The princess has super powers and space, so what's wrong with being a little arrogant?

The officials in the capital were not simple-minded. They all watched the wind and saw that several powerful families had sent their wives and daughters to the Princess Xinping's Mansion to present gifts. No one wanted to lag behind. Those with daughters sent their daughters, and those without daughters also sent their wives. For a while, there were people constantly sending gifts to the Princess Mu Xiyue's Mansion, even Prince Rui, Prince Qi, and the Sixth and Seventh Princes sent people to present gifts.

Mu Xiyue only met the guests on the first day, and then asked the housekeeper to say that she had gone out and would not see anyone at the manor. However, Mu Xiyue did go to the manor in the following days.

She also wanted to find a cave in her own farm, maybe she could find some treasure there, but God did not give her such good luck. Not to mention treasure, there was no cave either.

However, the soybeans and sweet potatoes that she asked Old Man Tian to plant were growing very well. She specially picked the leaves of the sweet potatoes and tested them for poison with colloidal gold test paper. The sweet potato leaves turned out to be non-toxic, which was interesting.

It has been three months since the sweet potatoes were planted. If the mutant sweet potatoes grow at the same rate, they can be dug up in four months. Let's wait another month and see.

Xiao Yibai assigned Feng Wu to her. Since there were people to do all the work on the farm, when she felt bored, she would ask Feng Wu to go back and find out some gossip to tell her.

When Feng Wu came back, he first told Mu Xiyue about the things happening in the mansion. In the past few days, there were still people coming to deliver gifts every day, but Mu Xiyue had only heard of the people Feng Wu mentioned and was not very interested.

"The Second Miss Mu from Anyuan Renxing Mansion has been sent to the manor again. This time, it was Prince Mu who personally sent her there. He also instructed the people at the manor not to let the Second Miss Mu leave her room, and not to let the servants do any work for you. Just give her three meals a day and don't starve to death."

Mu Xiyue was not surprised that Mu Weian would do this. She said to Feng Wu, "Mu Xiyu, this is no different from being in jail. It's too pitiful. Feng Wu, just do a good deed and send Mu Xiyu to hell. That way she can be freed."

Feng Wu accepted the order with a smile. Anyone who dared to spread rumors and slander his future princess should not be allowed to stay in this world.

After five days, the princess's mansion was no longer crowded with people. Mu Xiyue returned to the mansion and looked at the list of gifts received by the housekeeper in recent days. She was not very familiar with the names of the people and houses on the gift list, so she took the list to the prince's mansion to find Xiao Yibai.

It was indeed convenient when Xiao Yibai asked the craftsmen to open hanging flower gates on the walls of the two mansions. Although one still had to walk a lot in circles, it was still more convenient than entering through the main gate of the palace.

Xiao Yibai was in the study, and when he saw Mu Xiyue coming to him, he put down the documents in his hand.

"I was just thinking of going to look for you, but you came here first. Do you think this counts as telepathy?"

Mu Xiyue pulled a chair over to sit next to him and said, "Well, guess what I want to talk to you about."

Xiao Yibai had already seen the gift list in her hand and understood her purpose. However, he still jokingly said, "Yueyue, didn't you come here because you missed me after not seeing me for a few days?"

Mu Xiyue placed the gift list in front of him and said stubbornly, "Who misses you? You narcissist! Help me take a look. Tell me more about the situation of these people, their status in the court, and their relationship with you."

Xiao Yibai didn't look at the gift list right away. Instead, he looked at Mu Xiyue and smiled softly, saying, "Yueyue, how can you be so heartless? I miss you so much. It feels like a long time since we last met. Yueyue, please calculate how many days it has been since we last saw each other."

Mu Xiyue's ears turned red, her heart was pounding, and despite having an infuriatingly handsome face, her voice was so brittle that it made people fall apart. Damn, what a male vixen!

Mu Xiyue cursed herself for being so flirtatious. She coughed lightly to cover up her loss of composure, "Stop it, be serious."

Xiao Yibai laughed softly and stopped teasing her. He couldn't tease her too much.

I took a quick look at the gift list. Li Decheng, the housekeeper, did a very good job. The gift list not only clearly stated which lady or young lady from which family, what the gift was, and how much it was worth in silver, but also noted which family the lady's family was from, and whether the young lady was engaged and to which young man she was engaged. The relationships between the people were clear at a glance.

