Chapter 271 I feel guilty watching the elders having fun
The three boys, Su An, Su Wen and Su Wu, visited all the famous attractions in Changjing during their few days in the city.
"We're going back tomorrow. How about we bring some Changjing specialties back home?" Su Wen thought. After all, he is an adult now. If he brings some rare things back home, his grandparents will definitely be happy.
Su Wu agreed with him immediately. "Food can't be stored for a long time, so bring some other things! Buy grandpa a big teapot from Changjing, buy grandma a ruler from Changjing, buy uncle and aunt a pair of shoulder poles and baskets from Changjing, give parents a hoe and winnowing basket from Changjing, and buy aunt a pot from Changjing! Bring brushes and pestles from Changjing for Master Du and Grandpa! And Uncle Changdong, Uncle Big Beard, and Uncle Bai——"
Su An and Su Wen walked away in silence.
This idiot is beyond help. Let him fend for himself.
"If this fool can get married in the future, I will take his surname."
"I bet you a hundred taels of silver that he will die alone."
Su Wu chased after the two of them, his face bewildered and indignant. "What fool? What lonely old age? What marrying a wife? I'm going to wander the world as a knight in the future. Who wants to get married? No, don't leave. I haven't finished talking yet! There are still many things to buy! Boss, stop right there. Don't try to hide! Pay the money!"
While chatting and playing, they arrived at a restaurant on the main street of Changjing.
A large group of people gathered at the entrance of the restaurant, watching and pointing inside.
There was a noisy sound coming from the center of the crowd.
"Who are you? How dare you offend this princess? I think you are tired of living!" The first voice that reached the ears of the three people was the drunken voice of a woman, who had obviously drunk quite a lot of wine.
And the voice sounds familiar.
The three young men looked at each other and immediately squeezed into the crowd, and sure enough, they saw Princess Changle standing in the middle of the crowd.
"What? You still want to attack this princess? Haha, you guys are so brave!" Princess Changle was very conspicuous in the crowd in her pink brocade dress. Her face was decorated with delicate makeup, and her appearance and charm were as good as before.
At this moment, she was drunk, her feet were unsteady, and her body was swaying from side to side.
Her cheeks were flushed with the color of drunkenness, and her beautiful eyes were half open and half closed, looking drunken and hazy.
In front of her stood a group of tall men in ordinary clothes. They all tried to suppress anger and glared at the drunk princess.
Princess Changle struggled to stand up straight, her eyes lazily scanning the faces of several people, then she smiled softly and leaned towards one of them.
"Oh, this face is quite to my liking. Why don't you come back home with me and I will let you enjoy the good life and wealth in the future?" The woman laughed frivolously, glanced at the man with seductive eyes, and her slender hands reached out to his waist.
The onlookers' discussions became louder. Although they did not dare to show it on their faces, the looks they gave the princess were full of disdain and contempt.
The three young men squeezed in the crowd frowned in unison, with a frosty look in their eyes.
If they saw correctly, when the princess leaned towards the man, the man's drooping fingers instantly hooked like claws.
Although the man relaxed his hand immediately afterwards, it did not escape the eyes of the three men.
And at that moment, the people around the man subconsciously reached for their waists.
That is the action of drawing the sword from its sheath.
He was dressed like an ordinary citizen and had no sword on his waist. The fact that he made such a gesture showed that his identity must be different.
Every man she picks is a weird one. Is the princess really drunk or just pretending to be drunk?
At this time, a man walked out of the crowd. He was wearing a dark blue brocade robe, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He was as tall as those men. Although his face was not conspicuous, his aura was subtly strong.
If it’s not Broken Blade, then who else could it be?
Seeing him, the three teenagers immediately ducked and hid behind the crowd to avoid being discovered.
I feel guilty watching my elders having fun.
"Princess, you are drunk. I will take you home first." Duan Dao frowned slightly, grabbed Princess Changle's wrist and pulled her away from the man.
Princess Changle was still struggling, and she angrily said, "Why go back to the palace? How dare you meddle in my business? I want to take this man back! Let go, let go! I'm not drunk!"
But the woman was no match for the man's strength and was dragged away. She got into a carriage parked on the side of the road and drove away.
Su An and the other two then poked their heads out from the crowd again, looking at the rear of the carriage and clicking their tongues.
It’s a pity that there is gossip but you can’t see it.
As soon as Princess Changle left, the men who were stopped immediately left the restaurant. The people had no fun and gradually dispersed.
Only then did the third boy dare to speak.
"Men and women shouldn't touch each other. Uncle Broken Blade is such a conservative person, but he actually shook the princess's hand!"
"I remember when I was little, my aunt begged Uncle Broken Blade to save my sister. At that time, Uncle Broken Blade stopped my aunt from kneeling and just held her up with his knife."
"What are you two fussing over? Those guys must be up to something. Let's follow them and see for ourselves!"
On the other side, in the carriage heading to the princess's mansion.
After Princess Changle got into the car, she broke free from the broken knife's grip and regained her clarity of mind, without any sign of drunkenness.
She tilted her head to look out the window and said calmly, "The aura of those people is the same as that of the guards around the Eighth Prince, a very strange medicinal smell. I've tested it, and they are used to hiding soft swords on their waists. It must be that the Eighth Prince has not returned yet, and the people over there have become suspicious and sent people to investigate. Li'er's coronation ceremony is imminent, so tell him to be careful when going out to avoid any complications."
Broken Blade's deep eyes fixed on her cold profile, "I will protect A-Li. Don't do such things again in the future. Those people are not worth your self-deprecation. Princess, take care of yourself."
Princess Changle was silent for a moment, then chuckled softly. She turned around and deliberately leaned towards the man, her jade-white fingers lightly touching his chin, and her breath was as sweet as orchids against his lips. "General Yuan cares about me so much. Could it be that he's attracted to my looks and wants to be my lover?"
Broken Knife didn't move, just looked at the woman quietly, without dodging or avoiding.
The smile on the woman's lips gradually froze.
The carriage stopped with a whoosh, and they arrived at the princess's mansion. He then pushed away the stiff body of the woman who was almost clinging to him and straightened her up.
"Princess, you're trying to play a trick on me. This trick doesn't work. Let's try something else next time. I'm going to find Ali and arrange the rest of the matter. I'll take my leave now."
The woman was placed next to the stone lion in front of the mansion, and the carriage quickly disappeared into the spacious alley.
Princess Changle stood there in a daze for a moment, and her hand unconsciously touched the wrist that the man had held before. Her face turned slightly red, and then suddenly turned pale. She laughed sadly, turned around quickly and rushed into the mansion.
