Chapter 218 The Future Crown Princess
Chapter 218 The Future Crown Princess
The diners inside the shop heard the commotion outside and came to the door...
"Princess Yujin? Who is she?"
“The daughter of Princess Lanxi from the capital.”
"Princess Lanxi is..."
"She is the daughter of the Ninth Imperial Uncle, the only one still alive in the world, making her the Emperor's cousin."
"I heard that Ninth Prince is a low-key person who doesn't cause trouble, but Princess Lanxi and Princess Yujin are arrogant and domineering outside in his name, taking advantage of the Emperor's respect for Ninth Prince."
"This time, it's probably also done in the name of the Ninth Imperial Uncle."
“Let me tell you!” Princess Yujin’s servant raised his chin, “Our county magistrate is buying this thing that keeps things warm in winter and cool in summer, so that Ninth Prince can recuperate.”
"The Ninth Imperial Uncle is the only living uncle of the current Emperor."
"The Ninth Imperial Uncle is our Princess Yujin's maternal grandfather."
"Let me tell you, if we delay Ninth Prince's recovery, no one can afford to offend us!!"
The diners scoffed, "Look, they're bringing up the Ninth Prince again."
"The Ninth Imperial Uncle is in good health, drinking at the No. 1 Restaurant in the capital every day. What illness could he possibly be suffering from? It's just an excuse."
"That may be true, but when the county magistrate comes here, not only Baishi County, but even Yunzhou Prefecture will have to give her face."
"We can't afford to offend Baishi Teahouse."
"That's true."
"Miss Tian, why don't you just sell it?" the diners began to persuade.
They didn't want Tian Xiang to offend Princess Yujin.
Those who had done business in the capital had heard many legends about Princess Lanxi and Princess Yujin.
This mother and daughter are not easy to deal with.
It is said that Princess Lanxi was pressuring the Emperor to have Princess Yujin marry the Crown Prince and become his consort.
“Yes, Miss Tian, just name your price, and I’m sure the county magistrate won’t treat you unfairly,” the diners said.
These words caused Princess Yujin's eyes to flash with a slightly embarrassed look.
“Not bad.” But she still raised her slender, jade-like hand and smoothed her temples. “This county princess will absolutely not mistreat Miss Tian.”
"Miss Tian, why don't we go inside the shop and talk?"
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, we're not selling!" Tian Xiang said firmly.
Princess Yujin was stunned. She had clearly given this woman a way out, yet she was still so ungrateful!
“You audacious lowly commoner!!” The servant of Princess Yujin raised his hand again.
This time, without Qin Qingyun's intervention, their slaps landed on the faces of the two waiters.
One is called Xiao Si, and the other is called Xiao Liu.
"Little Four, Little Six, are you alright?"
Xiao Si and Xiao Liu's cheeks immediately became red and swollen, which showed how strong the two women were.
"You, you've gone too far!!" Tian Xiang exclaimed angrily.
“This is our property, and we mean it. So what if you're a county princess? Even if you're a county princess or a princess, you can't force someone to buy or sell it!”
"Hmph!" Princess Yujin snorted coldly. She glanced at the two women and walked straight into the shop.
Two women, one on each side, held Tian Xiang back and followed Princess Yujin.
"Young lady, young lady." The fourth and sixth children followed...
"Baishi Teahouse is not accepting any customers today. Get out, everyone! Don't ruin the county magistrate's important business!"
"You can't afford to take that responsibility!!"
Upon hearing this, the customers in the shop all rushed out.
"What should we do?" Xiao Liu covered her face and asked Xiao Si in a low voice.
Xiao Si thought for a moment and whispered, "Go to the county government office and find the Second Miss. Remember to tell her everything that happened here."
"It would be best if she brought Lord Li with her. They're both from the capital, so perhaps they could get to know each other."
"Also, take Chu Qian and Chu Yao to the Second Miss."
He had to stay here; he couldn't let this Lady Yujin harm Miss Tian.
The two women immediately released Tian Xiang, and Xiao Si rushed over in time, causing Tian Xiang to fall onto his back.
"Xiaosi?"
"Are you okay?"
Xiao Si shook her head, "Young lady, I'm fine."
He turned around and knelt on the ground, moving his knees to the side of Princess Yujin, kowtowing repeatedly, "Princess, please don't be angry, please don't be angry."
"Since it's a business transaction, everything is negotiable."
"Please don't blame our shopkeeper, Your Highness."
"Our manager has never met any important figures, please don't be offended, Your Highness."
Tian Xiang felt deeply guilty seeing Xiao Si so humble.
"Little Four..."
Xiao Si just wants to stall for time. He believes that once Er Guniang returns, the situation will definitely be different.
He steeled his resolve and reached out to grab the hem of Princess Yujin's robe.
"You lowly commoner, how dare you touch the county princess's clothes?!" Sure enough, the woman beside the county princess was furious.
He pulled up Xiao Si and started hitting him...
"Don't hit him..."
Tian Xiang tried to pull him away, but couldn't get a hand in.
The other guys also stopped her.
"Young lady..."
Xiao Si was being beaten by the two women. He curled up, covering his head with his arms to protect it.
He grew up in the streets and alleys, and before he was taken in by the Chu family to work as a waiter, he was often involved in fights.
So I know how to protect myself.
Over there, Xiao Liu, carrying Chu Qian in one arm and Chu Yao in the other, rushed to the county government office.
"I want to see our Second Miss!" Xiao Liu was so anxious that she almost stopped walking.
"What happened?" The constable at the door sized him up. "Are you a waiter at Baishi Teahouse?"
"Yes, I need to see our second young lady. Something has happened at the shop."
Upon hearing this, the constable immediately tugged at his belt. "Someone dares to cause trouble at the White Stone Teahouse?"
"No need to disturb the Second Miss, I'll call a few brothers to go with you."
Xiao Liu stamped his feet anxiously, "You're all useless, you're all useless, hurry, hurry and take me to find the Second Miss."
"Ah, oh oh oh oh." The constable was startled by his movements and, ignoring him, led him directly to Ling Yao's courtyard.
"The second young lady is taking care of Young Master Ling, who is still receiving acupuncture..."
"Second Miss, in your shop..."
"Second Miss." Xiao Liu rushed to Tian Tian's side, almost knocking the two children over.
Tian Tian helped the two children up, "What happened?"
The two children hadn't cried until they saw Tian Tian, at which point they burst into tears.
"Auntie, Mommy was bullied by bad people."
"Auntie, Mommy was bullied by bad people."
"What happened?" Tian Tian asked in shock.
Apart from the Tian family, they haven't offended anyone. The Tian family has already been exiled.
Who else would dare to bully Tian Xiang?
"Who is it?"
Xiao Liu stammered as he got anxious, “Yes, she is some kind of Princess Yujin from the capital.”
“She, she, she wants to buy us, our stuff that keeps us warm in winter and cool in summer.”
"When the young woman said she wouldn't sell, she tried to hit her..."
"They even kicked all of us diners out."
"This Princess Yujin is the granddaughter of the Ninth Imperial Uncle, and is said to be the future Crown Princess."
While the diners were discussing Princess Yujin, Xiao Liu happened to be nearby and overheard their conversation.
