Chapter 274: Getting into Trouble
Su Chenyu and Bai Yanqing were not in the team, so Li Mucheng and Li Muyuan slowed down, stopping occasionally along the way and waiting for Lian Yuzhao to meet up.
After waiting for many days, Lian Zhao did not see Su Chenyu and Bai Yanqing show up, and he suspected that the two were not there at all.
On this day, everyone stayed at the inn as usual. Lian Zhao came directly to Aunt Xu and asked her, "Aunt Xu, I haven't seen Princess Fengyi and her husband for many days. Could it be that they have disappeared?"
Aunt Xu pushed Lian Zhao away and said, "Princess and Prince Consort have been traveling so fast every day. You should go back to your room and rest first. Prince Consort Lian has time to question us here. You should go back to your room and rest early, so as not to delay the progress."
Nanny Xu's words were very rude and the people who were listening nearby couldn't help but burst out laughing. This Lian Zhao was the real "fragile" one. Ever since he joined the team, everyone had to slow down again, for fear that he would complain about back pain and being difficult to serve.
"Madam Xu, no matter what, you are just a servant. How dare you speak to me like that?"
Nanny Xu turned around and looked Lian Zhao up and down. Fortunately, her princess did not marry this useless man who could neither carry anything nor lift anything. "It would be more appropriate to ask me this question when Prince Consort Lian is no longer a drag. After all, even an old man like me has not complained about the hardship."
Lian Yuzhao's face turned red immediately. He wanted to argue for a few more times when he saw another group of people rushing in from the door. There were several women in the group, each dressed like a Bodhisattva, with their hair tied up with a crown connected to a veil draped behind them, a little cinnabar on their foreheads, red lips and beautiful teeth, and they all looked quite good.
This outfit is so iconic, it is obvious that they are all holy envoys from South Vietnam.
Seeing them come in, the shopkeeper personally came forward and asked them to sit down, have dinner first, and then go back to their rooms to rest.
Li Mucheng and Li Muyuan also took everyone to sit down in the lobby and prepare to have dinner.
Lian Zhao did not dare to make a fuss at this time and sat down obediently.
For a moment, the entire lobby fell into an eerie silence.
Just after the waiter finished serving the dishes, the sound of horse hooves was heard outside the inn, and someone else arrived.
The person who came in was a pretty woman, wearing riding clothes and holding a whip in her hand, followed by several maids.
A maid came to the counter and said to the shopkeeper, "We want three upper rooms."
The shopkeeper replied apologetically: "I'm so sorry, our shop is full today and there are no extra rooms."
"There's not even a room left?" The maid didn't believe it.
The shopkeeper pursed his lips to indicate that the lobby was full of people and all the rooms were booked.
The maid first looked at the Nanyue Holy Envoy, but didn't dare to go over. Then she looked at Li Muyuan, then walked over and said in a bossy manner: "If you give up a few rooms, we can double the room fee."
"We don't mind the small rent. It's getting dark and there's nowhere else to stay." Li Muyuan saw that they were all girls and kindly suggested, "Why don't we squeeze in and give you two rooms so that everyone can have a place to stay at night."
"Then give up one of your rooms." The maid said as a matter of course, and Li Muyuan was angered by her: "People here always insist on first come, first served. We were the ones who booked the room first, and we were willing to give you two rooms because we saw that you were in a hurry. Don't push your luck."
"First come, last served?" The woman repeated these four words and suddenly swung the whip at Li Muyuan. "In this palace, there is no such thing as first come, last served. Whoever grabs the first serve gets it."
