Xiao Mubei didn't tell Chu Yunxi where they were going. After getting off the carriage, Chu Yunxi looked up and saw the Prince Changning's Palace.

"Prince Changning? The Sixth Prince?"

"Yes, it's my sixth brother, but the one I want to take you to see today is my sixth sister-in-law. My sixth sister-in-law is the princess of Shusha Kingdom. She has a cheerful personality, is righteous, and has many friends. She rarely doesn't know those ladies of high rank. Therefore, no one knows more about the affairs of the officials in Dasui than she does."

Chu Yunxi became curious about what Xiao Mubei said. A princess from a foreign country, who married into Dasui, was able to thrive in the circle of noble ladies here. This person must have something extraordinary.

After the doorman went to report, Prince Changning Xiao Zili and Princess Hasna came out to greet them soon. Xiao Zili was also handsome, and it could be seen that Emperor Sui Ming had good genes, but Xiao Zili looked more bookish than Xiao Mubei, and because he seldom went out often, his skin looked a little pale.

Chu Yunxi also noticed that he seemed to have some hidden disease in his legs, and he limped a little when he walked fast.

Princess Hasna had a typical foreign appearance, with fair skin, blonde hair and blue eyes. She looked like a doll. Chu Yunxi began to understand why she was so popular, because no matter who saw her, they would like her involuntarily.

Hasna came out first, smiling brightly. Her Dasui said very well, "Eighth brother, you are such a busy man, but you finally came to see Sixth Brother and Sixth Sister-in-law?"

Then she saw Chu Yunxi. Before Xiao Mubei could say anything, the smile on her face became even bigger. She stepped forward and grabbed Chu Yunxi's hand and said, "Let me guess, this is my eighth brother's sister Yunxi, right? Look at this little face, so beautiful. She looks so stunning even in men's clothes. If she changes back into women's clothes, won't she fascinate many men?"

Chu Yunxi actually has a pretty appearance. She is definitely good-looking, but she is not stunningly beautiful. Chu Yunxi sighed in her heart, no wonder Hasna is so popular, she is cute and good at talking, how could she not be popular?

She curled her lips and smiled, "Sixth Sister, you are too kind. Sixth Sister is the one that everyone loves. I can't help but want to get close to her when I see her."

"Ah, you're really good at talking," Hasna turned around and said to Xiao Zili, "Zili, this is your first time meeting Yunxi too, right?"

Xiao Zili had a faint smile on his lips, and he looked at Hasna with eyes full of affection. He nodded to Chu Yunxi, "Eighth brother's sister, nice to meet you."

Chu Yunxi bowed to Xiao Zili and said, "Hello, Sixth Brother."

She remembered Xiao Mubei saying that his sixth brother never participated in the disputes among the princes and rarely left the palace, but in fact he was extremely talented and open-minded, and was the most suitable person to be the king.

Anyone who can be praised so highly by Xiao Mubei must not be an ordinary person, so Chu Yunxi naturally cannot neglect him.

Xiao Zili returned the greeting, and Xiao Mubei said with a smile: "You two are so polite, what should we do, Sixth Sister-in-law?"

Hasna smiled and said, "I won't be polite with you. We are all brothers. It's better to be casual. Yunxi," she held Chu Yunxi's hand again, "You don't have to be restrained. We are all family. Don't be polite when you meet."

Chu Yunxi smiled and nodded, and then the few of them walked in.

The palaces of these princes are all about the same size, but the styles inside are very different. The Changning Palace has pavilions, towers, bridges and flowing water, which is particularly poetic. It is obvious that the owner is a scholar.

Xiao Zili led Xiao Mubei and the other person to a pavilion. The weather in October was a little chilly, but the air was fresh, and sitting outside was indeed more comfortable than sitting in the room.

Hasna picked up the copper kettle on the stone table and poured a cup of fruit tea for Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi. "Eighth brother, Yunxi, try our Shusha country's unique fruit tea."

Chu Yunxi took a sip and said with a smile, "It's sweet and refreshing, with an endless aftertaste. Sixth sister-in-law, is this lemon honey water?"

Hasna opened her blue eyes wide and looked at Xiao Zili, "Oh my god, Zili, this is the second time someone has figured out what kind of tea this is in one gulp. The first one was you. Do you remember?"

Xiao Zili smiled, "Of course I remember. Otherwise, why would you look at me differently?"

Hasna patted him coquettishly, and Xiao Mubei covered his eyes, "Can you two be more careful, there are people here."

"Yunxi wouldn't care." Hasna looked at Chu Yunxi, "Have you been to Shusha Country before?"

Chu Yunxi shook her head, "No."

"Then why can we drink lemon honey water? Lemon is a rare fruit unique to our Shusha country." Hasna asked puzzled.

Chu Yunxi didn't know what to say. She couldn't say that in her era, lemons were everywhere, and lemon honey water was even more available everywhere. Which tea shop would be without these?

She was already familiar with the taste, but she didn't expect to be able to drink it in ancient times. Although the preparation here is more direct and there are no ice cubes, the taste is not much different.

"I was lucky enough to drink it once, and I've never forgotten it." Chu Yunxi took the initiative to pour another glass, "Sixth sister-in-law, your drink is so delicious."

Hasna said proudly: "Of course, I am the best person in Shusha at making lemon honey water."

Chu Yunxi drank the water again, and then said, "I'll have to ask Sixth Sister-in-law for the secret of making this fruit tea someday. Would Sixth Sister-in-law be willing to teach me?"

"Of course no problem." Hasna has truly fallen in love with Chu Yunxi.

Xiao Mubei saw that the small talk was almost over, so he said, "Sixth sister-in-law, we don't come here for no reason today. Yunxi actually wants to see you and wants to ask you for a favor."

"Whatever you need, just let me know."

Chu Yunxi said, "I want to ask you about the family of Sun Shiche, the Minister of Revenue. Does you know anyone in the Sun family?"

"Yes, I am familiar with Sun Shaoyuan's wife Lin Siyan. Yunxi, what do you want to find out? Let me see if I know."

Lin Siyan was the owner of the coffin shop. It seemed that she had found the right person. Chu Yunxi was delighted and asked, "Sixth sister, do you know whether the head of the Sun family, the Minister of Revenue Sun Shiche, particularly favors his youngest daughter Sun Shaozhen? And what about the relationship between the two sons of the Sun family, and how do they treat their sister?"

Hearing this, Hasna said, "You asked this, and I really know that Sun Shaozhen suffers from a serious heart disease, do you know that?"

Chu Yunxi nodded hurriedly. Hasna sat up straighter when she talked about this. "I heard from Lin Siyan that the little daughter of the Sun family seemed to have a disease from birth. It is said that it was because her biological mother, Sun Shiche's concubine, was seriously injured while saving Sun Shiche when she was pregnant with her, and she hurt the baby in her belly. So Sun Shaozhen was born with a heart disease that is difficult to cure. In this case, how could Sun Shiche not feel guilty about the mother and daughter? Naturally, he was very good to Sun Shaozhen."
