However, he didn't pause for a moment, his footsteps were extremely fast, and by the time she chased after him, he was nowhere to be seen.

Yu Yu did hear Jun Qingcheng's words. He had heard of Jun Qingcheng before, but his master had absolutely no connection with the Yan Prince's Mansion, so it wasn't worth wasting his time here.

After all, his master had instructed him to find some delicious food and fun things in the capital to bring back to Miss Su when he arrived.

Now that the Golden Silkworm Armor is complete, he naturally needs to hurry up and buy some things to return to Shanghe Village. Although the capital is bustling, it is far less appealing than Shanghe Village. If he doesn't go back soon, Yu Feng will steal all the favor from his master and Miss Su.

By then, it won't be his turn to take care of the young master.

As for the minor incident at Tianyi Workshop, he quickly put it out of his mind.

"Princess, this man has absolutely no manners." Cai Die stomped her feet in anger as she looked at the empty hall.

"It's one thing that he didn't bow to the princess, but he left before you could even finish speaking. He clearly doesn't respect the Prince of Yan's residence..."

At this moment, Jun Qingcheng had no intention of worrying about etiquette. Instead, she hurriedly returned to the embroidery room and looked at the embroiderer, "The young man just now was from Prince Gong's mansion, wasn't he?"

If you listen carefully, you can hear a slight tremor in her voice.

The embroiderer paused for a moment, then lowered her head slightly. "Princess, I am truly sorry. You are well aware of the rules of Tianyi Workshop. Our guests' information must be kept confidential, and I cannot break this rule."

"Outrageous!" Cai Die was already dissatisfied with Yu Yu's indifferent attitude, and seeing the embroiderer's behavior only fueled her anger.

"Our Prince Yan's Mansion and Prince Zhong's Mansion have always been on good terms. The old Prince Gong even treats our Princess like his own granddaughter. The Princess is only confirming whether that person is a servant of Prince Gong's Mansion, and you are actually covering for him..."

The embroiderer shrank back as she was scolded, bowing respectfully without responding.

"Cai Die, watch your words." Jun Qingcheng scolded softly, pulled the embroiderer aside, and said gently, "I have spoiled this maid of mine, but she is not a bad person. I apologize to you on her behalf."

"Your Highness is too kind. I dare not accept such praise." The embroiderer quickly waved her hand, knowing the other party's intentions. She pursed her lips with some difficulty and said, "However, this is the rule of Tianyi Workshop. It cannot be broken by me."

Jun Qingcheng leaned closer, winking playfully, "I know, I won't make things difficult for you. The owner of Tianyi Workshop requires confidentiality, but as long as the words don't come from your mouth, it's fine, isn't it?"

The embroiderer was stunned, not understanding what she meant for a moment.

Then she heard the girl's soft voice in her ear, "I'll say that the young man just now was from Prince Gong's mansion. If so, you don't need to answer."

The embroiderer's eyelids twitched. The Prince of Yan was the current emperor's younger brother, born of the same mother. The old Prince Gong was a veteran who had followed the late emperor in conquering the country. They were not blood brothers, but they were closer than blood brothers.

Although Tianyi Workshop has the support of the Li and Qin families, they cannot afford to offend either of them.

At this moment, she dared not say anything more than remain silent.

Jun Qingcheng had been watching the other woman's expression closely, and naturally noticed her subtle movements. She smiled and said, "I understand."

The embroiderer assumed that Princess Mingzhu had taken a liking to the Golden Silkworm Armor and wanted to go to Prince Gong's Mansion to try to buy it back, so she advised, "If Princess Mingzhu likes the Golden Silkworm Armor, I can make another one for you and send it to Prince Yan's Mansion. However, the snake scales in this armor need to be provided by the princess."

No matter how expensive the golden silkworm silk is, it cannot compare to the snake scales sent by the Yu family. However, the Tianyi Workshop has never seen such snake scales before.

Upon hearing this, Jun Qingcheng's smile faltered for a moment.

Pink Butterfly straightened her back and snorted, "This so-called Golden Silkworm Armor is actually made of sticky snake scales. Our princess doesn't care for it at all! It's disgusting to wear."

Although the princess was pampered by the prince and princess since childhood, the princess disliked extravagance and gave her children a fixed allowance every month. The most expensive clothes in the princess's wardrobe were no more than a thousand taels of silver.

If Tianyi Workshop really delivers the 20,000 taels of gold silkworm soft armor to the Prince's mansion, the Princess Consort will probably chase them away.

In the end, it will be her princess who loses face.

Jun Qingcheng originally wanted to see what new products Tianyifang had today, but after being disturbed like this, she didn't linger and went straight back to the Prince of Yan's residence.

Cai Die had her maid serve some snacks, and seeing that her mistress was still absent-minded, she finally couldn't help but ask, "Princess, are you still worried about the soft armor?"

Prince Gong has always treated the princess like his own granddaughter. If the princess truly likes this golden silkworm armor, she should go to Prince Gong; he would surely be willing to part with it and give it to her.

Jun Qingcheng glanced at her, and instead of answering, asked, "Don't you find it strange?"

Grandpa Yu had three sons and one daughter. Aunt Heng passed away eighteen years ago, and all three of Yu's uncles and aunts had sons in recent years.

But today, the golden silkworm soft armor I saw at Tianyifang was clearly a woman's clothing.

When did Prince Gong's Mansion acquire a daughter?

Cai Die paused, then asked uncertainly, "What does the princess mean...?"

Jun Qingcheng's gaze deepened. "A soft armor worth 20,000 taels is no ordinary item. The fact that the Yu family entrusted it to him shows that this young man must be a favorite of their master."

But I go to Prince Gong's Mansion every month to play chess with Master Yu. This young man at Tianyi Workshop today, however, is someone I've never seen before in front of any of the masters of the Yu family.

As she said this, she stood up with a flick of her sleeve and a smile on her lips. "Immediately send someone to Tianxianglou to buy some soft pastries. I'm going to Prince Gong's Mansion later."

Also, send two more skilled men to follow that boy. Remember, they need to be alert and not lose him.

Cai Die was a little confused when she looked up and met the bright light in the girl's eyes. Her pretty little face was filled with joy.

Suddenly, a thought struck her: "Does the princess mean that this young man is related to the eldest son of the Xiao family?"

Her princess took everything in stride, except when she mentioned the eldest son of the Xiao family, her eyes would light up.

"I don't know." Jun Qingcheng shook her head gently and sighed. "But even if there's only the slightest possibility, I must go find Brother Zichen."

Seeing her sudden sadness, Cai Die couldn't help but feel heartbroken. "But, all these years when the princess went to Prince Gong's mansion, they never once mentioned that the eldest son of the Xiao family was still alive."

Everyone knows that when Princess Zhan gave birth to the eldest son of the Xiao family, both she and her unborn child died. But only her princess has believed for ten years that the eldest son of the Xiao family is still alive.

Because of this, it has been delayed until now.
