suppressed a smile and said, "That's because the emperor is gifted.
He has not gained weight and lost shape over the years.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to wear these clothes."
The emperor looked at her with a half-smile, which made Xie Ning blush and turn away.
They left the palace incognito, and the cars they took were of ordinary standard.
Of course, it was impossible for them to be as smooth as the royal road when the imperial driver was on patrol.
There were so many people on the street that it was blocked at the street entrance.
Ordinary people would be impatient if they were stuck in traffic, but for the eldest prince and Princess Yuyao, even if the car stopped and could not move forward, they kept looking around.
The eldest prince was very sensible and deliberately lowered his voice: "Father, what does that person sell?"
The man he was referring to was carrying a basket covered with a white cloth.
However, the intersection was crowded with people.
This person may be afraid that the basket will be damaged by crowding, or he may be afraid that someone will steal his things in the chaos, so he puts the basket on his head and holds it with one hand.
The emperor doesn't know either, he has to ask people outside.
The ordinary-dressed people in front of and behind their carriage were actually the emperor's bodyguards.
This is of course, incognito is incognito, and you still need to bring enough guards and manpower.
A middle-aged man with a beard went over and asked, then turned back and said, "Master, this man sells sugar cookies."
The emperor asked several people in the car: "Want to try it?"
Xie Ning was a little excited.
It had been a long time since she had eaten anything from outside.
Remember those days?
But after taking a look at the eldest prince, she felt a little worried.
The eldest prince has a weak spleen and stomach.
He usually eats food that is small, warm, soft and light, but he dare not give him anything to eat casually.
Not to mention that other people dare not be negligent.
Even the eldest prince himself does not dare to do so.
Fang Shanggong Not one to be trifled with.

"Just take a bite and taste it, it doesn't matter."
The emperor ordered to go down, and naturally people crowded over to buy sugar cakes.
The sugar cake seller used long bamboo tongs to hold two cakes, wrapped them in clean large reed leaves, and took the money.
The sugar cake was still warm when it was delivered to the car.
Bai Hongqi did not follow him out today.
The guard who handed the sugar cake very conscientiously pinched a piece from the cake and stuffed it into his mouth.
The first time Xie Ning saw the emperor having a meal, he was particularly surprised that someone was trying the food first, but now he is no longer surprised.
The emperor smiled and said: "Why be so careful?"
He took the sugar cake and broke it into pieces, giving each person a small bite.
In fact, the delicious food in the palace is not eaten on the street, but it is just a fresh taste.
The eldest prince and Princess Yuyao each got a small piece, just a small mouthful.
They ate very seriously, and the expressions on their faces clearly showed the thought, "So the sugar cakes outside have this taste."
The car in front moved, and the car they were riding in also began to move forward.
They bought many things along the way.
Some people tie chrysanthemums together, and the big ones are sold as single flowers, while the small ones are sold in twos or three, lined with dark green leaves.
Buyers can plug the flowers into them or use them for other purposes.
Xie Ning and the others bought two handfuls of flowers and pinned them outside the carriage.
It won't work if you put it inside.
The eldest prince is uncomfortable with the scent of flowers.
Chrysanthemums are better.
In fact, the most difficult thing for the eldest prince is to spend spring.
Pollen is flying all over the sky, which can easily cause coughing.
His residence is never scented.
The emperor led them through Chaotianmen Street.
It’s really embarrassing to say that the eldest prince and Princess Yuyao were both born and raised in the capital, but apart from the temple in the palace, they have never seen the first street in the capital, which is known as the Heavenly Street. .
Xie Ning was not any better than the two of them.
When she entered the capital, she used the west rafter gate, and when she entered the palace, she used the north corner gate.
After several years in the capital, this was the first time she came back to this Chaotianmen Street.
The car stopped, and the emperor smiled and said, "Come, let's get out of the car and take a look." what is this place After Xie Ning got out of the car, he lifted up the corner of the curtain and saw the sign of this shop.
"Wangxiang Tower" The emperor held the eldest prince and held the second prince in his arms.
Xie Ning took Princess Yuyao's hand and entered the gate.
The emperor asked her: "Have you heard of this place?"
"I've heard that this teahouse is very famous."
But when she heard about it, she never imagined that one day she would be able to walk into this teahouse.
"Why is this teahouse called this name?"
She asked casually, but for the emperor, nothing seemed to be difficult for him, and he had all kinds of anecdotes at his fingertips.
"The owner of this teahouse, whose surname is Gan, has been in business for three or four generations.
The first teahouse owner, Gan, fled to Beijing alone and earned such a large share of the family business with his bare hands.
But after the teahouse was built, he also collapsed. , the thought of returning home has become a fantasy.”
“That’s why the teahouse is called Wangxianglou” The eldest prince said softly: "Do you mean to warn your descendants not to forget their roots?"
The emperor smiled and praised him: "We Yingyi are really smart."
The eldest prince was embarrassed by the praise.
The teahouse is divided into three floors.
The hall on the first floor is crowded with people.
There is a storyteller in his forties or fifties who is giving a lecture on the stage near the east wall.

