The mistress has no feelings, why do you provoke her?

Tian Qi came out of the house looking depressed.

Not only did I get scolded today, but I also have to investigate that damn princess.

He'd never even seen this princess before, so where was he supposed to find clues?

Before I knew it, I had ended up in a tavern.

Tian Qi frowned and muttered, "Bad luck."

He turned around and started to walk back.

Just as he lifted his foot, a smug male voice came from inside: "I am, I am the princess's adoptive father. I will enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future. You are wise to come and show me respect today. You will be rewarded in the future."

The voice sounded somewhat familiar, and after thinking for a moment, Tian Qi turned and went inside.

He was a regular customer of the shop, and just as the waiter was about to go up to greet him, Tian Qi waved his hand and said, "I'm not drinking today, you can go ahead and do your work."

Ignoring the waiter's surprised look, he went upstairs.

He stood at the top of the stairs for a moment, and then he heard the voice come again: "Of course, of course, hehe, I will definitely put in a good word for you with the Prince of Nanyang."

"Thank you very much, Second Master Song. I respectfully thank you."

"Second Master Song, I hope you will give me more opportunities in the future."

After thinking about it carefully, Tian Qi realized that Master Song seemed so familiar.

Where exactly have I seen this before?

He followed the sound and peeked through the crack in the door. He saw Song Chengfu sitting in the room like a nouveau riche.

The table in front of me was laden with delicacies from land and sea.

There was also a beautiful woman by his side.

Tian Qi knew who this guy was. Wasn't this Song Wenjun's second uncle?

He had seen this guy a few times before and knew him.

How did he suddenly become the princess's adoptive father?

As Tian Qi pushed open the door, the people inside were about to reprimand him, but Tian Qi beat them to it, flashing the waist token of the Chu Prince's Mansion: "Get out of here, all of you."

These people were all small business owners in the city who had found a way to establish a connection with the Prince of Nanyang's mansion through Song Chengfu.

It took a lot of money for Song Chengfu to go out drinking with them.

They had only drunk half of it when Tianqi appeared.

When the small merchants saw the waist token of the Chu King's Mansion, they were all terrified and turned pale.

They all rushed out in a panic, as if they were afraid of losing their heads in the process.

Song Chengfu was drunk and staggering. When he looked up, he saw that everyone inside had run away, and the beauty in his arms was gone.

The person in front of me was divided into several shadows, making it difficult to see clearly.

He squinted at Tian Qi and shouted, "Where did this bastard come from..."

*Slap!* Tian Qi punched him in the face.

Song Chengfu cried out and covered his face; the pain brought him back to his senses.

Just as he was about to unleash a torrent of curses, a long knife was placed against his neck.

Tian Qi put one foot on the stool and asked him casually, "Aren't you the second master of the Song family? When did you become the princess's adoptive father?"

He was certain the other party was just trying to freeload, so he showed no mercy whatsoever.

Song Chengfu was so frightened that he almost wet himself, and he sobered up considerably.

Upon recognizing the person before him as Tian Qi, he cried out with a mournful face, "Young Master Tian Qi, spare my life! Spare my life! I really am the princess's adoptive father!"

"Shut the hell up." Tian Qi pushed the knife a little closer to his neck, and blood immediately gushed out. Song Chengfu screamed like a pig being slaughtered, "Spare me, spare me!"

"I know who you are. If you dare to lie again, I'll kill you right now." Tian Qi looked at Song Chengfu with disdain in his eyes: "How could Miss Song have an uncle like you? You've really disgraced the Song family."

Although Song Chengfu was a scoundrel, he still knew the importance of things when faced with a life-or-death situation.

With a mournful face, he said, "My little daughter is the youngest daughter of the Prince of Nanyang who was lost and was only recently reunited with him. I am really not a liar."

Tian Qi was taken aback: "What? Your daughter is the long-lost daughter of the Prince of Nanyang?"

This is too unbelievable.

How could it be such a coincidence?

"I wouldn't dare lie to Young Master Tian, ​​it's really true." Song Chengfu wiped the sweat from his forehead, and seeing that Tian Qi believed him a little, he felt relieved.

This kid looks shrewd, but he's actually easy to fool.

He was easily fooled with just a few words.

Song Chengfu flattered him further, saying, "In a few days, it will be the day my daughter is to be recognized by the prince. A banquet will be held then. If the prince is free, would you do me the honor of attending?"

Tian Qi paused, putting away his sword. It wasn't that he was afraid of Song Chengfu's current status, but rather that he felt this matter was somewhat beyond his expectations.

If Song Wenhui is the daughter of the Prince of Nanyang, then wouldn't the prince's marriage partner become her?

How could she be worthy of being the Queen Consort of Chu?

Tian Qi sheathed his knife and headed outside. He had to hurry and tell the prince the news.

He comes in a hurry and leaves in a hurry.

When Song Chengfu saw him leave, he thought he was scared. After Tian Qi's figure disappeared, he spat angrily: "Pah, you dead lackey, you wait and see. I swear I will not be a man if I do not avenge today's grudge. Ouch, it hurts so much."

Tian Qi rushed towards the Chu King's Mansion, nearly bumping into Lao Bai, who looked somewhat flustered, along the way.

The latter quickly made way for him, adding a reminder: "Don't go in now."

"I have something extremely urgent to do."

Bai Shu withdrew her outstretched arm and thought, "Never mind."

It's important to escape.

With a light touch of his toes, he took flight, disappearing from sight in a few leaps.

Tian Qi ignored Bai Shu, his mind solely focused on currying favor with Xiang Xiao Ji.

Unexpectedly, he was hugged as soon as he opened the door.

"Brother Baishu, you've finally arrived."

The woman in his arms was warm and soft. Tian Qi looked down and was so frightened that he quickly took a step back and pushed her away. He then knelt on one knee and said respectfully, "Greetings, Princess Mingyue."

He spoke respectfully, but in his heart he was cursing Bai Shu to death.

That bastard, he knew Princess Mingyue was in the room, but he didn't even remind him.

The girl wore a yellow dress, looking lively and playful.

She looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, and was incredibly innocent and carefree.

Upon seeing who it was, she pouted and stomped her foot in dissatisfaction: "Tian Qi, it's you? Where's Brother Bai?"

Tian Qi had a bitter pill to swallow, because Princess Mingyue was the eldest daughter of the Grand Princess.

Spoiled since childhood, never getting what they wanted.

It's cute, but it's also really troublesome.

Wherever they go, flowers pave the way, and everything they wear, eat, live, and travel must be top-notch.

Most importantly, this young princess has a lively and unconventional personality and often comes up with whimsical ideas.

He insisted on going to the rooftop to look at the stars in the middle of the night instead of sleeping, and the whole household had to accompany him.

Even so, the eldest princess indulged her and let her have her way, truly cherishing her like the apple of her eye.

Every time I visited the Chu King's mansion, the place would be in chaos and unrest.

Everyone in the manor treated her like an ancestor. Tian Qi felt his scalp tingle whenever he saw Princess Mingyue, and he no longer wanted to serve this living ancestor.

Staying up all night to look at the stars, is that how a human being lives?

"Replying to the princess, Bai Shu, he... he has something to do..." Although Bai Shu had tricked him, Tian Qi still provided some cover for him.

I don't know what's wrong with this little princess's brain. Of all the people she could like, she just had to fall for this blockhead.

But the falling flowers are willing, but the flowing water is indifferent; Bai Shu doesn't like the princess at all.

To be precise, he dislikes contact with any women and wants to run away whenever he sees one.
