The name Susu is clearly a nickname; such an intimate form of address can easily lead people to believe that she is Xiao Jinyan’s Crown Princess.

Ouyang Leyuan frowned, who keeps a tiger as a pet? One glance and you could tell she must be a shrew. How could Xiao Jinyan possibly like such a woman?

Could it be because of a political marriage?

In the Royal Family, political marriages are nothing out of the ordinary.

It must be so.

Thinking this, Ouyang Leyuan felt that she still had a chance.

Dabai lifted its head and glanced at Xiao Jinyan but did not approach them.

Xiao Jinyan withdrew his gaze and led the two of them forward, making several turns before arriving at the Bedchamber.

Along the way, Palace Maids and Eunuchs bowed in unison to greet them.

Ever since Feng Wuyou became the Crown Princess, the number of Palace Maids and Eunuchs serving her had increased from the original six to sixteen.

Feng Wuyou was engrossed in reading a Medical Book when suddenly she heard a Palace Maid say, "Master, His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."

She looked up towards the door and saw a dark figure entering.

The Palace Maid paced out with small steps.

Feng Wuyou did not rise to offer a formal greeting, because Xiao Jinyan had said that when they were alone in her own Bedchamber, there was no need for formalities.

"Your Highness, aren’t you very busy today?"

"I am quite busy, I have brought two guests," Xiao Jinyan said, looking towards the door.

Ouyang Jingyuan and Ouyang Leyuan entered one after the other.

Feng Wuyou followed Xiao Jinyan’s gaze to the door, and upon first sight recognized Ouyang Jingyuan, whom she had met in the Xingmiao Clan, and recognized him immediately.

She hadn’t expected to see him again after several months apart, and couldn’t help feeling a bit excited.

She put down the Medical Book in her hand and began to put on her embroidered shoes.

Ouyang Jingyuan saw the woman on the bed, wearing a pink dress, tender and charming, entirely different from the last time he saw her; this time, her attire was particularly noble.

Initially, she hadn’t deceived him; she was indeed Xiao Jinyan’s Crown Princess.

Ouyang Leyuan followed suit and, upon seeing the woman on the bed, felt she looked familiar. After thinking carefully, her eyes widened suddenly, "You’re the Divine Doctor?"

Feng Wuyou saw that Ouyang Leyuan had also arrived, and her excitement halved, for she had not forgotten the princess’s intentions towards Xiao Jinyan.

Xiao Jinyan said, "She is my Crown Princess. In order to find me, she had disguised herself as a man to go to the Xingmiao Clan."

Ouyang Leyuan was shocked for a long time, not having expected the Divine Doctor to be a woman in disguise, nor that she was the Crown Princess. Such a deep scheme, no wonder she had failed to notice.

When Feng Wuyou was in the Xingmiao Clan, she did not know she was Feng Wuyou, but now she had regained her memory and also remembered Ouyang Jingyuan.

Her eyes turned to Ouyang Jingyuan; it had been ten years since they had last seen each other, and he seemed to have changed a lot.

Xiao Jinyan watched Little Nine, seeing her staring unblinkingly at Ouyang Jingyuan. He glanced at Ouyang Jingyuan too and noticed that he was also staring at Little Nine; his gaze darkened.

Ouyang Jingyuan smiled and said, "It’s been a long time, you look well."

Feng Wuyou’s eyes curved into a smile, "Brother Ayuan, it’s been so long."

Ouyang Jingyuan hadn’t heard anyone call him that in a long time; hearing it now, he was momentarily stunned, as if somewhat in disbelief.

"You’re calling me Brother Ayuan?"

Feng Wuyou took a few steps forward, coming beside Xiao Jinyan, and smiled at Ouyang Jingyuan, "Yes, I’ve always called you that."

Ouyang Jingyuan was taken aback briefly, then realized, his eyes showing a hint of delighted surprise, "You’re Little Nine?"

Feng Wuyou nodded, "Yes, I’ve remembered everything."

"I never imagined you were truly Little Nine; they all said you had disappeared," Ouyang Jingyuan said with excitement, not knowing quite what to say, "It’s fortunate that you’ve returned safely."

He glanced again at Xiao Jinyan, "I never thought you would end up marrying Xiao Jinyan."

Feng Wuyou looked up at Xiao Jinyan, and he was just lowering his gaze; their eyes met, one filled with joy, the other with relief.

Ouyang Leyuan, recovering from her shock, was reluctant to admit that Feng Wuyou looked even more stunning in women’s clothes than in disguise.

It was just a matter of being pretty, nothing so extraordinary.

She lifted her head to ask Ouyang Jingyuan, "Brother, do you know her?"

Ouyang Jingyuan nodded, "Yes, I met her when I visited Nanzhao Country; she is Princess Jiuyou."

Princess Jiuyou?

When Ouyang Jingyuan returned from Nanzhao Country, Ouyang Leyuan, out of curiosity, had dragged him to talk about his time in Nanzhao Country.

And he had mentioned Princess Jiuyou.

Princess Jiuyou is the daughter of the National Master.

Ouyang Leyuan stared at Feng Wuyou for a while; she was Princess Jiuyou, with a status even more prestigious than that of a princess of the Royal Family.
