"Truthfully mother, I met her at the Lavender Palace in Nang Zhou." Rong Jian broke it to them. Being royalty, they weren't unaware of what Lavender Palace was behind the scenes, an information broker agency, but they didn't believe the organization would let one of it's agents leave so easily.

One could hear a pin drop within the room, all eyes staring at the couple of youngsters, some wide-eyed, others not.

"Ahem. Well, that's no matter. As long as you like each other than it's fine, mother will give her full support. The only problem would be those old geezers in court." Before Rong Jian could continue after letting the sentence sink in, the Empress voiced her support.

"That's right. I'm not sure it would blow over well with the old geezers. Even though, you are not of direct royal blood, a lot of them want to have their daughters marry you to build a connection since, you are still part of the family." The first prince held his chin in thought.

"Hm...but if it's a royal decree, then they can't do anything, right?" The second prince added.

"They'll still send women over as concubines." The third prince stated with crossed arms.

"Hey, hey. Wait until I finish first." Rong Jian complained with a helpless voice. "I was going to say, though she served at Lavender Palace, I can guarantee her position isn't simply some courtesan or prostitute."

"Huh?" The three young princes questioned him.

"Due to confidentiality decreed of the organization, I am currently not able to tell the royal family my position. However, you guys should be aware that Nang Zhou is currently the headquarters of Lavender Palace." Shen Tianyu interjected.

"You- why didn't you say that earlier?!" The third prince yelled. "If that's so then it's good! If they know about this then the nobility won't have any balls to say anything!" He slapped his thighs as he laughed heartily.

"However, I would like everyone to keep this a secret for now." She immediately threw a bucket of cold water on him.

"Why don't you want it to be known, Yu'er?" Rong Xiaoli asked.

"Just for some precautionary measures. Besides, it's easier to get rid of people trying to covet my husband if they underestimate me." Shen Tianyu replied.

"Hm, if that's what you wish for, then we'll keep the secret for you." The other woman conceded.

"By the way, I haven't been formally introduced to the three princes yet." She switched the topic to a more amiable one.

"Don't you already know them?" Rong Jian whispered beside her.


"That's why I said 'formally', of course I know of them." Shen Tianyu whispered back.

"Oh yes, of course! How could I forget, really. I've gotten more forgetful over the years." The Empress let out a small giggle and indicated to her three sons sitting diagonally from her. "The first one is Kuian Jingguo, the Crown Prince in charge of administering the country and it's politics. The second one is Kuian Mingli, titled as Qiao(1) Wangye, despite how he looks and acts most of the time, he's the founder of this country's largest trade company. The third one sitting at the end is Kuian Zihao, titled Jun(2) Wangye, who is in charge of the military of this country, both maintaining it and leading it if need be."

Shen Tianyu looked questioningly at the second prince, Qiao Wangye and tilted her head. "Mingli(3)?"

At her uttering the man's name, Rong Jian and Jun Wangye started laughing out loud while the Crown Prince was trying, but failing, to hold in his laughter. The subject in question was hiding his face behind a fan he pulled out of his sleeve and trying to swat at his younger brother to make him shut up, to no avail. He then tried to shrink into his seat as much as possible, but as a grown man, it wasn't that easy for him to hide while sitting on a chair.

Honestly, aside from the Crown Prince being praised as being equally as wise as his father, she heard more about the other two princes. Qiao Wangye who, similar to her, had made what would be considered a conglomerate in her former world in just a few years' time. He started his business a little before his older brother was officially crowned and became a renowned businessman just like her. Except he didn't build another force on top of it so in a lot of people's eyes, he's slightly inferior to her. However, in her eyes, they were on equal footing as it was actually easier to enter the sex business in this world as there weren't that many regulations. That was one of the reasons she chose that line of work in the first place. The only detriment to his reputation would be his love of flirting with girls constantly.

On the other end of the spectrum was Jun Wangye. Though there haven't been any wars yet in his time, he's known for being highly skilled in combat and a good trainer of the soldiers on top of being friendly and approachable. The reason his name is so widespread is partly because it's rare to see people like him. Generals, or any person of power within the military, were usually always stoic and serious, to the point people theorized they were born with face paralysis. Such a friendly general was really rarely seen. He also provides the security for his second brother and his business as the soldiers usually don't have much to do except policing around. It was also a good way for them to gain some combat experience which they wouldn't be able to get just training in the barracks all day long. Looking at this, one can see the younger two of the blood brothers are exceptionally close. As for the romantic side of things, he has rejected all confessions of love. No one knows if he already has someone in his heart or is planning to marry for the sake of the country. Seeing that the Emperor and Empress are so close, though, Shen Tianyu is willing to bet that he also wishes to marry for love and have a family like his parents. It's in their blood after all.
