The guards escorting the Princess's carriage were imposing, exuding an air of arrogance. The eunuch in a blue robe, mounted on a horse, raised his chin haughtily, casting disdainful glances at the street vendors. His eyes seemed to regard them as filthy insects, filled with impatience.
The vendors were somewhat slow to react. When the imperial princes and princesses passed by in the morning, the servants merely requested them to keep their voices down, without forbidding them from setting up their stalls.
"Which princess is this, displaying such arrogance?" A middle-aged man dressed in a gray robe calmly packed up his stall, whispering to the woman beside him, "Even the princes and princesses of the imperial family don't act this ostentatiously."
"Perhaps she is a princess from another small country," The old man sitting on a small stool, smoking a pipe, tapped his pipe and spoke leisurely, "We are the Great Jin Empire, there's no need to bother with these ignorant small nations."
"No, Uncle," The middle-aged man in the gray robe whispered, "That eunuch on horseback is wearing the attire of our Great Jin's eunuchs."
While they were speaking, the eunuch had already ridden his horse to their presence. Upon hearing them dare to discuss him, the eunuch in the blue robe wasted no time as he raised his horsewhip and lashed it toward the middle-aged man in the gray robe.
The whip came swiftly, producing a sharp crack as it sliced through the air.
A sword intercepted the whip, stopping it in its tracks. The eunuch in the blue robe wore a displeased expression and looked at the young lady who had blocked him. She was dressed in two-colored garments, her hairdo simple but adorned with exquisite hairpins. She appeared to be a well-off young woman or a maidservant from a prestigious family.
"Young girl, I advise you not to meddle in other people's affairs," The eunuch in the blue robe saw that the sword in her hand was real and retracted his whip, "According to the laws of Great Jin, commoners are not allowed to carry weapons in the streets. You have quite the audacity, young girl."
"Apologies for the misunderstanding," Yuan Yi didn't retract her sword, but instead stood in front of the middle-aged vendor, "This commoner's name is Yuan Yi, a rank-eight female corporal under the command of the Marquis Chang'an. I bear the responsibility of protecting the common people and, except for when I am visiting the palace, I am allowed to carry weapons in the Great Jin."
"Regardless, a mere rank-eight female corporal, you dare to brandish your sword in front of me..." The eunuch in the blue robe's expression suddenly changed and swallowed his words.
Marquis Chang'an?
Wasn't that the title of Adjudant General Wei Mingyue, the number one female general of Great Jin?!
His face changed rapidly. However, the surroundings were filled with spectators. If he retreated, he would lose face for the estate of Royal Princess Leyang. If he advanced, he would offend General Wei's subordinates. It was said that General Wei and the soldiers under General Hua were particularly fierce. There had once been an official from Qinghan Prefecture who colluded with foreign nation enemies, and when General Wei found out, she had him immediately beheaded and displayed his head at the city gate as a warning.
Thinking of this, the eunuch in the blue robe felt a little apprehensive. Could this rank-eight female corporal really stab him with her sword?
"Who is causing trouble here?" the commander of the capital's guards, upon hearing that nobles were causing a commotion, dropped his teacup and hastily rushed over.
He had heard that the Crown Prince had not yet left the Taoist temple, and if these people caused disturbance to him, it would be troublesome.
When he arrived at the scene, he saw that the Crown Prince and Fushou Junzhu had occupied the best spots to watch the spectacle. He could only helplessly wipe his face.
Oh no, there's no hope left. He stood aside, waiting for his doom.
"What's going on?" Royal Princess Leyang heard the clash of weapons and her eyebrows furrowed. She lifted the curtain of the carriage to take a look and saw that the guards of the capital were surrounding her carriage. She became furious and exclaimed, "This is outrageous! They dare to block my path. Who has such audacity?!"
The guards stole glances at the Crown Prince, who was still watching the spectacle, then they kept their heads down and remained silent.
Seeing that the guards neither spoke nor retreated, Royal Princess Leyang's expression turned even uglier. She even carried a hint of hostility as she said, "Someone, go ahead and see what's going on up ahead."
"Your Highness," one of the servants from the princess's estate came forward and said, "It seems that Eunuch Wang has gotten into a conflict with General Wei's subordinates."
"Who does that Wei Mingyue think she is?!" Upon hearing the words "General Wei", Royal Princess Leyang's expression became even more unpleasant, even carrying a touch of hostility, "This is the capital, not her Qinghan Prefecture. Drive away her lackeys, you don't have to worry about anything."
