Rebirth: The flatterer prince I raised couldn't be so clingy

Longqing Street is the most prosperous street in the entire Kyoto city and also the longest street in Kyoto. From south to north, it passes through the imperial city, royal palaces, wealthy families, and ordinary people.

The streets are bustling with traffic, shops are lined up on the street, street vendors are hawking their wares, and pedestrians are shoulder to shoulder, giving the impression of a peaceful and prosperous country.

Seeing Gu Qingzhi was about to step onto the street, Feng Zhanye grabbed her hand and stopped.

"Didn't you say you were only going to watch from a distance? You're lying!"

Gu Qingzhi pointed at the various stalls on the street and pretended to be embarrassed and said, "But if you want to tell the queen something interesting, you should at least go closer to understand it, right?"

Feng Zhanye frowned in confusion, clenched the corner of his clothes, and shook his head.

"No, my evil spirit will affect them."

Gu Qingzhi knew that he was always worried about this matter, and had already thought of an excuse: "How about this, let's make a bet."

"What bet?" Feng Zhanye asked doubtfully.

Gu Qingzhi raised the hand that was holding his wrist and said, "If anyone is going to be affected, I will be affected first. If nothing happens to me when I go out on the street today, you are not allowed to worry about this anymore."

Feng Zhanye really didn't understand why this person liked to risk his life so much. What was wrong with him?

"But have you ever thought about what would happen if something really happened to you?"

"Then you can just change your guard."

He was dismissed with such a light sentence. Although it was quite unreasonable, he couldn't find any other reason to refute it. He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

Gu Qingzhi just thought that he agreed and pulled him forward.

The two men came to the street. Along the way, Feng Zhanye looked around curiously, his head moving around like a rattle.

“Selling sugar paintings! Delicious and fun sugar paintings, sweet to your heart!”

Not far away, there was a stall filled with sugar paintings of various patterns. The vendor was shouting his wares with all his might, his hands never stopping.

Soon a big koi was born in his hands. "Sir, here is your sugar painting."

A little girl about five or six years old with two cute pigtails stood in front of the stall. She stood on tiptoe to take the sugar painting and held the hand of the man next to her. The man picked her up and sat her on his shoulders. The little girl laughed like a silver bell.

Feng Zhanye couldn't take his eyes away, not because he coveted the sugar painting in the little girl's hand, but because the deep love between father and son was something he had never experienced before.

Ever since he could remember, his "father" had always been high above him.

His father despised him, and he could only lie on the ground with his head raised and look up.

He was an emperor respected by everyone and the ruler of the entire Yu State, but no one was willing to be his father.

Gu Qingzhi watched him staring at the sugar painting in the girl's hand, and reached out to hold his hand.

Their palms pressed together, and the warm temperature transmitted along with the soft touch instantly suppressed the sadness that had just overflowed from his heart.

She brought him to the stall, and the fresh smell and sweet scent collided with each other.

"Hey, little brother, would you like to do some sugar painting?"

The vendor was extremely enthusiastic and greeted Gu Qingzhi in a familiar manner when he saw her coming over.

"What kind do you want?" Gu Qingzhi lowered her head and asked Feng Zhanye.

The vendor followed her gaze and looked at the boy. Feng Zhanye was instinctively a little scared, afraid that the man would recognize him.

But the vendor didn't react when he saw him wearing a bamboo hat. Instead, he asked cheerfully, "Kid, what kind do you want? I know many styles!"

"Give him one like the one the little girl just gave him." Gu Qingzhi sensed his nervousness and pointed to the little girl sitting on her father's shoulder to answer for him.

"Okay, sir, please take a look!"

The vendor scooped up the syrup from a large pot nearby and waved it a few times skillfully and delicately.

The amber syrup wrapped in the steaming heat was magically twisted into the right arc, and in a few seconds the prototype of a koi fish appeared.

It was the first time that Feng Zhanye had seen such a painting. He was so engrossed in it for a moment that he felt the gauze in front of him was blocking his vision a little, so he unconsciously lifted a corner of it.

