Chapter 1285: Living Together
Princess Chiying was truly stunning, with snowy skin, shimmering eyes, and perfectly arched brows. She was certainly considered a beauty who could captivate a nation.
This was hardly surprising. Emperor Gaozu was remarkably handsome, and his empress was the founder of the Cihang lineage, who was said to be the most beautiful woman of her time. Their son, Emperor Taizong, inherited the strengths of both parents.
Later generations of the imperial family naturally married beauties as well. After generations of marriage between attractive men and women, it was not surprising that the descendants were all striking. Qin Lingge, also from the imperial clan, was praised as the most handsome man in the world.
Thus, Princess Chiying’s beauty was only natural. Yet at Li Changge’s level, physical appearance had become a rather trivial factor. At the very least, Qi Xuansu did not care much about Zhang Yuelu’s looks. Beauty was nice to have, but not a deciding factor. Naturally, Zhang Yuelu regarded Qi Xuansu in the same way.
Princess Chiying clearly remembered Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu. She greeted them first. “Sage Qi, Sage Zhang, have you both been well lately?”
Zhang Yuelu returned the greeting. “All is well.”
Qi Xuansu smiled politely and saluted the princess, then shot Zhang Yuelu a subtle glance.
Since Zhang Yuelu was also a woman, certain questions would sound less abrupt and less offensive coming from her. Zhang Yuelu understood what he meant and asked the princess, “It’s been quite some time since we last met in the Imperial Capital. Have you been well, Your Highness? When did you arrive in Jade Capital?”
“I’m good. I just arrived today,” Princess Chiying replied, her lips curving slightly.
Zhang Yuelu did not beat around the bush. “Your Highness, did you come to see Brother Yong Yan?”
Had Qi Xuansu asked such a question, it would have seemed somewhat impolite. But coming from another woman like Zhang Yuelu, it was acceptable.
Princess Chiying nodded slightly. “Sage Zhang, have you seen Yong Yan?”
