The carriage stopped not far from them, but no one came down. They waited for a while, but when they saw that no one came down, they looked at each other and pretended not to see anything. They went their separate ways.
Shi Sheng leaned against the carriage and closed his eyes to rest. Bi Xi was brewing tea beside him.
She wanted to complain that there was no difference between brewing tea here and brewing tea in the manor.
But when she saw Shi Sheng's relaxed expression, she suppressed her complaints.
Shi Sheng stayed in the carriage. More and more people gathered outside, but no one came forward to disturb her. Instead, they pointed at the carriage and gossiped.
Bi Xi secretly lifted the curtain and peeked outside. When she heard the intermittent discussions, her expression turned ugly.
She slammed the curtain down and said angrily, "Your Highness, it was clearly the son of the Minister of Personnel who offended you first. Why are these people gossiping?"
If they were really the ones who had been molested, they might even try to kill themselves.
"No, they're going too far …" Bi Xi said as she tried to get out of the carriage.
"Let them talk," Shi Sheng said indifferently, "There are too many people who are jealous of me. It's not worth wasting my time on them."
Bi Xi's anger suddenly deflated like a balloon.
Your Highness, can you be any more narcissistic?
Just as they were talking, there was a sudden scream outside.
Bi Xi immediately lifted the curtain and looked outside. She saw splashing water from the lake in the distance and said in surprise, "Hey, someone fell into the water."
"Let's go down and take a look."
Hearing this, Bi Xi immediately helped Shi Sheng down.
The people who had been pointing at the carriage earlier were now gathered by the small lake and craning their necks to look into the lake.
Shi Sheng used her status as a princess to easily enter the lake.
The people around her consciously distanced themselves from Shi Sheng, so there was a vacuum around her.
Shi Sheng was happy. No one would complain about the spacious area.
At this moment, two people were struggling in the lake. One was the female lead, and the other was the girl in the blue dress who had spoken earlier.
The two of them sank in the lake, and the people on the shore rushed to save them.
In the end, the young masters in the distance noticed that something was wrong and ran over to save the two of them.
Yue Yao's hair was messy and her clothes were drenched. However, her figure wasn't that great, so nothing could be seen.
The girl in the blue dress was in a miserable state. Her figure was too good. Although the weather wasn't very hot, she was wearing thin clothes. When wet, her exquisite figure was immediately outlined vividly.
Many of the young masters who had run over to watch the show shamelessly glanced at the girl in the blue dress.
The blue skirt girl's face was pale, and she glared angrily at those people.
A few people who were on good terms with the blue skirt girl immediately stepped forward and used their bodies to block her. Some people even took off their cloaks and wrapped them around the blue skirt girl.
The others could only look away awkwardly. Everyone knew each other, and it would be beneath them to be too deliberate.
"Why did you fall into the water?" The people next to Blue Skirt Lady began to ask.
"It's all because of her, that jinx." The blue dress girl glared at Yue Yao. "You don't even know how to walk properly. Why did you come out?"
"I didn't do it on purpose." Yue Yao glared back, unwilling to be outdone. "Didn't I go down with you?"
"You still think you're in the right?" The blue dress girl frowned. "I think you did it on purpose."
"I didn't." Yue Yao really didn't do it on purpose. Who knew that she would fall? She just happened to be next to her.
"The road over there is so wide, but you didn't walk. You just had to walk in my direction. If you didn't do it on purpose, then what did you do?" The blue dress girl's IQ was probably online, as she spoke very eloquently.
The female lead loudly defended herself, but no one spoke up for her. She seemed a little pale.
She was married to Cang Lan, the prince charming in the hearts of all the women in Chang 'an City. If they didn't target her, who else would they target?
As the two of them talked, they suddenly started to fight. Shi Sheng counted silently in his heart.
If the female lead and the supporting female lead fell into the water, the male lead would definitely appear.
He would either help the female lead or the supporting female lead.
"Slap!!" Yue Yao slapped the blue dress girl in the face.
Shi Sheng counted down the last number in his heart.
"General Cang …"
Someone called out in a low voice and automatically stepped aside to make a path.
A tall and handsome figure quickly walked over from the distance. However, he wasn't looking at Yue Yao. Instead, he directly picked up the blue dress girl.
"Cang Lan …" Yue Yao panicked and raised her hand. "I …"
"Escort the Madam back to her residence," Cang Lan ordered indifferently, then left with the blue dress girl in his arms.
The blue dress girl wrapped her arms around Cang Lan's neck and raised her eyebrows at Yue Yao smugly when Cang Lan couldn't see her.
Yue Yao was so angry that her face alternated between green and white. However, when she turned her head, she was met with Shi Sheng's mocking smile.
She suddenly felt a surge of anger in her heart.
"Madam Cang, why are you looking at Her Highness like that? You don't even salute Her Highness when you see her. Is this how Chen teaches you? "Bi Xi spoke sternly. The first sentence was directed at Yue Yao, but the second sentence was directed at the others.
Being suddenly dragged into this matter, those people glared at Yue Yao angrily. Then, they reluctantly saluted Shi Sheng.
"Greetings, Princess Qing Guan."
Princess Qing Guan was the princess of South Jin, and they were the children of Chen's great families. If they were to be criticized here and word got out later, they would be the ones to lose face.
Shi Sheng didn't respond, and those people didn't dare to rise.
Yue Yao froze in place. She probably didn't want to salute, but the people around her kept glaring at her.
Yue Yao felt very wronged. 'Why do I have to suffer here?
I'm an immortal, you stupid mortals! '
"Since that's the case, you can all stand here with Madam Cang." Shi Sheng smiled maliciously. "You were disrespectful to this Princess, but I'm already being merciful by not reprimanding you. There's no need to thank me."
The group looked at each other. Rumors had it that Princess Qing Guan was arrogant, despotic, and unforgiving. They'd thought it was an exaggeration, but today, it seemed to be true.
Just because An Yue Yao didn't salute, they were all going to be punished …
They couldn't afford to offend Princess Qing Guan, so they could only add their hatred to Yue Yao.
Shi Sheng didn't give Yue Yao a chance to back out. He turned around and got into the carriage, lifted the curtains, and said to the people outside, "Just stand here for two hours. If anyone leaves first, this Princess will wait for you in the throne room."
'Now that I have the chance to torment these gossipers, I won't let it go.
I'm a very vengeful person. '
'Too bad I'm not the Princess of Chen. Otherwise, I'd make them kneel.'
The innocent crowd was speechless. 'We're just onlookers. Why do we have to be punished too?'
Standing by the lake for two hours was simply torture for these young masters and young ladies.
They'd heard that a few of those with weak bodies fell sick as soon as they returned home. They'd had a fever and a cold. Shi Sheng had even sent people to deliver tonics and told them to exercise more. It was too easy for them to fall sick just like that.
That's right, those were the exact words without any embellishment.
Those who heard it were ashamed and angry, but they couldn't vent their anger.
How could they blame others for their weak bodies?
However, Shi Sheng's infamy for being arrogant and despotic gradually spread throughout Chang 'an City.
