Congratulations on opening the coffin

Chapter 203 Stolen in Public
The atmosphere between the two was suddenly cold, Xiao Chen opened his mouth, and suddenly an excited shout came from under the eaves: "Mother!"

A small figure stepped up the wall and jumped into Shen Ruo's arms, "Why did you come here, let me find it easier."

Feng Xi, who was holding big bags and small bags of snacks in his arms, followed a step behind, suddenly felt a killing intent, his hair stood on end, turned his head, and saw his prince's dissatisfied (not) face.

Only then did he realize that he had spoiled the prince's good deeds?
Feng Xi hurriedly stepped forward, and said with a smile: "Little son, we haven't finished shopping in Huainan City yet, why don't we go for a walk?"

Lin'er, who was completely buried in her mother's gentle embrace, twitched her ears, as if her heart moved, and then shook her head: "I don't, I want to be with my mother!"

Whoops, his little ancestor, didn't see that your mother is developing a relationship with the prince, maybe he will have a little brother soon?

Feng Xi always felt that the eyes of the prince next to him staring at him became more terrifying, he hurriedly persuaded: "Little son, you just..."

"Forget it, since Lin'er wants to be with me, let's sit here together. Anyway, there are so many people today, there's nothing to do in a crowd."

Even Shen Ruo opened his mouth, Feng Xi didn't dare to say anything, secretly glanced at the prince standing beside him, nodded and said: "Yes, empress."

"By the way, don't call me your empress in the future, just call me Miss Qiao or Qiao Yu."

Feng Xi looked at Xiao Chen next to him for the second time, and seeing that he had no objection, he suppressed the surprise in his heart, and nodded again to accept the order: "Yes...Miss Qiao."

He looked left and right, saw that there was nothing else to do, bowed his head and said, "Then this subordinate will leave first."

Saying that, he jumped straight off the eaves, determined not to be a light bulb.

The night breeze was blowing, and the three of them sat together on the eaves, feeling a little like a family of three.

"Mother, the performance is so clear from this angle."

Lin'er sat on her lap, chubby pointed to the Tongque Terrace in the distance, and said happily.

"Mmm." Shen Ruo replied somewhat casually.

She was wiping the sweat off his forehead with a silk handkerchief, and then she put her hand into his back. As expected, her clothes were soaked with sweat, so she stuffed the handkerchief into his clothes to separate his back from the wet clothes, So as not to catch a cold.

Lin'er sat obediently and let her rub the ball and press it. After she finished, he said a little excitedly: "Look, mother, it's Phoenix!"

At the same time, eager applause and cheers came from the stands in the distance, causing Shen Ruo to look up.

It turned out to be a kite in the shape of a phoenix flying across the sky, lifelike. At first glance, it looked like a live phoenix flying and dancing. After a closer look, I found that there was a person on the back of the phoenix. She was standing barefoot and dancing gracefully.

She was dressed in red clothes like fire, and her hair was flying like a phoenix fairy coming from a phoenix.

There was an astonishing cheer in the stands.

"Look, it's Feng Laiyi."

"It's so beautiful. I didn't expect her to participate in this Kao competition. With her here, didn't those people just look like vulgar fans?"

"But wasn't she bought by the little prince from Yuemanlou three years ago? At that time, I regretted that I couldn't see her in that year's Kao Competition."

"It's not for that..."

"Wow! That little lord really paid for it, even such a beauty is willing to use it as bait."

……

They are still a little far away from the stands, and some voices are blurred and scattered by the wind, so they can't be heard clearly, but Shen Ruo can still guess the general content.

She couldn't help but think about what the two maids told her at dusk. With such a big fanfare, as long as the other party is not a fool, it is impossible to be fooled, right?
But that flower picker is indeed abominable. In this era, if they lose their virginity before leaving the court, no one knows better than her what will happen to them.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help frowning slightly, but Lin'er in her arms seemed to have a telepathy, and realized that she was in a bad mood, so she turned around and said softly, "Mother, in Lin'er's eyes, You are the most beautiful."

Shen Ruo couldn't help returning to her senses, listening to his words, couldn't help pinching his chubby little face: "Then mother should be worried about what you think of a wife in the future."

Lin'er pursed her mouth, wrapped her two chubby hands around her neck, and said coquettishly, "I don't want anyone else, I just want my mother."

Someone sitting next to him cast a cool look: "Your mother has already been booked."

"..." Shen Ruo glanced over, "What nonsense are you talking to the child?"

"I don't think he's talking nonsense."

Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows, "Some things should be explained as soon as possible."

"..."

Shen Ruo resisted the urge to roll her eyes to the sky, and didn't want to continue talking to him, so she cast her eyes on the Tongque Terrace, but she didn't want to, just a few seconds of interruption, the woman in red who was still dancing on the phoenix just disappeared. Huo Di stood up.

At first, everyone thought it was part of the performance, until countless elite soldiers in armor poured out from the darkness in all directions and surrounded the Wanjiang River, everyone realized in surprise that they were arrested.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the flower picker did not know what method he used to arrest him.

"How did he do that?"

"What just happened?"

"I don't know either, did you see anything?"

……

Shen Ruo also had a terribly serious face, and someone was arrested right under her nose, but she didn't notice anything.

Lin'er turned her head and looked at her innocent and innocent face, "Mother, what is a flower picker? A flower thief?"

Shen Ruo pressed his head into her arms: "Little boy, don't ask so many questions."

Smelling the scent of mother's fragrance, Lin'er pursed her mouth in disbelief, and finally didn't ask any more questions.

Shen Ruo looked at the soldiers looking for people along the river, and was a little puzzled: "This Huainan City is not a military important place, so there are so many soldiers?"

"They are private soldiers. This is the fiefdom of the King of Huainan. You don't need the emperor's permission to recruit troops. However, more than 20 years ago, the old King Huainan was alert and obeyed the imperial court's order to reduce the number of soldiers from [-] to [-]. , and thus escaped the court’s hostility.”

"Now in the entire Xiao Kingdom, only Huainan King, the king of the opposite sex, is left. Five years ago, in order to reassure the court, the old prince brought his whole family and went directly to live in Beijing. Only the eldest son stayed behind."

Xiao Chen briefly explained, looked into the distance, and said slowly, "The city is in such a mess now, it's not easy to continue walking, let's go back first."

Shen Ruo thought for a while, then nodded: "Alright."

So, the four of them went straight back home, and seeing that it was getting late, they went back to their houses to rest.

Originally, Lin'er wanted to be with Shen Ruo, but was taken away by the cold-faced Xiao Chen.

The courtyard under the darkness of night was unusually peaceful and quiet, until a black shadow passed by, the treetops moved slightly, and in an instant, they returned to their original appearance.
