Different from the past, there were countless pedestrians on the streets today. Even the alleys were filled with all kinds of stalls. The flow of people was several times that of the past. The peddlers 'cries, the shopkeepers' greetings, the pedestrians 'laughter, the entire capital seemed to be brimming with vitality. Even under the rule of an unreasonable emperor, there would still be a temporary illusion of prosperity.
The shops on the street were all dressed up, and they were especially enthusiastic when entertaining customers.
However, Lin Yilan wasn't interested in those things. She liked the little things on the stalls.
He touched and looked around, playing with himself.
Huangfu Yifeng, who was following behind her, saw her crescent-shaped eyes and couldn't help but smile. He held her hand and said,""If you like it, buy it back."
Lin Yilan shifted her gaze to Huangfu Yifeng's face with a look of disdain. She earnestly educated this prince who did not know what frugality was."These things look fun now, but if you buy them back, you'll get tired of them after a few days. They have no practical use at all. It's a waste to buy them back. It doesn't conform to the principle of building a resource-saving society.”His eyes rolled around, and he smiled with a flattering expression. He added,"If I like it, you can pay for it.
"You can buy it yourself if you want." Huangfu Yifeng looked at Lin Yilan's dancing hands and laughed as he teased her.
"No! You buy it!" Lin Yilan playfully stuck out her " tongue " and continued to flip through the pages.
His hand seemed to have touched something, and a crisp and pleasant sound was quickly drowned out by the bustling crowd.
Lin Yilan's eyes shone brightly. She took out the junk that she had just thrown to the side and finally took out a string of bells. She shook them at Huangfu Yifeng." Pay up!"”
"This?" Huangfu Yifeng frowned. He wasn't being picky, but he had been living a luxurious life since he was young. He really despised such inferior metal weapons.
"Yes!" Lin Yilan nodded vigorously." Don't have such high expectations! High-end stores did not sell bells like this.”
"What's the practical use of this?”Using Lin Yilan's words to block her, Huangfu Yifeng tried to probe her without leaving a trace.
"Don't you think its voice is very nice?”Lin Yilan shook it again, wanting to confirm if Huangfu Yifeng was suffering from hearing loss and ringing. I shake it when I'm sleepy, I shake it when I'm bored. It may rust, but its voice will always linger in my ears!”This sentence seemed to suggest that it was a horror movie. The implication was that it didn't have any practical use, but it still needed to be packaged on the surface. Suddenly, Lin Yilan had a new understanding of those over-packaged products. The packaging showed that they were guilty. The more beautiful the packaging, the less interesting the content.
Huangfu Yifeng smiled meaningfully at the answer that was equivalent to no answer. Perhaps the only person in the world who would think that the sound of this kind of iron colliding was pleasant to the ears was this person beside him.
After signaling Ying Yun to pay the bill, he shifted his gaze back to Lin Yilan, who was carefully putting the bell on her wrist as if she had just obtained a precious treasure.
The light in his eyes flowed and then disappeared without a trace.
Accompanied by the crisp ringing of the bell, Lin Yilan excitedly pulled her " bank card " and continued her Taobao journey. She insisted on asking Huangfu Yifeng to buy three candied hawthorns.
"Eat it yourself." Huangfu Yifeng's smile did not diminish as he pushed the candied haws back. He had never liked sweet food. He really did not expect the person beside him to like these children's toys so much.
"You don't want it? You said it yourself, there are many witnesses here! Don't regret it later!" Lin Yilan was naturally happy to help him solve it. She could still eat two candied hawthorns.
"Here you go!" Then, she turned to Ying Yun. She wasn't as polite as she was to Huangfu Yifeng. She didn't care about his reaction and directly stuffed a cigarette into his hand.
Ying Yun looked at Lin Yilan in surprise. He didn't expect her to include him in the list. He said awkwardly,""I don't eat sweets either." It was the first time in his life that Ying Yun, who was an assassin, had encountered such an obvious act of goodwill from the opposite sex. He spoke so loudly that even mosquitoes would laugh at him.
