Zhuque Street is the most prosperous area in the capital, with all kinds of shops lined up and pedestrians coming and going. But for Yinzhen, who has lived in the palace since childhood, such prosperity is nothing new. Now, he is more attracted by the fireworks in the streets and alleys, and the hawking sounds along the street seem to tell the prosperity and bustle of the world.

"Mother, I want to eat that osmanthus cake!" Honghui took Yinzhen's hand and pointed to a famous dim sum shop on the street - Xianghezhai.

Yiya smiled and nodded. They came to Xianghezhai. Before Yiya took a step, Yinzhen took Honghui in first. They stopped in front of the counter and carefully selected the snacks they liked.

As Yi Ya stepped into the store, she heard a sharp and delicate voice: "How well-educated is this child! Why is he running around so recklessly? This is my new table!" She frowned slightly and had a bad premonition in her heart.

She turned around and asked the maid who was following behind her: "What's going on?"

Before the maid could speak, the woman next to her sarcastically said, "Oh, so there are adults to discipline him! I thought he was just a wild child from somewhere!"

Yi Ya looked up and saw a jeweled woman standing not far away with a mean look on her face. Although she was unhappy, she didn't want to cause an argument, so she smiled slightly, walked up to the woman, and said softly, "I'm really sorry, the children are young and inevitably a little naughty. If there is any offense, please forgive me."

The woman seemed a little surprised when she heard Yi Ya's words, but soon returned to her harsh expression: "Forgive me? I spent a lot of money to make this bracelet, how can I forgive you so easily?"

Yi Ya frowned slightly. She had heard in her previous life that Li Si'er was Long Keduo's concubine and a famous shrew who liked to make a fuss. However, she did not want to cause unnecessary disputes. So she stepped forward and said gently: "Madam, if my children really broke your jade bracelet, I am willing to compensate you."

Li Si'er curled his lips and said dissatisfiedly: "Compensation? Do you think you can get away with it with money? This jade bracelet is an heirloom from my family, it is priceless!"

Yi Ya frowned, she knew that Li Si'er was deliberately making things difficult for her. However, she still said patiently, "Then I will compensate you with some money, what do you think?"

Li Si'er was even more proud. She shook her head and said, "Money? I, Li Si'er, don't lack money! I want you to apologize to me in public, otherwise this matter will not end!"

Yinzhen, who was standing by, couldn't stand it any longer. He rushed forward, pointed at Li Si'er and said, "It was you who suddenly rushed down from the upstairs, and we couldn't dodge in time! Who do you think you are? You are so arrogant!"

Seeing this, Yi Ya quickly grabbed Yinzhen. She shook her head and signaled him to stop talking. She knew that it was impossible to reason with someone like Li Si'er. She saw that Li Si'er was deliberately looking for trouble to embarrass them.

Li Si'er was even more proud when she saw that Yinzhen dared to refute her. She sneered and said, "What do you know, little kid? Why do you interrupt when adults are talking? You must apologize to me today!"

Yi Ya took a deep breath, she knew it was meaningless to continue like this. So, she said to Li Si'er again: "Madam, we can only compensate you for the money of this bracelet, sorry we can't do anything else. I hope this matter can be resolved now."

Yi Ya was somewhat helpless, as she knew that Li Si'er was deliberately making things difficult for her. But she still maintained a humble attitude and said, "I'm really sorry. If my behavior makes you unhappy, I am willing to apologize to you in public."

However, Li Si'er was not satisfied. She continued to insist, "Apologize? Do you think an apology will solve the problem? I want you to compensate me for this jade bracelet and apologize to me publicly in the market!"

At this time, Yinzhen couldn't stand it anymore. He stepped forward and said to Li Si'er, "It was you who suddenly rushed down from the upstairs and bumped into Yiya. Others couldn't dodge in time! How can you confuse right and wrong and be so unreasonable?"

Li Si'er was choked by Yinzhen's words, but she quickly regained her arrogance and said, "Who are you? You have no right to speak here! Anyway, I want them to compensate me for the jade bracelet and apologize!"

Yinzhen was so angry when he saw this. But he knew that it was useless to reason with someone like Li Si'er. He turned to look at Yi Ya and saw that she was using her eyes to signal him not to be impulsive. Yinzhen took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart.

Yi Ya was relieved to see Yinzhen calm down. She knew that it was meaningless to continue arguing with someone like Li Si'er. So, she said to Li Si'er again: "Madam, I am really sorry for the inconvenience I have caused you. I am willing to compensate you for the jade bracelet and apologize to you publicly in the market. I hope you can accept my sincerity."

However, Li Si'er didn't appreciate it at all. She smiled smugly and said, "Compensation? Apology? Do you think that's enough? I want you to know that I, Li Si'er, am not someone you can mess with!"

Seeing that Li Si'er was so stubborn, Yi Ya felt helpless.

At this moment, a man suddenly broke into the bustling crowd. He was dressed in brocade and looked very imposing, but at this moment, his forehead was covered with sweat, obviously because of the crowded crowd and his inner anxiety. He searched around in the crowd, and when he saw Li Si'er, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He turned and shouted at Yi Ya and the others, "How dare you! Who are you to bully my wife, Longkodo!"

Yi Ya was so angry that she laughed at Longkodo's words. Although she knew that Longkodo favored Li Si'er, she didn't expect that he would defend her so desperately. She couldn't help but feel disappointed with Longkodo.

Yinzhen was also there. He was the fourteenth prince of the royal family and didn't care much about the family affairs of the ministers in the court. But at this moment, he was also angered by Longkodo's attitude.

He said coldly: "Lord Longkodo is so arrogant. He seems to have lost his mind when he saw his concubine like this! Madam Hesheli has been taking care of the inner chamber for many years and even gave birth to a son for you, but she is not worthy of being called your wife! It's ridiculous that you give such a reputation to a lowly concubine outside!"

Longkodo was shocked when he found that the fourteenth prince was also there. He knew that his reputation of favoring his concubine over his wife had spread throughout the court and the country. If Yinzhen caught hold of this, it would be a fatal blow to his career.

He quickly apologized with a smile, "Fourteenth Prince, you are joking. This Li Si'er is not my wife, but just a concubine in my family. I have no intention of favoring a concubine over my wife. Please understand, Fourteenth Prince."

Seeing Longkodo's quibbling, Yiya felt even more disdainful. She didn't want to get entangled with such a person any longer, so she said to Yinzhen: "Fourteenth Prince, let's go. The things here have nothing to do with us, there is no need to waste time."

Yinzhen nodded and turned to leave. Yiya and Honghui followed closely behind him, and the three of them quickly disappeared into the crowd.
