The prefect learned the news of King Yu's coming from the front early, and quickly sent someone to clean up the largest and best courtyard in the palace, and took the officials of Yuanju City to the gate of the city to greet him.

It wasn't until Shen Shi that I saw King Yu's guard of honor appear in the distance, a large group of people and horses drove slowly, all the officials saluted, King Yu waved his hand, "This king is just passing by here, just a two-day break, you don't have to greet with great fanfare, everything is simple, don't disturb the people." ”

The prefect also joined hands with the officials to prepare a sumptuous dinner, but the king of Yu refused, he went all the way to the tent leaves, in the name of praying for his father's blessing, and the prince's honor guard was to have it, but he did not plan to have excessive contact with the local officials, so as not to arouse the suspicion of his father. Therefore, not to mention the dinner, he was exempted from the visits of these officials, and only took Ye Qian to live in the large courtyard prepared by the prefect, and as soon as the courtyard door was closed, it was immediately clean.

"Qianqian is tired, right?" King Yu pinched her calves distressedly, helping her activate the meridians, "Let's stay here for two days and then leave, I heard that there is a kind of peach in this Yuanzhou City, small but extremely sweet, these days are the ripe season, tomorrow I will take Qianqian to the peach forest for a turn, okay?" ”

Peach? Ye Qian's eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously, "Okay, Brother Yan, I'll choose it myself." ”

"Okay, Qianqian has picked it, I'll help Qianqian pick it." King Yu responded with a smile.

Early the next morning, the two set off, followed by Gonggong Kang and Bai Zhen, and Zheng Han accompanied by a team of guards.

There is a large peach forest not far outside the city, and the prefect has sent people to fence this place off, so as not to let idle people enter, so as not to collide with the king and princess of Yu.

Xiao Yanfeng took Ye Qian's hand and entered the peach forest, it was the ripening season of peaches, the air was full of the sweet fragrance of peaches, Ye Qian raised her head and looked at the peaches on the tree, sure enough, they were not big, she clenched her fist and compared, it was slightly bigger than her fist, the sunny side was tempting pink, and the shady side was white, Ye Qian frowned suspiciously, "It's so small, can it be delicious?" Although it smelled good, the peaches she used to eat were all big and sweet.

"It's delicious, Qianqian can pick it with confidence." Xiao Yanfeng took a long pole handed over by his entourage, the head of the pole was in the shape of a sickle, and under the sickle was a cloth pocket, so that the cut peaches would fall into the pocket and would not fall to the ground.

Ye Qian trusted him very much, and he said that the delicious things never disappointed her. She tilted her head and carefully picked the peaches, which were beautiful red, plump, and beautifully shaped. She picked it out and pointed it out to Xiao Yanfeng, and he cut it off for her with a long pole, then picked it out of the cloth pocket and put it in Gonggong Kang's basket.

She was not greedy either, and picked a basket and stopped. King Yu dragged her around the peach orchard again before returning to the prefect's mansion.

Bai Zhen carefully washed the peaches, put them in a large dish of sweet white porcelain, and brought them up.

Ye Qian tentatively took a bite in the reddest part of the peach, not the soft feeling of the peach, but crunchy, but very sweet, "Brother Yan, it's really sweet!" She laughed with satisfaction, and the two little pear vortices also ran out.

Xiao Yanfeng also pinched and took a bite, "It's really sweet." However, without his little princess Tian, she has been with her for thousands of miles and rivers, and she has never shouted tired for more than ten days, and she never complains even if she is uncomfortable.

The next day, the two decided to go around the most prosperous street in Yuanzhou City, this time they didn't bring Gonggong Kang and Bai Zhen Lufei, only Zheng Han followed from afar with a few guards.

"The layout of this street and the things sold are similar to those in Kyoto, so I don't feel any difference." Ye Qian looked at it while walking, she thought it would be very different when she went out of Kyoto.

Xiao Yanfeng nodded, "It's still too close to Kyoto, and the farther you go, the more different it will be." ”

As she was talking, Ye Qian saw a group of people surrounding her in front of her, and they were discussing, "Brother Yan, look at what is sold there." Ye Qian pulled Xiao Yanfeng and walked over, and Zheng Han hurriedly approached with the guards.

There was a woman in white kneeling in the crowd, with a blank piece of paper in front of her, with the four big words "selling yourself to bury your father" written on it, Ye Qian took a breath, she had only heard such a thing in the drama, but she didn't expect to really encounter it. She looked at the straw mat next to the woman, and there was a person wrapped in it, and she couldn't see it clearly, but the bare feet that were exposed were gray and white, and obviously not the normal color.

Ye Qian grabbed King Yu's hand, the dead man wrapped in the straw mat made her feel a little nervous, she looked at the woman, kneeling there with her head down and sobbing, only a pointed chin could be seen.

King Yu and Ye Qian are richly dressed, they are not ordinary people at first glance, they squeezed into the crowd, and the people who were originally talking about it looked at the two people curiously, the man was only sixteen or seventeen years old, with long eyebrows and phoenix eyes, his body was like a green bamboo, his face was like a crown of jade, he was not as beautiful as a real person, and the little girl next to him was only about ten years old, with white and tender cheeks and big apricot eyes, which looked very cute.

