Chapter 1395: Disturbance (3)
Wh-Who was that?
She automatically looked down at her dusty clothes, and then she observed that fair and tender little lady sitting at the front of the line again.
She simply couldn’t believe her eyes!
The little lady was dressed in a pastel blouse, layered with a sheer, light blue-green jacket on the outside, and wore a cyan skirt decorated with silver thread below. Her black hair was coiled up loosely, with two locks of hair cradling her cheeks.
She wore a l.u.s.trous bangle decorated with green bamboo on her fair left hand and a pair of gold-wire bracelets spotted with bright blue on her right hand.
Furthermore, a blue-green belt fastened an embroidered sachet following the same color scheme at her waist. She just sat there quietly next to a handsome man and stared at the moving crowd without averting her gaze.
“No, it isn’t her. Mom, you recognized the wrong person!” How could this kind of n.o.ble lady with a gentle, refined, and elegant bearing be that eldest daughter of that villager couple from the Qiaotou Village?
She dared not believe it even if you beat her to death!
“That’s not right, Mom recognizes her stoic face.” Madam née Li shouted excitedly, “If it really is the eldest daughter of the eldest branch, then isn’t it no problem at all. We’re all relatives, so isn’t it better if we ask her for more rice.”
Im-Impossible, impossible! Qiao Yingchun bit down hard on her lips and suddenly grabbed an auntie lined up behind her. “Auntie, look, who is that person sitting at the front?”
“Aiyo.” That auntie yelped in pain. However, she still looked forward and subsequently smiled. “You don’t recognize her! That is the crown prince consort, our crown prince consort of Northern Mo! The crown prince consort was the one who took complete charge of the rice distribution this time. Besides our crown prince and crown prince consort, who in this entire Northern Mo can be so generous as to hand out five liters per person!”
Qiao Yingchun’s complexion promptly turned extremely ugly. She didn’t believe it, didn’t believe that that little village girl had now become the crown prince consort?
Truly, what kind of joke was this?
She was only a village girl!
How could His Highness the Crown Prince marry a village girl? He must have been deceived!
No way, she had to go expose her ident.i.ty! Unmask her true colors!
“Yingchun, what are you doing, Yingchun? Yingchun!!” Madam née Li hastily grabbed her hand and warned, “It’ll be our turn soon, so don’t be so anxious. Did you forget that we were forced to the back of the line earlier? Don’t let our previous efforts go to waste.”
“Fifty-two years old. You are not the age range. Leave immediately.” When that ashen-faced woman got dragged out of the line, she made a fuss, wailing, “Sir Soldier, Sir Soldier, please have pity.”
“Rules are rules! Leave!” Hui Feng waved his arm, indicating for his men to throw that woman out of the crowd.
Madam née Li shuddered when she heard this, and she hastily tugged Qiao Yingchun’s hand, whispering, “Yingchun, what is that thing? How is it able to gauge someone’s age.”
“That is a gauging stone that specially gauges a person’s talents and age. Normally, it’s something that mystic cultivators use to gauge their levels.” Qiao Cong’s complexion also became extremely ugly. “Mom, will we have lined up so long for nothing! Our ages aren’t within the range.”
Madam née Li promptly stiffened her neck and shouted unreasonably, “I don’t care. Anyways, I’ve been lining up for so long. If they don’t give me grain, I won’t let her off! Besides, we’re all relatives, so does she need to be so demanding of us!”
Soon, it was Madam née Li’s turn.
