"Your Highness, I have already tried to persuade Wuxiha, but this girl is stubborn," Lanqin said, having already appeased Wuxiha, before turning to the Fourth Prince.

"This girl, it's all because of you and me spoiling her. How can a woman choose her own husband? It's all arranged by her parents and matchmakers!" Fourth Master sat on Lanqin's warm couch, grumbling angrily.

Lanqin frowned and said, "Does Your Highness intend to arrange a blind marriage for Wuxiha?"

"Wasn't it me who arranged the marriage for her? How can it be considered an arranged marriage?" Fourth Prince quickly explained when he saw Lanqin's displeasure.

“No matter how sharp Your Highness’s eyes are, they cannot replace Ushiha’s own. Although I do not wish for Ushiha to marry so far away, I hope even more that she can find someone she truly desires,” Lanqin said.

“But Suhar is a foreigner, and Dayuan is so far away!” Fourth Master looked at his daughter with such affection that Lanqin found it both funny and infuriating.

“This prince is the second prince of Dayuan, not the crown prince. Since he truly intends to build a bridge between Dayuan and Qing, why not build a mansion for him in the capital and let him live in Qing for a long time? That way, our Wuxiha can stay by our side,” Lanqin said.

The Fourth Master was speechless this time. How come he himself hadn't thought of such a perfect solution that would benefit both sides?

“If Your Highness is too proud to admit it, I will speak to him myself,” Lanqin said, pressing her advantage.

Fourth Master still felt uneasy, so he said, "Perhaps our Wuxiha doesn't really like him. Why don't we find a few more scions of noble families for her to see?"

Lanqin nodded helplessly, but she knew Ushiha well. Over the years, Ushiha hadn't taken a liking to any young master, but this Prince Suhar was indeed quite different.

Meanwhile, Ushiha was already getting restless. Although she had been temporarily appeased by what the Fourth Master and Lanqin had said, the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt.

“Princess, you can’t go out like this! The concubine just instructed us to take good care of you. If you go out like this, how will we explain to the concubine?” Qingcao and Qingsi said anxiously as they watched Wuxiha change into men’s clothing.

“Mother won’t be coming today. If you don’t tell her, she won’t know. Qingsi, put on my clothes and lie down in bed to sleep. If anyone comes, just say I’m not feeling well and I’m asleep.” Wuxiha put the man’s hat on his head, and he became a handsome young man.

"Princess, this servant dares not." Qing Si was so anxious she was almost crying. If people found out she was impersonating Wuxiha, she would definitely be dragged out and beaten.

“It’ll only be a few hours. I’ll go see him, say a few words, and then I’ll be back,” Ushiha said.

"Qingcao, hurry up and change your clothes!" Wuxiha said, frowning.

The two maids couldn't stop her, and Qingcao, in a moment of inspiration, said, "Princess, if you go out like this, who knows where you'll find him!"

“He already told me he’s staying at Tianyi Restaurant. You come with me to the stables now and call a carriage. Mother hasn’t returned the waist token she gave you last time!” Wuxiha said.

"Princess!" Qingcao really regretted it; she shouldn't have told Wuxiha about the waist tag.

"Don't say another word, quickly change your clothes!" Ushiha said.

After changing her clothes, Qingcao and Wuxiha secretly went to the stables through the passageway inside the mansion.

The servants in the stables, unaware of what was going on, naturally led the carriage out upon seeing Lanqin's waist tag.
