Just a reminder that I will be away so updates might be a bit delayed on here, but will definitely be posted by the end of the month!

  Xia Yuqing was secretly delighted for two seconds, then promptly faced Lu Rui and shouted: "Lu Rui, come take care of the tea." Thereafter, she abandoned all the dumbstruck eunuchs and palace maids and followed the few into the palace hall.

  "Yuan Er is part of Xue Country?" Xia Yuqing had just sat down, but she curiously stared at the others and asked.

  "Niang Niang, how do you know Yuan Er is part of Xue Country?" Shao Zitang had a face thought it was laughable when he looked at Xia Yuqing’s expression of curiosity. This Ya Tou definitely thinks the dispute between these countries is interesting.

  Having heard his question, Xia Yuqing looked at Shao Zitang and answered: "I saw that from head to toe her entire body was snow white, so I thought Xue Country people were all like that. Is that not the case?"

  Xue = snow

  "……"Without guilt, Xia Yuqing effortlessly defeated Shao Qing.

  "Okay. Actually Ben Gong had been thinking about these past few days when Prince Rui was charged for treason. At that time, he was conspiring with Xue Country? Not long after, Yuan Er appeared in the palace and tried to assassinate His Majesty? This definitely isn’t a coincidence. This is why Ben Gong had an idea that she was from Xue Country." Xia Yuqing looked at Shao Zitang, whose expression looked as if he had just received a blow, and so she felt she had to explain. Who knew that not explaining might have been better. Once she did explain, Shao Zitang was at loss.

  "……" Consort Qing you were just playing with me right? Just poking fun at my IQ?

  Looking at Shao Zitang’s ** face, Xia Yuqing turned her head to look at Feng Tingye: "Did Chen Qie speak wrongly?"

  Feng Tingye smiled softly: "Ai Fei didn’t speak wrongly. Xue Country is covered with snow year round, a vast expanse of whiteness. Even the people who live there tend to be paler than the average person. That assassin was from Xue Country. In fact that Ya Tou wasn’t a typical citizen of Xue Country, she is Xue Country’s emperor’s youngest heir, Xue Country’s Princess Li Yuan."

  Hearing that, Xia Yuqing made a 囧 face for a moment. Did she accidentally expose the truth? This kind of feeling…… was quite mysterious!

  But Yuan Er that Ya Tou was actually a princess, Xue country’s princess!

  "So the enemy Prince Rui was colluding with last time was her?" Xia Yuqing asked curiously. She found it difficult to imagine this sweet child colluding with that hateful Prince Rui to do such alarming things.

  "En, it’s her. Do you remember when Prince Rui’s thing weren’t exposed and Yan Ran met a thief?"

  "The time Gorgeous Tutor shouted until he lost his voice?" Xia Yuqing’s eyes shrinking as she asked.

  If Yan Ran was here, he definitely would have glared at Xia Yuqing and shouted: "I just laughed until my lost my voice. Laughed! I’ve said it so many times, can’t you remember it just once?!"

  Too bad that the people present wouldn’t help him say anything at all. Hearing what Xia Yuqing said, everyone smiled without exception: "That’s right. The time he shouted until he lost his voice."

  "That time we lied and said that the Grand Tutor had met a thief by chance, but it was actually Yan Ran capturing the spies working with Prince Rui. Afterwards, they killed themselves one after another. The ones who didn’t commit suicide then became witnesses against Prince Rui. They also acted as Ye Country’s warning to Xue Country and was sent back as a congratulatory gift. Only this assassin became a fish that escaped the net."

  "So that’s the case." Xia Yuqing nodded her head. In deep thought for a moment, she turned her head to look at Feng Tingye: "Your Majesty, how are you planning on dealing with Yuan Er?"

  "At the time we subdued her, Zhen has already sent a letter to the Xue Emperor to send someone to take this Ya Tou back."

  "You’re just going to let them take her back?" Xia Yuqing was surprised then she looked at Feng Tingye in doubt. She did not believe that Feng Tingye was so kind hearted.

