"Have you seen the maidservant beside her?" Shen Xihe asked.
Pearl shook her head, but Biyu, who had more opportunities to go to the palace, said, "Princess, it seems that he is someone close to the third princess."
"Sure enough..." Shen Xihe chuckled.
This is the horse market, an important trading place for foreign nations. Although it is not heavily guarded, the security is absolutely strict, and there are interpreters to prevent transactions from going wrong. Suddenly, no one was there, which was extremely unusual.
"The Second Madam has fallen into the Third Princess's trap." Biyu frowned subconsciously.
Shen Xihe looked at Shen Yingruo, who was chatting and laughing with the Tubo prince, and smiled, "She also grew up in the palace. You should not think that she is weak and can be bullied."
Retracting his gaze, the smile on Shen Xihe's lips gradually became cold and frosty: "But these patrol guards were transferred away so easily, they should be taught a lesson, Zhenzhu..."
Zhenzhu leaned over, Shen Xihe gave her some instructions in her ear, and she immediately retreated.
Shen Yingruo helped the Tubo prince resolve a problem, and she could speak Tubo, which amazed him. He immediately asked, "Are you the princess of His Majesty?"
"I'm not your majesty's princess. I'm just your princess's study companion." Shen Yingruo bowed politely. "I'm our princess. She saw that several guests were in trouble, so she sent me here to help them out."
When the Tubo prince heard that Shen Yingruo was just a study partner and that the Tubo prince's study partners were all selected from the servants, he felt a little disappointed. However, when he heard what Shen Yingruo said next, his eyes immediately lit up again.
He followed Shen Yingruo's gaze and saw the Third Princess sitting in the distance. He had seen this Third Princess before and immediately had a good impression of her. He couldn't help but ask Shen Yingruo, "Does the Third Princess also speak Tibetan?"
"Of course, the princess is knowledgeable and talented." Shen Yingruo praised.
Unfortunately, the maidservant who came with Shen Yingruo did not understand Tibetan. When the Tibetan prince looked at her inquiringly, Shen Yingruo lied and said, "The prince asked me if I was a princess, and I said I was the niece of His Majesty."
The maid nodded immediately.
Shen Yingruo then said to the Tubo prince: "Our princess longs for Tubo very much, longs for the green grasslands, the fragrance of free flowers, and the unrestrained songs."
The Tubo prince was overjoyed: "Princess, you will get what you want."
Shen Yingruo bowed slightly and left with the princess's maid. She turned around and her smile instantly fell.
Few people knew that she could speak Tibetan. The third princess pushed her out so that she could solve the trouble as a county lord.
The Third Princess has been pestering her these past few days, making her extremely annoyed. She invites her out once a day. If she wants to completely dispel the Third Princess' thoughts, she must start from the root.
If she wanted the Tubo prince to fall in love with her and ask her to marry her, she had to let the third princess have a taste of being schemed against.
Shen Yingruo had just left the horse market when a large-scale fight broke out between horse merchants and foreign guests. Such matters that affected diplomatic relations naturally had to be reported to the emperor. The guards on duty that day were all beaten with sticks, and several generals were punished to varying degrees, and many were demoted.
You have to know that if places like this neglect their duties, one mistake may lead to hostility and war between the two countries. If they are not severely punished to serve as a warning, if something really happens in the future, it will be a fatal matter!
