Among these people there are rich kids and ordinary people. No matter whether they are rich or poor, everyone wants to dress beautifully.

The embroiderers and tailors worked quickly, making several times more clothes every day than usual.

My eyes are dry and sore, and my shoulders are very sore.

But when they saw the wages which were much higher than before, everyone felt really happy.

Nier is now busier than before.

In the newly granted princess's mansion, she had to make decisions personally on everything, from the selection of maids and servants to the daily purchasing procedures.

In addition to moving the mansion and managing the restaurant business, she was so busy that she wished there were twenty-four hours in a day.

What upset her even more was that those rich young men who heard the news tried various ways to run into her by chance, saying some ambiguous words and trying to establish a relationship with her.

After more than a month of such busyness, I finally got some exciting good news.

General Li will return victorious soon.

When the news came, Nier was checking the accounts. She paused with her pen, a sense of joy welled up in her heart, and her cheeks flushed quietly.

But along with the joy, worries also come.

Ever since she was conferred the title of princess, she has been the talk of the town, with countless eyes secretly watching her.

Being in this position, one's words and actions are restricted, and even marriage is not one's own decision. Ultimately, the marriage must be granted by the empress dowager or the emperor.

On this day, Her Royal Highness the Princess came to the restaurant in person with an unconcealable smile on her face.

She took Ni'er's hand and said cheerfully, "Sixth brother is coming back, are you happy?"

Without waiting for Ni'er's reply, she lowered her voice again, "However, there is one more thing you must know. Recently, many noble ladies have been asking to see the Queen Mother. Insinuations and overtones, they all want to ask for their sons to marry the newly promoted Princess An Ning."

Ni'er was startled and quickly asked tentatively, "Then... has the Empress Dowager chosen a candidate?"

Seeing her nervous expression, the princess couldn't bear to tease her any further and said softly, "Don't worry. I've already made a promise with my mother that your marriage will ultimately depend on your own will. If you don't agree, no one can force you."

"If you find someone you like, just tell me or my mother, and I will arrange a grand wedding for you."

Nier's heart finally relaxed a little: "That's good."

The princess knew that Nier was a person with her own ideas and would not let others manipulate such an important matter in her life.

She tilted her head, chuckled, and asked, "Having said so much, do you have a choice in mind?"

Ni'er didn't react for a moment: "Who is the candidate?"

"Of course he's your future husband~"

Ni'er blushed instantly and stammered, unable to speak.

The princess suppressed a smile and said deliberately, "If you don't have any candidates, I will ask my mother to keep an eye out for you. If there are any good young talents, you will be the first to choose."

Nier felt anxious.

What if the Empress Dowager thinks a certain young man is good, and the ladies of the court persuade her again and again, and really arrange a marriage for me? What should I do?

Her tone couldn't help but be filled with anxiety: "Just... I won't bother the Queen Mother for now."

The princess blinked, a sly look flashing in her eyes: "Oh? Seeing you like this... could it be that you already have someone in your heart?"

"Do I know him too? It's better to settle this kind of thing as soon as possible so that we don't have to worry about it day and night."

Nier just lowered her head, her cheeks flushed, and remained silent.

The princess already understood.

Since she knew Ni'er's feelings, she was determined to fulfill them.

"I understand. I will go back to the palace and report to my mother." After saying this, he stood up and left, and he was already at the door with his clothes fluttering.

Nier stood up hurriedly: "Hey! What do you understand?"

"I'll ask Mother to start preparing for your wedding with Sixth Brother!"

The princess's voice floated from a distance, and Ni'er couldn't stop it even if she wanted to.

"Hey~"

Nier looked in the direction the princess left and sighed helplessly.

Fortunately, it’s not yet opening hours.

However, the waiters and accountants hiding behind the pillars were winking at each other and trying to suppress their laughter, which showed that they had clearly heard the entire conversation.

"Boss, we didn't hear anything."

Several people said this, but they were running very fast. However, the smiles on their faces completely betrayed them.

Ni'er rubbed her slightly aching forehead, looked in the direction the princess left, and said softly, "I really can't do anything about you."

On the day when General Li returned triumphantly, Ni'er specially changed into a lake blue long dress and simply pinned a white jade hairpin in her hair.

Covered with a silver fox cloak, he looked elegant and noble.

She stood by the long street as usual, waiting for the man to appear.

But I couldn't help feeling uneasy, wondering if he could see me among the huge crowd.

Suddenly, there was a commotion ahead, and someone shouted, "General Li is coming!"

The crowd suddenly became excited and the girls rushed forward.

"Look at me! General Li, look at me!"

"I bought the most expensive rouge just for today!"

"General Li is so handsome~ah~"

Amidst the deafening cheers, Nier stood on tiptoe and looked at the figure riding a horse that was getting closer and closer.

The streets were already packed with people, and cheers were surging like waves.

Prince Li, sitting upright on his horse, glanced calmly at the crowd.

He knew she would come.

There was no need to look deliberately, some intuition led his gaze past the crowd and landed precisely on the lake blue figure.

The moment their eyes met, the noise immediately faded away.

Seeing Ni'er's bright smile, Prince Li's cold and hard features softened unconsciously, and the softest part of his heart was gently touched.

After meeting the emperor, I must go to see her as soon as possible and tell her everything I want to say but haven't said yet.

Nier had not originally expected him to see her.

There were so many girls dressed up in fancy clothes waving handkerchiefs and sachets in front of us that they almost flooded the road.

But his gaze still penetrated the crowd and locked onto her accurately.

The moment they looked at each other, she smiled faintly and he nodded slightly.

This subtle movement caused the girls around him to scream loudly.

The noise almost blew the roof off. Nie'er was dizzy from the noise, and the crowd pushed her so hard that she had difficulty breathing.

She quickly withdrew from the crowd and leaned against the blue brick wall at the entrance of the alley for a long time before her rapid breathing calmed down.

Back at the restaurant, she checked the account books as usual, distributed wages, and filled the water tank in the backyard with spiritual spring water.

But today I always feel uneasy, and that person's figure always inadvertently pops into my mind.

She shook her head hurriedly, trying to calm her restless heart.

At this time, in the Qinzheng Hall, Prince Li was reporting military intelligence.

The emperor laughed heartily after hearing this. "My dear minister, this victory will ensure peace on the border for years to come! Besides the usual rewards, is there anything else you would like?"

He paused meaningfully and said, "You are not young anymore. Why don't you take advantage of this period of rest and recuperation while I find you a good marriage partner?"

"I was just about to make a request to Your Majesty."

The emperor picked up the teacup and glanced at him through the mist. "Oh? Which lady can make our iron tree bloom?"
