Chapter 170 : The Emperor’s Birthday Celebration (2)
Both Xie Jianyu and Mingyu quickly rushed over to Qingyun’s rescue.
"Sister Qing, what happened???" Mingyu exclaimed. She ran so fast that she almost spilled the content of her overflowing basket.
Qingyun was in the middle of squabbling with a young lady over a painted umbrella. Both ladies had their four hands all over the umbrella in a desperate attempt to claim the most area.

"It’s mine!" the young lady exclaimed. "Let go!!!"
"No, I saw it first!"
"Young ladies, please be careful!" the umbrella stall owner chimed in. "Otherwise, you are going to rip the umbrella apart!"
"I don’t care!" the young lady shouted. "I am the City Warden’s daughter! I am going to report the both of you to my uncle if I do not get this umbrella today!"
Qingyun glared at the young lady for a split second before she turned her head to the side and gave Xie Jianyu a beseeching look.
What was a City Warden compared to the Crown Prince? It was like comparing a stone to a mountain. Unfortunately, a City Warden’s daughter had a much higher status than a mere servant of Fuxi Palace! Besides, they were in the middle of disguising themselves. Surely Xie Jianyu would not reveal his identity just so that his servant could get a painted umbrella?
