Returning after a three-year escape from death, the tyrant has turned evil.

Chapter 330 Shopping
Xi Chun and Eunuch Cao sat opposite the two men, listening to their conversation, and awkwardly looked away.

The carriage began to sway.

The carriage looked very simple and unassuming; even outside the palace, it wouldn't attract much attention on the street.

Song Yi hummed an off-key tune, casually leaning on Jiang Lanye's shoulder, and looked at Eunuch Cao: "Eunuch Cao, when we go out later, I can't call you Eunuch Cao, can I?"

"Your Majesty is right."

He quickly gave an awkward laugh.

Song Yi sat up straight: "Don't call me Your Majesty."

After thinking for a long time, Eunuch Cao said, "Otherwise, let's just call me Little Cao."

Song Yi's lips twitched slightly, and after struggling to hold it in for a long time, she asked, "Why Xiao Cao?"

"Because this servant is getting older and older, but calling out 'Little Cao' can still bring back the feeling of being young."

Song Yi looked at Jiang Lanye, suppressing a laugh: "What do you think?"

".Can."

Song Yi let out a sigh of relief: "Fine, this time I'll grant you this little wish, Xiao Cao."

The carriage slowly left the palace. Song Yi immediately lifted the curtain and patted Jiang Lanye beside her: "Look, you haven't been to the common people much, have you?"

Jiang Lanye followed her gaze and looked outside.

Zhuque Avenue stretches from south to north, almost traversing the entire capital city. The street is bustling with people, various stalls are crowded together, and there are shouts of vendors and the sounds of people talking everywhere.

Jiang Lanye frowned slightly: "So many people."

Song Yi said excitedly, "This is what makes it lively! If it's deserted, there's no point in going shopping."

Xichun and Eunuch Cao squeezed together at the other window and looked out. "Look, what are they selling over there?"

"I don't know, it's deep-fried, it looks kind of delicious."

"Shall we go buy it later?"

"That mainly depends on His Majesty."

"cough!"

Song Yi coughed loudly and immediately turned to glare at him: "Xiao Cao, this is not right of you. When you're out and about, watch your words."

"It mainly depends on the young master and his wife."

Song Yi smiled slightly: "Don't rush, okay? We need to stop our carriage at the inn first, then put all our luggage in it before we come out for a ride. Otherwise, it's so inconvenient to ride in a carriage. Didn't you see how many people on the street are making our carriage squeeze to both sides?"

Eunuch Cao clasped his hands together and said, "What you say is true, Madam."

The carriage was moving at a slower and slower pace, and the closer it got to the center, the more people there were.

Various fragrances wafted in through the window. Song Yi sniffed hard, then tugged at Jiang Lanye's sleeve and asked, "Did you smell anything particularly fragrant?"

Jiang Lanye has always had a poor appetite, and upon hearing this, he shook his head: "No."

Song Yi glared at him: "I'm warning you, we finally got to come out, you're not allowed to spoil the fun."

Jiang Lanye: "I can smell it."

Song Yi winked at him: "And then?"

"I'll go buy some later, I really want to eat it."

He spoke without any emotion.

Song Yi: "."

After the carriage stopped, the three of them got off first. Song Yi lifted the curtain and saw Jiang Lanye's hand. She smiled and handed it to him, then nimbly jumped down.

Jiang Lanye carried their luggage upstairs.

This inn is the best in the entire capital. The rooms are clean and elegant. The innkeeper looked at the four of them with some curiosity.

After all, staying at this inn for a day is not cheap, and they were staying for several days.

Song Yi pushed open the door and went inside. Looking out from the window, which faced the street and revealed the ginkgo tree in the courtyard, she beckoned Jiang Lanye over to come and see.

"Look, it's so lively at the entrance of this inn. Let's check out these stalls first." Jiang Lanye put down his luggage, walked over, and hugged Song Yi from behind: "So happy?"

His deep voice suddenly rang in Song Yi's ears.

Song Yi tilted her head: "Aren't you happy?"

"Your happiness is my happiness."

"Alright, let's go out. Xichun should be done by now."

After saying that, she turned around, but Jiang Lanye pulled her back.

"doing what?"

Jiang Lanye stared at her intently.

Song Yi chuckled, tiptoed, and gave him a quick kiss: "Is that alright now? Is it done?"

Jiang Lanye snorted coldly before releasing her.

The four left the inn. Eunuch Cao clutched his money bag tightly, fearing that with so many people around, someone might steal it.

Song Yi was like a bird released from its cage, lingering among the various stalls. Standing in front of the jewelry stall, she was overwhelmed by the dazzling array of trinkets on display.

“Young lady, please take a look. These are all handmade by me. Although the designs are simple, they are all very beautiful. A hairpin costs five coins, and these small beaded flowers cost three coins.”

Song Yi reached out and picked it up to take a look, and Jiang Lanye immediately strode after her.

Upon seeing this, the stall owner was slightly taken aback, then immediately changed his tune: "Young master, look at these pieces of jewelry. Your wife is so beautiful; she would look stunning wearing them."

Who are these two people? Their demeanor doesn't suggest they're ordinary people.

Jiang Lanye was satisfied with what the shopkeeper said, and looked at Song Yi, asking in a low voice, "Do you want to buy it?"

"Buy it, it's quite nicely made."

Jiang Lanye nodded and reached out to take out the silver.

Seeing this, Song Yi quickly grabbed his hand: "Wait, I haven't said which ones I want to buy yet."

Jiang Lanye looked at her with a puzzled expression: "Weren't we supposed to buy them all?"

Song Yi was at a loss for words.

The shopkeeper, with his sharp ears, overheard their conversation. His eyes lit up, realizing a wealthy customer had arrived. He quickly said to Jiang Lanye, "Young master, these trinkets aren't worth much. Look at them, aren't they all beautiful? If Madam gets overwhelmed by all the choices, it won't be good. Why don't you buy them all!"

Jiang Lanye thought it made sense and quickly took out a silver ingot.

Song Yi: "."

The shop owner beamed with joy and quickly packed all the trinkets into a wooden box before packing up his stall.

You can go home.

Jiang Lanye held the wooden box and looked at Song Yi seriously: "Let's go."

"You should just buy this much; you have the money."

Song Yi continued walking forward. There were so many people around that it was inevitable that she would bump into them. As Jiang Lanye looked around, she suddenly realized that it was not very convenient for her to carry the box.

So he immediately turned his head, his eyes found Eunuch Cao, and strode over to him, handing it to him.

Eunuch Cao looked delighted: "You bought this for me?"

Jiang Lanye looked at him calmly.

They said nothing, yet it seemed like they said everything.

Eunuch Cao immediately shut his mouth and awkwardly accepted it.

Jiang Lanye immediately caught up with Song Yi and took her hand, saying, "Don't walk so fast, you might get bumped into."

"Okay, hey, what about the things you bought?"

"It's with Xiao Cao."

Hearing Jiang Lanye call him "Little Cao" was inexplicably funny.
