"Yes, I want to take you out of the palace!"

Pei Yao held her hand, with gentleness in his eyes.

Hearing this, Fang Yun suddenly became energetic and wanted to leave the palace. It had been a long time since she had left the palace.

Even though life was not easy outside the palace and in the boudoir, at least I was free at that time.

Of course, this does not mean that there is no freedom in the palace, but after staying under the red bricks and yellow tiles of the palace for a long time, it is inevitable that you will also be greedy for the fireworks outside.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Fang Yun was so happy that he ignored the etiquette and pecked Pei Yao on the lips.

Soon he quickly entered the inner room.

"Qingrong, quickly find me some clothes that I can wear out of the palace. Yanwei, go get the jewelry box. I want to choose it myself!"

"But the clothes of the empress are all made in the palace, and there are no ordinary clothes that can be worn outside the palace."

"Jewelry doesn't matter, it's just clothes."

Qingrong and Yanwei looked embarrassed.

Seeing that the emperor is like this, he wants to quietly hide his identity and take the empress out of the palace. Wouldn't it be revealing his identity by wearing the clothes in the palace?

At this moment, Pei Yao came in from the outside unhurriedly and said with a smile.

"Okay, I've prepared everything for you, Hong Zheng, bring it in."

After giving instructions, Hong Zheng took a little palace maid and respectfully brought up a red tray with a brand new dress on it. The style was the most popular in Beijing and the fabric was also excellent.

"I specially ordered someone to make it. You try it. The size should be correct."

Looking at the clothes, Fang Yun's beautiful eyes were filled with a smile.

Finally, he deliberately bowed to Pei Yao Yingying and said something.

"I would like to express my gratitude to the Emperor for your appreciation of the clothes~"

"naughty!"

Pei Yao laughed and raised his hand to pat her forehead.

The two of them laughed and separated, each going to change into his regular clothes.

By the time the queen got the news, the carriage had already left the palace gate.

"The emperor took Concubine Zhao out of the palace?" The queen frowned slightly and confirmed the news.

Yan Li lowered his head, "Yes, the carriage has just left the palace gate. I heard that Mr. Xiaoye and his guards were accompanying him."

After Yang Chengyu's death, no one has taken his position yet, so Pei Yao asked Ye Yunxiao to take care of him for the time being.

So now Ye Yunxiao also works as Kyoto Guard.

"In the past, there were private visits incognito, but this time the emperor accompanied Concubine Zhao out of the palace alone to have fun, which was a bit out of order." Tim Mo said in a low voice.

The emperor's departure from the palace is a big event and must be carefully arranged.

After all, if something goes wrong outside, who can take the responsibility?

The Queen's hand holding the tea cup tightened.

"It's really against the rules."

"Then what are you going to do? Should we tell the Prime Minister? Or, when the emperor comes back, we can go and talk to him."

Min Si bit her lip and asked tentatively.

It's really not good to take care of this matter, or to ignore it.

As a queen, it is a necessary duty to advise the emperor. Especially when Pei Yao quietly takes the concubines out of the palace to play, it is indeed against the royal rules. But to say the least, the emperor is in a good mood. If you go and say it now, you are not trying to offend him. Aren't people happy?

Obviously, the Queen was also thinking about this.

After a moment of silence, he waved his hand.

"Well, the rules in the palace are not all set by the emperor. As long as they are not out of line, I don't have to displease the emperor. My father has resigned once before. I know what he means. I am not putting on airs now. When restraining the emperor.”

Just after getting rid of a Nanning Marquis, the Emperor was very happy. It was rare for him to be arrogant once or twice, and he didn't go too far beyond the rules. So you rushed up to persuade him, but that was not an exhortation, but a restraint.

Can the emperor like to be restrained by others?
"It's good for your Majesty to think clearly in your mind. I also think it's better to just pretend that you don't know this time." Tian Mo whispered.

Minsi also nodded.Although they all felt that it was against the rules for Pei Yao to take Fang Yun out of the palace, they also knew that there was no benefit in destroying the emperor's interest for this matter.

The queen nodded, "Okay, bring the fifth prince to this palace for a look. Also, don't let this news spread to other places."

"Yes."

The two maids responded and retreated.

At that time, outside the palace, Pei Yao and Fang Yun had arrived at the busiest Xuanwu Street in Kyoto.

On the carriage, listening to the vendors shouting and the entertainers singing outside, Fang Yun couldn't help but open the curtains and look outside.

Pei Yao sat next to her and saw that all the light and shadow coming from outside the curtain were reflected in the woman's eyes, shining brightly.

"Want to go down for a walk?"

"what?"

Fang Yun turned to look at him.

"I said, do you want to go down for a walk?" Pei Yao repeated.

"Is it okay?" Fang Yun's face showed some hope, but when he thought about the crowds of people outside, he still shook his head, "Let's forget it. There are many people here and it is noisy. It is not safe for the emperor to get off the car. Let's go directly to the restaurant."

If something happened, how could she afford it?

However, Pei Yao saw what she was thinking, so he just chuckled and immediately gave instructions loudly to the outside.

"Hong Zheng, stop the car!"

"emperor."

"Let's go, I also want to feel the fireworks of Kyoto."

Pei Yao raised his eyebrows and smiled, took Fang Yun's hand, and jumped out of the carriage.

There was still some hesitation in my heart at first, but after getting off the bus and actually standing in the dim light, all the hesitation and anxiety were washed away by the novelty and joy.

Compared to looking out from the car window just now, being in it makes people yearn for it even more.

"Sir, madam." Ye Yunxiao came over and cupped his hands.

Today he was dressed as a bodyguard of an ordinary wealthy family.

Pei Yao waved his hand, "It's okay, I. My wife and I will go shopping before we get in the car."

Hearing this, Ye Yunxiao glanced at Fang Yun, then nodded, stepped aside, and followed silently.

But here, Pei Yao held Fang Yun's hand comfortably and started walking slowly among the stalls.

He missed the market outside more than Fang Yunlai.

After all, when he was still in the East Palace, he often had to pass through Xuanwu Street when he returned home late at night. The bustle and bustle of this street had accompanied him for many years.

Fang Yun had a hard time in the boudoir, but after entering the East Palace, he almost never left the house. Not to mention that after entering the palace, he never left the square courtyard again.

So for Fang Yun, this experience was more of a novelty, but for Pei Yao, it was just a bit nostalgic for the past.

"Husband, look, does this look like a velvet?"

The woman's brisk voice came, pulling Pei Yao back from his thoughts.

This call of "husband" made him slightly stunned, but after seeing the flower-like smile of the person in front of him, his lips curled up unconsciously.

"It's quite similar. The craftsmanship is quite clever."

Looking at the fox lantern pointed by Fang Yun, Pei Yao nodded in response.

The vendors who set up the stalls also had a good eye for prices. One look at their clothes and they knew they were distinguished customers, so they hurriedly greeted them.

"Two noble gentlemen, don't look at the simplicity of this lantern. The lanterns made by the villain are also ancestral craftsmanship. I guarantee that the ones on the villain's stall will not be available elsewhere. These fox lanterns, rabbit lanterns, and tiger lanterns have always been for sale. The best, there is only one fox lantern left today, madam, you have such a good eye!"

"Madam likes it, then just buy one."

Pei Yaohao said angrily.

It seems to be luxurious.

And when the hawker happily took the money from Hong Zheng and was about to take off the lamp and pass it over, a woman's voice suddenly came from not far away.

"Your Excellency, wait a moment!" The woman trotted over with her skirt in hand, bowed and saluted, "I'm so sorry, sir, could you please give up this fox lantern to me?"
