After sitting upright in Shuya Palace for a while, Yun Shang felt a little sore in her waist. She leaned against the fur blanket on the carriage and had a rest. After passing the Wen Wu Road, they heard cries of street vendors from time to time, which was very lively.
After the carriage went for a while, Yun Shang suddenly sensed a sweet smell from outside, like the smell of chestnut cake. Yun Shang always liked osmanthus cake, so she didn't have much feeling for chestnut cake. But at the very moment, she was suddenly attracted by the sweet smell.
Yun Shang sat up straight, lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out. Next to her was a shop selling chestnut cakes with a lot of customers in it. Yun Shang looked around and found there are many shops selling snacks. In addition to the chestnut cakes, there were also some snacks such as hibiscus cakes and lotus leaf steamed cakes.
The last time Yun Shang went shopping was in Jin'an Town, and that couldn't not be considered shopping. It was just a walk with Prince Rui after dinner.
"Your Highness, do you want to go shopping?" Looking at Yun Shang's expression, Qin Yi and Qian Liu couldn't help but smile at each other before Qin Yi asked.
Yun Shang rolled her eyes and turned to Qian Liu, "Are the secret guards following us?"
Qian Liu smiled, "Of course. His Highness has ordered them to protect Your Highness."
Yun Shang wasn't afraid of encountering any assassins, but since she was pregnant now, she felt more responsible. Hearing this, she nodded and made up her mind. "Let's go and have a look."
After getting off the carriage, Yun Shang pointed at the queue in front of the chestnut cake shop, "Qian Liu, buy me three pieces of chestnut cake."
Qian Liu answered with a smile. Then Yun Shang asked the coachman to go back first. It was sunny today, and the sun suddenly became brighter. Yun Shang hadn't felt hot in the Palace, but now she felt a thin layer of sweat on her forehead after standing outside for a while. Yun Shang took Qin Yi to the shadow under the eaves of the other side of the street. Qin Yi took off Yun Shang's cloak and took it in her hand.
Yun Shang looked around and saw a lotus leaf steamed cake shop next to the chestnut cake shop. There were no fresh lotus leaves in this season, so it should be steaming the cakes with dry lotus leaves. But the fragrance of the lotus leaves was refreshing.
"Your Highness, do you want to try some lotus leaf steamed cake?" Seeing Yun Shang were staring at the shop, Qin Yi asked.
Yun Shang thought for a while and nodded, "three portions."
Qin Yi was afraid that it was not safe to leave Yun Shang there alone. Yun Shang smiled and said two words to Qin Yi silently, "secret guards."
Qin Yi looked at the lotus leaf steamed cake shop again. There were not many people, and it wouldn't take long. She thought for a while and walked over.
Yun Shang stood alone under the eaves. As she went out today for the Palace, she didn't wear the curtained hat. With an outstanding appearance, Yun Shang attracted many people's attention even she was just standing quietly. As Yun Shang was looking for something else to eat, she suddenly heard a voice with a little bit of levity. "Oh, the beautiful little lady is really as pretty as a fairy. Where do you come from? Why haven't I seen you before?"
Yun Shang turned around and saw a man in his twenties standing aside. He was dressed in green clothes embroidered with golden patterns, and carried all kinds of messy things, including golden necklace, golden waistband, and several jade pendants hanging around his waist.
Yun Shang sneered and ignored him.
The man seemed to be irritated by Yun Shang's behavior. His face turned red and his eyes widened. "I'm asking you! Mind your behavior! I'm from the Field Marshal's Mansion. If you offend me, I'll destroy your family and take you as a concubine. I'll make you kneel down on my bed and beg me."
Field Marshal's Mansion?
Yun Shang frowned. There could only be only one Field Marshal's Mansion in Field Marshal, and that was the Su clan's mansion. She had met every son of Su Qi, but she had no impression of this man.
