When Su Yuejian woke up, what came into her sight was the familiar curtains and room. She woke up instantly and sat up.

She only remembered that she was so sleepy that she fell asleep in the carriage yesterday. How did she get back?

She hurriedly lifted the quilt and checked that her clothes were intact.

Could it be that Xiao Heng carried her back yesterday?

Thinking of this, her cheeks couldn't help but feel hot. Before she could get over her embarrassment, Yuzhu's voice came from outside the door.

"Miss, Princess Jing'an's attendant Yao Cai just sent a message, inviting you to meet at Zuixian Tower at noon today."

Su Yuejian responded, "Okay, ask her to tell the princess that I will be there on time."

After a while, Yuzhu and Yinxin came in to help her dress and do her makeup.

She first went to pay her respects to the old lady, then took Yuzhu and Yinxin and got on the prepared carriage to go out to the appointment.

In the bustling street market, the cries of hawkers can be heard one after another, and pedestrians come and go in an endless stream.

Zuixianlou is also Shuiyunjian’s property. It is the largest and most famous restaurant in Kyoto, located on Yong'an Street, the most prosperous street in Kyoto.

As soon as she entered Zuixianlou, the waiter came to greet her warmly. After she introduced her name, the waiter led the way and Yuzhu helped her to the innermost private room on the third floor.

Generally, the distinguished guest rooms are on the top floor. Su Yuejian took a quick glance and found that there was another floor on the top.

Yuzhu understood and asked, "Is this fourth floor also a private room?"

The waiter said with a smile, "Is this your first time here? The private room on the fourth floor of our Zuixianlou is reserved for our master and is not open to guests."

Su Yuejian nodded.

Xie Jiusi, the head of the Xie family, is smart, cunning, and very scheming. He is the youngest head of the Xie family in history. Under his management in recent years, the Xie family's businesses have occupied most of the industries in Tianjin, and he has become the richest man in Tianjin.

Before Yuzhu could go forward and knock on the door, Yaocai opened it.

A woman in a gorgeous blue dress was sitting in the private room, and various delicacies had already been prepared on the table.

Xiao Ningyao warmly invited her in.

She patted the seat next to her and said, "Yue'er, sit down quickly."

Su Yuejian did not dare to forget her identity as a princess. She bowed respectfully before letting Yuzhu lead her to sit down.

"Yue'er, I missed you so much after our hasty farewell that day, but Mother was watching you closely. I finally managed to get you half a day after begging many times."

Xiao Ningyao held Su Yuejian's hand and said affectionately.

Su Yuejian smiled lightly, "I miss the princess too."

Xiao Ningyao curled her lips, and without further ado, she picked up her chopsticks and prepared to eat.

"These are the signature dishes of Zuixianlou. Come and try them."

The two of them ate and chatted.

"Yue'er, Brother Yanzhou hasn't married yet. I don't know why, but does he have someone he loves?"

Su Yue was startled for a moment, then smiled teasingly and said, "Princess, do you like your servant's brother?"

Xiao Ningyao's face flushed and she stammered.

Seeing her so shy, Su Yue stopped teasing her and thought for a moment before saying, "As far as I know, my brother is only interested in sage books and official duties, and has no one in mind."

Xiao Ningyao's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Really?"

Su Yuejian nodded seriously.

Xiao Ningyao then asked, "What kind of woman does he like?"

Seeing her being so cautious, Su Yuejian felt as if she saw herself in her previous life, changing herself to please a man, and she couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

She shook her head and said, "I have never heard my brother mention any woman."

Xiao Ningyao was not discouraged either. "It's okay, as long as he doesn't have anyone in his heart."

Then he took out an exquisite sachet from his sleeve and placed it in her hand.

"Yue'er, can you help me bring this to him..."

Su Yuejian understood what she meant, but she didn't know her brother's feelings. What if this kind of confession of feelings...

She didn't want to lose her friend.

Seeing that she hesitated to answer, Xiao Ningyao also understood that this matter was very difficult, so she simply said,

"It doesn't matter if he doesn't accept it. I just want him to know my feelings."

Seeing her determined gaze, Su Yue was moved by her upright attitude and nodded, putting away the sachet.

Xiao Ningyao's eyebrows curved, and she smiled crisply.

"Is Yue'er free this afternoon?"

Su Yuejian nodded.

"That's great. Jinxiufang has just received a batch of Liuguang Shu brocade. Yue'er, please go with me to take a look and help me appreciate it."

Xiao Ningyao had just finished speaking when Yao Cai next to her coughed lightly.

Only then did she realize that she had forgotten that Su Yuejian couldn't see and blurted out asking her to choose the fabric. She was feeling a little embarrassed.

Su Yuejian replied nonchalantly, "Okay, it just so happens that I haven't made new clothes for a long time. Princess, would you mind consulting with me today?"

Xiao Ningyao smiled brightly upon hearing this and nodded in agreement.

At this time, the waiter knocked on the door and came in, took out two dishes and a pot of Chang'an wine from the tray and put them on the table.

Yao Cai asked doubtfully, "We didn't order these two dishes. I'm afraid the waiter sent the wrong ones."

The waiter grinned and bowed, replying, "My lords, this is a gift from our master. He said that today's meal is hosted by Zuixianlou, and it is an honor for us to have Her Royal Highness the Princess visit us. Miss Su's immortality is well-known throughout Tianjin, and the master has long admired your name."

After finishing speaking, he backed out.

Yao Cai muttered softly, "This Xie family master really knows how to behave."

Su Yuejian and Xiao Ningyao didn't care and continued to eat.

In the private room on the fourth floor, Xie Jiusi was reclining on the couch in the inner room, sipping wine. A beautiful woman in a pink dress was sitting at the round table in the outer room. Her eyes were moving, and her slender hands were lightly playing the pipa in her arms, making a melodious sound.

Gan He pushed the door open and walked in.

"Has the stuff been delivered?"

Gan He nodded. "Yes"

Xie Jiusi curled his lips slightly.

He came to inspect the store today and happened to see that familiar purple figure.

Thinking back to the previous investigation into Su Yuejian, this eldest daughter of the Su family had a tragic fate. It's a pity for such a talented woman.

Not long after, Xiao Ningyao and Su Yuejian finished their meal and went to Jinxiufang.
