Jiang Ying was actually quite worried about Ning Yue. What if she was injured by the refugees?
He quickly called out to Baili, “Baili, go and watch Yueyue in case she’s injured by the mob.”
The escapees entered the Imperial City and surrounded Prince Jin’s Residence. There would definitely be one or two people leading the initiative. These people were not good people. Who knew if they would hurt Ning Yue?
Ning Yue had just walked to the door when she heard Uncle Su advising the refugees, “Everyone, please rest for a while. Our master will be out soon.”
At this moment, someone said, “We waited all night. Last night, we were worried that the Heir was resting, so we didn’t disturb him. It’s already daytime. What is the Heir still busy with?”
When Ning Yue heard this, she sneered. “Do you want to say that Jiang Ying is lazy, or that his private life is indecent? What has it got to do with them? This is clearly organized trouble.”
After Ning Yue muttered to herself, she opened the door and walked to the entrance of Prince Jin’s residence with a serious expression.
“Why are you causing trouble in front of Prince Jin’s residence?” Ning Yue asked this group of people coldly.
“Who are you? Tell the heir to come out and see us!” The refugee standing at the front said.
He had thought that Jiang Ying would come out. He looked up and was about to speak when he realized that it was a woman. His eyes revealed contempt.
Ning Yue was very unhappy with his gaze. This man was another person who discriminated against women. Was he blinded by shit?
“How impressive. You’re asking a prince to meet you. The emperor assigned him an important mission. This mission is beneficial to the country and the people. Do you want him to put down his work to meet you?” Ning Yue said coldly.
For a moment, her aura grew stronger and stronger, giving the refugees a fright.
Although Ning Yue did not do anything to the refugees, her aura alone made people fear her.
Even the leader who looked down on women was frightened by Ning Yue. He took a long time to calm down before coming back to his senses.
He sneered and said, “A woman like you can’t replace Prince Jin! Ask the Heir to come out and talk to us.”
“Wow! Can’t I represent the Prince Jin’s Residence?” Ning Yue waved her hand. “Uncle Su, go and bring out a chair. I have to listen to these people carefully. How did they conclude that I, the future heir consort, can’t represent the Prince Jin’s Residence?”
“The soon-to-be heir consort of the Prince Jin’s Residence?” The leader looked at Ning Yue in surprise.
He did not expect this woman to be Jiang Ying’s fiancee. He should have thought of it long ago. Apart from her, which other woman could speak for Prince Jin at this time?
“Yes, why aren’t you greeting me? Are you looking down on the royal family?” As soon as she finished speaking, the entire place fell silent.
After a while, the leader gritted his teeth and hurriedly bowed. The other refugees hurriedly followed.
“Greetings, Princess Mingyue.”
“Everyone, there’s no need to be so polite. Get up.” Ning Yue waved her hand and turned to whisper to Uncle Su.
The leader was very curious when he saw Ning Yue whispering to Uncle Su. He knew that Princess Mingyue had a lot of ideas.
When Uncle Su heard this, his eyes lit up and he jogged away.
At this moment, a servant brought out a chair.
However, apart from Ning Yue’s own chair, the chairs of the refugees were all those commonly seen in ordinary people’s houses.
Disdain flashed in the leader’s eyes. Although this chair was not dirty, it was ugly and small. It would make people uncomfortable.
“Princess, the chair you’re sitting on is so good. Why is the chair I have to sit on so shabby?” A trace of disdain flashed across the leader’s eyes.
Ning Yue noticed him. This person had a clear mind. When she said that she was Jiang Ying’s fiancee, he immediately knew that she was Princess Mingyue.
She wouldn’t be surprised if the people in the fief of Prince Jin had heard about her, but this person wasn’t a commoner in the fief of Prince Jin. It was strange that he still knew her.
Under normal circumstances, the emperor’s imperial edict would only be directly informed to all the princes. Of course, the commoners on the ground wouldn’t be informed, so he shouldn’t know her name.
Therefore, Ning Yue felt that there was something wrong with this person.
She calculated in her heart that after this farce was over, she would catch this person and interrogate him..
