Chapter 282 Walking without paying attention

Xiao Jin left the palace early in the morning. Su Ying didn't know where he went. She specifically told the people in the palace to ask Zhao Neng and others to keep an eye on the two children before she got on the carriage to leave the palace.

"Where does the princess want to go?" Bai Shuang asked.

"Let's go around the palace first."

"yes."

The carriage started slowly, and the coachman took Su Ying around the palace.

The Prince of Qi's Mansion is located on the busiest street at the foot of the imperial city. No doubt, those living on this street are all royal relatives of distinguished status. The street is so big that four or five carriages can pass side by side without any problem.

As the carriage drove out of the main street outside the imperial city, they could hear the hawking sounds coming from the street. Su Ying looked at the lively scene outside through the curtain of the carriage, a faint smile appearing in the corner of her eyes.

Although she didn't like the palace, she also hoped that Tiankui City could become as prosperous and popular as the capital in the future.

"Princess, it's almost noon. Why don't you go to the restaurant in front to have something to eat? You used to like that restaurant the most."

Su Ying looked in the direction of Bai Shuang's finger and saw a large restaurant with people coming and going.

Su Ying was still very interested in the food, so she immediately asked the coachman to drive the carriage outside the restaurant.

The two men got out of the car.

The guy greeting guests outside the door came over enthusiastically when he saw the two of them.

"Would you two like to have dinner? Would you like to sit in the lobby or in the private room?"

Bai Shuang said, "Give our lady a room."

"Okay, ma'am, please follow me."

Su Ying followed the waiter into the restaurant. Inside the restaurant was a dining hall. As soon as she walked in, she could smell the strong aroma of food.

She followed him up the stairs and almost bumped into someone.

She quickly took a step back and looked up at the other person.

"Don't you have eyes to watch when you walk? If you bump into my young lady, can you bear the consequences?" The maid who almost bumped into Su Ying started to blame her.

It was clearly them who suddenly came out of the room just now, and they were also the ones who didn't look at the road.

Su Ying frowned slightly. Before she could say anything, Bai Shuang stepped forward and stopped her. "We were walking straight. You suddenly came out of the room and almost bumped into someone. Do you think you are being polite?"

Su Ying couldn't help but raise her eyebrows as she looked at Bai Shuang's raised eyebrows, which looked quite imposing.

The maid was stunned for a moment after seeing Su Ying's appearance, and then she showed a sarcastic smile.

"I was wondering who it was, it turned out to be the Princess of Qi with poor eyesight. This is not surprising, everyone in the capital doesn't know that the Princess of Qi has poor eyesight, and she always accidentally pounces on the eldest prince."

"Chunfen, what nonsense are you talking about? How can you argue with others outside?" A graceful figure walked out of the side room.

Her voice was soft but revealed a hint of coldness and arrogance. Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes were stunned when they fell on Su Ying, and then she chuckled. Su Ying noticed that this laugh revealed endless contempt.

Su Ying also recognized the other person, the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Su Yuyan, her adopted stepsister.

"It's big sister. It's been a long time since I saw you, big sister." Su Yuyan came back to her senses after a moment of daze.

"I heard that my elder sister has returned to Beijing, and I was just planning to go see her. I didn't expect to meet her today. I guess my elder sister is here to have dinner. There are dishes in the side room. Why don't we sisters go in and chat about the past?"

Su Ying looked at Su Yuyan, whose every move revealed an air of dignity, and nodded lightly. Xiao Jiang Yuanshi had been extremely strict with his daughter since she was a child. At first, "she" felt sorry for her. Su Yuyan was always forced to study by Xiao Jiang Yuanshi, but he was particularly indulgent towards her.

She didn't have to study or practice calligraphy, she didn't have to learn etiquette, she could be arrogant and unruly. In the past, she thought that this was Xiao Jiangyuan's favor to her, but when she thought about it carefully, she realized that she was flattering him.

He raised his original wife's daughter into a brainless waste, while his own daughter is one of the most talented women in the capital. Comparing the two, it is easy to tell who is better and who is worse.

The most important thing is that the original owner felt that Su Yuyan was very wronged because she took away Xiao Jiang Yuanji's love for her, so she always gave in to her.

Su Yuyan also spared no effort in taking away from her little by little the things that Jiang Yuan had left for her.

For example, the bracelet inlaid with various gemstones that she is wearing on her wrist now. In her childhood memory, this bracelet appeared in Jiang Yuan’s dowry box.

"good."

Su Yupizhuang thought Su Ying would not refuse, because since she was a child, she would never refuse any request made to her.

Bai Shuang was a little worried when she saw Su Ying and Su Yuyan entering the side room. In the past, the princess always listened to Su Yuyan's words, and Su Yuyan's contribution was also partly responsible for the princess's infatuation with the eldest prince.

There was still food on the table in the wing, and even the used dishes had not been cleared away yet.

This table of dishes is what Su Yuyan had left over.

After sitting down, Su Yuyan picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of chicken for Su Ying.

"Big sister, try it. I remember you like the chicken from this restaurant the most."

Su Ying is a person who cherishes food. She uses serving chopsticks to cook on the table, but she doesn’t think it’s dirty.

However, Su Yuyan wanted to use this to belittle her overtly or covertly, but Su Ying was not so easy to deal with.

"Your maid almost hit me just now."

Su Yuyan paused, then smiled and said, "Chunfen, why don't you apologize to your sister right away?"

Chunfen was reluctant, but still stepped forward and bowed obediently, "I didn't recognize you just now, young lady, please forgive me."

"You just said that my eyesight is not good?" Su Ying said lightly.

Seeing that Su Ying was not giving in, Chunfen became even more annoyed, "It was clearly the eldest lady who didn't look at the road just now...ah!"

“Bang!”

Before Chunfen could finish her words, a slap hit her hard in the face.

Su Yuyan stood there in shock.

Seeing Su Ying waving her hands nonchalantly, a surge of anger rushed to his chest.

"Spring Equinox was just not paying attention. Why did Big Sister have to hit him?"

Su Ying's eyes fell on the bracelet on her hand. She could exchange this bracelet for many, many seeds.

"She almost bumped into Princess Qi. Even if I beat her to death, she deserved it."

"Dude."

The guy standing outside the door walked in trembling.

"Princess, what do you want?"

"Clean up this table of food, and serve me another one that is exactly the same. Put it on the account of the Second Miss of the Prime Minister's Mansion." After saying that, she smiled at Su Yuyan, "You have no objection, right?"

Su Yuyan secretly clenched the embroidered handkerchief in her hand. She always felt that Su Ying looked a little strange. Her appearance was still the same, but her temper had completely changed. In the past, even if she was given a hundred courage, she would not dare to touch her.

"It seems that being exiled has made Big Sister become vulgar. The Prime Minister's Mansion is very particular about rules. If Father knew about Big Sister's behavior, he would definitely be angry!"
