Chapter 574: Chapter 574: Young Master Unmatched in the World

Zhan Lan stared at the Silver-faced Fox, “The person I sent wasn’t as handsome as you, but got into the Princess Mansion through talent. You are not only handsome but also talented, and will surely earn Princess Anyang’s appreciation.”

Most people like to be praised, and the Silver-faced Fox was no exception.

Zhan Lan continued, “The location is Wangyue Building, sometimes Princess Anyang goes there at sunset, sometimes to compose poetry, sometimes to enjoy tea and the view.”

The Silver-faced Fox nodded, “I’ll give it a try, but if she doesn’t take a fancy to me, I won’t refund Silver.”

Zhan Lan nodded, “Naturally, the contact code between you and the person I sent is: Do you serve the bed tonight? You just reply: I only sell my art, not my body.”

The Silver-faced Fox scratched his head, “What kind of ridiculous code is this.”

Zhan Lan raised an eyebrow, “This code fits a courtesan best, otherwise it would reveal everything.”

The Silver-faced Fox gave a carefree smile and left Zhan Lan’s room.

He returned to his own room, gritting his teeth, “Zhan Lan, since when has this young master been manipulated like this!”

But when he thought about Zhan Lan knowing his Master, and the two still being friends, he immediately restrained his emotions.

That incident back then caused a rift between him and his Master, he shook his head, dismissing the past, and decided to first complete Zhan Lan’s task!

…

The two arrived at Wangyue Building, the tea house was elegantly furnished, with both scholars and travelers from the martial world resting here.

Zhan Lan, wearing a veiled hat, looked at the scenery outside the window, while also checking on how the Silver-faced Fox’s affairs were progressing.

At sunset, Princess Anyang, surrounded by attendants, entered Wangyue Building, and through the slit of her veiled hat, Zhan Lan saw her clad in a dazzling red fox fur coat, with luxurious winter garments underneath.

Her phoenix eyes seemed to hold a spring’s pool, her lips full, her nose straight and prominent, with an oval face, and her steps elegant as she walked, Zhan Lan felt that Princess Anyang’s beauty was indeed captivating.

That striking, vivid beauty was unforgettable at a glance.

Zhan Lan retracted her gaze and continued to look at the scenery outside the window, when Princess Anyang passed by her side, she caught a faint scent.

Zhan Lan cautiously held her breath.

Princess Anyang covered the dozen or so steps to the private room, attracting everyone’s attention along the way.

The Silver-faced Fox sat alone at the table, sipping tea, occasionally glancing at Zhan Lan, secretly thinking: He’s really boarded Zhan Lan’s pirate ship, and now he can’t get off.

His gaze never once focused on Princess Anyang, his eyes downcast as he drank his tea.

Princess Anyang’s beautiful eyes swept over the crowd, her gaze paused for a moment on Zhan Lan, thinking that this person had an excellent demeanor.

After surveying the surroundings, her gaze fell on the Silver-faced Fox.

The Silver-faced Fox, looking absent-minded as he sipped his tea, watched her glance at his handsome face and unrestrained posture.

Through the corner of his eye, the Silver-faced Fox noticed Princess Anyang’s gaze, realizing that even without fully revealing his true self, it was enough to captivate this romantic princess.

He raised his eyes to meet Princess Anyang’s, only for her to look away in an instant, her gaze landing on Zhan Lan.

The Silver-faced Fox’s lips twitched, it seemed he wouldn’t have to go to the Princess Mansion as a courtesan, Princess Anyang seemed to have taken a liking to Zhan Lan!

Inside there was a warm furnace, Zhan Lan, in a blue cloak, stood at the window, completely unaware of Princess Anyang’s gaze behind her.

Princess Anyang saw that person just standing at the window, having only glanced at her once before retracting her gaze.

Her slender jade fingers unfastened the red coat, which a maid immediately received.

“Go ask him to come see this princess.” Princess Anyang pointed her finger at Zhan Lan.

Zhan Lan was waiting for the Silver-faced Fox to attract Princess Anyang, who would have thought she suddenly noticed a trace of powdery fragrance, and the maid behind her smiled and said, “Young Master, Princess Anyang invites you over for a chat.”

Princess Anyang invites her for a chat?

Zhan Lan’s lips twitched, not far away the Silver-faced Fox, upon hearing Princess Anyang’s maid’s words, struggled to suppress his laughter.

He called it, Zhan Lan was targeted by Princess Anyang.

After disguising, Zhan Lan took the medicine given by the Silver-faced Fox to make her voice deeper, she looked at the maid and replied, “May I not go?”

The maid’s expression turned colder, “In Eastern Wei, no one dares refuse Princess Anyang’s invitation.”

Zhan Lan admitted defeat, since the Silver-faced Fox wasn’t chosen by Princess Anyang, she would go to the Princess Mansion herself!

Zhan Lan made a gesture of invitation, the maid proudly lead the way, lifting the screen curtain, guiding Zhan Lan into the private room.

Zhan Lan cupped her hands at Princess Anyang, who curled her red lips, “Your demeanor is extraordinary, may I ask your name?”

Zhan Lan nodded, “The princess can call me Mr. Lan, like the blue of the sky.”

“Mr. Lan, are you from Cheng’an City?” Princess Anyang leaned on the chair back and inquired.

“No, I’m just traveling around with my good brother, happening to pass by Wangyue Building and heard the landscape here is very beautiful, so I came to enjoy tea and admire the scenery,” Zhan Lan said evenly.

Princess Anyang looked up and down at the elegant young man standing across, though he wore a veiled hat, a person’s aura cannot be concealed.

She laughed and asked, “Why do you not show your true face and wear a veiled hat?”

Zhan Lan, with one hand behind her back said, “I’m afraid of the cold.”

Princess Anyang burst into laughter, this person seemed aloof, but turned out to truly be cold.

She lost her composure, gently coughed with a handkerchief, her two maids behind her also stopped laughing, they had not seen their princess genuinely laugh in a while.

Zhan Lan stood there awkwardly, noticing a chair behind her, she sat down self-assuredly.

“Such audacity, the princess didn’t offer a seat yet you sat down!” Princess Anyang’s maid chided Zhan Lan.

Sitting in the chair, Zhan Lan said, “Aren’t chairs meant to be sat on? Since the princess invited me for a chat, she surely wouldn’t let someone stand the whole time.”

Princess Anyang was even more curious about the face beneath the veiled hat, this person seemed to lack understanding of etiquette but wasn’t intimidated by her noble status, speaking candidly with neither arrogance nor servility, each word spoken from the heart.

She hadn’t met someone this interesting in ages.

“Do not be rude to honored guests!” Princess Anyang gave a glance, silencing the maid behind her.

Zhan Lan, imitating a man’s posture, sat with her legs apart, arms naturally draped over the chair.

“What does the princess wish to discuss with me, I’m not much of a talker, perhaps swap places with my brother instead!”

Princess Anyang frowned, did this person so dislike staying with her?

Or was he playing hard to get?

Princess Anyang suddenly felt it was boring, she was about to say go on, call your brother here to rile him up.

Unexpectedly, a gust of wind outside lifted the silken side of Zhan Lan’s veiled hat.

Princess Anyang saw a face of unparalleled handsomeness, that visage crashed into her line of sight, the young man’s black hair gleaming like silk flowing with the wind, a smooth, fair face with chiseled coldness, sword-like eyebrows, eyes like stars, a straight nose, perfect lips, all exuding nobility.

Princess Anyang felt her heartbeat gradually quicken.

With a vigorous disposition, refreshing elegance, dragon-like grace, phoenix-like charm, naturally noble, a man like jade, a peerless young lord…
