Xiao Yiyan gave a brief explanation and gave some guidance along the way. Afterwards, he had the officials of the inn to settle her down one by one, including the two hundred plus guards. There weren't that many rooms in the inn. After all, there were very few envoys with over two hundred guards. He then suggested that the eighty guards should be left behind, and the rest should be arranged at a nearby inn.
"No way!" "They were ordered to protect me, so how could they stay away from me? It's fine if they don't have that many rooms. Just let the three of them have one. Since they're already used to it, there are ten people living in a tent along the way. "
"Captain Lin, go and arrange something for the three of them."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Yanlan raised her voice to give the order, and a handsome man in a silver grey leather armor responded. There seemed to be some dissatisfaction in his eyes, but he didn't refute her and went down to arrange the residences of the imperial guards and the men on duty.
"Your Highness, can you bring me around?" "Looking at the vast natural resources of the eastern abyss, the capital city is bustling with life. It is completely different from my western scenery, everything is really fresh."
The smile on Xiao Yiyan's face froze. After rubbing his face with great difficulty, he silently nodded his head. The princess had so much energy. She had travelled thousands of miles to Dongyuan Capital City, but she was still in high spirits as she strolled along the streets.
He imagined the scene when he was shopping outside and was extremely annoyed.
On the main street, Xiao Yi and Gu Qing Li were shopping.
Originally, they didn't have this sort of leisure time, but Gu Qing Li believed that since Princess Lan Xun wanted to make Xiao Yi happy for her, it was necessary for them to meet each other and give her a new gift.
However, after strolling through three streets, they still hadn't found a new and precious gift. Xiao Yi Xiu couldn't help but feel annoyed.
Gu Qingli gave him a nudge and laughed. "It's the same for men. They're all depressed when they go shopping with women."
"I'm not depressed. If I were to accompany you, it wouldn't be a problem to stroll around for a long time. But now, I'm buying a present for a Princess Xi Lin that I've never met." "Say it, you don't know what she looks like, what her personality is, or what she likes. Just blindly buy it according to your own thoughts …"
"Then what can you expect Prince Chen to buy for her?"
"That's true, Ah Yan really doesn't want to marry … "Hey, what are you doing?"
They were walking on the busiest commercial street, the bustling crowd almost touching each other. In the middle of it, a young man agilely moved through the crowd, and when he approached them, he brushed past Gu Qing Li like a loach and bumped into her.
Gu Qingli almost staggered from the impact. Fortunately, her kung fu was good and her balance was good. She only needed to twist her body slightly to stabilize herself before turning back to look.
"Halt!" Xiao Yi Xiu also turned around and shouted.
"Forget it, he was knocked over by someone. It shouldn't be intentional." Gu Qing Li was alert and alert, but when she felt that her valuables and purse were with her, she didn't mind.
On the other hand, Xiao Yi Xiu's expression was as cold as ice. He let go of her and quickly leaped up, landing on the back of the young man. His fingertips touched the back of his shoulder as he suddenly felt a rebound.
The youth suddenly spun around and waved his palm like a blade as he attacked. He actually had some skill.
Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows. He didn't even know anything about this little bit of cat fighting, but he couldn't afford to cause a ruckus in the streets. If this situation were to get out of hand, it would inevitably get into the ears of others, and he wouldn't be able to hide his recovery from others.
The silver light faded in the blink of an eye, and within ten moves, it had forced back the youth. Gu Qing Li's entire body was numb, and he was completely unaware of what had happened to him. He lost his balance and fell to the ground, struggling a few times before being able to get up.
Gu Qingli looked down at his raised face and couldn't help but be surprised.
This youth was dressed in dark brown cloth, and he looked no different from any other ordinary kid. However, he had a pair of clear and bright eyes, and his long eyelashes flickered like two rows of small brushes. His snow-white, delicate face carried seventy percent arrogance and thirty percent hostility.
No matter how he looked at it, this person didn't seem like an impudent youth. Rather, he seemed more like a royal child who was casually travelling. The noble and aloof aura that he emitted was definitely not something that an ordinary family could cultivate.
"Why aren't you helping me up?" The youth's entire body went limp and numb. He pressed his hand to the ground with a look of disdain, feeling powerless to stand up on his own.
When Gu Qingli heard his arrogant tone, a faint smile appeared on her face. She looked down at him mockingly. She really didn't understand where he had come from. She was already in such a sorry state, yet her face was still filled with haughtiness.
"I'm sorry, but men and women shouldn't be too intimate with each other. It's better if young master gets up by himself." Gu Qingli simply stood there leisurely with her arms crossed. She had the look of someone who didn't mind the commotion, but wanted to see how arrogant he was and how he would stand up on his own.
The youth's face stiffened as his gaze flashed across her face, but he stubbornly refused to beg.
He tried for a long time but couldn't. He bit his lower lip and glared at Xiao Yixiu. "Help me up."
Xiao Yixiu had never been done in by anyone in his entire life. His eyes twitched, but after some thought, he still went forward to help him up.
However, even after he stood up, he still couldn't stand still. His legs felt like thousands of needles were stabbing into them. The pain was excruciating. He let out a soft cry as he fell into Xiao Yi Xiu's arms.
Instinctively, Xiao Yixiu embraced her body. Suddenly, he felt something strange in his embrace: it was soft and slender, and there was even a light, elegant fragrance coming from his nose. He subconsciously let go of his hand and took a step back.
The youth lost the support and couldn't keep his body steady. He fell down again and again, but this time he fell heavily into the air. It was so painful that he gasped for breath, and his pair of bright eyes instantly became watery, as if he was about to cry at any time.
Even so, he did not utter a word of pleading, and his tone was still domineering: "Do you know who I am? You actually dare to treat me like this, sooner or later you will not even be able to cry! "
Gu Qing Li couldn't help but laugh. He leaned close to Xiao Yi Xiu and whispered, "You're too bad."
Xiao Yi Xiu looked innocent. "I didn't do it on purpose. Men and women shouldn't be so intimate with each other."
Gu Qingli's smile froze. She turned to look at him, then looked at the teenager on the ground. "You said he's … "A woman?"
"You can smell women, but there's no mistaking it." Xiao Yi Xiu lightly shook his sleeves. "Young lady's house is so fierce. You'd better be careful not to get married in the future."
The youth's expression instantly turned awkward and angry. He glared hatefully at Gu Qingli and asked, "What did you do to me?"
Gu Qingli's face darkened as she sneered, "Didn't you say you had a pretty big mouth? You should think of a way to stand up yourself."
Gu Qingli hadn't gone to help him because she thought she was a man. She didn't expect him to be a girl disguised as a woman. As a woman, she didn't hesitate to fall into Xiao Yi Xiu's arms. Her jealousy intensified, and her impression of the young girl became even worse.
"It was you who used such a vile method to make me fall. How did I offend you?"
At first, Xiao Yi Xiu had treated her as a man and thought that she was deliberately eating Gu Qing Li's tofu. Of course, he wasn't happy, but now that he knew she was a woman, his expression softened a lot as he said to Gu Qing Li, "Forget it."
