Chapter 310: Arrived in the Capital
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“By the way, I heard of Princess Ding’an’s name last year. Why is she only returning to the Capital now?”
“I don’t know, but she should be waiting for Crown Prince Ming to come back. After all, Princess Ding’an is said to be a peasant girl and doesn’t know any nobles. She’s afraid of losing face when she comes to the Capital to see those noble girls from the Zhu family. Crown Prince Ming is the most important person she knows. It’s normal for her to want to coddle him.”
“Impossible. She already discovered the high yield of grain and was even conferred the title of Princess. Who would give her face?”
“How is that impossible? They say it’s a high yield of grain, but we haven’t any of it. Who knows if it’s real or not? What if it’s fake? Wouldn’t she be exposed if she came to the Capital to see the Emperor? With Crown Prince Ming around, we can help her block it.”
Because the Capital was rich, most of the land around was the land of the nobles. There was very little land that belonged to the people themselves, so the high-yield grain was not distributed to the Capital. Other than some people of high status who had seen high-yield grain before, the rest of the people only knew about this matter, but they had never seen it before.
So for a time, there were many different opinions about this matter.
Jian Qingqing and the others did not know what had happened at the city gate.
After entering the city gate, she lifted the curtain and looked at the scene outside. She wanted to see what the center of the ancient regime looked like.
Rows of luxurious shops were in sight. People were coming and going on the spacious and tidy streets. Unlike Shifeng County, which basically had no people or horses, there were horse carriages everywhere. There were also many people riding horses and parading on the streets.
The pedestrians on the road were also dressed in more luxurious clothes. Their bodies were plump, and it was obvious that they could eat and drink well.
The scene on the street was indeed very lively. The shouts were incessant. From the shouts, one could tell that the prices of these goods were much higher than that of Shifeng County.
As expected of the political center of a country.
Seeing that many people had already noticed this side, Jian Qingqing finally put down the curtain.
However, Xiao Ye and Xiao Lang were still standing there excitedly. They had never seen such a bustling place! Even the usually reserved Xiao Ye’s face was flushed red.
After the carriage entered the city, it began to slow down. After walking for about two hours, they finally arrived at the place.
Ming Zhiyan was beating the horse, he turned around and said to Jian Qingqing, “Miss Jian, we have arrived at the Princess’s residence. I’ll be leaving first.
Jian Qingqing waved goodbye. “Thank you for seeing me off, Big Brother Ming. I’ll invite you to the residence for tea another day.”
Wei Wusheng also came to bid farewell. “I’ll be leaving first, Sister. Come to my house to play some other day when you’re free. My house has quite a lot of medicinal herbs. I’ll let you know when the time comes.”
Jian Qingqing did not want to talk about studying at all. She said perfunctorily,
“We’ll talk again when we’re free.”
At this moment, on the street outside the Princess’s residence, after bidding farewell to them, she ordered someone to drive the carriage forward. The soldiers who were originally walking in front immediately retreated to the back and let the carriage walk in front.
It had to be said that the street outside the Princess’s residence was also very large. The carriage only stopped after walking for about five minutes.
Jian Qingqing opened the carriage door and walked out.
“Welcome back to the Princess’s Residence!”
A series of shouts rang out. Jian Qingqing was shocked. Only then did she realize that there was a large crowd of people kneeling outside the residence. At this moment, they were kneeling on the ground with their heads down.
These were the servants of the Princess’s Residence. Jian Qingqing knew that the first impression she left on the servants could not be too benevolent. Otherwise, it would be easy for evil servants to bully their masters. Although she knew that such a situation would not happen to her, it was very likely that she would be treated by the servants behind their backs or something. Therefore, she adjusted her expression and said in a serious voice, “Get up..”
