In any case, she had sensed it.
This matter was only beneficial and would bring no harm to the sweet shop.
So why not?
A few days later, Gu Yihan visited.
Every few years, the emperor would take a day off to personally go to the streets to take a look.
He wanted to inspect the lives of the commoners and see if they were suffering. He wanted to find out if they had any difficulties which he didn’t know about.
Therefore, every time this happened…
The officials in charge of various places would receive the news in advance and make preparations.
Not only was it to prevent anyone from suddenly complaining, but it was also to check if there were any evil people plotting to assassinate His Majesty on the streets he passed by.
Gu Yihan brought a few officials with him. The two groups of imperial guards accompanying were majestic.
The commoners squeezed behind the imperial guards and raised their heads and tiptoed, trying their best to see His Majesty’s true appearance.
It was not easy to meet the emperor.
Gu Yihan, who was originally sitting in the sedan chair, suddenly lifted the curtain and wanted to get down.
Eunuch Chunshou was shocked.
He hurriedly approached and whispered, “His Majesty, you mustn’t do that. Be careful that there’ll be people who will ambush you.”
Gu Yihan’s dragon robe was golden and his handsome eyes were condensed with an inviolable dignity.
He waved his hand impatiently. “What’s there to be afraid of? I came out to patrol. If I only sit in the sedan chair and be watched by the commoners like a monkey, I won’t be able to do anything else. What’s the point of patrolling then?”
After saying that, he waved away Chunshou, who was blocking his way.
He took the initiative to walk to a stall selling bamboo baskets and casually picked one up to size up.
The vendor standing behind the stall was stunned.
He never expected His Majesty to visit his lousy stall!
He was originally standing there in a daze until Prince Guang ran over fawningly and pretended to scold him, “How dare you! Why aren’t you kneeling when you see His Majesty?!”
The vendor hurriedly bent his knees and was about to kneel.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yihan glanced sideways at Prince Guang. “Are you the one patrolling or am I the one patrolling?”
Prince Guang looked embarrassed. “Of course it’s Imperial Brother.”
“Then why aren’t you scramming to the side?”
Gu Yihan couldn’t even be bothered to brush him off.
Prince Guang volunteered to accompany him on his patrol today, but Gu Yihan ignored him.
Prince Guang waited by himself at the entrance of the imperial city. As soon as the emperor’s large sedan came out, Prince Guang followed beside him.
He acted as if he was a fox borrowing the might of a tiger.
Gu Yihan asked the stall owner briefly about his livelihood.
Although his tone was a little cold, the vendor’s initial fear turned into respect.
The emperor was not as cold-blooded as the rumors made him out to be.
He was still very reasonable!
At the very least, he was very concerned about them!
Gu Yihan was already impatient.
However, he recalled that before he went to bed last night, he had made a promise to his obedient daughter.
While maintaining patience, he had to understand the sufferings of the commoners.
When he found out that the straw basket vendor in front of him had a family of eight people at home and he was the sole breadwinner…
Gu Yihan raised his eyebrows and asked, “Since you know how to weave baskets, do you know how to weave straw shoes?”
The vendor quickly replied, “Of course I do. His Majesty, this lowly one also knows how to weave satchels and woven straw raincoats…”
Before he could finish.
Gu Yihan frowned and waved his hand, calling for the corresponding official in charge.
“Take his name down. I remember that every summer, there’s a river in the capital that’s easily blocked and often needs soldiers to go down to clear it.
“It’s easy to get injured if they go barefoot. In the future, every time that happens, go and buy straw shoes from him. The money will come from the government office. If there isn’t enough money, tell the Ministry of Revenue.”
The vendor was simply stunned by this joyous occasion.
His Majesty had given him a cradle-to-grave job!
“Thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty’s grace is vast and mighty! I wish you all the best and live a long life!”
He said a series of auspicious words excitedly..
