Two hours later, the carriage stopped in front of an inn.
At this time, the area was still within the boundaries of Anping, and it was still half a month's journey to Jing State. Considering the situation of Her Royal Highness the Princess, the coachman was not in a hurry to travel.
People were coming and going on the road, busy with their own work. When the waiter of the inn saw a carriage parked outside, he immediately went to greet it.
"Are you staying overnight or staying at the hotel?"
The driver did not make a decision on his own, but looked at the curtain, obviously waiting for Ning Wan's reply.
Ning Wan in the carriage naturally heard it, "Let's stop by for lunch."
These two short words made the driver breathe a sigh of relief.
The waiter still greeted customers warmly.
Ning Wan responded and was about to get up and get off the carriage when she suddenly froze. She looked up at Shen Jingyi who was sitting next to her, then looked at the coachman outside, wondering whether she should let Shen Jingyi hide in the carriage for a while to avoid being discovered and having to explain herself.
Just at this moment, Shen Jingyi suddenly dusted off his clothes, looking ready to get off the car at any time, and even raised his eyes and raised his eyebrows slightly at Ning Wan.
He looked at the direction of the car curtain again, as if saying: Why aren't you getting off yet?
Shen Jingyi was a little curious about how Ning Wan would deal with it, whether to abandon him or take him with her.
Ning Wan opened her mouth, and Xiaoju beside her also pulled her princess's sleeve. After carefully glancing at Shen Jingyi, she muttered in her heart: Anyway, he wanted to follow his princess himself, so if he didn't want to be discovered, he must stay in the carriage.
Therefore, after seeing Ning Wan stop, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, fearing that his princess would feel sorry for Shen Jingyi and take him away with her.
Shen Jingyi was too calm, as if he had known about this embarrassing situation for a long time.
Mingming was only silent for a moment.
Seeing that Ning Wan did not get off, the coachman frowned. Could it be that the man in the carriage was pestering the princess without knowing the proper manner?
Xiaoju looked in the direction of the curtain, afraid that the coachman would suddenly lift it.
But Xiaoju's worries were completely unnecessary. Even though he was worried about the safety of Her Royal Highness the Princess, the coachman still had a sense of propriety.
When Xiaoju beside him pulled Ning Wan's sleeve again, Ning Wan made a decision, glanced at Shen Jingyi, and got off the carriage directly with Xiaoju in hand.
The moment the curtain was lifted, the coachman immediately turned sideways and lowered his head, but even though the coachman moved quickly, he still saw a pair of feet inside the carriage the moment the curtain fell.
After Ning Wan landed, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she looked at the closed car curtain, with a little more ease in her expression.
How to explain Shen Jingyi's existence? She is a princess, why does she need to explain to a coachman?
As for whether Shen Jingyi could come down or not, she didn't bother to care. It was not something she could stop anyway.
The moment the waiter saw Ning Wan's face again, he was stunned and looked at the carriage in front of him again in disbelief.
This person looks like a princess, but the way she travels is too low-key. Could it be that she recognized the wrong person?
The waiter couldn't help but stare at Ning Wan for a while, but not in an open and aboveboard way. Instead, he looked at her cautiously, as if afraid of being discovered.
Ning Wan noticed the gazes falling on her, but she didn't care and just pulled Xiaoju into the inn.
The waiter followed him tactfully and enthusiastically introduced the signature dishes of his inn, but he was secretly planning to tell the owner about this.
In the carriage, Shen Jingyi watched the heartless Ning Wan abandon him and get off the carriage. He was not angry, but chuckled twice.
He glanced at the clean oil-paper bag again, paused for a moment, then lifted the curtain and walked down.
The moment he saw Shen Jingyi, the driver only felt four words floating across his forehead: more danger than safety!
Shen Jingyi didn't care about the driver's shocked look, but said in a rather relaxed tone: "You know what to say and what not to say."
After saying that, he also walked towards the inn.
A hint of surprise flashed across the driver's eyes, but he quickly understood what Shen Jingyi meant.
This means that he should keep this a secret and not tell the emperor.
But... the coachman thought of the portrait of a face he had seen on the street before. Even if he didn't say anything, based on that face, it was only a matter of time before the emperor heard about this matter.
The coachman sighed helplessly. It was fine. His mission was to protect the princess's safety. As for the rest, just treat him as if he was deaf, dumb, and blind. After all, Her Royal Highness the Princess's attitude was clear.
The moment Shen Jingyi entered the inn, his eyes began to look for Ning Wan.
As expected, I saw the two of them in a corner near the window.
The inn's business was surprisingly good, and all the good seats were occupied.
As for the seat where Ning Wan was sitting, it had only just been vacated a while ago.
The waiter quickly cleared the table and served a pot of hot tea as usual.
Just turning around, he saw Shen Jingyi walking in front of him.
The waiter looked at the face that looked exactly like the one on the notice, and watched the man sitting at the same table with Her Royal Highness the Princess. The thought of reporting him immediately disappeared.
On the other hand, Ning Wan frowned slightly after seeing Shen Jingyi sitting down. She looked at Shen Jingyi's face and then at the reactions of the people around her.
"Actually, I can bring you food." Ning Wan said again with difficulty.
She did not miss the waiter's eyes just now, as if he saw gold, as if he saw a walking five million.
Ning Wan was not worried about whether Shen Jingyi would be caught or not. After all, whether he could be caught was still a question worth thinking about. She was just afraid that there would be endless fighting and killing along the way.
When Xiaoju heard what her master said, she stood up in a rage. Just as she was about to say something, Shen Jingyi's eyes fell on Xiaoju.
Cold, biting, emotionless, inhumane, horrifying...
Xiaoju forced herself to cheer herself up, "Waiter, serve the food quickly, it's been so long!" Then she looked at Ning Wan pitifully and sat down.
Ning Wan: He is really a coward.
Waiter: ...How dare you say that! I haven’t even had time to drink a cup of tea since I sat down, and the chef in the kitchen hasn’t even heated up the pot.
But thinking of the people sitting at that table, the waiter immediately responded loudly: "Almost there, almost there, it will be ready soon."
Xiaoju didn't care how long the waiter meant by "immediately". She only knew that next time, she would definitely not be so impulsive.
Just thinking about what Her Royal Highness the Princess had just said, Xiaoju still felt a little uncomfortable.
"Princess, are you worried about me?" Shen Jingyi looked at Ning Wan with a smile in his eyes and spoke in surprise.
Ning Wan: "Yeah."
Shen Jingyi, who originally thought he would be refuted, waited for Ning Wan's affirmative response.
But before Shen Jingyi could reply, Ning Wan continued, “I’m mainly afraid that you’ll get me into trouble.”
