Chapter 946 Different Views Through the Telescope
As the saying goes, you can see far from a high place.
Not to mention, standing high on the palace walls, and with the aid of this magical telescope...
"This is truly, unadulterated, a long-distance view!"
At this moment, Empress Luan Xiying's hands, eyes, and binoculars were completely stuck together...
The camera slowly pans across courtyards of all sizes throughout the city, through crisscrossing streets, and onto the faces of pedestrians...
"Your Majesty, guess what I saw?"
Empress Luan Xiying asked a question while her gaze was fixed on one spot.
"What did Aying see?"
Emperor Hongde glanced at his empress, then looked in the direction her telescope was pointing...
Emperor Hongde took a look and gave up...
Even if you stand high and see far, what you can see with your naked eye is still limited.
"Haha... I saw an interesting mother and son."
There was a little boy whose mother had just bought him a string of candied hawthorns. He hadn't gone far when he tripped and fell flat on his face, dropping the candied hawthorns to the ground...
Hehe... His mother pulled him up and gave him two slaps on his little bottom...
Oh, the child is crying...
I can't eat the candied hawthorns I just bought, and my little bottom got slapped twice. No wonder I cried!
His mother stood beside him, fuming as she watched him cry…
Empress Luan Xiying held the binoculars still, watching and broadcasting the scene live to Emperor Hongde beside her.
"You can see that clearly?"
Emperor Hongde asked curiously.
Of course!
Even the expressions on the faces of the mother and son were clearly visible!
Oh, his mother is wiping her son's snot and tears with a handkerchief!
The little boy pointed to the candied hawthorn that had fallen to the ground, then pointed in the direction the candied hawthorn seller had left, stamping his feet in frustration...
He must be pestering his mother to buy him another string of candied hawthorns!
His mother turned her face away from him, seemingly unmoved;
The little kid was jumping up and down in a panic... Haha... This mother and son are really funny!
Empress Luan Xiying continued the live broadcast.
"Ah Ying said... will the child's mother buy him another one?"
Emperor Hongde joined in the fun from the side.
When a wife is engrossed in her husband's interest, the husband must not be the one to spoil the mood by remaining silent; he must speak up and join in appropriately... Emperor Hongde was well-versed in the ways of husband and wife.
"Maybe..."
Luan Xiying said, "Judging from the clothes worn by this mother and son, although they are not rich, they are not so poor that they lack food and clothing..."
Oh, see, see... just as expected...
Sigh! A mother's love is what it is; she can't bear to see her child cry. So, the mother and child went hand-in-hand to chase after the candied hawthorn vendor… Hahaha…”
Through the binoculars, you can see the backs of a mother and child running hand in hand.
As soon as I lowered the binoculars, the figures of the mother and child disappeared into the distance...
A child might be overjoyed to receive a string of candied hawthorns from their mother, but would also cry uncontrollably if the candied hawthorns fell to the ground and could no longer be eaten.
The mother promised to buy the child another string of skewers, and the child's joy immediately returned...
When a mother takes her child to chase after the candied hawthorn vendor, what she's really chasing is her child's happiness, the smile on her child's face...
This is the simple life and simple happiness of ordinary people!
However, even this simple life and simple happiness require peace and stability to sustain it, and only when the country is prosperous can the people live in peace!
Emperor Hongde thought even more deeply.
He took the binoculars from Empress Luan Xiying and looked into the distance...
Although the mother and son chasing after the candied hawthorn vendor were not seen, the people and objects seen through the lens revealed a much richer and more diverse range of life scenes.
The scene appeared peaceful, serene, and calm.
However, Emperor Hongde knew that beneath this calm, peaceful, and composed exterior lay turbulent undercurrents and unseen conspiracies and schemes.
Emperor Hongde's camera panned towards the east gate...
Hidden there are venomous insects and beasts that cannot be seen in the light, waiting for their chance to destroy Jingyue's peace and tranquility!
Emperor Hongde frowned and moved the camera northward again...
That's the Duke of Anguo's mansion. My Yu'er is there now. He, Rongyue, and the Duke of Anguo's family are probably getting ready for dinner.
After dinner, Yu'er and Rongyue should prepare for their nighttime raid.
I hope everything goes well for them.
They will definitely return safely, they definitely will!
Empress Luan Xiying had no idea what Emperor Hongde was thinking at that moment.
What are you worried about?
What are you worried about?
Luan Xiying snatched the binoculars back into her hands, adjusting the viewing distance while muttering that she wanted to use them to find her maternal family's residence, the Grand Tutor's Mansion, and that she wanted to see what delicious food the Grand Tutor's Mansion had for dinner that night!
Didn't Rongyue say that with this telescope, they could clearly see what kind of food was served in the daily meals of the mansions surrounding the palace?
Empress Luan Xiying adjusted her binoculars, carefully searching for the Grand Tutor's residence.
I wonder what's on the menu at the Grand Tutor's residence for dinner... Will Empress Luan Xiying actually be able to see it? But right now, at the Duke of Anguo's residence, a hot pot feast is in full swing.