After waiting for a long time in the same position as when he had touched the candied haws, Ying Yun raised his head in confusion, his handsome face darkening. The two people in front probably didn't hear him, or they chose to ignore him. They had already gone elsewhere.
Guard Yun had no choice but to catch up to the two of them.
After all, Gu Yin was currently by the king's side and was also a young lady of the king's manor. In order to show respect, Ying Yun held up the candied haws with both hands and said respectfully, Lady Gu, I don't like sweet food."
Lin Yilan, who was enjoying the taste of a pill and looking around for her next target, was a little confused."What does it have to do with me if you don't eat sweets?”
She looked at the scene in front of her with a little confusion. This guard who had always been " cloudy sometimes with showers or even thunderstorms " had suddenly lost his temper or realized that his actions were too inhumane? Why was he holding a stick of candied haws like a bouquet? If he wanted to apologize, he should have brought a bunch of them over, or directly snatched the stick full of candied hawthorns from the peddler. Only then would he be sincere!
"Hmm?" Ying Yun did not react for a moment, staring blankly at the candied hawthorn in his hand. Huangfu Yifeng, who had noticed something, almost laughed out loud. In order not to hurt Ying Yun's self-esteem, he turned his head away and coughed lightly.
Lin Yilan followed Ying Yun's gaze and came to a sudden realization. She patted Ying Yun's shoulder and comforted him with a serious expression,""It's really okay if you don't eat sweets. This isn't your fault. Your natural defects can't be made up for. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame your mother's belly for not living up to expectations and giving birth to a son who doesn't like sweets. Moreover, this is a psychological and not a physiological defect. You must not blame yourself or be afraid of it. Only by facing it bravely can you defeat the candied fruit! Also, this is for Xiao Mo. I just need you to hold it for me. It's good that you don't like sweets. It's very safe.”
After Ying Yun digested Lin Yilan's words, his veins bulged and he almost crushed the candied hawthorn in his hand! F * ck! To think that he was slightly touched just now and reflected on how unfair he had been to her in the past. But now, he had to stand firmly on Uncle Wang's side, expel Gu Yin, and defend the Imperial Residence!
Defeat the candied haws? As the number one guard of King Jing's mansion, how could he be afraid of this round, short, and ugly fruit that had to be strung with a stick?! That damned woman actually said " it is very safe "?! No matter how he looked at this piece of trash, he would not eat it! Only scum would eat it!
Although he would never do anything sneaky, at this moment, he decided to teach her an unforgettable lesson!
Thus, on the busy street, Ying Yun's eyes vigilantly watched Lin Yilan walking in front. Before she turned around, he secretly bit a candied fruit…In the future, every time he recalled this scene, Ying Yun would feel anxious and have the urge to silence Lin Yilan. His heroic reputation was actually ruined by a little girl!
Not noticing Ying Yun's actions behind her, Lin Yilan sighed at how good it was to be rich. She finished the two candied haws in satisfaction and happily pulled Huangfu Yifeng to the next stall.
Unlike other places, this was a corner that was easily overlooked. In front of the peddler was a small bamboo basket. However, Lin Yilan, who was extremely curious, didn't ignore it.
"Eh? What is this ball?" She squatted down and curiously reached out to pick up the white ball from the bamboo basket. She shook it, but the ball suddenly grew a head and was about to bite Lin Yilan's hand.
Huangfu Yifeng quickly grabbed the little fellow's neck and threw it back into the bamboo basket.
Frightened by this, the little thing curled up its body into a ball, trembling. Its big black eyes looked at Huangfu Yifeng with grievance and timidity, and its two furry pointy ears drooped down softly. It was very cute.
"So cute!" Only then did Lin Yilan see that the ball was actually a fox. It was only slightly bigger than an adult's palm when it was curled up. Its entire body was snow-white without a single stray hair. It had large moist eyes, small ears, curled claws, and three tails that were curled up into three furry balls. Each of them was about the same size as its body. If it were to be unfolded, it would probably be twice its body length. This little thing could only be described with three words: Kawaii!
