"Lord Shen, the road ahead is long and arduous. Here's a cup of wine. May you ride on the wings of a mythical bird and return after a thousand miles."
Amidst the thin mist, the voice of the Sixth Princess echoed. Wrapped in a thick cloak, she sat in a pavilion outside the outskirts of the capital, surrounded by lingering mist. Holding a cup of warm wine, she raised it towards Shen Qi.
Shen Qi's eyes curved slightly as she approached. "I have seen the Sixth Princess."
"No need for formality. Today, we are just friends," the Sixth Princess said, handing a cup of warm wine to Shen Qi. They clinked their glasses, and she handed Shen Qi a small box. "I have a few friends in Qing City. If you need anything, just go find them."
Shen Qi nodded slightly. "While I'm not in the capital, the Sixth Princess should be more cautious."
