"I do!"
Tang Ningshuang looked at the young man farther back and said, "His name is Li Jingxing. He's... the Elder Princess's fiancé!"
"Oh?"
Jiang Xiaobai raised his eyebrows slightly.
Xiao Jinxuan had two daughters in all.
He had already met the Little Princess, Xiao Zijing, quite a few times.

Tang Ningshuang continued, "And the Li Family commands an army of three hundred thousand!"
She paused before adding, "Although they're somewhat behind your Jiang Family, their influence in the Imperial Court and the military is still considerable!"

Had he not returned this time, Jiang Xiaobai probably still wouldn't have known him!
As these thoughts ran through his mind, Xiao Qingxiu and Li Jingxing walked toward them.
