Princess Pingyang possessed an elegance and grace that was simply irresistible, making people yearn to conquer it.
"Chen, the Green Envoy, has a brilliance in both literary and martial arts that I admire," said Pingyang, her pearly teeth lightly tapping together as she spoke in her melodious voice. "I would like to invite the Green Envoy to the palace. What do you think?"
However, Chen Yuan was unmoved, still responding with the same excuse as before.
"If that's how it is, then let it be. I hope that once the Green Envoy is less busy, you will not reject Pingyang's invitation," she said with a light smile.
"Definitely next time."
"I will take my leave."
"Princess, please take care."
Pingyang curtsied slightly, a smile playing on her lips as she left with Sima Ke, heading in the direction of the palace.
As Chen Yuan watched their departing figures, his gaze was primarily fixed on Sima Ke. The graceful figure of the princess at his side failed to distract him.
