The whole family is obsessed with love? The princess woke them up one after another.

"If nothing unexpected happens, they should be here soon." Qi Zhiyu finished speaking, a slight smile playing on her lips. "They're here."

Prince Xin was surprised, and then...

"Big brother, aren't you surprised at all?"

Prince Rui sighed, then looked at Prince Xin and chuckled, "Second Prince, look at you, so naive and unsophisticated."

King Xin: "..."

What exactly is he coming back for?

He has to endure all the eye-rolls from his father and elder brother, since he has nowhere to put them.

That's good. After living for almost forty years, he finally knows what his purpose is—to be despised and disliked.

"If you had a daughter like this, always surprising you, you'd get used to it and wouldn't be surprised anymore." Prince Rui's eyes and brows were full of smug smiles.

He looks like he deserves a beating no matter how you look at him.

Prince Xin: "...Brother, don't you already know?"

"Don't know what's going on?" Prince Rui sneered. "Even if you don't know, it's all in my daughter's hands!"

King Xin: "..."

So what exactly is his older brother showing off?

What does it have to do with his older brother?

Qi Jingsheng silently lowered his head; his father could remain silent.

His usually calm and reserved father suddenly seemed thirty years younger when he was with his uncle.

"Your Highness." A guard knocked on the door of the study.

After receiving permission, the guard entered.

Prince Xin thought to himself, if his niece were his daughter, he would probably be even more smug than his elder brother.

His eldest niece's words not only foresaw the progress of events outside, but also indicated that someone was approaching nearby.

The key point is... none of the people in the room noticed.

They all practice martial arts!

He also went to the battlefield.

No wonder, when he went to the battlefield he led troops to kill the enemy, while his eldest niece directly captured the king first, such as taking down the Prince of Northern Yunnan.

They're not on the same level.

The difference between the world and his eldest niece... well, there's no comparison at all.

After the guards entered, they bowed and reported, "Your Highness, a jade Buddha statue about half a person's height has been found near the collapsed cave."

"When the jade Buddha appeared, its light shone brightly."

Prince Xin frowned: "The Buddha's light shines everywhere?"

He then turned to look at Prince Rui, only to see his elder brother asking without the slightest emotional fluctuation, "Where is the Jade Buddha?"

"We've already sent people to inspect it and sealed it up," the guard reported.

"Daughter." Prince Rui looked at Qi Zhiyu.

Qi Zhiyu waved her hand: "Clean it up and send it to the palace for my grandfather."

"My grandfather is getting old and likes auspicious and festive things."

King Xin: "..."

Is that thing just a lucky charm in his eldest niece's eyes?

"Yes." The guard bowed and left.

"Sis, what's going on?" Qi Jingxi had been holding it in for a long time, but she couldn't hold it in any longer.

"They set a trap to lure me over. Once I got there, I collapsed the cave and then did a water-on-fire thing, which everyone found amazing," Qi Zhiyu explained simply.

"They should have already retrieved what was in the pool."

"By the way, let the world know that because of this monster, the heavens sent down strange phenomena as a warning, and at the same time, in order to suppress me, they exhausted the spiritual energy of rare and precious materials."

"In this way, those who want talismans will be left without them and will inevitably harbor resentment, which will incite public anger and lead to a joint attack on me."

Qi Jingchen nodded, and each matter was matched up one by one.

If it weren't for his sister, the person King Wu and his group were dealing with would have been no problem at all.

Unfortunately, they were facing his sister, which made things rather... tragic.

All those rare and precious materials were created by his sister.

From the very beginning, the foundation laid by the King of Wu and his allies was flawed. What use would it be for them to add anything further?

It's all a waste of effort!

"Sis, what does 'blocking both ends' mean?" Qi Jingxi didn't quite understand.

Qi Zhiyu smiled: "A jade Buddha."

"The jade Buddha was a lure that drew me there, and at the same time, it was also a tool they used to slander me."

"Why is there a jade Buddha bathed in light? Isn't it because Buddha manifested his power and lured this demon like me there?"

Qi Jingxi's face immediately darkened: "You bastard!"

"Yu'er, why does that Buddha statue emit a halo?" Qi Jingsheng asked curiously.

Prince Xin looked at his son speechlessly. Was that the important thing?

"It's probably made of a special material," Qi Zhiyu said casually. "It doesn't react in the dark, but when it's exposed to sunlight or something else, it will glow."

Qi Jingsheng nodded to indicate that he understood.

"Soon, the news that I am a prodigy will spread far and wide, putting pressure on my grandfather," Qi Zhiyu said with a light laugh.

"The events in the mountains were just so coincidentally witnessed by the local people who came up the mountain, and then the news spread."

"My dear niece, shall we expose them from behind?" Prince Xin asked.

Anyway, this lie is easy.

"Let's see what other hidden agents the King of Wu has," Qi Zhiyu said. "We'll dig out as much as we can."

She's serious about getting freebies!

"Let Prince Ning and the others go first. They'll be eager to go back once they get the rare treasures anyway." Qi Zhiyu tapped her fingers lightly on the table.

"At that time, keep an eye on how they secretly contact the King of Wu's people."

"Wait until we find evidence that the King of Wu is colluding with the enemy..."

Qi Zhiyu's lips curled up in an excited smile: "Then we can send troops to Northern Yunnan!"

Prince Xin and Qi Jingsheng exchanged a glance, the same thought popping into their minds—Yu'er, well… I'm quite excited!

Qi Zhiyu explained what she had prepared before deciding how things would proceed, and then left the rest to her.

She left the study and went back to her own courtyard.

I went for a trip to the mountains, and it was quite tiring.

She needs to rest.

Prince Xin and Qi Jingsheng did not leave until more than an hour later.

Upon returning to Prince Xin's residence, Prince Xin glanced at him and asked, "Why did you seem so preoccupied on the way back?"

"Any problems with the tasks I'm assigning you later?"

"No." Qi Jingsheng shook his head.

If he can't do those things well, then he shouldn't even be seen by anyone.

"Father, have you noticed?" Qi Jingsheng asked cautiously.

"What?" Prince Xin thought for a moment. Could it be that there was some oversight in what they had just discussed that he hadn't noticed?

Qi Jingsheng said in a deep voice, "Yu'er is in charge of the Prince Rui's residence."

Prince Xin looked at him with suspicion.

Qi Jingsheng continued, "After Yu'er finished giving her instructions, the guards didn't even ask for permission from their uncle before they went to carry them out."

Prince Xin snorted coldly: "Even if Yu'er isn't my daughter, she can still be the head of Prince Xin's mansion when it matters."

Qi Jingsheng was startled, but then realized that his father made sense.

When it came time for Yu'er to need to use the Prince Xin's mansion, they naturally cooperated unconditionally.

"Not to mention the Prince's Mansion, even your imperial grandfather wanted Yu'er to be the head of Da Rui. It's just a pity that she wouldn't agree." Prince Xin sighed regretfully.

Qi Jingsheng: "...Dad, are you quite disappointed?"

"Nonsense!" Prince Xin glared. "Who wouldn't want to sit back and reap the benefits?"

Qi Jingsheng: "..."

Is it really okay to say things like "I don't want to work hard" so openly?
