Jingxue took off her fox fur coat and handed it to Xiaoman, saying nonchalantly, "That small penalty fee is something that both I and His Majesty can afford, so Second Prince, don't worry!"

Wanyan Junhao pursed his lips and said nothing.

Ye Muchen said, "The Second Prince, upon learning that we had returned to the palace, came to invite us over for drinks and meat."

“Yes! You had something to do yesterday, so come with us today!” Ulintuya said with a smile.

Actually, Jingxue was a little tired at the moment, but there was nothing she could do since they had already come to invite her.

"Why don't you guys go back first? I'll change my clothes and then come over shortly!"

“Okay! Let’s go back and prepare!” Ulintuya said.

After seeing the two off, Jingxue returned to her bedroom with her shoulders slumped.

Ye Muchen knew that Jingxue must be exhausted, as she hadn't rested well for the past two days.

"Gao Chi, take this token and go back to the manor to get me some clean clothes. I'll be staying here for a few more nights!"

"Yes, Your Highness. Shall I go to Cangbei to find you when I return? Or should you take Ying Si and the other two with you?"

"No need, just have dinner with them when you get back!"

Gao Chi took out a silver needle from his pocket, intending to hand it to Ye Muchen. "Your Highness, when you are eating..."

"No need, the Princess is here! You should go back to your residence immediately!"

"Oh! That's right, our Princess Consort is formidable, they wouldn't dare." Gao Chi finished speaking, put away the silver needles, and left.

Ye Muchen stood there, a smile on his face. Yes! His princess is quite formidable!

He recalled what Jingxue looked like when he first met her. In the past few months, Jingxue had become a bit plumper than before, mainly because the original owner preferred quiet and didn't exercise much, and ate little, so she had become a bit thinner.

Jingxue, on the other hand, is always busy and eats a lot, but it seems that apart from her breasts developing a bit, nothing else has changed much.

"Miss, don't you need me to go with you?"

Hearing Runyue's voice, Ye Muchen turned around and saw Jingxue coming out of the bedroom.

"Don't go. You've been running around with me these past two days. You should eat with your sister Xiaoman and the others! If you come with me, you don't know how long you'll have to stand. Today's meal might take a little longer!" Jingxue said.

"Oh! Alright then!" Runyue handed the gift box to Jingxue.

"What are you carrying? Let me do it!" Ye Muchen said.

Jingxue didn't stand on ceremony with him and directly handed the two gift boxes to Ye Muchen.

"It's not appropriate to visit someone empty-handed, so I brought some fruit and nuts. I was thinking of bringing tea, but I was afraid they wouldn't dare to drink it," Jingxue said as she walked out.

Ye Muchen followed behind, carrying a gift box in each hand. He felt quite pleased with himself. This was the first time he had gone out alone with Jingxue. Before, he always had attendants and maids with him. Although the opportunity was rare, he tried to find something to talk about and obediently followed Jingxue.

When they arrived at Yidong Palace, where Wanyan Junhao and his group were staying, it was the largest palace in the East Palace, with almost five courtyards.

Charcoal braziers were lit in the main hall. The Grand Preceptor of Wulin and the Seventh Prince were also there, along with several ministers from Cangbei.

After exchanging greetings, Jingxue and Ye Muchen sat down at a few low tables that had been temporarily set up together.

"War King, War Queen, today we shall taste the delicacies of Cangbei."

“Okay!” Ye Muchen nodded.

Jingxue opened the gift box and took out nuts and fruit. Wulintuya's two maids brought over several plates and arranged the nuts on several plates, placing them on each table.

"Bring a basin of water, wash the fruit here, cut it into small pieces and put it on a plate! Thank you!" Jingxue said, and she could clearly feel the maid tremble.

Jingxue: I didn't say anything!

The maid trembled slightly, clearly surprised that her mistress had thanked her.

The attendants began serving dishes, which were actually just boiled beef and mutton, along with some fried dough. Jingxue felt nauseous at the sight of them.

The mare's milk wine they were drinking had both an alcoholic and a faint milky aroma, but Jingxue couldn't drink it, saying she couldn't drink alcohol.

I took a few bites of the fried dough.

She didn't drink, but Ye Muchen had to. Wanyan Junhao kept raising his glass to Ye Muchen. Jingxue didn't know how much Ye Muchen could drink, but he seemed to be doing well!

"Princess Consort Zhan, I can't bear to use the glass tea set you gave me, it's so beautiful!" Wulintuya said.

Jingxue smiled and said, "If you like them, I can give you a few more sets!"

"I'm so sorry! I'll buy it from you!"

Wanyan Junhui said, "Princess Consort Zhan, we've seen the tea set that the Second Princess Consort has. We'd like to buy some from you, is that alright?"

"No problem! It's just that the price will be a bit high. As you know, it's glass, and the craftsmanship is very complicated. The price ranges from one thousand to five thousand taels. If the Seventh Prince is interested, I'll have someone send over a few samples for you to look at tomorrow!"

“Alright! Then I’ll have to trouble Your Highness tomorrow!” Wanyan Junhui said.

"It's no trouble at all!"

The Grand Preceptor of Wulin said, "I heard that the Princess's greenhouses were burned down. What a pity! I wonder if it will affect the grain we ordered?"

With the Emperor Emeritus's promise, Jingxue no longer wanted to hide anything. "No, those crops are just for teaching and training purposes for next year's planting. Our orders will not be affected in any way."

Upon hearing this, Wanyan Junhao said angrily, "Ye Muchen, your wife is too shrewd. She even lied to me before. She's like a vixen."

Ye Muchen laughed and said, "I love my princess no matter what she's like, so stop with the nonsense and come drink!"

"drink wine!"

“Seventh Prince, I actually have many items that my shops haven’t sold yet, and I think you might be interested in them,” Jingxue said.

"Oh! Did Your Highness bring it? I'd like to see it." Wanyan Junhui was a little wary. This Princess Consort of Zhan was very cunning, and he had to be careful.

Jingxue reached into the fox fur folded beside her and took out a telescope. "This is called a telescope. It doesn't need to be exposed to the sun and can be used for many years. It can see scenes ten miles away and also has night vision."

All eyes turned to him from Cangbei, and Wanyan Junhao stood up abruptly. "This prince doesn't believe it!"

Jingxue smiled and handed over the binoculars, "If you don't believe me, Second Prince, go out and try it."

Wanyan Junhui frowned in anger, but he didn't say anything. He figured Jingxue must still have some; he could just buy them from her.

Wanyan Junhao grabbed the binoculars and ran out.

"Your Highness, do you sell those hunting machines that can hear people talking?" Wanyan Junhui asked.

"Yes, we have that! It's something unique to our royal family. It's expensive, only a thousand taels of silver each." Jingxue had already decided that when doing business with them, the starting price would be a thousand taels.

"I can really see it clearly! I can see a man in black on the rooftop in the distance," Wanyan Junhao said in a loud voice.

This time, Wanyan Junhui got up, took the binoculars from his hand without ceremony, and went out.