Xiao Yibai explained everything to Mu Xiyue one by one, and explained in detail everything Mu Xiyue wanted to know.

With this calculation, two-thirds of the officials above the sixth rank in Shangjing City sent gifts. Fortunately, Mu Xiyue was really rich and she didn't care how many favors she owed. After all, Xiao Yibai was right. It was normal for her to rush to build relationships with her in her current status. Not all people gave gifts for the purpose of building relationships. Some people just wanted to test the waters.

Mu Xiyue didn't care what these people were trying to do. She asked the housekeeper to send a notice to all the people who sent gifts, and to treat these people to a banquet on the eighth day of the New Year as a complete courtesy.

The butler will take care of the banquet. Mu Xiyue only glanced at the menu and banquet arrangements written by Li Decheng. She didn't like to worry about such tedious matters, but Xiaotao was very interested, so Mu Xiyue asked Xiaotao to help the butler organize the banquet.

A big mansion has its advantages. Even with so many guests, it doesn’t seem crowded.

There is only one master in the Princess's Mansion, Mu Xiyue. As a princess, Mu Xiyue certainly cannot go to the front yard to welcome guests. The guests are received by the housekeeper and Xiaotao together.

Mu Xiyue appeared just when the banquet was about to begin. She treated all the guests equally, regardless of whether they were the family of a first-rank minister or the family of a sixth-rank official.

The banquet was considered a success. Although a few noble ladies who thought they were superior were dissatisfied that they were not treated like stars in the Princess's Mansion, most people were pleased that Mu Xiyue did not act unattainable.

Mu Xiyue didn't care what these people were up to. She had been busy these days. The wooden boxes that Xiao Yibai had people make were already made, and Mu Xiyue had put them all into the space. The treasures collected from the cave in Xiao Yibai's manor had not been sorted out yet.

Whenever she had time during the day, she would lie on the bed with her eyes closed to organize and pack things. She could move things in the space with her mind, but constantly concentrating on controlling the items in the space with her mind consumed a lot of her mental energy. After organizing for half an hour, she was exhausted and finally had to slip into the space to organize manually.

After dinner, with Xiao Yibai helping him sort things out, he naturally went much faster. Besides gold bars and silver ingots, there were also various porcelain, bronze, and jade wares.

There is a set of chess pieces made of white jade and black jade that is truly extremely precious. There is no shortage of good white jade in the world, but black jade is extremely rare in the country of Tianqi.

Before this, the two art gallery tokens that Xiao Yibai carved for her were made of black jade. One was given to Tan Tai Hong, and Mu Xiyue still had one in her hand. Now, the black pieces of this jade chess set and the chess pot are all made of the finest black jade.

Xiao Yibai was also surprised when he saw this chess set. "Legend has it that the third emperor of the Southern Jin Dynasty doted on a concubine who was so good at chess that the emperor ordered his men to search for six years before finding a piece of black jade that matched his taste, just to make a jade chess set for her. It seems the legend is true."

Similar stories were not uncommon in the history books of past lives, so Mu Xiyue didn't think anything of it. However, she asked, "How can you be sure it's this particular jade chess set? What if a merchant from that era used this story as a gimmick and made some similar jade chess pieces and sold them for a very high price?"

Xiao Yibai picked up the chess piece and showed it to Mu Xiyue with the flat side facing up. "There's a word 'Wu' engraved on the bottom of each chess piece. This word 'Wu' is the title of the concubine. It's said that it was engraved by the emperor himself at the time."

Mu Xiyue took a few chess pieces and looked at them, and indeed, every one of them had one.

"Is this chess set valuable? Can I take it out?"

Xiao Yibai didn't care much. "It's okay. If you want to play with it, just take it out. The historical records of the Southern Jin Dynasty say that this chess set disappeared after the death of the imperial concubine. If you take it out, someone who doesn't know the value of it might think it's a fake."

Mu Xiyue doesn't care whether others recognize her value or not. The main thing is that she is a chess lover. She didn't have the conditions to do so during the five years of the apocalypse. Now she is just a lazy person who can lie down and relax, and has no choice but to pick up her hobby again.
