If she didn't get a room, she would settle for the next best thing. As long as it was a private room, Su Qing said to the shopkeeper,
"Then book two rooms."
"I'm sorry, there's no private room. There's only a shared bed left."
The shopkeeper shook his head again. Today's business was excellent. Previously, a merchant group had come and booked two upper rooms and another two rooms. In addition to the scattered guests, they were full.
"Alright, then, let's leave it open!"
Su Qing was not pretentious as long as there was a room to stay in. The guards, Little Ding and Zhong Yong felt that it was not polite. They were servants, so how could they stay in the same room as the Empress?
As they were about to speak, Su Qing's gaze scared them back. Just as they were booking a room downstairs, a pair of eyes stared at them from upstairs.
