The horse actually stopped like this, only three feet away from the carriage!
…
The whole long street was dead silent.
The ladies from various families got off the carriage one after another and looked at this scene in shock.
Who would have thought that such a thing would happen in front of the eldest princess?
However, when they saw the woman in red sitting high on the horse, they all withdrew their shocked expressions.
It turns out to be her, no wonder she is so courageous...
The woman in red put away the long whip in her hand, looked at Ye Shixian condescendingly, and raised her eyebrows: "Hey, are you okay?"
Ye Shixian's hair was messy, and her carefully selected steps were tangled together. She had tears in her eyes, and the look of shock on her face had not faded. Where did she look like she was fine?
But when she heard this sound, her heart trembled, and the questioning words that were originally stuck in her throat were unable to be uttered.
She struggled to get up from the ground, and she knew how many people were looking at her without looking up.
Ye Shixian was extremely ashamed, angry and extremely angry.
Before she even entered, she made such a joke in front of the eldest princess's mansion. She had lost all her face!
At this moment, a hand suddenly appeared next to her and held her arm.
Ye Shixian turned around and saw that Ye Chutang had gotten off the carriage at some point, and asked in a low voice with concern: "Shixian, how are you?"
Ye Shixian's face turned red and white.
She wanted to get rid of Ye Chutang immediately, but she absolutely couldn't do it in front of so many people.
In the end, he could only suppress his emotions and shake his head, forcing a smile.
"I-I'm fine, cousin, don't worry."
She finally stood up, but she didn't care about anything else. Instead, she immediately curtsied to the woman in red.
"I have met Princess Qinyang."
Ye Chutang's eyes moved slightly.
Sure enough, except for Qinyang Princess Li Yue, there was no one who had good riding skills and dared to gallop in front of the eldest princess's house so unscrupulously.
Princess Qinyang's father was the King of Yannan, who guarded the southwest and had great military exploits.
Princess Qinyang was his only daughter. She had been doted on since she was a child, and she developed a fierce and flamboyant temperament.
Even the princess and prince were quite polite in front of Princess Qinyang and did not dare to show off their royal prestige.
Everyone can see that Princess Qinyang definitely did it on purpose, but so what?
Ye Shixian didn't even dare to say a word of accusation.
The woman in red got off the horse.
She is tall and tall, wearing a red dress with black boots, her hair is simply tied up, and her eyebrows are bright and public.
One look and you can tell that he grew up arrogant.
A few boys behind him hurriedly caught up.
"Princess! Princess, you——"
Princess Qinyang threw the whip in her hand casually: "This horse is frightened, take it back and teach it a lesson."
The boy hurriedly caught the whip and responded repeatedly: "Yes!"
Princess Qinyang then looked at Ye Shixian again, stepped forward and asked, "Is everything really okay? I think it's better to go to the hospital for a checkup? Don't go back and say that something happened and it was because of me."
How can this be done!
It took a lot of effort to wait until today. If I leave, it will be like trying to draw water from a bamboo basket in vain!
Ye Shixian held back her tears and forced a smile: "Thank you very much, Princess Qinyang, for your concern. It's really not a problem for civilian girls."
Princess Qinyang raised her eyebrows and was not surprised at all by her answer.
She shrugged.
"Okay. Since you said it's okay, then don't go. Xiao Jiang, send a gift to the Ye family later as an apology to Miss Ye."
The boy following her immediately responded.
The smile on Ye Shixian's lips was almost unbearable.
The Princess of Qinyang had long disliked her, and this time she went even further, giving her a real blow in front of everyone!
How could she raise her head among the noble ladies in the capital...
Princess Qinyang turned around to leave, but out of the corner of her eye she suddenly caught sight of Ye Chutang standing next to Ye Shixian. She couldn't help but stop and looked her up and down.
Even if ordinary people are curious, they will not be so straightforward and unrestrained, but Princess Qinyang is obviously not an ordinary person.
She asked: "Who are you? How come I haven't seen you before?"
Ye Chutang's eyes slightly drooped, and just as he was about to reply, Princess Qinyang suddenly remembered something: "Oh! I see! You are the second Miss Ye who just came back from the Ye family, right?"
It seems that the news of their return has indeed spread throughout the capital.
Ye Chutang nodded lightly: "Ye Chutang, a civilian girl, has met Princess Qinyang."
Princess Qinyang's eyes turned to the two of them and sneered:
"Cousin, Ye Shixian doesn't look much like you... I thought she had lived in your house for a few years and we share the same wind and water. She must look more and more like you as she grows older!"
Everyone could hear the irony in these words.
Someone next to him burst out laughing.
Although the laughter quickly stopped, Ye Shixian still felt as if she had been slapped in public, and her face was burning with pain.
That thing about the Ye family is not a secret.
In the past, everyone thought that Ye Zheng's family was all dead. As his biological brother, Ye Heng took care of the family's affairs and moved into their house. It was understandable and it was no one else's turn to comment.
But it’s different now—the Ye Chutang siblings are back!
Who doesn't know that the Ye family is now living together, and the Ye Heng family has no plans to move out at all. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell what the intention is.
It's just that this is a family matter after all, and Ye Chutang's siblings have no father, no mother, no one to rely on, and Ye Heng has just been promoted to the rank of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, with a bright future.
Comparing the two, naturally no one is so ignorant as to come up to stir up trouble.
However, Princess Qinyang is the exception.
She wouldn't take a mere fourth-grade person seriously, not to mention that she had disliked Ye Shixian for a long time, and today she was determined to humiliate her in public!
Ye Chutang raised his eyebrows slightly, but he found this Qinyang Princess quite interesting.
"Princess Qinyang is joking, Shixian and I have different fathers and different mothers, so we naturally look different."
"Ah, yes!"
Princess Qinyang suddenly realized,
"She should look like her mother! Otherwise, she should look like her brother from the same mother! Oh, by the way, your mother didn't come with you today?"
Ye Shixian bit her lip secretly, feeling extremely angry in her heart.
A few days ago, her mother had an accident at the banquet. Many people knew that Princess Qinyang's words were clearly intentional!
However, she could only suppress her humiliation and replied in a low voice: "My mother is ill, so she never came."
Princess Qinyang waved her hand.
"Forget it, the eldest princess is still waiting in the mansion. We can't keep her waiting for a long time. Let's go!"
As she said that, she walked directly into the house.
The other noble ladies looked at each other, and finally followed suit.
No one came over to say hello to Ye Shixian.
Ye Shixian stood there, while Shaoyao helped her arrange her clothes and headdress, and complained in a low voice: "It's true, Princess Qinyang! She bullied you like this. I don't know how distressed Master Murong will be when he finds out about it -"
Ye Shixian frowned slightly and interrupted her: "Peony."
Shaoyao was unwilling to keep silent.
Ye Chutang narrowed his eyes slightly.
Murong?
