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

Mu Xiyue went to see the sweet potatoes that she had asked Old Man Tian and others to plant last time. The mutated sweet potatoes had very strong vitality at the end of the world, and the survival rate could be said to be 100%.

There is a total of half an acre of sweet potato field. Old Man Tian said that the potato vines grow very fast. He originally wanted to plant more plants, but he was afraid that it would affect the growth, so he only planted this half acre.

It looks like it's growing really well, not much different from what their team planted at the end of the world.

Mu Xiyue had also picked up some books on crop cultivation while buying seeds at the seed shop. She'd read that it was still suitable to plant soybeans. She'd bought the soybean seeds at the beginning of the apocalypse. Because they weren't mutant seeds, she hadn't been willing to plant them after the plants and animals mutated, fearing they wouldn't grow well and would be wasted. But she also couldn't bear to eat them, so she decided to wait until the environment improved before planting them.

Mu Xiyue found the soybean seeds. Soybean seeds are planted in different months, and there are labels on the outside of the sacks, making them easy to find.

I didn't dare plant too many soybeans, fearing they wouldn't grow and would be a waste of seeds, so I planted a small plot first. I didn't plant anything else for now, I'd see if this one could grow in this world, and then plant some other vegetables in the fall.

She stayed at the farm until evening before returning to the city. She happened to meet King Rui's carriage at the city gate, and King Rui's guards stopped Mu Xiyue's horse.

"Miss Mu, our prince wants you to come over and talk."

At this time, there were many people coming in and out of the city gate. Mu Xiyue got off the horse and handed the reins to Xiaotao, then walked to King Rui's carriage and bowed.

"Greetings to Prince Rui. I wonder what the prince wants from me?"

Prince Rui's voice came from the carriage, "Miss Mu, please get in the carriage and talk."

Mu Xiyue refused. "Your Highness, if you have something to say, just say it. I dare not enter your carriage. Please forgive me. Also, Marquis Anyuan and I have long severed our father-daughter relationship. Therefore, I am only Mu Xiyue, not Miss Mu."

Prince Rui didn't seem annoyed. He lifted the carriage curtain and got out. Mu Xiyue took two steps back.

Prince Rui chuckled and looked gentle and elegant. People who didn't know him would think that Prince Rui was someone who was easy to get along with.

"Miss Mu is truly heartless. Lord Mu is your father after all. The blood relationship can be severed at will."

Mu Xiyue's face suddenly darkened, and she said in a cold voice, "He threw me to the countryside to fend for myself when I was little. Now that I'm still alive and growing up, he's poisoned me and sent people to assassinate me. Can such a thing be called a father? Is he worthy of being my father? Your Highness, don't advise others to be kind unless you've experienced their suffering. If you've experienced my suffering, you might not be as kind as I am! I didn't kill him because half of his blood is on me."

Mu Xiyue spoke loudly, and many people looked over.

The gentleness on Prince Rui's face almost couldn't be maintained. When had anyone dared to speak to him with such an attitude and tone?

"Miss Mu is really eloquent. I just said that. Why is Miss Mu so angry?"

Mu Xiyue put away the coldness on her face. "If Your Highness is just here to mock me, then I will take my leave. There are so many people coming and going at the city gate. If it gets out that Your Highness is deliberately making things difficult for a weak and helpless woman like me, I'm afraid it will damage Your Highness's reputation."

She was a weak little girl, more like a tigress than the one who looked like she was about to eat someone. Prince Rui felt that he had lost his mind. When he saw her just now, he wanted to see what was so special about this woman. Ever since Anyuan Marquis's mansion brought her back, accidents happened one after another, and finally Mu Fengnian was inexplicably struck to death by lightning.

Prince Rui watched Mu Xiyue mount her horse, whip her whip, and ride off. He also turned and mounted his horse. This woman must have something special about her, otherwise why would the Fifth Prince be so interested in a country girl? He ordered the attendant sitting next to the coachman, "Xuanming, check Mu Xiyue again, and check it carefully."

Mu Xiyue thought Prince Rui was mentally ill. Did he stop her just to make a few sarcastic remarks? He was simply a scumbag and a beast in human clothing.

Mu Xiyue was not afraid of any conspiracy or trickery from Prince Rui. She would just cover it up. She quickly put the matter behind her and went to Prince Jin's mansion after breakfast the next day.

When Mu Xiyue arrived at the palace, Xiao Yibai was still in the palace and had not returned.

Uncle Fu brought her to Xiao Yibai's courtyard, where the saltpeter had already been placed in the side hall.

Mu Xiyue called Uncle Fu over, "Uncle Fu, did Xiao Yibai say when he'll be back?"

Uncle Fu thought Mu Xiyue was missing the prince, so he smiled and said, "Miss Mu, the prince knows you are coming, and he will definitely come back for lunch."

Mu Xiyue nodded and said, "Uncle Fu asked someone to find two basins for me, one large wooden basin and one smaller copper basin. I want to make ice. If Uncle Fu is free, I hope we can come and take a look."

Making ice? Yesterday, Uncle Fu thought Miss Mu was just asking casually. Could it really be possible to make ice in this summer? He went out and asked someone to bring a basin.

If Mu Xiyue wanted to use ice, she wouldn't even need saltpeter. Her ice ability would make freezing water the easiest thing.

Soon the maid brought over two basins. The wooden basin was probably used for washing clothes and looked very large, while the copper basin was much smaller.

Mu Xiyue asked the maid to take the basin to the small kitchen, leaving only Xiaotao and Uncle Fu, and asked everyone else to leave.

Then he asked Xiaotao to fill both basins with water, put the small basin into the big basin, and let the water in the big basin cover the small basin. Then he added saltpeter into the big basin and stirred it continuously with a thin wooden stick until the saltpeter was completely dissolved in the water.

"Okay, let's come back in another hour. I haven't tried to determine how long it takes to freeze."

Mu Xiyue stood up and spoke. She had also learned physics in her previous life, but she had never tried it herself. However, her memory should not be wrong.

After the morning court today, Xiao Yibai was left in the imperial study, along with Qi Heng, the son of Marquis Jing'an.

Mu Fengnian died suddenly, and the position of commander of the Beijing Guards became vacant. Both the Rui Wang faction and the An Wang faction tried their best to recommend their own people. The ministers who supported Xiao Yibai did not participate in the recommendation because Xiao Yibai was not in the capital.

The emperor was well aware of the positions of these ministers, a fact that had been inevitable throughout the dynasties. As the two factions argued endlessly, the emperor issued a direct decree, appointing Qi Heng as the commander of the Beijing Guard.

At this time, Xiao Yibai and Qi Heng were telling the emperor the results of the investigation into the private soldiers and the plan to encircle and suppress the private soldiers in Prisoner of Beast Mountain.

It was almost noon when the discussion ended. The emperor wanted Xiao Yibai to stay in the palace for dinner, but Xiao Yibai refused.

"Father, Yueyue will come to my son's palace today. I have to go back to have dinner with Yueyue. I will take my leave."

The emperor laughed angrily, "You unfilial son, get out!"

Qi Heng shamelessly insisted on going to the palace with Xiao Yibai, under the pretext of discussing subsequent matters.

When the two returned to the palace, they saw Mu Xiyue sitting in the corridor, one hand supporting her chin with her elbow on the back of the chair, and the other hand holding a book, reading intently.

Xiao Yibai felt warm in his heart. It was a wonderful feeling to have his beloved waiting for him to return home. He walked forward and called out softly.

"Yueyue, have you been waiting for a long time?"
