Sui Heng calmly replied, “It’s nothing, aren’t Gu just waiting for you? It’s rare that the little boy isn’t here today. Gu will take you out to eat later.”
Jiang Yun looked at him up and down and confirmed that there were no other abnormalities before putting the ointment jar back.
Hearing that the two His Highnesses are going out to eat, Ji An and Gao Gong are busy preparing the carriage.
Unexpectedly, Sui Heng walked out slowly and said, “There’s no need to be so troublesome. We are just going out and taking a stroll, we won’t ride the carriage.”
With their skills, it was much easier for them to walk without the guards following them. While he was talking, Jiang Yun had already changed into a light tortoise color outer robe and asked Sui Heng, “Don’t you need to change clothes?”
If he remembers correctly, in the afternoon, his entire outer robe was wet by the shower water thrown out by Tonghe, making a big mess of the hem. Although Sui Heng had been in the military for a long time, his identity was still there, and he was also a person who loved cleanliness. He paid great attention to his clothes and attire.
And if they want to go shopping, they naturally need to dress casually to avoid being too eye-catching.
Ji An said that it was negligent and quickly went to pick up his robe. The clothes of the two Crown Princes are both ready-made, and three to five sets are prepared every day for emergencies.
Sui Heng went to the inner room to change his clothes. As soon as he untied his waistband and took off his outer robe, Jiang Yun came in.
Sui Heng was startled and said, “You-why did you come in?”
Jiang Yun smiled and said, “I’ll help you change.”
…..
Sui Heng cleared his throat and said sternly, “No need, Gu can do it. How can Gu labor you with such a thing?”
Jiang Yun said, “I’m afraid it’s inconvenient because you have injuries on your arms.”
“There’s really no need.”
Sui Heng quickly stretched his arm.
“Believe it or not, it doesn’t affect the action at all.
“Not to mention just a little flesh wound, let’s say that in the past, when Gu fought in the North and broke an arm, Gu was not so bad that Gu couldn’t even take care of myself.”
Jiang Yun suddenly looked at him with a pensive expression.
Sui Heng felt guilty. “What’s wrong?”
Did he notice it?
Jiang Yun furrowed his beautiful eyebrows and said, “It’s nothing, I just think you’re a bit strange.”
If it were on weekdays, with this guy’s shameless level, even if he didn’t take the initiative to help, he would probably be fooled for various shameless reasons.
Surprisingly, he would refuse his kindness today.
“Cough.“
Sui Heng remained calm. “What’s so strange about it? You don’t think so? You think Gu is like those two-fifths of noble children who have to be waited to put on a robe? Besides, you, Your Highness Rongyu, have a noble status. How dare Gu asked you to serve? If that Master Fan of yours knows about it, he will have to peel Gu’s skin off.”
He spoke one thing at a time, and Jiang Yun looked at him again before finally nodding.
“Alright, I’ll wait for you outside.”
“You don’t need to rush.”
Where can he not be in a hurry?
As soon as Jiang Yun left, Sui Heng quickly took off his shoes, socks, and inner clothes, then pulled on the inner and outer robes prepared by Ji An to drape over his body.
Fortunately, the summer robe is lightweight and not layered like in the winter one, making it much easier to wear.
Sui Heng neatly tied his waistband and hung a pendant around his waist in a coquettish manner. Just as he breathed a sigh of relief and regained his energetic appearance, he looked up and saw Ji An standing stunned at the screen vent.
Sui Heng: “……”
Ji An held a jade pendant in his hand.
Stuttering, “The old servant was careless and just took the wrong jade pendant…”
The Crown Prince has a noble status and naturally pays attention to his clothing. Even with casual clothes, clothes of different colors and styles will be paired with different accessories. For the refined aristocratic children, wearing jade is essential when going out on weekdays.
Sui Heng’s forehead veins jumped fiercely, and with his hands behind his back, he asked, “Did you see anything just now?”
“No, no.”
“The servant saw nothing.”
Ji An, an old attendant in the palace, had never experienced such a helpless situation before.
“It is good if you saw nothing.”
“Get it here.”
Sui Heng calmly took the jade pendant from Ji An, replaced the jade pendant that he had just worn, and rehung it on his waistband.
Ji An’s heart was shaken.
The moment he saw his Highness about to walk out of the screen, he couldn’t help but ask, “Your Highness, that… Does Your Highness need the old servant to find some ointment…”
Ji An tried to speak politely.
It’s quite big, it seems to be very painful just by looking at it, and he doesn’t know how his Highness managed to endure it.
Although the face is important, but the inside is also very important.
Sui Heng’s energetic figure immediately paused. He turned his head and stared at Ji An with a darkened face. Ji An’s neck was cold, thinking that his Highness was going to get angry. When he was regretting his words, he heard Sui Heng say, “It’s not like it won’t work.”
