Chapter 375: Bumping into the Future Second Prince's Consort
As evening fell, Xue Chenglun arrived at the posthouse on time to greet Bailixi and Jing Luoquan.
In the end, Jing Luoquan said that he was tired from traveling and needed a good rest, so he decided not to join them.
The third prince was full of energy and had rested for a while. Naturally, he didn't want to miss the good time, so he happily followed Xue Chenglun on the road.
"What is that?"
"Minister Xue, what is that for?"
When Xue Chenglun first heard Bailixi's question, he was able to answer it fluently.
He asked, "Are those women upstairs there for sale? Can I bring two back to the inn tonight?"
Xue Chenglun didn't dare to answer immediately. He looked up at the rich ladies who were watching the night view on the top floor of the restaurant, and his eyes went dark at that moment.
"Your Highness, Third Prince, be careful. These are ladies out for a night out, not the prostitutes you're talking about..."
Bailixi felt it was a pity: "These girls are all good looking, what a pity... If they were in that line of work, they would definitely have many guests."
Xue Chenglun reminded him again: "Third Prince, this is in Dayao, and in the Imperial State. Have you forgotten the lesson you learned during the day?"
When it comes to this, Bailixi is furious.
But he didn't dare to act rashly, so he had to walk forward angrily.
As a result, because he was not paying attention, he bumped into a maid who was walking towards him.
"Who are you? Don't you have eyes to watch when you walk?" Bailixi was originally the one in the wrong, and after standing up, he was the first to make accusations.
When the maid saw it was him, she was furious but didn't dare to explode. She just said, "I was walking properly. It was the Third Prince who rushed towards me, and I couldn't dodge in time..."
Slave?
When Bailixi heard this, he knew that the other party was of low status.
However, when he saw the carriage next to the maid, he became somewhat interested.
"Whose maid are you? Ask your young lady to come down and apologize!"
Bailixi is very proud and thinks that ordinary people would not dare to provoke him.
After all, you are the third prince of Yamato, and these small fry cannot compare to you.
Xue Chenglun behind him was already confused. It had only been a short time since he came out, and this ancestor had already caused him trouble?
However, he was not quite sure whose carriage this was. After all, he had not been in Dizhou for many years and could not recognize all the people here.
"How dare you! You bumped into my maid, and not only did you not apologize, you even spoke rudely to her. Is this how you, Yamato, behave when you're a guest at someone else's house?"
The woman in the carriage had a loud voice, which attracted a lot of people's attention.
Some people have already looked over here, and Bailixi has also discovered that he has attracted quite a few people.
However, he did not back down. He had already lost face at the palace banquet today when he was beaten by the kid from the Gu family. The woman's voice just now was obviously one he had never heard of before, and he had no impression of this maid. She must not be from the Gu family, let alone a princess of the royal family, so he didn't need to take it to heart.
He shouted, "I am the third prince of Yamato. She is just a little maid. How dare she speak to me like that? Who are you? You are sitting in the carriage and refusing to get out. You are actually putting on airs..."
The woman in the carriage seemed to laugh out loud, her voice tinged with sarcasm, "So what if he's the Third Prince of Yamato? Wasn't he silenced by the young master of the Gu family at the palace banquet?"
Bailixi's face turned pale when he heard this. He had never been insulted like this before, especially in front of so many people.
He glared at the carriage, wishing he could immediately pull the woman out and give her a good beating.
However, Xue Chenglun beside him stopped him and whispered, "Third Prince, don't be reckless. This is the imperial state of Daxia, not a place where you can act recklessly. Also, judging by the woman's aura, she's probably no ordinary person. It's best not to cause trouble."
Although Bailixi was unwilling, he also knew that Xue Chenglun was right.
He snorted coldly and turned to leave.
"The prince is in a good mood today and doesn't want to cause trouble. You're lucky."
However, the woman in the carriage spoke again: "Wait, you bumped into my maid and said such nonsense, and you think you can just walk away like this?"
Bailixi stopped and turned back to glare at the carriage, his eyes full of disbelief.
He suppressed his anger and said coldly, "So what do you want? Do you want me to apologize to you?"
The woman in the carriage chuckled, her voice a bit playful. "Of course you should apologize, but not to me, but to my maid. You bumped into someone and spoke rudely, shouldn't you apologize?"
Bailixi's face turned even uglier when he heard this.
Xue Chenglun, who was beside him, saw this and quickly stepped forward, bowing and saying, "My dear, the Third Prince is indeed in a bad mood today. I hope you will forgive me if I have offended you. However, you are a guest from afar, and you also know that this is a critical period for the further development of the relationship between Yamato and Dayao. Our two countries have different customs, so there may be some misunderstandings. You should also consider the country..."
The woman in the carriage was silent for a moment, as if considering Xue Chenglun's words.
After a moment, she finally spoke, "Didn't Minister Xue explain the customs here to the Third Prince on his way back? And no matter how different the customs are between the two countries, the principle of apologizing when you bump into someone is the same, right?"
After saying that, the woman opened the car curtain and got out.
When she appeared, the people naturally recognized her.
"The daughter of the Minister of War, Wen Haiyue!"
Hearing such discussions, Xue Chenglun wanted to beat Bailixi even more. It was unfortunate that he offended the future Second Prince's wife.
It was said that in the afternoon, the imperial edict regarding the marriage of the Second Prince and Wen Haiyue had arrived at the Wen family in the next few days.
He quickly approached Bailixi and quietly introduced the man's identity.
Before Bailixi could do anything, one of his arrogant guards stepped forward and said, "Whoever it is, they dared to ask our Third Prince to apologize. They are courting death."
The next moment, Wen Haiyue rushed over, pulled out the sword from his waist, and knocked him to the ground with the blade.
"You are such a coward! In our land of Dayao, you three princes should think twice before you act. Who do you think you are?"
The guards were stunned. Aren't they said that the women of Dayao were delicate and weak, unable to even tie a chicken? How could this woman be so violent?
Bailixi's face was full of colorful and wonderful expressions at this moment.
He never expected that he would run into such a tough guy when he went out today.
In addition, he already knew that this woman who was about to become the official consort of the Second Prince was the legitimate daughter-in-law of the Queen, and he felt that his vision was getting darker and darker.
He even felt that this was a trap set by Xue Chenglun, deliberately letting him fall into the trap.
Wen Haiyue slowly walked up to Bailixi, looked him straight in the eye, and said, "Third Prince, if you don't apologize today, I'm afraid your Yamato's reputation will be even worse."
Bailixi gritted his teeth, but because of the gazes of the people around him, he dared not act rashly.
He could only suppress the anger in his heart and said to the maid next to him: "I'm sorry."
