Her smile is like a traditional Chinese ink painting slowly unfolding.

It wasn't particularly stunning at first glance.

But it's unforgettable at first glance, making you want to keep exploring it.

“Your Highness, I meant I would consider it.”

What are your thoughts?

"I believe that the gold hairpin was, after all, a gift from Her Highness the Princess to me as compensation."

There's no reason to return it.

If others knew, they might think that I, Xun, didn't take Her Highness the Princess seriously.

Xiao Hua, as if she already knew Xun Jing wouldn't return it, spoke in her childish voice...

“Host, Xiao Hua thinks he not only wants your gold hairpin, but also the purse containing your seeds.”

Listening to Xiao Hua's words, Su Yan's attention fell back on the purse in his hand.

"this"

As she spoke, she reached out to take the purse back.

Xun Jingzheng found it somewhat interesting while holding it in his hand. Should he return it?

Once something is in his hands, why would he return it?

He dodged to the side, and Su Yan leaned forward to take it.

The mountain road was rugged, and just then, the carriage wheels slid across a rock.

There was a violent jolt, thud.

Su Yan leaned forward and struck the side of the carriage with her hand.

She fell into Xun Jing's arms.

He looked up and just then, Xun Jing looked down.

Xun Jing's lips touched Su Yan's forehead.

The two looked at each other.

Xun Jing's smile froze due to this unexpected turn of events.

After a moment, Su Yan's attention fell on his hands.

Then go get your purse.

Then I saw a corner of a hairpin slip out of his sleeve because of the bumpy ride.

It just so happens to be the phoenix head of her golden hairpin.

One glance is enough to tell that it is a phoenix spreading its wings, created with the full strength of the nation.

She reached out and, ignoring the purse, pulled out the gold hairpin.

It was in my hand.

They were about to withdraw.

A hand enveloped my waist and pulled.

In addition, there was the inertia from the bumpy ride of the carriage.

Thud, and she nestled into his arms again.

At this moment, Xun Jing's complexion had returned to normal.

He looked down at Su Yan, seemingly lost in thought.

Then he opened his mouth

"Where is Your Highness going?"

"Go sit down over there."

"You took Xun's things and you're not going to offer any explanation?"

Su Yan clutched the hairpin in her hand.

She knew she was in the wrong.

After all, it's not good to have something you gave away taken back by Ming.

However, three days later, an envoy from Jianglan Kingdom will come here for a celebratory banquet.

Emperor Kim Yong-guk will also send someone.

This symbol of her identity is something she must bring with her when she appears.

Su Yan took off the gold hairpin from her hair and handed it over.

"This can be considered an exchange."

Xun Jing glanced at it but didn't take it.

He saw Su Yan sitting in his arms, right in front of him.

The visitor was very friendly.

Hmm, it feels pretty good.

Then, he exerted a little force, and the two became even more intimate.

Instead of discussing the gold hairpin, they talked about...

"Her words in the military camp just now were indeed very satisfying."

However, you are a princess who is about to be married to the Prince of Zhennan for a political marriage.

"In the future, I'm afraid he'll suffer a lot at the Prince of Zhennan's mansion."

Su Yan shook her head

"I will not marry him."

A flicker of emotion crossed Xun Jing's eyes.

"profound?"

He uttered a brief, questioning sound.

"General Ouyang is a peerless warrior with 100,000 soldiers under his command. He is the kind of man that other women would kill to marry."

Su Yan looked at him

"Didn't you say I would suffer a lot at his place?"

Why would I still want to get married?

Xun Jing was taken aback.

Then he nodded with a smile.

"That's true."
