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 lily that has left the world.
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 casual clothes that would not attract attention, 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 excited when Jun Zechen and I left the palace 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 every time he comes out, he still feels a little bit of excitement that he can't suppress.
Miaoyun followed her master, busy paying the bills.
However, the master bought so many things that she couldn't handle it all by herself.
In desperation, they called a few guards to follow them and help carry their belongings.
Along the way, although Su Jingyao was wearing a veil, her outstanding temperament still attracted the silent stares of many people.
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 at 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 about the people.
At this time, there were many people drinking and chatting in the lobby, with laughter and joy, making it 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 an impression of outstanding demeanor, and she was surrounded by servants.
I originally thought she was a young lady from a wealthy family, and most young 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, Miss."
Then the waiter bent down to lead her the way, his gesture 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. It was neither too noisy nor too lively here, which was just what she wanted.
Afterwards, Su Jingyao ordered a few dishes casually, sat by the window, relaxed, and listened to the gossip from the table next to her.
A young man in a blue robe, with a smile on his face and a playful 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 blue-robed young man, frowned and his face instantly darkened.
"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 were slightly white from the force.
The young man in blue robe 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 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 too 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 have to marry her and get upset." The young man in blue robe said tentatively.
"Now that His Majesty has gone to war, the Su family is governing the country. They also have a queen. Not only does the queen have a legitimate eldest son, but she also recently gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl."
"The Su family is at its peak of power. Who in the court dares to go against the Su family now?"
"Back then, my Yan family was no less powerful than 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 naturally he 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 and irritability.
The reason why Dad asked him to arrange a marriage was because he also 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 he grows up, he will at least be a prince. As his uncle, you hold a very noble status."
"If the Chu family's concubine doesn't like you, it's fine to take in some concubines you like later."
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 wants to compare everything with the legitimate son. The legitimate son's wife is a noble lady, and those who can be called noble ladies are all the 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.
