The following afternoon, Yun Duoduo finally got out of bed, feeling groggy.

Ah Xiang came over with a basin of hot water to wipe Yun Duoduo's face.

"Princess, are you feeling any better?"

"This is a hangover soup prepared by Aunt Wu."

Yun Duoduo took the bowl of warm hangover soup that A Xiang handed her and slowly drank it down.

"Yesterday, when the prince brought the princess back, he terrified me!"

She rubbed her temples to try and clear her head.

Memories flooded back, and the scenes from last night played out in her mind one by one. Yun Duoduo buried her head in her arms, recalling how she had groped Jin Jin and hugged her without any restraint.

It is said that when you get drunk, you become dizzy and unconscious, making you vulnerable to being taken advantage of.

How could she still have the strength to tear at Jin Jinzhi's clothes and accurately locate his lips?!

"Princess?"

"ah?"

"Oh, um, it's nothing, I feel much better."

Yun Duoduo smiled at A Xiang, but suddenly, she thought of something very serious.

"Aunt Xiang, did I throw up yesterday?"

Yun Duoduo's memory only goes up to the two of them kissing passionately. She can't remember anything after that. She doesn't even want to think about what would have happened if she had vomited on Jinzhi's brother!

"No."

Ah Xiang shook her head. "When the princess came back yesterday, although she smelled of alcohol, she was clean."

"The Prince of Jibei is also clean, but..."

Yun Duoduo finally breathed a long sigh of relief, but her heart jumped into her throat again as she listened to A Xiang's punctuation.

"But what?!" Yun Duoduo looked at A Xiang nervously.

"However, her clothes are a bit disheveled."

"Oh, oh, that's good, at least you didn't throw up."

Yun Duoduo nodded, got out of bed, and prepared to go out and stretch her muscles.

She's been eating too much lately and needs to exercise, otherwise she won't be able to fit into her wedding dress.

...

The weather is gradually warming up. Although it is already the beginning of spring, there are still occasional cold winds blowing in the night in the capital.

Shangguan Wanwan walked on the streets of the capital with a maid.

"Everyone says that the capital of Nanyang is the most luxurious, and now that I see it, it is indeed more lively than Loulan."

Shangguan Wanwan found everything in Nanyang Capital City very novel. She would look at the jewelry stalls for a while and then eat two sesame cakes at the sesame cake stall.

Her maidservants couldn't help but admire her.

Suddenly, the sound of rapid hoofbeats rang out on Chang'an Street.

"The Dali Temple is handling a case; all bystanders, please make way!"

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way now!"

Jin Jinzhi and Military Advisor Cao had just returned from the military camp. As they walked towards the Prince's residence, discussing matters, Jin Jinzhi suddenly saw a galloping horse's hooves about to trample a person in front of him. He exclaimed, "Watch out!"

The maid beside Shangguan Wanwan was terrified, her face turning pale. "Princess!"

Before Shangguan Wanwan could dodge, she suddenly felt herself being lifted up. She turned her head in alarm and saw a resolute and cold face.

"Is the young lady alright?"

Seeing that the horse had already galloped away, Jin Jinzhi put Shangguan Wanwan down.

He glanced at the person briefly, saw that they were not injured, and then turned to leave.

Shangguan Wanwan was stunned. Her maid, Dangui, quickly came to check if Shangguan Wanwan was injured after she came to her senses.

"Your Highness, are you injured?"

Military Advisor Cao ran over and asked anxiously.

"It's alright, let's go."

Jin Jinzhi shook her head.

"If it weren't for my quick reaction, if something had really happened on this street, Xue Deyi, the garrison commander of the capital, would definitely have been in deep trouble. Humph."

Although Jin Jinzhi was unhappy that Yun Duoduo got drunk at the Xue residence, the two had a good relationship and she would still help her when necessary.

Shangguan Wanwan stood firm and looked at the man. The man had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. He was wearing silver armor, a belt with animal patterns around his waist, a silver longsword at his waist, and black satin boots on his feet.

"Is this the one destined for me?"

"Thank God..."

"Why isn't someone as handsome as him on the list of handsome men in Nanyang or the list of wealthy merchants in Nanyang?"

While Shangguan Wanwan was still in a daze, Jin Jinzhi and Military Advisor Cao had already ridden away.

She regretted not having seized the opportunity to exchange names with her savior.

"Dang Gui, did you see that person clearly just now?"

When Shangguan Wanwan came to her senses, she realized that she had forgotten to thank him and was just standing there dumbfounded.

Shangguan Wanwan's maid, Dangui, shook her head. "Princess, just now, I heard that person address him as 'Your Highness'."

"Your Highness?"

As Shangguan Wanwan walked, she pondered, "In the capital, there are Prince Ning, Prince Rui, and also Prince Jibei."

"There is only one royal residence in this area: the Jibei Royal Residence."

"Does the princess mean that the person who just saved her was the Prince of Jibei?" Dangui asked.

"It's most likely him. It seems he's the one destined for me!"

"But what if it's the Prince of Jibei..."

Dangui looked troubled and hesitated as she looked at Shangguan Wanwan. She tugged at the princess's sleeve and advised, "Princess, the Prince of Jibei is already engaged to the Ninth Princess of Nanyang. Princess, why don't you choose someone else?"

"So what if we're engaged? We're not married yet."

"Besides, as long as I can stay in Nanyang, it doesn't matter if I'm a concubine."

Shangguan Wanwan said nonchalantly that her mother was not the legal wife either, but now she was living a much more comfortable life than the legal wife.

It is clear that as long as a woman has her husband's love, whether she is the principal wife or not is not so important.

No matter what, she was determined to stay in Nanyang.

Seeing Shangguan Wanwan's firm stance, Danggui knew better than to say anything more.

"Dang Gui, do you think I'm pretty?"

Dangui looked at her face and nodded: "Princess, you are very beautiful."

Shangguan Wanwan has striking features, a high nose bridge, and an exotic look; she has a very alluring appearance.

"That's fine then, Prince Jibei, this princess is determined to have you!"

As she spoke, Shangguan Wanwan pulled Danggui into a clothing workshop, where she wanted to have a new outfit made.

...

Upon arriving at the military camp, Military Advisor Cao noticed that Jin Jinzhi's hand was covered in bright red blood. "Your Highness, Your Highness's hand is bleeding!"

He quickly tore off a strip of cloth from his clothes, intending to bandage Jin Jinzhi's hand.

"It's alright, perhaps you accidentally bumped into something while rescuing the person."

"Oh dear, Your Highness, Your Highness's hand needs to be treated."

Cao Canjun frowned as he looked at Jin Jinzhi's hand. He wondered why Jin Jinzhi didn't feel any pain.

"Your Highness, I will go and fetch the army doctor to examine you."

Jin Jinzhi glanced at his hand, not expecting it to be injured like this, and nodded.

A moment later, a thin man dressed in brown cloth, carrying a medicine chest, walked in with his head down.
