Chapter 149 Princess Beixiang Startled the Horse
"You can't say that. At your age, you are curious about everyone. It is normal to have a crush on someone of the opposite sex. As for Cheng Ran and Xiao Yunjian, both are excellent. Now it depends on which one you admire more, or which one is more suitable for you." Mi Mo helped her younger sister to smooth over the concept of love.
Mi Yao looked at her sister so lovingly.
"I understand, big sister." Mi You said and ran forward happily.
Mi Yao smiled, it seemed that the little sister had already thought it through.
"Get out of the way, the horse is frightened, get out of the way." At this moment, a man's voice about to explode came from the front. Mi Yao saw a carriage galloping towards him. The coachman was frightened and pulled the horse's reins tightly. His face had already turned pale with fear, but he did not retreat. He pulled the reins tightly, but the horse did not listen to him.
Mi You was also frightened. Mi Yao quickly pulled her sister behind her and leaned to one side. At this moment, two children ran out of a shop, and the horse's hooves were about to step on the children's bodies. The children's mother cried and shouted desperately behind them...
Mi Yao was wondering whether to take action or not. When he saw the two innocent children and thought of his own son, he took out two daggers and flew out. At this moment, a man flew out, grabbed the two children who were already frightened on the ground, and rolled on the ground. At this moment, the horse's two front legs were cut off by the dagger, and the horse fell to the ground with a thud.
The child was rescued, but the people in the carriage suffered. They rolled out due to the inertia of the carriage leaning forward. They turned out to be two women in foreign costumes, apparently a master and a servant.
"How do you drive the carriage? Will you take responsibility if the princess is injured?" The little maid helped her master up, pointed at the coachman and cursed him, and kicked him twice in anger.
The princess from some unknown country adjusted her clothes and hair accessories and began to rub her knees.
“Please forgive me, Princess. The horse got frightened for some reason…” Before the driver could finish his explanation, he saw the horse without two legs.
"Who did it?" The princess didn't know that a child was almost killed by her horse. She only cared about that someone cut her horse's legs, which caused her carriage to fall forward and she made a fool of herself, making her a princess of her country lose face.
Mi You held her elder sister's arm tightly. She had heard that the woman was a princess and was afraid that her elder sister would be implicated.
However, when he saw the person who saved the child, he was delighted, because that person was Cheng Ran who was patrolling there.
More and more people gathered around, but the princess refused to give in.
"Your Highness Princess Beisheng, you are not allowed to speed when driving a carriage in Dongqi capital. You almost hit a child just now. Your behavior has affected the public security of our capital. Since you are Princess Beisheng and a distinguished guest of Dongqi, I will not pursue it this time. I hope Princess will pay attention next time." Cheng Ran was wearing soft armor today. Unlike the thick armor worn on the battlefield, he wore a black robe with soft armor and a sword. His tough facial features and unique military temperament made many girls' eyes light up.
"You are just a bunch of lowly people. How dare you compare the safety of our princess with that of others?" The maid looked down on people and her tone was full of disdain.
Bei Xiang didn't say anything, which meant she tacitly agreed with the maid's words.
At this time, a group of Beisheng soldiers came up from behind, seven or eight people, all of them were protecting Beixiang. The horse was frightened just now, and they were also scared, so they followed behind the carriage, a little bit behind.
"What's going on?" The soldiers protected Beixiang behind them and immediately put on a different face when facing Cheng Ran.
Cheng Ran looked at the soldiers of Beisheng without flinching in his momentum. "Horse-drawn carriages are not allowed to speed in the capital. Her Royal Highness the Princess's horse was startled and almost hit a child, so I subdued the horse and saved the child. If you want to investigate, then I will report the incident of Her Royal Highness the Princess driving a carriage to commit murder to the court, and ask the emperor to make a decision." Cheng Ran's voice was stern, and the people who heard it were all excited. No matter what the princess was doing, she had to follow the rules of the capital.
"You are making excuses. Someone obviously cut off our horse's legs and our princess is injured." The maidservant kept nagging at the fact that her princess was injured.
"What's going on?" At this time, another group of people came over, led by Night Owl.
"General, this is what happened..." Cheng Ran calmly recounted what happened.
"We didn't know the horse would be frightened. Why are you so unreasonable?" The little maid yelled at Cheng Ran.
"I am just stating a fact." Cheng Ran rolled his eyes at the little maid.
When Mi Mo saw this, she felt that if it wasn't for the wrong occasion, she would have applauded Cheng Ran, seeing that little look.
Beixiang originally wanted to keep silent and let the maid make a fuss. The horse was frightened and it had nothing to do with her. She was still the victim.
However, she saw Ye Xiao. It was the inn that Ye Xiao had arranged for her when she arrived in Dongqi that day. She secretly took a look at him from the sedan chair and was immediately attracted to him. It can be said that Ye Xiao's facial features, image and temperament all met her aesthetic standards. These days, she has been thinking about when she can see Ye Xiao again.
She came to Dongqi for the purpose of marriage. She heard that there were seven or eight princes of Dongqi who had reached adulthood, but several of them already had wives, and she could not be their concubine. Besides, she had not met those princes yet. However, this General Ye was very much to her taste.
"Beixiang greets General Ye!" Beixiang bowed slightly.
"Princess, you are polite! Is the princess injured?" Ye Xiao bowed and asked in a businesslike manner whether Bei Xiang was injured. After all, she was a foreign princess, and if she was injured in the capital, he, as the head of the patrol camp, would also be responsible.
But to Beixiang, these formal words meant that Ye Xiao cared about her, so her heart moved and her cheeks turned red.
"Big sister!" Mi You was furious when she saw the Northern Saint Princess being ambiguous with her brother-in-law.
"Don't worry, your brother-in-law won't pay any attention to her." Mi Yao still trusted Ye Xiao's character.
"My knees hurt so much!" Bei Xiang said softly, and suddenly fainted, and fell on Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao looked at Bei Xiang's body coming towards him and immediately took a step back.
"Bang!" Beixiang's body fell down magnificently, and she grimaced in pain.
"Princess..." The little maid hurried to serve Beixiang.
"General Ye, why did you avoid her? My princess is weak, and you, as General Dongqi, watched her die without helping her. Aren't you afraid of causing disputes between the two countries and leading to a war?" The little maidservant said aggressively.
"The relationship between the two countries is not something you, a little palace maid, can discuss. Your princess is weak, why don't you go back to the inn to rest?" Ye Xiao's attitude was extremely cold.
The little palace maid looked at Night Owl, not daring to act rashly, and helped the princess up.
Night Owl's men had already brought a horse, harnessed it to the carriage, and the coachman nervously whipped the horse as he left.
Beixiang sat in the carriage again, twisting the handkerchief in her hand and gritting her teeth tightly. "Yexiao, how dare you treat me like this? Aren't you indifferent to me? But I still want to stick to you. When Emperor Dongqi grants you the marriage, let's see where you can escape to?"