Hua Liuli heard Royal Princess Leyang's words clearly. She turned her head and glanced at the carriage Royal Princess Leyang was riding in, then she out a faint chuckle.
"Yuan Yu, Yurong," Hua Liuli calmly spoke, "What punishment is appropriate for assaulting commoners in public?"
"Replying to Junzhu, the perpetrator should be stripped of their trousers and publicly flogged ten times," Yurong answered loudly, "For severe cases, they should be sent to the frontier as forced labor for five years."
"In that case, send this eunuch to the Prefect of Jingzhao for ten strokes of the cane," Hua Liuli's expression remained indifferent as she spoke, "Let him understand the laws of Great Jin."
"Good!" The vendors who were watching the spectacle all chimed in agreement.
Yuan Yi intercepted the whip with her sword and hit the eunuch's face with the scabbard. The eunuch, clutching his face in pain, fell from the horse.
One of the clever vendors "accidentally" stepped on the eunuch and picked up the scabbard before handing it back to Yuan Yi, "Young girl, here's your scabbard. Please take care of it."
"Thank you," Yuan Yi expressed her gratitude, and the vendor happily returned to the crowd, continuing to watch the spectacle.
In the capital, there would always be some privileged people showing off their power only to be dealt with by other reasonable aristocrats. He had only heard about it from others before, but today he had the rare opportunity to witness it firsthand. He would be able to boast to his neighbors for quite a few days.
"You... you..." The pain in the eunuch's face subsided, and he stood up from the ground, not even bothering to brush off the dust on his body. He angrily said, "Even though you are a mere rank-eight female corporal, I showed you some respect, yet you dare to be so rude? I am the Chief Eunuch of Royal Princess Leyang's Estate. How dare you?!"
"Heh." Yuan Yi let out a cold laugh and, along with two other maidservants, approached the eunuch. They tightly bound him with a rope, and finding his cursing voice unpleasant, they bought a leftover cold steamed bun from a vendor and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Young girl," a guard from the princess's estate saw the situation turning unfavorable and hurriedly stepped forward, "Please show mercy, young girl..."
However, Yuan Yi completely ignored him. She threw the eunuch onto the horse, mounted her own horse, and hurriedly rode toward the city with the other maidservants in tow.
The guard looked at the eunuch, who held a high position in the princess's estate, bouncing around on the horse like a dead pig. He was stunned for a moment and didn't react until the horse had run far away.
He turned around and looked at the young man and the young lady who were peeling melon seeds by the roadside. The couple was dressed in exquisite embroidered clothes, clearly of high status.
"Esteemed individuals, I am the captain of Royal Princess Leyang's Estate guards. I apologize for any offense earlier and hope you can forgive us," the guard said, "Our princess is eager to return home, so we were in a hurry. I hope esteemed individuals can understand."
"You mean to say that your entourage had been making this kind of commotion all the way from the south?" The Crown Prince handed the melon seed waste to the little eunuch behind him and gave the peeled-off melon seeds to Hua Liuli. Then clapped his hands while looking coldly at the guard, "If you dare to cause a commotion upon entering the capital, it would be better not to enter at all, to avoid disturbing the common people."
"Outrageous! Who dares to stop me from entering the capital?!" Royal Princess Leyang lifted the curtain of the carriage and stepped down, her beautiful phoenix eyes filled with anger.
Royal Princess Leyang was very beautiful, and although she was no longer a young girl, she still had a captivating charm.
She was an arrogant woman, but that arrogance froze on her face when she saw the person who was speaking—The Crown Prince.
She paused for a moment, then put on a gentle smile, "Nephew, it's been over a year since we last met. You have become even more refined."
"It is Benwang," the Crown Prince said coldly.
Royal Princess Leyang was stunned for a moment.
"What Benwang means to say is that Benwang dares to say that you cannot enter the capital," the Crown Prince continued, ignoring Royal Princess Leyang's stiff expression, "The Chief Eunuch of your estate is ignorant of the laws of Great Jin. Benwang will have him sent to the Prefect of Jingzhao to learn the laws. Does Royal Princess Leyang have any objections?"
Royal Princess Leyang's lips trembled with anger. Did it even matter if she had objections when the person had already been taken away?
Could it be that if she said she objected, the Crown Prince would bring him back?
