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

"..."

Upon hearing the princess's words, Jiang Xiaobai gasped in shock.

Should I have him massage my shoulders?

Needless to say, the princess is simply taking revenge on him!

Tang Ningshuang, standing at the back, glanced at Jiang Xiaobai and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

In her opinion, Jiang Xiaobai deserved it!

While at the Marquis's residence, Jiang Xiaobai would often order around the eldest princess.

It's either a shoulder massage or a leg massage.

Well, now you're getting your comeuppance, aren't you?

Now that her status as the eldest princess has been restored, Jiang Xiaobai is left only to be bossed around!

The officials in the court also began to whisper among themselves.

The Eldest Princess suddenly singled out Jiang Xiaobai; could it be that she wanted to suppress the Jiang family?

The problem is that men and women are ultimately different.

It's rather inappropriate for Jiang Xiaobai to massage the princess's shoulders in front of all the officials, isn't it?

"His Majesty……"

At this moment, Jiang Xiaobai stepped forward, his face full of embarrassment.

But before Jiang Xiaobai could utter her refusal, Xiao Jinxuan's voice rang out first: "Jiang Xiaobai, it's rare for the Princess to request you..."

"Go over there and give the princess a massage!"

"Your Majesty, I..."

Jiang Xiaobai opened his mouth, looking completely bewildered.

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Jinxuan frowned slightly: "You still want to defy the imperial decree?!"

"..."

Jiang Xiaobai gave a wry smile and glanced at the Princess.

All he could see was the princess's eyes, visible through her veil, looking at him calmly.

Jiang Xiaobai felt even more helpless about this.

But the emperor had already spoken, what could he do?

With a sigh, Jiang Xiaobai could only walk forward under the watchful eyes of the entire court.

When Jiang Xiaobai came up behind the princess, he raised his hands and placed them on the princess's shoulders, gently massaging them.

Below the court, many officials, witnessing this scene, wore increasingly strange expressions and began to whisper among themselves.

"Alright!"

Xiao Jinxuan naturally heard the murmurs below. His gaze swept over the crowd, and he interrupted, "The Eldest Princess is of noble birth!"

"Jiang Xiaobai giving Chang Gong a shoulder massage is quite a reward for him!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai's face darkened.

God's amazing reward!

You come over here and try making one yourself!

Of course, Jiang Xiaobai could only think these words in his heart.

After Xiao Jinxuan finished speaking, he looked back at the officials below and continued to discuss matters in the court.

Jiang Xiaobai continued to stand behind the princess, his hands clenching together, his expression full of speechlessness.

In retrospect, this proves the saying that fortunes change!

Ugh, this woman, if she uses her fuller one, he... he really has no way to deal with her!

But this woman's appearance here is quite inexplicable.

Could it be... that she came specifically to get revenge on him?

Just as he was thinking this, the princess suddenly cried out, "Oh dear!"

Eh?

Jiang Xiaobai's heart skipped a beat.

No... what is this woman up to now?

The officials in the court all looked over, and saw the princess raise her hand and gently press it on her shoulder.

Immediately afterwards, a gentle voice rang out: "Young Master Jiang, you're pinching me too hard..."

As she spoke, the princess turned her head slightly, her voice tinged with reproach: "If there's a next time, I won't let you off the hook!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the ministers present looked at Jiang Xiaobai with surprise.

This Prince Jiang... he really has a lot of guts.

How dare you use such force when massaging the princess's shoulders?

"Jiang Xiaobai!"

Xiao Jinxuan glanced at Jiang Xiaobai, frowned, and said, "You better give me a good squeeze!"

"yes!"

Jiang Xiaobai took a deep breath and respectfully replied, "Your Majesty!"

Although he said that, he was actually seething with hatred inside.

Does it hurt?

He used the same amount of force throughout, and it was very light.

This woman... she's clearly doing this on purpose!

While he stared at the back of the princess's head, the princess, sitting in front, had a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth beneath her veil.

You're the one who always orders me around!

Now you know what it feels like, right?

I'll get you! Humph!

Time passed slowly, and the court proceedings gradually drew to a close.

