His voice was loud, and he deliberately raised his voice when he spoke.
Sitting in the carriage, Yu Jianjia heard everything clearly and felt a little relieved. However, she still felt that it was inappropriate to park the carriage here, so she couldn’t help but panic.
Yu Jianjia sent Ai Ye away. “Get out of the carriage and check on the situation. Find out which family broke their carriage. If there’s anything you can help with, get Da Tao to help.”
Now that they were in the wilderness, it was naturally better to settle the matter as soon as possible.
Seventh Aunt nodded to herself when she heard this.
Although Third Miss was a little scheming, she was also a smart person. She knew the pros and cons well and would not do anything that was disadvantageous to her.
She was a qualified young lady.
If she recuperated a little more and grew up, she would be able to gain a good reputation in the capital.
With this thought in mind) Seventh Aunt held Yu Jianjia’s slightly cold hand and comforted her. “Don’t worry, there are soldiers from the Third Battalion of the capital patrolling the main road. All carriages have some status when they travel, so they’re naturally from polite families.”
The Yu Residence’s emblem was hanging on the carriage, so anyone with a little status could recognize it.
When others saw the Yu Residence’s carriage, it was not too late for them to back down. Naturally, they did not dare to offend the Yu family’s relatives.
Yu Jianjia calmed down.
At this moment!
Ai Ye returned and stood beside the carriage. She gently knocked on the window. “Young Miss, I’ve asked around. The person who has a damaged carriage is Prince Liang of King Ping’s Residence in Zhenliang Prefecture.”
Yu Jianjia thought for a moment and recalled that in April, the seriously injured King Ping of Liangzhou had brought his heir, Liang Jingye, into the capital.
After that, King Ping returned to Liangzhou but Prince Liang stayed in the capital. The emperor had even specially given him a residence.
At first, there were many rumors in the capital because of this, but not long after, they faded into the background. This Prince Liang became an invisible person in the capital.
Indeed, they were keeping to themselves.
Yu Jianjia frowned slightly. Why was Prince Liang suddenly in the suburbs of the capital?
She even bumped into him?
As she was thinking, she heard Ai Ye say, “When Young Master Liang found out that Young Miss was going to the manor, he felt deeply guilty that his carriage had blocked the way. He came over with me to apologize to you.”
According to Ai Ye, Prince Liang was a polite person.
Yu Jianjia pursed her lips and did not answer.
At this moment, a clear male voice came from outside. “I’m Liang Jingye, the heir of King Ping of Zhenliang Prefecture. Is the Third Miss Yu of the Imperial Censor’s family in the carriage?
When they were outside, they naturally had to be more polite.
Even though he had known in advance that the person in the carriage was
Third Miss Yu, it wasn’t appropriate for him to talk to someone immediately. He still had to personally ask about the other partys background and get a personal acknowledgement.
Since Prince Liang had personally spoken, Yu Jianjia couldn’t pretend not to hear him anymore. She said gently, “That’s me. Greetings, Prince Liang.”
Liang Jingye heard that Third Miss Yu’s voice was weak and she panted slightly while looking as gentle as water. He heard that she was born with a congenital deficiency and was a little sickly. It was not empty talk.
After putting away his thoughts, Liang Jingye said, “I’ve been practicing martial arts since I was young. After entering the capital, I couldn’t help but feel an itch. Three days ago, I brought two guards with me and went out to the mountains near the suburbs of the capital to hunt. I didn’t expect that on the way back, there would be a problem with the carriage. I couldn’t move for a moment and blocked Third Miss’s path, delaying her journey. I’ll apologize to you.”
Prince Liang’s words were polite. Yu Jianjia couldn’t avoid him, so she could only lift the curtain and look out the window.
Prince Liang was standing at the window. When the curtain was lifted, Yu Jianjia could tell at a glance that he was 16 or 17 years old. He was tall and slender, and looked extraordinary.
He was also born with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. His peach blossom eyes seemed to be filled with love and laughter. When he looked at people, his eyes were like the peach blossoms in the peach blossom forest after the rain. They were very charming.
As expected of an heir. Just his bearing was already a dragon among men.
Yu Jianjia retracted her gaze and said obediently, “It’s inevitable that we’ll encounter some accidents when we’re outside. You don’t have to take it to heart. If there’s anything I can help with, feel free to ask.”
Liang Jingye also saw Yu Jianjia. She was young and had already grown a little.
She was like a flower bud, beautiful and weak.
Liang Jingye maintained his etiquette and smiled as he cupped his hands. “Among the accompanying guards, there’s one who knows how to repair the carriage. I just want to borrow Young Miss i s servants to help move the carriage to avoid blocking the way.”
Yu Jianjia nodded and instructed Ai Ye, “Get Da Tao to arrange for a few good people to help Crown Prince Liang.”
Ai Ye quickly responded.
“Thank you for your generous help, Third Miss.” Although Third Miss Yu was young and a little sick, not only was she well-mannered, but she was also thoughtful.
He thought to himself that she was indeed the famous daughter of the Yu family.
Yu Jianjia said politely, “Prince, you’re too polite. My body is inconvenient, so please forgive me for being negligent!”
With that, she lowered the window curtain.
Although the weather was cold, she still felt a little suffocated and uncomfortable sitting in the carriage.
Seventh Aunt poured a cup of chrysanthemum wolfberry tea and handed it to Yu Jianjia.
Yu Jianjia smiled and thanked her. She held the teacup with both hands and lowered her eyes. Listening to the commotion outside, she took a sip of tea.
After finishing her cup of tea and not long after she put down her teacup, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Ai Ye got into the carriage. “Young Miss, Tao Da brought a few people and helped Young Master Liang move the carriage to an empty space. In order to express his gratitude, Young Master Liang gave us some wild animals he had hunted as a thank-you.”
Yu Jianjia nodded. “What wild animals did he give!’
Ai Ye said, “He gave us a lot of pheasants and hares, as well as a big deer.” Yu Jianjia understood and asked, “Have you thanked Prince Liang?”
Pheasants and hares were all ordinary wild animals. As long as one wanted to eat them, they could eat them almost every day. Deers were rare items.
Large families had the habit of eating deer to nourish and increase their lifespan in autumn and winter.
Deers were treasures, but wild deers on the mountain were not that easy to hunt. Whether one could hunt them depended on luck.
Prince Liang was indeed very sincere to give her such a big deer.
Ai Ye hurriedly said, “I’ve already thanked him on your behalf. Prince Liang said that it was originally his fault for blocking your path. After that, he received Young Miss’s help and should have come over personally to thank you. However, they’ve already delayed you for a long time, so its not good to continue delaying your schedule. Young Miss, you’re a young lady. It’s not appropriate for you to stay outside too much when you’re outside. Please don’t take it to heart..”
