With the last of her needles on Zhuang Li's wrist, she turned around and began to disinfect her tools. Zhuang Li bit her lip with a hissing sound, got up, and went next door to see Miss Worrows tattooed Ge Ya.

???? She looked at her wrist, which was still black, and thought that tattoos were not as painful as she had imagined.

???? It had been seven years since she and Ge Ya had first met.

???? Seven years!

???? Her every move and gesture exuded her extreme grace and charisma. She was still the little princess of West Cold who was doted on by the old king, and there were probably many people proposing marriage from the Fanbo City's entrance all the way to the borders of the Eastern Great Phoenix Dynasty. However, she didn't even spare a glance for the other party, as she came from the city lord to the prince, or some distant king. However, she didn't seem to be in a hurry at all as she wandered around the layers of gifts placed in the center of the hall by the King Xiao's Palace, while letting out a bitter sigh.

"Another gift? "I can't even pile up my storehouse ~ Lil 'Li, just stack it up and go to your room."

Zhuang Li looked around with her eyes, the box was covered with family inscriptions, the 6th Prince of the Da Wan Country sent them back to the King of the Uighurs, and the Mongolian officials sent them back to him alone …

She shook her head. "No, my room can't be stacked."

Ge Ya nodded thoughtfully. "Then let's go tattoo."

He didn't know where Ge Ya had learned her skipping personality from …

Zhuang Li had already agreed to give it a try and went to find Qing You. When Qing You heard about tattoos, she was scared to death. She refused to go with them no matter what, and the final result was that Zhuang Li and Ge Ya walked towards the Shouluo sisters' shop at Fanbo City best, arm in arm.

Speaking of the Moon Sisters, they were both charming twins. Their elder sister was called Wangroga and their younger sister was called Grandma Wangluo. The two of them ran the tattoo salon the wall. Zhuang Li was dumbstruck. Ge Ya had already chosen the tattoo pattern.

Both of them held a Devil's Snare tattoo on their wrists. It looked exactly the same as a bracelet. Zhuang Li raised her hands and looked around.

Very good, very satisfied.

On the other side, Ge Ya's tattoo had also been completed. She was no different from Zhuang Li. The two of them looked at each other and laughed dumbly.

Just like the tattoos of Zhuang Li and Ge Ya, the two sisters, Laura and Moon, had appeared behind them.

"Your Highness, are you satisfied with our service?" they asked in unison.

"Satisfied?"

"Then give me the money ~"

"?"

For the past seven years, Zhuang Li had gradually grown from a thin and small child to a slender and slender young girl. The most amazing thing was that Zhao Ci was almost nowhere to be seen on her body, her eyes were opened, her forehead was full, and even her cheeks, which used to be scrawny and mischievous, were now covered by two pieces of flesh. Frankly speaking, she was still a bit beautiful, just like Ge Ya, who had fallen in love with the purple veil.

The two of them were still riding on the little pony back then, and now they are the strong horses that just entered the young generation. Ge Ya's suffering finally made the king give her the little pony, and Ge Ya was so happy that she asked Zhuang Li to give it a name. Zhuang Li thought about it and decided that the little pony would go to the depths of the prairie in the middle of the night, and just like a godly horse, she started to call it 'Little White Dragon'. Although it was black.

That horse was also picky and still extremely aggressive. Other than Ge Ya and Zhuang Li, no one else was allowed to touch it. It was just like a proud and pampered white dragon.

As the two of them rode their horses back towards the King Xiao's Palace, Zhuang Li listened to Ge Ya talk about the interesting things that happened in the King's Palace today.

With so many people proposing marriage, Ge Ya should not have been sensible, and he also did not know where to go. There were piles of proposing marriage papers on the table, he despised them because their country was too far away, he despised them because their country was too small, the one on the left said that they were too old, and the other felt that they were too young. In the end, he just didn't want to marry Ge Ya.

Ge Ya was also happy to be free. Every day, she would act like she was watching a joke as she watched the people coming to the mansion to propose marriage. When she met someone she wanted to tease, she even made Zhuang Li put on a mask and pretend that she was going to meet them. The two of them were like living treasures that filled Xiao Imperial Palace with laughter.

And in these few months, other than the matter of proposing, there was another important matter that was about to happen on West Cold.

That was the tribute.

King of West Cold controlled the vast lands of the Western Regions. Although the land was vast and sparsely populated, there were more than 180 large cities. There were also countless nearby small nations seeking West Cold for protection. Every year, their West Cold would be like the tribute of the Great Phoenix, but in the past few years, their nation's strength had become even more powerful, and there were more countries like the tribute of West Cold. Furthermore, every year, the city lord of one hundred and eighty cities in West Cold would pay tribute to the capital of West Cold, the royal family of Fanbo City. Ambassadors from various cities will also come to pay their tribute and stay to attend King of West Cold's birthday party not long after.

