Long live Emperor Wu!

The guards surrounding her did not stop her. Arthur hurried to Wu Rou's side, immediately knelt down and cried:

"Master, you finally came to see me. I thought I would never have the chance to meet you again in this life."

Her movement was very loud, and her kneeling immediately shocked the busy craftsmen in the yard to stop and look over.

Wu Rou quickly helped her up and said anxiously:

"You have long been freed from slavery because of your meritorious service. How can you scream? Get up quickly and let's find a quiet place to talk."

A slave has a low status and cannot marry his beloved. When she was in the palace, she was indeed a slave, but because she was pardoned by the emperor when she was released from the palace, she was automatically registered as a civilian when she left the palace, and she was promoted to a good citizen.

Wu Rou was grateful to her for not forgetting her roots and not hiding her past identity at all, but she could not allow her to be looked down upon.

That's why I said it loudly on purpose.

Arthurs also knew that she was the queen now, and she would definitely not be public when she came out secretly, so he stood up obediently and hurried back with the others.

Her eyes were all on Wu Rou. When the two started walking, she realized that there was a man in a cloak following beside her.

She glanced at him secretly and felt that he looked familiar. After thinking for a while, she realized that this was the former Crown Prince Li Shan, now His Majesty the Emperor.

Her heart suddenly jumped "dong dong", and she suddenly felt that something was wrong with her, but she didn't dare to say anything.

When they arrived in the front hall, Hu Xiang left all his followers outside, went in, closed the door, knelt down towards Wu Rou and Li Shan, and saluted:

"Citizen woman Arthurs, pay homage to your majesty, and pay homage to the queen."

Li Shan stood and accepted it, Wu Rou did not stop her anymore, but said softly:

"Get up, stop praying, do you have to ask me to pull you over again and again?"

Arthur responded and stood up, crying and laughing, as before, standing respectfully and dignified, bowing slightly, lowering his head and saying:

"I didn't expect that His Majesty and the Queen came together. The woman was really flattered and didn't know what to do. This village is so simple that I'm afraid it will stain His Majesty's eyes."

When Li Shan heard that she specifically singled him out, he knew that their relationship was really good since he and Wu Rou didn't know each other at all, so he smiled and said:

"It's okay, I think it's fine."

Arthurs looked up at the emperor and Wu Rou again, and then said with tears of joy:

"It's like a dream. I'm lucky enough to see you two again. Your Majesty is smiling more than before. Talent... no, the Queen is also gentler and kinder than before. It's great."

Wu Rou heard this, raised her sleeves and said with a smile:

"Yeah, it's so obvious... I guess it's red when you're close to vermillion, and black when you're close to ink. The longer you stay with a person of Buddha nature like him, the more and more they look like each other."

Arthur looked at it with tears in his eyes, as if he was about to cry, and said:

"If it hadn't been for my mother-in-law, who gave me money and arranged for people to take care of me, I wouldn't be where I am today. My mother-in-law is the noble person in Arthur's life."

Wu Rou looked at her and felt as if she was in another world. Her eyes became moist and she said:

"Okay, it's a pleasure to find you, so don't cry."

Prince Li Hong raised his head and glanced at his own mother, his face full of doubts, but he did not say a word.

There are many rules in the palace. When outsiders are present, it is the most basic courtesy to answer questions and not to interrupt without asking.

So even though he was full of doubts, he just looked around and waited until there were no outsiders before asking for the reason.

Arthur lowered his eyes, looked at the cute and smart child in front of him, with a look of great affection on his face, and asked:

"Mother, is this the young master?"

Wu Rou was afraid that she would kneel again, so she quickly said:

"Yes, but don't kneel down anymore. We came out just to play. We want to see the scenery of the city. Let you take us for a walk. Please call us Mr. Madam instead."

After hearing this, Arthur quickly responded and asked anxiously:

"Whatever you two want to see, I'll arrange it right now."

Wu Rou then moved her gaze to Li Shan's face and looked at him asking for instructions. Li Shan lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then said warmly:

"I just want to see if the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the people are the same as in the memorial.

It would be best to look at the current market price of rice and grain, how many homeless people there are on the streets, how much a piece of white cloth costs, and what ordinary people can afford. Official and miscellaneous taxes are either light or heavy for the poor people. "

When Arthur heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded.

Wu Rou withdrew her gaze and said with a smile:

"Then just go for a walk on the street and look around. Arthur, take us to the place where we can best see the lives of ordinary people.

This prosperous place is commonplace for Your Majesty. You don't want to see it when you come out. You take us to see the poor places. "

Arthur was a little embarrassed and said:

"But... that kind of place... is too... too messy, too ugly... I'm afraid I'm neglecting you two, just in case anything goes wrong."

Li Shan said calmly:

"It doesn't matter. I haven't seen it before. I came out to see it with my own eyes. I have people with me. You don't need to think about safety matters. I won't blame you if anything happens."

After hearing this, Arthur bowed and saluted and said:

"Public women obey orders."

……

……

After leaving the gate of Buzhuang, Arthur insisted on following Wu Rou and his companions in front of the carriage, refusing to get in and lead the way.

Seeing that Wu Rou couldn't defeat her, she agreed.

Seeing that she was extremely respectful to this group of people, Harry couldn't help but feel a little curious, so he took advantage of the opportunity, came to her side, and asked:

"Madam, what are the backgrounds of these people? It seems quite strange. The young master is young but has a lot of momentum.

I just took him to visit the cloth shop, and the questions he asked were how much does a pound of high-quality silk cost this year, and how much does reeling cost per pile. These words, others asked to inquire about the market situation, but he asked... I felt like I was taking the first prize. "

When Arthur heard this, she immediately laughed out loud. She glanced at Wu Rou's carriage, quickly put her smile away, and said:

"Don't ask so much, just know that they are my masters, and their words are greater than mine. Give me whatever you want."

When Harry heard this, he immediately opened his mouth and said exaggeratedly:

"Ah...this...what if we want to clothe the village? Then we will give it too? No need to discuss it with the master?"

Arthur rolled his eyes at him and said:

"He listens to me, don't worry. You are optimistic about Zhuangzi's business, and don't bother me even if the sky falls."

"Good."

……

……

Wu Rou opened the car window and spoke to Arthur who was following him outside the car window:

"I haven't had time to ask, where is your husband? Why didn't you see him? What does he do?"

Arthur raised his face and said with a smile:

"Back to Madam, there is a regular customer on the western border who needs to replenish goods. He is in a hurry to leave. He has led a team to deliver the goods. It is estimated that he will not come back until next month.

He is from the same clan as me. He was originally a small businessman named Yueshi Zhi. When I first came out of the palace, I was teaching etiquette to the daughters of a small clan. I happened to meet him selling goods from the Western Regions, and we got to know each other. "
