"Your Majesty, you are finally back."

In Prince Jing's Mansion, a man dressed as a guard breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the people floating into the courtyard.

"Xiaotan, why are you looking for me in the middle of the night?"

Jing Yuan asked calmly.

Xiaotan said: "I'm not looking for you, it's that person who is looking for you!"

Jing Yuan's dark color moved slightly and walked towards the palace.

Xiao Tan stayed in the hospital and did not follow up. He touched his nose and sneezed. When did the prince change the incense? Why does he smell like peach blossoms today?

Jing Yuan walked into his bedroom in the palace, but instead of resting, he pulled out a book from the bookshelf. There was a mechanism connected under the book. As soon as the book was pulled out, the entire bookshelf turned half-rotation.

A secret room is revealed.

Jing Yuan walked into the secret room, and the bookshelf automatically turned back. Jing Yuan put the books back on the bookshelf, and heard a voice from behind: "We don't have much time."

Jing Yuan turned his head and saw a man dressed in black and wearing a silver mask sitting on a chair in the secret room. It was this man who was speaking just now.

Jing Yuan nodded, raised his hand, and a burst of spiritual power rushed towards the man in black. The spiritual power was so majestic that it had the potential to overwhelm the sky and the earth.

The man in black accepted the attack and said with some surprise: "You are already at the sixth level of cultivation." Jing Yuan remained silent and acquiesced.

"With this level of cultivation, Square Eyes Jiuzhou, you are well-deserved to be number one!" The man in black said loudly, quite pleased and happy, "Everyone in the world knows that Prince Jing is too weak to practice, but who knew that you are actually an unprecedented genius?

,Hahaha!"

"No," Jing Yuan suddenly said, interrupting the man in black's laughter.

The man in black asked in confusion: "Where did you come from?"

"I'm still a little behind." Jing Yuan replied calmly.

"Huh? What's wrong?" The man in black was puzzled.

"It's worse than being alone."

Jing Yuan bypassed the man in black, walked into the depths of the secret room, sat down on a white jade bed, and began to practice.

The man in black thought for a while in confusion, as if he didn't understand how someone could make this genius, who was already at the sixth level of cultivation at the age of seventeen, say the words "not even close".

After being isolated for a while, the man in black suddenly sneezed and said dullly: "Where does this smell of peach blossoms come from?"

The next day, Chu Xia went to the laundry room to pull Er Hua out. The two worked hard all day, and finally brewed several jars of peach blossom wine and buried the jars under the peach tree, waiting to be taken out next year.

.

Seeing that it was getting dark, both of them were exhausted.

In the past, the General's Mansion would become quiet after dusk, but for some reason today, it was still very noisy even though it was already so late.

However, the noise did not spread to Chu Xia's hut, and it was still very quiet here.

At this time, a sudden gurgling sound suddenly occurred in the quiet room, and Er Hua rubbed his stomach awkwardly: "I'm a little hungry..."

Chu Xia stood up: "Let's go find something to eat."

Er Hua said hurriedly: "No, no, no, no one is in the kitchen at this time, and I'm not very hungry, so it doesn't matter."

Chu Xia was not good at talking nonsense, so she directly picked up Er Hua and walked out of the door.

As soon as they went out, they saw that the general's palace was very busy. Even the eldest lady Chu Han, who was said to have been practicing behind closed doors, came out and was talking intimately to the third lady Chu Wei in the courtyard while walking out.

Er Hua clapped his hands: "Oh! I remembered! Today is the day when the monthly night market is open. The streets are very lively. There are many vendors selling delicious and fun things. Vendors will set up stalls along the streets. I have been there once.

, I still can’t forget the taste of that meatball!”

Er Hua's mouth seemed to be drooling. Chu Xia paused as she walked towards the kitchen, then turned around and walked to the back wall.

Before Er Hua could figure out why the two of them came to the back wall in the middle of the night, Chu Xia took Er Hua up in the air, climbed over the wall, and came to the back street.

"This, this, this!" Er Hua was so frightened that Chu Xia smiled softly, pulled Er Hua and said softly: "Run quickly."

The two of them ran from the dark backstreet to the brightly lit street. The street was really lively, the crowds were noisy, the aroma of food and the shouts of the vendors hawking along the street aroused people's appetite, and there were many new things hanging out.

Selling.

Chu Xia has been cold-tempered since she was a child and has devoted herself to cultivation. Come to think of it, she has never been to this night market. She also knows that the night market in Chen State is lively, but this is the first time she has seen it with her own eyes.

It's so lively...a little noisy.

Chu Xia was a little uncomfortable, and Er Hua on the side suddenly pointed excitedly at a stall selling meatballs in front of him: "Look! That's it! Those meatballs are delicious!"

All right……

Besides being noisy, there is also something...warm.

Chu Xia and Er Hua each ordered a small pack of meatballs. Chu Xia poked a small meatball with a bamboo skewer and put it into his mouth. The taste that he had never tasted before hit the tip of his tongue, which was unfamiliar but made people feel extra warm. The two of them ate while

While walking, every time he saw some fresh snacks, Er Hua excitedly pulled Chu Xia over. The two of them walked around for a while, never stopping to eat.

