Yan Pei once again stretched her head over to see Lin Shuo riding a horse, following the carriage in front, frequently glancing toward the carriage, showing extre concern for the person inside.
Yan Pei was furious, angrily pulled down the curtain on this side, and leaned back, almost lying down.
Though she was terribly angry, she also felt a faint envy.
When would she ever have two such outstanding n running around for her? That would be nice.
Yan Pei knew that although she was fairly good-looking, her father and brother’s reputations outside were not very good.
Their family rose to wealth because her father passed the imperial examinations; though now her father and brother wielded power in the court, they had no real roots in Capital City, unlike those nobility families intertwined through marriage.
Because of this, her marriage was not easy to arrange.
Those aristocratic families who think highly of themselves are unwilling to marry into their family, while those willing have nothing good to offer.
Last year’s imperial exams, her father didn’t think to catch a son-in-law from the rankings, and this year she’s already sixteen. If she doesn’t get engaged soon, it will be too late.
She had only just set her sights on the Young Master, only to find out he already had soone!
Lying in the carriage, Yan Pei thought for a while and, with the bumpy ride, slowly fell asleep.
Yun Jiao sat in the carriage and quickly noticed many more guards, but Jiang Youzhi said the Princess worried about his safety on the way back, so she didn’t think much of it.
Not long after, Jiang Youzhi ntioned that his carriage was more comfortable, and after so persuasion, he got Yun Jiao to switch to that carriage.
Jiang Youzhi accompanied Yun Jiao for a while, and who would’ve guessed that with a sudden bump, the cup of tea he held spilled all over Yun Jiao.
Yun Jiao’s pale yellow jacket got wet, and even her cloak was slightly damp.
In this great winter, wearing wet clothes was definitely not acceptable.
Jiang Youzhi quickly asked the maid, "Did you bring any spare clothes?"
Hui Xiang pulled out a bundle from the carriage, "I did."
Jiang Youzhi reached over to help Yun Jiao take off her cloak and put his own cloak over her.
Then he turned Yun Jiao’s cloak inside out to expose the fur lining and folded it very carefully.
Afterwards, he instructed Hui Xiang, "Attend to the young lady while she changes."
"Pack the clothes taken off into the bundle tightly."
Hui Xiang was a bit puzzled, not understanding why the young master gave so many instructions. However, thinking about how attentive and ticulous he always was toward the young lady, she nodded.
Jiang Youzhi quickly exited the carriage, went back to his own to put on a cloak, and continued riding his horse.
Inside the carriage, Hui Xiang swiftly helped Yun Jiao change her clothes.
Beside them, as soon as the clothes ca off, Cai Ping hurried to help dress Yun Jiao.
Yun Jiao chuckled, "Earlier you suggested bringing a change of clothes, and I said it wasn’t needed, but it turns out it was really useful."
Hui Xiang folded the clothes neatly as she laughed, "These clothes naturally have their use when brought along."
"So particular young ladies need to change clothes after als, disliking the sll of food on them."
Yun Jiao laughed, "Then there’d be nothing to do all day! Just getting ready in the morning might take an hour, then you’d have to remove makeup for a nap after lunch, get up to change clothes and style your hair again, and then change again after dinner. My goodness, it’s just too complicated."
The two maids laughed, and Cai Ping said, "Isn’t this how young ladies live their days?"
Yun Jiao sighed, "I couldn’t live like that, doing nothing all day feels like a complete waste of life."
As she spoke, the clothes were already changed.
