Chapter 876: Chapter 762, A Lesson 2 Chapter 876: Chapter 762, A Lesson 2 The light boat swayed, and Daohua closed her eyes in tranquility, drifting off to sleep without realizing it.
“Miss, wake up!”
Daohua was awakened by Wang Manman’s nudge.
“What ti is it?”
Rubbing her eyes, Daohua sat up, “Where are third brother and fourth brother?”
Wang Manman smiled and said, “It’s already noon, Third Master just took Miss Zhou ashore, and Fourth Master and Miss Su are still behind us.”
Now fully awake, Daohua jumped ashore as soon as the boat reached the bank.
“Take it slow.”
Yan Wentao quickly steadied Daohua, with a slightly embarrassed look. He and his younger brother had both assud Ye Yang would definitely co with them; unexpectedly, Ye Yang had a last-minute issue and couldn’t make it, leaving Daohua to accompany them today.
The people of Beijing liked to co to Luwei Bay to cool off, and with the crowds ca the vendors, and tea houses and inns sprang up nearby.
After Yan Wenkai and Su Shiyu went ashore, the group ordered so food at a nearby teahouse.
“I’ve heard the Glass Factory in Beijing is nearby. This Princess wants to have a look. You lead the way.”
An arrogant voice rang out.
Upon hearing this, Daohua and the others couldn’t help but turn their heads and saw Yelu Qianhua, dressed in a long, fire-red dress.
Only officials from the Ministry of Works could enter the Glass Factory in Beijing, and naturally, the accompanying officials were reluctant to do so.
“Princess Qianhua, you cannot go to the Glass Factory…”
Before the sentence was finished, Yelu Qianhua drew her whip from her waist and with a ‘crack’ struck the official.
In an instant, the official’s robe was shredded, revealing a bloody and mangled wound.
Yelu Qianhua looked domineeringly at the official, “Can this Princess go or not?”
The official, sweating profusely from the pain, clenched his teeth and said, “Without the Emperor’s decree, no one is allowed to go, no matter who they are.”
A fury crossed Yelu Qianhua’s face as she raised her whip again. But just at that mont, soone in the teahouse stood up and grabbed Yelu Qianhua’s wrist tightly.
“You have a lot of nerve, daring to stop this Princess!”
“And you have a lot of nerve, you minor Xiliao Princess, whipping a Daxia official. Who gave you such boldness?” Wu Xirong lashed back furiously, then with a strong tug, she pushed Yelu Qianhua away.
Yelu Qianhua stumbled back a few steps to steady herself, narrowed her eyes at Wu Xirong, then roared furiously, “Guards, seize this ignorant wretch for this Princess!”
Instantly, several Xiliao bodyguards surrounded Wu Xirong.
“Oh, what a great display; does the Xiliao Delegation intend to run wild in Daxia?” Kang Naixin quickly stepped in front of Wu Xirong.
The guards both parties brought with them also ran in from outside, confronting the Xiliao bodyguards.
Regarding Wu Xirong and Kang Naixin with a cold gaze, Yelu Qianhua sneered, “So you have soone high up supporting you, do you? But even with your backers, if you dare to disrupt the good relations between Xiliao and Daxia, I think the Emperor of Daxia will also punish your cris.”
Kang Naixin rebuked loudly, “What are you, to presu upon the Emperor’s thoughts?”
Seeing that not even Kang Naixin was afraid when the Emperor of Daxia was brought up, Yelu Qianhua instantly paled, realizing that the identities of the two before her might be very high. She said coldly, “I will personally report your disrespectful actions towards today to the Emperor of Daxia.”
With that, she led the Xiliao bodyguards out of the teahouse.
Daohua and her companions’ table was right next to the doorway, and since it was noon and the place was crowded, the tables and stools jutted slightly into the path.
Feeling slighted with nowhere to vent, Yelu Qianhua said nothing; she raised her whip and lashed out.
As everyone thought another person would be injured, the whip did not fall.
Seeing her whip firmly caught in Yan Wentao’s hand, unable to move an inch, a chill ran through Yelu Qianhua’s heart.
Damn it, could there be another untouchable person involved?
“Release this Princess’ hand!”
Yan Wentao obediently let go, but as he did, Yelu Qianhua was sent flying, heavily tumbled over a table, and all the food spilled onto her.
“Princess!”
The Xiliao bodyguards rushed over to help Yelu Qianhua to her feet.
Looking at the food stains dripping down her, Yelu Qianhua was so furious she wanted to kill, pointing at Yan Wentao she ordered, “Seize this man for this Princess!”
Watching the Xiliao bodyguards charge toward him, Yan Wentao snorted in derision. Without even leaving his seat, he swiftly threw them out of the teahouse.
“This is Daxia. Since you are here on a visit, you ought to have the deanor of a visitor.”
Yan Wentao looked coldly at Yelu Qianhua, “You may leave now.”
With a face full of sha and rage, Yelu Qianhua stared at Yan Wentao, “You wait for this Princess; I will imdiately go to the palace and report to the Emperor of Daxia, so he may deal with you severely.”
Saying this, she hurried out of the teahouse, mounted her horse, and led the Xiliao bodyguards toward the city gate.
“The official is already injured, there’s no need to follow so closely. Even if the Emperor inquires, he’s unlikely to bla you,” said Daohua, imdiately stopping the Daxia official who wanted to follow.
The official looked at Wu Xirong and Kang Naixin, then at Daohua and her group, uncertainty on his face.
Just then, exclamations ca from the front.
They saw that, after running out a hundred ters, the horses bearing Yelu Qianhua’s group began to act wildly—rearing, bolting, bucking—and in just a mont, the Xiliao people were thrown from their horses.
Seeing this, the official shuddered with terror, even more horrified when the girl who had just told him not to pursue uttered with a look of regret, “What a pity.”
The Xiliao people were adept at riding and training horses; Daohua had drugged the horses, but it was a pity, the Xiliao reacted too quickly and although they were unseated, they were not much injured.
“That Xiliao Princess, she’s not as willful and brash as she seems. Third brother and fourth brother, you must be more careful,” said Daohua.