Satisfied, Er Hua stuffed the last small fish skin dumpling into her mouth. Her mouth was full, and she said vaguely: "I have never been so happy eating at a night market..." She suddenly remembered,

The reason why I couldn't eat so much delicious food when I went to the night market before was because I didn't have money, but today...

Er Hua looked at Chu Xia - all the money was paid by Chu Xia...

Chu Xia bit the bun and saw Er Hua staring at her with a strange expression. She blinked and handed the oil paper bag with two buns in her hand to Er Hua: "You want it?"

Er Hua shook his head and shook his head, and said incoherently: "Chu Xia, um... you spent a lot of money today, and I forgot everything when I saw the delicious food. uh... what I spent today... I will definitely pay you back.

!”

Chu Xia was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that she was talking about paying for it herself. She smiled and shook her head: "I have enough money, so don't worry, and you don't have to pay it back."

"How can that be done? I, Er Hua, will not take advantage of others for nothing." Er Hua said. She thought, Chu Xia was in such a miserable situation a few days ago, how much money can she use on her hands? She's afraid.

He is even worse than her. She will definitely not take advantage of Chu Xia.

Chu Xia saw what Er Hua was thinking, but did not explain. When she was still the pride of the Chu family, her belongings were not comparable to those of ordinary young ladies from aristocratic families. Although most of them have been looted by Chu Wei and others now, what is left is

A little private money is still a huge sum of money in the eyes of servants like Er Hua.

Explaining these is troublesome, useless, and has a bit of a show-off nature, which can easily make the two of them feel at odds. Chu Xia is also a person who doesn't like explanations by nature, so she simply doesn't talk to Er Hua.

"If you don't have any money, get out of here and don't stop me from doing business!"

At this time, a man screamed and fell hard at the feet of Chu and Xia. Er Hua hurriedly helped the man up, only to see his head hit a stone on the side of the road, which was broken and bleeding.

.

"How could you be like this? Can't you just say something properly?" Seeing the blood on the man's face, Er Hua quickly took out a handkerchief and helped him deal with it while questioning the stall owner.

There were about a dozen special metal cages placed in front of the stall owner, all of which contained various small animals. Apparently, the stall owner was a spiritual beast dealer.

When the stall owner heard what Er Hua said, he sneered and said, "Oh, a poor guy like this wants to see a high-level spiritual beast. He can't pay for it. I told him to get lost, but he still pestered me. It's really shameless."

The man held Er Hua's hand and said weakly: "That Fire Rabbit is going to die soon. Please save it..."

The two of them looked over in response, and saw a little rabbit with snow-white fur and blood-red hooves in one of the cages. It was lying in the cage dying, with a pair of wet eyes staring closely at the rabbit that fell to the ground.

People seem to know that the person was beaten because of it.

Chu Xia suddenly said: "I'll buy that Fire Rabbit."

"You?" The stall owner glanced at Chu Xia suspiciously: "My Fire Spirit Rabbit is worth a lot of money. How can you, a little girl, afford it? Get out of here, get out of here, don't disturb my business."

Before Chu Xia could retort, a girl in gorgeous clothes and cheering came to the stall to pay. The girl arrogantly glanced at the cage on the stall, seemed to sneer, and raised her hand to point to a cage at random: "

I want this black-white fox."

The stall owner hurriedly responded, waving Chu Xia and others to the side, and respectfully handed over the Mo Bai Fox's cage: "Miss, please take a look." The girl carried the cage casually, with the little Mo Bai Fox huddled in the cage.

Shivering in the corner of the cage, the girl stretched a finger into the cage and poked the Mobai fox's soft fur with her well-groomed nails. The Mobai fox shivered even more, and the girl smiled: "I want it."

"

Next to him, a good-looking man with a somewhat vulgar smile paid the money and said: "If there is anything else Xiaoqing wants, I will buy it for you."

The girl smiled sweetly: "Your Majesty, you are so considerate."

Yes, the wretched man who paid was none other than Prince Dingnan, who was engaged to Chu Xia.

When the prince and Xiaoqing wanted to leave, they saw Chu Xia, who was crowded aside and watching silently.

Chu Xia was dressed in red and stood in the bright lights on the street. She was gorgeous and coquettish, but not very clear, as if she would disappear in the next moment.

"Chu Xia? Why are you here?" The prince was stunned for a moment and was stunned. When he came to his senses, he frowned and asked.

"This night market is so bustling, and the little girl wants to come and join in the fun." Chu Xia said politely, half-smiling but not smiling.

"A woman to be married should stay at home without leaving the door. How can she go out and wander around!" The prince was quite dissatisfied. He didn't like women who were too independent. A good girl should be obedient, docile, and be around all day long.

Those who serve their parents and husband at home should not go out on the streets to play at will.

Chu Xia's eyes narrowed slightly. Did he really think that he was her husband? What was he willing to do, and it was his turn to judge and give orders here? What a joke.

Xiaoqing chuckled: "Your Majesty, if you don't want to introduce me, who is this?"
