Gongsun Man's eyes lit up: "You are right."
Yunquan continued, "I've inquired about this. The Yan family's daughter is very spoiled and cries easily. She's well-known for her spoiled nature in the capital of Dajing. The princess's decisive actions will surely scare her to death. What will she not be able to accomplish then?"
"That's great. It's better to do it now than to wait. I will go meet her today."
"Princess, where are we going now?"
"Prince Rui's Mansion."
The carriage immediately headed towards Prince Rui's Palace.
"I've heard that Prince Rui has an extremely cold temper. Will we get into trouble if we go there?" Yunquan suggested again, "Perhaps the princess should choose an opportunity to meet the Yan family girl alone?"
"No need to bother. I'll just say I want to chat with Princess Rui. As a man, he shouldn't have to listen to a woman's conversation, right?"
When the master and servant arrived at Prince Rui's mansion, they were politely told by the doorman that Princess Rui was not at home.
"Not in the mansion?" Yunquan raised his voice and said in a rude manner, "Do you know who my master is?"
The doorman said calmly, "I really don't know who your master is, but it's a fact that my master is not at home at the moment."
Yunquan was about to say something else when Gongsun Man stopped him and asked, "Where is Princess Rui now?"
"We servants dare not ask where the princess is going," the doorman said again.
He didn't know the implication.
Gongsun Man's face darkened and she ordered Yunquan to rush into the mansion. She wanted to go there and take a look in person.
Who would have thought that the doorman would stop me?
"How dare you! My master is Princess Beiqi!" Yunquan shouted, "Who dares to stop me?"
The doorman was stunned. He didn't expect that the other party was so important.
But no matter what, no outsiders are allowed to enter the palace. This is the rule.
He immediately called another doorman over.
Seeing this, Gongsun Man called over the two secret guards who were acting as coachmen.
A quarrel broke out, and it looked like a fight was about to break out. Eunuch Song heard the noise and came over: "What's going on?"
"My princess wants to visit, but these two gatekeepers won't let her in," Yunquan said. "You're the one in charge, right? Why don't you take care of it?"
In fact, Eunuch Song had already heard the maid's shout just now. Not only did he have a bad attitude, he also thought this place was Beiqi's territory.
"My masters are still Prince Rui of Dajing and his wife. The palace is a private residence. Even if the Crown Prince of Beiqi arrives, there is no reason for him to force his way in."
"you!?"
Gongsun Man waved her sleeves and returned to the car.
Yunquan followed in: "Princess, you didn't bring enough people with you when you went out today."
"I can't possibly break in. What will King Rui think of me then?"
Even as she said this, Gongsun Man had already clenched her fists and grasped the whip with her other hand.
She was in a really bad mood after being humiliated, so she ordered the driver to find a restaurant so that she could have a drink.
--
More than half an hour later, at Chengwen Building, East Third Street.
Yan Funing packed up the snacks and dishes suitable for pregnant women and instructed the Wenwu brothers, "Thank you for the trouble. Please take these to the Pang family to deliver to Miss Pang and Prince Jin."
"Yes, miss."
The Wenwu brothers agreed, and each of them carried four large food boxes and left Chengwen Building.
There are tea stalls set up outside every shop on the street.
The two brothers said hello to Caiyu, who was helping to look after the tea stall outside the restaurant, and got on the carriage.
The carriage moved slowly because there were a lot more pedestrians on East Third Street at that moment.
"It's actually new tea, it's so expensive, can I really drink it for free?"
Such doubts arose one after another on the street.
The answer they all got was: "Yes, free tea, everyone who passes by today can drink it. Also, starting today, the tea served in the store is the newly released high-quality tea."
Everyone asked for tea and praised it highly after taking a sip.
"It's good tea."
"Is it a famous tea or a new tea?"
Suddenly, a different voice rang out: "That's all. You've never tasted real good tea, have you?"
The man spoke in a sarcastic voice and looked disdainful, and placed the teacup heavily on the stall.
Seeing a woman causing trouble in front of her, Caiyu thought that she was probably a spy sent by another store to deliberately annoy people.
But now there were more passers-by, so to avoid unnecessary trouble, she greeted them with a smile: "Miss, could you please take a closer look at the teas on offer at the various tea stalls? Let me introduce them to you."
Caiyu walked from the back of the stall to the front, pointing at each stall one by one: "Longjing, Biluochun, Maojian Dahongpao, Junshan Yinzhen, Pu'er..."
"Stop, stop, stop." Yunquan called out, "According to you, these stalls are all yours?"
"You can say they all belong to my young lady." Caiyu said.
One of the passersby who tasted the tea said, "It's really good tea. I've had a few cups."
Yunquan scoffed, "What good can a free drink be? It's awful! Tsk, we even came all the way to Chengwenlou because of its reputation. Apparently, business isn't great, so they're resorting to tricks like this to drum up business."
Is there no good restaurant in Dajingjing City?
A passerby said, "It's true that Chengwenlou's food is delicious, so it's understandable that they use famous teas to attract customers."
Someone else echoed: "That's right, you guys just had a lot of tea, drink it if you want, why are you so mean?"
Yunquan pointed at himself and said, "I'm a bad mouth? I've been living a life of luxury with my master, and I've tasted all kinds of fine tea. If these teas were in Beiqi, they would only be drunk by the lower class."
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately aroused public outrage.
"You knew it was free tea, but you still drank so much. Now you're still calling it inferior tea. Can you please be less mean?"
"You're just a bad mouth. You've been going from stall to stall, trying a lot of free snacks, and now you're saying the tea tastes bad. Tsk tsk tsk, is it just that you can't tell good from bad?"
"What good words can come out of a dog's mouth, and what good tea can it taste?"
"If you have the guts, don't eat or drink the free tea and snacks, just go back to Beiqi."
The crowd glanced at each other and talked, and Caiyu's lips curled up when she heard it.
He immediately retorted, "A bitch's mouth is a bitch, and a bitch's mouth is even bitchier. If you despise the free tea, then don't drink it. If you drink it and still complain about it, then that's your fault. No one here is forcing tea into your mouth by holding your head down."
Gongsun Man, who had been silent all this time, swung out the whip. With a snap, the whip hit the middle of the tea stall, and several cups of tea that had already been poured rolled to the ground.
Two secret guards followed her and immediately overturned two tea stalls.
The noisy sounds attracted Yan Funing out of Chengwen Building, and she immediately saw Gongsun Man holding a whip in the crowd. She didn't expect that she would come to East Third Street to cause trouble.
Gongsun Man was also surprised.
She hadn't expected that she would fail in her search for the Yan family's daughter at the Rui Wang Mansion today, and now she would meet her in such a situation.
"Miss, this is what happened..."
Caiyu stood beside her young lady and explained the whole story.
While the story was being told, the onlookers would occasionally say a few words.
Hearing this, Yan Funing smiled and said, "Everyone says Beiqi is great. Winter lasts for half a year, and vegetables are more expensive than meat in this season. But Beiqi can actually grow good tea, which is truly admirable."
Gongsun Man raised her eyebrows and said, "Emperor Dajing has already agreed to let Prince Rui marry me."
"Oh?" Yan Funing's smile became even more dazzling. "What's even more admirable is that Princess Beiqi is so shameless that she dared to ask me to give up the position of princess to you at the palace banquet."
