Xiaoyue Kingdom, Princess Yuening's residence.
On Princess Yuening's desk were two portraits, one of a man and one of a woman. The man had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, with a majestic and elegant appearance, while the woman was refined and graceful.
The two portraits, one of a man and one of a woman, look like a perfect couple, a match made in heaven.
Below the man's portrait was written: Jiang Qi'an, 23 years old, from the Great Chu, whose family has been in business for generations.
Below the woman's portrait was written: Zhao Ruojin, seventeen years old, wife of Jiang Qi'an.
These were the aliases Xiao Yanchu and Su Ruojin used when they came to Xiaoyue Kingdom.
Merchants from the Great Chu often came to Xiaoyue Kingdom to do business, so Princess Yuening had no doubts about Jiang Qi'an's identity.
So they were just lowly merchants and commoners.
Yuening picked up Xiao Yanchu's portrait and examined it carefully. The more she looked, the more she felt that his eyes had a captivating charm that made him unforgettable at first glance.
"Invite Young Master Jiang to our residence tomorrow."
"yes!"

The following day, Su Ruojin and Xiao Yanchu decided to visit the gambling dens and brothels in Longxiao City, hoping to find out something.
Before the two could even leave the room, someone knocked on the door; it was the waiter.
"Young Master Jiang, someone requests an audience."
The two exchanged a glance. They didn't know anyone in Xiaoyue's group, so who would come looking for them?
"Let them in."
Two guards entered and bowed to Xiao Yanchu, saying, "Young Master Jiang, our princess invites you to her residence for a chat."
Xiao Yanchu and Su Ruojin exchanged a glance.
The princess of Xiaoyue Kingdom?
How did she end up approaching Xiao Yanchu?
Has my identity been exposed?
That doesn't make sense either. If their identities were truly exposed, it should have been the Emperor of Xiaoyue Kingdom who came to invite them.
"May I ask which princess you are? What business do you have with me?" Xiao Yanchu asked.
"Princess Yuening, as for what it is, Young Master Jiang will naturally find out when he arrives at your residence."
Although the guards were not particularly polite, their tone was arrogant.
Before Xiao Yanchu could answer, the guard gestured for him to enter, "Young Master Jiang, please."
This situation left no room for refusal.
The two did not want to reveal their identities, but they could not refuse the request of a princess.
Let's see what the other party's intentions are first.
Xiao Yanchu and Su Ruojin were about to leave together when a guard stopped Su Ruojin, saying, "The princess only invited Young Master Jiang. Madam Jiang, please wait."
Xiao Yanchu was a little angry and was about to speak when Su Ruojin gently tugged at his clothes, "Go and take a look."
Finally, Xiao Yanchu went to the princess's residence with the guards, while Su Ruojin changed into men's clothing and went out alone to look for clues about Yuan Hong.
Princess Yuening's Residence.
Princess Yuening wore a yellow gauze dress today. The gauze fabric, as thin as a cicada's wing, made her fair skin appear and disappear. A moon-white ribbon was tied around her waist, slightly cinching the waist and further highlighting the princess's exquisite figure.
The coat was a brocade robe in the same color scheme, with peony patterns embroidered in gold thread on the cuffs. The wide cuffs would occasionally slip down, revealing her jade-like arms that were as delicate as lotus roots.
