Ji Man was also considering this problem. When she normally went out to buy something, she was always riding in a carriage or sedan chair. For her to accompany this lively, spirited, and active princess wasn't her status a bit unsuitable?

Unexpectedly, the imperial noble consort had already planned for this issue. She covered her smiling lips and said, "The princess is a noble guest. Bring along Sir Ning as the two of you take the princess out for sightseeing. This way, you'll be able to walk around freely without worries. This consort had also already asked Marquis Moyu and Sie Nie to borrow the two of you for a few days. The two of you are about the same age as the princess, so the three of you will be at ease to enjoy yourselves."

The empress sneered. "Younger sister Ninglu, this empress is worried that this conduct would be somewhat improper."

"Your Majesty, you don't need to worry," the imperial noble consort smiled and said, "The emperor has given this consort authority over handling this matter, so Ninglu will be responsible for arranging everything. If Sangyu and Errong aren't suitable to accompany the princess, isn't there still Sir Ning?"

It should be said that the focus of all this was Sir Ning.

In accordance to his agreement with Nie Sangyu, Ning Mingjie had already gone to Luoyan Pagoda. The next step was to figure out how to get Princess Pengyue over there.

With an unsmiling face, the empress didn't say another word. In the harem, the status of each woman was based on how much favor they received. The imperial noble consort had been quite favored recently because of the fourth prince. There wasn't much that she could say after the imperial noble consort brought up the emperor.

Princess Pengyue slightly frowned. It seemed that her mood was worsening. But, soon after, Nie Sangyu and Errong led her out of the palace, this princess gradually started to smile again.

Inside the carriage, Princess Pengyue looked at the women across from her and said, "I came here to marry someone, but I want to choose my husband myself. I don't want someone to pick for me."

Ji Man's heart slightly jumped. Ah, was this a rebellious princess?

Ji Man asked, "Your Highness, do you already have someone that you like?"

The imperial court had probably previously sent over many portraits.

"No." Pengyue curled her lip. "I've only seen several portraits. A couple of them look very handsome, but I want to see them with my own eyes. Imperial father is insisting that I marry someone from Great Song and I already agreed. As for who I marry, I should be able to choose the person that I want."

Compared to other girls, her sense of independence was very strong and made her quite unique. But, this type of personality wasn't suitable to living a happy life in this ancient time period.

Ji Man smiled. She opened up a map of the capital that she had prepared in advanced, pointed at Luoyan Pagoda, said, "There's a lot of people here that like poetry. They also have very delicious snacks here. Your Highness, if you don't mind, let's go there to play first."

Pengyue's eyes brightened. She nodded. But then, lowering her head and looking at her attire, she opened up the curtain and shouted, "Stop!"

The carriage stopped at the side of the street. Ji Man stretched her head out look. They had stopped right outside of a clothing store.

This made sense. If the three of them were going to play, they really should change their attire first.

"Come on, come on." Pengyue excited jumped down from the carriage. The attendants assigned to Pengyue were skilled at martial arts and doubled as her bodyguards had been following behind them. Seeing the princess exiting the carriage, they protectively swarmed around her.