Like all girls, Lin Yilan had no resistance to cute things. She hadn't learned her lesson and was tempted by the " beauty ". She reached out again to touch it. However, the little fellow seemed to still remember the great humiliation of being called a " ball ". When it saw Lin Yilan teasing it again, it immediately widened its eyes in anger. All the fur on its body stood up, and it arched its back as it barked at Lin Yilan. Its two front claws danced wildly in the air, looking as if it was going to kill anyone who came.
Lin Yilan found the little fellow's bluff amusing. She turned her wrist and easily picked up the little fellow's tail, lifting it upside down. The little thing, who had been resisting aggressively, immediately shut up. She was afraid that Lin Yilan would let go of her and her brain would burst open, so she knew what was good for her. She stood up straight and glared at her fiercely.
Lin Yilan's eyes lit up. This three-tailed fox that had lost its tail was quite human. She deliberately shook it in the air and threatened,""If you look at me like that again, I'll pluck your fur and roast you!”
As expected, the fox shivered and immediately looked at her with a pitiful and fawning gaze. As the saying goes, only a man who can adapt to the situation is a real fox. It did not want to be stripped naked. It was too embarrassing!
Lin Yilan was amused. She reached out and touched the little fellow to her heart's content. Then, she looked at Huangfu Yifeng eagerly.
"You like it?" Seeing Lin Yilan and the fox having fun, Huangfu Yifeng had long expected her to look at him expectantly.
"Yes." Lin Yilan nodded hard while the little fox shook her head.
"Didn't you want a dog?" Huangfu Yifeng couldn't help but laugh when he saw Lin Yilan forcing the little fox to nod after she showed it off.
"It's the same for raising foxes. You must have love for disabled animals!”Lin Yilan didn't even raise her head as she began to discipline the fox seriously.
The little thing was furious. It stiffened its neck and refused to let Lin Yilan have her way. It would never break its neck because of these five fingers! He actually dared to curse it to be crippled! Although it couldn't glare at the enemy, it could despise them in its heart!
"Don't be unconvinced. Where did your tail go?”Lin Yilan could tell Little Fox-Eyes 'emotions. She tugged at its three tails." Why won't it fall?”
F * ck! This was a part of its body. It would be strange if it fell! The little fox, who was twisting her butt vigorously in an attempt to save her tail from the demonic claws, cursed in her heart. This damned demoness, when she becomes an immortal one day... That's a little difficult, but when she becomes a demon, she will definitely pick her up and throw her around with great momentum. Then, she will tell her that she was originally a three-tailed fox and that a low-level creature like a tailed fox was not worthy of her!……No, wouldn't she not be able to hear what he said if he knocked her unconscious? Then he should just say it first…
Lin Yilan looked at this little fox who was dancing around in joy thinking about something that she didn't even know if she could achieve in a few thousand years. Suddenly, she revealed a smile that could scare Xiao Mo and Wang Yu. The fox, who did not know that his future was bleak, was still immersed in his lofty ambition of cultivating and taking revenge.
"Master, since Madam likes it so much, you should buy it back!”When the peddler saw that the person was dressed luxuriously and had exquisite decorations, he immediately rubbed his hands and said with a smile. Seeing that Lin Yilan was so fond of this fox, the peddler knew that this business had a chance!
Lin Yilan's face turned red when she was addressed as " Madam ". Huangfu Yifeng only smiled and did not answer. He neither admitted nor denied it. Ying Yun was the one who had an intense reaction. He almost raised his sword and killed this jinx. Was this peddler blind? How was this woman like a princess consort?!
"Yes." Huangfu Yifeng didn't waste time and agreed to buy it.
" This…Master, this is a snow fox from the Western Region. It's smart and intelligent. There aren't many of them, and it's very good at hiding. It's very difficult to catch it. It's very precious…"
"Is it enough?" Huangfu Yifeng was also unwilling to listen to his nonsense and gestured for Ying Yun to hand over a banknote.
The peddler looked at the banknotes in front of him and did not realize how big the amount was. Then, he immediately beamed with joy and took the huge sum of money that he had never touched in his life with trembling hands. He did not expect Huangfu Yifeng to be so generous. Of course it was enough! Hehe! Lord, please take care!" It seemed that his luck today was extremely good. He had met a benefactor and quickly closed his stall to gamble!