The vendor looked up at him, amused by his actions, then noticed that his face was more beautiful than the woman's.

"Brother, you're right, your brother is so handsome!"

Feng Zhanye came to his senses abruptly upon hearing this and nervously put the veil down, fearing that it would attract other people's attention.

"Hey, you're too shy, kid. I'm praising you."

The hawker was extremely friendly, not at all as sarcastic and mean as those people who were yelling and cursing outside the courtyard. Feng Zhanye also felt that he meant well and that he was being too cautious, so he touched his nose in embarrassment.

Gu Qingzhi didn't focus on talking to the vendor, so she didn't say anything.

She felt a chill down her spine today, and her intuition told her that someone was probably following her from a long distance. It was basically certain that she had been targeted since the moment she stepped into Longqing Street.

But with Feng Zhan Ye by her side, she could only hold back and try to find out what the person following her intended to do.

The vendor can also make great use of the delicate painting. He turns his wrist up and down, and pulls the thin sugar threads into flowing shapes in his hands.

In order to finish the fish scales as quickly as possible, he even put one foot on a stool and shook his body very rhythmically, as if he was about to dance.

Feng Zhanye was also amused by his appearance and curled up the corners of his mouth slightly.

In the last step, the vendor gently placed a bamboo stick on the sugar painting that had not yet completely solidified, and fanned it with a fan in one hand.

After making sure it was solidified, he gently peeled off the paper underneath, and a koi that seemed to be swimming in the air was completed.

"Alright! Here, sir, take it!"

The vendor handed the sugar painting to Gu Qingzhi with a smile, bringing her back to her thoughts.

After saying "thank you", the two of them exchanged money for goods and completed the transaction happily.

"Try it." Gu Qingzhi stuffed the sugar painting into Feng Zhanye's hand as if nothing had happened and continued to lead him forward.

The sugar water that melted in the mouth was so sweet that it made people shiver. Feng Zhanye had a bland taste to begin with, so this thing was indeed not as delicious as he had imagined.

Even so, Feng Zhanye took another bite.

"If you are thirsty, tell me. I brought water."

Gu Qingzhi didn't look back at him, but she could accurately predict his feelings and pointed to the bamboo tube hanging around her waist.

Feng Zhanye sometimes found this very magical. He clearly didn't say anything, but Guard Gu seemed to have the ability to read his mind and guess everything.

He gently bent his fingers and held hers back, and couldn't help but pray secretly in his heart, hoping that the evil spirit would really not corrode him.

The two of them bought things as they walked, and soon Feng Zhanye's hands were full of candied haws, poria cocos cakes, and an exquisite and beautiful fox mask.

Looking at Gu Qingzhi's hands, there were also a bunch of kites, windmills, gyroscopes and other miscellaneous stuff.

"Are you tired? Do you want to find a place to rest?"

Gu Qingzhi felt that the hand she was holding was sweating slightly, and she looked down at Feng Zhanye.

Through the white gauze, I could vaguely see that one of his cheeks was puffed up like a little hamster, and he was chewing half a piece of slightly sweet Poria cocos cake in his mouth. His cheek trembled when he nodded slightly.

It can be seen that this is the snack that suits his taste the most, and it can actually arouse the appetite in his stomach.

Seeing that he had completely gotten rid of his depressed mood, Gu Qingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, feeling fortunate that the money she spent today was not wasted, and that her future boyfriend was very satisfied.

She pulled him away from the bustling Longqing Street, turned into a relatively quiet and wide alley, and found a large rock under a tree for Feng Zhanye to sit down.

This place is not far from Wutong Lane, but there are more people here and it is relatively safe. She wanted to look around to confirm the location of the person who was following her, but she saw the person lurking in the dark walking towards her quickly.

She silently reached out and grasped the Lanzhou at her waist, alert for a sudden attack from the man.

But the man rushed straight towards her, and only turned around to glance at her after knocking her shoulder off balance.

"What are you looking at? How about I bump into you? Come find me at Wutong Lane if you dare!"
