After provoking the holy maiden of Miao territory, she was infected with a love curse.

The journey to the capital was much simpler than Yin Huaixi had imagined. Along the way, Yin Huaixi ate when she was sleepy and ate when she was sleepy.

When she wanted to sleep, she would lie in Sang Che's soft arms and fall fast asleep; when she wanted to eat, she would simply call out Sang Che's name.

Knowing her tastes well, Sang Che would prepare all the dishes that suited her taste. The coachman was highly skilled, and Yin Huaixi felt no discomfort sitting in the carriage.

All of this accumulated over time caused Yin Huaixi to completely lose her sense of crisis along the way.

Looking out the window at the scenery and then at the newly cultivated farmland, she sighed, "Ah Che, how much longer until we reach the capital?"

Sitting in the carriage, continuing to tease the little insects in the pottery jar, Sang Che didn't even glance out the window before answering Yin Huaixi directly.

"We should be able to arrive before dark tonight."

"We're already outside the city."

Hearing Sang Che say this, Yin Huaixi couldn't help but feel excited.

Her understanding of the palace remained limited to its grandeur as described in books, and the stories told by those from Lingshui City who had visited the capital and brought back valuable items.

It would be a lie to say I'm not envious.

Who wouldn't want to visit the imperial city, broaden their horizons, and gain some knowledge?

We shouldn't be like the frog in the well, blinded by a single leaf.

Thinking of this, Yin Huaixi's spirits lifted for once. She supported herself on the soft animal skin cushion and moved closer to Sang Che.

With her chin almost resting on Sang Che's shoulder, Yin Huaixi asked with a light laugh, "Then, Che... while we're in the capital investigating Ah Shui's whereabouts, can we also take the time to travel around?"

Sang Che, who had not originally planned to do so, changed his mind after hearing Yin Huaixi's request.

She subconsciously reached out and gently stroked Yin Huaixi in response, nodding and saying only "okay".

Sitting inside the carriage, Yiyun hesitated to speak. Everyone knew that the Holy Maiden, while not exactly hating the Imperial City, certainly didn't like it either.

Whenever she arrived in the capital, the Holy Maiden only did what needed to be done.

Once things are settled, the Holy Maiden will absolutely not stay an extra day; if she can leave an hour early, she will not stay an hour late.

Sang Che noticed Yi Yun's furtive glances at him and put his index finger to his lips.

Sang Che gestured to Yi Yun not to make a sound and disturb Yin Huaixi. Upon receiving Sang Che's gesture, Yi Yun immediately looked away, knowing that the Holy Maiden did not want him to say these things.

They didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

Sang Che lowered his eyes and listened quietly to Yin Huaixi's ramblings.

The sweetness spreading through my heart seemed to be trying to wash away the surging gloom.

...

As soon as the carriage arrived at the gate of the imperial city, it was stopped by the army. However, Sang Che was prepared.

All documents are complete.

The other side checked the goods inside the carriage one by one, and only let the two people in after confirming that everything was correct.

Knowing how capable Sang Che was, Yin Huaixi never expected that Sang Che could arrange all of this so perfectly.

"The capital city is crowded and full of people, but it's also a good place to hide. Huaixi, if you can't speak like a man, just don't speak in a hoarse voice."

Sang Che had already purchased a house in the capital, where her informants lived, precisely to avoid the house being empty, attracting attention, and becoming the subject of gossip.

They will bring the Feather Guards here.

Yin Huaixi straightened her robes and nodded obediently. She was indeed not as good at imitating men's speech as Sang Che.

She wasn't unaware of the principle that the more you say, the more mistakes you make.

Seeing her like this, Yin Huaixi couldn't help but chuckle. She reached out and stroked the folding fan, and said to Yin Huaixi with a smile, "Huaixi, dressed like this, you should be my page."

"When you get off the carriage, you should walk in front of me so it doesn't look strange."

Yin Huaixi: "Oh, okay."

After responding, Yin Huaixi obediently stood in front of Sang Che. The coachman brought the carriage to a stop, and she saw Sang Che's two maids get off first.

Then she lifted the curtain and landed smoothly.

Yin Huaixi subconsciously looked up and saw Sang Che's eyes and brows under his black hat. At Sang Che's signal, she subconsciously reached out her hand, looking exactly like the most cherished pageboy of a noble family.

People in the capital were already speechless with astonishment upon seeing this.

If it were the people from Lingshui City, they would have stood there and talked for hours before they would stop.

...

Inn.

Sang Che did not immediately go to find his informant and move into his residence.

She had just arrived in the capital, travel-worn and weary, and planned to go to the capital under the guise of visiting a seriously ill old friend at the request of her family.

"Gentlemen, I'm very sorry, but we only have one superior room left, which was just vacated by a guest. I'll have someone clear it out... How about your young page stays in a medium-grade room?"

The shopkeeper apologized sincerely. Seeing Sang Che's attire, he dared not be negligent. If he really offended some local tycoon or young master, he would be the one who would suffer the consequences!

"Shopkeeper, no need."

"My little pageboy can share a room with me. Just remember to keep that superior room clean, and I'll reward you handsomely afterwards."

Yiyun deliberately took out her money bag and shook it next to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper clasped his hands together and smiled knowingly.

"What you say is true, young master."

"I'll arrange it right away."

"I will make sure you are satisfied, young master."

Having lived in the capital for many years, he had seen all sorts of strange and unusual things. The fact that this young nobleman was accompanied by a pageboy made it obvious what his intentions were.

The beads on the brim of his hat swayed as Sang Che laughed heartily: "You're too kind, shopkeeper. I'm new to the capital and don't know anyone here, so I'm relying on you a lot. If you do a good job, you'll all get a reward."

Standing silently beside Sang Che, Yin Huaixi saw the shopkeeper's "unfathomable" smile and was speechless for a moment.

What kind of nonsense is this guy thinking! Or is it just that city people enjoy fancy things?

Lingshui is indeed a rural place; compared to eating, drinking, and having fun, it's not even worthy of carrying shoes for city people!

"Look at that young master's pageboy, oh my... that fair-skinned face doesn't look like he's studying at all, he's clearly a concubine placed in the master's room!"

"Brother, you're talking nonsense again after drinking. That young master can do whatever he wants, his family's got his back, so shut up..."

Known as the "mistress stuffed into the room," Yin Huaixi lowered her eyes. In the past, she would have smashed a wine bowl on that person's head.

I'll make sure his head explodes.

Let her know what it's like to see your great-grandparents when you're drunk.

But now... Yin Huaixi wasn't angry, because if others really thought that way, then her and Sang Che's idea of ​​wearing men's clothes would be just as she wished.

The best thing is that no one knew she and Sang Che had entered the capital quietly.

She's magnanimous; she won't get angry over a few words.

"Hahaha, let me tell you..."

The drunk man swayed and raised his hand, as if to speak softly.

His companion leaned closer and overheard the man slowly say, "This little page... he's obviously the one lying under you. Who knows, the young master will probably make him cry all night..."

Yin Huaixi: "!"

Blood may flow, heads may be severed, soldiers may be killed, but not humiliated!

This is intolerable!

How could she have been made to cry by Sang Che? That's absurd!
