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

"Tch, what a lousy song! Even the title sounds awful!"

The eldest princess watched Chu Qingci's departing figure and couldn't help but snort coldly.

Jiang Xiaobai stood to the side, his face full of helplessness.

That's right. Right now, whether it's the Eldest Princess subtly criticizing Chu Qingci, or Chu Qingci turning around and subtly criticizing the Eldest Princess, the one who ends up getting caught in the crossfire seems to be him!

What did he do to deserve this?!

Tang Ningshuang stood aside, looked at the Princess, then at Chu Qingci's departing figure, and finally shook her head gently.

They mustn't get involved in this!

Just then, the princess suddenly glanced at Jiang Xiaobai and said, "You..."

"Oh, don't worry, Princess, I didn't hear anything!"

Jiang Xiaobai quickly responded with a sentence.

But after saying that, Jiang Xiaobai realized something was wrong and immediately corrected himself, saying, "No, it's a little maid!"

"Ahem, well... I'm a little tired, I'm going to rest now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xiaobai turned around and rushed towards the room.

"Oh dear, young master, don't run away!"

The princess snapped out of her daze, watched Jiang Xiaobai's retreating figure, gritted her teeth, and chased after him: "This palace... no, this servant will give you a good shoulder massage!!!"

"Hey, my brother Jiang, you're really popular!"

Chen Jian stood behind them, watching their departing figures, his face full of admiration.

After saying that, his gaze fell on Tang Ningshuang and he said, "Miss Tang, do you also have feelings for my brother Jiang...?"

"Get out of here, I have absolutely no interest in him!"

Tang Ningshuang's expression tightened, and after speaking, she left as well.

Chen Jian stood there, scratched his head, and could only turn around and go to another room.

……

As night fell, the temperature on the mountain began to cool down.

After dinner, Jiang Xiaobai sat alone in the courtyard, lost in thought.

During this time, a cool breeze blew by, making him feel indescribably comfortable.

"What are you thinking about?"

Just then, a voice rang out from the side, startling Jiang Xiaobai.

He looked up and saw the eldest princess standing beside him.

Seeing the woman looking at him with a puzzled expression, Jiang Xiaobai smiled and said, "Oh, it's nothing!"

"I'm just wondering what the Northern Yu delegation is really doing at Cangfeng Sect!"

At this point, Jiang Xiaobai looked at the Princess and asked, "Do you know?"

"I don't know!"

The eldest princess shook her head.

Not sure?

Jiang Xiaobai shrugged helplessly.

He didn't really believe that, but there was nothing he could do; since the other person didn't want to talk about it, he couldn't press them for an answer.

"Jiang Xiaobai!"

At this point, the eldest princess changed the subject, saying, "Using this nighttime setting, if you were asked to compose a poem, what kind of poem could you write?"

"Write a poem?"

After listening, Jiang Xiaobai pondered for a moment and then recited: "The bright moon rises over the Tianshan Mountains, amidst the vast sea of ​​clouds; the long wind blows for tens of thousands of miles, passing through the Jade Gate Pass!"

"This poem is just passable, I suppose!"

As she spoke, the princess glanced at the distant mountain peaks by the moonlight.

The bright moon hangs between the peaks, truly matching the scene in the poem.

Especially the line "The wind blows for tens of thousands of miles," it sounds very expansive.

"Just passable?"

Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, it's just passable!"

The eldest princess nodded slightly.

Jiang Xiaobai laughed out loud, pondered for a moment, and then spoke with a smile.

"The mountain moon shines silently on the evening courtyard, and a gentle breeze carries dew through the sparse woods."

"If you ask about the most beautiful women in the world, half of them are Yun Shu and the other half are Qing."

The princess was still savoring the first two sentences.

But when the name "Yun Shu" was heard, the princess's expression froze.

That's right, she could tell at a glance that Jiang Xiaobai was praising her under the moonlight in the last two sentences.

Especially the last word "卿" (qing), it seemed as if it was spoken to her alone in the moonlight of the courtyard.

"Hey, this poem is great!"

The princess's eyes immediately curved into a smile, and she exclaimed, "Young master, what a talent for poetry! Come... let me give you a good massage!"

After saying that, he placed his hands on Jiang Xiaobai's shoulders.

Jiang Xiaobai thought this woman was going to take revenge on him again, but he didn't expect her strength to be just right.

"How is it?"

The princess leaned slightly forward, her voice whispering in Jiang Xiaobai's ear, "Is my cooking alright?"

"It's acceptable, it's acceptable!"

Jiang Xiaobai mimicked the princess's tone and replied with her eyes closed.

Upon hearing this, the princess immediately pressed her finger heavily on Jiang Xiaobai's shoulder.

"hiss!"

Jiang Xiaobai's lips twitched in pain, and he quickly corrected himself, saying, "Excellent! Truly unparalleled in the world!"

"Hmph, that's more like it!"

The princess snorted coldly, and the force in her hand eased again.

The courtyard became quiet at this moment, and the atmosphere was slightly gentle.

The princess, unusually, didn't cause any more trouble. She simply stood behind Jiang Xiaobai and quietly massaged his shoulders.

But this tranquility was soon broken, as footsteps could be heard again outside the courtyard.

The two looked up at the same time and saw a disciple of the Hidden Edge Sect walking in from outside.

After the disciple entered the courtyard, his gaze fell upon Jiang Xiaobai: "Young Master Jiang, there are people from Yipintang outside, looking for you!"

"Yipintang?"

Jiang Xiaobai was somewhat surprised.

He Changgeng has already left, and it seems that only three disciples remain.

But why did this disciple suddenly come to him?

Although puzzled, Jiang Xiaobai nodded and said, "Okay, let him in!"

"yes!"

The disciple of the Hidden Edge Sect responded and left.

Not long after, a man walked in from outside the courtyard.

This person has a very ordinary appearance; he's the kind of person who would be hard to notice if thrown into a crowd.

Strangely, the man was tall and had an imposing presence as he walked, which was somewhat inconsistent with his ordinary appearance.

"Young Master Jiang, I apologize for disturbing you!"

The man approached Jiang Xiaobai, cupped his hands in greeting, and smiled.

"Hmm, may I ask what brings you here?"

Jiang Xiaobai asked curiously.

He initially thought He Changgeng had left some message, but just then, the man took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Xiaobai.

"This letter was... entrusted to me to deliver to you!"

"A gift for me?"

Jiang Xiaobai was surprised upon hearing this, and immediately stood up to take the letter.

But after taking a look, Jiang Xiaobai found that the envelope was completely blank.

There was no name, and no signature was left!

Jiang Xiaobai was even more puzzled by this, and looked up at the man again, saying, "Could you tell me... who sent this letter?"

The man did not respond after hearing this, but simply smiled kindly, bowed, and left.

what?

Jiang Xiaobai looked at the man's back with a somewhat surprised expression.

Only after the man left the courtyard did Jiang Xiaobai turn his gaze away, glance down at the letter in his hand again, and then open it.

But after watching for only a short while, Jiang Xiaobai's eyes widened.

Immediately afterwards, he stood up from his seat...
