Capítulo 1759: Chapter 1766 Baohua Temple (4)

However, it was hopeless to rely on it…

They didn’t know, they thought the Empress Dowager was attending to an illness, when in fact she was strolling side by side with the Emperor on the streets of Bianzhou.

The white-haired tiger couldn’t reach the Northern Ridge’s Royal City overnight; they had to rest at one station in between, so they chose Bianzhou, the most prosperous city in the north, as a layover, planning to wander for a day, play for a day, and then set off for Lingbei at night.

Bianzhou Prefecture was the most prosperous and affluent city in the northern region, second only to Lin’an City. Its trade was developed, with sable fur, ginseng, and deer antler being the most famous commodities. Eighty percent of Great Jin’s ginseng, sable fur, and deer antler were circulated from here across the country.

Cai Wei planned to buy a batch of ten-year-old ginseng to plant in the space. Nowadays, her ginseng shops had opened all over the country. Because the business was good, much of the ginseng in the space had been dug out. She needed to keep planting to ensure that all the shops had a steady supply!

After visiting a few shops, she bought quite a bit of ginseng, all of which she placed in her portable basket. The basket had a lid, and once the ginseng was placed inside, it was directly collected into the space. In the space, Chang Mei took a small shovel and planted the purchased ginseng in the forest.

As Cai Wei was buying and wandering, the two people’s exceptional appearances drew countless sideways glances from passersby.

Facing various envious or surprised expressions, Nangong Yi felt no discomfort at all. Holding Cai Wei’s hand, he confidently walked under the gaze of the crowd, feeling a bit smug, as if showing off his madam. This wasn’t the Capital, no one knew them, so even if their hand-holding was a bit frivolous, there was no worry about court officials heartbrokenly accusing him of being frivolous, nor fear of public criticism.

However, perhaps having stayed in this world for a long time, Cai Wei’s thinking had become conservative. Walking hand in hand with a man on the street and facing all kinds of looks from the public made her somewhat uncomfortable, especially when she saw the man’s flaunting demeanor, it made her even more uneasy.

“Nangong Yi, let’s not hold hands anymore. Look, so many people are watching us!”

“Afraid of what? They are envious of your insight for finding such a handsome and refined husband!”

Cai Wei twitched her mouth, defeated by the man’s narcissism. She quietly took a glance at the man and unexpectedly found a bit of pride on his handsome face, which made her ashamed.

This man, where was his previous honorable restraint, cold arrogance, and domineering presence? How did he become a showy child? Besides, what’s there to flaunt about? Is it just because his madam is slightly better-looking than others’? What’s so remarkable about that?

“Brother-in-law, do you think that by running away like this, our older sister will be sad at home?”

Nangong Yi froze, not understanding what Cai Wei was saying. But when he saw the disdainful and malicious eyes from all around, he immediately knew she was playing a prank!

The man’s face turned black at once. When he saw everyone’s contemptuous eyes and malicious grins, he couldn’t flaunt anymore. He grabbed her hand and quickly fled in embarrassment…

“Hahaha…”

Cai Wei laughed happily, finding it very amusing to tease him like this. Let him flaunt, let him be smug! She had ways to deal with him!

After being teased by Cai Wei, Nangong Yi dared not show his face on the street anymore, lest everyone pointed fingers at him. Thus, he hired a carriage and took Cai Wei to the most famous Baohua Temple in Bianzhou Prefecture.