What a coincidence, that man was also wearing a green robe, and it had also been washed and faded.
Xie Ning looked at the emperor, then at the lecturer, and followed the emperor up the steps while holding back his laughter.
On the second floor are separate private rooms with different signs hanging on the doors.
There is a Tianzi name and a Dijihao.
The emperor has obviously been here before.
He led them into an elegant room with a Tianzi name.
They were familiar with the familiarity.
The children were very surprised.
Xie Ning was stronger than them.
After all, she has seen the world.
Although Wangxiang Wanglou is famous, the basic style of the teahouse is not much different from what Xie Ning has seen before.
The waiter with a white towel on his shoulders came in with a smile, put down four small plates of fruit, and asked with a smile: "What kind of tea do you want to drink?"
"Here's a pot of Tieguanyin, and two cups of eight-treasure honeydew tea.
Watch out for the snacks."
The waiter smiled and went out, but within a short time the requested refreshments were served, and a table was set up with a dazzling array of dried fruit candied cakes and cakes.
But the eldest prince's attention was not on eating at all.
Princess Yuyao only took a small sip of the eight-treasure honeydew tea and turned her head to the side.
For children who grew up in the palace, this so-called eight-treasure honeydew tea was too sweet, greasy, and thick to be swallowed at all.
There are ground peanuts, sesame seeds, rose osmanthus syrup and other things in it.
It is overly sweet, and there is even a layer of oil floating on the tea soup.
In contrast, it was the lectures downstairs that attracted them more.
The speaker was talking about an old book called Qiu Shan Ji, but it was very exciting, and his voice would change with the appearance of different people, old or young, male or female.
A folding fan and a piece of wood in his hand lift the listener's heartstrings high.
Even though the tea guests all knew what happened, they still looked forward to hearing what he continued to say.
After finishing a paragraph, the waiter came up with a plate to collect the reward money for him.
The emperor explained to the eldest prince: "The lecturer relies on this reward money to make a living, and he also has to share some with the tea house.
After all, the place belongs to the tea house."
The eldest prince asked curiously: "How much will we give out?"
The emperor was very pleased with the eldest prince's question.
He didn't want his son to grow up in a wealthy village and have no idea about economics.
"Generally speaking, it's four or six, but there are also three or seven."
"We need to give out 40%."
The eldest prince is very sensitive to numbers.
"He is the one who can save 40%, and 60% will go to the tea house."
The eldest prince was surprised: "Why?"
Why?
Because the storyteller is alone, and a shop as big as a teahouse is placed here.
If this person refuses, there are others who are willing, and the teahouse has no one to attract business.
"You should think about this slowly when you go back, and talk to me when you figure it out."
The eldest prince responded: "Yes."
Princess Yuyao kept staring at the storyteller's folding fan and awakening wood, looking very curious.
Two very simple props, but in the hands of the storyteller, there are countless changes.
When making a female voice, the face is covered with a folding fan, and the voice is soft and graceful.
When it came to the critical point, Xingmu was heart-wrenching.
Princess Yuyao looked back, then reached for the folding fan that the emperor had placed on the table, and painstakingly peeled off the fan cover.

Xie Ning was afraid that she would spill tea on the fan, so when he was about to untie the fan cover for her, the emperor gently held her hand down.
Princess Yuyao took off the fan cover, opened the fan with a swish sound and covered half of her face, looking at them with big shiny black eyes.
She also held a walnut in her hand and clicked it on the table "cluck" "Sound."
Now everyone in the room saw what she was doing.
The emperor suppressed his laughter and said, "What kind of book is Yuyao trying to tell us?"
The eldest prince wanted to laugh but couldn't help it, so he had to turn his face to the side
