Though they kept looking back at her, the men never dared to approach. It might be because of the cold aura she was exuding, her face elegant yet expressionless. Or, it might be due to fright of the gentleman behind her who was glaring at all the men in the area with killing intent. Even with a mask on, his eyes looked to be able to kill. Not to mention, his mask looked to be made entirely of gold. No one would be stupid enough to mess with a man who was so rich unless they had an equal amount of wealth or more in their pockets. Even if gold wasn't the most valuable mineral in this world, it was still expensive and was a symbol of status. His clothes were also nothing to scoff at. A palish purple robe with a neat strip of black around the edges, where golden thread weaved simple depictions of demonic beasts. It looks simple compared to the extravagant nobility in the Imperial City but it definitely had an imposing air, especially combined with that air and glare.

On the other hand, the one warding off the insects was being looked at by the flowers. The women, in turn, were staring at him with utter infatuation. Who didn't want such a man? A good figure, wealthy and protective of his woman, which can translate to deep devotion. Even here, where inequality is being slowly abolished, it wasn't rare to see a man with more than one wife. Good men must be chosen or else the woman will suffer for the rest of her life. However, the woman beside him were holding them back. She wasn't glaring at them or anything, like her partner per se she didn't even glance at them, but her beauty deterred those that were not extremely confident in her looks. And her elegant dress and hair accessories deterred those that did not have wealth.
The couple one behind the other, as people stopped and stared, even subconsciously clearing a path for them. They first went to Rong Jian's residence, as it would be a bit uncomfortable to go to Lavender Palace dressed like this.
In front of each side of the bronze metal gates of Zhu(1) Wangfu were two guards decked in full armor and holding spears at their sides, a sword strapped to their waist. Next to them were stone lion statues, whose bodies were as smooth as jade. By now, the couple had switched their positions with Rong Jian in the front, as this was his residence, and Shen Tianyu following behind. However, her stance was confident and her chin held up high, looking nothing like some shy woman trying to act cute nor a servant. As soon as the guards caught sight of the two, they simultaneously bowed at the waist, their hands clasped in front of them.
"Welcome back, fourth prince." They uttered at the same time.
The hearts of the woman who had followed them, to try to create an opportunity for themselves as they still had some measure of confidence in front of Shen Tianyu, immediately shattered. Who was the Fourth Prince? Who was the Fourth Prince?! The Fourth Prince was the assistant of the royal family and the Imperial couples' adopted son! Though he may be adopted, he wasn't completely unrelated by blood, as he was actually the Empress's niece before tragedy struck. Now, he was working alongside the Emperor and the three princes to further stabilize and advance this country! No Tom, Dick or Harry would normally even see his figure!(2) And they dared to have the delusion of an opportunity with him?! What a joke!
Facing a similar crisis were the men who had followed them. The two groups had even made an agreement to not touch the other while they were trailing them but it was all for naught. This was a woman brought by the Fourth Prince, okay?! THE Fourth Prince that normally shrugs off women trying to hit on him, including the Prime Minister's daughter! He even had the guards arrest her when she tried to barge in there! There were even rumors going around that he had a problem "down there"! Now he brought a woman home! To his Wangfu, no less! Regardless of the noble background of the woman, the Fourth prince was enough of an obstacle. Even if he didn't rely on Imperial power, he could still crush your entire family! What chance?! What kind of dog liver had they eaten to dare think they had a chance with a woman the Fourth Prince had brought back to his Wangfu?!
Uncaring of the hearts and souls they had just broken, not that they did anything, they stepped past the threshold of the gate and into the Wangfu. Shen Tianyu nodded at the guards as a greeting, not caring if they saw it or not. They were guards after all, they must have honed their senses or they would not have been picked to guard a Prince's residence. So, even if they didn't see, she surmised they could feel the ripple of the air enough to know what she did. She followed him silently along the paths of his residence, looking around with slight curiosity. Her eyes weren't shining but she was curious about how her boyfriend designed his residence. Perhaps she could use it for inspiration for another building if they were to ever build another place for business.
The tiled roofs sparkled under the sunlight and all the structures were well-maintained. No peeling paint and no splinters. It was obvious great care was put into maintaining the place and it wasn't a last-minute rush to impress, like how some people would shove all their laundry in their closet before friends come over so as not to seem dirty.
"I'll personally give you a tour of the place once you've settled down in your room." Rong Jian said over his shoulder as he gazed at her glancing around his residence.
"A guest room?" She questioned casually, not that she minded. She wanted to know just how may guest rooms this residence has with it's size.
