Mayi spoke somewhat absentmindedly.
She was preoccupied with worries because of the visit of the barbarian leader.
She wondered what her father and that Chanyu had said.
She didn't have the courage to go back to the palace.
She didn't want to go back either. After spending the last two days with Qiu Yan and Qin Susu, she realized that she didn't have a single close friend.
Like Qiu Yan and Qin Susu, they are close friends.
These two people were not afraid of her, nor were they intimidated by her; she felt it was very real.
"Uncle Yuan, you've come too." Qin Susu greeted him sweetly upon seeing Captain Yuan.
Captain Yuan smiled and nodded, glancing at Mayi.
Could this woman from the Western Regions be the translator Xiaoyan found for him?
Although her face was veiled in white, this woman still possessed a truly remarkable air about her.
One word: Beautiful!
Qiu Yan asked Qin Susu and Mayi,
Have you had dinner yet?
Qin Susu shook her head vigorously.
"No."
The coins Qiu Yan gave her that morning were completely eaten up by her and Princess Mayi over one meal.
Her life was never planned.
This is why Qiu Yan gave her as much as she used.
Princess Mayi was always surrounded by servants when she went out, so she didn't have the habit of carrying her own money.
Qiu Yan glanced at Ling Ba, who then took out two roasted lamb legs from a paper bag behind him.
Qin Susu's eyes were full of longing.
"I knew it! The air smelled like barbecue as soon as you arrived."
Smelling the aroma of the lamb leg, she immediately reached out to give Qiu Yan a big hug. Qiu Yan dodged, and Qin Susu stumbled, almost making intimate contact with Ling Ba.
Ling Ba wanted to avoid it at all costs, so he looked at the Captain Yuan behind him, his face full of suppressed laughter.
"Miss Qin is still as reckless as ever."
"That...it's all Ling Ba's fault." Qin Susu glared at Ling Ba, showing just how much he disliked her.
Qiu Yan sighed, "She's such a child who never grows up."
Mayi has eaten countless kinds of roasted meat in her daily life, but at this moment, she was really hungry, and she couldn't help but swallow her saliva when she saw the lamb leg.
She asked, "This lamb leg smells delicious. Where did you buy it?"
Qiu Yan: "I baked it myself."
"You baked it yourself?" Mayi looked at Qiu Yan again, her eyes filled with amazement.
She had no idea how to roast a leg of lamb.
"Since you made it yourself, I must try it."
Upon hearing that the lamb leg was made by Qiu Yan herself, Qin Susu immediately took the lamb leg from Ling Ba and was about to take a bite.
But then Qiu Yan said:
"Take it to the kitchen and have them turn it over the charcoal fire."
"You're so thoughtful." Qin Susu chuckled, obediently did as she was told, and ran to the kitchen.
In the following time, Qiu Yan introduced Mayi and Captain Yuan and asked her to do a small favor by translating for Captain Yuan.
They couldn't communicate with the jade shop owners.
That night, Qiu Yan and her group of five appeared in Lu Shi Alley...
The street scene at night is quite beautiful.
On the street, Qin Susu kept burping as she looked around.
She had just eaten a large lamb leg, and her mouth was dripping with oil. Mayi only ate about 30% of the lamb leg, leaving the rest at the inn, while Qin Susu ate more than half of it in one go.
You know, that's a leg of lamb weighing over six pounds.
On the streets, pedestrians of all kinds came and went in an endless stream.
As they walked, they entered a grain and oil shop.
Inside the shop, with Mayi acting as a translator, Qiu Yan ordered several bags of flour and arranged with the shop owner to pick them up the next day.
Continuing on, they came to a jade shop.
Inside, the jade is exquisite and beautiful.
Even Qiu Yan, who doesn't usually buy jewelry, thought it was beautiful at first glance.
