It was really troublesome for a married woman to go out in this era. It was like being in prison in this huge house. I finally got an afternoon of free time, so I had to have some fun.

When I was ready and about to leave, the maid Dujuan came back with an angry look on her face and said that she didn't get the carriage.

"What's going on?" the housekeeper asked first.

"They said that apart from the ones used exclusively by the prince and the princess dowager, the rest were either loaned out or had been damaged and hadn't been repaired yet. Anyway, when I told them that the princess wanted a carriage, they said they didn't have one!"

I thought for a while and said, "Then let's walk. We don't have to take a car."

When Xi Que heard that I was going to walk out, she almost cried, "Princess, how can you be so wronged?"

I couldn't explain this little girl's thoughts to her, so I could only find her a job to do. Then I chose the maid Xueyan to accompany her, picked two sets of men's clothes, changed my clothes with her, and left the house through the side door.

Although Xueyan showed a surprised expression after knowing my arrangement, she quickly and calmly did as I said without asking any questions.

I know Xueyan knows some martial arts and is smart, so there will basically be no problem with her around.

After leaving the palace, we headed towards the downtown area.

As a modern person, visiting the ancient downtown, it is inevitable that I will feel new and fresh everywhere, just like a chin man entering the city. After walking for most of the day, the novelty wore off, and I felt a little tired. My feet were tired after walking for so long.

"Princess, our silk shop is in front. Do you want to go over and take a look?" Xueyan reminded.

The dowry that the Shen family prepared for their daughter included quite a few shops, and there were dedicated people to manage them. Account books would be sent for review every month, and all the money earned went into my private treasury.

Originally, I was planning to find an opportunity to escape from the palace, but the start-up capital must not be from the Shen family, I have to find a way to earn it myself. This way, I won't be afraid of being discovered by them in the future with my new identity.

So at this moment, I didn’t plan to go to my own shop, but was attracted by the dispute at another roadside stall.

There were already some people watching, so I joined in with my maid.

The vendor boss was very dissatisfied and scolded, "You are still young and you don't learn to dine for free? I was wondering why you ordered the most expensive wine to go with it, and even asked me to go to the next street to buy it for you. I guess you had it all planned out!"

The person being scolded was a teenager of about fourteen or fifteen years old, and the follower next to him was also young and smaller in stature.

The henchman hurriedly defended himself, "We already said that our wallets were stolen. Once we get back... we'll have someone send you money to make up for it."

"Uncle, I will never default on my debt, please rest assured." The young man said word by word. He was more steady than the follower, but his face looked a little unhappy at the moment.

"Then I asked you where your home is and your name, but you couldn't tell me. Isn't it obvious that you are bullying a small businessman like me?" The boss snorted coldly and didn't buy it.

The onlookers also made accusations and supported the boss.

"Yes, if you want someone to send money later, you should at least introduce yourself."

"I'm afraid you can't tell me. You want to shirk your responsibility."

Amidst the criticism and chatter from everyone, the handsome young man just clenched his fists silently and stopped the follower who was about to step forward to explain again.

"Hey, what's wrong? You look like you still want to hit someone?" The boss was unhappy when he saw that his follower was about to rush up, and he raised his voice.

"Report to the authorities! Is there still law under the emperor's feet?"

When they heard them say to call the police, the two young men showed some panic expressions.

"I paid for him how much money he owed you." I took a few steps forward, walked through the crowd and came to the front of the stall.

"Two bowls of soup noodles, a pound of venison, and a pot of Immortal Drunken Wine, a total of 2 taels and 6 cents." The boss looked at me suspiciously, "Do you know him?"

I signaled Xueyan to pay the bill, and instead of paying any more attention to the boss, I whispered to the young man, "Be careful when you go out next time, and don't hang your purse in such an obvious place. Remember, don't show off your wealth."

The young man looked at me with some gratitude and said, "Thank you very much. I don't know your name, but I will ask someone to come to your house to thank you another day."

"It's just a small matter, it's not that much money." I waved my hand and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute!" The other party followed closely.

"Hmm? Is there anything else you can advise me?" I tried hard to act like a handsome and elegant gentleman, and was determined to do good deeds without leaving a name.

The other party seemed to be sizing me up, and after thinking for a while, he spoke, "Could you please lend me some more silver for the return trip?"

Xueyan had already paid the bill, so I asked her to take another ingot of ten taels of silver and give it to the young man. He took it and asked, "If it is inconvenient for you to reveal your identity, please leave your address. I will definitely return the money double."

Seeing his serious expression, I left him the address of the silk shop and told him to return the money there when the time came.

After we left, Xueyan was still a little confused and asked in a low voice, "Why would the princess help someone she didn't even know? And she gave him so much money at once, will he really pay it back?"

"I guess he's probably in disguise like us, so he doesn't want anyone to know his identity. Don't think about it, just do a good deed today."

In fact, I have already guessed the identity of this young man, just from the fact that he only brings a servant with him when he goes out, and he drinks the most expensive wine when he eats at a roadside stall. He doesn't even know how much money he was charged by the boss. He is so ignorant of the ways of the world and yet he is dressed luxuriously. He is criticized in public, but his demeanor is neither humble nor arrogant. There are not many people who can match this character among the characters in this book.

He should be the ninth prince of the current dynasty, and will soon be made the crown prince, the future emperor.

The plot I watched did not write about the experience of the Ninth Prince leaving the palace incognito, but he was later made the Crown Prince, and the male protagonist Xu Changan was appointed as the Crown Prince's Tutor. When he was teaching the Crown Prince, the two of them chatted and the Crown Prince revealed that he longed to play outside the palace, and even begged Xu Changan to take him out of the palace to play again.

That's why I boldly guessed that the person in front of me was the Ninth Prince who sneaked out of the palace. If he hadn't run into me, he would have met Xu Chang'an and been escorted back to the palace. It seems that I accidentally stole the male protagonist's plot, but it shouldn't be a problem.

If I hadn't revealed his identity, he probably wouldn't have recognized me.

But it was that particularly expensive wine they just mentioned that piqued my interest.

"Princess, aren't we going to buy jewelry?" Xueyan couldn't help but ask in a low voice after she and I entered Zuixianlou.

"You've been walking for a long time, you must be hungry, let's have a meal here and try something new."

In my previous life, I loved traveling, seeing beautiful scenery, eating delicious food, and recording my life with vlogs. It was a rare opportunity for me to go out, so of course I had to visit the most famous restaurants in Beijing.

We ordered five or six dishes and a pot of Drunken Immortal Wine.

Xueyan insisted that she didn't drink and didn't touch a drop of alcohol. In the end, I drank half a pot of alcohol by myself and stopped only when I felt a little dizzy.

Before leaving, I bought an extra pot of wine and prepared to go home.
