The main street of East District, Beijing, Prince Xiao’s Mansion.

The carriage with the logo of Prince Xiao's Mansion slowly stopped in front of the vermilion gate under the control of the coachman.

The curtain was lifted from the inside, and a smart young man walked out. His features were delicate yet heroic. He was dressed in red, with gentle eyes and eyebrows, and a faint smile on his lips.

"Master Bao, you're back. Someone has come to the mansion. The prince asked you to come back and go to the study in the main courtyard." The guard at the door received a notice from the main courtyard early in the morning. When he saw Xiao Manbao, he immediately told him.

"Someone's coming to the mansion?" Bao Ge'er's almond-shaped eyes flickered. Suppressing his inner excitement and anticipation, he casually asked the other party, "What kind of people are they? How many are here?"

The guards did not find it strange to hear this. Among the younger young masters in the family, except for the youngest master who was not at home all year round, the eldest and second young masters were all of a rather aloof nature. They might ask a question or two except for important matters, but otherwise they would just nod to indicate that they understood.

"He's a scholar, he looks refined and elegant, he doesn't look like someone from the capital, he came alone." The guard said, slapping his forehead. "I almost forgot, that young man came with a token from the prince. He was received after delivering it to the main courtyard."

When Xiao Li returned to Liangzhou when a drought was ravaging the three northern states, Yu Qingshan gave him a bundle before leaving Beijing, saying that Taoist Qingxu had asked him to pass it on to him. In fact, it was something given to him by the old emperor.

Inside was an imperial edict and two tokens, one was pitch black with a cold glow, and the other was pure gold with a coiled dragon carved on it.

The black one is King Xiao's identity token, the golden one is the golden medal of immunity from death, and the imperial edict confers him the title of King Xiao. After three generations of hereditary succession, his title will be demoted, and King Xiao has the privilege of being exempted from the kneeling ceremony.

But neither the old emperor nor Xiao Li was in a hurry to make this matter public.

Not until all the natural disasters in the Zhou Dynasty had passed did the old emperor make Xiao Li's achievements public, and at the same time gave him the royal palace that had been prepared for him long ago.

If you really count, Xiao Li had only been the King of Xiao for a few years. However, even if he did not have this identity, no one in the Great Zhou Dynasty dared to look down on him.

After all, before this, Xiao Li was not only the richest man in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but his youngest son was also the last disciple of the Imperial Master Qingxu Taoist. Even if his eldest and second sons were not accepted as disciples, they were still considered half-disciples. In addition, his eldest son studied with the young prince, which clearly meant that he would be the young prince's right-hand man in the future...

Because of the class changes, even though Xiao Li did not care about any red tape, his status was there, so sometimes he had to adapt to the local customs. After all, he had not yet changed his mind about this feudal dynasty.

Because Xiao Li was named King Xiao, the status of the Xiao family also rose. Especially Bao Ge'er, who is now sixteen years old, has become the first choice for son-in-law in the eyes of the powerful families in the capital.

Baoger is not only beautiful and well-educated, but also gentle and lively. If it weren't for the Xiao family's rule that one cannot get married before the age of eighteen, I'm afraid the threshold of the Xiao Palace would have been trampled down by people proposing marriage.

Baoger has already turned sixteen. His fourth brother had talked to him about marriage not long ago, asking him whether he wanted to marry into a family or start his own business when he was older.

Bao Ge'er told him at the time that he hadn't made up his mind. Actually, it wasn't that he hadn't made up his mind. He wanted to wait for his brother Er Gou to come to Beijing, and then see what he looked like...

Although Brother Ergou was good-looking when he was a child and treated him very well, and he treats him very well now, but I haven't seen him for more than ten years. Who knows if Brother Ergou has grown ugly, right?

He grew up watching the god-like looks of his fourth brother and his fourth brother-in-law. His father and little father were also good-looking, and his three little nephews were all handsome in their own ways. He himself was also outstanding in appearance. How did he develop a personality that was obsessed with looks?

"Okay, I got it. I'll go find Fourth Brother right away." After hearing the guard's words, Baoger nodded with pretended reserve, but his steps were as fast as the wind.

Seeing him so frantic, the guard scratched his head in confusion, "Why is Master Bao so anxious?"
