When the world is peaceful, she can marry nearby in the capital and visit her mother in the palace from time to time. But if she encounters troubled times, she may be unlucky enough to marry a foreign prince and will never be able to return once she leaves the palace.
Speaking of it, Yaoyao was very lucky because she was a legitimate princess and was favored. She persuaded the emperor and empress to allow her to leave the palace to study medicine.
It was also extremely rare that Yonglin took advantage of the Empress Dowager's influence to leave the palace and attend the banquet. It was a pity that she did not use the opportunity in the right way.
That is to say, they met the kind-hearted Queen. Not only did she prepare portraits of young talents with good family backgrounds and good learning in the capital for them to choose from in advance, she also specially held this palace banquet so that they could get to know each other and make the final choice.
Otherwise, there would be an imperial decree to arrange their marriage, and they would have to spend their whole lives together even if they didn't want to.
Tian An, Zuo Yunshu and others walked together on the cobblestone road hung with palace lanterns. They did not talk about what had just happened and only talked about the scenery.
Not long after, Yaoyao and Hongtong found them. The atmosphere immediately became lively with the arrival of Yaoyao, the lively girl.
She obviously still remembered that Tian Anxian had just made a wreath for Shu Huai.
She pouted and complained, "Sister An An, why didn't you make it up for me first?"
"You were sitting so high up at the time, how could I tell you?" Tian An's words left her speechless, and she could only sulk by herself.
Just then, a group of palace maids passed by them carrying wine and cakes.
When they saw Yaoyao here, they hurried forward to pay their respects, but in the process, a palace maid who was serving wine suddenly tripped over a loose pebble, and the wine in her hand happened to fall towards Tian An.
Tian An noticed something was wrong. With her current agility, she could easily avoid it, but she had to take care of Zuo Yunshu behind her. If she avoided it, all the wine would definitely fall on Zuo Yunshu.
When she turned around and pulled Zuo Yunshu aside, the wine inevitably spilled over half of her body.
Although she was wearing an orange dress today and it was dark outside, the bright red wine liquid spilled on it made the whole area dark black and was extremely conspicuous.
Besides, it was hot now, and she was wearing thin clothes. The sticky wine kept sticking to her skirt and clothes, which was both indecent and uncomfortable.
More importantly, she was sure that this was definitely the wine produced on her farm. It was extremely fragrant and could be smelled from a long distance away.
If he didn't change his clothes, not only would it be impolite in front of the palace, but the sweet wine might also attract insects and ants in the imperial garden, which would be even more embarrassing.
Seeing this incident, everyone around them quickly gathered around, especially Zuo Yunshu, whose face was full of guilt. "An An, I'm sorry, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't..."
Tian An interrupted her quickly, "Today it's either me or you. We are sisters, and we will be sister-in-law in the future. What's the difference between you and me?"
While the sisters were surrounding Tian An, Gu Jinyan quickly took the cloak handed to her by Deng Xue and put it on Tian An to cover the stain.
Because the masters were talking together just now, Deng Xue could only follow behind with the other personal maids. By the time she realized something was wrong, it was too late.
Otherwise, even if the wine was poured on her, not a drop would spill on Tian An.
The palace maid who spilled the wine realized she had gotten into trouble and quickly knelt on the ground to beg for mercy. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this slave didn't mean to do that. Please have mercy on me, my lady. Please have mercy on me, my lady..."
The commotion here quickly attracted Zhao Yiming, who had been distracted by Tian An not far away.
He strode over, but because Gu Jinyan and the others were present, he could only stop at a certain distance and asked worriedly, "What happened?"
Yaoyao immediately pointed at the maid and complained, "She was reckless and spilled wine on Sister An An's skirt."
At this time, the other young masters who were familiar with them saw Zhao Yiming coming over, including An Yichen who had sobered up.
After hearing Yaoyao's words, they all stopped and walked further away.
Zhao Yiming ignored the palace maid and looked at Tian An worriedly, "How about I take you out of the palace first!"
Of course Tian An would not leave the palace at this time. If she left the palace, then the stage that others had worked so hard to build would be wasted.
As for the palace maid who was shaking like a sieve in fear on the ground, Tian An certainly would not blame her, because she was just a victim.
Tian An saw with her own eyes that it was the palace maid behind her who kicked the stone onto her feet.
After saying to Zhao Yiming, "It's okay."
Tian An glanced at the palace maid, intentionally or not, and then mercifully forgave the palace maid who was still kneeling on the goose-warming stone and begging for mercy. "Forget it, you didn't mean it."
When the palace maid heard Tian An's words, she breathed a sigh of relief as if she had survived a disaster.
Gu Jinyan and the others were busy trying to think of ways to remedy Tian An's situation, and didn't pay any attention to the group of palace maids.
Gu Jinyan, who was about the same size as Tian An, hurriedly said, "An An, did you bring any spare clothes? If not, you can change into mine first! I have two more sets of spare clothes, both new."
Tian An thanked her for her kindness and said, "Don't worry, I have clothes, I just need to find a place to change."
Yaoyao hurriedly said, "Go to my palace to change! Sister An An and I will go together."
Before Tian An could say anything, the maid who had just spilled the wine said hurriedly, "County Lady, why don't you let me take you there? lest we delay the princess and the other ladies' fun."
Tian An's eyes darkened subconsciously when he looked at her, then he pretended nothing had happened and said with a smile: "Thank you very much."
Yaoyao wanted to say something, but Tian An tightened his grip on her hand slightly, and the words on her lips changed to, "Okay then! Sister An An, change your clothes and come back soon. We're not going anywhere. We'll wait for you here."
Tian An nodded, said hello to Zhao Yiming who was not far away, and then left with Deng Xue and the palace maid.
Along the way, the palace maid acted timidly, constantly blaming herself and apologizing to Tian An, and then slowly found topics to talk to Tian An and Deng Xue, trying to distract them from watching the road.
If the road they were taking hadn't been getting more and more off the beaten track, Tian An would have really believed her.
I have to say that the person who ordered her was quite capable.
First, she let the person next to her deliberately reveal his flaws, making her think that the other person was a mantis, and the person in front of her was a cicada, which would arouse her sympathy and thus lower her guard and follow her.
Little did he know that this cicada was actually himself, and the original cicada was actually a oriole.
If it was another girl, she might have fallen into the trap.
Tian An acted as if he hadn't noticed the wrong route at all. He happily followed the maid and asked her with a worried look, "You spilled the wine and you had to take me to change clothes first. The Queen won't punish you, will she?"
She was obviously stunned for a moment, then she said, "The Queen is kind and compassionate. If she knew that I had made a mistake and still ignored the County Master, she would punish me even more."
Tian An smiled and said, "You know the Queen quite well."
Then he suddenly said, "I wonder if you understand me?"