The tribute team plus the King's Birthday was the busiest holiday in the entire year in West Cold Country. Although they had been preparing for it several months earlier, they were still short on time.

As an adult princess, Ge Ya had also started to help share in the details of the celebration, arranging banquets, buying flowers, and other things. As an adult princess, Ge Ya had also started to help share the details of the celebration, arranging banquets, buying flowers, and other things.

Fortunately, Zhuang Li had such a meticulous helper. Not only was she adept at aesthetic decorations, she also knew how to be meticulous in her planning. Although the royal family didn't need her to save money, she couldn't get rid of this habit.

"I think no matter what, father will give you a City Lord's reward this time. How come your banquet arrangement is so much less than before?" Returning to the Xiao Imperial Palace, Ge Ya picked up Zhuang Li's abacus and flipped through it.

"Isn't that because you're stupid?" Zhuang Li's words had hit the nail on the head. While writing down the final prices for the flowers and spices, she handed them over to Ge Ya.

"When you see the king tomorrow, report this to the treasury and instruct people to arrange it. It's very close to the state banquet, and the tribute procession is already on the way. There are still a lot of things to do.

Ge Ya was like a primary school student who had already finished her homework after receiving her schoolmate. She happily kissed Zhuang Li and then rolled up the field's parchment as if she was a treasure.

Zhuang Li called Qing You over and hurriedly put away the gift box that was given to the princess of West Cold. She also went to prepare some fresh flowers.

Ge Ya had been carelessly playing with people like her all day, but actually, she already had a lover in her heart. The son of a small city lord who came to Fanbo City with a tribute team two years ago, with such an inconspicuous identity, didn't even have the qualifications to propose marriage to Ge Ya. Zhuang Li had asked Ge Ya once, and had guessed that someone had stolen away Ge Ya's first love.

Although the Western Regions lived far more carefree and open-minded than the Great Phoenix, and their marriage policy was also more open, they still had to listen to the arrangements made by the King. The King had once asked Ge Ya whether this prince liked it or not. The king also sighed with a pampering sigh and said, "It's all right, my child. Choose slowly." But Zhuang Li knew that no matter how much she chose, the king would never agree to let Ge Ya marry to the youngest son of a city lord of her own country. The king was reluctant to marry Ge Ya this year, and he was also reluctant to marry Ge Ya next year. However, one day, Ge Ya would still be married off.

In the Western Regions, a girl who hadn't even married at the age of twenty was already an old maid.

Ge Ya couldn't care less at the moment. All she knew was that the envoys from the various cities were coming, and her sweetheart was coming as well. Every day, her body would be like a little bird in a cage, chirping non-stop. Zhuang Li naturally knew what she was happy about. Since Ge Ya didn't say anything, Zhuang Li also didn't say anything. The two of them occasionally glanced at each other with a smile, and they were well aware of each other's situation.

Therefore, every day, Ge Ya would focus on her beautiful dreams. Zhuang Li would secretly help her deal with the other matters that Ge Ya was responsible for during the national banquet. Fortunately, Qing You was also obedient and smart, and was able to help out a lot, but she still treated Zhuang Li with care, even though she loved to play sometimes. But which teenage girl didn't like to play?

Zhuang Li wasn't worried about Qing You's dowry right now. If Qing You took a fancy to a man who wanted to marry, she would definitely let her marry to the best of her abilities.

And there was still one more person in the Fanbo City now. Ge Ya's heart was busier than anyone else, busier than Zhuang Li's worry.

It was Xi Cuo.

Xi Cuo was already twenty years old this year, and he was already a tall and handsome prince, as if he had come from a fairy tale. He is honest in character and reliable in his work. At the age of sixteen, he was sent by the king to visit the cities and countries. Even though Eldest Prince always fought on the battlefield and led the way, Xi Cuo's task was not any easier than his. Now that the national banquet was about to begin, he was in charge of the security of the Fanbo City and received the envoys. It had also been half a month since he had come to the Xiao Imperial Palace. This made Zhuang Li heave a sigh of relief.

Because Xi Cuo liked Zhuang Li.

Although she had never properly been in a relationship before, in her heart, she was more mature than anyone else. The more mature she was, the more she would worry about it, in the end, not knowing where she should go from this era to this era. No matter from what angle, she didn't have the will to fall in love, let alone marry and have children with Zhao Ci's body.