The woman with her head down felt the change in the atmosphere and raised her head, Ye Qian saw her appearance clearly, she was only fourteen or fifteen years old, she was very good-looking, her eyes were bright, and I felt pity.

When she saw King Yu, her eyes lit up, "Please buy the little girl, as long as the father is buried, the little woman is willing to serve the nobleman as a cow and a horse." ”

Before King Yu could speak, a man with a fat head and big ears and a fierce face next to him shouted: "I bought it, how much silver?" ”

Someone laughed, "You have several concubines in your house, and you still buy them?" ”

The man laughed, "There are not too many beautiful women, go, go back with Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu will send someone to bury your father." As he spoke, he tried to pull the woman to her feet.

The woman's face turned pale with fright, and she threw herself at the feet of King Yu, "Please buy the little girl!" ”

The tears on her face fell like beads with broken threads, and Ye Qian couldn't bear it in her heart, so she turned around and ordered: "Zheng Han, give her twenty taels of silver, so that she can bury her father with a good life." "When her mother was pregnant, her father accompanied her to take charge of the feed, and she was very sure of the price, and twenty taels of silver was enough for this woman to bury her father, and she could live a stable life.

Zheng Han glanced at King Yu, and seeing that he had no intention of stopping it, he took out twenty taels of silver and handed it to the woman.

The man with a fierce face was unhappy when he saw someone give out the money, but there were several people around King Yu, and he didn't dare to provoke him when he saw that it was a guard.

The woman looked at King Yu gratefully, "Thank you, the little woman will definitely serve the nobles with all her heart and soul in the future." ”

Ye Qian waved her hand, "No need, you can live a good life after you bury your father, we don't need your service." ”

The woman glanced at Ye Qian, and then looked at King Yu with a clear gaze, "This girl must also be by the nobleman's side, she is still young, some things must not be done, the nobleman still needs other people to serve, please bring the little woman with you, the little woman will definitely satisfy the nobleman." ”

There was laughter among the onlookers, Ye Qian felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, obviously she asked Zheng Han to give the silver, but this woman blindly pestered King Yu to talk, and wanted King Yu to take her with her, her words were also a little wrong, just look at the people around her laughing so obscenely. However, King Yu has never had a woman to serve by his side, only an inner servant.

Ye Qian's little face stiffened, "I said that I don't need your service, you can take the silver." ”

But the woman turned a deaf ear, looked at King Yu, and called softly and weakly: "Your noble......"

King Yu glanced at her, "Wait." He pulled Ye Qian and walked to the side for more than a dozen steps, the woman's eyes showed surprise, it seemed that he had decided to accept himself, this was to pull the little girl to appease.

King Yu did go to appease Ye Qian, the woman's origin was unknown, and she was entangled, he was worried that the little girl would be sad after being let down, so he pulled her away a few steps, "Qianqian, that woman-"

"I don't want Brother Yan to take her!" Ye Qian didn't know what was wrong, when she thought that there were other women around King Yu, serving him and following him, her heart became uncomfortable, she pulled King Yu's sleeve and shook it, "Brother Yan, don't accept her, I don't like Brother Yan to have other women around him!" ”

King Yu's eyes widened in surprise, little girl, this is ...... Jealous!

Ye Qian saw King Yu's surprised expression, and her heart was even more aggrieved, her little pink lips pursed vigorously, "Brother Yan, I'm with you, if there's anything I won't do, I'll just learn." ”

It's not in vain that she has been spoiled for so long, and the little girl finally sees herself as a treasure that other women can't covet! The little girl has her own in her heart! The joy in King Yu's heart overflowed layer by layer, drowning the whole person, he smiled and held her hand and squeezed it hard, "Don't listen to others, Qianqian can do anything, I have Qianqian." ”

Ye Qian was relieved at this time, "Brother Nayan sent her away." ”

King Yu said: "She came for us, did Qianqian see her hand and the mat?" ”

Ye Qian glanced at it suspiciously, and saw that the woman's hands were very white, and the mat wrapped in the dead was also very clean. The woman saw the two of them talking and looking at herself, and became more and more sure that King Yu was persuading the little girl to accept her.

King Yu said softly: "Her hands are very white and tender, there is no trace of work at all, obviously she is pampered, how can such a person lack money for burial?" The mat looks new, and to the extent that he wants to sell himself to bury his father, he must be wrapped in a broken mat at home, who will go out of his way to buy a new mat? ”

"She, she's a liar!" Ye Qian came back to her senses, "She wants to entangle Brother Yan." "No wonder she refused to leave, it was premeditated.

"And the dead man," the king continued, "since she did not lose her father, how could it be that there was a dead man, and the body was probably bought and stolen." ”

"She's disgusting!"

"Qianqian, we entered the city with great fanfare, and the people in Yuanzhou City probably know that there is a prince here, and it is inevitable that some people will have crooked thoughts. We will never accept such a person with bad intentions and unknown origin. He paused, "Of course, even if it is innocent, I won't accept it, in my life, it is enough to have Qianqian by my side." ”
