The emperor sighed and said, "When we were in the palace, Xian'er and I did the same thing, sometimes going out to eat some street food. Now it has been so long."

Ruyi's round face was staring at the pastry shop not far away. Her face was full and fat was evenly distributed on her face. The slightly raised corners of her mouth made her cheeks look more bulging.

The lanterns reflected Ruyi's yellowish face, and her face was covered with a light, oily plumpness. There was no need to look for the most exquisite pastries, Ruyi was the most exquisite and delicious pastry here.

Ruyi led the people to the front of the stall, and the vendor immediately began to shout, "Sir, please try our rice cake."

Ruyi instantly became confident and explained to the others, "Yes, this is Tiaotougao."

"I ate it when I was a child." Ruyi said lightly, "The bean paste here is sweet and delicate." There was a hint of pride in her voice.

Ruyi is always so smart, knows a lot, and often helps everyone solve their problems.

While she was talking, the vendor had already swiftly placed the rice cake on a lotus leaf and handed it to the emperor, saying, "Try it."

Ruyi stood on tiptoe and swayed her body slightly in a lively manner. She looked a little expectant and shy. Her lips were pursed, and the cute baby fat on her cheeks revealed a perfect curve.

Ruyi looked at the rice cake in the emperor's hand with a smile, staring at it intently, then bent down slightly and put her cheek close to the emperor.

Jinzhong and Jinbao stood guard nearby, alert to whether anyone around was trying to harm the emperor.

The emperor glanced at Ruyi, and Ruyi also looked at the emperor expectantly, and then both of them stared at the rice cake in the emperor's hand.

The emperor carefully picked up the rice cake with chopsticks and said gently, "Here."

Ruyi couldn't hide the pride on her face. She didn't let herself smile too brightly. Instead, she pursed her lips into a small knot and looked at the emperor with satisfaction.

The emperor brought the chopsticks to his mouth, and Ruyi's expression was slightly frozen.

She thought, could it be that the emperor was afraid that the rice cake would burn her, so he wanted to blow on it? The emperor was really considerate.

But the rice cake was already placed in the open air, so it wouldn't be hot. The emperor must be too concerned...

The emperor didn't know that Xian'er had thought so much in her mind. He chuckled, put the cake into his mouth, took a bite, savored it carefully, and then commented, "Not bad."

Then he turned to look at Ruyi who was looking at him eagerly, and said to her, "It's just a little sticky."

“But the taste is not worse than... the one at home.” The emperor said with a smile.

Then he picked up the chopsticks, took a bite of the rice cake and fed it to Ruyi. Ruyi had been staring at the rice cake, and now she finally got to eat it.

She just felt that this one bite, the taste of the red bean paste inside was sweeter than honey.

The vendor said hurriedly, "I steamed the red beans, peeled them, and then filtered them three times with a fine mesh."

The vendor raised his eyebrows and boasted, "Even the emperor praised my cake."

Ruyi and the emperor smiled at each other, and then Ruyi tilted her head and asked innocently,

"Really?"

"The emperor has also eaten it?" The curiosity on her face could not be faked.

The peddler didn't laugh. He glanced at Ruyi, then at the emperor, thinking to himself that the ugly concubine next to this handsome master seemed to be used to acting coquettishly and foolishly. She was so grown up, but she still "da da" like a five-year-old child.

one's man meat is another man's poison.

This gentleman is handsome, and perhaps he has seen beauty in the mirror often, so he may like such a stupid woman.

What is this... unique!

But even though he grumbled, the vendor still had to do business, so he forced himself to smile and nodded, saying, "Of course not."

"Your Majesty, every year you send people to buy them and bring them back to the palace."

The emperor and Ruyi smiled at each other again. This peddler, boasting about his products, was really interesting.

The emperor said, "Then give us more."

The emperor looked at the rice cakes on the stall and said, "Pack more and bring some for Madam, Shu'er, Ling'er, and Jia'er."

The peddler was quickly pretending to be well-dressed while being shocked at how romantic this old man was. With so many ladies and concubines in his family, how could he not be able to compete with the one in front of him?

It's so scary.

Ruyi originally thought that there were only the emperor and her here, but she didn't expect that those people in the palace would jump out to make trouble. The emperor was really amorous.

The vendor was so excited that he didn't pronounce the second word correctly, and pronounced it as "tiao tougao", which became "tiao tao gao".

The emperor was thinking about someone else, and the vendor's words seemed to be deliberately mocking her.

A steal?

Stealing?

So far away, so secretly. So far away, so secretly.

She came all the way to Jiangnan to steal the opportunity for Langya to go out with the emperor. She stole the opportunity, but she couldn't steal the emperor's thoughts, because the emperor was still thinking about Fucha.

Ruyi's face flushed, and she felt uncomfortable. She immediately refused, "I don't want this."

She tugged at the emperor's sleeve and begged, "Master, let's go and see that." Then she pulled the man away.

Jinzhong ignored Concubine Xian's words. He thought that the emperor had said to bring some, and Yan Wan had never eaten it before, so he had to bring more. He hurried over and said, "We want all the rice cakes on your stall."

Jinbao took out a bag of money from his pocket and waited to pay.

The vendor nodded, and said, "I know, I know. We can't be partial to one and treat the other the same, right?"

Jinzhong smiled helplessly. That was true. If he bought more and brought them back, the emperor would probably give some to all the favored concubines in the palace. He smiled and said, "You also heard the names our master was reading. Those are the master's wives and concubines, so we have to take good care of them."

The vendor quickly packed up all the rice cakes and handed them to Jinzhong. Then he looked at the housekeeper in front of him, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

Jinzhong raised an eyebrow and looked at him, then asked, "What's wrong?"

The peddler looked at Ruyi pulling the emperor away, and thought to himself, I wonder what this is.

He covered his lips with the back of his hand, then lowered his voice and asked, "With so many concubines, why does your master only wear this one? Is this the best looking one?"

Jinbao was a more old-fashioned man. He wouldn't make such a joke and just stood aside waiting to pay.

Jinzhong smiled slightly and explained sincerely, "Of course not, the one in the master's mouth is the most beautiful."

The peddler became curious and asked, "Why did you bring this concubine out?"

A light bulb suddenly lit up in his head as he suddenly thought of the answer, and he immediately affirmed, "It must be because of her delicate and stubborn personality. As the saying goes, the crying child gets the candy." The peddler clicked his tongue, feeling a little unfair for the butler's mention of Xu'er.
