Xiao Ji and Qin Fengwan each paraded through the Capital City with their concubines and favorite companions, causing a sensation. Those who recognized Xiao Ji said Xiao Ji took his concubine out, and those who recognized Qin Fengwan said Qin Fengwan took his companion out. For those who recognized both...well, they don't believe it!
In any case, no one in the Capital City believes the two of them are truly in love; at most, it's just a Royal Family show.
"All these noble and royal folks have to maintain appearances. They pretend to be close for us common folk; who knows what goes on behind closed doors!"
This is what a shopping eunuch relayed word-for-word to the two.
Qin Fengwan's face turned green.
Xiao Ji's expression was no better. Unwilling to accept this, he said with bravado, "This marquis and the princess had a daughter in the past two years. What do they say about that?"
