Sister, you traveled through time too?

Tang Xiaoyu smiled even more deeply, pretending not to hear the sarcasm in his words.

"Of course not. The general is a distinguished guest and should be treated with courtesy." She said softly with a smile.

Xia Jie looked at her, but he didn't feel any dissatisfaction in his heart.

"Cuizhi, go and serve the meal. The general must be hungry after waiting for so long." Xiaoyu ordered.

He then took Xia Jie to the Yushan Pavilion, which was used to receive distinguished guests.

The delicious food was served, Xiaoyu ate in an orderly manner, while Xia Jie watched quietly while eating.

His Highness likes spicy food, hates ginger and radish, is not restrained when eating, and his eyes become happy when he eats his favorite food.

Not as dignified as rumored, nor as high and mighty as rumored.

But this kind of prince made him feel very real and very... cute.

"General, have you found the bandit last night?" Xiaoyu asked calmly, peeling grapes slowly, the crystal juice staining her slender white fingertips.

Xia Jie looked at her hand, came back to his senses when he heard the question, and then coughed lightly to calm himself.

"This Yitiaohe has been very rampant in recent years. The Patrol has been investigating for a long time but has made no progress. There are also many rumors about him in the Imperial City, with mixed reviews."

"He committed crimes many times, often stealing treasures from the homes of dignitaries. It was rumored that whenever a dignitary's home was robbed, gold, silver and treasures would appear in front of some charity offices, with their names left on a river as offerings."

"This person is highly skilled in martial arts, especially Qinggong, and is extremely mysterious. I guess he must be hiding in the imperial city, but the government has been unable to track him down."

Xia Jie said.

Tang Xiaoyu thought this river was very interesting. If the rumors were true, then this river could be said to be robbing the rich and helping the poor, enforcing justice.

"Then why did he steal your cat? Do you have a grudge against anyone?" Tang Xiaoyu asked curiously.

"I have never liked making friends with others, and I never offend anyone easily, so I am also very confused as to why he came to my house to steal my blackie." Xia Jie said with a bad look on his face.

He was shocked to think that his general's mansion was broken into by a thief and his black pieces were actually stolen!

It's really embarrassing.

Heizi listened to them talking about last night and meowed angrily to express his dissatisfaction.

Heizi: “Meow meow meow! Meow meow! Meow meow meow!” (You really bullied the cat too much. I was still chewing on dried fish when I was kidnapped! Do you know what dried fish is? I haven’t finished chewing it yet!)

Xiaoyu looked at the man and the cat, both of whom looked very angry, and suddenly found it quite funny.

"I believe the general and the government will find the person responsible." Tang Xiaoyu comforted him seriously.

The two people and the cat were eating and chatting about random things.

【Qiu Shui Ju】

Qiuzhe was having dinner in the room at this time. His Highness came last night, so there were two more dishes than usual.

Jinbao, the servant who was serving the dishes, couldn't help but sigh, these people are really good at changing with the wind.

"Master, when I was getting my meal just now..." Qiuzhe was eating when he heard Jinbao speaking hesitantly.

"Why are you speaking so awkwardly today? Did something happen when you got the meal?" Qiu Zhedun asked amiably.

"I heard that there are guests in the mansion today. His Highness has invited General Xia Jiexia to the mansion." Jin Bao said in a low voice.

After hearing this, Qiuzhe just nodded to indicate that he understood.

Qiu Zhe had heard some rumors about Xia Jie. After all, who wouldn't know about this young general who became famous at a young age and had so many military achievements?

It is rumored that Xia Jie was as tall as a mountain, as strong as a bull, and was brave and fearless in killing the enemies. He was a strong man with a big beard and looked ferocious.

"It must be because General Xia saved the emperor and His Highness during the last disaster. His Highness is grateful and wants to invite the general to a banquet."

Qiuzhe said in his heart.

But why is he so worried?

It is rumored that Xia Jie is as ferocious as Rakshasa, with a green face and fangs. He won't scare Your Highness, right?

Qiuzhe was distracted while eating and ate the whole meal absent-mindedly.

