Chapter 16: The palace maid Ying'er went to the dock to find sweet potatoes.

 Although it is quite hot in June, the weather is still very cool in the morning.

A thin layer of mist enveloped the city of Nanjing, making the city look a bit ethereal.

In the yard, Zhu Yunzhen was standing on the swing, swinging vigorously.

As the swing swings higher and higher, Zhu Yunzhen seems to be flying.

There are afterimages of the scenery in front of me, and the sound of wind is whistling in my ears.

This feeling makes Zhu Yunxuan very happy.

He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had played so happily.

In my previous life, as a social worker of 996, I was forced to work overtime and had no time to play.

After playing on the swing for a while, Zhu Yunxi came to an open space with Cuju in his arms.

In his previous life, Zhu Yunzhen was a basketball enthusiast, but unfortunately basketball had not yet come out.

But this didn't bother him, so he drew a picture and asked his servants to build a simple basket so that he could shoot the basketball himself.

"I really want to play basketball!" Zhu Yunzhen murmured, holding the Cuju in his hand.

In the past few days, he has been sent on an errand to find sweet potatoes, so he doesn't have to go to the palace to study, and can fish openly.

It is a rare opportunity to have a good time, and Zhu Yunzhen cherishes this time very much.

After all, it’s very tiring to deal with a person like Lao Zhu.

Since you have become a child through time travel, you should have the happiness of a child.

What's wrong with having fun?

Carefree childhood is a time that many people want to go back to but cannot go back to?

Zhu Yunxuan heard a sentence.

What you hate today is the tomorrow of those who died yesterday.

The present you despise is the past that cannot be returned to in the future.

In this case, why not cherish the present moment?

Cuju drew arcs in the air, sometimes scoring goals, sometimes not.

Zhu Yunxuan enjoys this carefree and playful life very much.

In a daze, he seemed to have returned to his childhood.

The throne and Lao Zhu are all forgotten. Having fun is the most important thing.

After playing for a long time, Zhu Yunzhen felt a little tired. After all, he was still just a seven or eight-year-old child.

After eating, Zhu Yunxi planned to leave the house and go for a walk on the street.

Generally speaking, with Zhu Yunzhen's status and age, he cannot go out easily.

But now that he was on an errand to find Sweet Potato, he could find an excuse to go out.

"If I don't go out for a walk, I'm really going to die from suffocation!" Zhu Yunzhen said to himself with a smile.

In this era, there are no mobile phones or Internet, so it would be great to go out and play.

There are many otakus in later generations, but the most important reason is actually the Internet and entertainment equipment.

If there is no Internet, no games, no live TV forum...

It really makes people stay at home in a daze. How many people can live there?

Are you afraid that you will go crazy if you stay at home for a few days?

"I have to say that the ancients were still better at enduring loneliness!"

Zhu Yunzhen sighed secretly, and then arranged for his servants to go out on errands.

After all, although the hope of finding the sweet potato is slim, Lao Zhu confessed that he still has to do his best.

Not long after, Zhu Yunzhen changed into casual clothes while being served by a group of palace maids and eunuchs.

Stand in front of the bronze mirror and look at yourself in the mirror.

Although he is only seven or eight years old, he is very handsome, like a little fairy boy in a painting, with a high spirit.

A well-dressed plain dress makes her look a little more elegant.

A breeze blows, and the belt around the waist dances gently.

Zhu Yunxuan nodded with satisfaction.

At this moment, a magnetic female voice came from behind: "Grandson of the Fourth Emperor, do you want to go out?"

A girl's fragrance came.

Through the bronze mirror, Zhu Yunxi saw a plump girl in Tsing Yi standing behind him.

He is about sixteen or seventeen years old, with fair and greasy skin and delicate eyebrows.

Zhu Yunzhen smiled and said: "It's Ying'er!"

Ying'er is Zhu Yunzhen's personal maid, and she has always taken care of his food and daily life.

