Although it was said they would depart, Chen Yi still had breakfast with Lin Xueru and others at the Marquis Mansion before preparing to head to the Imperial City.
Before leaving, he was pulled aside by Chen Taixing to bathe and change clothes.
Servant girls in the mansion arranged his hair into a bun, adorned him with a feather crown, and dressed him in the purple robe signifying his identity as the Martial Lord.
Lin Xueru followed closely the entire time, and when she saw Chen Yi fully dressed, her beautiful eyes sparkled like starlight, exceptionally attractive.
They stood in front of the copper mirror, which illuminated their reflections, appearing as a radiant pair.
"Brother Yi, you look exceptionally heroic in this marquis outfit, but it's a pity..."
Chen Yi adjusted himself before the copper mirror, then turned to her with a teasing tone:
"It's a pity that you couldn't arrange it for me personally, isn't it?"
