"Miss Shi, come and sit in front." At this moment, a big girl next to Anran shouted from the carriage in front.
Shi Yao looked at the other party with a bit of embarrassment and said, "This is not good."
"It's not that particular. My wife was in a hurry when she came out in the morning, and she didn't think carefully. If I had known better, I would have prepared an extra carriage. Miss Shi, you'd better come and sit in front. There's room for one person here." The big girl said.
A look of enthusiasm.
Shi Yao was still a little hesitant.
"Miss Shi, there is no need to hesitate. We have to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be bad if we are late."
Shi Yao nodded with determination and got into the carriage where An Ran was.
"I'm so sorry, Miss Shi, I didn't think carefully enough." As soon as Shi Yao got in the car, An Ran apologized to Shi Yao kindly.
"Madam, you're welcome." Shi Yao said quickly.
"Miss Shi, there is no need to be formal. The princess lent you to me and you are my guests. I should arrange everything for you properly." An Ran looked apologetic.
"Madam, you are serious." Shi Yao's attitude was still very respectful.
"To be honest, I admire Miss Shi's talent very much. I wonder when did Miss Shi start learning musical instruments?" Anran naturally got to the topic.
"..." However, Shi Yao just smiled and did not answer.
"..." A trace of embarrassment flashed across Anran's face, and then she said, "I've always wanted to ask, are you prohibited from talking about certain things?"
"..." Shi Yao's answer was still a slight smile.
"It seems that I asked you a lot of questions a few days ago and I was rude in front of the princess." An Ran looked annoyed.
"Princess, you are serious." This time, Shi Yao spoke.
"It seems that I have to pay attention next time. Miss Shi, can you remind me that in the future, in front of the princess, there are certain things that I cannot ask about you?" An Ran looked sincere.
"..." Shi Yao blinked, and then said calmly, "The slaves are just kabuki. Madam likes it. She just appreciates our performance. There is no need to understand us."
"Oh..." An Ran looked at Shi Yao with a little disappointment. After a long time, she murmured as if talking to herself, "But if you like a person or thing too much, you will want to know more about it."
This time, Shi Yao still smiled slightly.
"It's still more than half an hour until we reach our destination, Miss Shi, we have to talk about something, right? My wife is also afraid of neglecting you." The old lady beside An Ran said with a smile.
"Ma'am, please do what you want. Don't worry about me." Shi Yao still looked unshakable.
"Okay, we won't embarrass Miss Shi anymore." An Ran smiled slightly.
As if to liven up the atmosphere, the two older girls, the old woman and the old woman, began to chat actively with An Ran, talking about everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation to the gossip of the capital.
Occasionally, the four of them would naturally ask Shi Yao: "I wonder what food Miss Shi likes? Can she be used to the food of our Luo country?"
"I wonder what color clothes Miss Shi likes? Next time if you have good materials, how about giving them to Miss Shi and the other sisters as a thank you gift?"
"Miss Shi must be very knowledgeable. I wonder where Miss Shi has been?"
"Can Miss Shi know how to ride a horse?"
…
In response to these conversations, Shi Yao's answers were either silent smiles or very short and ambiguous answers.
"fine."
"It will be all right."
For some reason, Shi Yao always felt like someone was staring at her in the dark along the way.
