Chapter Five, The Damned Woman

Just then, a gentle breeze blew, slightly lifting the curtain of the carriage. Yin Qingyue, through the curtain, caught a glimpse of a man's profile, strong and handsome, exuding a rich masculinity

This sentence fell on Chu Jingcheng's ears, making him even more uncomfortable. He thought once again of the woman who had stripped him of his clothes and taken his money. The women of Xize, full of tenderness and affection, seemed as if they were made of water. Ha, a delicate woman would do such a thing to him! Moreover, that outfit was not ordinary; the hem was embroidered with patterns exclusive to the royal offspring of Beihou. Sooner or later, he would catch that damned woman!

A girl with yellow hair, being able to obtain the clothes of Prince Jing, is quite an accomplishment. Old Xu laughed again, then entered the house to inspect a batch of high-quality fabrics that had just arrived yesterday, leaving his friend alone in the courtyard to ponder.

It was not until Yin Qingyue left the line of sight that the tavern owner spoke, "Old Xu, you can't possibly be thinking of moving the Caiyi Pavilion to the Beihai Kingdom, can you?"

The tavern owner, seeing Lao Xu so enthusiastic today, squinted his eyes. This woman is in a close relationship with Prince Jing, and Lao Xu is trying hard to please her. Is it possible that the Caiyi Pavilion is going to move to the Beihai Kingdom?

Yin Qingyue sighed, the charm of Prince Jing is truly great - both in pictures and in books, appealing to both men and women

Old Xu laughed and said, "I have always been accurate in judging people. I don't know why, but I just feel that this woman is destined for greatness, regardless of her relationship with Prince Jing."

Yin Qingyue stopped in her tracks, her eyes revealing confusion. Is Prince Jing returning to the outskirts of the capital? Is he searching house by house? Is he looking for someone?

"My lord, should I disperse these commoners? They are too noisy," the guard could no longer tolerate it and spoke again.

Thank you for the reminder, shopkeeper. I will take my leave today. Yin Qingyue replied with a smile, then turned and left with her bundle.

At this moment, he held a strikingly bright red bellyband in his hand, and a dark glimmer appeared in his calm eyes. Woman, I must find you!

Oh, this is the first time I have heard you evaluate a woman in such a way, especially a young girl with yellow hair

Yin Qingyue's expression was indifferent. This is Xize. According to the normal reactions of the citizens, one should be interested in their own country's royal family, yet now they are gossiping about the princes of another country. It seems that Beihao is significantly more powerful than Xize.

At that moment, the guard suddenly approached the curtain of the carriage and whispered to the inside, "Your Highness, the women of Xize are not as gentle and tender as the rumors suggest. I feel that the gaze of those women is like that of wolves, wanting..." The guard did not finish his sentence. He was not the prince's personal guard, Leng Feng. Leng Feng sometimes joked with the prince, but he did not dare to do so. He merely described the Xize women he had witnessed with his own eyes.

The profile was naturally seen by some common people, and they all became excited, especially the few heavily made-up women standing at the front. These women were from the flower house, and their behavior was inherently bolder than that of some other women

The men of Beihou are truly exceptional; each region nurtures its own people. Compared to the men of Beihou, the men of Xize are somewhat weaker in physique. Thus... the women of the flower house giggled, all imagining the sensation of being with a Beihou man, undoubtedly a myriad of pleasures.

At this moment, Chu Jingcheng, who was being secretly slandered by Yin Qingyue, was sitting in the carriage. He was a person of a cool demeanor, disliking lively places and even more so, being the center of attention.

The carriage drove up to the small shop managed by Yin Qingyue, and her heart sank suddenly; it turned out that the caravan she encountered in the suburbs of the capital was indeed that of Prince Jing.

Have you heard? The Prince Jing just entered the capital, but suddenly turned back and returned to the outskirts of the city. There are several villages in the outskirts, and the Prince Jing has sent people to search every household, though it is unclear what they are looking for. This conversation between two vendors on the street fell into Yin Qingyue's ears

Miss, if you are not even aware of the Caiyi Pavilion, you must not be from the capital. Given the current turmoil, you should be more cautious.

The capital became even more lively with the arrival of Prince Jing, as the citizens automatically formed two lines, calling out for Prince Jing while closely watching the exquisitely decorated carriage.

A woman holding a set of men's clothing would raise suspicions. In modern times, it might be acceptable, but this is ancient times! Moreover, she is uncertain whether that "vegetative" man has awakened; if he were to come to the capital, holding a set of his clothes would mean she is just waiting to be caught by him

The young woman ... ... just as the vendor was about to say something, he suddenly heard a crowd ahead, bustling with voices.

The soft red fabric brushed against his chest as the carriage swayed, while his mind was constantly occupied with thoughts of that bold woman and the book

She knows nothing about the Northern Hao Kingdom, and can only walk while searching for a pawnshop, casually listening to the conversations of passersby to gather any valuable information.

Inside the carriage, Chu Jingcheng stared at the belly band for a long time, and finally folded it neatly and placed it against his chest

No need, increase the speed and head to the palace. His Majesty Xize has been waiting for a long time. As soon as Chu Jingcheng's cold command sounded, the convoy immediately quickened its pace, the hooves of the horses clattering and raising a cloud of dust.

Yin Qingyue left the Caiyi Pavilion early. She was not in a hurry to eat, but rather eager to sell the clothes in her bundle. Wearing them felt like a ticking time bomb to her. She had a vague sense that the man who had stripped her was not ordinary, and he would not remain asleep forever

"Miss, could you please help us keep an eye on this place? My brother and I have admired Prince Jing for a long time, and we must go see him immediately. Thank you for your trouble!" After saying this, the two vendors immediately rushed forward.

"No need to thank me, the coarse cloth clothing is not valuable, young lady. I will give you a bundle; you should pack this set of men's clothing into it. Otherwise, if you walk on the street and are seen by someone with discerning eyes, you might encounter thieves," Old Xu replied with a smile, taking a deep gray bundle from the rack in the courtyard and handing it to her

Two vendors spotted her, and one of the men smiled, "Miss, you look so confused; you wouldn't happen to not recognize Prince Jing, would you? The Prince Jing of the Beihai Kingdom!"

You are truly considerate, thank you. Yin Qingyue took the bundle, neatly folded a set of men's clothing, and packed it inside, as it was all going to be sold at the pawnshop anyway

Hurry over to take a look! The reputation of Prince Jing is resounding; he is the most handsome man in Beihai and also a god of war! The men of Beihai and those of Xize look quite different from each other

The speakers are all women, their voices not delicate but rather resonating with a robust strength. Yin Qingyue felt disinterested; no matter how beautiful they were, they were still just two eyes, one nose, and one mouth, what was there to admire! Moreover, the men she had seen in the suburbs of the capital were, to be honest, exceptionally handsome, truly top-notch specimens!

Yin Qingyue stepped out of the house, dressed in a light yellow coarse cloth garment, with discarded men's clothing hanging from her wrist. She approached Old Xu and said politely, "Thank you for the gift of clothing"

The Prince Jing has entered the capital! Right at the city gate, this time he will not return to the outskirts of the capital!
