Chapter 158: 157 Carriage and Carriage
Robin with a diamond crown... Royal emblem?
Looking back through the air vent behind the carriage, after seeing the robin emblem carved on the front of the luxury carriage, the young woman in the two-wheeled carriage couldn't help but sink her face. The smile that carried a little cunning in her hearty manner instantly turned into boundless indignation as if a storm was coming.
"Behind... should be Prince Watching Watching Qiaoshuya's carriage."
Looking at the cargo carriages that were overturned one after another after being pushed off the road, and those small merchants who crawled out of the carriages and hurriedly picked up goods, glaring at the luxury carriage with anger but not daring to speak, the middle-aged noblewoman's expression was also somewhat ugly.
Although she was also extremely dissatisfied with the style of the other Prince, after seeing the indignation that deepened in the young woman's eyebrows, she still hurriedly persuaded:
"Your Highness Veronica, you sneaked out today. Not only do you have no honor guard, but you don't even have a guard team.
If you go out now, not only will you ruin the Lionheart Duke's succession ceremony, but if the rebels know you are here, it will definitely cause a big mess!"
"Hmm... I know..."
Closing her eyes and taking a deep breath, the lively and cheerful girl disappeared completely, returning to the solemn and majestic appearance of the past.
After gazing once more at the luxurious carriage behind her, the young woman—or rather, Princess Veronica—withdrew her gaze and ordered with a calm expression:
"Drive the carriage to the side of the road, let Watching Watching Qiaoshuya's carriage pass first. After the succession ceremony is completely over, have someone write today's events into a booklet in the tone of those small merchants and hand it to me. Try to write the content as miserably as possible."
Hearing this, the middle-aged noblewoman was slightly stunned, then asked with some confusion:
"Are you planning to take the booklet to complain to His Majesty and ask him to restrain Prince Watching Watching Qiaoshuya's behavior?"
"No. When competing with nobles for the Ministry of Finance in the past, Father owed Watching Watching Qiaoshuya's mother too much, so he is too indulgent to him. Even if he knows he did such a thing, he will at most scold him verbally."
The Princess shook her head, looking at the luxury carriage passing at high speed, and said faintly:
"If you really want to solve the problem, this booklet should be poked to the Lower House and handed to those members who have been staring at me and picking on my faults, giving them a chance to play on the topic.
No matter how I persuade, it's useless. Only when the face of the entire Royal Family is beaten and hurt, and a large piece of practical interest is cut off, will Father's slap fall on Watching Watching Qiaoshuya's face, letting him know what should be done and what should not be done."
"Your Highness, you are really..."
After hearing the Princess's words, the middle-aged noblewoman couldn't help but chuckle, then looked at the distant luxury carriage and shook her head:
"According to His Majesty's temper, Prince Watching Watching Qiaoshuya will probably be miserable this time. If you are 'forced' by those members to have to give up some things, Prince Watching Watching Qiaoshuya will probably not have a carriage to ride for half a year."
Just getting a slap, and then not having a carriage for half a year, can that be called miserable?
Hearing the middle-aged noblewoman's words, the Princess didn't speak, but looked through the carriage window at the dozens of carriages overturned on the side of the road and the size of the cargo boxes broken on the side of the road.
It had just rained a little last night. Even in a place like Redwood Avenue that had been carefully repaired, the side of the road was inevitably muddy and had some puddles.
Among the goods transported by these small merchants, the porcelain and lamps that were directly smashed go without saying. Things like coal, flour, and spices cannot touch water.
The remaining things like silk ribbons used to decorate the succession ceremony, after being stained with mud, could not be accepted by the Laien family. It could be said that they would definitely make a wasted trip.
And because the Charle Department Store had to carry out low-price sales for more than half a month in a row to protect itself, the life of the small merchants was already very difficult. Supplying goods for the Laien family's succession ceremony this time was a rare opportunity for them.
If she guessed correctly, many people's payment for goods were owed, and possibly even borrowed loans, but now they were all overturned on the side of the road by Watching Watching Qiaoshuya's guards.
If she were to let go and not intervene, these horses...
"Forget it, I won't go to the succession ceremony."
Looking at the silk ribbons falling in the mud and several merchants crying bitterly on the side of the road, the Princess couldn't help but shake her head helplessly, waving her hand with a lack of interest:
"Let's go, let's find Watching Watching Qiaoshuya's guards and let him pay for the people first. Otherwise, I'm afraid some of these people will..."
"Make way! Make way!"
"Why did the cargo truck get on the dedicated lane? Get down quickly!"
"Push them all down! Behind is the Duke's carriage, the time for the succession ceremony will be delayed!"
Hearing the noise coming from behind again, the Princess's brow frowned again, and she leaned her body out of the carriage window, looking toward the rear.
The new carriage that came this time was pulled by eight tall and strong Shire horses, almost completely occupying the road nearly ten meters wide. The luxury degree was even better than Watching Watching Qiaoshuya's carriage.
The sandalwood carriage carved with the golden-crowned lion emblem was not only studded with gilded copper nails everywhere, but also inlaid with pieces of jewelry on the carriage walls, and even the white steel wheels were pressed with prints similar to beast feet, leaving traces like lion footprints on the ground where it drove, almost reaching the extreme in every place within the regulations.
Lionheart Duke's carriage? Trouble...
Looking at the road that was chaotic again, the Princess sighed secretly in her heart.
In order to avoid that bastard Watching Watching Qiaoshuya, most of the carriages in front went down from the dedicated lane side. Many had just barely driven back to the road. Just restoring order would take at least twelve or thirteen minutes, and it was impossible to dodge again.
And that new Lionheart Duke, if he wanted to rush to Laien Manor within the normal time, he would probably have to learn from that bastard Watching Watching Qiaoshuya and forcibly overturn these carriages, probably staining a large batch of things again...
"All stop!"
Just as the Princess hesitated whether to expose her identity and go to talk to that Lionheart Duke for a while, giving these small merchants some time to move the carriages, a head suddenly poked out of the carriage window, stopping the guards who were preparing to overturn the carriages.
"What are you driving people away for? Is such a wide road not enough... Hmm..."
Looking at the dedicated lane that was half-occupied in front, and estimating the width of the flashy carriage he was sitting in, finding that it was indeed not enough, Li Ang swallowed the second half of the sentence silently, then turned to glare at the gorgeously dressed old man with hot sweat on his face beside him, full of dissatisfaction:
"I said there was no need to take a carriage, walking there wouldn't take long, but you guys have too many things. I arrived and had to let me come back and walk again... Look! It's blocked!"
Being topped by Li Ang's words, feeling a sense of grievance in his heart, but really having no way to deal with him, the old butler of the former Duke could only accompany with a smiling face and bitterly persuade:
"Duke! Taking this 'Lionheart Carriage' into the manor is our Laien family's tradition, and also part of the succession ceremony. Please endure it for a while longer, just a little while!" ===== CHAPTER 159 =====
"My Lord Duke! Sitting in this 'Lionheart Carriage' to enter the manor is a tradition of our Laien family and part of the ceremony for inheriting the title. Please, I beg you to endure it a little longer, just a little longer!"
