Lory enter the west courtyard where Yang Xi yin and Ming Yue Yin lived for some reason the two of them become closed at first yang Xi Yin feel uncomfortable to talk with the empress of Liang Zu but after she saw how Lory and ming Yue Yin interact and bicker to each other he feel stupid to be the only one who maintain her imaged, these two women bickering and teasing each other without care with status than slowly they're behavior rub on her and gradually she show her real self.
Lory enter Ming Yue Yin room, a few maids and Yang Xi Yin are in the room too, they are helping Ming Yue Yin dressing up like normal noble daughter with soft purple hanfu and half-bun hairstyle with little hairpin she look beautiful and fresh like an orchid flower, Ming Yue Yin go out with friends so today she overly excited.
"Are you all ready?" Lory enter the room.
"Aunty, how do I look" Ming Yue yin face lit up when she sees Lory.
"Beautiful, you look like normal girl" she raised her thumbs up.
"What you mean normal?" she pursed her lips.
Yang Xi Yin giggles "It mean you look less intimidating, we managed to toned down you're empress aura" said yang Xi Yin with soft smile.
"Is that so…..than that's good" Ming Yue Yin cheer again "Xi yin also very beautiful, no wonder Li Mo Zhen descend from the mountain just to marry you" she tease her and Yang Xi Yin blushed from shy.
"Don't laugh, she's got fiancée where is yours" Lory teased Ming Yue Ying back.
Ming Yue Yin pout, Lory is not the only one who asked that the old official had been asking her that for some time they even dare introduce they're son to her, what an annoying old fart!
"I will not get married!" Ming Yue Yin scowled at Lory.
Lory shrugs her shoulder casually while ignoring the empress sour face, the maids are fidgeting in the corner but Yang Xi Yin uses to this on she just giggles on the side.
"Let's go, its almost lunch" Yang Xi Ying gently reminds them.
"Oh yeah, let's go!" Lory beckoned Ming Yue Yin to raised her butt from the chair.
"Let's go-Let's go-Let's go!" she excitedly make long strides across the room while pulling Lory and Yang Xi Yin together.
The three girls left the Manor who is given name Yong Yuan by Bei Li Yan meaning is everlasting because he hopes this manor would last since the other manor is never last, no one in this world who destroyed they're own home as much as Zhao Li Xin.
When Ming Yue Yin heard about the name she can't stop laughing she almost can hear Bei Li Yan desperation, finding a suitable Manor is not easy he become quite picky after he met Lory even though Lory never said anything.
Lory and the others decide for not bringing any escort and without carriage too, the distance between the manor and the main road is not too far and they want to enjoy the atmosphere of Ching Su city, coincidently none of them ever here before so they quite excited to stroll around the street.
Ching Su city's main street is larger then Jing An city the stores also bigger the city look more prosper then Jing An city and compare to Sun Jan city this city is more crowded and less organized.
"I'm curious, this kingdom seems richer then yours but why they become submissive with you?" Lory whisper on Ming Yue Yin ears.
Ming Yue yin stifles "We may not as reach as for them….yet, but our army is the strongest even Jian Wei Kingdom is warry with us and especially our navy, no one can win against our navy" she raised her eyebrows meaningfully at Yang Xi Yin.
Yang Xi Yin, who is from Sun Jan city is part of Liang Zu Kingdom so she is Ming Yue Yin retainer if only her father knew she spending her time with the empress leisurely like this what kinda face her father would make?
"Its all because our Empress hard work, she kicks all the corrupt official and collaborated with Hei Shen Sect to increased trade in the country, Its not even a year after the empress ming reign the kingdom economy become better every day," Yang Xi Yin said utmost pride, Ming Yue Yin face gradually become red from embarrassment.
"Well, the empress has many good subordinated who help her so is not all her doing," she said shyly.
Lory laugh than she patted Ming Yue Yin head "Not bad, not bad at all…you're father must be proud"
Ming Yue Yin looks down as her face becomes redder, she feel embarrassed but happy at the same time Lory recognition is mean a lot for her, Lory is her goal she wants to be as smart and as wise as her only than she can become the great ruler her Kingdom needed.
Yang Xi yin watch both of them interact she always feel Luo Ri Yi identity is not simple and she is so mysterious but she is kind and selfless so Yang Xi Yin never doubt her, she finds it funny how close the relationship between the two of them but they're relationship is not superior and retainer but more like family and Lory is the elder where Ming Yue Yin always look at her with admiration brimmed in her eyes even when they are bickering.
"I'm hungry, let's eat they're" Lory pointing at the fancy restaurant not far from them.
"Oh I know that restaurant, its very high class and very expensive" sain, Yang Xi Yin, with awe.
"Its okay, its Yue yin treat" Lory patted Yang Xi yin shoulder.
"Why me?" she pouts.
"Isn't that obvious, the richer who got paid" Lory roll her eyes.
"Do you know you're fiancée is a lot richer then me?" Ming Yue Yin Remind Lory that Hei Shen is the one who helps her Kingdom economy if her Kingdom got benefit doesn't mean Hei Shen also got some benefit, not like Zhao Li Xin her profit enters the kingdom treasury while Hei Shen profit is entered Zhao Li Xin pocket.
"Hey, that's my fiancée, not me….I don't have an income you know" Lory correct her.
"Not true, you have money from Xi Lin tea house, don't you remember? I give you're share in a bank with you're name, its not much though" Yang Xi Yin suddenly give him a wooden rectangle placard with a purple tassel on the bottom, its an identification to draw her money from the bank.
Lory surprised she forgot completely about Xi Lin but yang Xi Yin is not and she seriously shares the profit with her, Lory smiles not because she got the money but because of Yang Xi Yin's honesty.
"Okay its my treat than!" she wiggles the placard on her hand.
"Yeay!"
