The situation in capital city is quite stable with the support of legendary figures like Fu Xiao Jin, Zhang Yu Hao, and Wu Tian Zi, Ming Yue Yin position as empress is solid especially when everyone knows she has inherited the sacred tree power and befriend with Hei Shen sect who normally never been partial with anyone, no one dare aginst her despited her young aged.

When it comes to lory helped, at first Ming Yue Yin wants to give her noble title for everything she had done for her, is clear for everyone Hei Shen sect won't help this much if not because of Lory but Lory reaction when she heard about the noble title is simply 'Heck no!'

Because of Emperor Ming Wang, corruption and nepotism thrive in every sector in the Kingdom as a new Ruler she must convince her people that she is not the same, if she make give Lory noble title people would start question her judgment, even though Lory did help her but what she had done is not something can be easily explain or believed, for all people know she is just a cripple girl without cultivation who fortunate enough to make Long Ming fond of her.

These two years ahead would be crucial for Ming Yue Yin to prove herself as a great ruler, make Lory as a noble is unwise decision, Zhang Yu Hong and Wu Tian Zi also support Lory decision although they feel grateful for her but for now they have so many things to get done before Ming Yue Yin can establish her position.

They all grateful for Lory wise assessment for a young lady to maintain clear-headed without influence by wealth and greed is very rare, once again their admiration for her taken to another level, every one of them glad she becomes ming Yue Yin first friend they believed with her guidance Ming Yue Yin would become splendid empress.

A few days later after Ming Yue Yin coronation, Lory and Zhao Li Xin leaved Jing An city this time Zhao Li Xin departed to Sun Jan city to investigated the red jade placard he had, from Jing An city to Sun Jan city would gonna take three days, it's not that long after they arrive at Sun Jan city, what make Lory surprised is the city is full with peach blossom tree and the young girls wear soft pink, peach color and soft blue color hanfu, they all look delicate and pure.

The man looks handsome but they all look to feminine and refined for her taste, some women might like this type but Lory use to surrounded by strong and enigmatic men through all her life so it's hard to appreciate delicate beauty like this, she rather look at the women, they all look young and vibrant.

Like always Girsha flew away without her notice, he is not called 'the Lord of the sky' for nothing. Zhao Li Xin knew Lory likes to take a stroll every time they come to a new city, even though he didn't like the crowd but for her, he doesn't mind. To make him less conspicuous Zhao Li Xin wear white robes with a silver flower on his sleeve, he wears a white half-mask that covers her face beside his mouth and chin, Lory helps him to tight his hair with simple jade hairclip.

Even with all that cover-up, Zhao Li Xin can't hide his noble aura and dangerous air around him, he still sticks out like a sore thumb. Zhao Li Xin didn't care about other people his focus is to make Lory wear the same hanfu design as his robes, it'a subtle gesture to show everyone they are a couple.

When Zhao Li Xin out from the carriage he immediately draws people's attention, his mask only make people curious how handsome he is behind that mask especially women, they all giggle and whispering to each other. Zhao Li Xin far from care he does not even realize it, Mong Yi lifts the curtain while Zhao Li Xin helps Lory to get down from the carriage.

She already expected he would lift her waist before put her to the ground, both of them smiles to each other without care for everyone envy gaze towards the two love birds.

"Where do you want to go?" Zhao Li Xin opens the white parasol to cover them both.

Lory shrugs her shoulders "Let's take a walk first" she eager to enjoy the romantic view around her. she holds Zhao Li Xin arms before they walk together under the white parasol, Mong Yi and mong Ki follow their lord in a safe distance, there's nothing annoyed Zhao Li Xin more then someone disturbs his sweet time with Lory.

Walk with Zhao Li Xin she has learned to be staring at with envy and jealous eyes, she already numb to it, and Zhao Li Xin must learn to be patient when man ogling his little savior, he learned to control his anger and control his qi at the same time at the end both of them learned something.

