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

Mu Xiyue showed a sad expression. "Your Majesty, after I left the capital that day, I felt like someone was following me. I was afraid I was mistaken, after all, this was the only official road leading south. After a day of travel, by evening, the two people behind me were still following closely, so I captured them. During the interrogation, one of them confessed that Lord Mu had sent him to follow me, and that Lord Mu had ambushed more than fifty assassins halfway ahead to kill me."

Mu Xiyue looked sad and distressed when she said this. "I had no idea that Marquis Mu disliked me to this extent. I just didn't want to marry that foolish young man from Duke Chen's mansion as he wished. Yet, he sent people to assassinate me time and time again. I thought that if I severed my father-daughter relationship with him, he would let me go, but he still did. Could it be that I dug up his Mu family's ancestral grave in my previous life?"

The Mu family's ancestral tomb is your family's ancestral tomb. The emperor's mouth twitched when he heard this. "Didn't you say that you arrested two people who were following you? What about the other one?"

Mu Xiyue's expression immediately changed into one of indignation. "I get angry just talking about this guy. He doesn't seem to be in the same group as the one sent by Lord Mu, but no matter how much I questioned him, he wouldn't say anything. I don't know who else dislikes me so much. Could it be that I dug up his family's ancestral grave in my past life? I was so angry that I killed them both."

Xiao Yibai had previously told the emperor about Mu Xiyue saving him, and also about the last time he left the city to protect a witness to go to the capital, saying that Mu Xiyue's martial arts skills were not inferior to his.

The Emperor remained expressionless, knowing the skill of his secret guards. Mu Xiyue was speaking so casually, saying she could capture or kill someone at will. The Emperor once again examined the slender woman before him. She showed no signs of internal energy, but she didn't look like a martial arts expert.

However, the Emperor believed that his secret guards would not betray him, so he asked again, "What about the assassins that Marquis Anyuan sent to kill you? Did you encounter them?"

Mu Xiyue looked at the emperor with a strange look, "Your Majesty, knowing that there were so many assassins lying in ambush, how could I possibly take that road? I naturally took a detour. How could the two of us, unarmed and weak, possibly handle more than fifty assassins? I've heard that assassins are very powerful. If there were only five or six of them, I'd really like to see how formidable they are."

Xiao Yibai tried to hold back his laughter while watching Mu Xiyue's performance. It seemed that he had to have a good chat with her. He hadn't seen her for twenty days, and he didn't know how much he had missed from this girl.

The emperor glanced at Mu Xiyue's waist and saw the scabbard of the soft sword. Needless to say, he knew that it was given to him by Xiao Yibai.

"It's not like you're unarmed. Didn't Prince Jin tell you not to bring sharp weapons into the palace?" The emperor's eyes were unfriendly, and judging from his tone, his martial arts skills should be quite good.

Mu Xiyue's heart skipped a beat. Damn it, she had never thought about such a thing. It was understandable that she couldn't bring sharp weapons into the palace, but she really didn't know.

Mu Xiyue turned around and asked Xiao Yibai in a low voice. Although her voice was a little low, it was just soft enough for the emperor to hear.

"Xiao Yibai, why didn't you tell me earlier? Would your father kill me?"

The emperor curled his lips. This girl is quite clever and quirky. No wonder this boy would be attracted to her.

Xiao Yibai pulled the person towards him and moved sideways to block half of the person.

"Father, we came to see you in a hurry. Yueyue doesn't understand these rules. I forgot to tell you that this is my fault. If you are unhappy, just demote me to a commoner."

Being demoted to a commoner again, the emperor laughed in anger and picked up the teacup and threw it at Xiao Yibai.

"Get out of here! I get mad when I see you."

Xiao Yibai reached out to take the teacup and walked to the dragon table to put it down, saying with a grin, "Yes, I'll get out of there."

As he said that, he took Mu Xiyue's hand and walked out.

The emperor roared again, "I only told you to get out, I didn't tell Miss Mu to leave."

Mu Xiyue stopped, turned her head and looked at the emperor with innocent eyes.

The emperor looked at Xiao Yibai holding Mu Xiyue's hand tightly and waved his hand unhappily, "Alright, everyone, leave!"

After the two men left, the emperor didn't even look at the memorial, but just stared at the door in a daze.

Mu Xiyue is very smart. She seems straightforward and generous, but she is also a person who will not suffer any loss. She is decisive, bold and careful in doing things. Her personality is a bit like Concubine Yu, smart and playful.

Concubine Yu is Xiao Yibai's mother and the deepest wound in the emperor's heart, which hurts at the slightest touch.

