Map of the Kingdom's Warfare.

Summary

Empress Xiao visited Yan Wang's residence to check on her grandson, Yang Tan, and assess his studies. She was pleased with his knowledge, leading them to the study for writing practice. Meanwhile, Zhang Xuan, a guard, sought to retrieve his military dagger from the little princess, Yang Ji Er. After locating her hiding in the wisteria, she insisted on going shopping, claiming a previous promise from her mother. Despite Zhang Xuan's concerns about her safety, Empress Xiao permitted the outing, recognizing the princess's desire for freedom.

At the jewelry store, she instructed Zhang Xuan to guard the back door, and unexpectedly attempted to escape through a window.

Zhang Xuan, though frustrated, felt sympathy for her longing for adventure and reluctantly agreed to accompany her on her shopping spree, starting with a stall selling sugar figurines.
