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

Mu Xiyue thought that since she had said so, the emperor should be able to let her go back.

Unexpectedly, the emperor said: "When Prince Rui was in trouble, his secret guard was killed, but the secret guard was holding a piece of cloth torn from someone else's clothes, and this cloth is the same as the outer shirt worn by Jinzhi's guards."

After the emperor finished speaking, he looked at Mu Xiyue. Mu Xiyue already knew about this. Xiao Yibai had told her all the details of the arrangements for this matter.

She pretended to be surprised, but quickly concealed it, saying, "Father, do you suspect that Prince Rui's injury was caused by someone from Prince Jin's mansion? Xiao Yibai is just outside the door. Father, you can ask him to come in and talk to him."

The emperor naturally did not miss the change in Mu Xiyue's expression. It seemed that Mu Xiyue was unaware of the situation. Although the emperor had already determined in his heart that it was Prince Qi who did it, he could not completely rule out the possibility of Xiao Yibai.

He said, "Jinzhi, I will summon you myself. Today, I just want to hear your opinion."

Mu Xiyue sneered softly, hiding the mockery in her eyes. "Father, what does your Highness want your daughter-in-law to say? Even if your daughter-in-law doesn't understand how to solve a case, you know that a piece of rag alone can't explain anything. Father, your Highness, your daughter-in-law is going to say something you don't want to hear. I was so happy to hear that Prince Rui was in trouble that I ate an extra bowl of rice. If it was really done by my prince, I would definitely applaud him."

The emperor angrily scolded, "How dare you! Prince Rui and Prince Jin are brothers. How dare you speak like this..."

Mu Xiyue was not afraid at all and angrily interrupted the emperor, "Father, are they really brothers? Does Prince Rui really treat my prince as his brother? Father, do you really not know how many times Prince Rui has assassinated Xiao Yibai, or do you know it but still indulge Prince Rui?"

The emperor was enraged by Mu Xiyue's words, "Mu Xiyue, you are so arrogant! Who gave you the courage to speak to me like that?"

Mu Xiyue showed no sign of weakness. Was she competing for the loudest voice? She also raised her voice. "Am I being arrogant? You are the Emperor, yes. Don't forget you are also a father. I don't ask you to treat me equally, but at least don't be so biased! What's so arrogant about me? Can't I argue with my own father? Can't I speak up for my husband? Prince Xu Rui has repeatedly put Xiao Yibai to death, and I laughed at him getting his comeuppance."

When the emperor heard her words that she couldn't argue with her father, his anger immediately subsided a lot, but he still put on a stern face.

Seeing the emperor open his mouth to speak, Mu Xiyue quickly said, "If you don't feel sorry for Xiao Yibai's repeated brushes with death, then I should feel sorry for him. Just a few nights ago, he and I almost died at the hands of Prince Rui. Why didn't my prince complain to you? Because it's useless! You never stood up for him. If you want to see brothers being friendly and respectful to each other, why don't you let Prince Rui be friendly to his brothers first? How can there be respect for his brothers if they are not friendly to each other?"

Mu Xiyue wasn't being reckless in confronting the Emperor. Although she chattered non-stop, she was also watching his expression. Her bet was right. Most of the royal sons acted like subjects in front of the Emperor, their reverence for him more than their admiration. So, she repeatedly reminded him that the Emperor was a father.

The emperor's anger faded after being yelled at by Mu Xiyue. This girl was truly audacious. No one had ever dared to yell at him like that before. He wondered if Jinzhi was also scolded by this girl at home. Yes, she was definitely scolded. This girl's temper must have been spoiled by Jinzhi.

For the first time, the emperor rolled his eyes without any dignity and said angrily, "How can Jinzhi tolerate your temper? You really don't know what you are talking about. Believe it or not, I will chop you off."

Mu Xiyue yelled until she was thirsty. Seeing that the emperor was not angry, she smiled flatteringly and said, "Father, I am wrong. The truth is always unpleasant to hear. I shouldn't tell the truth. Please calm down. If you kill me, your son will die of grief. It would be a shame if he died for me."

The emperor took a few sips of tea before pretending to be stern and saying, "You still know you're a daughter-in-law. Which daughter-in-law is as outspoken as you? Xiaowu, get in here."

Mu Xiyue and the emperor were both talking very loudly. Xiao Yibai was standing outside the door. He heard the voices getting louder and louder inside. He almost rushed in when he heard Mu Xiyue's yelling words. He didn't expect that his father had lost his temper.

It had been a long time since he heard his father call him Xiao Wu. Hiding the emotion in his eyes, Xiao Yibai pushed open the door and walked in with a smile on his face. "Your son greets your father. How could you have made Yueyue so angry? My Yueyue is timid and usually speaks softly. Just now, your son almost thought that your father and Yueyue had a fight."

The emperor was so angry at Xiao Yibai's shameless words that he laughed. He picked up the memorial on the table and threw it at him, "Your wife is still timid? And you still speak softly? You are already pointing your finger at me and scolding me. Hurry up and get out of here with your wife."

Xiao Yibai took the memorial with a smile and placed it back on the dragon table. "Yes, Father, please calm down. Yueyue and I will take our leave now."

Eunuch Lu wiped the sweat from his forehead after seeing Prince Jin and Princess Jin leave. Eunuch Lu also heard the loud noise in the imperial study just now. He shook his head. Princess Jin was really bold. He was really afraid that the emperor would chop Princess Jin to death in a rage. Then the father-son relationship between the emperor and Prince Jin would never be restored.

Eunuch Lu walked into the imperial study trembling with fear to serve, but he did not expect to see the emperor still smiling, as if he was thinking about something.

The emperor knew that it was Eunuch Lu who came in. He seemed to be talking to Eunuch Lu, "Old man, you heard it just now, didn't you? Xiaowu's wife is extremely fierce. No wonder Xiaowu doesn't dare to take a concubine. If a few more women come into Prince Jin's mansion, I'm afraid they will be overthrown by this girl."

Eunuch Lu could see that the emperor was not angry when he said this. Instead, he was like a loving father showing off how capable his daughter was.

Eunuch Lu has been with the Emperor since childhood, having grown up with him. He knows him very well. He smiled and said, "Princess Jin is a woman of character. She's not like other women who are cunning and have to think in circles before saying anything. I can see that Princess Jin truly loves Prince Jin and is always thinking about him."

The emperor smiled. "You are the one who knows how to adjust your position according to the wind. How could I not know that this girl is protecting Xiaowu? Perhaps she has suffered a lot in the countryside and developed such a lawless character. It's a good thing that Xiaowu can tolerate this temper. Xiaowu's mother also has a bad temper, and this girl's temper is even worse than Xiaowu's mother's."

Eunuch Lu went forward to refill the Emperor's tea without replying. He knew the Emperor was thinking about Concubine Yu again. In the past, only Concubine Yu dared to challenge the Emperor, and the Emperor was willing to indulge her. However, no matter how capable Concubine Yu was, she was not as bold as Princess Jin. Eunuch Lu listened to the Emperor's mumbling with a smile.