Thinking of Concubine Yu, the emperor sighed again. Well, it’s rare for Jinzhi to like a woman, so let him do as he wishes!

In the carriage, Xiao Yibai finally had the leisure to talk privately with Mu Xiyue. Xiao Yibai told her all the interesting things he encountered outside.

Suddenly the carriage jolted violently, and Mu Xiyue bumped her head against the wall of the carriage without paying attention. Xiao Yibai was quick to grab her and hold her in his arms.

"Yueyue, are you okay? Qifeng, what happened?"

Xiao Tao and Qi Yun did not follow him into the palace this time. It was Qi Feng who drove the carriage.

Qi Feng's words came in, "Master, a child suddenly ran out and almost bumped into me."

A woman apologized outside the carriage, "Sir, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Xiao Yibai breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm glad you're okay, let's go!"

The carriage continued to move forward. Mu Xiyue almost thought there was an assassin. It was a false alarm. When she wanted to stand up, she realized that she was still being held by Xiao Yibai.

Mu Xiyue felt a little embarrassed and raised her head and said, "Xiao Yibai, I'm fine."

When Xiao Yibai lowered his head, he saw that the person in his arms had red ears and a hint of shyness in her eyes. Her red lips moved seductively when she spoke. He lowered his head and pecked her lips for some unknown reason.

Mu Xiyue's face flushed instantly, "You, you let me go."

It was Xiao Yibai's first time having such close contact with a woman. She was so slender and soft, his heart racing and his body reacting primally. He was thinking, "I've already hugged her. Hugging for a little while is still hugging. Hugging for a little while is still hugging. I didn't want to let go." Yueyue's lips were so soft; he wanted to kiss her again.

Seeing that he was looking at her without saying anything, Mu Xiyue said again, "Let me go, I'm very tired."

Xiao Yibai was afraid that she would be angry, so he had to let her go reluctantly, "Yueyue, I couldn't help myself just now, can you not be angry?"

Mu Xiyue knew that he was talking about the kiss he had given her. "I'm not angry. We're boyfriend and girlfriend. It's normal."

Mu Xiyue forgot for a moment that this was ancient times, and even for engaged unmarried men and women, kissing and hugging was considered abnormal behavior, not to mention that they were not engaged yet.

Xiao Yibai was very happy to hear this. He didn't dare to hug her anymore. He took Mu Xiyue's hand and held it in his palm. "Yueyue, after the matter of Prison Beast Mountain is settled, I will ask the emperor for permission to marry me, okay? We will get married after the summer."

"I'm just an ordinary citizen now. Would the Emperor agree? Also, isn't getting married too soon? After all, it's only been three months since we first met."

Xiao Yibai gently pinched her fingers and said in a very happy voice, "The emperor has already agreed. Yueyue, if you don't want to get married too soon, then we can pick a wedding date a little further away and settle the status first. You are so outstanding, I'm afraid you will be snatched away by someone else."

Mu Xiyue looked at the people with expectant faces and had some ideas in her mind. Before in Xitong Prefecture, Xiao Yibai said that he would ask the emperor for permission to grant the marriage after returning to Beijing, and now he said he would wait for the matter of the Beast Prison Mountain.

Mu Xiyue didn't want to rush into finalizing the status, but she felt that if you didn't sincerely want to do something, you shouldn't agree to it.

"Then let's talk about it after it happens!" Mu Xiyue said, hiding the disappointment in her eyes.

I thought to myself that it was because I had too few interactions with men that I was dazzled by him, so I had to take another look at him.

How could Xiao Yibai not see the disappointment that flashed across Mu Xiyue's eyes, and he naturally understood what Mu Xiyue was disappointed about.

He sighed softly and explained, "You have made an invaluable contribution to this matter at Prison Beast Mountain. When it's over, Father will surely reward you. Although I don't care whether you are a noble lady or a commoner, Father will still care. I have made it clear to Father that I will marry no one but you, so this matter at Prison Beast Mountain is a great opportunity. When it's over, Father will raise your status for the sake of your position as Prince Jin's principal wife, so that the marriage will be more legitimate."

Originally, he wanted to find a godparent for her, but he was afraid that she would not agree. Now, the private soldier thing is just the right opportunity for her to earn a status for herself.

So that's how it is. Mu Xiyue felt relieved. She smiled and said, "I misunderstood you. Although I don't care about status, your status is here. If I have the chance, I should fight for it."

After talking about it, Mu Xiyue's mood returned to its previous bright mood.
