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

"What?!"

Before Jiang Xiaobai could say anything, Zhang Xinnian's eyes widened in anger: "These two delegations have some nerve!"

"How dare you treat my young master like this!"

That's right, it took them at least half an hour to get from the Marquis's residence to the Court of State Ceremonial.

As a result, the two delegations left without saying a word and departed immediately.

In the end, they even made their heir go find it himself. Isn't that just deliberately playing tricks on them?

The official standing nearby listened, cold sweat pouring down his forehead, but dared not utter a single word.

Jiang Xiaobai's reputation is truly formidable these days.

The Ministry of Justice could surround the city at will, and its officials could kill people at will.

As a minor official in the Court of State Ceremonial, how could he dare to speak recklessly at this time? If he offended this person, he wouldn't be able to handle it.

"never mind!"

Jiang Xiaobai waved his hand, looking calmly at the official, and said, "This is none of your business. Go back!"

He knew he couldn't blame anyone else for this, since Helian Zhaoyue was the one who started it all.

"yes!"

Upon hearing this, the official felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He bowed respectfully to Jiang Xiaobai and immediately turned back to the Court of State Ceremonial.

"Your Highness, what should we do now?"

Zhang Xinnian's gaze returned to Jiang Xiaobai, his face still filled with anger: "The capital is so big, where are we supposed to find them?"

As he spoke, Zhang Xinnian snorted coldly again: "I think they... clearly want to embarrass you, Your Highness!"

Anyone could tell that the two delegations were doing this on purpose.

If Jiang Xiaobai really goes to look for it, he'll be led by the nose, wandering aimlessly all over the capital, and he might not even be able to find it in the end.

However, if they don't seek him out, it wouldn't sound good if word got out that Jiang Xiaobai, as the envoy of both countries, wasn't with the delegations.

Especially in the imperial court, with Meng Xiutang and his people watching, if someone seizes the opportunity and brings it up in court, it will cause a lot of trouble.

The more Zhang Xinnian thought about it, the uglier his face became.

Jiang Xiaobai sat inside the carriage, but he wasn't in a hurry. He seemed thoughtful, and after a moment, the corners of his mouth gradually turned up.

"Since they're causing trouble for us... why don't we just let them come after us?"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xinnian looked on incredulously: "How could they possibly contact us on their own initiative?"

The two diplomatic missions are now clearly avoiding them on purpose.

Under these circumstances, how could they possibly come knocking on our door on their own?!

"Simple!"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and said, "It's New Year's Day, go and spread the message now!"

"There's a group of people impersonating envoys from the Northern Yu and Qi states, swindling and cheating people all over the capital!"

"Also tell everyone that if they encounter this group, do not approach them easily; it's best to stay far away!"

"Then... just go to the nearest government office and file a complaint!"

After saying that, Jiang Xiaobai took out the silver talisman from his person: "With this, the city patrol, the imperial guards, and even the government offices within the city will naturally cooperate with you when they see it!"

"Oh, will this work?"

Zhang Xinnian couldn't help but say.

"Ha, without a receiving delegation, there's no one to prove they're genuine!"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled faintly: "Besides, if a delegation doesn't have a reception envoy, then it's not really a delegation!"

"It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them spies!"

"I understand, Your Highness!"

Zhang Xinnian took the silver talisman, his eyes gradually brightening.

Yes, once this news gets out, the delegations from both countries will likely be suspected no matter where they go.

If someone reports this to the authorities, these people will either have the officials detain them to verify their identities, or they will have to come back to Jiang Xiaobai on their own.

High, it is high!

"Alright, Your Highness!"

Zhang Xinnian carefully put away the silver talisman, then quickly rushed into the Honglu Temple.

Not long after, Zhang Xinnian rode out of the Honglu Temple on a fast horse.

"drive!"

With a loud shout, Zhang Xinnian rode his swift horse and disappeared into the street.

Jiang Xiaobai watched Zhang Xinnian leave before getting back into the carriage. He then looked at Tang Ningshuang and said, "Miss Tang, thank you for your help!"

"Um!"

Tang Ningshuang naturally understood Jiang Xiaobai's meaning. She stepped out of the carriage, sat in the front, picked up the reins, and asked calmly, "So, where are we going now?"

Since we're not going to find the mission, we have to find somewhere to wait.

"oh!"

Jiang Xiaobai thought for a moment, then said with a smile, "Let's go to Chunyue Tower!"

"Spring Moon Pavilion?"

Tang Ningshuang was taken aback; she had never heard of this name before. She immediately asked curiously, "What kind of place is that?"

"Oh, I don't know!"

Jiang Xiaobai said, "I've never been there either, but it seems to be some kind of restaurant or something!"

"So, let's go take a look around!"

As he spoke, Jiang Xiaobai gestured outside, "Come on, I'll show you the way!"

"..."

Tang Ningshuang paused, her hand gripping the reins. "Haven't you been there before?"

"I've never been there, but I've seen it on the street!"

Jiang Xiaobai spoke up.

Tang Ningshuang responded, but ultimately said nothing more. She pulled on the reins, and the carriage slowly drove away from the Honglu Temple.

Inside the carriage, Jiang Xiaobai leaned comfortably to one side, then naturally raised his legs and placed them on the princess's lap.

Of course, he didn't forget to reach out and pat it.

The eldest princess didn't show anything; she simply placed her delicate hands on it and gently kneaded it.

Jiang Xiaobai closed his eyes, his face showing pure enjoyment.

It has to be said that this woman's technique is indeed getting better and better.

At first, the pressure was sometimes light and sometimes heavy, but now, both the force and the position are very comfortable.

Indeed, whatever a person does, it all comes down to practice.

With this thought in mind, Jiang Xiaobai's smile grew wider and wider, and finally he couldn't help but sigh.

The longer he stayed in this place, the more he liked it.

Yes, the past life was certainly wonderful, but nothing compares to this world, which is full of endless fun!

They travel by carriage and are protected by skilled guards.

When you're tired, someone will massage your shoulders and legs...

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaobai's lips curled up, and he couldn't help but hum a little tune.

"Such a small person, yet so successful, always finding joy in simple things..."

The voice came from inside the carriage, and Tang Ningshuang, who was driving, raised her eyebrows slightly.

What kind of strange tune is this?

However, it sounds quite cheerful.

The eldest princess inside the carriage was equally astonished.

She had never heard this song before. Although the lyrics were a bit strange, it was light and fun to listen to.

Especially when paired with Jiang Xiaobai's lazy demeanor, it actually suits him quite well.

Jiang Xiaobai hummed for a while, then felt a soreness in his shoulders, so he sat up and patted his shoulders.

The princess could only move to the back and continue to gently massage Jiang Xiaobai's shoulders.

As the carriage traveled along, and as it re-entered the bustling streets of the capital, the sounds outside gradually grew lively.

The sounds of vendors hawking their wares and pedestrians talking drifted in from outside.

Jiang Xiaobai did not open his eyes, still comfortably enjoying the princess's shoulder massage.

After an unknown amount of time, the carriage slowly came to a stop. Immediately afterwards, Tang Ningshuang's voice, filled with gritted teeth, rang out from outside: "Jiang Xiaobai, you come out here!"

"This is the...fun place you were talking about, right?!"
