Liu Mei'er returned to her courtyard in a rage. Mu Xiyu was still waiting in her room to hear her words. Seeing Liu Mei'er return, she hurried forward and asked, "Mother, did that bitch bring out the silver?"

Liu Mei'er shook her head, "No, this bitch, one day I will make her like her mother."

After a good night's sleep, Mu Xiyue and Xiao Tao were picked up by the carriage of Prince Jin's Mansion early in the morning.

The carriage swayed slowly towards the farm outside the city, the same farm they visited last time. Mu Xiyue didn't visit it properly last time, and she only took a quick look at the waterfall that day.

In the carriage, Mu Xiyue and Xiaotao sat on one side, Xiao Yibai sat on the other side, and Qiyun sat outside the carriage with the coachman.

Mu Xiyue told Xiao Yibai about what happened at the house in the west of the city yesterday. "I think those people are all okay. They all have their own strengths. We can put together a show. Once we get to know them, we'll see who has talent and have them teach a few apprentices."

Xiao Yibai smiled and said, "The renovation of the art gallery will take at least half a month. You and your people should be able to practice slowly in time. You don't have to go there every day. Don't be too tired."

"I don't have the time to visit every day. Last night, Mu Xiyu sent me an invitation, saying that Princess Qinyang is hosting a flower viewing banquet at the Imperial Manor on the outskirts of the city five days later. Princess Qinyang and I don't even know each other, so why would she send me an invitation?"

"Qinyang holds a flower viewing banquet every year at this time. If you don't want to go, you don't have to. It's not a big deal. However, there are still a few good-natured ladies in the capital. If you go, I can tell you which ones are worth making close friends with."

I didn't expect Xiao Yibai to know so much about the circle of noble ladies. There was something meaningful in Mu Xiyue's eyes.

Xiao Yibai felt uneasy when he was stared at. "What are you looking at?"

Mu Xiyue smiled with a treacherous look on her face, "Your Highness, which of these four girls you praised so highly is the most to your liking? Or are all four of them your candidates for wife or concubine?"

"No, I absolutely do not have such thoughts towards them."

Mu Xiyue also noticed during the days of contact with Xiao Yibai that Xiao Yibai always called himself "This King" in front of outsiders or servants, but always called himself "I" in front of her, and only called himself "This King" when he was angry.

Mu Xiyue teased him deliberately, "No way, you've already praised them so much. Then who else do you like? We're friends, so introduce me to them!"

Xiao Yibai blushed instantly, which made Mu Xiyue even happier. She didn't expect that Xiao Yibai, a grown man, would blush when talking about the person he liked. This was too unexpected. Isn't this a bit too naive?

Xiao Yibai glanced at her, then at Xiao Tao, and said with his head slightly lowered as if he had made up his mind: "The person I like is you, Miss Mu."

Mu Xiyue suddenly stopped laughing. This was even more unexpected. In her two lifetimes, this was the first time a man had said he liked her. It was a bit exciting, okay?

In her previous life, she had just graduated from high school when the world entered the apocalypse. Back then, she was a top student in her class, focused solely on studying hard and getting into a good university, and she had never been in a relationship. After the apocalypse, she remained a top student, leading her team with a single-minded focus on killing more zombies, upgrading their abilities, and striving to survive longer.

After coming to this ancient time for more than a year, she thought she could finally live a carefree life in Mujia Village, as long as she had enough food and clothing. She never thought about getting married here.

She was a little confused by this sudden confession, staring blankly at Xiao Yibai, "Well, don't joke, you are the prince."

She really didn't know what to say and stuttered.

Xiao Yibai saw that her ears were red, which meant she was shy. So should I just go all out?

Xiao Yibai said seriously, "Miss Mu, I really like you. It's not just because you are good at martial arts. You are not like those noble ladies in the capital who are pretentious. It is very relaxing and pleasant to be with you."

Xiao Yibai spoke very seriously, and Mu Xiyue was touched, but she still refused.

"Your Highness, we are not suitable. You are a prince, and it is normal for you to have three wives and four concubines, but I cannot do that. I will never allow my man to have an affair with other women. I think it is good for us to be friends. Although you are of noble status, I am not weak in strength. You will not lose out by being friends with me."

Xiao Yibai thought for a moment before saying, "I only have three concubines in my backyard, and I've never touched them. Give me some time. Now is not the time to deal with them. From now on, no other woman will enter the Prince Jin's Mansion except you. I have no interest in that position. I will only be a prince in the future. I don't like other women getting close to me. You are enough for me in this life."

Mu Xiyue didn't believe this. It would be a shame in this dynasty for a prince to not have three wives and four concubines in his backyard. Besides, life is so long, who can guarantee what will happen in the future!

Seeing that Mu Xiyue didn't say anything, Xiao Yibai continued, "You don't have to respond to me right away. Before you make a decision, we'll still be just friends as before. You need to be cautious with important matters in life, so take your time to think about it."

Mu Xiyue nodded, "Okay, I understand, I will seriously consider it."

Originally, she wanted to ask him to help find out who lives in Mu Fengnian's house in the west of the city, but now Mu Xiyue is not in a position to ask for help. She can't ask someone to help her with something while keeping him hanging. It would seem too unkind.

Xiao Tao treated herself as invisible the entire time, trying to minimize her presence. She was so embarrassed that she could have dug a hole in the wall with her toes. Although the driver and Qi Yun outside the carriage could hear the conversation between the prince and the young lady, the problem was that she was also inside the carriage!

The driver and Qiyun outside the carriage were completely different from Xiaotao. Qiyun smiled like an auntie. The master had finally spoken. His charm was boundless and he would definitely achieve his wish. Miss Mu said she would consider it, so she must have her master in mind. She must be worried that the master would have other women in the future. Alas, what is there to worry about, Miss Mu? With such high martial arts skills, the master would probably not dare to take a concubine.

Qi Yun decided to help his master achieve his wish as soon as possible. He had no other good ideas, so he could only brainwash Miss Xiao Tao more, and then let Miss Xiao Tao brainwash her master.

The carriage finally arrived at the gate of the manor. After they entered the manor, Xiao Yibai took Mu Xiyue to tour the manor first.

Qiyun tugged at Xiaotao's sleeve and mouthed, "Walk slowly, don't disturb me."

Xiao Tao understood and immediately slowed down, then was led off course by Qi Yun. Although they were far away from their masters, they were still within their sight. Otherwise, if the masters needed help and didn't respond, it would be the subordinate's fault.
