BXBX NOVEL Chapter 408 - 408: New Sights and Sounds
After offending the Empress, Princess Yanhe also knew that she would not be able to see the Emperor today. She mumbled ‘[yes’ and retreated. Before she left, she glared at Jian Qingqing a few times.
Jian Qingqing was not afraid of her and revealed a gloating smile at her. This made Princess Yanhe so angry that she almost fell down.
After she left, the Empress patted her hand and comforted her, “You will always be the Great Wei’s Princess Ding’an, you do not need to take her words to heart.”
Jian Qingqing smiled. “Your Highness, I know. I won’t care about what she says.”
“That’s good. I heard that you’re going out of the palace to play?” she asked.
“That’s right, that’s right. Mother, this is what Imperial Father promised me. You can’t stop me,” Princess Anning quickly said.
The Empress reproached her and tapped her on the forehead, “When did I say I was going to stop you? But you’ve never left the palace before, so you must listen to Qingqings arrangements after you leave. You can’t be reckless in everything, and you must also bring all the guards assigned to you by your father. Safety first, and you can’t run around.”
Because it was Princess Anning’s first time out of the palace, the Empress was afraid that she would have an accident and carefully warned her.
After hearing this, Princess Anning nodded her head seriously, “Don’t worry, Mother. I know everything.”
“Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will definitely protect Princess Anning,” Jian Qingqing quickly said.
The Empress smiled and patted her hand, “With you here, I’m naturally at ease.
Alright, you guys can go and have fun.”
“Then, I’ll see you again, Mother!”
Princess Anning excitedly pulled Jian Qingqing and ran out.
Outside the palace, Ming Zhiyan had already prepared a carriage waiting for Jian Qingqing and Princess Anning. The guards assigned by the Emperor to the Princess were also waiting there.
Jian Qingqing walked out with Princess Anning, who had already disguised herself, and her maidservants.
Ming Zhiyan opened the car door and said, “Let’s go.”
Jian Qingqing wanted to say something, but seeing that there were so many people here, she did not say anything. She pulled Princess Anning into the carriage. After a while, the carriage slowly moved.
It was Princess Anning’s first time out of the palace. She was in a state of excitement. Ever since she got on the carriage, she had been leaning on the window and looking out. She kept talking to Jian Qingqing. Not seeing anything that she had never seen before could make her excited.
“Qingqing, the corridor outside the palace is so long! We’ve been walking for so long and we still haven’t left!”
“Qingqing, so the houses outside the palace are like this! It’s so small!”
“Qingqing, there are so many people outside! Their clothes look like this!”
Jian Qingqing smiled as she listened to her speak. When she had questions, she would answer them. She did not find her noisy. It was the first time that Princess Anning had left the palace. Naturally, everything she saw was new. It was normal to have more questions.
They went to the largest main street in the Capital City. It was very lively here, with all kinds of lanterns on display, and countless snacks, toys, and jewelry.
Princess Anning only felt that there were countless new and fun things here, and she almost could not take it anymore.
After alighting from the carriage, she looked at the people and things on the street in shock, her face full of excitement.
Seeing a child walking past while eating candied fruit, Princess Anning said excitedly, “Qingqing, I want to eat too!”
Although she had also had a royal chef in the palace make these things for her, she craved the candied fruit outside.
Jian Qingqing was a little embarrassed. The snacks on the street were generally not too clean. Princess Anning was used to being raised by a noble family. She did not know if Princess Anning’s stomach could handle these things..
