Dan Xiaoya asked suspiciously, “Golden Sun Country? Isn’t this Manyi Country?”
“Yes, Master Kongjing of Tian’en Temple in Golden Sun Country is the most famous. The temple is not far from here, just over a hundred li.”
“Prepare yourself. I want to go to Tian’en Temple.”
Xiaolinzi quickly knelt down. “Princess, we cannot leave the palace privately. You should discuss this with His Majesty. Only if His Majesty agrees can we go.”
“Alright! I’ll go talk to him right now.”
Shan Xiaoya gracefully withdrew her hand, waiting to enter An City. Hu Yan Nan did not retract his gaze, still staring at the sedan chair. The city gate guards came to ask if they should let them enter. “If you want to enter, you can only walk into An City. Tell them if they don’t agree, they can turn back.”
The city gate guard returned and shouted at the Man Yi Kingdom’s convoy: “Those who want to enter the city, walk in by yourself, otherwise you can turn back.”
Man Hanting was not surprised, knowing Hu Yan Nan’s hatred towards him. When he was the crown prince, he had once been targeted for assassination, never expecting that it was not him who died, but his wife. Man Hanting’s personal guards, displeased by the order, drew their blades, but were stopped by a voice from inside the sedan chair. “Stand down, I will walk in myself. Announce my order for everyone in the following sedan chairs to get down and walk in.” A unified voice responded: “We obey!” The personal guards simultaneously sheathed their swords and stood respectfully to one side.
A personal guard went to relay the order to the back. After everyone descended from their sedan chairs, nine enchanting women gathered together. Li Fei disdained walking with those low-status dancing girls, slowly following behind them alone. Shan Xiaoya walked confidently behind Man Hanting, observing everything coldly and proudly, as if it had nothing to do with her.
