Chapter 118 I am your man, so I have the obligation to protect you
Both of them wore casual clothes when they left the palace.
In order to match Yinzhen's moon-white robe, Xiyu specially chose a piece of clothing with a similar color, which was a fresh and elegant sky blue.
Well Sky Blue - the blue of clouds at the bottom of the well. This unique color seems to contain a sense of depth and tranquility like the clouds at the bottom of the well.
The two colors complement each other harmoniously and they look like a pair at first glance. This was said by the embroiderer who helped her prepare the clothes.
The two of them walked in the market, as leisurely and carefree as an ordinary couple.
For safety reasons, he was followed by several secretive men.
"Master, this way."
Xiyu couldn't wait any longer, and walked briskly in front, looking back from time to time and smiling at the man following behind her.
The detail is that no matter where she went, Yinzhen would always be one step behind her, preventing her from being bumped by passers-by and helping her get things in time.
Xiyu stopped at a stall, holding a small bamboo box with two round cakes in it and one in her mouth.
"The cloud cakes here are really delicious, soft, glutinous and sweet. The soft feeling in your mouth is just like the clouds in the sky."
Seeing her squinting her eyes while eating, Yinzhen actually felt a little hungry. He raised his hand to reach for the two pieces of cakes. They were so close to him, but suddenly moved away.
Yinzhen raised his eyes and saw that the other party was protecting the cloud cake in his hand with a vigilant look on his face. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes and he raised his eyebrows.
"Yaoyao, what does this mean?"
Ever since leaving the private residence, he has been calling her by her nickname.
Xiyu felt a little guilty about her subconscious food protection behavior. She gave the man a sweet smile with a shallow dimple.
She swallowed the milky white pastry in her mouth, then took a step forward and handed over the small box in her hand.
"I just tested the poison for you. Now you can rest assured that this cake is not poisonous. Please eat it."
This reason sounds very plausible.
Yinzhen did not expose her. His eyes fell on the white and soft cloud cake, and then he looked at the white powder on Xiyu's fingers, feeling a little hesitant.
Seeing that the other party did not move, Xiyu thought that the other party was angry about what happened just now, so he pushed the small box forward again, with expectation in his eyes and used words to seduce him.
“It’s really delicious.”
"Eating this will dirty your hands."
Yinzhen held a folding fan in his hand and looked away with disgust.
It looks like a proud big cat, which is actually quite cute in contrast.
A hint of understanding flashed across Xiyu's eyes, and then a doting smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
She reached into the small box and gently picked up a piece, then passed it to the other person's mouth, "This way you won't get your hands dirty."
Yinzhen lowered his eyes and took a look, a very subtle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, then he opened his thin lips and bit the soft white thing.
The cloud cake is very small and can be eaten in one bite.
He held the whole thing in his mouth; even the tips of Concubine Xiao's fingers were not spared and were bitten by his teeth. The tip of his tongue naturally moved up to adjust the position of the cloud cake in his mouth, scraping against the tips of Concubine Xiao's fingers, giving them a wet touch.
She subconsciously withdrew her hand, stood there holding the small box in both hands, and a blush unconsciously appeared on her cheeks.
This cloud cake tastes really good, but it's too sweet, just like Xiao Fujin, very greasy, but also... very tempting, making people want to taste it.
Thinking of this, Yinzhen hooked her neck with one hand and pulled her back, leaned closer, put his lips on the little concubine's ear, and slowly opened his lips.
"You are my wife, not a poison testing eunuch, so there is no need for you to test the poison. Whether now or in the future, hide behind me when there is danger. I am your man, so I have the obligation to protect you."
Yinzhen rarely spoke such a long speech.
His breath was warm, gently brushing against her earlobe, and without warning penetrated into her heart, bringing nourishment to the love that had taken root.
Xiyu's light brown eyes trembled slightly.
It was just an excuse, but he answered so seriously.
There was some white powder on Yinzhen's lips. He subconsciously licked them with his tongue, and his lips became crystal clear and translucent.
Xiyu stared at that place intently, thinking of the touch just now, and walked forward awkwardly.
“That looks delicious, too.”
The awkwardness was obvious, and Yinzhen couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips and followed.
She walked to another stall and ordered a serving of pan-fried pork buns.
These buns were completely different from the ones he usually ate in the palace. Each one was only the size of a thumb, and the outer skin was as thin as paper, through which he could vaguely see the dark meat filling inside.
The whole stall was filled with the aroma of sizzling oil, which was the smell she smelled in the carriage.
"Sometimes the chefs in the palace should really go out of the palace and learn from the chefs outside."
Xiyu leaned close to Yinzhen's ear and complained in a low voice.
The owner of the stall was very quick and packed up the food in just a moment.
She took it happily, and immediately handed the box of cloud cake to Yinzhen, and happily ate the fried meat buns.
Yinzhen frowned as he looked at the cloud cake in his hand, picked it up and stuffed it into his mouth. Then he threw the box that was in the way into the bucket on the side, wiped his fingers with a handkerchief, and followed with big strides.
This person doesn't look like the kind of person who was just complaining about having dirty hands.
However, Xiyu was so attracted by the market in front of her that she was dazzled and didn't notice any of this.
She had been in poor health since childhood and seldom went out. Even when she went out, she could only stay in places with few people most of the time and rarely got off the carriage. Naturally, she had never been exposed to these things.
Everything seemed new to her.
She had a small appetite. When she first saw new food, she would eat a few more bites. But later on, she would just take one bite and stuff it into Yinzhen's hand. Anyway, it would always be eaten up before she stuffed it with food next time.
Fortunately, she ate very little, even if she only took a bite to taste it, she would be full soon.
Yinzhen held the last empty box in his hand and looked at her back with lingering fear.
Fortunately, I went there for something new.
It is said that women are born shopping saints. After shopping along this street, Yinzhen had a lot of bags in his hands, and even the entourage behind him were not spared.
"Tired?"
After leaving the market and returning to the carriage, Yinzhen placed his right hand on her back, then moved it down a few inches to support her waist.
The book says that women during pregnancy often suffer from back pain.
"Fortunately."
Xiyu answered, fanning herself gently with a round fan in her hand. The breeze brushed across her fair face and lifted the fine hair on her forehead.
Calculating the time, Yinzhen saw that she was in high spirits, with a gleam in her eyes, and knew that she was not tired yet.
He knocked on the car door gently and said, "Go to the Treasure Pavilion."
"Yes."
The carriage was driving on the flat blue brick road, and the wheels made a steady creaking sound as they rubbed against the stone pavement.
As the carriage bumped, the bells on the carriage rang from time to time, the sunlight shone through the treetops onto the carriage, and the embroidered curtains on the carriage swayed gently.
It seems that when you are in a good mood, every place is a beautiful place.
Xiyu looked out the window quietly. After leaving the Forbidden City, everything was new.
