The number one spendthrift woman in the capital actually brings glory to her entire family?

"What do you mean, 'that guy'? He was just drunk and got dragged into an alley and beaten up by those people. It's nothing serious. You know, in this capital city, because of my talent and good looks, a lot of people don't like me. Getting beaten up is what I deserve. Who told me not to be a low-key, luxurious, cultured, and well-mannered person?"

Sikong Jin shrugged helplessly, pretending not to understand Tuoba Yu's words, and said with a self-deprecating tone.

Tuoba Yu smiled but remained silent, his deep eyes fixed on Sikong Jin for a long time, without pressing for answers or trying to figure things out.

He firmly believed that the person he saw that night was Sikong Jin, and he had always thought that Sikong Jin was no ordinary person, but definitely a remarkable individual!

This person has many secrets worth exploring, and he is very interested in him.

Tuoba Yu made no attempt to hide his meaningful gaze. He slowly picked up his wine cup, took a sip, and laughed, "It seems that the security in the capital of Dayong is not very good, that it could have injured Lord Sikong so badly."

Sikong Jin sneered, "The capital city has indeed been in some chaos lately. If I find out which bastard ambushed me, I don't care if he's a man or a woman, I will throw him into the military camp to serve as a military concubine, and then skin him alive, tear him apart, grind his bones to dust."

Tuoba Yu was taken aback, a glint of light appearing in his eyes. He tentatively smiled and said, "Lord Sikong is truly a man who hates evil, which I greatly admire. I find it very pleasant to be with someone of your temperament. If Lord Sikong were a woman, I would certainly propose marriage directly to the Sikong family and marry you as my princess consort."

"I also wish I were a woman. You are so handsome and extraordinary, and there is that Crown Prince of the Northern Empire. Marrying any one of you would be a great honor for a woman. It's just a pity that fate has made me so tragic. I was born a boy, and what's worse, I look like this, neither male nor female, a transvestite. Several times, I have been mistaken for a woman and almost slept with by those men. You are a man too, you should know what it feels like to be humiliated and lose your manhood."

Sikong Jin sighed wistfully, looking sad and helpless. "To defend my dignity as a man, I can only numb myself with this strong liquor, frequently going to brothels to find courtesans... Sigh, why am I telling you all this? You're a high and mighty prince, of course you wouldn't understand the feelings of a fallen and destitute young master like me. What's the point of talking about male dignity now? Get the hell out of here! Without power, everything is worthless. I can't even protect my own woman... Come, let's drink. Let's go find some courtesans together later. I heard a really hot girl came to Xianghua Brothel, from beyond the Great Wall, passionate and unrestrained, irresistible, but a bit of a hypocrite... Those kinds of women are the best at pretending. Tonight, my brother and I will take turns. I'll go first, then you can rest and see how good I am..."

After several drinks, Lord Sikong started rambling on and on, spitting saliva all over the table. He was vulgar, irritable, and loud, drawing disdainful glances from the guests on either side.

Tuoba Yu couldn't listen any longer and quickly interrupted her, "I heard that the Ninth Princess has also left the capital of Dayong?"

How can he possibly believe his own suspicions when someone can say something so shameless?

There are plenty of men who are born with feminine features. Wasn't the famous Crown Prince of the Northern Empire cold and beautiful, so alluring that he captivated people's hearts and his demeanor amazed the world?

That man's appearance far surpassed that of any stunning woman in the world. His wisdom, his domineering presence, and his kingly aura that held the world in his grasp made it impossible for anyone to doubt his gender.

And now, Sikong Jin is the same...

“Girls always miss their parents. It’s good for her to spend a few more years with her father. After she marries me, she will have to be a good wife and mother and will no longer be free. As a man who loves her deeply and understands the greater good, I understand her very well.”

Sikong Jin poured wine for Tuoba Yu and replied, "By the way, I heard that you, Third Prince, are also about to leave our Dayong Imperial City. What's the matter that you're in such a hurry to leave? There are several scenic spots near the Imperial City that are quite nice. I heard from the Emperor that he seems to want to arrange for a certain prince to accompany Your Highness to take a look."

Sikong Jin smiled and changed the subject.

Tuoba Yu gave Sikong Jin a deep look before smiling and saying, "Now that we have facilitated the marriage between the two dynasties, we should go back as soon as possible to make more preparations. After the New Year, I may serve as the ambassador for the marriage between the two dynasties and go to Dayong again. At that time, I hope that Lord Sikong will still recognize me as a friend."

Sikong Jin readily nodded, "Of course, didn't we agree that we're good brothers? Brother Tuoba?"

"One of the most fortunate things about my trip to Dayong is that I have made a good brother like Lord Sikong."

"Not at all, it's my honor. Come on, let's drink to this..."

……

The two drank together under the moon until nearly dawn before parting ways.

Slightly tipsy, Sikong Jin staggered towards the Sikong residence, while Tuoba Yu, who had been standing behind her, watched her departing figure intently...

Only when that figure was gradually swallowed up by the vast night did he slowly withdraw his gaze. What lingered in his mind for a long time was her gloomy little face hidden beneath her smile.

In a daze, he even thought of himself; for the first time, he felt a resonance in someone else that was as strong and profound as his own…

From that moment on, he knew that the name Sikong Jin might hold a special place in his heart...

A few days later, Sikong Jin's work got back on track, and the pile of documents that had been waiting for her were finally reviewed within the stipulated time. She could finally take a breather.

A few days later, one afternoon, Sikong Jin invited Tang Jingyao to afternoon tea at the Tianxia Diyi Lou restaurant.

Tang Jingyao, being very accommodating, immediately ordered the most expensive Pu'er tea upon sitting down, along with several delicious and pricey snacks. He even shamelessly asked someone to pack a few to take back, saying he wanted to satisfy his wife Lan Zixi's cravings.

It was so excessive that Sikong Jin wanted to punch someone.

"The officials to be transferred after coordination between Zhongzhou and the court have been announced. Ajin, what are your plans? I heard that you applied to Grand Secretary Ji to transfer several of your subordinates to other places. You don't have any of your confidants around you. This is not good. You are in a very passive position."

Tang Jingyao looked at Sikong Jin with a puzzled expression and asked.
