The regent's spoiled princess wakes up

Chapter 128 Going to the latrine again?

"Then how?" The man in scarlet clothes quickly grabbed her, "There are so many people out there, it's not safe for you to go out."

"Princess Hui, Yuxianren...is just a white-haired old man...not tall, with a medicine gourd on his back." Xu Shou thought about it for a while, and then said, "He usually goes to the mountains to collect medicine in spring and autumn. I don’t know if I’m in the city or not. Don’t worry, the princess, the servant is outside to greet the guests, and if I see it later, I’ll report it.”

Not long after Xu Shou went out, Li Daochong, who was dressed in wedding attire, came in from the courtyard, saluted Yang Xuan with a glass of wine, and the two began to chat about Chuzhou's official affairs.

The woman in blue was bored, so she pulled Xu Shou's wife and asked, "Mrs. Xu, where are Bing Ji and Second Young Master Xu?"

Yang Xuan frowned displeased when she heard Xu Bao's name mentioned, and glanced at her indiscernibly.

"Back to the princess, Xu Bao and the people from the second room are sitting in the courtyard, and Bing Ji...should accompany Lianyu to make up in the inner room." Mrs. Xu smiled slightly, and replied respectfully, "The princess has something to do with them? "

"No...it's okay." Zhao Shuang waved his hand quickly, not knowing what he was thinking, and then glanced at the regent next to him, and asked timidly, "My lord, my concubine... wants to go to the latrine."

"Going to the latrine again?!" The man in scarlet clothes had a cold face and lowered his voice, but he still couldn't hide the vigilant flames in his eyes, "The banquet is about to start, what latrine are we going to?"

Last time at the Duke's Mansion, she took the opportunity of going to the latrine to flirt with that Chen Yang, but this time, she didn't know what the hell she was doing. Since that handsome man Xu Bao was outside, Yang Xuan was even more worried about her going out.

After being yelled at in a low voice, Zhao Shuang didn't dare to speak anymore, bowed his head and took a sip of tea, then squirmed absently in his chair for a long time, still wanting to go to the latrine.

"My lord, this is your fault," Rong Shi, who was watching the two, couldn't help covering his mouth and laughing, "People have three urgencies, how can you blame the princess?"

Hearing this, the woman in blue nodded her head vigorously, and glanced at the door aggrievedly.

"My lord, why don't you let the concubine go." Seeing her fidgeting, Li Daochong also pleaded for her.

Seeing her like this, the man in scarlet clothes helped his forehead helplessly, not knowing what she had eaten, and would go to the latrine whenever there were many people.

"Princess, why don't I go with you?" Rong put down the teacup and smiled friendlyly at Zhao Shuang.

"Thank you!" Zhao Shuang clasped her fists in both hands, bounced up from the chair, made a face at Yang Xuan, and followed Rong Shi out of the back door.

The young master in the crimson brocade robe sat blankly at the main table, watching them slip away, while Li Daochong babbled a lot of nonsense about western Yunnan, without even listening to a single word.

Zhao Shuang came out of the hut, saw that Mrs. Rong was still waiting for her, and said, "Mrs. Xu, I... want to go for a walk in the courtyard, so you don't have to follow."

"This..." Mrs. Xu hesitated, with a perplexed face, "There are many people in the courtyard, and the Chuzhou dialect they speak, I'm afraid... the princess will be abrupt."

"Don't be afraid, I feel that the air in the main hall is stagnant and a bit stuffy, and I want to go outside to get some air." Zhao Shuang had other plans in mind.

After hearing Xu Shou's description just now, she became more and more suspicious that the Jade Immortal was her master.

Not tall, a little old man with a white beard, carrying a medicine gourd on his back...

It must be him!

Zhao Shuang decided to find the master first, and ask what was going on, and whether he was the demon spirit that everyone said.

If he is really a spirit, but after all, he is the master who raised him, and he can't let him be captured, so he has to find him first.

The old man abandoned himself and Honghu back then, and ran out to roam alone, and he hadn't seen him for many years.

"Then...my concubine goes out for a walk with the concubine." Rong didn't want her to go to the outer court, but he didn't want to refute the concubine's face, so he agreed to take her out, and then ordered, "The concubine lowered her head a little so as not to attract attention." Be careful, there are many people outside, if there is a chaos, I am afraid that I will not be able to protect the princess..."

Central Plains beauties like Zhao Shuang are rare in Chuzhou, and she will inevitably attract attention if she is among the crowd.

"Don't worry, I know." Zhao Shuang said and walked towards the courtyard.

Just now when she and Yang Xuan came in, they walked through a separate corridor and didn't pass through the courtyard. Now that they walked into the courtyard, they found that there was a lot of people in the courtyard, mixed with men and women, and they were saying things that she couldn't hear. The Western Dian dialect that I understand very well, occasionally interspersed with a few words of Chinese.

"Princess, please don't wander around." Rong Shi chased after her, fearing that she would get lost.

"Mrs. Xu, you are holding a banquet here. Can those outside who don't have invitations...can come in?" Zhao Shuang secretly looked around while covering half of her face with her sleeve.

"Exactly, according to the tradition of our Chuzhou, we have to open the doors for weddings and funerals and do good deeds widely. Anyone who is willing to come in and say congratulations can come in for a banquet. Except for the inner courtyard, you can enter anywhere else. " Rong Shi followed her on the corridor, the tables and chairs in the courtyard were densely packed, the guests around were very close, and occasionally they would look at them curiously, Rong Shi greeted the guests in the local dialect.

"That's really kind to people. Even beggars can come in to eat." Zhao Shuang searched around, but didn't see any trace of the white-haired old man.

"Exactly. In addition, wealthy families like Mr. Li sometimes set up a special table for guests who don't have invitations, such as beggars or homeless foreigners." Rong explained patiently.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Shuang's eyes sparkled with excitement, and she grabbed Rong's sleeve and asked, "Where is that table for beggars and foreigners? I want to go and see."

"I think it's...in the west courtyard, where the concubine's room lives, the farthest from the main hall..." Before Rong could finish speaking, she saw Zhao Shuang rushing towards the setting sun, confused in her heart, and shouted, "Princess ! The banquet is about to start, let's not go far!"

Zhao Shuang was not willing to listen to her persuasion, so he ran away in an instant.

The west courtyard is separated from the main courtyard by a wall, and the main courtyard is bustling with people, but this side is deserted, with only two tables of seats, and the little maids standing next to them are not as attentive as in the main courtyard, with a straight face, and only serve a few dishes occasionally come up.

When Zhao Shuang came in, there were only a few people sitting at the two tables.Several people wore burlap clothes of various colors, but they were not tattered. They were more like street rascals than beggars.

The dishes and drinks in the west courtyard are not as rich as outside, but there is no shortage of chicken, duck and fish, which is still very attractive to these people.

A plate of braised chicken was sold out as soon as it was served.

"Little girl, how old are you? You look so juicy..." A greasy-mouthed gangster suddenly asked the maid who was serving food.

A little girl with shofar braids next to her was frightened and asked in horror, "Sister Qiaolan, do you want to call someone?"
