20 Parade of Royalties (2/2)

As lazy as she is, she stood up and followed him. She just wash off her face then change her clothes and report to him early in the morning.

That same morning Bai Shin Lin was force along with the oldies in the camp to find an animal manure. It seems that bandits didn't only care for the wealth they could get from their stealing but also they cultivated the land and sell them down in the capital. She was force to partake with this chores.

{you think I'll find it hard finding manure, you bet! I'm not your typical princess wannabe here! just you wait and I'll collect even more than you could imagine}

After they finish collection she proudly present her 1 sack of animal dung to Xiang Xia however, when other ladies get in there each carries either 2 or three sacks! The heck. Where did they find lots of it!

The oldies lined up in front of Xiang Xia and one by one, he give them their fare share of money. How much is it?

100 silver coins for one sack? That could pretty buy her 2 bowls of soup in the capital.

She taught of her dreams last night. She really wanna eat them. She's craving burgers with bundles of cheese on them! and pizzas and fries! She wanna go to the jollibee !macdonalds ! greenwich! Those spots. It seems it becomes a heavenly place when she thinks highly of it.

When they receive their payment, she was dragged by those woman to the capital.They were preparing to buy ingredients and housewares.

and it's a perfect time for her to run-away!

Much to her demise, Xiang Xia followed her all the way to the capital wearing her rich girl princess outfit. Allthe way there she could feel his heavy stare on her that she felt uncomfortable all the way. However, those ladies are just nonchalantly chitchatting with him. Makes her wonder if they knew his true identity, would they still even talk like ear to ear and giggle like crazy.

The capital's bustling with people. It's the customary of this place to be this everyday hectic. But the number of people compared to when she was at this place last time was far more great. There are lots of decorative banners andfood stalls lining on the streets.

The side walls was well plastered with the Imperial flag. Every corner of it.

”what's the matter with the capital today? it's more busier than usual?” she blurted out of the blue.

” You didn't know?there's a parade of royalty” the waiter of the restaurantheard her speak and answered.

”do they need to do that?it seems extravagant?”

”uhm, well there's new monarchy sitting on the throne now and they want everyone to know that. Itextravagant? yes? and their just wasting the taxes of their people, boasting it like it were theirs”

Not long before she heard him speak, a loud trumpet sounded through the whole place. When she goes out to peek.There's a huge caravan and in the middle an extravagant looking carriage. If she's not mistaken it carries the royalties.

The order of the parade goes like, first the soldiers on march, next the prime ministers, nobles and high ranking officials then the carriage that holds the new monarch.

(tsk. damn royalties. They didn't really care of the drought coming yet they luxuriously pursue this event?) man 1

(the emperor had died, so who's gonna sit next now that his son is a criminal?) man 2

(well, that would gonna leave the authority on the empress) man 3

Bai Shin Lin was intently listening to their conversation that someone caught her eyes. The man was elegantly riding a horse. His silver colored hair radiates through the hot rays of sun.

{Lou Ren...} It's the first time he saw him after all the happenings. She felt a little pinch in her heart. From afar, he really is handsome. She stop herself from fan girling and stays calm. It would be troublesome if she would discover by then.

She tried to blend in with the crowd and with twinkling eyes look at himbut then, she was mortified when she saw a girl riding with him hugging his back. The girl exudes a noble like princess.

It was Mengmeng!

A young girl beside her shouted like some crazy fan upon seeing Lou Ren on the view.

(KYAHHHHHHHH LOU REN !adviser Lou Ren notice me!!!)

The girls voice echoed throughout the crowd that Lou Ren finally take a little peek of this crazy girl and that's when he catch a glimpse of her. She could feel her heart skip for the moment their eyes met.

She was the first to avert her eyes from him.

(Hey watch your mouth. Your a disgrace already!) a woman scolded the girl beside her. They were too loud that she could hear their entire conversation.

The girl pouted. ”What of it. Its not that I could get him home to be my husband right? Its my only opportunity yet your stopping me.)

(Aiya! this girl! Don't you know that the adviser has already a betrothed person? Don't you see the beautiful lady clinging to him?are your love that blind that didn't see her?”

Her eyes widened. Her eyes shifted on the silvered haired person riding a horse.

{It's not true right?Heh! You're kidding me?}