“You keep it quiet, don’t disclose it.”
“You understand what Gu means?”
Ji An had a thoughtful mind and was known for his proper handling of affairs. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been sent to the private courtyard to serve him. How could he not have understood? He immediately said, “Your Highness, rest assured, the old servant understands.”
“The old servant will definitely be careful, the old servant won’t let His Highness Rongyu know.”
Sui Heng’s face turned black again. “Did Gu say it?”
“No, no, it was the old servant himself who was unauthorized and led a haphazard understanding.”
“En, good comprehension.”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left this sentence and walked confidently out of the door.
In Ji An’s eyes, he felt a bit distressed for his Highness. He thinks to himself that he needs to hurry to the palace and find the best ointment back.
Nowadays, the world is peaceful, and the north and south are interconnected. The streets of the Sui capital are even more lively than usual. On the street stalls, not only are there local specialties from Jiangbei, but also many snacks from Jiangnan are passed down. Occasionally, scholars who come from Jiangnan for tour study can also be seen on the streets.
Considering that his Highness is going on a low-key yet ostentatious shopping trip today, Ji An specially prepared a set of red clothes with wristband sleeves to complement his figure.
The two walked side by side, holding hands on the street. One was dressed in green robe with wide sleeves, warm and elegant, while the other was dressed in red clothes with strong attire, handsome and flamboyant. Although they looked like ordinary, wealthy young masters going out for a stroll, but they still caught people’s attention.
“Freshly baked white sugar sponge cake~”
The shouting came from the side store. Sui Heng asked Jiang Yun to wait for a moment. He turned around and disappeared into the long queue in front of the store. It wasn’t known what trick he had used, but in the blink of an eye, he came over with a box of freshly baked white sugar sponge cake.
“The young man is so handsome and considerate!”
There was also the sound of a woman’s compliments coming from the back.
The familiar aroma of glutinous rice mixed with the fragrance of osmanthus rushed towards his face. Sui Heng opened the box and handed it to Jiang Yun along with a spoon. Jiang Yun dug a small spoonful and delivered it to his mouth, asking, “How’d you get it so fast? Didn’t you have to wait in line?”
This was a question that Jiang Yun had been confused about for a long time.
Sui Heng dejectedly said, “Do you really want to know?”
There were countless lanterns, and his little lover was holding a white sugar sponge cake, taking small bites at a time. It’s really pleasing to the eye. Sui Heng said, “Kiss Gu, and Gu will tell you.”
Jiang Yun didn’t kiss him, he dug a spoonful of white sugar sponge cake and stuffed it into his mouth.
“If Your Highness doesn’t want to say it, then forget it.”
“Actually, I’m not that interested in knowing.”
Jiang Yun smiled and walked forward without looking back.
The aroma of glutinous rice permeated between his lips and teeth, but it was not mixed with the fragrance of osmanthus, but a faint lotus fragrance. Sui Heng pursed his tongue and slowly swallowed it. He folded his arms and looked at the noble silhouette, then followed suit with a smile and lightly bumped into Jiang Yun’s shoulder, saying, “It’s not like it can’t be told either.”
“This is Gu’s unique family’s skill. Gu can teach you how to do it, but Gu afraid that you will feel embarrassed to use it.”
Jiang Yun tilted his head and glanced at him.
Sui Heng said with a smile, “Gu told them that Gu’s wife, who has been pregnant for ten months and is about to give birth, wants to have a bite of white sugar sponge cake right now. Think about it, how can those grandparents not give way to Gu?”
Jiang Yun’s ears reddened as he glared at him, “You’re shameless.”
“Gu even had a wife and a son, so Gu doesn’t need a face.”
Sui Heng once again shamelessly extended his tongue and swallowed a spoonful of white sugar sponge cake that Jiang Yun had dug up. Before Jiang Yun could step on his feet, he lets out a long laugh and quickly avoided it.
“Hahaha, Rongyu, your lightness skills are still slightly inferior.”
Sui Heng’s low laughter came from the side.
Jiang Yun gritted his teeth and stopped arguing like him.
The two of them were walking leisurely, and when they reached a small stall selling lanterns, they unexpectedly encountered two familiar figures.
Fan Qi and Xu Qiao.
Xu Qiao was the first to see Jiang Yun and Sui Heng, he immediately approached them to salute, saying, “It’s Little Sister Fan’s birthday, I happened to meet her, so I came to get her a birthday gift.”
Fan Qi also walked over. He looked at Sui Heng, rubbed his hands, and asked with concern, “Is Your Highness… feeling a bit better?”
As he spoke, he took out a porcelain bottle from his arms that looked quite rough on the surface and said, “This is what my mother made according to our ancestors’ recipe. It invigorates blood circulation, removes blood stasis, and has the best effect!”
