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

Obviously, the ability of the person who can become the emperor is beyond doubt, and the emperor sees all the little actions and thoughts of these princes.

Although the King of Qi is capable and scheming, he is too selfish and everything he does is based on his own interests instead of the people of the world. He also does not care about the lives of the people. If the emperor wants a better future for the Tianqi Kingdom, such a person is definitely not the most qualified candidate for the crown prince.

Mu Xiyue just smiled when she heard these things. As long as Jiang Yurou didn't come to her again to seek trouble, she would not cause trouble for her again.

After resting for two days in Fengfeng City, Xiao Yibai transferred a lieutenant general from the nearest garrison and directly imprisoned the county governor Gao Zuo. He also left Feng Liuhe and a secret guard to cooperate in handling the affairs here.

The group finally set off again. The weather was getting colder as they went east. The temperature in the eastern part of Tianqi Kingdom was even colder than that in the capital during winter. Xiao Yibai was familiar with the climate here, so the clothes everyone brought were warm enough.

In order to avoid sleeping in the wild, we would calculate the next place to stay. Sometimes we would set off before dawn, and sometimes we would rest before dusk. The journey was much slower than expected.

After another seven days of travel, we stopped at noon in a remote place, in the middle of nowhere. As we were gathering firewood for the fire, snowflakes began to fall. It wasn't a heavy snowfall, but it was the first snowfall of the year.

The fire was lit, and a pot was set up. Tan Tai Hong prepared lunch, a pot of pork and noodle dumplings. Eating a bowl of hot noodle dumplings on this snowy day warmed me up.

If Xueying's martial arts skills were restored to their peak, she would be comparable to Qifeng and Qiyun. However, she couldn't cook. Even barbecued meat was barely cooked enough to be eaten. When she went on missions, she would only buy steamed buns or dry food. Tantai Hong, on the other hand, based on his past life skills, cooked deliciously; even simple noodles were tasty.

Everyone was eating happily when a group of people came up on horseback and stopped in front of them.

Xiao Yibai stood up as soon as he saw the people coming. He saw that the leader was a young man in his early twenties, very handsome and gentle. His hair was slightly messy, probably because he had been riding all the way. When the man saw Xiao Yibai, he immediately jumped off his horse and saluted with great joy.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Jin, may His Royal Highness be well!"

Xiao Yibai smiled and walked over to help the man up. "No need to be polite, cousin. Why are you here?"

The man who came was Xueying's brother, Yu Jingping. Yu Jingping was clearly very excited. He had come all the way from Luzhou just to welcome his sister home. After eight days of travel, they finally ran into each other.

He answered Xiao Yibai's words while looking at the crowd, "Your Highness, I am here on the orders of my grandfather to welcome you and your sister home."

Seeing Xueying's face, Yu Jingping's eyes instantly turned red. He didn't care about Xiao Yibai and walked to Xueying in two steps. His voice was a little choked, "You are Qi'er! I am Brother Jingping."

Yu Jingping's tone was very firm. It seemed that Xueying really looked like her mother.

Xueying hadn't been with her family for so many years, and a scene from her childhood suddenly flashed through her mind. Her brother would often bring her a candied haws when he came home from school, but her mother was afraid that she would get cavities if she ate too much, so her brother would always secretly pull her aside and put the candied haws into her hand with a smile, "Qier, eat it quickly, don't let your mother find out!"

Xueying's eyes also turned red, "Brother, don't you have any candied haws?"

This sentence also evoked Yu Jingping's memories, and the tall and strong man burst into tears.

"It's hard to carry candied haws on horseback, so I'll buy some for you when we get back."

Xiao Yibai did not disturb the brother and sister. He walked to Mu Xiyue and stood quietly without saying a word. Tan Taihong also stood aside tactfully.

Yu Jingping lowered his head, wiped away his tears and said with a smile: "Qier, Grandpa, Father and Mother are all waiting for you to come home. Your sister-in-law is also looking forward to seeing you. We have finally waited!"

Mu Xiyue is a hard-hearted person, and she felt a little sad when she saw Yu Jingping wiping her tears.

Xueying's eyes reddened, but she didn't cry, perhaps because of her unique experience. After Yu Jingping wiped away her tears, she smiled and said, "Brother, let me introduce you. The one next to the prince is Princess Jin, and this is Tan Taihong, your future brother-in-law."

Yu Jingping also knew that he had been impolite, and hurriedly bowed to Mu Xiyue, "Greetings, Princess. I was too excited when I saw Qi'er just now. Please forgive me, Princess."

Mu Xiyue gave him a slight support and said, "No need to be so polite, cousin."

Yu Jingping bowed to Tan Tai Hong as if he were his equal, "Master Tan Tai, I'm grateful for your care for Qi'er."

Tan Tai Hong smiled faintly and returned the greeting to Yu Jingping with an elegant demeanor. "Mr. Yu, you are too polite. Ah Xue is my fiancée, and it is my responsibility to take care of her."

Although the snow wasn't heavy, it was inappropriate for everyone to be standing in the snow. Xiao Yibai said, "Cousin, why don't we hurry on our way? My cousin can't stand the cold. How about we talk about it in detail when we get to where we're staying?"

When Yu Jingping heard Xiao Yibai say that his sister couldn't stand the cold, he thought women were inherently fragile and couldn't compare to men. He immediately responded, "Yes, I was too excited. Let's hurry up, hurry up."

Yu Jingping came on horseback with six guards. They didn't feel cold even though they were riding in the snow. They led the way in front, heading east.

The snow was not heavy so it did not affect their journey much. Before dark, they arrived at Qingshui County, the place arranged by Xiao Yibai's secret guards.

The county seat of Qingshui County is not big, nor is it very prosperous, so the secret guards directly booked a small inn for them. Fortunately, it was an inn that could accommodate Yu Jingping and his group of seven.

During dinner, Yu Jingping couldn't help but ask Xueying how she had survived all these years. Xueying's experience was not good. It can be said that if she didn't have such strong beliefs, she would not be alive today.

Xueying just smiled and didn't elaborate: "Brother, I'm doing well now. My past experiences were a bit complicated. I'll tell everyone about it when I get home."

If Xueying didn't say it, no one else would say it for her. Yu Jingping didn't have to know it right away. He was already very happy that his sister accepted him without any hesitation. No matter what his sister had experienced, she was still his sister.

Xiao Yibai feared the atmosphere was too depressing, so he changed the subject, "Is Grandfather still in good health? I haven't seen him in four years."

Yu Jingping filled Xiao Yibai's glass with wine and said with a smile, "Grandfather is in good health. He has always been exercising regularly. This time he was hoping that the princess would come along. The princess's presence has fulfilled his wish."

Mu Xiyue smiled and said, "Abai is going back to Luzhou with my cousin, so I should go with them to pay my respects to my grandfather."
