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

Xiao Yibai's vacation was over long ago, and he went to the morning court the next day. Mu Xiyue also entered the palace after breakfast. She was going to see the empress dowager.

Normally, she should have paid her respects to the Queen when she entered the palace, but the Queen was an enemy to Xiao Yibai, and she had no interest in acting, so she stayed in the Queen Mother's palace to talk with her and wait for Xiao Yibai to leave the court.

The Queen Mother listened with great interest to her story about what happened at the Beast Prison Mountain.

"Next time you come to the palace, bring your two little tiger cubs with you so I can see them. Yue'er, you're truly a lucky star. You even found a gold mine while playing. You're truly someone that Firefox has taken a fancy to."

Mu Xiyue thought that the matter of the gold mine should not be publicized. She had just said a lot of funny things but did not mention the gold mine.

"Even the Empress Dowager knows about this. I thought this was something that couldn't be discussed casually!"

The Queen Mother said cheerfully, "The matter of the gold mine has been settled. The Emperor praised you in court a few days ago, so I naturally know about it."

Mu Xiyue didn't care whether the emperor praised her or not. Since she had discovered a gold mine, she had to report it. Tianqi had a clear rule that no one could open a mine privately, even if they discovered a mine in a private mountain they had purchased. Besides, she had no shortage of money. She had so much money piled up in her space that she couldn't use it all in several lifetimes.

She smiled and said, "I discovered that cave by accident. It was almost evening that day, and I was looking for a cave to spend the night. After entering, I found that it looked a bit like a gold mine."

This set of words was agreed upon by her and Xiao Yibai. It was not a good thing to let outsiders know that the Firefox had the ability to find treasure. The Firefox was Mu Xiyue's pet, so it could be considered that it was discovered by Mu Xiyue.

The people from the Mine Supervision Office at Prison Beast Mountain did not dare to waste time even in the heavy rain. After the investigation, they left people to guard there and then came back to report. They arrived half a day earlier than Mu Xiyue and the others.

A few days ago, the Emperor was delighted to receive a letter confirming a gold mine, and at the morning court, he praised Mu Xiyue as a lucky star. Yesterday, the prospectors reported back that the gold mine might be the sum of the three existing mines. The Emperor was even more delighted, and ordered the mine supervisory office to quickly develop an extraction plan.

At the morning court, the emperor praised Xiao Yibai and Mu Xiyue again.

After the morning court session, Xiao Yibai went to the Empress Dowager's Ci'an Palace. Prince Rui called him from behind.

"Fifth brother, congratulations! Your sister-in-law is truly your lucky star, you must take good care of her."

A hint of coldness flashed across Xiao Yibai's eyes, but he immediately put on a harmless smile. "Big Brother is right. I will protect my princess well. However, my princess is a master of martial arts. Ordinary people can't get close to her. She's not like the average rich girl who can't even handle a guard. Of course, it's also possible that she simply doesn't want to resist."

The direction of this statement was too obvious. Prince Rui naturally knew that Xiao Yibai was talking about the affair between Princess Rui and the guard. He thought he had kept it a secret well, but he didn't expect Xiao Yibai to know about it. He had never been able to find out who was behind it. Could it be...

Prince Rui's face was so dark that ink could drip out of it. He put away the smile on his face and walked away after saying just one sentence.

"Fifth brother, you have good means. I wish you good luck forever!"

Xiao Yibai snorted disdainfully, glanced at the rockery on the other side, and walked away.

After Xiao Yibai left, King Qi came out from behind the rockery. It seemed that it was the fifth brother who did the thing about the eldest sister-in-law. What a good trick.

When Xiao Yibai arrived at Ci'an Palace, Mu Xiyue and the Empress Dowager were chatting happily. He stepped forward and bowed to the Empress Dowager: "Grandson pays his respects to the Imperial Grandmother. Does the Imperial Grandmother miss you?"

The Queen Mother said with deliberate disdain, "Why should I miss you when I have Yue'er, my granddaughter-in-law?"

