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

On the carriage back to the palace, Mu Xiyue was a little confused. Didn't the emperor have no intention of punishing Hu Qianrou before? Why did Xiao Yibai's words have such great power?

Xiao Yibai hugged Mu Xiyue and explained softly, "Father originally had no intention of supporting Hu Qianrou, nor did he intend to punish her. Although you broke Hu Qianrou's finger, it was ultimately just a minor friction between you girls."

Mu Xiyue nodded. She saw this, so she didn't intend to care about Hu Qianrou's lack of sincere apology.

Xiao Yibai continued, "But because of your unbridled and arrogant attitude in front of the emperor, he turned cold. No one has ever dared to speak like that in front of him. I said those words because he turned against you. If he didn't punish Hu Qianrou, he was afraid that I would retaliate privately."

Mu Xiyue tutted her tongue twice. "Your cousin doesn't look like someone who would give in. What kind of person is her father? If he's also vindictive, who knows, he might cause trouble for me later."

Xiao Yibai said confidently, "No, her father, Hu Yiliang, is a neutral and upright man. He serves as the Chief Censor in the Metropolitan Censorate. Since the founding of the Tianqi Kingdom, the imperial consorts have only been given sinecure positions. Hu Yiliang is the only one with a real job. This time, the emperor sent him to Jingtong County to work with the fourth brother on disaster relief matters. Otherwise, he would have been summoned to the palace long ago."

If Hu Yilian was here today, Hu Qianrou might have been punished even more severely.

"Hu Qianrou was spoiled by Princess Changle, who was also spoiled. When she was alive, Hu Yiliang had no control over her. Hu Qianrou used to be even more unruly, but after Princess Changle passed away, her father became stricter with her."

Princess Changle is the emperor's biological sister, which means she is the empress dowager's biological daughter. The empress dowager has such a good temper, but Princess Changle is a spoiled one. This is unexpected.

"How does the Empress Dowager treat Princess Qianrou?"

Xiao Yibai understood what Mu Xiyue meant, and wondered whether he should be more tolerant towards Hu Qianrou for the Empress Dowager's sake.

"Although Princess Changle is the Royal Grandmother's biological daughter, she isn't very close to her. I don't know the specific reason why they aren't close. Hu Qianrou, on the other hand, is spoiled and willful, so the Royal Grandmother doesn't like her very much, and thus they are somewhat distant."

Xiao Yibai had told her a lot about the royal family these days, and Mu Xiyue could only come to one conclusion: as expected, most royal families have a weak sense of family affection.

Her stomach growled again, and Mu Xiyue leaned into Xiao Yibai's arms and muttered, "What's going on? It's already dark and I haven't had dinner yet."

Xiao Yibai lowered his eyes and looked at the person in his arms and said, "Are you hungry? Let's have some snacks first."

There were snacks on the carriage. Mu Xiyue instantly perked up, "When did you bring the snacks? We left in such a hurry, and you still remembered to bring snacks!"

Xiao Yibai chuckled and pecked her lips, "This is it, sweet?"

Mu Xiyue was speechless. This didn't satisfy her hunger. "Sweet as hell! I'm hungry, not greedy!"

Xiao Yibai chuckled, "Kissing for a while will definitely help relieve your hunger."

Without waiting for Mu Xiyue to speak, he pressed his lips against hers again, his hands roaming around her body without hesitation. Mu Xiyue couldn't resist his teasing and began to respond, until Feng Wu's voice rang out from outside the carriage, "Prince and Princess, we're here!"

Xiao Yibai cursed Feng Wu in his heart, what a tactless guy! If Qi Yun was with him, he would never call him at this time.

Qiyun sneezed in the mansion. Xiao Taoer was missing me again. I had to go see her. We were in the same mansion, so it was very convenient to be able to reach her in just a few steps.

Mu Xiyue was now able to face this embarrassing situation calmly. She wiped the water stains from the corner of her lips and jumped out of the carriage first.

The next morning, Xiao Yibai returned home from court. Along with him came the emperor's rewards, which included a lot of things, including jewelry, head ornaments, calligraphy and paintings, and five thousand taels of gold, which was a reward for Mu Xiyue for discovering the gold mine.

Mu Xiyue had plenty of gold, silver and treasures in her space, so she was not surprised. She took a quick look and picked out a few pieces of jewelry to add to Xiaotao's dowry, and asked Uncle Fu to put the rest into the warehouse.

Time soon arrived on the eighth day of November, Xiaotao and Qiyun's wedding day.

Brothers Qiyun and Qifeng had grown up with Xiao Yibai, serving as his right-hand men and acting as close as brothers. Xiao Yibai had bought a house for them in the south of the city years ago, near the east. It was originally a large mansion, but it was divided into two units after the purchase, though the two were still connected. After confirming Qiyun and Xiaotao's wedding date, Uncle Fu had it renovated and cleaned.

When Xiao Tao married out of the Princess's Mansion, her dowry was as much as 128 loads, which was more than most of the weddings of daughters given by high-ranking officials in the capital, and the people were amazed.

The people who attended the wedding banquet at Qiyun's mansion were mostly the palace's guards and secret guards. Mu Xiyue and Xiao Yibai also went to Qiyun's mansion to join in the fun. Tan Taihong also went with them.

Not only did Qiyun have a banquet, but the palace also had one. The palace had to be guarded, so the banquet was for the guards and secret guards who stayed behind.

Xiao Yibai and Mu Xiyue waited until the banquet was over before returning to the palace. Tan Taihong was now staying at Mu Xiyue's princess residence in Shangjing City. After the banquet, he returned to the palace with the two of them, but the carriage was stopped halfway.

Blocking the road were a middle-aged man and woman who looked like people from the martial arts world. Xiao Yibai and Mu Xiyue did not know these two people from the martial arts world, but Tan Taihong did.

Xiao Yibai narrowed his eyes and asked, "What do you two want to do by stopping me?"

The man in the middle of the two said, "Your Highness, Prince Jin, I owe someone a favor. Today, to repay the favor, my husband and I will fight the prince and princess. If you two fight me and my husband two against two, I promise not to harm any innocent people. As long as you can hold out for two quarters of an hour, I will give up this mission."

Tan Tai Hong jumped off his horse and stood beside Mu Xiyue, mocking her. "It's so strange that the famous Yuquan Twin Swords would risk their lives for others!"

Mu Xiyue tilted her head and nodded slightly, asking, "Brother Hong, do you know these two?"

Tan Tai Hong hummed, "The Yuquan Twin Swords are renowned in the martial arts world. The man is Zuo Quan, the woman is Zuo Yu. They were originally brothers and sisters, but later became husband and wife. They are the masters of combined sword strikes, and few rival them in the martial arts world."

Xiao Yibai had heard of the name of the Yuquan Twin Swords, but people from the martial arts world like this usually would not have any connection with people in the imperial court, let alone attack the royal family. It seemed that they owed this person a big favor. Who made such martial arts masters owe him a favor?

The Yuquan Twin Swords are famous in the martial arts world not only for their excellent martial arts and swordsmanship, but also for their upright character, and they always do what they say.

Xiao Yibai was also very calm when he heard the title. "So it's the Yuquan Twin Swords. I've heard a lot about you! It seems that the two elders came here with the belief that they will win. However, there are always people who are better than you. Nothing in this world is absolute."

Zuo Quan didn't seem to be arrogant at all, and simply said calmly: "Then let's see who's really good."
