The Cold-blooded Emperor's Vengeful Concubine

The July sun was as red as fire, emitting hot rays that made people dizzy. On the main thoroughfare, people were surging, shoulder to shoulder, and cars were busy and bustling. The streets of the imperial city were centered on the tall city tower, with houses on both sides lined up one after another, including teahouses, wine shops, shops, clinics...all kinds of industries, everything.

There were shops everywhere, with vendors hawking their wares outside; noble ladies riding in sedan chairs passing by, officials and warriors riding horses; young farm wives carrying baskets to buy vegetables, young ladies posing coquettishly; literati admiring the street view, foreign tourists with bags on their backs; young dandies drinking in restaurants, lonely old men begging on the roadside; all kinds of people gathered on the streets of the imperial city, and it was extremely lively.

"This young master really misses the iced mung bean soup made by my lady." A tall and straight enchanting man in a crimson brocade robe smiled evilly and gently waved his folding fan, exuding an air of nobility.

"Of course, the iced green bean soup made by Madam is the best." The woman in light green maid's clothes interrupted. One look at the maid's dress and clothes showed that she was a maid of a wealthy official. Maids from ordinary families could not afford to wear clothes made of high-quality fabrics.

"Ning'er..." She was wearing a light pink dress that dragged on the ground, with a jade belt tied around her slender waist to form a big bow. Her black hair was combed into a bun, and her smart and elegant face was not made up, exuding a light and ethereal aura.

"No problem." He put away his folding fan and gently nodded to the lady beside him.

The elegant young man in green behind him remained silent and looked around.

The group of four people captured the attention of people on the street, each of them looked very noble.

The four people in that group were Baili Haoxuan, Yan Zinuo and Ning'er, who came with Queen Yun Jingman on an incognito tour.

Baili Haoxuan was waving a folding fan with great grace and ease. He said that he came out incognito to understand the people's sentiments, but both he and Yan Zinuo knew that he came for someone.

Yun Jingman, who was following Baili Haoxuan, was not as curious as Ning'er, staring at the excitement with wide eyes. She just followed Baili Haoxuan quietly.

Although she was also very curious, as a modern person, she had seen the palace and wanted to see the market where the people gathered, but she knew that Baili Haoxuan was here to do business. An emperor cannot just sit on a high seat, read memorials, and attend court. There are many things that cannot be seen from attending court or memorials.

Only by truly going among the people can we understand their sentiments and opinions.

Even so, she was happy, thinking about the day when he drank up her whole bowl of iced mung bean soup and praised her for her good cooking. As a reward, he brought her out to understand the people's sentiments.

Knowing that she stayed in the palace all day, taking her out to get some fresh air and relax was also a kind of favor. She deeply felt his favor, his indulgence, and his love, and was always grateful for them.

"Madam, please come and take a look at this jade bracelet. It's crystal clear. It suits you very well." A peddler selling jade bracelets saw Baili Haoxuan and his group of four and knew that they were a wealthy family. Following his businessman's instinct, he approached Yun Jingman swiftly.

"No, thank you." Yun Jingman waved his hand and refused.

"Madam, please take a look. This jade bracelet is indeed top quality and suits your temperament very well." The peddlers ignored Yun Jingman's refusal and continued to pester Yun Jingman with their persistent spirit.

"Really, no need, thank you." Yun Jingman took a breath and said loudly. She thought it was because of the shouting and noise that the vendor couldn't hear clearly, so she raised her voice.

Yun Jingman's voice just happened to hit the ears of Baili Haoxuan who was walking in front. He turned around, looked at the peddler pestering Yun Jingman, a smile of ambiguous meaning appeared on his face, and walked over.

Baili Haoxuan took a look at the jade bracelet in the vendor's hand. It was indeed crystal clear, but there were still some impurities. It was at most of medium quality. He tapped the jade bracelet in the vendor's hand with his folding fan and said, "This jade bracelet, I will buy it. Zinuo, give me the money."

Yan Zinuo rolled his eyes at Baili Haoxuan, a little angry. How dare he treat him as a servant and give him money? And buy it for that Princess Cangming?

However, since Baili Haoxuan had spoken, he couldn't refuse him, and he didn't have the courage to do so. So, even though he had thousands of complaints in his heart, he still took the purse and paid.

Baili Haoxuan took the jade bracelet from the peddler, casually lifted Yun Jingman's jade hand, and then put the jade bracelet on the jade hand with clean and neat movements. He smiled seductively at Yun Jingman, opened the fan, and strode forward.

"Hehehe" Ning'er giggled beside him, and Yun Jingman came back to his senses from his daze.

Looking at the jade bracelet in his hand, it was the first time he gave it to her...

For the first time... Looking at the tall and upright purple figure in front of her, her heart was once again filled with deep sweetness...
