An hour later, a carriage drove out of the imperial palace and stopped at Sunset Street. Two men and women dressed in ordinary clothes, but with an extraordinary bearing, walked out of the carriage. They were the white dragon fish emperor and Grand Princess Yi De.
"In the past few years, I haven't had the chance to go out like this. It's still my big sister's idea."
The Grand Princess Yi De smiled."Everyone says that one should stand too high and watch too far. Sometimes, standing too high, one's eyes are easily obscured by floating clouds. It's better to walk out and take a peek."
After all, for an ordinary woman to be able to lead the entire capital forward was truly shocking, but she also believed in the Emperor's perspective. For him to reach his current level, he definitely would not ruin a great opportunity because of suspicion. The man selling tea was a lame old man. There were many people sitting at the tea stand, and some guests, seeing that the old man was busy, picked up a bowl and went forward to pour tea. Their voices were especially loud: "Hey, Uncle Xu.
"How come the tea is so much better than usual?"
The crippled old man turned around with a simple smile."How is tea good? You're in a good mood. Even if I were to bring you a bowl of cold water, you would feel that it's warm and sweet." Someone at the side mocked loudly, "Isn't it so? Old Li's wife is famous for her ingenuity, and my daughter is also good at embroidery. Now that she has the chance to get the embroidery needle skill taught by the New Cloud Market, she will definitely be chosen in the future.
There are also many embroidery villas fighting for more people. In the future, Old Li will no longer have to worry about food and drinks."
The middle-aged man who was addressed as Old Li laughed out loud, "To say that he was a wise man, allowing Miss Mu to teach him embroidery, I have to kowtow in the direction of the palace every day. May he live long enough, we commoners will live for tens of thousands of years!"
"Isn't that so? For the past two days, someone has been burning incense in front of the gates of the Nebula Market in order to get some of the spiritual energy within it to pay tribute to the imperial edict."
"In other words, the palace gates are heavily guarded, otherwise there would have been people coming to burn incense in front of the palace gates."
"I also heard that someone wanted to send something to the emperor, but the emperor is the son of the true dragon and lives in the imperial palace's Dragon City. The water he drank was all nectar and jadeite, so whatever we sent over, the emperor's dragon beak would definitely not be used to it."
"Who said that the emperor also eats five grains and miscellaneous grains? Before, doesn't the emperor always have to plow the fields in the spring?" "Maybe it's something you grow yourself?" The more he spoke, the more biased his speech became. Some people said that the food cultivated by the Emperor in the spring must have been golden in color, and that the ears of wheat planted there were all over a foot long. Some people even said that the Emperor used a golden plow to plow the lands under the Emperor's feet while he used a qilin beast to plow the land under the Emperor's control. He planted wheat on the same day and sprouted, grew seedlings on the same day and smoked the plow for three days ...
5 days' harvest ...
Princess Yi De, who was listening at the side, couldn't help but laugh."It's actually the first day I heard that the Emperor actually used the qilin beast to pull a plow ..."
The emperor also felt that the situation was particularly interesting, and he pulled Princess Wade to a nearby chair and sat her down.
The few men who had been talking animatedly, upon seeing the extraordinary bearing of the Emperor and the Eldest Princess Yi De, could not help but say in a weak voice, "My lord, my lady, did we disturb the two of you?"
The Emperor shook his head and smiled."We came to visit relatives in the capital, so we don't know much about the affairs of the capital. Hearing your interesting words, we sat down to listen."
"Have you just arrived?"
"Yes, I've only been in the capital for two days."
"That's truly a pity. If you had come a few days earlier, you would have seen the grand opening of the Rainbow Cloud Workshop. That Fairy Rainbow was truly beautiful. Her dancing style is truly stunning."
"Yeah, yeah..."
The crippled old man carefully cleaned the bowl and brought two bowls of hot tea over."Please have some tea."
The emperor nodded. Seeing the old man's nervous expression, he could not help but ask, "The old man's legs are inconvenient, why is he still out to set up the tea stand?" The old man laughed in an exceptionally simple and honest manner."It's just that I'm a little lame when walking, so it's not too much of a problem." Just as they were talking, a water wheel came with water. The old man's smile became even more brilliant as he quickly went up to greet them. His legs were inconvenient, so he arranged people to bring water and firewood to him. This was extremely good!
Seeing that the old man had gone to fetch the water, the man beside him said to the emperor in a low voice, "Old man Xu's life is miserable. His family has been gone for many years, his daughter has been married for a long time, and he lost her time during childbirth. His son's health is not good, and he is now bedridden.
I don't have any hopes anymore. Luckily, I met the kind-hearted Miss Mu. She started the Not Envy Pavilion and set up a lot of tea stalls. When she heard about Old Xu's matter, she took the initiative to ask him to guard the stalls.
"Miss Mu is such a merciful person."
"Yes, your majesty. I heard that your majesty rewarded Miss Mu for this matter. How wise!"
"That's true. The tags for the Nebula Market and the Nongfu Restaurant were both given to her by the Emperor. His Majesty used the Dragon Eye, so he must have known that Miss Mu was kind. That's why he gave her the tokens and asked her to set up the Nebula Market and the Nongfu Restaurant to help more people."
"Did you hear? The workers at the dock have already increased their wages, so you can earn around 20 cents a day now."
"Didn't it just rise a few days ago? Why did it increase again now? "
"Isn't this the start of Envy Pavilion? A lot of tea merchants came, and I heard that they specialize in shipping water. In any case, there are too many boats coming and going, and even the workers on the dock don't have enough. Isn't that just raising the wages?"
"That's great!"
"That's right, that's great ..." After saying that, they actually felt sad in their hearts, especially Old Man Xu who nodded empathically after hearing those words, "People have to be a bit reckless when they're still alive. We passed each day before, but we felt that we were living a tough life.
Yet, at this moment, I feel much more alive and happy despite being exhausted. This is truly great..."
"Isn't that so? "Right now, I am looking forward to the Nebula Market teaching embroidery. If you don't envy me, then open a few more stores. I heard that when Miss Mu was in Ziling City, the smell of porridge was so fragrant that you could make people swallow their tongues. I wonder if Miss Mu would hold more porridge this year?" It shouldn't be this year. Miss Mu has just started the Neon Clouds Workshop and the No Envy Pavilion, so she needs to spend quite a bit of money. Don't underestimate the size of these two businesses; it's not easy to earn money. A few days ago, someone came and went through the Neon Cloud Workshop and saw Miss Mu sitting there while holding an embroidery stand for embroidery.
Every single movement of his would last for more than two hours. It's said that even his finger is swollen..."
"Aiyo, Miss Mu is still young, isn't she? It's not easy to reach such a young age."
"That's right, she's not even as old as my daughter, and her life is not as peaceful as mine. She was almost beaten to death by Madam Snake Scorpion earlier. Fortunately, Mister Shen went there in time."
This year's New Year is quite good. We can also learn to collect a little food from each family, just like in Ziling City. At that time, we can have Miss Mu give us some pointers and boil it into a delicious porridge. Listening to the chatter of the people around him, the emperor's eyebrows creased. Only when Grand Princess Yi De reminded him did he put down the tea money and leave the tea shop, continuing to walk forward. However, his thoughts were extremely complicated.
