Su Jingyao got into the carriage, changed out of her palace dress, and took off the heavy headdress on her head.
She then changed into a plain dress with narrow sleeves and a cinched waist that perfectly outlined her slender figure.
She looks very beautiful and graceful, like a beautiful lily.
After Miaoyun knew that her master was going to stay outside the palace, she did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. She quickly asked the guards escorting them to change into inconspicuous casual clothes, and quietly protect her master in secret.
Everything was ready, and Su Jingyao couldn't wait to set off.
I am happily preparing to stroll from the beginning of East Street to the end of West Street today.
I wasn’t very interested in leaving the palace with Jun Zechen before because I had only been in the palace for a short time.
But now he has been locked up in the palace for three whole years, and when he occasionally comes out, he still feels a little bit of excitement that he can't suppress.
Miaoyun followed her master and was busy paying the bills.
However, the things her master bought were so many that she couldn't handle it all by herself.
In desperation, they called a few guards to follow them and help carry the items.
Along the way, although Su Jingyao was wearing a veil, her outstanding temperament still attracted many people's silent stares.
She has a graceful figure and walks lightly, and every step seems to carry a unique charm, which makes her very different from ordinary ladies.
When Su Jingyao felt her legs a little sore, she walked into a restaurant called Zui Xiangxie.
This restaurant is famous for its wine and has a good reputation.
The waiter of the restaurant was sharp-eyed. When he saw her come in, he immediately smiled and greeted her respectfully.
"Miss, would you like to sit in the lobby or choose a private room?"
"Lobby."
She wanted to experience the lively atmosphere.
In the past, when I went out with Jun Zechen, we were always in a private room, and I couldn’t even listen to gossip among the people.
At this time, there were many people drinking and chatting in the lobby, with laughter and it was very lively.
There is also a stage in the lobby, and on the stage there is a storyteller who is speaking eloquently.
However, the waiter was slightly disappointed when he heard this.
I thought a big customer came today.
As soon as this young lady came in, she gave people a sense of outstanding demeanor, and she was surrounded by servants.
I thought she was a lady from a wealthy family. Most ladies from wealthy families would choose a private room.
However, the waiter did not show his disappointment and still had a professional smile on his face.
"Yes, this lady."
Then the waiter bent down to lead her the way, and said humbly, "This way."
Su Jingyao followed him and was taken to a seat by the window.
She looked around with a satisfied look on her face. This place was neither too noisy nor too lively, which was just what she wanted.
Afterwards, Su Jingyao ordered a few dishes at random, sat by the window, leisurely, and listened to the gossip from the next table.
A young man in a blue robe, with a smile on his face and a teasing look in his eyes.
"Brother Yan, I heard that your father is going to the Chu family, the Minister of Personnel, to propose marriage. It would be a blessing to have a wife from a noble family in the future."
After saying that, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
Yan Mufan, who was sitting opposite the young man in blue robe, frowned and his face darkened instantly.
"The legitimate daughter of the Chu family has already entered the palace, and the one my father proposed to me is just a concubine's daughter."
His hand was holding the wine glass, and his knuckles turned slightly white from the force.
The blue-robed young man obviously didn't expect Yan Mufan to have such an idea. He was slightly stunned, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Although the Yan family is also a prominent family, Yan Mufan's father is Guanglu Dafu, and Yan Mufan even has a younger sister who became the Zhaoyi, the head of the nine concubines in the palace.
But Yan Mufan is also a bastard. Even if the Chu family has a legitimate daughter, they will not let her marry the bastard of the Yan family.
Judging from Yan Mufan's tone, he seemed extremely dissatisfied with the illegitimate daughter of the Chu family.
Although the blue-robed young man felt that Yan Mufan was being arrogant, he still had a smile on his face and did not say what he was thinking.
"Brother Yan, since you are not satisfied with the concubine of the Chu family, why don't you reject her? Otherwise, you will be annoyed by marrying her." The young man in blue robe said tentatively.
"Now that His Majesty has gone to war, the Su family is governing the country. The Su family has also produced a queen. Not only does the queen have a legitimate eldest son, she even gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, not long ago."
"The Su family is as powerful as ever. Who in the court dares to go against the Su family now?"
"In the past, my Yan family was not inferior to the Su family, but now, the Yan family has to bow down to the Su family no matter what. My father wants to win over Minister Chu, so he naturally needs me to form a marriage alliance."
When Yan Mufan said this, he slammed the wine glass on the table, making a slight sound.
His eyes were full of annoyance.
The reason why Dad asked him to arrange a marriage was because he felt that the Chu family's concubine's daughter was not worthy of the legitimate son Yan Shuhan, so he asked his concubine's son to marry her.
Thinking of this, an indescribable resentment surged in his heart.
The young man in blue robe smiled, with an unnatural curve at the corner of his mouth.
He consoled her, "Your sister gave birth to the Seventh Prince. When the Seventh Prince grows up, he will be a prince at the very least. As the Seventh Prince's uncle, you have a very noble status."
"If the Chu family's concubine doesn't like you, it's fine to take in some concubines you like in the future."
The blue-robed young man said as he filled Yan Mufan's glass with wine.
Yan Mufan didn't say anything more, but remained silent, with deep jealousy in his eyes.
He has been jealous of Yan Shuhan since he was a child, and wanted to compare himself with the legitimate son in everything. The legitimate son's wife is a noble lady, and those who can be called noble ladies are all legitimate descendants of the family.
But he could only marry a concubine's daughter. Yan Mufan knew that he could not compare to the legitimate son, so he just wanted to marry a legitimate daughter with a lower family background.
