Chapter 412 I’m being polite, what are you doing seriously?
Nan Yan's heart skipped a beat.
Looking back, that dark and beautiful face came into view.
Princess Baoyin.
There was a little more arrogance on her face than before, but her eyes were full of inquiry. She looked herself up and down, as if there was something about herself worth digging deeper into.
The daughter of the Si family...
Nan Yan took two steps to the side and then bowed respectfully: "My last name is Si, of course I am the daughter of the Si family."
Princess Baoyin looked at her with disdain: "Although you are the daughter of the Si family, you don't even know what your uncle and father have done."
“…”
Nan Yan had nothing to say.
Arslan went to the Si family on New Year's Eve and said that he wanted to ask his uncle and father about the whereabouts of a person. He also revealed a jade pendant. Obviously, they must have done something in the past and left some clues.
However, the Si family knew nothing about it.
Nan Yan frowned slightly, then said, "I wonder if the princess is willing to tell me?"
Princess Baoyin said, "I don't want to."
“…”
"You don't even know what your parents did, why do you want me to tell you?"
“…”
Nan Yan was a little angry.
But she maintained a smile on her face as she said, "Father and uncle liaised with the nations of the Western Regions and helped Emperor Gao establish his country. Their contributions were truly significant to the nation. We, their unworthy descendants, have truly dishonoured their ancestors' wisdom."
Princess Baoyin sneered, "Indeed."
“…”
"It's really an insult to our ancestors."
“…”
Nan Yan glared at her.
She thought to herself, I'm just being polite, why are you taking it so seriously?
I said those words originally to mock her, but she actually used them to ridicule me.
My uncle was already the Marquis of Bowang, and my father was the Minister of the Ministry of Rites during the reign of Emperor Gao. How could a little girl like me possibly reach their heights?
Seeing her unhappy look, Princess Baoyin sneered again and said, "Your uncle and your father, although they helped your Emperor Gao defeat our Neng State, we Neng people still respect these brothers very much."
“…”
"I just didn't expect that these two people were so talented, but their descendants are so mediocre."
“…”
"Forget about traveling to the Western Regions. If you keep doing this, you'll probably just be wandering around in this small imperial city for the rest of your life."
“…”
"Well," Princess Baoyin smiled faintly, "This imperial city is so exquisite, like a cage, just right for women like you."
“…”
At this time, they had already reached the palace gate, and everyone got on their own carriages. Princess Baoyin naturally would not sit still in the carriage. She climbed onto a tall horse, and in the surprised and even envious eyes of the palace maids around her, she gripped the reins tightly and glanced around.
That look, so proud.
But a woman like her does have the capital to be proud.
Soon, the group left the palace and after walking for a long time in the city, they arrived at the city gate.
Because they knew that the envoys from the Kingdom of Neng were about to leave Jinling, and that the emperor came in person to see them off, many people from Jinling came out to watch the excitement, and the place was already packed with people.
Nan Yan got off the carriage and happened to see Arslan saying goodbye to Jian Ruocheng and the others. Naturally, they were talking about some polite words.
Nan Yan walked over.
As soon as Arslan saw her, he smiled and said, "Lady-in-law."
Nan Yan asked, "Special Envoy, can I take another look at that thing?"