"Where is this sound come from?" Lory suddenly hears the sound of Gu Qin and women singing.

"It's from the tea house," said Zhao Li Xin.

In front of her a lavish two stored building painted with red color, the building is standing above the lake surrounded by white lampion and peach blossom tree, the building look more stand out compare to another building around it, Lory can't help to feel curious.

"You want to go inside?" Zhao Li Xin who always eager to spoiled her smiles gently at her.

"Yes!" Lory nods her head excitedly.

He wrapped his hand around her, he leads them inside the tea house, the waiter only needs one glance to know he is not a simple rich man, the waiter smiles politely "Welcome to the Fu Hua, honorable guess" he bows courteously.

"I want the private room with the best view," said Zhao Li Xin, his decisive words is considered normal for noble people in this world while talking to someone below your status but still a lot better than the first time they go out together she remembers the servants can barely stand close to him.

"Of course, mister, please follow me" the waiter smiles blooming even bigger, because Zhao Li Xin reserve the expensive room, he is right this guest is not simple, perhaps royalty or such, the waiter lead them to the second floor. it's not as big as a phoenix hall private room but it's still luxurious with wooden square table the window cover with pink curtains and beautiful lampion painting with peach flower above the table.

The waiter asked them what they are ordered because Lory loves sweet he orders Long Jin tea and sweet red bean soup for her, he never understands how could she eat so much sweet but as long she wanted it, he had no problem to fulfill it.

From her room Lory can see the lake view with small boat and girl holding colorful parasol on it, it's a mesmerizing view. The waiter arrives with a tea set and red bean soup for her, Lory smiles kindly to the waiter she holds herself not to say 'thank you' to scared the poor waiter.

The waiter bow respectfully before he left, the tea is not bitter so she can drink it easily although is not sweet enough for her but she needs to reduce her sugar consumption anyway.

"Is it good?" Zhao Li Xin asked.

Lory smacked her lips "It's not bitter"

"Don't eat too much sweet, is not good for you" he reminds her again like always.

"I know…" Lory pouted, then she takes the bowl and begins digging her meal.

Zhao Li Xin smiles watching her eating, even though she didn't eat like noblewomen supposed to but her movement still smooth and graceful it shows how much training she's had to embodied that certain behavior, he really curious what kinda princess she is he is sure she won't be like common Princess.

Lory just finish her meal when someone knocked their room softly, the waiter enter the room "Master, young Miss our lady wants to greet you" the waiter didn't waiting for Zhao Li Xin to answer he open the door for a beautiful lady with soft purple hanfu, the lady seems the same age like Lory, seventeen years old, beautiful features with small pink lips, a phoenix eyes, and fair skin, she also has almost the same overbearing temperament like Zhao Li Xin.

Zhao Li Xin's moods become bad, someone always messes his quality time with his woman every time they got out. He ignores the lady who came, he sips his tea leisurely treat the lady like an air, Zhao Li Xin might use to it but lory feel the situation is very awkward.

"It's been awhile Li Xin," she said calmly.

"Not really" he answers carelessly.

The lady glance at Lory who thankfully have a lot of training so she didn't look awkward at all, she smiles faintly to the strange lady who just came in, she got suspicious with the lady identity because he called Zhao Li Xin casually Lory never hear anyone called Zhao Li Xin by name, most people called him Milord or Master Zhao, but this lady seems like old acquaintance if not Zhao Li Xin would already kick her out of the room since he never regards his opponent gender before.

"My name is Tang Mei Yi, may I know young miss name?" she cupped her fist elegantly with gentle smiles on her face.

"My name is Luo Ri Yi, It is nice to meet you Miss Tang" lory cupped her fist politely.

"Is Miss Luo, Li Xin new subordinated?" she asked with a soft voice.

"Uhm…I" it's awkward for her to introduce herself, she decide to introduce herself as a friend but suddenly Zhao Li Xin cut her off.

"She's my fiancée…" he said with a calm face.
