Ning Qing spent a few more peaceful days in the manor. These days were incredibly comfortable, and Ning Qing said that this kind of life was perfect for her.

The system was speechless again and said: Host, aren't you going out for a walk?

Ning Qing: What's so great about strolling around the streets? It's tiring. It's much more comfortable to lie down in the courtyard.

System: I've heard that there are many delicacies in the capital, such as the Fresh Flavor Restaurant, which is said to have produced several generations of imperial chefs. Many people come from all over the country just to taste its delicious food. Also, its fine wines are in high demand. Don't you want to try them, host?

Ning Qing was indeed somewhat tempted by the mention of fine wine: Indeed, fine wine should not be wasted, but cat, your intention to urge me to leave the manor is too obvious.

The system chuckled twice: "Host, isn't it because I also want to try it?"

Ning Qing raised an eyebrow: Oh, cat, you've evolved?

The system rolled its eyes in the space: I'm not a zombie, why would I evolve?

Ning Qing thought to herself: Being watched every move by the people sent by that old emperor all day long in the mansion is really not as good as going out for a stroll and tasting some fine wine.

System: Host, you actually know there are spies of the Emperor in the mansion, why don't you get rid of them?

Ning Qing: Why clean it up? Let him like to monitor me, let him think that everything is under his control, as long as it doesn't interfere with my life.

System... Host, you're just too lazy to do anything, aren't you?

Ning Qing called her maid Cai Qing and asked her to inform the steward, Uncle Liu, to prepare for their departure.

A moment later, Ning Qing boarded a luxurious carriage. The carriage was inlaid with pearls and gems, which shone brightly in the sunlight, making it dazzling and very beautiful.

Inside the carriage, a small table was set with a purple clay teapot and various snacks and pastries. Next to the table was a small stove for boiling water and making tea.

Caiqing was brewing tea nearby, while Ningqing leaned lazily against her seat, twirling a piece of pastry between her fingers and eating it leisurely.

The carriage suddenly began to jolt, and the sounds of horses neighing and people shouting could be heard outside.

Ning Qing reached out and pulled Cai Qing, who was losing her balance, to a seat. She then lifted the carriage curtain to look outside and asked lazily, "What happened?"

Upon hearing his young master's question, the coachman quickly replied, "Young master, this road is only wide enough for one carriage to pass at a time. The carriage coming from the opposite direction asked us to give way and let them pass first."

Ning Qing looked at the large carriage opposite, with the character "Gao" hanging on its lantern.

Ning Qing impatiently rebuked, "Where did this Tom, Dick, and Harry come from that wants me to make way? No way."

In his mind, he asked the system: "Cat, do you know who this other party is?"

System: The Empress's maiden name is Gao.

Ning Qing: Then we can't give in even more, otherwise how can this young master's reputation for arrogance and domineering spread?

System... Host, can't we at least take care of our reputation?

Ning Qing rolled her eyes: I'm not a birdman, where would I get feathers?

system……

Hearing Ning Qing's words, the person in the carriage opposite lifted the curtain, revealing a round head, and shouted, "Which blind fool dares to block the way of my uncle?"

He turned to the guards standing by the carriage and shouted, "Go and overturn the carriage over there! Let's see who dares to block my brother-in-law's way!"

Upon hearing their master's command, the guards wielding sticks immediately surrounded Ning Qing's carriage.

Ning Qing said to his guards, "Anyone who dares to cause trouble, beat them up, beat them hard."

In an instant, the two groups of guards started fighting each other on the road.
