The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

The official road was washed by heavy rain, and every leaf was washed green and shiny. The road was wet, and the carriage moved slowly.

Shi Anxia was still feeling a little sad at this moment.

This was the first time she felt wronged since her rebirth.

She has done so many things to change people's fate. As long as the other party is willing to listen to her, she is willing to help others without asking for anything in return.

She can just laugh it off as other people's choices make.

For example, Shi Anxin, although she was the daughter of her uncle, she had a feud with him for various reasons, so she let go of him without feeling any apology or regret.

Respecting the fate of others is also a blessing for yourself.

Only Emperor Mingde was her wholehearted love. She wished she could open her red heart to Beiyi and show it to him, so that he would know how deeply she loved Beiyi.

Along the way, Emperor Mingde also behaved very wisely and trusted her wholeheartedly.

Because of this trust, she feels everything she does is worth it.

Who would have thought that when the task was almost completed, Emperor Mingde began to suspect her.

How could this not make her feel aggrieved?

Seeing the little girl pouting, Cen Yuan couldn't help but laugh. She reached out and held her little head in her arms, saying softly, "I think this is a good thing. Just think about it, Emperor Mingde looks like a human being now."

Little girl: "???"

Didn't he look like a human being originally?

As if responding to her inner doubts, he smiled and said, "He is so perfect that he really doesn't look like a human anymore. He is kind, generous, restrained, listens to advice, and is wholeheartedly concerned about the people... Is he a human? He is a Buddha."

The little girl was finally amused and laughed, "Don't say that to Emperor De. How come the originally good words have completely changed their meaning when they come into your mouth?"

"I've been very polite." Cen Yuan was relieved when she saw the little girl smile. "I felt earlier that this emperor was too easy to control. There is a saying that goes, 'I won't allow others to snore beside my bed.' If an emperor doesn't even have the slightest suspicion, how can he be considered a real emperor?"

Shi Anxia's grievance was half relieved.

Yes, what if someone else made up such a "dream" lie and told it to Emperor Mingde?

If they were actually the Empress Dowager's people and used such a set of words to deceive him, and he just jumped in, could he be considered a good emperor?

Then I heard Cen Yuan say, "I tried to test him earlier. I said that at least three of the Western Shadow Guards were my people. Look at what he did? He didn't ask me which three they were, nor did he replace the Western Shadow Guards. He still used them very smoothly. I said that there were at least twelve people in the Western Shadow Guards. In other words, it is possible that half of them were my people. As an emperor, shouldn't he be afraid?"

Shi Anxia stepped out of Cen Yuan's arms, sat up straight and looked at him, "Is it possible that Emperor Mingde actually has other preparations, such as those of the Eastern Shadow Guard and the Southern Shadow Guard?"

"Impossible." Cen Yuan answered affirmatively, "I'm afraid I know the people around him better than he does. Nothing he does can be hidden from me. Although my goal has always been to prevent someone from poisoning him, he didn't notice it at all, which only shows that the people around him are like a sieve, full of loopholes."

Speaking of this, Shi Anxia did have to say a few words for Emperor Mingde, "He was trying to save money. Which emperor only had a few dishes for dinner? He died early in his previous life because of these things. He didn't want to spend a lot of money on secret guards. He would rather... Alas."

"That's true." Cen Yuan said seriously, "But no matter what position you are in, you must have awe and a clear understanding of that position. As a king, it is not excessive to spend any amount of money on your own safety. Because only by staying alive can you make more achievements and benefit the people. Otherwise, what's the point of just saying 'I can't afford to die'?"

"So you think he was right to doubt us?"

"I think he should first doubt, then judge. He shouldn't just listen to whatever we say. That's what a king should do."

If one makes wrong judgments when in doubt, it means that he lacks ability; if one can make correct judgments after doubting and have his own unique ideas, he will be a qualified emperor.

Otherwise, if they could protect him once, could they protect him a second time?

"Oh..." Shi Anxia felt relieved, and all the grievances in her heart disappeared.

"Don't sigh. If you have time to care about Emperor Mingde, you might as well care about me more."

"Hey, what do I care about you?"

"I'm hungry." Cen Yuan was very happy, without any trepidation or fear after being suspected by the emperor. "Xia Xia, you have to accompany me to eat dumplings."

"Going to that place again? If you want to eat open-mouthed dumplings, you might as well go home and eat the open-mouthed dumplings that A Niang asked Mulan and the others to make."

"How can it be the same?" He hugged her tightly and asked the driver to change the route to the night market.

A man must be able to comfort himself. Just like him, if he was still immersed in the past life when she betrayed him, and was still obsessed with hatred, how could he have such a beautiful woman in his arms today?

He took her hand and got off the carriage, and they strolled around the night market like an ordinary couple, buying this and that.

There are crowds of people and the lights are bright.

Cen Yuan asked, "Bao'er, do you remember that I bought two masks on the Lantern Festival?"

"Remember, an old woman and an old man."

"what does that mean?"

"I'll grow old with you."

"So you know." Cen Yuan suddenly became interested and took her to the stall that was drawing sugar figures. "Uncle, draw me an old woman and an old man."

As he spoke, he used water to draw the image of an old woman on the table. She had drooping eyebrows and eyes, a flat mouth, and a kind and peaceful smile.

"Okay!" The old man selling candy figures first smeared some cooking oil on the stone plate, then used a copper spoon to scoop sticky sugar from the pot and drew it according to the appearance of the old woman.

Then use a reed stick to dip some sugar in the pot and stick it on the sugar figure, and then use hot sugar to reinforce it. When the sugar figure is dried, use a small flat shovel to slightly move the lower jaw of the sugar figure, and the whole sugar painting will be separated from the stone slab.

Cen Yuan reached out to take the sugar figure and handed it to Shi Anxia, ​​and then drew the shape of an old man.

The boss did the same.

Cen Yuan took the candy figure of the old woman, and Shi Anxia took the candy figure of the old man.

He knew that two sugar figures and a few coins would be enough to make her smile.

Shi Anxia stared at it for a long time, unable to eat it, "Where can I eat this?"

Cen Yuan pointed at his beard and said, "From here..."

Shi Anxia bit down with one bite, his eyebrows curved, "Ha, the beard is gone. Then bite the hair."

"Okay." Cen Yuan ate a piece of the old woman's sugar figurine's hair.

……

On this side, Emperor Mingde asked, "What did you say? Eating candy people?"

He is so sad, are these two eating candy?

You really don't take him seriously! You bastard!

Emperor Mingde was very angry and called all the Western Shadow Guards over. "Who among you is the Prince Consort's man? Come out!"
