The Chief Eunuch was quite troubled about Ye Shuangshuang wanting to change carriages and reduce the entourage: "Princess, the carriages in our mansion were specially bestowed by the Emperor, and they are all like this.
If you use an ordinary carriage, that's for servants and absolutely unfit for a Princess like you, who is revered. Those serving and guarding you on your journey are indispensable."
Ye Shuangshuang felt a bit helpless. She didn't mind riding in a servant's carriage, but if she actually did, she would certainly be criticized and belittled, and the Emperor and Empress who uplifted her would lose face.
Ye Shuangshuang had no choice but to ride the luxurious and ostentatious carriage. However, she was resolute in not taking so many people with her and left with just two palace maids, two eunuchs, and five guards.
