The princess has super powers and space, so what's wrong with being a little arrogant?
Chapter 181 Architect Li Congxin
Ever since Mu Xiyue came back, Firefox has been particularly clingy. During the day, as long as Xiao Yibai is not around, Firefox will lie at Mu Xiyue's feet, as if it knows she has a baby in her belly and will not jump into her arms.
When Firefox first arrived, it was still a cub, but after being raised in the palace for half a year, it has grown a lot bigger.
Before Xiao Yibai left court, Mu Xiyue went to see her two white tigers. They were kept in the courtyard closest to them, having been brought home for five months. They were now larger than sheep and ate more than ten pounds of meat a day. Fortunately, the palace was wealthy, otherwise they wouldn't be able to afford to keep these two big treasures.
The fire fox was obviously very familiar with the two white tigers. As soon as the yard was opened, it jumped onto the back of the white tiger.
The two white tigers were very excited to see Mu Xiyue and pounced towards her quickly. Mu Xiyue had to use her special ability to immobilize them. She was really afraid that if they were pounced by these two guys, the baby in her belly would be hurt.
The two white tigers let out a low whining sound at the same time. Mu Xiyue could clearly see a look of grievance on their faces, and their expressions were very synchronized, which was quite funny.
Walking to the side of the white tigers and retracting her supernatural power, Mu Xiyue smiled and stroked the fur of the two white tigers, "Don't feel wronged, I have a baby in my belly, you can't jump on me now."
Xiao Tao just happened to be at the gate of the courtyard. When she heard the young lady and White Tiger talking in such a gentle voice, she smiled and said, "Young lady, you have to take good care of them now. Be careful that these two tiger cubs don't bump into you."
Mu Xiyue rubbed the tiger's head vigorously a few more times, "Look at its size. It's not a tiger cub anymore. We are handsome young men now."
"Qiyun said that a tiger is still a cub at six months old, and it is not considered an adult until it is three years old. The people the prince invited have arrived and are now in the main hall in the front yard. Do you want to go and meet them first?"
Xiao Tao said that he was the one who designed the house. Xiao Yibai said that he would come to the palace today. "Go, is the prince not back yet?"
Xiao Tao reached out and helped her walk out, "No, walk slowly, you are a double now."
Mu Xiyue smiled and joked, "Yes, yes, little housekeeper, you should also pay attention. Maybe Qiyun has successfully sown the seeds."
Before I reached the front yard, I saw Xiao Yibai coming from the outer yard, followed by a young man, who should be the person Xiao Tao mentioned.
Xiao Yibai took a few quick steps and held Mu Xiyue's hand. Xiao Tao stepped aside very attentively.
"Why did you come out? Let me introduce you, this is the Master Li I told you about."
The man behind him bowed to Mu Xiyue and said, "I, Li Cong, greet you again, Princess. May you be well!"
Mu Xiyue smiled and said, "Master Li, there's no need to be so polite. Thank you for taking this trip."
Xiao Yibai took the person to the study and then explained Li Congxin's identity in detail. Li Congxin was once a famous architectural master in Daliang State. The palace of Daliang State was designed by his great-grandfather, and his skills were considered a family inheritance.
Six years ago, his father was responsible for building a new palace in the palace. The new palace was for one of the emperor's favorite concubines to live in. The concubine was crushed to death by a broken beam only three days after she moved in. The emperor was furious and sentenced Li Congxin and his entire family to be executed.
At that time, Li Congxin had just returned to the capital after designing a house for a wealthy businessman. When he heard about the situation at home at the city gate, he did not enter the city. The people responsible for capturing Li Congxin's family began to search for him after they found out that Li Congxin was missing.
How could the beams of the newly built palace be broken? He knew something was fishy without thinking too much. After a few days, he sneaked into the capital and asked the third prince to help their Li family find out the truth and clear the Li family's name.
The third prince has a teahouse in the capital, which is where he meets people privately. Li Congxin and the third prince are of similar age and have a good personal relationship.
He disguised himself and quietly entered the teahouse, requesting a private room by the window, hoping to wait for the Third Prince to appear. Unexpectedly, he heard a voice from the next room, saying that the Empress had ordered the beam to be destroyed in order to kill the concubine. The Emperor later discovered the truth, but the Empress could not dispose of it arbitrarily, so the Li family had to bear the blame. Although this matter was strictly forbidden, people in the capital were still discussing it quietly.
The Queen was the biological mother of the Third Prince. Disheartened, Li Congxin left the capital. A year later, he traveled to the border of Tianqi Kingdom, having run out of money. He happened to meet Xiao Yibai. Li Congxin did not hide his identity, and Xiao Yibai sent someone to Daliang Kingdom to verify it, and then brought Li Congxin back to Shangjing.
Li Congxin is 25 years old this year, but he has a high level of attainment in architecture. After Li Congxin came to Shangjing, he was recruited by Xiao Yibai and usually lived in the manor of the palace.
Xiao Yibai took out a simple floor plan he had drawn in advance from the drawer and talked to Li Congxin about building a leisure plaza. Mu Xiyue had already told Xiao Yibai about the general idea, and after Xiao Yibai finished speaking, he looked at Mu Xiyue.
"Does Yueyue have anything to add?"
Mu Xiyue explained the layout of the house in more detail, including which parts had large internal spaces and which parts did not require large internal spaces.
Li Congxin couldn't hide his excitement after hearing this. He had never designed such a large building complex before.
"No problem, Your Highness, Your Highness, I will certainly live up to your expectations." Pointing at the map, he asked, "The houses Your Highness mentioned should be connected by bridges on the second and third floors. I think we could build wide corridors on the second floors of these locations, with chairs on both sides for visitors to rest."
Li Congxin made a few more suggestions. Mu Xiyue even felt that his ideas were very advanced. The three of them talked for nearly an hour before Li Congxin took Xiao Yibai's simple diagram and left.
"Your Highness, Princess, I will be able to produce a detailed map within a month at most. I will take my leave."
It can be seen that Xiao Yibai's attitude towards Li Congxin is not entirely that of a subordinate, but rather a kind of respect for talented people.
"Well, thank you for your hard work. Go ahead! Qiyun, take Master Li to have a look."
The morning passed quickly. Mu Xiyue had no habit of taking naps. Now that she was pregnant, Xiao Yibai was worried about her going out for a stroll, so she was too lazy to move and half-lying on the soft couch in the study to accompany Xiao Yibai in work.
Qi Feng knocked on the door and came in. "Master, the people have been rescued. Here is the confession sent over there."
Xiao Yibai took it and flipped through it, "Well, protect those people."
Qi Feng continued, "Our people discovered that the King of Qi's men were also searching for Zheng Dongxing's family. They also discovered that we rescued him, and they must have recognized our identities, but they didn't take any other action and simply withdrew."
After hearing this, Mu Xiyue put down the book in her hand and looked up at the master and servant who were talking.
Xiao Yibai received Mu Xiyue's gaze, he smiled and waved, Mu Xiyue jumped off the couch and walked to Xiao Yibai's side. Xiao Yibai didn't care that Qi Feng was still there and hugged her and sat her on his lap.
Qi Feng didn't hear any instructions from his master, so he bowed and said, "If you have no other instructions, I will take my leave."
Xiao Yibai nodded, "Well, go down!"