Jin Bao immediately regretted his decision. He should have waited until the young master finished his meal before talking to him.

"Woo woo, the young master must be jealous. He can't even eat. It's all my fault for being so talkative at this time." Jin Bao thought to himself, frowning in regret.

Well, the master and servant never thought of going together.

Qiuzhe finished his meal in a hurry. He couldn't read the account book or the medical book.

He paced back and forth in the room with a book in his hand, looking confused.

Jinbao just thought that the young master was extremely anxious. Woohoo, his poor young master, was he going to fall out of favor again after just being favored?

"Should I go and see His Highness secretly? I'm afraid that General Xia is so fierce that His Highness will be scared." Qiu Zhe thought to himself, completely immersed in the rumors about the terrifying deeds and descriptions of Xia Jie.

Under Jin Bao's distressed and worried gaze, Qiu Zhe seemed to have made up his mind.

"Jinbao, let's go and see His Highness!" Qiuzhe said.

He secretly encouraged himself and comforted himself that it was okay. He was not afraid even if it was really the evil god Rakshasa. As long as His Highness was okay, it would be fine.

Jinbao was so quick that he secretly wiped away his tears with excitement.

Oh yeah!

His son finally knew how to compete for favor? Was he going to kill himself in front of General Xia now?

Well done, young man, you finally know how to show off your face in front of His Highness.

"Wow, I'm so touched. The young master finally got it." Jin Bao's inner drama was so rich that he didn't even notice Qiu Zhe's somewhat timid look.

At this moment, Xiaoyu was fishing with Xia Jie in a good mood.

It is now the season when the perch are fat in the Yuxi Pond in the back mountain of the Princess's Mansion. The two of them, each holding a fishing rod, sit by the pond and fish.

Xiao Heizi stamped his feet anxiously.

“Meow! Meow! Meow!” (Is this possible? Is this possible? Why can’t I catch any fish after so long?)

It saw fish splashing in the pond. It thought that its master and his highness were too useless. How come they couldn't catch even one?

Xia Jie was very patient and was not in a hurry even when there were no fish to take. As a general, you should have your mind full of worries and not be impatient about anything.

He looked at the princess who was eager to jump down to catch the fish, and Heizi who was stamping his feet anxiously beside him, and smiled helplessly.

At this time, the fishing rod moved.

"Took the bait."

Finally, General Xia caught the first fish of the day.

"Wow! Is this fish a snob? It knows that the general is a distinguished guest and it specifically bumps into the general's fishhook." The little fish said with a smile and ran over to look at the fat little fish.

"Hahaha, Your Highness, this is really embarrassing for me. I guess Your Highness is not concentrating on fishing and is trying to give in to me." Xia Ji said with a hearty smile.

The two of them smiled at each other, only Heizi was still cursing.

Heizi: "Meow? Meow! Meow?" (You won't give it to me? Stop talking, stop talking! I'm dying of greed, can't you see?)

Cuizhi and Cuiling were holding fishing baskets and smiling at each other.

Eyes were gossiping back and forth.

"Don't you think General Xia is a good match for His Highness?" Cui Ling whispered in Cui Zhi's ear, looking as if she had been touched.

Cuizhi looked at her own prince, then at General Xia, and immediately gave a thumbs up and nodded silently in agreement.

So the two of them stayed beside His Highness with an auntie smile on their faces, and looked like they had bumped into something from time to time.

Not far away, Chun Ke, who was standing guard with a sword in his hand, heard these words and looked at Xia Jie deeply.

He had been guarding His Highness like a transparent man the entire day today, and the more he looked at Xia Jie, the more unhappy he felt.

Only him? Is he worthy of His Highness?

Chun Ke secretly complained in his heart, thinking that Cuizhi and Cuiling might have eye disease.

And Du Weizhi was thinking:

"General Xia is okay, but as long as my prince likes him, that's fine. At worst, I can just kidnap him back."

The more Cuizhi thought about it, the more feasible it seemed to her.

Xia Jie was fishing when he sneezed for no apparent reason.

Xia Jie: Hmm? Why do I feel a chill on my back?
