Xie Xuanchen just smiled slightly as he said, “Go back and ask your aunt and grandfather who Xie Xuanchen is.”
Xiao Siyi was shocked when she heard him claiming to be Xie Xuanchen. Seeing that nobody in her immediate area was acting strangely hearing his claim and Ye Luyan’s expression also suggested that he already knew this person’s identity, Xiao Siyi finally dared to believe that this handsome man in front of her was none other than Xie Xuanchen, the King of Qiyang.

In a blink of an eye, Xie Xuanchen reached Mu Mingtang’s side. He noticed that Xiao Siyi was still giving him that repulsive look. He immediately asked with his eyebrows raised, “Still watching?”
Xie Xuanchen didn’t intend to humiliate Xiao Siyi too much because she was a woman. If she were a man, he would have shown with his actions what happened when someone stared at him like that.
Xiao Siyi was so frightened by Xie Xuanchen’s icy eyes, that she quickly withdrew her gaze.
In Beirong, Xie Xuanchen had a thunderous reputation. Ever since she was a child, Xiao Siyi had heard her family discuss Xie Xuanchen’s heroic deeds.
Her aunt, who was always running to win, would tremble whenever Xie Xuanchen was mentioned. In this situation, Xiao Siyi’s fear of Xie Xuanchen was only natural. She felt that if she continued to stare at him, Xie Xuanchen would undoubtedly do something like poking her eyes out.
Xiao Siyi turned her head away and lowered her gaze. Ye Luyan quickly tried to calm the situation to reduce the tension: “Tongtong is my cousin and soon-to-be wife. She has never been to the Central Plains and is young and naive. She is unaware of Han culture’s customs and etiquettes. She might have accidentally offended you. Prince An and Princess An, please forgive her.”
[TL Notes: Zhongyuan, also referred to as the Central Plains region, is where Chinese civilization began, and is situated along the lower Yellow River. Henan, southern Hebei, southern Shanxi, and western Shandong provinces that make up the current Central Plain have historically been in the centre of China’s political, economic, and cultural development.]
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOn the Lantern Festival day, Ye Luyan had sneaked into the capital to spy on the Ye Dynasty, and by accident, he had spotted Xie Xuanchen. Ye Luyan had personally seen how Xie Xuanchen was able to take down a dozen strongmen all by himself without so much as leaving a particle of dust on his clothing.
At that time, Ye Luyan understood that using troops to destroy the Ye Dynasty would fail. He reported the incident with utmost honesty as soon as he got back to Beirong. After discussing it with Empress Dowager Xiao for a few days, the Emperor of Beirong ultimately chose to negotiate peace with the Ye Dynasty.
Because Ye Luyan brought the news back, his father, the Emperor of Beirong entrusted the peace negotiation to him.
Therefore, Ye Luyan could clearly remember the faces of Xie Xuanchne and Mu Mingtang, especially Mu Mingtang’s, so he recognised her at the first glance.
This was the person who followed Xie Xuanchen on the Lantern Festival day. After Ye Luyan inquired about it, he found out that Xie Xuanchen had changed his title and became Prince An, and the woman next to him was his wife, Princess An. And it was also why he greeted Mu Mingtang first after recognising her.
