Don't panic, nephew. I will take this pot of evil star.

Prime Minister's House.

"Prime Minister, will His Majesty blame us for not coming to the palace banquet tonight?" The Prime Minister's wife was helping her Prime Minister change his clothes. Tianxu showed up in the afternoon, then hurried out again, saying that he had something urgent to do, and explained that he could not attend the palace banquet.

Feng Linshang's eyes suddenly opened, "Nian'er, His Majesty is not that free. This palace banquet is to receive the envoys from the Chu Kingdom. It has nothing to do with Tianxu."

"Well, that's good. I wonder what Tianxu is busy with? Is he back now?" Ning Nianqiao looked towards the door, as if she wanted to go to Qingxiyuan to take a look.

Feng Linshang frowned, "Nian'er, Tianxu is grown up now, it's time for you to let go. He must learn to take responsibility on his own."

Ning Nian and Qiao Feng glared and punched the Prime Minister in the chest, "Why is it that I'm worried about my son and that's not okay?"

"Why don't I see you worrying about Xier?" He looked down at her.

"That girl has become a princess, and her status and position are almost catching up with yours. What is there to worry about?" She had no feelings for Feng Xili and didn't even want to mention her.

He frowned. He used to think that Nian'er was pretty nice to Xier, but why did he feel that she was hostile to Xier recently?

"Prime Minister, tell me, His Majesty suddenly and inexplicably conferred the title of princess on that girl. Does he want her to marry somewhere?" Before he could say anything, Ning Nianqiao leaned over to his ear and whispered.

The Prime Minister was startled, a spark of anger rising in his heart, "Nian'er! What nonsense are you talking about? Can you just guess what His Majesty is thinking?"

"What are you yelling about? Aren't there people coming from the Chu Kingdom? His Majesty has appointed another princess for no reason, isn't it just to let her go in marriage?" She glared at him. She was just making a random guess, so why was he so excited?

He sighed, "Your Majesty specifically mentioned Xier at the banquet today. The implication is very clear. Xier is already half a member of the royal family. You should try not to conflict with her in the future."

He looked at his wife meaningfully. Although he didn't know Xier's life experience, Ning Nianqiao knew that she was not his daughter.

However, His Majesty summoned Xier privately that day, and conferred the title of Princess on her shortly afterwards. It seems that His Majesty has confirmed it, but why not announce it to the world?

This way Xier can have a legitimate reason.

"Since she is already a princess, why does she still live in the Prime Minister's Mansion?" She was confused and felt uneasy.

"Well, His Majesty hasn't given her a separate residence, so it won't hurt us if she continues to live in the Prime Minister's Mansion, right?"

He suddenly thought that Lanshang Garden seemed a bit remote and small, and it was time to move her to another yard.

"It's late, take a rest." He looked at her unhappy face and decided to arrange for Xier to move to another yard himself.

As the east was about to brighten, Feng Tianxu walked into his Qingxi Garden in the morning dew. After a simple bath and change of clothes, he went to his mother's room.

Ning Nianqiao saw that although his son's face was a little pale, he didn't seem to be seriously injured, so he didn't ask any more questions.

"Miss, the young master is back and is now in the lady's room." Xia Feng reported in a low voice.

"Okay, get up." I didn't sleep much last night. On the one hand, I was worried about Tianxu, and on the other hand, I was shocked by my own boldness.

"Sister, is there any breakfast left? I haven't eaten yet." The meal had just been placed on the table, and before she sat down, she heard brisk voices outside the door.

"You can be a police dog with this nose." She scolded with a smile, feeling relieved.

"What police dog?" Feng Tianxu was dressed neatly and looked in good spirits.

"It's nothing, sit down and eat together." She glanced at him several times without leaving any trace. Since Old Ye had also examined him, there should be nothing wrong.

"Tianxu, let me reiterate, from now on, when you go out, protecting yourself is the most important thing, understand?"

The scene of Tianxu holding her and falling down was too scary. It was just a rumor about martial arts masters.

"Only when you are safe can you help others to the best of your ability, right?"

She was really worried that Tianxu was too kind and would save everyone he saw. If he really hurt herself one day, how sad would she be?

"Sister is not someone else, she is the person I care about the most." He looked serious.

Feng Xili was stunned, feeling confused. Did he have a sister complex?

She smiled warmly and said, "I know you are really good to my sister, but you can't ignore yourself. If you get hurt because of me, I will not be able to rest in peace."

"If you care more about yourself, I'll be very happy. When you have your own wife and children in the future, they will definitely come first, understand?"

He looked at her without saying anything, lowering his head like a wronged puppy.

She felt so soft-hearted instantly, but she really, really hoped that her brother could grow old with his wife and spend the rest of his life supporting each other.

"Tianxu, I hope you can understand that your parents and relatives are just passers-by in your life. They will all be buried in the earth one day. But your wife is the only one who will be with you for the rest of your life. Promise me that no matter who she is in the future, once you marry her, you will be responsible for her until the end, okay?"

She took his hand, placed it on her knee, and gently patted the back of his hand.

He unconsciously clenched his fists. Wife? For a man like him, not getting married would only be a way of showing responsibility to others!

"Sister..." He endured it with great difficulty, and the injury on his lower back began to ache again.

Seeing sweat on his forehead, she was surprised, "What's wrong? Why are you sweating so much?"

He blocked her hand that was about to wipe his sweat, and said through gritted teeth: "Sister, I'm hungry. I haven't eaten since last night."

"Ah!" she exclaimed, smiling awkwardly, "Sorry, sorry, I've been a bit too talkative. Come on, come on, my meals are now much better!"

She helped him set the table and even thoughtfully picked out a few of his favorite dishes.

He gritted his teeth and gasped a few times, suppressing the bitterness and pain, and quietly finished his breakfast.

Royal study room.

Emperor Qi Zhao looked at the letter in his hand and felt that the world was so big that there were all kinds of wonders.

His imperial concubine and the fifth princess of Chu State were actually cousins? It was no surprise that the two looked somewhat similar.

But the more he looked at the portrait of Mu Lingyin, the weirder it seemed to him. She looked more and more like the little glutinous rice dumpling he met when he was young. Suddenly, an incredible idea flashed through his mind.

"Ford, go and invite the princesses." He put away the letter, leaned back in his chair, and took out the small portrait that he had been hiding close to his body.

Emperor Qi Zhao summoned them into the palace one by one. Princess Yihe was the most delighted among them. She was of the right age, had the most noble status among the five, and had the most outstanding appearance.

If His Majesty were to choose a concubine, she would definitely be the first choice.

However, she was politely sent back less than half an hour after entering the palace. Princess Yunping, who came with her, was a bit childish and was extremely happy to be rewarded with a lot of delicious food and drinks.

She returned to the inn angrily. As soon as she entered, the servant behind her whispered in her ear, "Princess, the others only stayed for half a cup of tea, and only Mu Lingyin stayed for an hour."

"What? Mu Lingyin?"
