My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!

"Um?"

Jiang Xiaobai looked slightly surprised when he heard Xiao Jinxuan's words.

No, let the people inside be moved to perform a song?

How the hell can I move him?

It's so far away, I can't even reach it.

They probably can't hear what you're saying.

Isn't this emperor making things difficult for people?

Jiang Xiaobai looked at the pavilion on the island in the lake and frowned slightly.

The pavilion was covered by a white veil, making it impossible to see the people inside clearly.

Not to mention knowing what the other person likes or dislikes.

What is he supposed to do? Is he supposed to shout a few times towards the other side of the lake?

Seeing that all eyes in the courtyard were on him, Jiang Xiaobai remained silent for a moment, then looked up at Xiao Jinxuan and said, "Your Majesty, you may not know, but I like to make my appearance last!"

"So, let everyone try it first."

"If it really doesn't work out..."

Jiang Xiaobai paused, then said, "It's not too late for me to make my move!"

After saying this, Li Bingzhang smiled.

This kid knows how to find a way out.

Xiao Zijin sat beside her, her eyes shining even brighter.

He looked like he was waiting to see some kind of show.

"We've already tried them all."

Xiao Jinxuan glanced towards the pavilion in the middle of the lake: "Even I tried, but... none of us succeeded!"

what?

Jiang Xiaobai paused for a moment, stunned.

Even the emperor tried it?

Logically speaking, once the emperor speaks, no one should refuse.

The people inside are all able to speak; this matter is probably going to be very difficult to handle.

"Jiang Xiaobai, your talent is truly remarkable, as you were able to win first place at Lanting Tower."

Xiao Jinxuan's gaze returned to Jiang Xiaobai: "So... why don't you give it a try!"

"..."

Jiang Xiaobai looked helpless.

Trying is fine, but at least give him a way to try.

Say nothing, just let him be moved?

He didn't know what to do either!

Jiang Xiaobai sat there, his brows gradually furrowing, his gaze occasionally drifting towards the distant pavilion.

The people inside the courtyard remained silent.

Clearly, everyone is waiting to see how Jiang Xiaobai will respond.

Just then, a cold snort rang out: "Hmph, if you can't figure it out, then give up!"

"At worst, people will laugh at you!"

Ok?

Jiang Xiaobai looked up and found that it was Chen Zhanqiu who spoke.

At that moment, Chen Zhanqiu was looking at him with a cold smile.

Jiang Xiaobai was speechless at this.

No, how come... this guy is everywhere?

He's not bothering Chen Zhanqiu right now, but Chen Zhanqiu is deliberately provoking him.

They really don't learn their lesson!

The next moment, Jiang Xiaobai turned his head and looked at Xiao Jinxuan: "Your Majesty, if I could get the people in the pavilion to perform a song..."

"Could we execute Minister Chen?"

"Pfft...cough cough!"

Upon hearing this, Li Bingzhang almost burst out laughing.

However, this occasion was clearly inappropriate, so Li Bingzhang could only cover it up with a cough.

But the corners of her mouth couldn't be suppressed.

The others inside the courtyard were also visibly stunned.

Everyone looked at Jiang Xiaobai with disbelief.

This kid... his first words were to behead the Minister of Rites?

"Jiang Xiaobai!"

Chen Zhanqiu's face twitched violently as he glared angrily at Jiang Xiaobai: "I am an official appointed by the imperial court, holding the position of Minister!"

"Although you claim to be investigating my Ministry of Rites, you have no solid evidence. How can you act in this way!"

"Please grant me permission, Your Majesty!"

Jiang Xiaobai didn't look at Chen Zhanqiu, but continued to look at Xiao Jinxuan.

"you!"

Chen Zhanqiu's expression immediately changed.

This Jiang Xiaobai, does he really dare to ask for permission?

"Your Majesty, Prince Jiang is simply being ridiculous!"

Chen Zhanqiu looked at Xiao Jinxuan, his voice becoming more urgent.

"Alright, alright!"

Xiao Jinxuan waved his hand, glanced at Chen Zhanqiu, and then looked back at Jiang Xiaobai: "Jiang Xiaobai, you really messed around this time."

"Executing a high-ranking official is no trivial matter; we should expect some other reward!"

"Alright!"

Jiang Xiaobai nodded.

Yes, he didn't expect Xiao Jinxuan to actually kill Chen Zhanqiu.

After all, that's unrealistic. But Chen Zhanqiu keeps jumping around every now and then. If we don't straighten him out, he'll probably keep causing trouble.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaobai looked at Chen Zhanqiu, his smile deepening: "Then I will choose another one."

Xiao Jinxuan looked at Jiang Xiaobai: "You speak."

"If I could do that..."

Jiang Xiaobai said, "This time, Lord Chen will simply serve me tea."

Inside the courtyard, there was a moment of silence, and Chen Zhanqiu's face immediately flushed red.

"Jiang Xiaobai!"

Chen Zhanqiu suddenly stood up, glaring angrily at Jiang Xiaobai: "You..."

"If you disagree, you will be executed."

Jiang Xiaobai glanced at Chen Zhanqiu and spoke calmly.

"You son of a bitch..."

Chen Zhanqiu's face was extremely grim.

He was about to unleash a torrent of curses, but he swallowed them back halfway through.

Yes.

This is in front of His Majesty; if he were to actually utter those words, it would be a true breach of decorum.

Moreover, Jiang Xiaobai's father is a beast; he'll draw his sword at the drop of a hat.

Pull out that damn knife!

But he was genuinely afraid, so even though he was furious and wanted to curse, he could only suppress it.

Xiao Zijin sat beside her, her eyes crinkling with laughter as she watched.

This Jiang Xiaobai is really fun!

Xiao Qingheng looked at Jiang Xiaobai, his gaze flickered again, but quickly returned to calm.

The elders in blue robes looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

Li Bingzhang lowered his head and drank his tea.

At this point, it would be best for him not to speak.

But I must say, this tea tastes really good!

"Alright."

Xiao Jinxuan looked at Jiang Xiaobai, then at Chen Zhanqiu, and finally sighed softly.

"Chen Zhanqiu, if Jiang Xiaobai can really do that, then you should serve him tea!"

"Yes... Your Majesty, I obey!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhanqiu's expression was filled with resentment, but since Xiao Jinxuan had already spoken, he could no longer refuse and could only suppress his anger and agree.

After speaking, Chen Zhanqiu sat back down, but his gaze remained somber as he looked at Jiang Xiaobai.

"Jiang Xiaobai, are you satisfied now?"

Xiao Jinxuan looked at Jiang Xiaobai and said.

"Haha, very satisfied!"

Jiang Xiaobai nodded with a smile.

"Then give it a try!"

Xiao Jinxuan raised his hand and gestured again towards the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

"Your Majesty, wait, I have something else to say!"

Chen Zhanqiu suddenly spoke up at this moment.

"What, you want to gain weight?"

Jiang Xiaobai raised his head and said.

"What do you mean by 'adding weight' or 'adding weight'?!"

Chen Zhanqiu spoke up, "I suddenly remembered, you keep saying how great it is that you won, but what about when you lost?"

"Oh, I lost, that's it!"

Jiang Xiaobai spoke up.

"That won't do!"

Chen Zhanqiu's face twitched.

"If it doesn't work, then I won't try!"

Jiang Xiaobai raised his head and looked at Xiao Jinxuan, saying, "Your Majesty, please rescind your order!"
