Princess, she is the one who facilitated the extradition.

The next day, Xiao Huaijin arrived at Xuanji Tower early.

Gui Yao was still asleep when Mao Dan greeted him. "The Prince trampled the entire entrance to our Xuanji Tower that day."

Xiao Huaijin brewed himself a cup of tea and ignored it.

To avoid suspicion, Qingqing almost never showed herself when he came over. And this bird in front of him could do nothing but use its beak, so he always did things himself in Xuanji Tower.

Mao Dan continued, "Did the prince perform poorly and get disliked by my master?"

It flew around Xiao Huaijin once, "Tsk tsk, looks pretty good, turns out it's just good-looking."

snort!

Anyone who dares to take advantage of its master without a matchmaker or betrothal gift will be ridiculed to death.

"Tamaro."

Xiao Huaijin slowly put down his teacup. "I'm going shopping with Yaoyao later. Is there anything you want?"

Huh?

Not angry?

Do we need to buy it more things?

Oh, I see. It knows its place in its owner's heart and is afraid it won't be able to win the owner's heart, so it wants to bribe it for help.

The bird rolled its eyes and said, "This young master is handsome and elegant, with beautiful plumage. He is naturally beautiful and does not need any mundane embellishments."

However, since Your Highness is so kind, I will reluctantly oblige. I can wear a diamond-encrusted gold chain around my neck and two anklets on my feet.

"oh."

Xiao Huaijin smiled gently, "Then I'll measure the size of this anklet."

The fritters, unsuspecting, happily flew into his palm.

Xiao Huaijin grabbed it and pinched its beak. "I think Maodan's beak is quite beautiful. If you could wear a beak ring, it would surely make countless female birds fall at your feet."

They dared to laugh at him for being useless.

Xiao Huaijin handed the bird to the person holding the lamp outside the door, saying, "Today you will stay with our Maodan and help it get a proper beak ring."

Oh oh oh!

Your Highness, you despicable scoundrel, how dare you resort to underhanded tactics!

Mao Dan struggled, glaring at Xiao Huaijin, wanting to tell its master to get rid of this shady villain.

Gui Yao was awakened by the sound of the bell, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Xiao Huaijin's beautiful face.

"woke up?"

He smiled broadly, his face radiant with a gentle glow, his deep dimples a delight to behold.

"I was woken up by Maodan. He said you bullied him and asked me to save him."

Gui Yao poked his dimple, "What did you do to it?"

"It doesn't like me."

Xiao Huaijin sniffed, his eyes moist, and recounted all the things Mao Dan had said to mock him.

"I didn't want it to say anything more unpleasant, so I had the lamplighter take it to pick out jewelry to bribe it."

"So that's how it is."

Gui Yao touched his face. "It's talking nonsense, don't mind it."

"Um."

Xiao Huaijin looked up at her, his phoenix eyes sparkling, his lips pursed, his eyes red, as if he was suppressing his grievances.

It added a unique charm to his already stunningly beautiful face.

The beauty is heartbreaking.

Gui Yao was heartbroken and felt guilty for not being able to properly teach Mao Dan.

"Then I'll wash up and change my clothes now."

Gui Yao wanted to make him happy, so she gave him a bright smile and said, "How about we wear the same color today?"

Today, Xiao Huaijin was dressed in white, with a bright red gauze robe woven with gold thread over it. He wore a red headband with pearls inlaid on it, and his long hair was half loose. He looked as ethereal as a fairy and as beautiful as jade.

Gui Yao couldn't help but mutter, "How come the prince is getting more and more handsome?"

Xiao Huaijin lowered his eyes shyly, a hint of cunning flashing in them.

The face is still the same face, just dressed up according to her preferences.

If she's happy, then it's all worth it.

Gui Yao was naturally delighted. When they arrived at the shop, she picked out a lot of things for Xiao Huaijin. A beautiful person should dress up even more, and what pleased her was her eyes.

When it was her turn, it was simple: one bolt of cloth in each of the five colors—blue, red, yellow, white, and black.

I originally intended to choose a style in the shop and have the embroiderers there make it for me.

"Have the embroiderers from the Prince's mansion do it."

Xiao Huaijin took on the task, "Should we get some of the other colors too?"

"No need, this is enough."

