Consoling himself from the annoying encounter with Madam Yuan, Huang Ling Xi chose to take a little time by taking a walk through the market. A crowded place and very lively, very different from the residential house that is always quiet and gripping. Here, Ling Xi felt that she did not have to worry about anything, she was just an ordinary person and mingled with other humans.
Lots of knick-knacks, lots of produce, lots of florists because spring has come. The welcoming party yesterday, he felt that he had performed very well and was more prominent. Unfortunately, the crown prince and the empire did not see his efforts.
“Nona, buy this flower. This is perfect for you who are so graceful and beautiful!”
Huang Ling Xi turned her head, she stopped at a small flower shop on the outskirts of the market, her gaze falling on a white strand of lily. “I think you have misjudged me, uncle.” he told the old man of the florist.
“Is that so, miss?” he replied while scratching the temple, “Lily is planted in the meadow near the Zhu Jiang river, very beautiful and fragrant miss, may the lady be kind to buy this flower.”
“I also like to plant flowers, uncle.” replied Huang Ling Xi, “Alright, I bought some!”
“Thank you miss.”
The flower seller's uncle immediately gave Xu Li a few sprigs of Lily, he paid and they continued their journey. The flower was indeed beautiful, Huang Ling Xi thought of decorating her room and the mother's room.
One more way, they will be out of the market soon. The sun was already rising and they could not be late to return home before lunch time, or Liu Ning Yu would scold him all out. After purchasing this jade, Huang Ling Xi had to continue her archery and horse riding training with Master Zi He. A swordsman expert Liu Ning Yu hired to train the princess.
Brakk!!!
“Catch!!!”
“Catch that thief!!!”
“Capture him!!”
Brakkk .. Bruukkk!
“Nona, beware!”
Xu Li immediately pulled the miss before being hit by a boy and an old grandmother who ran away from the bakery owner. From the looks of it, they seemed to be vagabonds who did not have enough money to buy a piece of bread. There is no forgiveness for a thief.
The bakery owner who realized the bread was stolen then shouted to make a furore, a group of people finally ran after.
“Capture!”
“Catch those thieves!”
In the end, unable to find the best way to escape, a child and the old grandmother were caught. They were beaten and judged vilely before Huang Ling Xi's eyes. Seeing that injustice, Huang Ling Xi immediately walked over. “Nona, miss!”
“Nona, don't go there!” arrest Xu Li for not wanting the miss to be wretched.
“Xu Li, I can't stand by watching them oppress others!”
“Nona but …. “
“Hey you!!! Stop!!!”
Too late, Xu Li could not hold back the miss anymore. Now, Huang Ling Xi was already standing in the middle of those men and stretching out both of her hands. The little boy and grandmother who were being beaten took refuge at his feet, “Stop! It's not worth you treating them like that. They are children and old women, we are supposed to protect them!”
The second lady's words suddenly made people laugh, “Hey, miss, they are thieves, they have stolen bread in Bao Ji.” store
“I know!”
“If you know, why are you protecting a thief miss?!”
“Iyaaa!”
“Let's take them!!!”
The seven-year-old boy and the old grandmother kowtowed, begging for mercy and taking refuge at Huang Ling Xi's feet. “Although, do not take me to court, I was forced to steal bread because I could not pay. I have no money, please forgive me!”
“I beg you, sister alone is starving so there is no other way but to steal! Please forgive me!” I'm that boy.
“Please miss is willing to give us justice!”
“Please humility miss to the weak like us!”
The request made the second lady's heart touched. Behind his harsh nature and ambition, Huang Ling Xi was just an ordinary human who was helpless to see the tribulations of the people. There are so many homeless people in this city that it is so close to the imperial palace. Huang Ling Xi immediately prevented the moment the men were about to drag the little boy and old granny along. “Wait! Don't touch them!” her word.
“I will pay double for this bread, and you guys go no need to bother them anymore!” he said, “Xu Li, give them five taels!”
“Five taels is not enough, miss! This is definitely not their first time stealing in my store!” bao Ji said the baker.
“It's none of my business, my business is today, I saw them bring each one of those little loaves of bread. Have I given you five taels is it still lacking? The price of a small piece of bread is only one tael, right?” huang Ling Xi replied.
“But the miss is not enough, please give justice to my loss!” please Bao Ji.
Huang Ling Xi clenched her hands behind the arms of hanfu firmly, trying to remain calm and look at this unfortunate situation. “You've already beaten them! I will not give justice to those whose light hands hit children and parents!”
“But be it, give them ten taels, Xu Li!”
Bao Ji was about to protest, but seeing the lady's sharp gaze he was finally reluctant. The incident was abandoned by the residents who saw the excitement with enthusiasm. Afterwards, they kowtowed at Huang Ling Xi's feet for having saved them. “Thank you so much miss, thank you for the tenderness of miss!”
“Thank you miss, I will remember the services of miss!”
Huang Ling Xi only nodded twice.
He glanced at Xu Li, “Please buy them a new loaf of bread, a big piece of bread, because this bread is already dirty!”
“Good, miss.”
Xu Li left and managed to return with two large and numerous loaves of bread, he gave the lady the bread that was given to the old boy and woman. “This, take it, in the future do not steal again! I will not be kind enough to help you again!”
“Thank you, miss!”
“Xu Li, let's go!”
Huang Ling Xi led the way to leave the market, the day was already very scorching and she had to come back soon.
Without them noticing, there was a pair of eyes staring at them from a famous JiangMiang restaurant. Those expensive porcelain tea cups were placed without interest, “Yu Ze!”
“Yes, Your Highness Xuan!”
“Who is he?”
“She is the second miss Huang Han Su, Huang Ling Xi.”
