So, the fundamental reason why Your Majesty advocates war instead of marriage is that the person you loved back then was forced to become a princess in marriage
“How does Your Highness know these past events?” Nineteen years ago, the person before him had just been born and was still in his infancy.
"What I want to know can be found out even if it was twenty-nine years ago, not to mention nineteen years ago." Xiao Huayong rolled up his sleeves and changed a cup of tea for Shen Xihe. "If Yoyo has any questions in the future, just ask me. I am willing to be Yoyo's know-it-all."
Shen Xihe was already able to take Xiao Huayong's courtesy in stride. She smiled politely and said, "Is there anything in this world that Your Highness doesn't know? Is there anything that Your Highness can't do?"
Xiao Huayong was about to lower his head to drink tea, but after hearing her words, the tea bowl stopped at his lips. His eyes were soft and colorful, with affection at the end of his eyes: "I don't know what Yoyo's heart is; I can't ask for Yoyo's heart."
Shen Xihe was slightly startled, then smiled a little more deeply: "Yoyo Wuxin."
"No problem." Xiao Huayong seemed to have expected her to answer like this, and he still smiled gently, "As long as I have the intention, it's fine. Two people have one heart and one mind, and that's how it should be."
Shaking his head helplessly, Shen Xihe no longer advised him not to tease her anytime and anywhere, and made him understand that her heart was as firm as a rock, and he would retreat when faced with difficulties: "Thank you, Your Highness, for clearing up my doubts today."
Xiao Huayong told her what Emperor Youning was thinking. Since Emperor Youning had no intention of marrying a foreign princess, he would naturally not marry his daughter to someone he thought might be a homosexual. So she didn't need to rush to take action against Yang Ling.
Rather than Yang Ling being a chess piece, she wanted to know who was behind it.
After leaving the East Palace, Shen Xihe did not return to the Princess's Mansion immediately, but went to take a look at the Doujinyin Building that Bu Shulin mentioned.
This is one of the largest silver shops in Kyoto. It is not known who is behind it, but the owner is a wealthy businessman from Luoyang who is very good at scheming.
The dazzling array of items, the glittering pearls, the gold, silver and jade wares are eye-catching.
The waiters at the Doujin and Silver House are all burly and strong men, and it is said that they have specially hired an escort agency to provide them with protection.
"Lady, please come this way. What would you like to buy?" The smart saleslady came forward to entertain the female customer, while the male customer was entertained by the salesman, which was considered decent.
Shen Xihe was wearing a muli and was accompanied by Zi Yu, who rarely went out. The prostitute could only judge whether Shen Xihe was rich by his clothes and walking posture.
When she accidentally glanced at the jade pendant that was pressing down Shen Xihe's skirt, her eyes lit up and she said attentively, "Girl, why don't you go in and take a look? The inner room is full of top-quality items, and the upstairs is full of rare treasures."
Shen Xihe ignored her, and Ziyu said, "My wife likes quietness."
"I spoke too much." The saleswoman apologized with a smile, then followed Shen Xihe quietly.
Shen Xihe looked around casually, from the outer room to the inner room, and then went upstairs to sit in the private room for entertaining guests: "I have always heard that the Doujinyinlou is ingenious and elegant, but after seeing it today, it is not worthy of its reputation."
"Don't worry, girl. I'll go get some unique things from the celebrity." The boss, who got the news, came up with a smile on his face.
Shen Xihe hummed lightly. Her arrogant attitude did not anger her boss at all. Instead, it made her even more eager. This was because the jade pendant hanging by her leg was carved from the finest jade. It was a masterpiece of a great family. There was no other like it in the world. One jade pendant was worth half a silver shop.