Gui Yao smiled broadly.

The five-colored clothes were all formed from spiritual power. Her spiritual power could only conjure five-colored clothes and hats. She didn't understand why before, but now that she knows the reason, she would never change to something else.

Not wanting to expend any more spiritual energy, they decided to have the clothes made with money instead.

Xiao Huaijin didn't insist. "Then let's make two sets of each color and pick out some matching jewelry."

She was thinking of writing to Nan Yao and asking him to send more of the beautiful five-colored fabric.

Gui Yao nodded, took out a piece of gold from his sleeve and handed it to Zhi Jian, "Go settle the bill."

Xiao Huaijin stuffed the gold back into her sleeve. "If Prince Jin buys clothes for his fiancée and makes her pay for them, won't Nan Yao become a laughing stock?"

But in the end, he didn't pay the money.

The Prince of Shu arrived, beaming. "His Majesty has already bestowed a marriage upon Mingyue and me. Today is my joyous day. I am happy, and no one is allowed to take him from me."

"Brother, you're quick."

Gui Yao gave him a thumbs up. Not only did he explain things clearly to Mingyue in a short time, but he also went to the palace to ask for an imperial decree. He hadn't slept all night.

The Prince of Shu chuckled, "I learned it from you."

Knowing that the Liu family had ill intentions, he took Mingyue directly to the Liu family.

Since he knew that the Crown Prince was concerned about Mingyue, he should naturally report it to the Emperor in time, and then take advantage of the Emperor's uncle's guilt to ask for the imperial edict.

"Is the bright moon happy?"

Gui Yao wanted to know if Zhao Mingyue's inner conflict had been resolved.

"She smiled; she must have been happy."

The Prince of Shu scratched his head. "Moreover, my imperial uncle has agreed to publicly reveal the identity of the royal bloodline and to reinstate the jade tablet."

Gui Yao nodded, "That's fine then."

Tong Qingyuan's confession was not a secret; it would not be difficult for anyone with ulterior motives to find out.

Rather than letting people make wild guesses, it's better to just make it public. Cheng'er is still young and at her most sensitive age. Just for Cheng'er's sake, Mingyue should be happy.

The Prince of Shu was overjoyed. After sharing his joy with Gui Yao, he went to pick out clothes and jewelry for Zhao Mingyue and the child.

Gui Yao glanced at the sky. "I'm going to take a stroll in the west of the city. Does Your Highness have any other plans?"

The western part of the city is where the poor people of the capital gather, and Gui Yao plans to do good deeds there.

Merit can also be transformed into spiritual power, although not as much as the power of wishes, it is still better than nothing.

Xiao Huaijin is just accompanying Gui Yao today, what could possibly happen?

"Don't run away, give me my money back..."

As soon as the two set foot in the west of the city, they saw a ragged girl of about twelve or thirteen years old chasing after a man.

Thief?

Gui Yao reacted instinctively, kicking a pebble into the man's knee, causing him to fall to the ground with a thud.

"Ouch, I almost fell and killed myself."

The man hugged his knees and wailed, "Which damn bastard just killed me?"

Gui Yao walked up to him, palm outstretched. "Take it away?"

"Take what?"

The man clenched the silver in his hand, glaring at Gui Yao. "Mind your own business. I'm her father. I raised her. What's wrong with using some of her money?"

The girl caught up with him, saying, "But that money is what I earned to pay for my mother's medical treatment, Dad. You can't use it to buy alcohol."

"Her illness nearly bankrupted her family; she should have died long ago. If you dare disrespect me again, I'll sell you to a brothel. Get out!"

The man raised his hand viciously to slap the girl's face, but Xiao Huaijin blocked it. He stepped on the man's hand, picked up the loose silver from his palm, and handed it to the girl.

The girl bowed gratefully to the two men, then turned and ran away.

"You, all dressed in fine clothes, are bullying us poor people! This is outrageous!"

The man wailed, "You hypocrites! If you were truly kind, you should give us some money!"

Instead of stealing my money, if she dares to touch my money, I'll skin her alive...

Gui Yao glanced at the black aura emanating from the man, then turned and chased after the girl.

She followed the girl to a small courtyard. The gate was ajar, and Gui Yao went inside. As she approached the door, a stench of decay hit her...
