Chapter 388 Escaped Pretty Quickly

As soon as the eldest prince finished speaking, the carriage door was pushed open again.

The eldest prince's wife glanced into the carriage with an indifferent expression, her eyes passed over Jinse's face, and finally looked at the eldest prince: "Greetings, Your Highness."

After half-bowed to the eldest prince, the eldest prince's wife slowly took Lihua's hand and prepared to get into the car.

Jinse took a deep breath and quickly stood up: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have other things to do, so I'd better take my leave first!"

After saying this, without waiting for the eldest prince to react, Jinse hurriedly got off the carriage.

After getting off the carriage, Jinse bowed to the eldest prince's wife and quickly made way for her: "Eldest prince's wife, please!"

The eldest prince poked his head out and looked at Jinse: "Hey, what are you doing..."

Jinse smiled at the eldest prince and said very quickly: "Your Highness, please take me out of the palace with you. I remember that I have other things to do, so I will not disturb you any more. I will go back to the palace by myself later, so there is no need to trouble you. Well, I will take my leave now!"

He turned around and left without any hesitation after he finished speaking.

"Hey, I'm telling you..."

Seeing that Jinse was about to run away in the blink of an eye, the eldest prince quickly directed someone to follow her.

However, Jinse walked so fast that the people below tried to catch up with her, but lost her after turning a corner. They looked around for a long time but found nothing. Finally, they could only go back to report to the eldest prince in disappointment.

Not to mention that the eldest prince had lost Jinse, he now had to face Concubine Ye's unreasonable demands and the cold eldest prince's wife, which must have been a terrible experience.

On Jinse's side, after leaving the invisible battlefield on the eldest prince's side, she breathed a long sigh of relief.

She really couldn't stand the eldest prince's family.

Jinse looked around while thinking.

I hadn't planned to leave the palace today, so I didn't prepare anything and didn't have much money in my hands.

It didn't matter when she followed the eldest prince before, because she had to pay for whatever the eldest prince did. But now that the eldest prince is gone...

Well, Jinse didn’t even think about picking a teahouse or restaurant to go into.

I'm really short of money.

Jinse rummaged around for a long time before she took out a few copper coins that she had stuffed into her pocket at some point.

She nodded, wondering what she could do with the few coins in her hand.

While he was thinking about it, he suddenly looked up as if he felt something, and his eyes lit up.

At the other end of the road, Cha Lan was walking out of a shop.

Jinse didn't expect to run into Chalan today. After all, they haven't seen each other for a long time, and she was very happy...

Just as Jinse was about to go forward to say hello, she suddenly saw Cha Lan turn her head and say something to someone next to her with a smile, and their attitude seemed quite intimate.

Jinse paused.

That's Chalan, and...who?

Cha Qing had met Cha Lan before leaving the palace. After returning, she told Jin Se that Cha Lan got married after leaving the palace.

So, that person should be Cha Lan’s husband?

Jinse frowned, seeming a little confused.

Logically speaking, she definitely didn't know Cha Lan's husband, but at this moment, when she looked at that man, she always had a familiar feeling, as if she should have seen him before.

But who was that person? Why did she feel that he looked familiar?
During this moment of hesitation, when Jinse looked up again, Chalan and the man had already walked away and disappeared. After all, it was a small matter, and she didn't think about it at the time. Now that the man was gone, Jinse didn't think about it anymore.

Because she didn't have much money, Jinse didn't hang around outside the palace for long.

After a casual stroll, he had the two coins in his hand but had no time to spend, so he hurried back to the palace before noon.

But I missed the lunch in the palace.

Thinking that the tea boy was on duty today, Jinse thought for a moment and then ran to the imperial tea room.

She was not familiar with anyone else in Sui'an Court, so no one would bring her lunch. It would be better for her to go to the Imperial Tea Room and see if she could get some cakes for lunch.

The Imperial Tea Room was relatively quiet today, and people weren't asking for tea that often.

After running three or four times, the tea boy took a rest by the stove.

When Jinse came over, Chaqing was preparing to boil some hawthorn water to drink. Well, he ate a little too much at noon.

Jinse looked at the green tea, then at the boiling hawthorn water, and couldn't help rubbing her stomach, with a little bit of grievance in her eyes.

"What's wrong with you? Aren't you going to rest today? Why are you here now?"

Cha Qing was quite surprised to see Jinse coming over. Then, looking at her little expression, he couldn't help scratching his head and asked again, "What... happened to you again?"

Jinse let out a breath slowly, found a place to sit down, and whispered, "No, the eldest prince took me out of the palace for a walk, and I didn't have any lunch. Is there anything to eat here? Let me have a bite."

Seeing that she looked weak and obviously very hungry, Cha Qing hurriedly went to the cupboard to bring out several plates of snacks and made her a pot of black tea.

Seeing Jinse wolfing down the food for a while, Cha Qing asked curiously, "Why did you go out of the palace with the eldest prince and come back before eating?"

I came back at this point.

Could it be that the eldest prince got angry and sent her back?

Cha Qing thought about the eldest prince's attitude towards Jinse, and felt that it shouldn't be like this.

Jinse briefly recounted what happened today, then sighed and said, "I really didn't dare to stay there any longer, so I left by myself. It was just that I was in a hurry when I left the palace, and I didn't have much money for food, so I thought about it and hurried back."

Cha Qing nodded as he listened: "Yes, in that case, if you continue to stay with the eldest prince, you will only be unlucky."

Concubine Ye already disliked Jinse, and if she saw the eldest prince taking Jinse out of the palace for a stroll...

Just thinking about it makes me feel that it would be a trouble if I encountered it.

Jinse just nodded and didn't want to say anything more about it.

Cha Qing's curiosity arose: "The eldest prince's wife and Concubine Ye are quite noisy. The eldest prince can bear it, but I don't know what will happen if Concubine De finds out."

Jinse was speechless and just focused on drinking tea and eating snacks.

Cha Qing thought about it for a while, and seeing that Jinse didn't respond, he stopped talking.

Knowing that Jinse didn't like gossiping about these things, Cha Qing thought that she should ask the sisters working in the harem herself.

As the head maid in the Imperial Tea House, Cha Qing enjoyed great status in front of the younger maids in the harem.

Besides, she didn't ask in vain, as she brought with her some delicious snacks that were only available in the Imperial Tea Room. The next day, she heard from a little palace maid who cleaned the Imperial Garden that Concubine De had called the eldest prince's wife and Concubine Ye into the palace and scolded them.

The little palace maid was also quite gossipy. She described the expressions of the Crown Prince's wife and Concubine Ye when they came out of Concubine De's palace in such vivid detail that her words were so exaggerated that it seemed as if she had seen it with her own eyes while standing at the door of Concubine De's palace.

The key point is that Cha Qing was listening with great interest, and the emotional value he gave was so high that the little palace maid came up to Cha Qing and chattered for a long time.
