The weak prince's queen

"Prince, Princess, the market is ahead." Mo Feng's voice broke the silence in the carriage.

Chu Xiyue and Xiao Yichen looked out of the car window at the same time, and saw that the front was brightly lit and bustling with people, it was very lively.

"Mo Feng, you, boy, should keep a low profile when you go out. Don't call us Prince or Princess anymore." Chu Xiyue winked mischievously. "Just call me Sister Yue and call him Brother Xiao."

"Sister Yue? Brother Xiao?" Xiao Yichen looked at Chu Xiyue with suspicion.

Chu Xiyue ignored his doubts, but said with a smile: "Oh, safety first, let's call you that for now, and we'll talk about it when we get back to the palace. Let's go!" After that, she couldn't wait to jump off the carriage.

Xiao Yichen shook his head helplessly, but still followed her out of the car.

Upon entering the market, Chu Xiyue was immediately captivated by the bustling scene. The streets were lined with stalls selling snacks, handicrafts, and even jugglers. Chu Xiyue was as excited as a child, looking around with complete disregard for her appearance.

The market was brightly lit and bustling with people. A group of people gathered in front, watching a performance. Chu Xiyue and Xiao Yichen squeezed to the front of the crowd, watching the performers perform acts like breathing fire and breaking rocks with their chests, drawing cheers from the audience.

Chu Xiyue watched with great interest. Although these performances are common in modern society, they were rare in ancient times. She couldn't help but exclaim, "It's really wonderful!"

Xiao Yichen looked at her happy expression, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

"Wow, candied haws! Boss, give me four." Chu Xiyue's eyes lit up when she saw the candied haws stall on the roadside, and she ran over excitedly. Her face was filled with joy, as if she had found a treasure.

"Okay, girl." The stall owner responded enthusiastically, and skillfully took out four strings of red and shiny candied haws and handed them to Chu Xiyue.

"Boss, here's the money." Mo Feng took out a few copper coins from his pocket and handed them to the stall owner, smiling politely.

"Thank you, here you go." After taking the money, the stall owner was busy greeting other customers.

Chu Xiyue took the candied haws and turned to walk to Dong'er and Mo Feng, handing them two of the bunches respectively: "Dong'er, Mo Feng, you guys come and try some too."

Dong'er and Mo Feng took the candied haws with a smile, their eyes sparkling with surprise.

"I...don't want to eat it." Xiao Yichen looked at the last string of candied haws in Chu Xiyue's hand, hesitated for a moment, and shook his head to express his refusal.

"Why? It's delicious!" Chu Xiyue widened her eyes and asked in confusion.

"That's right, Brother Xiao, why don't you try it~" Mo Feng also advised.

"I don't like sweets." Xiao Yichen turned his head away with a determined look.

Chu Xiyue frowned, and suddenly an idea struck her. She stuffed the candied haws directly into Xiao Yichen's mouth: "Then try it, maybe you will like it."

Xiao Yichen was startled by this sudden action, and his mouth was forced to open, and the candied haws went into his mouth.

"You..." Xiao Yichen widened his eyes and wanted to say something, but he had something in his mouth and couldn't speak for a while.

Chu Xiyue smiled proudly and looked at Xiao Yichen expectantly: "How is it? Is it delicious?"

Xiao Yichen chewed it helplessly for a few times. He first felt a sweet taste, then a sour taste gradually came over him. The two flavors intertwined to form a unique taste. His originally tense expression gradually relaxed, and he began to savor this novel taste carefully.

Seeing that Xiao Yichen didn't spit it out immediately, Chu Xiyue knew that he had accepted the taste, so she smiled even more brightly: "I'm right, candied haws are delicious."

Xiao Yichen swallowed the food in his mouth and nodded a little embarrassedly: "Well, not bad."

Seeing this, Chu Xiyue took out the string of candied haws and handed it to him: "Then I'll give you all of this."

Xiao Yichen hesitated for a moment, but still took the candied haws. This time he ate it more naturally, as if he had begun to enjoy the delicacy.

Chu Xiyue watched Xiao Yichen eat the candied haws with gusto, feeling a sense of accomplishment. She felt that she had successfully gotten Xiao Yichen to try something new, and he seemed to like it. At this moment, she felt extremely happy.