Xiao Yibai walked forward with a smile and sat next to the Queen Mother. "A granddaughter-in-law is a granddaughter-in-law, and a grandson is a grandson. Could it be that the Royal Grandmother no longer wants a grandson now that she has a granddaughter-in-law?"

As they were speaking, the palace maid who was guarding outside came in to announce that the King of Qi had arrived. The Queen Mother raised her hand to signal for someone to come in.

The Prince of Qi still wore that smiling tiger look. After greeting the Queen Mother, he smiled and said to Xiao Yibai and Mu Xiyue, "Congratulations to my fifth brother and his wife for finding the gold mine. Your wife is indeed someone that the Fire Fox has chosen. She is truly the lucky star of our Tianqi Nation. Don't you agree, Grandmother?"

The Queen Mother agreed cheerfully, "Ze'er is right, and I agree as well. It's a rare opportunity for you to meet each other today, so why not stay and have lunch with me?"

The King of Qi agreed with a smile, and Mu Xiyue and Xiao Yibai would not refuse the Queen Mother's wishes.

The King of Qi is indeed a better actor and better at behaving himself than the King of Rui. He speaks to Xiao Yibai as if they are very close, and they chat about all kinds of insignificant gossip.

Judging from the Queen Mother's attitude towards the King of Qi, she must like this grandson very much, and the King of Qi is also very good at making the old lady happy.

After lunch, Xiao Yibai and Mu Xiyue left the palace. Today, Mu Xiyue had a new opinion of King Qi.

The Prince of Qi was far more scheming than the Prince of Rui. He seemed to be chatting with the two of them about nothing, but in reality, he was discussing everything that had happened during their time at Prison Beast Mountain. However, they were just there for fun, so there was nothing to hide. So, why not try to trick them into thinking something out? It would also make him think that the Xiao Yibai couple were not scheming.

After returning to the palace, Uncle Fu came to find Mu Xiyue and said, "Princess, I've found the shop you asked me to find. It's just that the location isn't very good. It's at the end of Nan'an Street. It's two shops side by side. It originally belonged to the youngest son of the Xu family in the south of the city. It was a furniture shop."

The Xu family in the south of the city was a prominent and wealthy merchant family in Shangjing. Their daughter was the concubine of the eldest son of Yu Taifu. Therefore, despite being a merchant family, no one in Shangjing would exclude them. The Xu family had three sons, but they did not get along with each other. The old man of the Xu family was a man of clear thinking and simply divided the family property among the three sons to avoid quarrels.

The Xu family's youngest son was addicted to gambling and had lost most of his share of the family fortune. He had recently lost so much that he had to sell his two shops in the south of the city to pay off his debts to the gambling den.

Mu Xiyue didn't think much about it after hearing this. There were very few shops for sale in the capital, so she immediately asked Uncle Fu to buy it for her.

Uncle Fu nodded in agreement. "Yes, I'll do it right away. But the price of this shop may be a little higher than normal. I heard that there are other families who want to buy it. At that price, the two shops would cost less than 40,000 taels of silver. If you want to buy it now, it may cost 40,000 taels."

"It's okay. It doesn't matter if it's a little higher than the market price, as long as it's not too outrageous. An extra one or two thousand taels doesn't matter. Just transfer it directly to Xiao Tao."

Mu Xiyue took out 50,000 silver notes and gave them to Uncle Fu. The shop was to be Xiaotao's dowry. It didn't matter whether it made money or not. He just had to buy the shop first.

At dinner time, Uncle Fu came to report that he had bought the shop for 41,000 taels and would transfer the ownership tomorrow.

On the second day, Mu Xiyue and Xiaotao went to the government office together and transferred the mansion they had lived in before to Xiaotao.

Xiao Tao didn't know what to say, her eyes reddened, "Princess, no other legitimate daughter has prepared as much dowry for me as you have."

Mu Xiyue wasn't used to such sentimentality. She patted Xiaotao's shoulder and coaxed her with a gentle laugh, "You are my Princess Jin's sister, so a dowry is essential. Why are you crying? Without our wet nurse, I wouldn't be who I am today. These are just some worldly possessions. It's not like I can't afford them. Don't cry. If Qiyun sees you, he'll think I'm bullying you!"