  Feng Tingye could tell what Xia Yuqing was thinking and smiled: "Since the people have come. If they want to take away the person, obviously they would have to pay the right price."

  "……" So you wanted to exchange the person for benefits. As expected, she didn’t misinterpret. This person was the evil capitalist.

  But, since they are letting the person go and not killing Yuan Er, Xia Yuqing felt at ease. After all, she was such an adorable child. Even if she did some rather undue things, but after all is said and done, its somewhat hard to bear for someone who is bursting with maternal love currently.

  After feeling relieved, Xia Yuqing’s mouth didn’t want to be idle anymore. Turning her head she saw that a table not far away had a plate of tangerines. Drooling, she poked at the nearby Leng Ruofeng: "Prime Minister, can you help me grab those tangerines on that table. I want that one. The really red one."

  Hearing Xia Yuqing speak, he froze for a moment. Then turned his head towards the tangerine on his table. Reaching out his hand, he paused, then picked up a random piece that was on the top to give Xia Yuqing.

  "Huh? This one is a little green. Ben Gong wants that one that is red." Taking the greenish yellow, half ripped tangerine, she tilted her head a bit puzzled.

  "Cough…… It’s at the bottom, it’ll spill." Leng Ruofeng lightly coughed explaining.

  Is the iceberg like prime minister trying to explain that the yellow tangerine is at the top and if he tries to pick the other tangerines, it’ll spill?

  Xia Yuqing nodded her head: "En, then pick up that tangerine and it won’t fall. Prime minister help Ben Gong pick the yellow one over." The greenish one is kind of……hard to swallow.

  A crack appeared in Leng Ruofeng’s expressionless face. Turning his head again, he proceeded to look at the plate of tangerines. His gaze icy cold like a sword, it seemed like he wanted to sentence them all to death. With Xia Yuqing’s expectant gaze, he picked up a piece, then not saying anything placed it in Xia Yuqing’s hand.

  Xia Yuqing stared at the tangerine in her hand, speechless: "Prime Minister, this one is still green."

  Leng Ruofeng coldly gave her a glance, inwardly angry: "Sour boy, spicy girl."

  * saying that eating sour things meaning you will have a boy and spicy food will have a girl

  "……" Is the icy prime minister trying to suggest me to eat sour things so I can have a boy? Hey! You can’t bully me this way.

  Xia Yuqing’s inner heart was like a red carpet laid out flat. Recalling that certain someone’s cold eyes, in the end she didn’t have the courage to get Leng Ruofeng to help out again. In silence, she pried open the sour tangerine and placed it inside her mouth.

  "Pu…… sorry. I couldn’t help it." Seeing the interaction between the two, in the end he couldn’t help but let out a lugh. As a result he got a cold sweep that gave him a shiver.

  Xia Yuqing didn’t mind that interlude and seemed to recall something. Breaking off the tangerine skin, she suddenly stopped and lifted her head up to ask the people: "That’s not right. Since this is the case that Yuan Er is Xue Country’s spy, then whose spy is that sweet cute delicate white lotus flower?"

  "Delicate white lotus flower?" Feng Tingye’s eyebrows lifted as he looked at Xia Yuqing.

  "Cough, the female singer from Prince Rui’s reception. I think her name was Jiang Zaojia or was it Jiang Feizao?"

  Zaojia = Chinese honey locust

  Feizao = soap

  "…… Niang Niang, that female singer is called Jiang Zhaorou."

  "Oh, yes! Isn’t that female singer also a spy? If Yuan Er was the Xue Country spy, then which country is she a spy for? One country sending out two spies, that’s not rational!"

  Feng Tingye’s eyes narrowed. Seeing that Xia Yuqing’s eyes cannot help but wanting to enquire more, he said: "Ai Fei, how do you know that female singer is a spy?"

  "Huh?" Xia Yuqing bit down on the tangerine, astonished: "Was that a secret? But the entire palace knows right?"

  "……’ The entire palace knows. Then, why was it that he didn’t even catch any of the rumours. Could it be that big mouth exposed everything?
