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

Xiao Tao's words were quite good. Mu Xiyue thought she had to go and see for herself. She also had to discuss exchanging the palace's land with Xiao Yibai first; she couldn't just make the decision on her own.

On the second day, Xiao Yibai accompanied Mu Xiyue to the south of the city to look at land, with Xiaotao and Qiyun leading the way.

It is indeed a good place. Qiyun said that this area is about one hundred acres, and there is a small forest and a pond nearby. It is said that the pond looks quite large, and it would be nice if a shopping and leisure plaza could be built together with this land.

However, the land here is all fertile land. Even if the people are willing to exchange it, they still need approval if they want to build houses.

After reading it, Xiao Yibai had a better idea of what was going on. He was very interested in the leisure square described by Mu Xiyue.

"We'll build the square next to the pond and repair the area around it, paving it with stone slabs. We can also put some stone benches by the pond for people to rest. We'll also trim and weed the grove when the time comes, so that it can be more pleasant to the eye. I'll have someone handle the replacement and approval of the fertile land here. We'll write up the plan when we get back to the mansion, but it's estimated to take about a year to complete."

It can be completed in one year, which is not a slow speed. Mu Xiyue imagined whether this place would become lively after the leisure square was completed.

"Once our leisure plaza is completed, there will definitely be a lot of people coming here to shop and spend money. Maybe in a few years, a large commercial street will be formed around it."

After all, this location is only two miles from the South City Gate, and a carriage ride from the city center takes at most half an hour to get here. If this place becomes a commercial district, the profits of this square will be immeasurable.

After returning to the palace, Xiao Yibai and Mu Xiyue worked together to write a business plan. They detailed everything from the overall design of the leisure plaza to the business activities within the plaza and the surrounding environment. The entire leisure plaza would include dining, shopping, and entertainment. Those with money could shop in the shops, while those without could stroll around. They were also allowed to set up stalls around the plaza, which would also help attract customers.

Two days later, on November 20th, the Emperor's birthday, although there was no large palace banquet, a family banquet was held in the palace.

The birthday gift still needed to be prepared. Mu Xiyue took out the jade chess set from the space and said to Xiao Yibai, "Father is such a good chess player, he will definitely like this jade chess set."

It was said a long time ago that this jade chess set would be given to the emperor as a birthday gift, but Xiao Yibai knew that Mu Xiyue also liked this chess set, so he prepared something else. "I have prepared a birthday gift. You can keep the things you like for yourself. Father celebrates his birthday every year, so just give him a small token of your appreciation."

What Xiao Yibai prepared was a jade ornament. It was not very special and not of high value. It was just a casual gift.

However, Mu Xiyue felt that the jade chess piece was just a dead object. Although it was valuable, it was still a dead object. She was very disrespectful in front of the emperor when she entered the palace last time. After all, he was Xiao Yibai's father. Mu Xiyue felt that it was okay to give him a good gift as a token of appreciation. There were many good things in her space. These things that could only be looked at but not eaten did not mean much to her.

Xiao Yibai didn't refuse her kindness, so he put away the ornament he was going to give her and said, "My husband and I only need to give one gift. Although the jade ornament is not very valuable, we can keep it and use it as a favor in the future."

Mu Xiyue was amused by his words, "Okay, I didn't expect you to be so frugal, hahaha!"

The family dinner was in the evening. When the two arrived, everyone else had already arrived, even Prince Rui, who had disabled legs, had come. Seeing the things piled up on the side, they should have been birthday gifts. Xiao Yibai handed the jade chess piece in his hand to Eunuch Lu beside him.

"Father, this is a black jade chess piece from the Southern Jin Dynasty. Yueyue found it with great difficulty."

Upon hearing that it was a black jade chess set, the Emperor delightedly asked Eunuch Lu to open it and show it to him. Just looking at the black jade chess jar revealed that it was made of exceptional black jade. The chess pieces inside were exactly like the legendary black jade chess pieces. This kind of top-grade black jade is extremely rare, and the "Wu" character engraved on the bottom of the chess pieces is also very distinctive, reflecting the legendary emperor's handwriting.

The emperor was very happy and praised it three times in a row, "Yue'er is so thoughtful. This is the most favorite thing I have received today."

Mu Xiyue smiled sweetly, "As long as Father likes it."

After a rare harmonious family dinner, Xiao Yibai mentioned to the emperor his plan to go to Luzhou before leaving the palace.

"Yueyue and I have been married for over a month now, and the Lunar New Year is just over a month away. Grandfather is old, and it's not easy for him to travel back and forth to the capital. I want to take Yueyue to Luzhou to visit him and show my filial piety on behalf of my mother. This year, I will spend the Lunar New Year with him in Luzhou. I ask for your permission, Father."

The emperor thought what Xiao Yibai said made sense and nodded in agreement. "When are we leaving? I'll have someone send some things to your palace tomorrow. You can take them to Luzhou for me to give to your grandfather."

Xiao Yibai bowed and said, "Yes, I thank you for your reward on behalf of my grandfather. We may leave the day after tomorrow, after all, the journey is long."

The Emperor wanted to ask Mu Xiyue if it was possible to try to treat Prince Rui, but he ultimately gave up. It was better to be alive than dead. Was it really because he was getting older that he was becoming more and more soft-hearted? Back then, he only had Prince Xian as his biological brother in order to take the throne.

Prince Rui has become increasingly gloomy since his legs were crippled. When he returned to the palace from the palace, his personal guard Xuanming knocked on his door.

"Master, someone sent us a message saying that Ye Feihun is one of the King of Qi's men. He has a house in the north of the city that specializes in developing poisons. The house was originally owned by the King of Qi's staff. Ye Feihun died in that house five days ago. I have investigated and the news is true."

Ye Feihun was the poison master beside King Rui. After being killed by Xueying, King Qi did not ask anyone to collect his body. The mansion still retains the appearance it had when Xueying left.

Prince Rui didn't seem very angry. He said quietly, "Xuan Ming, how much do you think Fourth Brother has been doing in secret?"

Prince Rui is not completely incompetent. Although he is a little impulsive sometimes, no royal son is truly incompetent. It is just a matter of who is more capable. A truly incompetent prince is lucky to survive to adulthood.

Xuan Ming lowered his head and did not answer. He knew that his master did not need his answer at this time.

Prince Rui asked again, "Have you found anyone who uses a three-edged crescent knife?"

Xuan Ming said, "Master, the person hasn't been caught, but it has been confirmed that he is the King of Qi's man. The Emperor should also know this. Our people found that the Qilin Guards are also looking for that person. The Qilin Guards also know that the man is called Shang Lingyi."
