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

Half an hour later.

Outside the main gate of the Prime Minister's residence, Jiang Xiaobai boarded the carriage, lifted the curtain, and waved to Li Zhiwei, saying, "Let's go back!"

"I'll come over to kiss you when I have time... oh, no, I mean to come see you!"

"Hey, hurry up and go!"

Li Zhiwei stomped her foot and gritted her teeth.

Despicable person!

"Ha ha!"

Jiang Xiaobai laughed heartily twice. As the carriage curtain was lowered, Zhang Xinnian also cracked his whip, and the carriage slowly left the Prime Minister's residence.

As Li Zhiwei watched the carriage depart, her expression softened.

Just then, Lin Qinrou appeared on the side, smiling, "Still looking? Everyone's gone!"

"No way!"

Li Zhiwei snapped out of her daze and noticed Lin Qinrou; her brows furrowed with shyness once more.

……

On the other side, on the way back, Jiang Xiaobai's gaze remained strange the entire time.

Indeed, the princess was wearing a bamboo hat, so it was impossible to tell anything from her, but Tang Ningshuang would glance at him from time to time.

That gaze... was clearly a little off.

At first, Jiang Xiaobai pretended not to notice, but after it happened several times, he couldn't stand it anymore: "Miss Tang, you're alright... why are you glaring at me like that!"

"Ha ha!"

Before Tang Ningshuang could speak, Zhang Xinnian's laughter suddenly came from outside: "Young Master, in my opinion, Miss Tang must have taken a liking to you. Seeing you with Miss Li... hey, she's jealous!"

That's right, he was standing outside at the time and could see it clearly.

When Jiang Xiaobai hugged Miss Li and kissed her, Tang Ningshuang's expression clearly changed.

But Zhang Xinnian's words had barely faded when...

Whoosh!

A long sword pierced through the carriage in an instant.

The sword, carrying a sharp edge, was pressed against Zhang Xinnian's neck.

hiss!

Zhang Xinnian gasped, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

"Hmph, would I possibly fancy your young master?"

Tang Ningshuang's voice was filled with anger: "What a joke! Whoever I fancy, I would never fancy him!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Zhang Xinnian swallowed hard and quickly nodded, "Miss Tang is right, I was talking nonsense!"

Tang Ningshuang snorted coldly before sheathing her longsword.

Clang!

As the sound of the sword being sheathed faded, Zhang Xinnian, sitting outside, didn't dare to say a word.

Inside the carriage, Tang Ningshuang glanced at Jiang Xiaobai and said, "I just can't stand some people bullying us women!"

After saying that, Tang Ningshuang let out another heavy, cold snort.

Jiang Xiaobai glanced at the sword in Tang Ningshuang's hand, swallowed hard, lifted the curtain, and looked outside.

Upon seeing this, the eldest princess's lips curled slightly.

This guy has his moments of fear too!

……

The next day, just as dawn broke, Jiang Xiaobai was pulled out of bed by the Princess.

Change clothes, straighten your collar, and fasten your belt.

The current princess is much more skilled than before.

Even Jiang Xiaobai had to admit to being a professional.

But he had one concern: if the princess stayed with him for too long, would she develop any professional habits?

That would be so embarrassing!

Also, how long does this princess intend to stay with him?

With a sigh, Jiang Xiaobai greeted Tang Ningshuang and they walked out of the room together.

As soon as I arrived in the courtyard, I saw a figure standing there.

It was Jiang Jingcheng.

"Father!"

Jiang Xiaobai greeted Jiang Jingcheng.

"Um!"

Jiang Jingcheng responded, then looked at Jiang Xiaobai solemnly and said, "This morning at court, delegations from both countries will be visiting. You must be careful and cautious, and don't fall into their trap!"

Although it was said to be a delegation from two countries, it was ultimately mainly from Beiyu.

With the delegations from both countries now visiting the capital, the people of Beiyu will undoubtedly try every means to target the Zhenbei Marquis's residence.

As his only son, Jiang Xiaobai naturally becomes a primary target.

"I know, Father!"

Jiang Xiaobai noticed Jiang Jingcheng's worry and smiled slightly, "Just wait for my good news!"

"Um!"

Jiang Jingcheng nodded, then looked at Tang Ningshuang: "Ningshuang, I'm entrusting Xiaobai to you!"

"Don't worry, Uncle Jiang!"

Tang Ningshuang nodded respectfully, her expression earnest: "As long as I'm here, I won't let anyone hurt him!"

"good!"

As Jiang Jingcheng nodded, he waved his hand and personally escorted Jiang Xiaobai to the outside of the Marquis's residence.

After Jiang Xiaobai boarded the carriage, Zhang Xinnian did not linger. He cracked his whip and rode towards the palace.

Jiang Jingcheng stood outside the Marquis's residence until the carriage had completely disappeared from sight before withdrawing his gaze. He raised his hand, and a general quickly stepped forward, bowing respectfully: "My Lord Marquis!"

"Okay, go and investigate where the delegations from both countries are staying!"

Jiang Jingcheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

"yes!"

The general straightened his expression, turned around, and quickly left.

……

On the carriage.

Jiang Xiaobai leaned against the wall, looking thoughtful.

What is his father hiding from him?

However, now that the delegations from both countries are about to enter Beijing, he will soon be able to see what exactly is going on.

Time passed slowly, and half an hour later, Zhang Xinnian's voice suddenly came from outside: "Your Highness..."

Ok?

Jiang Xiaobai thought they had arrived, so he lifted the curtain and looked outside.

He realized that he had indeed arrived near the palace gate, but soon he noticed several figures not far away.

And the one leading the group was Teng Zixiu.

At this moment, several people stood outside the palace gate, waiting for something.

At this moment, Teng Zixiu also noticed Jiang Xiaobai. When their eyes met, his expression instantly darkened.

"Where are you waiting for your two delegations?"

Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but smile when he saw Teng Zixiu's angry gaze.

"Yes, could it be...?"

Suppressing her anger, Teng Zixiu said coldly, "Still waiting for you?"

"oh!"

Jiang Xiaobai drew out a sound with a laugh: "Are you planning to go to court with the delegation, and then personally complain to His Majesty about me?"

"What's wrong?"

A cold smile appeared on Teng Zixiu's face: "Is the young master afraid?"

"Afraid?"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled, but instead of answering directly, he asked, "Could I ask you for a favor?"

"Ha ha……"

Upon hearing this, Teng Zixiu laughed mockingly and said, "What, are you begging me not to sue you?"

"No, no!"

Jiang Xiaobai shook his head and slowly lowered the curtain, his slightly amused voice coming from inside the carriage.

"I'm begging you... to quickly file a complaint against me, I can't wait any longer!!"

"you……"

Teng Zixiu's smile froze instantly.

"Let's go for the New Year!"

Jiang Xiaobai's loud laughter came from inside the carriage.

"Alright!"

When Zhang Xinnian glanced at Teng Zixiu, he sneered, cracked his whip, and the carriage continued to drive forward.

"That's outrageous!"

Teng Zixiu stood there, watching the carriage disappear into the distance, her hands clenching tighter and tighter: "Jiang Xiaobai, you wait!"

"Today... I, Teng, will definitely teach you a lesson you'll never forget!!"
