Emperor Shen's charming wife

Chapter 91 Interlude

After the envoys from the neighboring countries left, Shen Yu's face was still as gloomy as water, as if ink could drip out of it. Seeing this, Ning Yao gently held his hand and said softly: "Brother Yu, don't be angry, they are just trying to test me." Shen Yu took a deep breath, then nodded slowly, and said: "I naturally know that they are just trying to test my bottom line. They really have ill intentions." Ning Yao smiled slightly, her beautiful eyes full of trust, and said: "Brother Yu, I believe in you, you will definitely protect me from the intrusion of these foreigners." Shen Yu nodded firmly, his eyes full of determination: "Don't worry, I will definitely I will never let you get hurt in the slightest." Ning Yao blinked her lively eyes, and suddenly suggested with great interest: "Brother Yu, I have an idea. Can we change into civilian clothes, sneak out of the palace, and experience the real life in the market? I heard that there are many novel and interesting things in the market." Shen Yu was slightly startled, then he smiled dotingly and nodded: "This is a good idea." So, the two of them secretly returned to the bedroom and changed into civilian clothes without telling anyone. They changed out of their gorgeous brocade robes and put on coarse linen clothes. Ning Yao also deliberately combed her hair into a bun like an ordinary woman, and Shen Yu also took off the crown on his head. Just as the two were about to leave the palace, Eunuch Li learned about this and turned pale with fear. He hurriedly chased after them and urged them: "Your Majesty, Madam, you can't do this. If something happens, I can't bear it." Shen Yu smiled and comforted him: "Eunuch Li, don't worry, we are just going out for a walk, nothing will happen." Eunuch Li had no choice but to secretly prepare more suitable civilian clothes for them, and also prepared some silver and some small toys for them in case of emergency. Shen Yu and Ning Yao dressed in civilian clothes and strolled leisurely in the bustling market. There were crowds of people around, and shouts and bargaining were heard one after another. Shen Yu looked at the lively scene full of fireworks and couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart: "I never thought that the market would be so prosperous and lively." Ning Yao smiled, her eyes moved, and said: "Brother Yu, look, there is a person selling sugar paintings over there." Shen Yu followed her gaze and saw an energetic old man skillfully fiddling with the tools in his hands, making exquisite sugar paintings. He walked up to him with great interest and asked: "Old man, how much is this?" The old man smiled and said: "Three cents each." Shen Yu took out three cents, handed it to the old man, and said: "Give me one." The old man was slightly stunned, then smiled and replied: "Okay." Shen Yu took the sugar painting and couldn't wait to take a bite. Who knew that the syrup instantly stuck to his hands. The children around saw this scene and couldn't help but giggle. Ning Yao pursed her lips and chuckled. She took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the syrup off Shen Yu's hands. Shen Yu smiled awkwardly and said, "I have never eaten this before, so I lost my sense of proportion for a moment." Ning Yao smiled and joked, "Brother Yu, you are so cute." The two continued to stroll and unknowingly came to a cloth shop. Ning Yao's eyes were attracted by a piece of cloth, and she was happy to buy it, but when she paid, she found that she did not have enough silver. Shen Yu smiled slightly and said confidently, "I will find a way." He walked into the cloth shop and said to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, I will be your model. Can you give me the cloth?" The shopkeeper looked hesitant. Seeing this, Shen Yu hurriedly said, "Shopkeeper, don't worry, I will help you attract many customers." The shopkeeper thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Okay." Shen Yu put on the shopkeeper's clothes and stood at the door of the shop with ease, instantly attracting the attention of many passers-by. The shopkeeper took the opportunity to shout loudly, "Dear folks, come and have a look. The clothes in our store are beautiful and affordable. This young man

After putting it on, it is so handsome." Passersby gathered around and rushed to buy clothes in the store. The shopkeeper was so happy that he kept his promise and gave the cloth to Shen Yu. Shen Yu took the cloth and said to Ning Yao proudly: "Look, I am awesome, right?" Ning Yao nodded with a smile and said: "Brother Yu, you are really awesome." During this period, Shen Yu and Ning Yao also encountered the trivial matter of resolving neighborhood disputes. When the two walked to a narrow alley, fierce quarrels came out. Shen Yu frowned slightly and said: "Let's go and take a look." They walked into the alley and saw two women arguing with red faces and thick necks. One woman put her hands on her waist and shouted angrily: "Your chickens stole the vegetables that my family worked hard to grow, you must compensate me!" The other woman was not to be outdone, and shouted at the top of her voice: "You are talking nonsense, my chickens are very well-behaved, how could they steal your vegetables? "Shen Yu stepped forward and said calmly, "Two sisters-in-law, stop arguing. Let's talk it out." The two women saw Shen Yu and Ning Yao, their faces full of surprise. One woman curled her lips and said, "Who are you? Stop interfering!" Shen Yu smiled gently and said, "We were just passing by here and heard the quarrel, so we came to see if we could help." The other woman hurriedly said, "Sir, please give us your judgment. She insisted that my chicken stole her vegetables." Shen Yu glanced at the scattered leaves on the ground, and then looked at the two chickens carefully, and soon had an answer in his mind. He pointed to one of the chickens and said, "There are still leaves on the mouth of this chicken. It must have stolen the vegetables." The two women suddenly realized it, and one woman said embarrassedly, "So that's the case. I always thought it was her chicken that stole the vegetables." The other woman also blushed and said, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. "The two women reconciled as before. Shen Yu and Ning Yao smiled at each other, turned around and left. The citizens around witnessed this scene and praised them as "messengers of justice." When the sun set in the west, the afterglow shone on the two of them, and they returned home with a full load. However, at the city gate, they were accidentally recognized by the patrolling guards. The guards were immediately panicked and hurriedly knelt down to salute. Shen Yu said helplessly: "You get up, the Queen and I are on a private visit, you don't have to make such a fuss." The guards nodded repeatedly, stood up and stood aside obediently. Shen Yu and Ning Yao returned to the palace, and Eunuch Li had been waiting for a long time. Eunuch Li smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are back." Shen Yu smiled and said, "Eunuch Li, you see that the Queen and I bought a lot of things. "Eunuch Li also smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are awesome. "Back in the bedroom, Shen Yu and Ning Yao were still immersed in the experience of the day, savoring it endlessly. Shen Yu had a sudden idea and said, "I plan to hold similar incognito visits regularly to better understand the people's sentiments." Ning Yao smiled and nodded, and said, "Brother Yu, I support you." After hearing this, Eunuch Li showed a smile of both helplessness and relief on his face, and at the same time began to silently plan the details of the next "outing" in his heart.
