"That's good, Princess Ye'er." Ouyang Yunyao then carefully looked at Xuan Ye's outfit today. She was wearing a bright red long pleated dress with narrow sleeves, and embroidered with red, blue, yellow, white, and black patterns, which was colorful.

Xuan Ye wore carved silver bracelets on both wrists, which sparkled with dazzling luster, and a silver pendant of the same pattern on her long neck, which complemented the bracelets. This outfit made the already lively girl look even more charming and beautiful.

"Ye'er, you look so beautiful today. Is this clothing the clothing of your country?"

"Yes, Princess Sister, does it look good?" Xuan Ye said as she turned around a few times in front of Ouyang Yunyao, dancing like a butterfly.

"nice!"

Then Ouyang Yunyao turned to Xia Fei and said, "Fei'er, go to the gate of the mansion and bring the princess's maids and guards to the mansion. Let them rest here for a while. I will take Princess Xuanye to the mansion for a tour."

"Yes, Princess." Xia Fei received the order and walked towards the door.

"Ye'er, let's go for a walk."

Prince Jing's Mansion is a large mansion with five courtyards. Everywhere you look in the mansion exudes elegance, with red doors, yellow tiles, carved beams and painted buildings.

There were rockeries, small bridges, flowing water, pavilions and towers in the courtyard. The mansion was surrounded by corridors, and Ouyang Yunyao led Xuan Ye along the corridors to the small lake between the front and back yards.

It is midsummer now, and the lotus flowers in the lake are gorgeous and in full bloom. The lotus leaves are like open green umbrellas standing above the blue waves. It is truly as if thousands of lotus flowers are floating on the lake and birds are playing in the water freely.

Ouyang Yunyao led Xuan Ye to the pavilion by the lake.

Xiao Cui and the maids arranged by the housekeeper, who were following behind, saw the princess enter the pavilion, and hurried forward to wipe the stone benches and stone table in the pavilion with handkerchiefs.

As soon as Ouyang Yunyao and Princess Nanjiang sat down in the pavilion, the housekeeper led some people to bring tea, cakes and other food. "Xiao Cui, go to the courtyard and get a few cups of milk tea for Princess Ye'er to try!"

"Okay, Princess."

After a while, Xiao Cui and Pang Ya brought a few cups of pearl milk tea with food boxes. "Princess, Princess, the milk tea is here. I also got some crushed ice."

"Ok."

Ouyang Yunyao took a cup of milk tea and added some crushed ice cubes to it. "Ye'er, try it. This is the milk tea I made."

Xuan Ye looked at the cup and wondered why there was ice in it. He wondered in his heart: Can I drink this?

But in order not to offend Ouyang Yunyao, he took a sip of the cup. Hey, it was icy and sweet, and it tasted really good! Xuan Ye then spoke out his doubts, "Sister Princess, what is this? Why is it so delicious!"

Ouyang Yunyao handed Xuan Ye another small spoon and said, "Ye'er, there are pearls underneath!"

"Pearls? Pearls are so hard, can we eat them?"

"Haha, why don't you try it!" Ouyang Yunyao winked at Xuan Ye, then picked up the spoon and scooped towards the bottom of the cup.

Xuan Ye was half-believing and half-doubting. He took the small spoon and followed Ouyang Yunyao's example to scoop out a few so-called "pearls" from the cup. They were crystal clear and pretty. Could they really be called pearls? Xuan Ye secretly sighed and put the "pearls" into his mouth without questioning it. "Wow, soft and chewy, a little bit bouncy, delicious!" After that, he took another sip of milk tea.

"Sister Princess, what is this drink?"

“It’s called bubble tea.”

"Sister Princess, is this something you came up with? You are so amazing."

……

The two of them were in the pavilion, enjoying the lotus and chatting, feeling so comfortable.

Ouyang Yunyao did not expect that this girl, who was one year younger than her, had a straightforward personality and was a bit like herself.

"What do you say about your relationship with Master Hong? Did your father agree?"

Xuan Ye blushed in embarrassment at Ouyang Yunyao's sudden question. "Sister Princess, my father and brother Haotian's father and mother have all agreed. They have also informed your Emperor Xi Chu that they will choose a good day to marry me this year."

"Wow! That's great. Congratulations, Ye'er."

As the two were chatting, Chu Chenjing walked towards the pavilion, followed by Hong Haotian.

When "Prince Jing" Xuan Ye saw Chu Chenjing, he quickly stood up and saluted.

"Princess" Hong Haotian also saluted Ouyang Yunyao.

The four of them exchanged a few words and then sat down.

"Ajing, why are you back so early?" Isn't he very busy?

"Haotian came to me and said that the King of Southern Xinjiang and the prince were going to come to the mansion, so I came back first."

Hong Haotian sighed in his heart: Prince Jing really loves his princess. He always refers to himself as "me" when talking to Princess Jing!

"Will the King of Nanjiang and the prince come later? Then we should go to the front hall." As soon as Ouyang Yunyao finished speaking, Chu Feng came and said, "Your Majesty, Princess, the King of Nanjiang wants to see you and is now in the hall."

"Okay, then you two please move over."

When they arrived at the front hall, they saw that King Xuan Xuanrui of Southern Xinjiang and Prince Xuan Wei had already been entertained there.

The King of Southern Xinjiang had met Ouyang Yunyao at the banquet, but they did not speak. Chu Chenjing and Ouyang Yunyao both greeted him.

The King of Southern Xinjiang looked to be in his forties, with a pair of piercing eyes and a thick beard on his chin. He was not tall, but had a sturdy build, and exuded the aura of a superior.

Ouyang Yunyao thought to herself: It seems that Princess Xuanye has a high status in Southern Xinjiang and must be loved by her father, otherwise the King of Southern Xinjiang would not have come here in person to thank them.

"The eldest prince of Southern Xinjiang, Xuan Wei, pays his respects to Prince Jing and Princess Jing. My father and I have come here specially to thank Prince Jing and Princess Jing for rescuing my sister." After Prince Xuan Wei finished speaking, he stood up and performed the great ceremony of their Southern Xinjiang country to Chu Chenjing and his wife.

"King Xuan, Prince, you are too polite. I just saved the princess accidentally. You are welcome. Please take a seat, Prince."

This eldest prince was Xuan Ye's elder brother. He was not very tall among adult men, with thick black hair pinned up with a silver hairpin, healthy wheat-colored skin, and deep, bright eyes. He looked 70% similar to Princess Xuan Ye.

Afterwards, the King of Southern Xinjiang also expressed his deep gratitude to Chu Chenjing and Ouyang Yunyao! Because this matter was not easy for outsiders to know, Nanjiang's thank-you gift was sent by Hong Haotian after some time.

During the conversation, the king was so moved that he almost cried, "If you hadn't saved my beloved daughter, I can't imagine the consequences..."

Ouyang Yunyao learned that the King of Nanjiang was very loyal and only had one woman, his queen. After the queen gave birth to four princes for him, she finally had a girl, Princess Xuanye, so the King of Nanjiang regarded her as the apple of his eye. This time, the King of Nanjiang insisted on going to the King of Jing and his wife in person to thank them for saving his daughter's life.
