Shen Pingjin was still arguing with Yan Jue in the car. Seeing that Yan Jue was ignoring her, she put her arm around Yan Jue's waist again. "Husband, what did Pingjin do wrong to make you so angry?"

She thought the man would stiffen and be too shy to move, but to her surprise, he reached out and firmly grasped Chen Pingjin's waist, his gaze lingering and tender.

He said, "I was just joking, I didn't expect the princess to take it seriously."

Shen Pingjin was taken aback, and a smile that was almost gritted her teeth curled up at the corner of her mouth. "So that's how it is. If you didn't know, you would think that your husband has gone mad."

Yan Jue leaned back slightly, his expression serious. "Your Highness, rest assured, I am of sound mind. I will certainly not break my promise to return to my parents' home in a few days."

Unexpectedly, this two-faced regent would actually rebel... Shen Pingjin was even more excited now, but she dared not show it. "My husband will not break his promise, Pingjin is truly overjoyed. However, Pingjin has a question right now, may I ask my husband to answer it for me?"

Yan Jue was completely captivated by being called "husband" repeatedly, and said, "Your Highness, please ask."

"That's for buying gifts for the bride's return visit. Why go to a clothing store?"

Yan Jue: ...

Yan Jue stared at Shen Pingjin beside him, seemingly lost in thought. "Let's go to the tailor shop first and have a few sets of close-fitting clothes made for you. Otherwise, Lord Shen and Mo Yueyue might feel that I have mistreated you."

Shen Pingjin was stunned. She never expected that Yan Jue would have such a thought.

Her father and brother were the most influential people in the household. In her previous life, when she returned to her parents' home with Shen Ruixue, although her father's attitude towards Shen Ruixue was indifferent, he still complained to Yan Jue when he saw that Shen Ruixue was not wearing many presentable clothes.

At that time, she thought that the Regent liked too many people, and Shen Ruixue was just the least attractive among them, so she didn't pay much attention to her.

She was relieved that she hadn't let Shen Ruixue's scheme succeed. It wasn't until then that she realized Yan Jue wasn't ignorant; she just didn't want to give Shen Ruixue that face.

Thinking of this, Shen Pingjin nodded, "Yan Jue, thank you."

Yan Jue, however, did not take it to heart. What he was most worried about right now was Shen Pingjin's older brother.

He would never forget that day when Shen Ling stood in front of Shen Pingjin with a fierce look on his face, waving his fists and threatening him.

However, the thought that Shen Ling was still practicing at the martial arts arena in the suburbs and might not be able to return on the day of his homecoming made him feel relieved.

Then he only needs to make Lord Shen satisfied with him.

The two sat side by side inside the carriage, each lost in their own thoughts.

The carriage slowly bumped along, and after an unknown amount of time, Ye Ting's voice came from the front of the carriage, "Reporting to Your Majesty, Your Highness, we have arrived at the clothing shop."

This time, Shen Pingjin didn't ask Yan Jue for help. She lifted the curtain and stepped down from the carriage on her own.

Yan Jue, standing behind him, looked at his hand frozen in mid-air, raised his head, and met Ye Ting's wide-eyed gaze.

Yan Jue: ?

Yan Jue coughed, slowly withdrew his hand, and then got off the carriage.

Night Garden: ...

Haha, Master got a cold shoulder!

He must tell Nian'an and Nian Ning about this when he gets home tonight!

He couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly, completely unaware that Yan Jue, who had already walked to Chen Pingjin's side, had darkened his eyes as he looked around.

As soon as Shen Pingjin stepped off the carriage, she was shocked when she saw the shop in front of her.

The Dongyue Kingdom was adjacent to the Northern Yi and Southern Man kingdoms, and was surrounded by many Han Chinese regimes. Among them, the Northern Yi were good at business, the Southern Man were good at animal husbandry, and the Dongyue Kingdom was most famous for textiles and weapons manufacturing.

Okyo Tailor Shop, as the most famous clothing and textile store in Kyoto, is located on the most bustling side of Okyo Street in Kyoto. Whether it is 9 to 5 or midnight, the liveliness never diminishes.

At this moment, at the entrance of the shop, beautiful maids stood in rows, each with a dignified expression. A gilded plaque hung high above, and the sound of weaving echoed from inside the shop, along with the pleasant aroma of fabrics that stirred the soul.

Yan Jue raised an eyebrow at Shen Pingjin's expression. "Your Highness, have you never been to a clothing shop before?"

Shen Pingjin nodded, "I've never been here before. What I'm seeing today is all thanks to my husband."

Yan Jue was taken aback. For some reason, he felt as if he could detect a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

But the girl in front of him looked normal, and Yan Jue thought he was overthinking it. He gripped Shen Pingjin's wrist tightly and said, "Let's go, come in with me and take a look."

Despite its name, Yujing Clothing Shop only makes a handful of garments; most of them are made from precious and high-quality fabrics and cotton.

Although there were many customers walking around inside, the clothing shop owner, who was sitting in a chair, was well aware that these people were just there for fun.

At this moment, Yan Jue and Shen Pingjin lifted the curtain and walked in. The shopkeeper, who was drowsy, heard the noise and subconsciously raised his eyes to look. When he saw that Yan Jue and Shen Pingjin were dressed in luxurious clothes, he stood up from his chair with a thud.

The commotion didn't startle Shen Pingjin.

She carefully examined the woman's clothes and expression, and when she noticed that she was wearing the uniform of a tailor shop assistant and that the woman looked bewildered, she suddenly understood.

She couldn't help but speak softly, "Excuse me, are you the manager of Yujingfang? My husband and I would like to buy some clothes here."

Upon hearing this, Li Qin'er ignored Shen Pingjin and instead walked up to Yan Jue with a puzzled expression. "Young master, why do I feel like you look so much like someone?"

Yan Jue looked at Li Qin'er with a threatening gaze, "Shopkeeper, what do you mean by that?"

Li Qin'er ignored the gaze, rested her chin on her left hand, and said thoughtfully, "I think you look a bit like the regent who dumped Miss Wen a while ago."

Shen Pingjin, who was listening to Li Qin'er's words from the side, frowned slightly.

The regent who cheated on Miss Wen?

Shen Pingjin's gaze was like a sharp sword, fixed on Yan Jue beside her, as if she wanted to see right through him.

As is widely known, the Dongyue Kingdom has only one regent.

And the regent was right beside him at that moment.

Yan Jue had no way to explain himself. He waved his hand to indicate his denial, "I don't know what you're saying, shopkeeper. Although I am indeed the Regent, I would never admit to having cheated on Miss Wen recently."

Li Qin'er was even more certain, "I remember, before you married Miss Shen, you brought Miss Wen to the clothing shop once..."

Li Qin'er looked at Shen Pingjin standing next to Yan Jue, her gaze filled with blatant scrutiny, "I've heard that Miss Shen is exceptionally beautiful, and seeing her today, it's certainly true. No wonder the Regent abandoned the delicate Miss Wen and obediently followed the Emperor's decree to marry Miss Shen."
