Xiao Yunshuo was quite surprised.
Logically, given the tense relationship between Shuofeng and Daqian, which has shattered the fragile peace maintained for nearly a decade this year, with troops stationed on the border, it's understandable that the Fourth Princess would be indifferent and the Fifth Prince would be perfunctory. Meng Jian's previous attitude also confirmed this.
But the Sixth Princess... is a bit too enthusiastic.
Why is that?
Meng Jian, however, felt no surprise whatsoever.
The initial flutter of excitement had vanished into dust, and he clenched his teeth in secret.
"Your Highnesses!" Meng Jian clasped his hands in a salute, his voice low and deep.
"Oh dear, Vice Commander Meng is here too."
Qin Zhaoyue waved casually as if she had just seen him, then turned to Xiao Yunshuo with great interest.
Meng Jian: !!!
Xiao Yunshuo recalled the description of this "eccentric" sixth princess in the intelligence report and thought to himself that she was indeed quite unique.

Eh...
Qin Zhaoyue's gaze swept over Xiao Yunshuo's back, and she only saw a maid. "Just the two of you?"
"Yes, too many people might cause trouble for Commander Meng."
"Oh, what's there to be afraid of?" Qin Zhaoyue waved her hand dismissively.
"It's a rare treat to come all the way to the capital, so I have to see everything I want to see and taste everything I want to taste. It'll be worth the trip! The more people, the more lively it is!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yunshuo glanced at her thoughtfully.
