Chapter 215 - 215: Staying at an Inn

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yu Yunxi held the sleeping little bun’s hand tightly as she reminded Feng Yili seriously, “You have to be careful…”

“I will.’

At this moment, an employee ran out and asked enthusiastically, “Dear guests, do you plan to eat here or stay here?”

“Both,” Jiang Ying replied in a deep voice.

The employee said worriedly, “Sir, our inn is small, and there are many guests at this moment. I’m afraid I won’t have enough rooms for all of you.”

“It’s fine. How many rooms do you have left?” Jiang Ying asked.

The employee thought about it for a moment before he said, “About six rooms.”

“Alright, we’ll take all six rooms,” Jiang Ying said, doing some calculations inwardly.

The secret guards could sleep anywhere. The most important thing was that the Prince Regent and the Princess Regent had a room to sleep in.

“Alright. By the way, Sir, we have a few sheds for storing firewood in the backyard. Although they’re a little shabby, they’re clean. Sometimes, some guests would stay there when we didn’t have enough rooms. If you don’t mind..

“Alright. I’ll have to trouble you with clearing out the sheds,” Jiang Ying said with a nod and took out a bag of money.

The employee’s eyes lit up immediately.

“Please come in, Sir.”

Feng Weiping lifted the curtain of the carriage and walked down. Seeing the simple and crude inn, her expression was extremely ugly.

“This place is too shabby. Are we really going to spend the night here?”

Jian Xin heard these words when she alighted from the carriage behind. She said coldly, “If the Fourth Princess dislikes it, why don’t you stay in the carriage? There’s no need to complain about it.”

Jian Xin had never liked Feng Weiping’s behavior. Later on, she also found out that the latter always caused trouble for Yu Yunxi so her dislike for the latter also grew. With this, she naturally was not polite to the latter.

“Do you think you’re still my Eldest Imperial Sister-in-law? What right do you have to lecture me?” Feng Weiping said disdainfully.

At some point, Gao Shixuan had appeared next to them. She persuaded them gently, “Fourth Princess, Sister Jian, don’t be angry.”

Then, Gao Shixuan said to Feng Weiping patiently, “Fourth Princess, when I was in Nanyue, I’d heard that you’re very virtuous. How could you make a fuss about such a small matter? We’re in the middle of nowhere, and it’s not easy to find an inn. If you’re not used to it, you can get someone to clean the room later.”

After being praised by Gao Shixuan, Feng Weiping’s expression eased a lot. She scoffed coldly and said, “It’s rare to meet someone as sensible as you.”

Then, Feng Weiping said to her maidservant, “Cui Yu, go and find the best room for me.’

“Yes, Fourth Princess,” Cui Yu said, helping Feng Weiping in.

Seeing Gao Shixuan’s sincere attitude, Jian Xin could not say her original words. In the end, she only said, “Thank you, Miss Gao. Let’s go in.”

When Yu Yunxi saw Jian Xin and the others, she hurried over and said, “Nan

Xun and the secret guards will share a room. Feng Yili and I will share a room. Feng Weiping will have a room to herself. Young Marquis Luo, Yu Yongnian, and Liu Xiaolan will share a room. The generals will share a room. The rest will stay in the sheds. There’s only one room left so, Sister Jian, you..

Before Yu Yunxi finished speaking, Jian Xin interjected gently, “Let Qian Qing, Qian Jiao, and Qian Mei share a room with me. I wonder if Miss Gao…’ Jian Xin looked at Gao Shixuan inquisitively as she spoke.

Gao Shixuan smiled and said, “I’m used to wandering around after I left the sect. I don’t care about such trivial matters. I’ll just stay with Sister Jian as well…”

“Then it’s settled. After dinner, everyone can rest. We still have to travel tomorrow morning,” Yu Yunxi said in a low voice.

“Alright.”

There were too many of them. The employees had to bring out more tables and put them together to accommodate everyone.

After sitting down, Qian Ji quickly came over to report to Yu Yunxi while they waited for the dishes to be served.

“County Princess, we’ve searched the area. We didn’t find anything unusual.” “Okay. But we still can’t let our guard down,” Yu Yunxi said seriously.

“Yes, County Princess.”

After the food was served, everyone quickly filled their stomachs. It did not matter if the food was delicious or not as long as they were full.

Yu Yunxi saw a maidservant carrying a tray of food upstairs so she asked Qian

Qing, “What’s that maidservant doing?”

“The Fourth Princess thinks everyone is beneath her and isn’t worthy of eating with her. For this reason, she’s eating alone,” Qian Qing said icily.

‘So that’s what it is… How very… noble of her…’

Yu Yunxi turned around and called out, “Third Brother.”

Yu Yongnian quickly replied, “What is it, Eldest Sister?”

“Keep an eye on the Fourth Princess’ room tonight. If anything happens, remember to protect her,” Yu Yunxi reminded Yu Yongnian seriously. She did not remind him because she cared about Feng Weiping. It was only because if something happened to Feng Weiping, it would be troublesome for her and Feng Yili, and she hated trouble the most.

“Why do you want me to keep an eye on her room? I’m a man, I…” Yu Yongnian said. His expression was hard to describe at this moment.

“That’s because Feng Weiping doesn’t want anyone but you, ” Yu Yunxi said with a helpless sigh.

Yu Yongnian’s face flushed red immediately. He gritted his teeth and said,

“Eldest Sister, don’t tease me. I’ll keep an eye on her room as you said.”

After getting along for a few days, Yu Yunxi and Yu Yongnian were like ordinary siblings.

Yu Yunxi raised an eyebrow when she saw Yu Yongnian’s reaction. It seemed like he was really not interested in Feng Weiping.

‘It’s good that he’s not interested in her… He became a general at such a young age. If he marries the Fourth Princess, it means that he’ll no longer be able to be an official in court…

“Junjin is still asleep. I’m going to bring him something to eat,” Yu Yunxi said calmly before she brought a few buns, which the little bun loved to eat, to the second floor.

However, just as Yu Yunxi was about to go upstairs, a drunkard came to her. His clothes were tattered, and he reeked of alcohol. He chuckled and said with a lewd expression on his face, “Beauty, come and accompany me.”

“County Princess!”

When Qian Ji and the others saw this, they quickly drew their swords. Feng Yili’s expression turned cold immediately. Without any hesitation, he threw a wine cup at the drunkard’s knee.

In the next moment, the drunkard fell heavily to the ground.

Just as the others were about to make a move, Yu Yunxi stopped them with her eyes..
