After transmigrating into the book, I helped my mother reconcile with her divorced husband.

After dealing with the miscellaneous matters at the Eastern Palace and arranging the relevant affairs at the shop, the group set off for Yanzhou.

The journey from the capital to Yanzhou by official road would take half a month, even traveling day and night, and that's assuming clear weather and no other distractions. With Han Ting and the Xie brothers paving the way, they're not in a hurry and can arrive within a month and a half.

The first small town we arrived at after leaving the capital was Chunfeng Town, which was very lively, especially at night when it was brightly lit.

Lu Zhiyuan hadn't gone shopping in a long time... no, not just a long time, but many years. Her first time shopping was with Ye Bai. It was their first solo mission, and they returned alive with their commission. They were carrying a huge sum of money, wandering the streets like two idiots, finding everything new and exciting.

Just like in those short dramas, they entered a clothing store that looked very high-end, but were looked down upon by the shop assistants, who called them country bumpkins and told them not to touch the clothes. They also said that just seeing them standing there made the whole store feel dirty.

Ye Bai didn't say anything. He went to the bank next to the mall, withdrew some cash, asked the bank staff to put it in a paper bag, and returned to the store. He put it on the counter and asked the clerk to bring a money counter to check the cash.

It was obvious to the naked eye that the waiter's eyes were shining.

Ye Bai leaned against the counter and asked her if she had enough to buy all the clothes in their store.

The waiter nodded, and his attitude immediately became incredibly enthusiastic.

Even though the money detector was smoking, Ye Bai took the money and led her to the store next door. In front of the saleswoman and her manager, he bought everything in the store next door.

She still remembers the smiling face of the shop owner next door, who generously gave them a 50% discount card. The shop that humiliated them was livid, from the manager to the waiters. It's said that the shop went out of business not long after, because it discriminated against customers who were simply dressed.

Back then, they were young and had some quirky tastes. When they went out on the street again, their aura was completely different from when they first started out. Even if they were dressed like street vendors, no one dared to underestimate them.

Memories flashed through her mind, and Lu Zhiyuan shook her head and smiled. The Crown Prince stared intently at her, not knowing what she was thinking, but the corners of his mouth also curved upwards.

They were dressed casually in rather understated colors, but the fact that the woman was beautiful and the man handsome was irresistible; they attracted a lot of attention just by standing there.

A breeze stirred, lifting a strand of hair from Lu Zhiyuan's forehead. Before she could react, the Crown Prince brushed the hair aside and said softly, "Ah Yuan, have you thought of something happy?"

"No, it's just that this town is quite lively, and I can buy a lot of unique little things that I can't find in the capital. It's in a woman's nature to love shopping, I hope my Crown Prince won't object?"

The last sentence was spoken in a low voice, the two were so close that their breaths brushed against each other. The Crown Prince blushed suddenly, yet he couldn't bear to look away. Lu Zhiyuan noticed his shyness and deliberately stared at him. Their gazes lingered, and the Crown Prince couldn't resist stepping forward, wanting to kiss her, but when he touched the smile on her lips, he snapped back to reality and stopped in his tracks.

"Whatever A-Yuan likes, I'll buy it for you."

Lu Zhiyuan nodded and walked to a jewelry stall with her hands behind her back. In the corner was a pair of inconspicuous bracelets, each with a piece of jade tied to it. One was red, and the other was green, and they looked particularly well-matched together.

Lu Zhiyuan picked up the pair of bracelets, compared the red one to her own wrist, and handed the green one to the Crown Prince.

"Ah Yuan is going to give me this green one?"

"Does my husband find it not precious enough? It is a bit small, but its quality is excellent." Lu Zhiyuan put the bracelet with the red jade on her wrist. Her skin was already fair, which made the red jade look even more beautiful.

Upon seeing this, the stall owner immediately praised, "This jade is fortunate to have met you, young lady. Look how beautiful you make it look! To be honest, this jade is of the highest quality, from the jade mines near my hometown. These small pieces are scraps, unsuitable for anything else, so I used them to string on a bracelet. Don't underestimate this small piece; its texture and color are excellent. To tell you the truth, wealthy people look down on these bracelets, finding them too small and inferior to jade or gold bracelets, which exude more elegance. Those without money can't afford them either. Even though this jade is small, it's still fine jade, and just this one costs one tael of silver. Ordinary people wouldn't be willing to spend one tael of silver on something like this. Besides, I don't sell these bracelets individually; you have to buy a pair."

The prince gestured, and the man on the left offered two taels of silver. The stall owner beamed and gave them two sachets as well. The sachets were also a pair, with very interesting embroidery. The man's sachet was dark green, embroidered with a magnolia tree. The woman's sachet was red, embroidered with two butterflies.

The Crown Prince handed the bracelet to Lu Zhiyuan: "A-Yuan, help me put it on. I think it looks good on you."

"Does my husband really want to wear it, or is he just wearing it to please me?"

"I want to be a couple with A-Yuan."

This prince has become increasingly mushy since getting married.

The prince chuckled softly and gently pinched the tip of her nose: "My lady, don't get the wrong idea. What I mean is that we should wear the exact same thing."

As she spoke, she placed her hand next to Lu Zhiyuan's: "A perfect pair!"

"Tch!" Lu Zhiyuan bared her teeth at the Crown Prince, causing the stall owner next to her to cover his mouth and laugh.

The Crown Prince turned to the stall owner and said, "Thank you for the bracelet! There's something wrong with you, stall owner. It's not 'young lady,' it's 'madam.' Ah Yuan is my lawfully wedded wife."

The stall owner quickly said, "They are a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman!"

The prince said, “It is my good fortune. I am much older than my wife, but fortunately she does not mind, so I was able to win her heart.”

Glib tongue.

Lu Zhiyuan pinched him lightly, then continued looking around the street. Just as she had said, she was looking at all sorts of trinkets. Seeing that she was happy, the Crown Prince didn't stop her, and had Zuo Yi give her his money pouch, so she could pay and take the items.

At that moment, a pair of women leading children were talking behind them.

"Have you heard? The Black Goddess is asking for offerings again."

"Alas! These children are the apple of their parents' eyes. I wonder which family will be unlucky tomorrow."

"Luckily, our son is a boy. If it were a girl, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to sleep well tonight."

"Stop talking, people will think we're showing off." The man sighed again: "Isn't my second brother's Cui'er five years old? Surely it won't be his turn for the ancestral rites?"

"I asked my mother-in-law this morning, and she said that Cui'er won't be five years old until next month." The woman sighed, "My second brother is a good man, but it's a pity that he married such a wife, which has caused Cui'er to suffer since she was little. As her aunt, I feel sorry for her, but I'm only feeling sorry for her because I'm sorry for her. Although my mother-in-law is my mother, my second brother-in-law is disrespectful to her elders. It's good enough if she doesn't talk back to me every day, let alone listen to my advice."

"Sigh!" The man sighed again, "Every family has its own problems, let's take care of ourselves first."

After saying that, she stopped and said to her son, "Mao'er, listen to your parents. From tomorrow onwards, stay at home and wait until the memorial day is over before going out to play."
