Su Lixia glanced at Yi Zexuan's figure, grinned, and muttered to herself, "Look how smug you are."

"How come the male lead's words carry so much weight?" Su Lixia thought with disdain.

"The room is a bit shabby, but let's make do and stay together for one night," Su Lixia said, looking around at the sparsely furnished room.

Xiaolian nodded and said, "After dinner, I'll just spread out my mattress here and get a good night's sleep."

Su Lixia sat down on the couch and said, "Why sleep on the floor? This bed is fine, it's very soft and comfortable, and it's big enough for both of us to sleep on."

Upon hearing this, Xiaolian was somewhat taken aback and stammered in fright, "Does the princess mean... does she mean that Xiaolian can sleep with the princess?"

Su Lixia raised an eyebrow and hummed in agreement, "Is there something wrong with it?"

Xiaolian shook her head and said, "No, no, there's nothing wrong."

Su Lixia flopped onto the couch, staring at the ceiling, patting her stomach with one hand and saying, "Traveling in a carriage is exhausting. Now I just need to eat, ahhh, then I can sleep." Ahhh was Su Lixia yawning.

Xiao Lian smiled at Su Lixia, who was so sleepy she was practically dazed, and said, "Princess, hang in there a little longer. I just got off the carriage and heard the prince's men say that as long as we hurry tomorrow, we'll arrive before it gets dark."

Su Lixia rubbed her eyes, stretched, and said, "That's pretty fast. I thought it would take two or three days. That's how it's always portrayed on TV, that it only takes three days at full speed."

Upon hearing this, Xiaolian scratched her head in confusion and asked, "The princess is talking about electricity? What?"

"Hmm? Did I say that? I meant that all the ministers said the same thing to Father Emperor before?"

"Oh, I see. Then Xiaolian must have misheard."

Su Lixia chuckled, trying to hide her embarrassment.

The two women chatted for a while before the food was served; it was personally delivered by the proprietress.

"Here, the food is ready. Ladies, please try it and see if it suits your taste."

Seeing this, Su Lixia got up and went over. Looking at the food on the table, she nodded in satisfaction and said, "It looks pretty good. Xiao Lian, come here quickly."

The two sat down opposite each other, and Su Lixia picked up her chopsticks and started eating. Then she looked up and saw that the proprietress was still inside.

"There's nothing else here, you can go back now."

The proprietress rubbed her hands together and said, "It's like this, as you can see, Miss. My business here isn't very big, and the people here are all honest folks who just want a peaceful life."

Su Lixia took a deep breath. Hearing her say that, she thought she was going to send everyone away, so she asked, "Then what do you mean? Are we making you feel uneasy?"

"No, no, it's just that your group is so large, and I don't know who you are, so I'm a little worried."

"I see." Su Lixia nodded and added, "Don't worry, we are just two wealthy families. I am about to be married and he is about to be married. We have just completed the ceremony here and are now going to their hometown to complete the ceremony, so there are a lot of people."

"I see." Actually, the proprietress was still somewhat skeptical.

"Then, is that the tallest young man your future husband, Miss?" the proprietress asked.

Upon hearing this, Su Lixia was puzzled. The tallest? She really hadn't paid attention to who was taller or shorter; they were all about the same height!

"Ah... anyway, it's the one that looks the fiercest. Okay, do you have any other questions?"

The proprietress waved her hand and said, "That's all, that's all. Then I wish the young master and young lady a long and happy marriage."

Su Lixia smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your kind words."
