She shouldn't have flirted with him recklessly just because she looked good in men's clothes.
After all, men were the most vulnerable to teasing.
Ji Wenyuan looked at Neon Phoenix and saw the annoyance on her face. Then, he curled his thin lips and hid his smile.
"Put on the concealing ointment that the imperial physician sent over. I'll take you out of the palace."
Xia Ling looked at the jade box containing the wax-yellow paste.
This ointment could hide the color of the skin, but after it was applied, it would take three days to disappear.
But looking at Ji Wenyuan's appearance, if she didn't apply it, he wasn't going to take her out of the palace?
Reluctantly, she applied the ointment.
When her exposed face and hands turned yellowish, the originally beautiful young woman looked only a little more handsome than an ordinary man. Her phoenix-like eyes were still as beautiful as ever.
This was the best he could do for her disguise!
"Let's go." Ji Wenyuan reached out and held Xia Ling's hand.
It was fortunate that he wasn't a man, otherwise, who knew how many girls would be attracted to him?
*
He and Ji Wenyuan rode in the carriage together.
For concubine Gong, this was a great honor.
However, for Xia Ling, who used to ride the carriage alone, it was only normal for them to ride together.
They changed the carriage at the palace entrance. The two of them had already changed their clothes, so they didn't hide anything as they walked out of the palace entrance.
Ji Wenyuan was definitely using her as bait to fish out the unstable factors hidden in the capital.
Xia Yuti didn't have the slightest awareness of being bait
He sat in the carriage with a smile on his face.
Today was the day Ji Wenyuan had chosen. The capital's market was bustling with activity.
One could hear the clamor of selling beside one's ears. From the side of the market, the carriage could no longer enter the main street.
Ji Wenyuan held Xia Ling's hand as the two of them alighted from the carriage.
There were three or four guards beside them as they walked in the crowd. Their appearance made them seem like relatives of some royal family who had come out to stroll.
They had always stayed in Yangxin Palace Hall and usually only relied on storybooks and travel notes to pass the time.
It was rare for them to come out, so they were really in a good mood. Feeling the popularity beside her, Xia Ling's mood was exceptionally good.
She pulled Ji Wenyuan and saw the hawker selling the candied haws at a glance.
From the straw bundle, Xia Ling took the big, well-proportioned string and turned to ask Ji Wenyuan.
"Do you want to eat?"
Her lips curled into a smile, and her smiling phoenix eyes were clear and bright as she looked at him.
It was as if he was the only one in her eyes.
Ji Wenyuan's heart shrank. It was as if something had bitten the tip of his heart, causing his heart to beat wildly.
He probably nodded with mixed feelings.
The woman who took the candied fruit naturally handed it to him.
The bright-colored candied fruit was wrapped in a beautiful layer of sugar, and it looked very beautiful.
"Young master Ni, young master Ji can not eat carelessly..."
The guards at the side stepped forward to stop him.
As the emperor, it was Ji Wenyuan who personally came to stop Ni Huang.
Now, the person who was stopped was him.
Ji Wenyuan looked at the woman's phoenix-like eyes, and the smile in them swayed, wanting to disappear.
"If you don't want to eat it, then don't eat it." Xia Ling withdrew her hand.
However, before she could withdraw her hand, the man held it.
Holding her hand, Ji Wenyuan took a small bite of the candied fruit on the top of the candied fruit.
Ji Wenyuan didn't like to eat sour, he preferred sweet.
However, this candied fruit was made very well. The fruit was very fresh and sour.
He just frowned.
