Not long after, they arrived at the bustling street.

Xiao Yuchen looked at the bustling crowd, frowned slightly, worried that Jiang Tangxi would be squeezed by others, so he quickly pulled Jiang Tangxi to the restaurant opposite the shadow theater.

He booked a private room on the restaurant terrace with ease.

Soon, the waiter brought up some snacks, dried fruits, etc.

They sat in a private room with an excellent location, allowing them to see the entire shadow play performance.

At the beginning, Tuoba Yanxi's attention was immediately attracted by the shadow play. She stared at the stage and stopped chattering with Jiang Tangxi.

However, Xiao Yuchen's eyes were always on Jiang Tangxi, observing her expression from time to time.

After a while, Jiang Tangxi felt a little bored. This shadow play was not as exciting as he had imagined.

She moved slightly, a hint of disappointment on her face.

Xiao Yuchen noticed her mood change instantly, and quickly approached her and asked, "Are you bored?" Jiang Tangxi didn't want to make him worry, so she smiled and said, "It's okay."

Xiao Yuchen didn't believe it. He frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly asked, "Is there shadow puppetry in your world, Jiang Tangxi?"

Jiang Tangxi perked up when she heard this. She shook her head and said, "No, in my original world, there were movies and TV series. The production process was much more complicated and exciting than this shadow play."

As she spoke, her eyes sparkled and she began to tell Xiao Yuchen incessantly how movies and TV series were filmed and produced.

Xiao Yuchen was fascinated by what he heard, staring at Jiang Tangxi without blinking.

After Jiang Tangxi finished speaking, she smiled and said to Xiao Yuchen, "If I have the chance, I will definitely take you to see it."

Xiao Yuchen felt warm in his heart, and he held Jiang Tangxi's hand tightly, saying firmly: "Okay, I look forward to that day."

The sound of gongs and drums of the shadow play was reaching halfway point, and Yinzhou and Yuzhu, who had been standing by, were becoming more and more uneasy.

Yin Zhou moved closer to Xiao Yuchen and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, I feel like the atmosphere here is weird. We'd better go back early."

Jiang Tangxi happened to hear this. She looked at Yin Zhou with a puzzled look on her face and asked anxiously, "Yin Zhou, what's wrong?"

Before Yin Zhou could answer, suddenly, there was a loud "crackling" noise coming from the private room next door. Several burly men with ferocious faces suddenly overturned the table to the ground, and the dishes were instantly shattered all over the floor.

The big men started yelling at the top of their lungs: "What kind of shitty shadow play is this? It's so ugly, and the plot is as bland as shit. And the tea in this shop is so unpalatable! Give me my money back!"

Several shop assistants ran over in a hurry and tried to calm the big men down, but as soon as they got close, they were pushed to the ground by the big men like chickens.

These burly men were obviously from the Western Regions. They were strong and muscular, with fat all over their bodies that kept shaking with their movements. They looked very much like the ferocious Zhang Fei.

They continued to quarrel in the store, and a big man picked up the teapot and smashed it against the wall. With a "bang", the teapot broke into pieces and tea splashed everywhere.

Another big man kicked the chair next to him away, and the chair hit the table opposite, causing another louder noise.

When Xiao Yuchen saw that something was wrong, he immediately hugged Jiang Tangxi tightly and prepared to take her away, while at the same time instructing Yin Zhou to stay and deal with the matter.

But just as Jiang Tangxi stood up, her delicate little face was exposed to the sight of the big men.

One of the big men's eyes widened instantly, and he lost interest in the servants in front of him. He stared at Jiang Tangxi with his squinting eyes, and said in a dirty way: "Oh, this girl is really good-looking, hehe."

Then, he turned his gaze to Xiao Yuchen, looking at Xiao Yuchen's relatively petite figure, and sneered with disdain: "With your small figure, are you worthy of such a beautiful lady? I think you should just get out of here. It's a pity for this little lady to follow you... My little beauty, I'll give you a chance. Kick out the pretty boy next to you and follow me. I promise to make sure you have everything you want!"

When Tuoba Yanxi heard this, she was furious. She protected Jiang Tangxi behind her, stared at the big man with cold eyes, and said sternly: "Watch your mouth, do you know who we are? If you dare to say something nonsense again, I will make you regret coming into this world."

The big man laughed out loud, as if he had heard a great joke. He rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong arms, and said nonchalantly, "Hey? This young lady is not bad! I didn't expect that the young ladies in the capital are more beautiful than each other! Come on, follow me, I will definitely not treat you unfairly!"

As he said that, he strode towards Xiao Yuchen and Jiang Tangxi.

Jiang Tangxi stood quietly beside Xiao Yuchen. The calmness on her face was not blind, but came from her complete trust in Xiao Yuchen.

She frowned slightly, thinking that the fat man's words were really vulgar and unpleasant.

Xiao Yuchen's face was grim. He said coldly to Yin Zhou beside him: "It's New Year's Day, and there are still people who don't know the rules. Then let them know the rules of the capital."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yinzhou and Yuzhu rushed forward with swords in hand without hesitation.

Those big guys were not pushovers either. Seeing Yinzhou and Yuzhu attacking, they immediately got ready to fight.

Unexpectedly, these big men looked well-trained. Three or four of them fought with Yinzhou and Yuzhu and ended up in a draw. For a while, the two sides were in a stalemate.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuchen decided to take Jiang Tangxi away from this place of trouble first. He hugged Jiang Tangxi and started walking towards the palace.

However, as they walked, Tuoba Yanxi felt more and more frustrated.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She was a princess, but she was teased by a few street thugs. She couldn't swallow this.

His stubborn temper suddenly came up, he glared and stopped.

Then, without saying a word, she swung the whip at her waist with force, making a crisp "snap" sound, and then turned around and rushed upstairs without hesitation.

Jiang Tangxi was startled when she saw Tuoba Yanxi walking back, and she quickly called out to her, "Princess, don't go, it's too dangerous."

Xiao Yuchen patted Jiang Tangxi's hand gently and said calmly: "It's better to let her vent her anger. With Yinzhou and Yuzhu here, the princess won't be surprised. Besides, with her temper, she will definitely not give up if she is not allowed to vent her anger."
