Only after unifying the world did I realize that immortals existed in this world.

Today is a beautiful day, with bright sunshine and not a cloud in the sky.

The people of Beijing remained as quiet and harmonious as ever.

Immortals, the imperial court, the emperor… these things, though they were constantly discussing them, seemed far removed from their own lives.

No matter how turbulent things get at the top, as long as they can hold onto the stability they have under their feet.

"Your Majesty, this...this is improper!"

"They're all watching us!"

"It should be me holding the umbrella for you..."

Today, however, two special people have joined the bustling streets.

A young couple in love. The man, dressed in fine clothes and with a jade belt, was exceptionally handsome. He held a parasol steadily towards the woman beside him, his smile as bright as a clear sky, his eyes sparkling with joy. It was unclear which noble family he belonged to.

Under the parasol, the woman was also beautiful and charming, with a lovely blush on her fair face, whether from the heat or shyness.

The two were a handsome man and a beautiful woman, already strikingly attractive. Their unrestrained intimacy naturally drew even more attention, with passersby casting either envious or teasing glances at them.

The girl became increasingly embarrassed and kept whispering to the person next to her.

The common people lived ordinary lives, the ministers speculated about which side to take, and the cultivators racked their brains... It was hard for anyone to associate this brazen young master, who strolled casually through the streets, with his reckless behavior, with his majestic and legendary king.

"Shh~ Susu!"

A prosperous era is definitely more pleasing to the eye.

The air outside the palace seemed fresher, and the sky appeared more open. Xie Cangrong chuckled and said to Tang Susu beside him, "We're out of the palace. Have you forgotten what to call me?"

"Well……"

Tang Susu was already introverted and shy, and upon hearing this, her face turned even redder. She glanced around, then looked up at the person in front of her and whispered, "Rong Lang~"

"Eh~"

Xie Cangrong agreed, laughing heartily, "Hahaha~"

Hearing his hearty laughter, Tang Susu's heart raced, as if she were trapped in a honey pot, the sweetness flowing from her heart to every part of her body.

She looked embarrassed, but she was actually very happy.

"Rong Lang, let me... Su Su can hold the umbrella herself~"

Xie Cangrong looked down at her: "What's wrong? You don't like it when I hold the umbrella for you?"

"No~ it's just..."

"I am a man, I am your husband. It's only natural for a man to hold an umbrella for a woman, and for a husband to hold an umbrella for his wife. What's the problem with that?"

A person is destined to have many identities.

Emperor Xie Cangrong's status was so great and dazzling that people often overlooked his other identities.

This applies even to the closest people.

Privately, he actually hopes to live a more cheerful and carefree life.

Although it's difficult...

Meeting Xie Cangrong's gaze, Tang Susu swayed slightly, the warm breeze making her a little dizzy. She unconsciously curved her eyes into a beautiful smile, and bowed slightly, saying, "Alright~ then Susu will leave you in my husband's care~"

"That's more like it! Hahaha!"

It was a rare opportunity for Xie Cangrong to get out for a stroll, and he was in a very good mood.

He led Tang Susu to a street stall and looked at some of the trinkets.

"Oh, gentlemen, what would you like to order?"

Upon seeing the two, the stall owner was first taken aback, then eagerly promoted the hairpin to Xie Cangrong: "With your beauty, Madam, you should try this hairpin; it perfectly suits your temperament!"

Xie Cangrong raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Let me see it~"

The vendor handed over a wooden hairpin decorated with peach blossom patterns. Xie Cangrong glanced at it and then personally put it in Tang Susu's hair.

It's a simple little trinket, made of cheap and ordinary materials, but when it falls on a beautiful woman's head, it surpasses thousands of gold and silver ornaments, making her truly charming and beautiful.

Tang Susu turned her head gently, the small flowers on her wooden hairpin swaying in the wind, her beautiful eyes sparkling with charm.

She unconsciously asked softly, "Does it look good?"

Xie Cangrong's eyes crinkled into a smile as he praised, "A spring breeze peeks out from under her hair, her face and the peach blossoms reflect each other's rosy hue."

"Absolutely gorgeous!"

"Tsk~"

Upon seeing this, the vendor was momentarily stunned, then exclaimed in amazement, "Her face and the peach blossoms complement each other perfectly... Young master, you are truly a man of great literary talent. I, on the other hand, am not very learned and can only praise you as a fairy, the most beautiful person I have ever seen!"

"Haha, do you say that to every customer?"

It's hard to imagine that this glorious emperor would casually chat and laugh with street vendors in the marketplace.

"Hey, sir, what are you saying! I might be flattering others a bit, but with you, madam, every word comes from the bottom of my heart! Don't you know how beautiful you are?"

"Okay, okay~ I'll buy it because of what you said!"

"Hey~ You're very generous, sir!"

……

"Ronglang~ What are you looking at?"

Others were watching her, and Xie Cangrong was also watching her.

Xie Cangrong said with a smile, "Look at what that vendor is saying, how beautiful my wife must be!"

"Rong Lang~"

The two chatted and laughed as they strolled through the market streets.

They seemed to be just an ordinary, simple couple strolling around town.

Wandering among the stalls, they reveled in the joy and enjoyed this rare moment of everyday life.

"Grandpa, I'll take all of these candied hawthorns!"

The old man stared blankly at the silver coins before him and handed over the candy candy stand in his hand.

Only after the two figures disappeared from sight did he come to his senses, his face filled with ecstatic joy.

"I remember you used to love eating these things, try some~ Eat as much as you want, we can eat one and throw one away~"

Xie Cangrong carried a large string of candied hawthorns with a rather arrogant air, and handed one of them to Tang Susu.

Tang Susu gradually relaxed and couldn't help but smile at him, "Thank you, my husband~"

……

"You, you become the Hegemon of Jin!"

"Ugh~ Why am I playing Xiang Yu again! We agreed last time that I should play Xue Pingrong~"

"No way~"

As the two chatted and laughed, the sounds of children making noise came from nearby.

Three or five children were playing on wooden sticks and bamboo poles at the street corner.

Tang Susu seemed to remember something, her eyes sparkling with a hint of mischief as she looked at Xie Cangrong: "Ronglang, Susu is somewhat interested in listening to a story~"

The games the children played were none other than the story of Manager Zheng of Baiweilou Restaurant, which had been drastically altered.

They expected to see Xie Cangrong's adorable reaction, but to their surprise, he simply looked at the children quietly, his eyes darting around as if he had remembered something.

It all happened in an instant. The next moment, he reverted to his usual self, glaring at Tang Susu with feigned ferocity: "No time! We're going to the Imperial Academy! Listening to storytelling again! Listening to storytelling again! Susu, it seems I've been spoiling you too much lately~"

"Giggle~"

"Why is my husband acting all high and mighty again?"

Tang Susu smiled with her eyes crinkling, but her delicate hands unconsciously tightened around the person beside her.
