“Sister Jin, these palace maids are by the one’s by Father’s side, right? I have something to let them do. You can go back and find your Prince Consort yourself! Oh my, have you become shabby after marrying into the Xiao Manor? You didn’t even bring your personal maids when you came out. Then go back on your own!” The two princesses mocked Yin Chujin and left with the palace maids without looking back.

Yin Chujin was dumbfounded. This position of princess was so useless. Anyone could bully her. This was her first time in the palace, and the palace was so big and complicated. She couldn’t find her way back at all. Did she, a princess who should have lived in the palace for 17 years, and should be able find her way even with her eyes closed, have to go around and ask for directions?

After taking a few steps, there were several forks in the road ahead. The flower beds were intertwined. Because it was autumn, many trees had begun to fall withered leaves, but the golden chrysanthemums were in bloom. Looking around, it was a sea of yellow. She could not tell which path was towards the palace entrance…

She walked back the way the palace maid had brought her, but she still hadn’t returned after a long detour. In her previous life, she had lived for twenty years. Other than martial arts training, she had almost been locked up in the basement to make medicine. She didn’t have the chance to go out and walk at all. Her sense of direction wasn’t strong. Gradually, she realized that she had walked to a completely unfamiliar place. She frowned and tried to walk again, but in the end, she realized that she was actually walking in circles. Finally, she stopped helplessly and leaned against a big tree to look back and forth for a long time, but she still didn’t find anyone walking. She didn’t know where she was now.

“Your Highness, since you’re so free, why don’t you come up and enjoy the scenery with me?”

Just as Yin Chujin did not know where she was, she heard a warm, low, and smiling male voice above her head. She looked up reflexively and saw an unusually handsome and devilish face.

That person was dressed in a gorgeous purple brocade robe. His eyebrows and eyes seemed to be fused with immortal energy and demonic aura, and his entire body was filled with charm. His thin lips curled up slightly, and his phoenix eyes swept over her with a faint smile. The folding fan in his hand was still moving from time to time. With just one look, her heart moved. There was actually such a… handsome and demonic man. Her appearance was already considered top-notch, and she had seen countless beauties in the organization, but all their beauty seemed too ordinary compared to the man’s beauty in front of her.

A demonic aura emanated from his body, causing Yin Chujin’s heart to ring with alarm. That was a dangerous person, and she shouldn’t get too close to him.

It turned out that the tree she was leaning on was in front of some rockery. There was a pavilion on the rockery, and the man was standing tall in the pavilion on the rockery. At this moment, he was looking down at Yin Chujin. How long had he been paying attention to her? Had he found out about her embarrassing act of looking for a way out? He knew that she was a princess, but she had no idea who he was. She was about to be exposed…

She had already been bullied by too many people today, and now there was another one. No matter how indifferent she was to everything, she was still filled with anger. Evil! Yin Chujin cursed in her heart.

Seeing that Yin Chujin was still standing there motionlessly, the purple-robed man exposed her unkindly. “Princess, you got lost in the palace that you’ve lived in for more than ten years. Don’t tell me you can’t even find the way to this pavilion?”

Yin Chujin frowned when she heard that. What did this guy mean? Did he really observe her for a long time and see that she was lost? She was already furious. She circled around the rockery and found a staircase to walk up to the pavilion. When she was five steps away from him, she glared at him with her almond-shaped eyes. “Are you peeping at me?”

The man in purple laughed impolitely and closed his fan. “Princess Yin, what do you mean?”

“If you didn’t peep at me, how would you know I… I was just taking a walk to admire the flowers!” She almost admitted that she was lost. Looking at the sly smile on the man’s face, as if he was waiting for her to jump into a trap, Yin Chujin glared at him and looked away.

“Taking a walk? Appreciating the flowers? This is the first time I’ve seen someone taking a walk and admiring the flowers in such a panic, so I thought that the princess had lost her way!”

“How can you be so clear about my every move if you weren’t looking at me?”

The man raised his eyebrows and rubbed his chin as he took a closer look at Yin Chujin. “I was admiring the scenery from this pavilion. I looked down and saw the princess walking around twice. Princess Yin was walking back and forth in my field of vision. How can you blame me for seeing you?”

Yin Chujin could not refute him. She rolled her eyes at him and looked away. She saw several plates of exquisite pastries and fruits on the stone table in the pavilion. It had been five days since she came to ancient times. The Xiao Manor had been abusing her stomach, and she had never had a proper meal. Seeing the food, her stomach protested uncontrollably.

Unsurprisingly, hearing the man’s low laughter again, Yin Chujin’s face turned slightly red.

“Eat if you’re hungry!”

Yin Chujin did not stand on ceremony with him. After all, she had already embarrassed herself twice in front of him today. She had to fill her stomach first.

Hence, she walked to the round table and picked up the pastries to eat. She ate elegantly, but because she was too hungry, she still ate a lot in one go.

“Princess, is the Xiao Manor abusing you?” The man was a little shocked. After the shock, he regained his usual expression. He walked forward and sat opposite Yin Chujin, pouring himself some wine.

“Who are you?” Yin Chujin swallowed the pastry in her mouth and finally asked the question in her heart.
