Chapter 1236 The Dark Side

Therefore, Shen Wuhua's fair skin is not unreasonable even without makeup.

Especially since she had been holding back in the palace for so long, she was even better than Bu Lechang in terms of the amount of sun exposure, and her skin was a bit whiter. However, a woman likes her appearance, and now she has skin-to-skin contact with Li Xingchen. Naturally, I need to freshen up and dress myself up.

Li Xingchen had already changed her clothes and reached out to hold up her hair.

"Your Majesty, can you comb your hair?" Shen Wuhua was a little surprised.

"Can't you?" Li Xingchen smiled.

Of course, Shen Wuhua didn't know that Xiao Xiang liked to pester Li Xingchen to help him with "mirror decals". Although Li Xingchen didn't come from a decent background, he still knew how to do this.

It is already very happy for a woman to see her beloved, who is still a majestic emperor, help her wash herself without any pretense.

But Shen Wuhua soon noticed something. The hairstyle Li Xingchen gave her was not a woman's hairstyle, but a masculine bun.

"Your Majesty, this?"

Li Xingchen asked the maid to bring over a set of prepared clothes: "I plan to go for a walk today, and of course I will go with you."

Shen Wuhua looked at Li Xingchen in astonishment.

Take to the streets?

For her who has been living in seclusion in the palace for ten years, it is indeed an elusive concept that is far away. Li Xingchen helped her stand up and said with a smile: "We have to wrap up our two little darlings. , otherwise it would be too abrupt. If you don’t change into men’s clothes, some things will be inconvenient.”

Shen Wuhua didn't know what was going on. She didn't know what it meant until Li Xingchen took action. She watched with a blush as Li Xingchen packed it up for her and then put on her clothes.

As a queen, Shen Wuhua still had the right to be served by others, but she never thought that one day her beloved would serve her like this.

Li Xingchen gently shook her hand: "Let's go."

Although Huainan is desolate, this desolation refers to most of the land in Huainan. No matter how desolate the place is, there are still a few places where humans gather and live. Guangling County should be regarded as a rare prosperous place. After all, it is still close to Jiangnan. of.

Otherwise, historically, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty would not have chosen Guangling County as his actual capital in the later period.

Spring plowing is about to begin in two days, and the streets are extremely lively today because most young people have been working as part-time workers in the city and on the docks for so long and have some spare money in their hands, so they all hope to take advantage of this opportunity. Buy some things to take home to honor your parents or amuse your children. Naturally, the merchants will not ignore this opportunity. The shops on both sides of the street have opened early, and many shopkeepers have rolled up their sleeves and come out to shout in person, making the city look more beautiful. It was so lively that it was probably rare to see such a scene even before the Chinese New Year.

Shen Wuhua had grown up in an aristocratic family and had been in a deep palace for so long. She was already very unfamiliar with this kind of market atmosphere. When she saw the dazzling array of goods, she could hardly move her eyes away. But Li Xingchen only walked slightly beside her. In the rear area, she could see whatever she wanted and buy whatever she wanted. Anyway, Li Xingchen was followed by Li Pingping's bodyguards. Although there were not many of them, the bags were enough.

"Does this look good?" Shen Wuhua held up a wooden sign. It was actually a sign for praying, with Buddha statues engraved on it. For her, who believes in Buddhism, these are naturally more likely to attract attention, and more importantly, Most similar things in the palace were made of gold and silver, and she had never seen anything made of wood.

"Do you want to?" Li Xingchen did not say that this thing is common in the market.

"Is it okay?" Shen Wuhua asked.

"Shopkeeper, what other styles do you have here?" Li Xingchen asked with a smile.

The shopkeeper saw that the young man was dressed like a young man from a rich family. Although the smaller one next to him was dressed in men's clothing, but just looking at his figure and delicate face, he most likely belonged to the family, but the shopkeeper was also very smart. Not saying anything, he just hurriedly brought some carefully carved wooden signs: "Two gentlemen, please look, these are good things. They are all hand-carved by master craftsmen. Come and see this, this The best quality is made of yellow pear wood from Zhuya in the south."

"It tastes so good." Shen Wuhua sniffed it gently, then turned his head and looked at Li Xingchen eagerly.

"How much?" Li Xingchen asked.

"Sir, this is exactly one tael of silver," the shopkeeper said hurriedly, "the price is fair, and you can't be bullied!"

Shen Wuhua was startled for a moment and tugged at Li Xingchen's sleeve: "Is it so expensive?"

She had lived in fine clothing and fine food since she was a child, and had never bought anything by herself. Naturally, she did not know that firewood, rice, oil, and salt were expensive. Li Xingchen talked with the shopkeeper about the price, and readily gave the money to him, and waited for the shopkeeper to turn around and take the money. When wrapping the wooden sign, Li Xingchen lowered his voice and said: "The world has been in trouble for so long, and the people don't know how to feed themselves. Naturally, there are very few people who can buy these things, so it is reasonable for the price to be higher."

Before Li Xingchen could finish speaking, a loud voice suddenly came from the crowd behind him.

Li Xingchen looked back suddenly. It was probably that there was a dispute between two groups of people. On one side were a few young people in rich clothes, and on the other side was an old man being supported by three or four children. He could still faintly hear the abuse of those young people. Voice.

The shopkeeper next to me couldn't help but sigh: "It's these guys again."

"Oh?" Li Xingchen raised his eyebrows, "Does the shopkeeper know them?"

"These guys are all children of wealthy businessmen. You can tell by looking at their clothes, sir. Since many of the shops on the street are owned by them, they really think that they are the tyrants on this street." The shopkeeper shook his head. He shook his head and said, "I don't know how the old man provoked these guys."

"Don't the government care?" Li Xingchen's voice became colder.

The shopkeeper spread his hands and said: "Sir, you must be here for the first time. Now the government is busy dealing with spring plowing matters. Who has the leisure to care about this? What's more, even if the bullied person really goes to the government, let alone Saying that these wealthy families can calm down their anger by giving money to those who are being beaten, not to mention that the government and these wealthy families are bound to have a relationship, who knows if they will protect each other."

"How could this be?" Shen Wuhua frowned slightly and looked at Li Xingchen.

The shopkeeper seemed to feel that the young man in front of him had bought something of his own, and he couldn't let him get into trouble, so he advised again: "Sir, I would like to advise you, just take a look at it, but don't worry." Don't go up there, it will cause trouble that won't be easy to solve."

Shaking his head, the shopkeeper sighed: "In this world, something like this happens every day, so it's pretty good. It's much better than in previous years."

The crowd in front dispersed, and several servants got the order and rushed out to beat people.