Ying'er is the most outstanding among the many palace maids. She is not only proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also knowledgeable and talented. She is much better than ordinary ladies.

Because of Zhu Biao's funeral, she was tired and sick. She rested for a few days and came back today.

Ying'er bowed first and then said: "If you go out on the street, Ying'er must accompany you."

Before Zhu Yunzhen could speak, Ying'er continued:

"Although there are guards to protect us, the fourth emperor's grandson still has many things that need Ying'er to take care of. If the empress learns that Ying'er has not gone, I'm afraid she will blame Ying'er."

Zhu Yunzhen thought to himself: There are people to serve you when you are eating and drinking, you are holding out your hands when you get clothes, you are opening your mouth when food comes, there are people to protect you when you go out, and there are palace maids accompanying you. It was a day that I couldn't even imagine before.

Looking at Ying'er's cute cheeks in the mirror, Zhu Yunzhen nodded: "Then let's go together!"

After packing everything, Zhu Yunzhen took Ying'er and left the house under the escort of several plainclothes guards.

In addition to the four personal guards who follow you, there are also more than a dozen guards protecting you secretly, so your safety is absolutely guaranteed.

In the past few days, the people Zhu Yunxu sent to look for sweet potatoes did not bring back any useful news.

So he planned to go and see it himself. Of course, the most important thing was to have fun in Nanjing.

Walking with Yinger all the way through the bustling city, many people turned their attention.

Zhu Yunzhen was also in a good mood. He looked here and there, and bought a lot of novel gadgets.

Ying'er followed quietly behind her, explaining a word or two from time to time, like a patient little daughter-in-law.

"Yinger, let's go, come with me to the pier." Zhu Yunzhen said with a smile while holding the candy man on his mobile phone.

"Fourth Master, the pier is not far to the east."

If you travel incognito, you will naturally not call your emperor grandson directly.

"Let's go!"

Originally, Zhu Yunzhen thought that after the Ming Dynasty banned the sea, the dock would be in a state of desolation.

However, after arriving at the pier, he discovered that it was much busier than he imagined.

Boats go back and forth on the water, end to end.

Some are pulled by trackers or rowed by boatmen. Some are loaded with cargo and sailing upstream, while some are anchored at the shore and are nervously unloading.

Some people are resting in teahouses, some are reading fortune-telling, and some are eating in restaurants.

Such a scene surprised Zhu Yunxuan, which was somewhat unexpected.

"Ying'er." Looking at the bustling dock, Zhu Yunxuan said.

"Fourth Master, what's wrong?" Ying'er bent down and asked softly.

A burst of fragrance hit his nose, and Zhu Yunxi asked: "Why is this dock so prosperous?"

Ying'er smiled softly and explained: "The fourth master is unaware that Nanjing is surrounded by water on three sides. After it was established as the capital, water transportation developed vigorously due to the unique conditions."

Ying'er speaks in a very gentle voice, like a well-educated and sensible lady.

She explained slowly: "After the development of water transportation, there were more and more docks. It is said that there are tens of thousands of porters on these docks alone!"

"There are even many merchants who secretly came from overseas and brought exotic treasures. Of course, these Ying'er have never seen them and only heard about them."

Zhu Yunxuan was moved in his heart and asked: "Fanshang? Isn't my Ming Dynasty forbidden to sea? How can there be Fanshang?"

A look of surprise flashed across Ying'er's face, she smiled tenderly, squatted down next to Zhu Yunzhen obediently and explained:

"What the Fourth Master said is right, but although the Ming Dynasty banned the sea, it was never completely banned."

"There are still quite a few people who come privately."

Ying'er's little mouth opens and closes, exhaling like blue.

Zhu Yunxuan was overjoyed.

This is simply God helping me!

I thought there was probably no hope of finding sweet potatoes.

But since there are many foreign businessmen coming here, maybe you can actually find sweet potatoes!
