It was like what Zhao Fujin had said

The world outside of the palace was very lively, there were candied haws, noodle kneaders, and tricksters. It was hard to get bored even if someone spent the entire day out.

And the palace was full of towering walls. Sometimes, even food won’t arrive hot. Wherever she went, she had to gain permission from her father.

“It’s not that you think it’s fun outside, but rather, your freedom is restricted.” Chen Mo said with emotion.

“Huh? What did you say about me?” Zhao Fujin suddenly said.

Chen Mo’s expression changed drastically. “Your Royal Highness!”

“You clearly called me ‘you’ just now.”

“Then Your Royal Highness must have heard it wrong.”

“I couldn’t have heard it wrong, my ears are fine.”

Chen Mo chose to remain silent.

“Hmph, you, like Ling’er and the others, respect me too much.” Zhao Fujin snorted in dissatisfaction.

Chen Mo still didn’t answer.

He bowed his waist and waited by the side.

“Forget it, I won’t make this a big deal. Let’s go, I’ll take you to the market.” Suddenly, Zhao Fujin thought of something and said.

Chen Mo nodded, “Roger that.”

…

“Candied haws, sweet candied haws…”

“Wontons, hot wontons.”

“Sir, come on in…”

In the street market, the street vendors shouted. The folk customs of the Great Song Dynasty were relatively open. Chen Mo saw many unmarried girls wandering the streets.

Merchants from the south and the north crowded into each other, and the small streets were filled with a dazzling array of objects, like porcelain from the south of the Yangtze River, agate from the Western Regions, and seafood from the East Sea.

As the Bianliang at the foot of the emperor, the place was still bustling and as lively as ever before, and the order was quite good. There was no sign of panic before the Great Turmoil.

The Great Turmoil, that the simulator said was coming, and the palace, as the safest place, seemed to be true.

Chen Mo was also relieved.

After all, when he took the princess out of the palace, his heart pounded so hard that it was at his throat, and he was constantly worried that an accident would happen.

As a transmigrator from modern times to an ancient world, Chen Mo was also very interested in everything around him.

However, there was a princess beside him, and he had to keep an eye on her at all times, so he didn’t see the scenery on the street, he just secretly glanced at the slender figure of the girl in front of him.

In fact, from Chen Mo and Zhao Fujin’s appearance at the moment, any one was aware of the fact that they came from the palace. Ordinary people, even some children of nobles or officials, knew that the palace was not something they could mess with, so there was no one that came to disturb them.

Zhao Fujin walked around while she glanced at the things around her, like a tourist. She occasionally stopped in front of individual stalls from time to time, fiddled with things, and whenever she saw something delicious or good-looking, she asked Chen Mo to pay.

Fortunately, before Zhao Fujin left the palace, she took her wallet with her and handed it over to Chen Mo for safekeeping.

There were several thousand taels of silver notes and gold leaves.

Otherwise, the five taels of silver in Chen Mo’s hand would not be enough for this princess.

There were no neon lights on the street, but this antique look made Chen Mo feel a sense of calmness.

As he thought of the system’s description, he remembered that if he touched things, it could also expand talent.

Chen Mo also began to touch the antiques on the street stalls.

Of course, whether it was the modern or ancient times, there were always fakes.

Of course, Chen Mo couldn’t tell the difference.

However, Chen Mo was not discouraged, he changed to another after he was done with a stall.

The boss looked at Chen Mo’s eunuch costume, probably because he was frightened by the eunuchs of the East and West Depots. Not only did he not say anything, he also planned to give stuff to Chen Mo for free.

Chen Mo naturally didn’t accept.

After a few stalls, Chen Mo also gained something.

He expanded many blue talents and purple talents.

At the same time, Chen Mo also learned that the more ancient the antiquities, preferably the ones used by powerful martial artists, or the ones that had been sacrificed, the better the talent.

“Chen Hong, don’t you think this little bunny is cute?” Zhao Fujin said to Chen Mo while she held onto a little white rabbit.

Maybe it was because she was having a good time, or maybe she thought Chen Mo was a good person. Zhao Fujin seemed to put down all her guard against Chen Mo and started to call him by his name.

“Cute.” Chen Mo smiled back, he was coaxing her the entire way, even if it was something that was not good-looking, as long as Zhao Fujin asked, he responded with yes.

“Then let’s bring it back to the palace, and raise it?” Zhao Fujin actually asked Chen Mo, as if she wanted his approval.

Chen Mo nodded and just went with her flow.

“Then I’ll leave it to you.” As she said this, she was about to give the rabbit to Chen Mo.

“…”

“What’s wrong?” When she saw Chen Mo’s silence, Zhao Fujin was taken aback.

When Chen Mo noticed that no one was looking at them, he said in a low voice, “Your Royal Highness, this rabbit may turn into a spicy rabbit dish when it arrives at the servant’s quarter.”

“Huh?” Zhao Fujin didn’t get it for a second, and after she digested the information, her eyebrows frowned, and there was a hint of anger on her beautiful face. “The rabbit is so cute, how can you eat the rabbit?”

“It’s not that I want to eat it, but that it has entered the Weiyang Palace and can’t live at all. The empress herself doesn’t keep pets, let alone us as servants,” Chen Mo whispered.

“Ah…” Zhao Fujin sighed and could only return the rabbit to the stall owner, and said in an unhappy voice, “Fengyang Pavilion also doesn’t allow pets.”

When he read Zhao Fujin’s mood was not high, he saw a group of people gathered not far away. After he looked at the place from afar, he said to Zhao Fujin, “Your Royal Highness, there is a trickster there, let’s go and have a look.”

“Trickster, where?” Zhao Fujin jumped up, as if her mood was suddenly lightened.

Suddenly she forgot the unhappiness of not being able to raise the rabbit.

“Right there.” Chen Mo pointed.

Zhao Fujin hurriedly ran over.

Chen Mo followed.

But after she watched for a while, she said, “It’s so boring.”

“What’s wrong?” Chen Mo asked curiously, as he did not see how the trickster did the trick.

“It’s all just a trick, he can only fool ordinary people. When you become a sixth-realm cultivator and open your inner eye, you can see through it,” Zhao Fujin said.

“Your Royal Highness is a sixth-realm cultivator?”

“No.” Zhao Fujin shook her head.

Chen Mo understood clearly, she was definitely above the sixth-realm.

Zhao Fujin didn’t say it, so as a servant, he naturally couldn’t ask any more questions.

The two walked around for a while longer.

Chen Mo glanced into the sky and said, “Your Royal Highness, it’s almost curfew time at the palace, we should go back.”

After Chen Mo said this, he thought that Zhao Fujin was going to get into her princess attitude and spend some more time outside before she went back, but unexpectedly, she nodded as she looked away. “Right, it’s time to go back.”

Chen Mo was taken aback.

I found that I am somewhat in love with Zhao Fujin.

Kind, lively, talented in cultivation, somewhat self-willed, but generally understanding.

White, wealthy, and gorgeous!

…

Chen Mo pretended to buy some spices, and then the two returned the same way.

When he saw antiquites, Chen Mo still touched them with one hand.

Just when he touched a small bronze bell, Chen Mo’s eyes lit up.

[Ding! Orange talent has been expanded!]

This small bronze bell was covered by a layer of patina, and even some moss had grown between the groves of the patterns.

But the whole body gave a “new” feeling.

Just like the bronzeware that Chen Mo saw on the Antique Street before he transmigrated.
