He first confirmed that the little girl was sleeping soundly before he went to Princess Ata's room.
"Please have a seat, Master Ji."
"I've already told you, Princess, just call me by my name in the future. Youze, or Young Master Eight, as you prefer."
"Alright, then I'll call you Young Master Eight. You also need not call me Princess, just call me Pearl. The Dongyue Royal Family has long since changed hands. I, a princess of a fallen country, am no longer a princess."
Ji Youze fell silent upon hearing this, not responding, and the two simply sat opposite each other.
"Young Master Eight, you've been busy with duties all day, you must be exhausted. I've had Enchanting prepare two fine flasks of wine for you to enjoy and relax."
Princess Pearl picked up a wine flask to pour Ji Youze a drink and poured one for herself as well.
Ji Youze stared at the wine flask in her hand for a while.
"This wine flask is quite exquisite; it must be one of the Princess's treasures!"
