"How can I disturb Princess Wantao? Besides, I have to go to the palace to meet Emperor Yunxiao and the Queen. Otherwise, wouldn't it be disrespectful to me?"
Beiye Hongyao tried to refuse politely. She came to Yunxiao Kingdom with a mission.
But how could Princess Wantao allow her to refuse?
"Don't disturb me, not at all. I have a lot of leisure time in the mansion on weekdays. I can't be happy enough to have the third princess as my companion."
Although Princess Wantao was inviting, she had already pulled her to her carriage before Kitano Hongyao agreed.
"The third princess has been working hard and has to settle down first. Since the emperor has ordered me to entertain the third princess, if the third princess doesn't let me entertain her, won't it make it difficult for me to do it in front of the emperor?"
"Okay then. Just bother Princess Wantao."
Beiye Hongyao thought that it would be okay to settle down first and then enter the palace. But he had not yet met their envoy, and it would not be so convenient to talk after entering Princess Wantao's mansion.
But as soon as she finished speaking, Princess Wantao had already ordered the coachman:
"Turn around and go home!"
The driver immediately obeyed the order and turned the horse's head.
No matter how the original team of the third princess of the Northern Barbarians felt, they headed to the eighth princess's mansion on horseback.
Beiye Hongyao really didn't expect that Princess Wantao would be so enthusiastic, and it was hard to refuse her for a while.
You can't just arrive in Yunxiao Kingdom and have a falling out with the princess.
Princess Wantao smiled sincerely, and there seemed to be brilliance blooming in her eyes:
"Don't worry, Third Princess, I will entertain you well and I will never let you be bored,"
Kitano Hongyao looked at her smile, but suddenly felt a little uneasy in her heart, as if she was being remembered.
When they arrived at the Eighth Princess Mansion, Princess Wantao enthusiastically led Beiye Hongyao inside.
"My mother and concubine are resting in peace and see no outsiders. Third princess, don't blame me. You are new here, so you may not be familiar with it and get lost. I will show you around my mansion."
"Princess Wantao's kindness should not be rejected. However, I came to Yunxiao Kingdom with my father's instructions. I should put business first. I will definitely accompany Princess Wantao for a stroll someday."
Kitano Hongyao felt that her rejection was very obvious, and it would be difficult for normal people to force others to do so.
But it seems that Princess Wantao doesn't act according to common sense.
"Brother Huang has been very busy with official duties recently, so he asked me to receive the third princess first. Don't be anxious, third princess. Rushing is not a business. Even if you are here, Brother Huang will always summon you."
Beiye Hongyao suddenly felt a little embarrassed. It was not a business deal. Was it because she was too impatient and went to Jun Lingyun's side?
But when she looked at Princess Wantao again, she was still smiling, and the hand on her arm was still pulling her forward.
"I like this corridor the most. In my free time, I can enjoy the flowers and play with the birds here. Look at the rockery, how beautiful it is?"
Her enthusiasm has not diminished, and it seems that what she just said was just said casually. She did not realize that she used the wrong words.
Beiye Hongyao had no choice but to put her thoughts away and nodded in response. People said that she was in a hurry. If she mentioned that she wanted to enter the palace again, wouldn't it be an embarrassment to the Northern Man country?
"Princess Wantao's mansion is very elegant."
Princess Wantao smiled brightly and led her through the corridor.
"That pavilion is also a place I often go to, but it's cold now and I can't stay there for long. We only stop there to take in the scenery."
Kitano Hongyao had been riding the carriage all the way, and her legs were already feeling a little uncomfortable. She looked at the distance to the pavilion and thought, "You also know it's cold."
She came all the way and didn't know to ask her to sit down and have some tea first, but instead took her to visit the garden first?
The two walked slowly to the pavilion and only stood there for a moment while burning incense. Princess Wantao said:
"Third Princess, I have some exotic flowers and plants in my back garden. Let's go and enjoy the flowers together."
A black line was drawn in Beiye Hongyao's heart, and she could hardly control the expression on her face. She really didn't want to take a step away.
"Princess Wantao, the journey from Northern Barbarian Kingdom to Yunxiao Kingdom is long and the carriage is bumpy. I'm really tired. Why don't we go shopping another day?"
Princess Wantao cheered in her heart. She was finally tired of shopping, but she had a look of sudden realization on her face.
"Ah, I'm so rude. The third princess and I hit it off as old friends, and we were so happy that we forgot about this problem. The third princess will go back to the house to rest first, and I will send someone to invite you when it's lunch time."
"In that case, I would like to thank Princess Wantao."
Kitano Hongyao just wants to find a bed, lie down and have a rest. As for what other arrangements will be made later, she doesn't want to know at all now.
"Come here, take the third princess to rest."
Princess Wantao gave an order, and servants had already come forward to guide Beiye Hongyao.
Beiye Hongyao nodded towards Princess Wantao and followed the servants.
However, after wandering for an unknown distance, until she felt that her legs and feet were no longer her own, she arrived at the residence arranged for her by Princess Wantao.
Kitano Hongyao looked up and saw the plaque on the arch, "Wuyuan Pavilion".
The plaque looked a bit new, so I thought it might have been renovated to welcome her, so I entered the yard without thinking too much.
Later, Beiye Hongyao found out that Wuyuan Pavilion was the innermost courtyard of Princess Wantao's residence.
It would take at least two quarters of an hour to walk from Wuyuan Pavilion to the gate of the Eighth Princess Mansion.
If we get lost again, it’s hard to say how long it will take.
It's just that she has no intention to explore these things now, she is really thirsty for shopping.
After she sat down, a servant finally brought hot tea.
Kitano Hongyao stretched out her hand and tried it, but had to wait patiently for the hot tea to cool down.
If you can serve guests with hot tea, you can't criticize others.
Princess Wantao, on the other hand, had already been carried by a sedan chair, returned to her boudoir, and sat down on a chair.
The maids hurriedly came forward, brought her warm tea, and helped her squeeze her legs.
"Princess, aren't you hurting the enemy a thousand times and damaging yourself eight hundred?"
Her personal maid Nuan'er feels sorry for her princess. How can she not be tired after walking so much?
Princess Wantao said angrily:
"Don't talk nonsense. Who did this princess hurt? I didn't hurt anyone. The visitor is a guest, that's why. Go and get me some snacks. I'm going to have a big banquet in a while."
Nuan'er smiled.
"Yes, princess."
They princesses have always been pretending to be pigs and eating tigers. They are as wise as fools and know what to do to whom and what to do.
Beiye Hongyao, the third princess of the Northern Barbarians, had just taken a breather, moistened her throat, washed herself, and changed her clothes. Before she could lie down, Princess Wantao sent someone to invite her to lunch again.
She looked at the sky and realized that it was indeed noon. They were not deliberately making things difficult. So she had to change into a formal suit and walk around to have a meal.
"Third Princess, have you rested? I specially invited the royal chef from the palace to perform the royal meal for us on the spot, but I don't know if the food of our Yunxiao Kingdom can suit your taste."
Beiye Hongyao was tired and forced to smile. But in her heart, she was thinking that if she wanted to eat the royal meal, she should go to the palace with Jun Lingyun. There was no need to eat in the eighth princess's mansion?
