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

Ji Yun smiled and sat still. He wanted to stay and get familiar with the legendary master. Maybe one day he could ask Miss Mu to teach him a few moves.

Xiao Yibai glanced at him and asked, "Why don't you go make the antidote?"

Ji Yun saw the defensiveness in Xiao Yibai's eyes. What the hell was this? What was he on guard against? He stood up helplessly and bowed to Mu Xiyue. "Miss Mu, if you're not in a hurry to leave, I can prepare the antidote in about an hour and a half."

Mu Xiyue originally thought that she could use healing magic to clear the poison in her body, but since Ji Yun could make the antidote, she decided not to do it herself.

After Ji Yun left, Xiao Yibai said, "Your father is openly neutral, but secretly supports King Rui. He asked you to get close to me because he wanted to know my affairs from your side."

Mu Xiyue sorted out this information, "Mu Fengnian is on King Rui's side, which means it's actually King Rui who wants to know your movements."

Xiao Yibai nodded, and Mu Xiyue continued, "Doctor Ji said that the poison in my body is the same as your concubine's. Since Doctor Ji has already developed an antidote, it means that your concubine has already been detoxified. But Mu Fengnian still poisoned me with this poison. This means that your concubine has not been detoxified yet and is still under the control of King Rui. So why did they poison me again? If your concubine can't provide them with useful information even when she is by your side, what's the point of controlling an outsider like me?"

Xiao Yibai always felt something was strange when Mu Xiyue kept calling him "your concubine". Deep down, he didn't want Mu Xiyue to misunderstand that he had favored other women.

"Miss Mu, although they are my concubines, I have never touched them."

Before Xiao Yibai could finish, Mu Xiyue caught the key point and asked curiously: "Them? Are there many women in your house? Don't get me wrong, I'm just curious, you don't have to tell me."

Xiao Yibai smiled helplessly, "I don't have a wife or concubines. There are three concubines in the mansion, who were given by the Queen and the Queen Mother. I have never touched them."

The woman sent by the Queen and the Queen Mother must not be ugly. Is there something wrong with leaving such a beauty beside him and not touching her? Mu Xiyue couldn't help but glance between his legs.

When Xiao Yibai noticed Mu Xiyue's eyes, his face suddenly darkened. What kind of look was that? Did she doubt her man's ability?

"Miss Mu, those three are nominally my concubines, but in reality they all have masters behind them. They entered my Prince Jin's mansion only to gather information."

This brought the topic back to the previous topic. Mu Xiyue asked, "Wasn't the concubine who was poisoned originally from Prince Rui's family?"

"She was originally the Queen's person. The Queen is Prince Rui's biological mother, and that concubine is also Prince Rui's person. She just wanted to climb into my bed after entering my house. When they saw that she was out of control, they poisoned her. After she was poisoned, she came to me to explain the situation. I took advantage of her trick and asked her to pass on the message."

Mu Xiyue understood. "That concubine fell in love with you after entering the palace. She didn't want to be their spy anymore, so they poisoned your concubine. I still have the same question. Since they already have someone they can control in the palace, why did they still look for me? Because you invited me out and I agreed, they thought we had feelings for each other and wanted me to marry in to keep an eye on you?"

Xiao Yibai nodded. "That's about right. I haven't even touched that concubine, and she can't enter my courtyard. The information I can provide them is just what I want them to know. If they can't get any useful information, they'll naturally want to find another way."

After having lunch at the palace, Xiao Yibai asked the housekeeper to bring the deeds of some shops in the palace.

"Miss Mu, you said the other day that you wanted a shop. These are all the shops under my name. Take a look and see if there is anything you like. Uncle Fu, please tell Miss Mu about these shops."

Uncle Fu was the housekeeper. He opened a title deed and was about to speak when Mu Xiyue stopped him.

"Your Highness, your shop is making money normally. It's not suitable for me. I want to open an art gallery, but it may not be profitable."

Xiao Yibai asked, "What is an art gallery? What kind of shop do you need, and how big does it need to be?"

Mu Xiyue thought for a moment and said, "The art gallery is where all kinds of performances are performed. Guests need to buy tickets to enter and watch. The gallery can also sell tea, cakes, etc."

The housekeeper interrupted, "Miss Mu, are you talking about dancing and playing the piano? You can enter and watch these music halls on Nan'an Street without a ticket."

Mu Xiyue had never been to a music hall. "What kind of things are there in that music hall?"

The housekeeper said, "They are just dancing girls who play the piano and sing. Customers can ask the girls there to accompany them for drinks, but the girls in the music hall only sell their skills, not their bodies."

Mu Xiyue understood. "The art gallery I want to open is different. Dancing, playing the piano, and singing aren't very appealing. My art gallery has a wide variety of programs, including storytelling, crosstalk, quick-paced singing, sketches, and talk shows. Of course, there will also be piano playing and singing in between. Your Highness, are you interested in investing?"

Xiao Yibai was actually interested. It sounded very interesting, but, "What do you mean by investing?"

"Investing in shares means we work together, contribute money and effort, and share the profits."

Xiao Yibai nodded, "Okay, then how exactly do we cooperate?"

Mu Xiyue was a little embarrassed. "Your Highness, I don't have much money on hand. The compensation you promised me this time is my investment. You will provide the shop and the required money. You will also find the people in the art gallery. I will give you advice and train you artists. How about that? I won't take advantage of you. We will split the profits 30% to 70% in the future, and I will take 30%."

From an investment perspective, the two were equally invested. Xiao Yibai had already agreed to give Mu Xiyue a shop, so it was Xiao Yibai who provided the money. Xiao Yibai arranged the artists for the art gallery, while Mu Xiyue had to come up with all the ideas for the shows and the gallery's operations. This was considered a technical investment, so the two of them were equally invested.

She had considered that Mu Xiyue would only take 30% of the profits. The business of such an art gallery would certainly be good. If one wanted to run the art gallery safely in Shangjing City, it would be difficult to gain a foothold without a big figure behind him. Therefore, this art gallery had to rely on Xiao Yibai's power to continue to operate.

Xiao Yibai certainly understood Mu Xiyue's concerns, and he didn't refuse Mu Xiyue's offer of a share of the profits. "Uncle Fu, I remember that the teahouse on Nan'an Road wasn't doing very well. Can you find the title deed and show it to Miss Mu?"

The property deeds of the Tianqi Kingdom all contain a simple floor plan of the house, marking the size and location of the house.

Mu Xiyue took the title deed and looked at it. The teahouse had two floors. According to the Tianqi Kingdom's length and width units, the floor area was 250 square meters, or 500 square meters across the two floors. This teahouse was already quite large in Shangjing City, where every inch of land was valuable. Furthermore, the layout of the house was also very good, so no major changes were needed.

When Xiao Yibai saw her close the deed, he asked, "How is this shop? Is it suitable for use?"

Mu Xiyue was very satisfied. "Not bad. How could you use such a big house only as a teahouse? Isn't it a bit of a waste?"

The housekeeper explained, "Our palace already has a restaurant and a brothel on Nan'an Street. Since we didn't have anything else to open, we decided to open a teahouse."

I didn’t expect that the palace even had a brothel.
