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

Xiao Yibai asked, "Yueyue, what do you think?"

Mu Xiyue put down her chopsticks and said, "We haven't told anyone that we're opening an art gallery when we're renovating your teahouse, so no one outside knows we're opening one. I'll go back and tell the people in the house not to mention anything about the art gallery.

If the King of Rui's people want to learn, let them. They can't learn everything just by watching. Send two people to inspect the house from time to time and let them learn slowly. By the time our art gallery opens, they will have learned only half of it at best. If they want to imitate us and open an art gallery, their half-baked skills will be useless.

We're trying to use the performances we've performed publicly to please the Queen Mother at the palace banquet, but that's probably impossible. It would be better for him to focus on this so he can spend less time using devious means to deal with you."

Xiao Yibai smiled and said softly, "Okay, I'll do as you say. Yueyue, have some more shrimp. These shrimp are okay. The fish here are a bit fishy and not as good as the schizothorax. I'll ask the farm to send you a few more schizothorax tomorrow."

As he said that, he peeled a few more shrimps for Mu Xiyue. Mu Xiyue was very uncomfortable and said, "I'll do it myself, you eat too!"

Xiao Yixuan had never seen such a gentle side of his fifth brother. He shook his body. His fifth brother didn't even avoid people when he was getting mad.

Xiao Tao felt a pang of jealousy when she saw this, so she quickly finished her meal and left the table.

Qi Yun had been waiting at the door of the private room since he finished his report. Seeing Xiao Tao coming out, he grinned, "Xiao Tao, have you finished your meal? Are you full?"

Xiao Tao's ears turned red. "Well, I'm full. Have you eaten yet?"

Qi Yun nodded, "I just had a bite to eat with my brothers downstairs when I came back. I have something for you."

As he spoke, he pulled out a paper package from his bosom as if presenting a treasure. He opened the package and found a jade hairpin. "Do you like it? I bought it yesterday evening when I went out to do some errands."

It was obvious that the jade hairpin was not cheap. The jade was transparent and delicate, and the carving was exquisite. Xiao Tao said embarrassedly, "This is too expensive. I can't have it."

Qi Yun smiled and put the jade hairpin in Xiao Tao's hair. "It looks beautiful. I bought it especially for you. When Miss Mu marries the master, I will ask Miss Mu for it, okay?"

Xiao Tao blushed, but still bravely asked, "You, what do you mean?"

Qi Yun said seriously: "Xiao Tao, I like you and want to marry you. Are you willing?"

Xiao Tao already knew the answer, and she also had a good impression of Qi Yun. Now she was naturally very happy to hear Qi Yun say in person that he liked her.

"What if the prince and my young lady don't get together?"

Qi Yun brainwashed her, "No matter whether Master and Miss Mu succeed or not, I like you and want to marry you. If Master and Miss Mu succeed, that would be the best. That way, we can still serve Master and Miss Mu in the future. Don't you think so? You can see how Master feels about Miss Mu. He likes her very much. You can help Master speak well of her more often so that we can be together sooner, okay?"

"Tsk tsk, there's a pair inside and another pair outside, I'm so envious."

The two people were talking in whispers with their heads down, and didn't see Xiao Yixuan come out. Xiao Yixuan came out because he couldn't stand it anymore, but he didn't expect that when he came out, there was also a couple outside.

Xiao Tao was startled when she heard the voice and immediately hid behind Qi Yun, not daring to look up. It would be too embarrassing to be discovered at this time.

Qi Yun looked at Xiao Yixuan with resentment, "Sixth Prince, you scared my Xiao Tao."

Xiao Yixuan raised an eyebrow, "Isn't this my sister Yue's maid? How did she become yours?"

Xiao Tao poked Qi Yun on the back with her finger, signaling him not to talk nonsense. Qi Yun was thick-skinned, and he wanted everyone to know that he and Xiao Tao were a couple.

"Xiao Tao and I like each other. Miss Mu will definitely help us."

"Who said that? What if I don't agree?"

Mu Xiyue walked out of the private room and attacked Qiyun with a smile.

Qi Yun immediately said flatteringly, "Miss Mu, Xiao Tao and I are sincere. Can you help us? Sooner or later, you will have to enter our palace, and Xiao Tao will have to get married sooner or later. If she marries me, she will still be in the palace and can always serve you, right?"

Mu Xiyue snorted and laughed, "Who says I'll have to enter your palace sooner or later? Maybe I'll get bored of playing in the capital after a month or two. If I get bored, I'll take Xiaotao back to the countryside, where I can even hunt a few wild boars for fun."

Qi Yun turned to his master for help, "Master, could you please work harder? My happiness depends on you."

Xiao Yibai turned his head and said to Mu Xiyue, "My guards are all very good. Qiyun has a twin brother named Qifeng, who is more stable than Qiyun. You have also met Jiyun. His medical skills are better than those old guys in the Imperial Hospital. Next time you and Xiaotao go to the palace, I will introduce you to the other guards and let Xiaotao choose."

As they walked and talked, Xiao Yixuan couldn't help laughing so exaggeratedly that all the diners in the lobby looked over.

Mu Xiyue also tried to suppress her laughter, "Okay, Xiaotao, let's pick some more, don't just hang yourself on one tree!"

Qiyun kept looking at Xiaotao, hoping that Xiaotao would stand on his side and say something, but unexpectedly Xiaotao smiled and agreed, "Okay, I will listen to you, Miss."

At this time, they had already walked into the lobby, and it was inappropriate to talk about this topic anymore, so Qi Yun shut up dejectedly.

Mu Xiyue glanced at the hairpin on Xiaotao's head, which she had never seen before. She had a guess in her mind and leaned over to ask Xiaotao, "Xiaotao'er, you didn't seem to have this hairpin on your head when you went out this morning. The jade quality is really good."

Xiao Tao whispered, "Miss, please keep your voice down. He gave this to me. Isn't it really beautiful?"

Mu Xiyue chuckled, "It looks good, Qiyun has good taste."

Qi Yun walked behind the two of them and was happy again when he heard their conversation.

Xiao Yibai was walking in front and heard the conversation between Mu Xiyue and Xiaotao. He thought to himself that after returning, he would go to the warehouse to see if there was any jewelry he could give.

Xiao Yibai had something to do in the afternoon so he went back to the palace first. Mu Xiyue went back to the house again and talked to those people before returning to the marquis's mansion.

Mu Xiyue had just returned to her yard when two men in black climbed over the wall. Mu Xiyue was about to take action when she saw that they were two acquaintances. She quickly retracted her special powers. These two people were the secret guards who had gone to pick up the witness before.

The man in black knelt on one knee and saluted Mu Xiyue, "Feng Jiu (Feng Shi) greets Miss Mu."

Mu Xiyue hurriedly said, "Stand up and talk. You don't have to kneel in front of me."

The two stood up, and Feng Jiu said, "Miss Mu, I sent us here to listen to your orders."

Mu Xiyue nodded. Xiao Yibai sent people over so quickly.

"Okay, thank you both for your hard work. Do you want to stay in the dark or come out in the open?"

The two men replied in unison: "We will follow the young lady's instructions."

Mu Xiyue thought for a moment and said, "Then you should just stay in the dark!"
