Chapter 417
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingnian looked at Song Xuan.
"This is information gathered by our spies," Song Xuan said, taking an envelope from his pocket and handing it to Song Xi.
After receiving the letter, Song Xi smiled and said, "Thank you, Father Emperor, thank you, Mother Empress!"
She left quickly. Shen Qingnian watched the red figure gradually disappear into the distance, and murmured, "That Yu Jun's identity is no ordinary spy. I wonder how Xiao Xi will deal with him..."
Yu Jun is a prince from another country, and this is the first time Xiao Xi has encountered such a situation. She doesn't know if Xiao Xi will be able to handle it properly, after all, Yu Jun's appearance is very deceptive.
Song Xuan pulled Shen Qingnian into his arms and whispered, "The Princess has countless male favorites in her residence, so she won't be bewitched by that traitor. Let's wait and see."
He wasn't worried at all that the princess, though seemingly affectionate, was actually heartless.
-------------
At the entrance of the Princess's residence.
With the help of the guards, Song Xi stepped off the carriage. A row of handsome men stood at the door, including servants, doormen, stewards, and young masters.
As soon as Song Xi stepped off the carriage, the five young masters came to greet him.
"Is Your Highness tired? I specially brewed your favorite jasmine tea for you," one of the somewhat thin young men said as he approached Song Xi. His face was as handsome as a puppy's, but he was not aggressive.
"I have prepared poems and some delicious food. Princess, you may dine with me and discuss poetry together."
"Your Highness, I have recently acquired a jar of century-old Daughter's Red wine. I may accompany Your Highness to enjoy the wine until tomorrow!"
......
These young men were all talking at once, vying for Song Xi as if she were a highly sought-after prize.
She was indeed like that; unlike ordinary noblewomen, she had her own opinions, and no one could control or manage her.
After adjusting the pearl hairpins in her hair, Song Xi smiled charmingly and said, "I have important business to attend to tonight."
As soon as she finished speaking, a carriage drove up and stopped at the entrance of the princess's residence. A noblewoman stepped down. The woman had delicate features with fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, but these did not detract from her beauty. She possessed a sharp temperament and an aura that was hard to ignore.
This woman was Xiaoju, or rather, Shen Cunju. Not long after Shen Cunju started her business, Shen Qingnian personally gave her the name.
Shen Cunju is still unmarried. Originally, she was worried that she would attract gossip if she worked hard outside as a woman. However, the Princess was very helpful. She not only helped ordinary women get rid of their shackles, but also promoted reforms. She benefited from this and is still unmarried.
When Song Xi saw that it was Shen Cunju, her eyes lit up and she said, "Sister Xiaoju, you've come at just the right time! Come with me to the mansion for some roast meat!"
Shen Cunju was led by Song Xi towards the princess's residence. As they passed a group of young masters, she couldn't help but glance at them a few more times.
She knew that the eldest princess was amorous, and these young men each had their own merits.
Song Xi noticed Shen Cunju's gaze, covered her mouth and smiled, her eyes sparkling as she softly said, "Sister Xiaoju doesn't want to get married, but finding a companion is fine too. With me backing you up, no one will say anything to you."
Shen Cunju is now a royal merchant. Even without Song Xi, she could easily raise one or two young masters in her harem if she wanted.
Shen Cunju had a fleeting thought, but then she remembered someone's face and shook her head to suppress it: "Your Highness need not worry about me. I am not interested in these things."
Upon seeing this, Song Xi immediately understood. She snorted, "Sister Xiaoju, women can also keep young masters. Are you perhaps afraid of that commander?"
All these years have passed and the two still haven't gotten married, so in her opinion, they just can't get married. Otherwise, they would have gotten married long ago. It's just that the commander is still unmarried, and she doesn't know what he's thinking. If it's really for Sister Xiaoju, then that's ridiculous.
It's ridiculous that we haven't caught up after all these years.
Upon hearing this, Shen Cunju blushed and said, "Princess, please don't worry about me. Let's go eat some roast meat."
As she spoke, she pulled Song Xi along quickly, then steered the conversation elsewhere.
The two ate their barbecue until late at night. Tonight, Song Xi specially invited two young masters to serve Shen Cunju. The young masters were handsome and very good at chatting. Shen Cunju's heart was pounding during the meal.
Shen Cunju left the princess's residence as dawn broke, being helped out by a young master.
The young master whispered in Shen Cunju's ear, "Manager Ju, why don't I go back with you..."
