Listen to my heart in the morning and eat melons in the afternoon.

Tian Xingjian and Lin Yunzhi were eating watermelon when a bailiff came in and said that the fifth prince had arrived.

Tian Xingjian hadn’t had breakfast yet, and he actually didn’t want to meet this top-notch fifth prince.

Today’s news made the Tian family realize what the royal family’s extravagance and debauchery are like.

Tian Xingjian didn't want to waste time talking to the Fifth Prince, so he asked the bailiff to take the Fifth Prince to the side hall of the government office first, and then helped Lin Yunzhi to have breakfast.

Ruozhu saw Lin Yunzhi go to the main hall and quickly took the stool away.

When Tian Xiaoxiao heard Daju talking about the fifth prince's home, she quickly called Ade: "Ade, Ade, come and help me comb my hair."

Ade had just finished eating melon. She was a maid who had never been to school and only knew one official, Tian Xingjian. She had never expected that the prince's life was so extravagant and disgusting.

But she couldn't show it in front of Tian Xiaoxiao.

"Ade, just help me braid two braids today, it doesn't have to be too complicated. I feel like I can't breathe with a bun on my head." Tian Xiaoxiao shook Ade's sleeve, her eyes smiling into two crescent moons.

Ade could never bear Tian Xiaoxiao's pleading, so she quickly helped Tian Xiaoxiao braid two pigtails.

After putting on her clothes, Tian Xiaoxiao skipped to the main hall.

Only Tian Xingjian and Lin Yunzhi were there. They didn't pick up their chopsticks and seemed to be waiting for her.

"Dad, Mom, good morning!" Tian Xiaoxiao would always greet her parents good morning every day.

Lin Yunzhi patted the stool beside him and said, "Xiaoxiao, come sit next to mother."

"Mom, why don't I see my brothers and sisters today?" In the past, they didn't have to go to school so early.

"They have a test today, so they went early. Let them bring food and you don't have to worry about them. This is the big bone porridge cooked in the kitchen. You should eat more." Lin Yunzhi helped Tian Xiaoxiao serve a bowl of big bone porridge and picked out the chopped green onions and minced ginger for her.

It feels so good to be spoiled. Tian Xiaoxiao gave Lin Yunzhi a dependent expression in response: "Mom, you are the best."

"Xiaoxiao, this is hibiscus pastry. It is said to be the most delicious folk snack in Shengjing. You should try it." Tian Xingjian placed a plate of hibiscus pastry in front of Tian Xiaoxiao.

"Daddy is the best too. Xiaoxiao loves you guys."

Tian Xingjian's heart, as an old father, would beat fast every time Tian Xiaoxiao coaxed him.

Souls from higher civilizations are really much better than them at expressing likes and dislikes.

Ever since Tian Lele was taught the rules, he no longer has the childlike innocence like Tian Xiaoxiao.

It seems that there are some rules, but it’s better not to use them.

"Ruozhu, Ade, you two should sit down and eat together. You have been busy all morning, so sit down and take a break." Lin Yunzhi spoke.

Ruozhu and Ade did not refuse. They sat down, served themselves the porridge and started eating.

Nangong Xu was getting a little impatient waiting at the government office. It had always been others who were waiting for him, and no one had ever dared to leave him aside like this.

But when he thought of what his father had told him, that whoever gets the emperor's order will rule the world, he had no choice but to swallow his anger.

When he ascended the throne, the first person he wanted to kill was Tian Xingjian, for daring to let him sit here and do nothing.

After about two incense sticks of time, Tian Xingjian slowly walked into the side hall.

Nangong Xu's maid saw Tian Xingjian and shouted, "Who are you? How dare you enter the Fifth Prince's resting place without notifying him?"

Tian Xingjian looked at the maid. She was a pretty girl, but she had a bad temper and a bad look.

However, he did not pay any attention to the maid, nor did he greet Nangong Xu.

Instead, he shouted loudly: "Come here, put these people pretending to be the fifth prince into jail and bring them to trial on a later date."

When the bailiffs heard this, they were overjoyed and were ready to arrest the man.

Nangong Xu then spoke up: "How dare you! I am the fifth prince of the dynasty. If anyone dares to move, I will make him lose his head."

"You said you were the fifth prince. Are you the fifth prince? The fifth prince is in Xijing, which is 1,500 miles away from here. We have not received any news of the prince leaving the capital. I must find out clearly before I can give an explanation to His Majesty."

Tian Xingjian has power and army, so he is not afraid of a prince.

"Are you the Shengjing prefect Tian Xingjian? I thought you should be a young official, but I didn't expect you to be an old man." The sarcastic voice of the maid sounded particularly harsh.

Tian Xingjian worked non-stop for two days in Mengluo Town, and then rushed back at full speed. He only rested for half a night. He looked very tired and had not even had time to trim his beard.

"Take down this maid who spoke rudely and give her fifty slaps on the face." Tian Xingjian sat upright and gave the order.

"I am the head maidservant of the Fifth Prince. You have no right to slap me in the face." The maid was still struggling.

"I am the governor of Shengjing, a third-rank official, appointed by the emperor himself. How can I not punish you for your crime of treason? Does it mean that the door of the court's laws is only open to you?" Tian Xingjian was actually quite good at arguing, but he didn't speak easily.

After eating melon with Tian Xiaoxiao this morning, he thought that weird people need to be treated with weird methods.

Tian Xiaoxiao also came to the side hall at this time, but she was still behind the door.

The maid had been restrained by the bailiffs and was slapped hard.

These yamen runners were all skilled fighters, and in a short while, the maid's face was swollen like a pig's head.

Tian Xiaoxiao: [This maid, would you like to be the fifth prince's spittoon in the morning and eat the spittoon he spits out? ]

Daju: [Looking at her boastful look, she must have eaten a lot, otherwise how could she become as domineering as the fifth prince! ]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [How disgusting! Being a spittoon, you think you are superior to others.]

The bailiffs said: My lady, it is not appropriate to eat this kind of melon after just having breakfast, right?

Daju: [Look, the fifth prince never brings a male guard with him when he goes out.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [He is so bold, he doesn't need male guards to protect him? Outside of Xijing, who would recognize him as the fifth prince? By the way, is it possible that he is a fake fifth prince? ]

Daju: [It is very possible. After all, we have never seen the real Fifth Prince. You can't just let someone come and say he is a royal relative and then Sir Tian has to believe him, right? ]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [That’s right, I think my father should lock him up first, and then write to Xijing to find out.]

Daju: [Lock him up first, and it won’t be too late to release him after verification. The Fifth Prince is going to his fiefdom, and Shengjing is not the only way to go. I’m not afraid of him. ]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [He took a long detour to come here, he must have some unspeakable secret, my father has to be on guard against him.]

Daju: [Your father must have been prepared for this. ]

Nangong Xu looked at Tian Xingjian, but Tian Xingjian remained unmoved.

The two voices discussing him came from behind the door. He wanted to go and see for himself. Whoever dared to discuss the prince without permission would be killed.

Tian Xiaoxiao: [This fifth prince traveled nearly a thousand miles from Shengjing to Jiangdong. What do you think he wants?]