However, she had her own plans for this trip to the capital and didn't want to have a falling out with the Crown Prince. So she suppressed the flames of anger in her heart and smiled affectionately, "We are all one family. Crown Prince, please teach the ignorant servant a lesson on my behalf. I should thank the Crown Prince."
After saying that, she turned to a maidservant by her side and said, "Didn't your Second Miss always want to meet her brother, the Crown Prince? Today we happened to have a chance encounter. Go and bring her here to greet the Crown Prince."
"Yes," The maidservant turned and ran hurriedly, afraid that she would be too late and the Crown Prince would run away.
Hua Liuli couldn't understand the grievances and conflicts between imperial family members. She quietly peeled pine nuts, planning to accumulate a small plate before eating. When she saw the Crown Prince suddenly looking at her, she thought he wanted some, so she handed the pine nuts to him and generously said, "Here, Your Royal Highness."
Royal Princess Leyang noticed the unfamiliar young lady beside the Crown Prince. She had been returning to the capital for a short stay almost every year, but she had never seen this young girl before. Could she be the daughter of an official who had been transferred back to the capital from another place?
She scrutinized Hua Liuli from head to toe in a picky manner, almost wrinkling her brow. She only withdrew her gaze when her daughter, Xie Yao, approached and warmly engaged the Crown Prince in casual conversation.
If it hadn't been for the arrogance of the eunuch from the princess's estate just now, Hua Liuli might have almost believed that she was a gentle and amiable elder.
Xie Yao bore only a slight resemblance to her mother, her eyes shimmering like autumn water, and her figure delicate and graceful like a willow in the breeze, evoking pity from those who saw her.
Hua Liuli unconsciously touched her face. Why did she feel like she was seeing herself in the other person?
"You are much prettier than her," the Crown Prince leaned in and whispered softly in her ear, "The distance between her beauty and yours is probably a hundred and eighty streets."
The Crown Prince's expression was very serious, and if others saw his expression, they would probably think he was discussing something important with Fushou Junzhu.
Who could have guessed that the Crown Prince would say such childish and shallow words to a young girl?
Xie Yao was initially very happy to see the Crown Prince, but when she saw the Crown Prince so close to another young lady, her already pale cheeks lost all color.
Her eyes shimmered with faint tears as she forced a smile and asked, "Cousin Prince, may I ask who this young lady is?"
Hua Liuli's gaze met the other's eyes, then she suddenly covered her mouth and took two steps back. On her small face, no larger than a palm, there was a resolute smile. "I am Liuli, a humble maiden. I have had the honor of meeting the Royal Princess."
Xie Yao's and Hua Liuli's gazes met in the air, causing Xie Yao's heart to tighten.
Her instincts told her that she had encountered a formidable rival. She disliked young ladies who resembled herself, especially when they appeared beside the Crown Prince.
"Does this young lady... not like me very much?" Xie Yao looked at Hua Liuli with a melancholic expression, "If there is anything I have done wrong, please tell me directly. I... I don't want you to misunderstand me and Cousin."
"Why would Miss Xie think that?" Hua Liuli widened her eyes and covered her mouth, looking incredulous. Her expression showed sadness, her shoulders trembling slightly, "I only didn't want to disturb your reunion with the Crown Prince. I didn't expect to be seen as such a petty person by Miss Xie."
She respectfully bowed to the Royal Princess and then turned to the Crown Prince, "Your Royal Highness, it seems that Miss Xie has misunderstood my intentions. To avoid further misunderstandings, I will take my leave."
After Xie Yao's sister passed away, Princess Leyang had not yet submitted a petition to request the establishment of Xie Yao as a Junzhu. Therefore, Xie Yao was still just an ordinary young lady and couldn't be addressed as a Junzhu.
"Wait, you are frail. How can Benwang let you leave alone?" the Crown Prince gently held Hua Liuli's wrist, "Benwang will accompany you."
"Cousin..." Xie Yao watched as the Crown Prince pulled the unfamiliar young lady and walked away. She was unable to regain her senses for a long time.
"Mother..." She looked at Royal Princess Leyang with a helpless gaze. She never expected that the Crown Prince would just leave like that, not giving her any face.
She didn't even know who that seductive little enchantress tempting the Crown Prince was. Once she found out, she would make her regret it!
The guards escorting the Princess's carriage were imposing, exuding an air of arrogance. The eunuch in a blue robe, mounted on a horse, raised his chin haughtily, casting disdainful glances at the street vendors. His eyes seemed to regard them as filthy insects, filled with impatience.