After listening to the last official's report, Xiao Jinxuan responded softly, then remained silent for a moment before speaking, "Now let's talk about the delegations from both countries!"

"Now, the delegations from both countries are approaching... Minister Ding!"

"Your subject is here!"

An elderly man stepped out from the crowd.

This man is none other than Ding Fangtong, the Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial!

"Um!"

Xiao Jinxuan looked at Ding Fangtong and asked, "Do you have any specific arrangements for the arrival of the delegations from both countries?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty!"

Ding Fangtong respectfully replied, "Your subject already has some ideas!"

"explain!"

Xiao Jinxuan nodded.

"After the delegations from both countries arrive in Beijing, we plan to take them for a walk along Chang'an Avenue!"

Ding Fangtong said, "Let them see the prosperity of our Great Hua capital, let them know how peaceful and prosperous the people of Great Hua are!"

"Afterwards... I plan to take them to the Imperial Academy so they can witness firsthand the level of our Great Hua students!"

"It will also let them know that a crude and uncivilized country cannot compare to our great and mighty China!"

"good!"

Xiao Jinxuan listened, his face full of admiration, and said, "Continue!"

"After we get to the Imperial Academy, we'll take them to the Royal Gardens!"

Ding Fangtong respectfully replied, "The royal gardens are exceptionally beautiful, and the buildings within were all constructed by the skilled craftsmen of our Great Hua!"

"This is a perfect opportunity for the delegations from both countries to experience the profound heritage of our Great China!"

"good!"

A look of satisfaction appeared on Xiao Jinxuan's face: "Is there anything else?"

"this……"

Ding Fangtong seemed to be deep in thought when a clear voice rang out: "Your Majesty, your subject has something to say!"

As the voice faded, Jiang Xiaobai turned his head and saw that it was the Eighth Prince, Xiao Jinxiong, who had spoken.

"Tell me about it!"

Xiao Jinxuan glanced at Xiao Jinxiong and spoke.

"If possible, I would like to lead the delegations from both countries to visit the Yipinlou restaurant, a prominent establishment in our capital!"

Xiao Jinxiong spoke up, "Since they've come for border merchants, why not take this opportunity to show them more of what our Great Hua has to offer!"

"If...this succeeds, the profits will be substantial, surely filling the national treasury!"

"good!"

Xiao Jinxuan nodded in approval and looked at Ding Fangtong, saying, "Add this clause!"

"I obey your decree!"

Ding Fangtong responded respectfully.

"Do others have any further thoughts?"

Xiao Jinxuan raised his head and asked.

"Your Majesty, I suggest we take a stroll around the Imperial Guard camp!"

At this moment, the Minister of War stepped forward and respectfully said, "In addition... we can also visit the military base of the Marquis of Zhenbei's residence, so that they can see just how strong the soldiers and generals of our Great Hua are!"

"In that case... it will extinguish the wolfish ambitions of both nations, letting them know that compared to our Great Hua, they are nothing but stray dogs on the roadside, utterly insignificant!"

"well!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan looked at Xiao Jinxiong with admiration: "This arrangement is excellent!"

"Ding Fangtong, add it!"

"Your Majesty, I feel that observing the military camps and terrain is somewhat inappropriate!"

At this moment, Li Bingzhang stepped forward and said, "Military camps and garrisons involve many of the secrets of our Great Hua's military affairs! So... why not change it to a military drill for them to observe!"

After Li Bingzhang finished speaking, Xiao Jinxuan pondered for a moment and said, "That's fine too!"

As he spoke, Xiao Jinxuan raised his head again and asked, "Does anyone else have any ideas?"

After Xiao Jinxuan finished speaking, no one in the room spoke.

"Alright, let's leave it at that for now. Also..."

Xiao Jinxuan spoke again, then looked at Jiang Xiaobai: "Jiang Xiaobai, you are the envoy of the two countries!"

"You will need to accompany them throughout these places; do not neglect their duties!"

"yes!"

Jiang Xiaobai replied helplessly, "Your Majesty!"

After agreeing, Jiang Xiaobai hesitated for a moment, then raised his head again and said, "But, Your Majesty, I have a request!"
