Princess Xinyang suddenly felt embarrassed.
She had never expected to encounter Xiao Ji in such a situation. What had she just said? Had this fellow overheard anything?
Calm as a still water, Princess Xinyang’s thoughts were suddenly disordered, leaving her frozen in place like a bewildered peacock.
Yujin had served her princess for many years, but this was the first time she’d seen her so stupefied. Let alone the princess; even she was almost shocked dumb, wasn’t she?
Shouldn’t the lord be in the Military Camp?
Why appear at the Post station in Li County?
Yujin glanced at a certain willful Little Princess Dongyi, and felt a sudden thump in her heart.
If the lord had come to see this little princess, then today the couple would thoroughly break apart!
The Little Princess Dongyi also followed Princess Xinyang’s gaze to notice the newcomer. She instantly gained confidence, stood up from the ground, brushed off the snow on her clothes, and rushed over to Xiao Ji like a nimble swallow.
Princess Xinyang abruptly returned to her senses, frowned as she watched her coming to Xiao Ji’s side, intimately entwining his arm, and even giving herself a cold snort!
Provoked, Princess Xinyang was almost about to explode!
Reason told her that as a princess, she had her own nobility and grace, and she scorned competing over jealousy...
Yet this scene was truly infuriating.
She was not competing out of jealousy; rather, her reassurance as a princess was being challenged!
Yes, exactly like that!
A minor barbarian clan’s daughter dared to act recklessly on the land of Zhan Country; it is intolerable!
Yujin, seeing this scene, rapidly widened her eyes.
Lord, do you want to die?
You actually let a woman entwine your arm in front of the true princess?
Little Princess Dongyi held onto Xiao Ji’s arm without letting go and pointed at Princess Xinyang, saying arrogantly, "You came just in time, she bullied me!"
Xiao Ji had already sorted out his shock, his handsome face restored to a look of calm and composure.
He spoke nonchalantly, "Hmm, I, the lord, saw it."
Little Princess Dongyi mischievously made a face at Princess Xinyang, then continued to tattle to Xiao Ji: "Moreover, she dared to falsely claim she’s the Capital City’s princess! That she’s your wife! How ridiculous is that?"
As she spoke, she withdrew the hand entwining Xiao Ji’s arm and placed her hands on her hips, speaking to Princess Xinyang: "The real one is here now, let’s see how you continue to lie!"
Princess Xinyang no longer wanted to see these two people. She coldly turned her face away.
Xiao Ji gave her a glance, seemingly with an amused smile, his gaze attempting to penetrate the hazy veil and fall upon her face, yet he spoke to Little Princess Dongyi: "She hasn’t lied, she is indeed... my wife."
The final four words made Princess Xinyang clench her delicate hands, and the embarrassment repressed by anger once again surfaced in her heart.
This fellow... how much had he overheard?
She clearly hadn’t meant it that way!

"She... she... she really is... but..." Little Princess Dongyi looked at Princess Xinyang in disbelief, then at Xiao Ji, "Isn’t she the Capital City’s princess? How did she end up in the East?"
See, there wasn’t a single person who would believe there’s any semblance of matrimonial affection between Princess Xinyang and Xiao Ji.
Even though she had traveled a thousand miles seeking her husband, in the eyes of others it was due to ulterior motives.
Little Princess Dongyi tugged at Xiao Ji’s sleeve, asking quietly, "Did the emperor of Zhan Country... send her to monitor you?"
Princess Xinyang clenched her fist.
Xiao Ji chuckled: "You first board the carriage."
Little Princess Dongyi glanced at Princess Xinyang, snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Xiao Ji suddenly reminded her with a hint of meaning: "One shouldn’t be too arrogant, youth means nothing."
Little Princess Dongyi furrowed her brows, clearly puzzled over why Xiao Ji spoke like that woman!
Princess Xinyang felt even more embarrassed, wishing she had never said those words!
"Yujin, we’re leaving!" She said coldly, not looking at Xiao Ji, and walked past him.
No one knew that at the moment of passing by, her heart suddenly tightened, an odd feeling.
Probably afraid he would grab her and say something to embarrass her.
Princess Xinyang squeezed the handkerchief, left the Post station without looking back.
Xiao Ji also came out, the two stood at the entrance of the Post station, separated by a distance of one entire carriage.
Princess Xinyang gazed straight ahead.
Xiao Ji hid his hands in a fox fur hand warmer, standing tall and straight, like pine and bamboo.
