Fu Zichuan took a sip of wine and noticed that the seat opposite, belonging to Princess Yong'an, was empty.

I wonder if I might have the chance to witness her beauty today?"

Zhao Xi gently swirled his wine cup with his slender fingers, speaking in an indifferent tone, "Then you are very unfortunate; she did not come today."
"Pfft—" Someone couldn't help but burst into laughter.
