  “What happened, sir? “A beautiful woman beside Prime Minister Mu was rubbing his temples with her hands and saw that he frowned and she said doubtfully.

  He reached out and pulled away her hands: “I didn’t know what happened with Mu Chen and Mu Xue, they returned with the master of Tong Bao Zhai, and Prince Xiao is with them as well.”


  The woman’s hands froze and she was a little worried: “What are they trying to do?”


  Because Mu Chen and Mu Xue did not spend the New Year at home, the man was very angry with them. He originally said that he would teach them after they returned. Who knew that such a thing would happen?

  “Don’t know. If there’s something, then we would know when the time comes.”


  “Yes.”


  Five days later, Ning Meng Yao and the rest arrived at the Imperial Capital of Feng Country. When they arrived, the crown prince Feng Shuo of Feng Country was at the door.

  When she saw Feng Shuo, Ning Meng Yao blinked and said, “Brother Nuoran.”


  “You’re here. Let’s go, my father has been waiting for you for a long time.” After receiving the news, he was instructed by his father to let him welcome Xiao Qi Tian and the rest.

  “We meet again.” Xiao Qi Tian smiled at Feng Shuo.

  “Yes. We’ve prepared accommodations. Please.”


  After the Prime Minister Mu knew Mu Chen and the rest had returned, he thought that they would return to the Prime Minister Residence. Who knew that he had entered the palace with His Royal Highness? This made Minister Mu’s face very ugly, but also made him a little worried. What made them so anxious?

  “Greetings to the emperor.” As the prince of Xiao Empire, Xiao Qi Tian bowed to the emperor.

  “Prince Xiao is too polite.”


  “The reason why I came today, I’m sure Your Majesty knew it too right? This is the letter my imperial brother entrusted me to deliver to Your Majesty.”


  Feng Emperor took the letter and saw it. Afterward, his sight landed on Mu Chen.

  “I understand the meaning of Xiao Empire.” Feng Emperor had originally planned to have a political marriage with Xiao Empire, but there was no princess of suitable age there, nor was there one here. So this matter had been delayed.

  He did not think that Xiao Qi Tian’s arrival this time would give him such a pleasant surprise.

  Prince Xiao wanted to marry the prime minister’s daughter.

  “Emperor, I have a business proposal I want to make with Feng Country. Will you be interested?” After discussing that matter, Ning Meng Yao opened her mouth.

  “This is Tong Bao Zhai’s owner? Really a sight to see than to only hear.” Feng Emperor smiled.

  He did not expect that a little girl could do such a big thing and own such a big industry.

  “Yes.”


  “What are you proposing?”


  “I have some relations with the crown prince. Hence, I will only work together with him and the prime minister’s son.”


  Feng Emperor heard this and understood: “Alright. You discuss this yourself.”


  “Yes, imperial father (Your Majesty).”


  “Shuo’er, Prince Xiao and the rest have traveled far, they must be tired. Lead them to rest. Tonight, there will be a welcoming banquet for Prince Xiao.”


  “Yes.”


  Feng Shuo took Xiao Qi Tian and they went to the palace. Feng Shuo reached out and knocked Ning Meng Yao’s head: “You’re pregnant yet still came here from such a far place.”


  “I cannot let Chen and the others be bullied.”


  “Fine. But isn’t there me to protect them?” Feng Shuo raised his eyebrows at Ning Meng Yao.

  The relationship between him and Mu Chen was a subject and a friend, especially Mu Chen as he had been helping him all this time.

  “That’s pretty much the same, but Brother Nuoran, I don’t want Mu Xue and the rest to return to the Prime Minister’s Residence?”


  “It’s impossible for them not to go back, but it’s okay for a few days.”


  “I knew that Brother Nuo Ran had a solution, but the cooperation with Chen is better kept a secret. So those people in the prime minister’s residence won’t have any funny ideas. “Ning Meng Yao snorted coldly.

  “Alright.”


  Qiao Tian Chang glanced at Feng Shuo, and stretched out his hand and held Ning Meng Yao in his arms. “Sitting in the horse cart that long, aren’t you tired?”


  “Tired.” Ning Meng Yao looked at Qiao Tian Chang as if she was wronged.

  “Then go rest.”


  “But I want to go out for a stroll.”


  “Let’s go together.” When Xiao Qi Tian saw Qiao Tian Chang’s slippers, he immediately spoke.

  So everyone went to the Royal Garden together.

  In the garden, they met some official’s daughters. When Mu Xue saw a 13-year-old girl, her eyes became cold. That person was her sister Mu Yu.

  “Ah, it’s the crown prince! Greetings to the crown prince.” When Mu Xue was thinking about leaving, Mu Yu rushed over to see Feng Shuo’s eyes full of infatuation. The look of that idiot made Mu Xue feel shameful and might even lose her hair.
