In the following days, the emperor returned to the palace, and the prince and the fourth prince went to the morning court on time every day to assist the emperor in handling state affairs, and when they came back from the palace, the four princes would stay in the prince's mansion for a while.

"How's it going?" The emperor sat lazily on the dragon couch, with a bunch of folds next to him, and he also held the folds in his hand, but his eyes looked at the person kneeling on one knee.

"Back to the emperor, I just found this person, in a narrow alley." The person who replied was a man in his forties with a silver mask on his face.

The emperor was slightly stunned, and put down the fold in his hand: "Go down!" ”

"Yes." The masked man leaves at a speed that is difficult to catch with the naked eye.

The corners of the emperor's mouth rose slightly, and he finally found you.

In the dark of the narrow alley stood a person, this person was seven feet tall, handsome, even if he was wearing ordinary clothes, he still looked untouchable and uninhibited.

The narrow alley is not a small alley, but is composed of a dozen or twenty dilapidated houses, located in the middle of the night city, and next to a large banyan tree, under which there is a dilapidated temple, where the people of the lowest level live.

There were four children playing in a clearing, all about three to six years old, when the older girl cried out, "Sister Mo'er is back." Several other children also shouted, "Sister Mo'er." ”

The emperor followed the child's eyes, Mo'er was wearing coarse linen, her hair was tied up high, she was sweating profusely, carrying two bamboo baskets on her right shoulder, the flat shoulder was slightly bent downward, obviously the things in the bamboo basket had weight, the emperor looked at her left shoulder, although it was covered by clothes, but from the movement, she knew that the injury had not healed.

The emperor frowned slightly, wouldn't she take care of her body?

As soon as Mo'er put down the bamboo basket, the four children all gathered around, smiling, Mo'er squatted down and asked with a smile, "What game are you playing?" ”

"Play hide and seek, Sister Mo'er, can you play with us? We all want to play with Sister Mo'er. Yaya asked expectantly.

Mo'er looked at the sweet potatoes in the bamboo basket, touched Yaya's hair and said, "Okay, but you can only play once, Sister Mo'er still has something to do." ”

The children cheered happily and said loudly: "Sister Mo'er is going to be a ghost, let's hide it quickly." ”

After that, the children all scattered, and Mo'er faced the wall and counted: "1, 2, 3......"

The emperor shook his head helplessly, "It's so naïve." His eyes stared at her back without blinking, and when Mo'er counted to a hundred, he began to look around, it seemed that Mo'er was very familiar with this place, and was also familiar with the children's hiding methods, and after a while, he found out all four children.

The children were still not happy and wanted to play with Mo'er, at this time, a white-haired old woman came out of the room next to her, and shouted angrily at the children: "You guys, don't pester Sister Mo'er anymore, Sister Mo'er has just come back from digging sweet potatoes in the mountains, and she is already very tired, let Sister Mo'er rest." "The children immediately stopped making noise.

"Grandma Zhang, it's okay." Mo'er said.

"I'm sorry, Sister Mo'er, why don't I help you burn sweet potatoes." Yaya said.

Mo'er touched her head and said, "Yaya is sensible, Sister Mo'er knows, you see, here, Yaya is the biggest, and you have to be responsible for taking care of your younger siblings here, okay." Yaya smiled and nodded.

"Mo'er, don't be too tired, I made some steamed buns, let me get this sweet potato, you go and rest." From another room, an old woman came out on crutches with a bowl of steamed buns in her hand.

Mo'er immediately went over and took the steamed bun in her hand and helped her sit under the big tree in the clearing, "Grandma Lin, the steamed bun is so fragrant, I have eaten outside just now, and I am not hungry now." Glancing at the four little gluttonous cats, Mo'er peeled off the three steamed buns in half and gave them to the four children and the two grandmothers respectively.

After that, Mo'er carried two bamboo baskets of sweet potatoes into Grandma Zhang's dilapidated house, and the emperor immediately followed quietly, hiding where Mo'er could be seen, watching her skillfully wash half of the sweet potatoes, put them in an iron pot, and then light a fire.

After two pillars of incense, Mo'er packed the ripe sweet potatoes in a clean bamboo basket, put on a cloth mask, and carried them out of the house with a flat pole, and came to the original open space, Grandma Zhang, Grandma Lin and the children were still there, one sweet potato per person, Mo'er said a few words to them and left with the sweet potato.

"No wonder, the second brother hasn't been found yet, and she covers her face when she goes out, where is she going?" The emperor muttered to himself.

Mo'er came to a lively street, put two bamboo baskets of sweet potatoes on the ground, and shouted loudly: "Fragrant mountain sweet potatoes, freshly baked, fragrant and sweet, don't miss it when you pass by." ”

On the second floor of the inn not far from Mo'er, there was a window of a box with a crack open, and the emperor sitting on the chair looked at it dumbfounded, and Mo'er kept shouting: "Come and see, there are many benefits of mountain sweet potatoes, which can prevent constipation, strengthen the stomach and invigorate qi, and are also one of the best foods for weight loss, as long as a copper plate." ”

There are a lot of pedestrians on the road, every time someone comes forward to buy, you can see that Mo'er is very happy, the emperor called Xiao Er, let him buy some sweet potatoes back, and watched her smile brightly handed over the sweet potatoes to the little second-hand.

Xiao Er took the sweet potato and walked back to the box quickly, a big bag of sweet potatoes, the emperor had never eaten it, peeled off the skin to reveal the yellow meat, and took a bite, which was sweet and delicious.

It was getting late, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road, and most of the sweet potatoes had been bought, Mo'er left with a bamboo basket, and the emperor secretly followed, only to see Mo'er come to the vicinity of the Qinglou and continue to shout.

"It's so late, and you don't go back to rest, you dare to run to such a place." The emperor's tone was a little angry.

Mo'er stroked her stomach, she only ate a sweet potato all day today, and now her stomach is a little cramping, so she picked up the sweet potato and squatted on the ground to eat it.

"Obviously, I don't have a good stomach, so I don't treat it well, and I don't eat well." The emperor knew about it from Imperial Doctor Lin's report, and looked at it with a frown.

At this time, a person passed by, and the emperor stopped him, gave him two pieces of silver, and instructed him to buy all the sweet potatoes, and Mo'er happily went back with the empty bamboo basket.

"Sister Mo'er." A fifteen-year-old boy ran up to him.

"Licheng, didn't you tell you not to come? It's so late, you've had a busy day, you should go to bed early. "Licheng is a person in the narrow alley, because of some skills, he works as a messenger in the government, with a height of 1.7 meters, bronzed skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes, because he is two years younger than Mo'er, he was forced to call Mo'er his sister.

Licheng took the bamboo basket on Mo'er's shoulder: "During this time, it's not peaceful, I'm not worried about you, Sister Mo'er, you are really, you are still outside so late." ”

"What are you afraid of, I also have some skills."

"Yes, yes, but your injuries haven't healed yet, don't be too reckless, go back and rest."

The two returned to the narrow alley side by side and sent Mo'er home, only then did Licheng turn around and leave, and the figure in the dark disappeared.

After Mo'er finished grooming and liquidating today's income, it was three times more than usual, thanks to the generous hands of two guests, so she fell down on the bed satisfied, she was so tired that she fell asleep in a few seconds.
