“The two of you have performed meritorious service by eliminating the rebel faction. You shall be rewarded according to your contributions.” Yuancheng Emperor returned to the capital yesterday in the afternoon. This morning, he praised greatly the fifth prince and the sixth prince in the court. Clearly, he was very satisfied with the two’s performance. 

Mu Xi Yao stiffly walked a few steps. As soon as she turned around, she saw that apart from Mo Lan, Hui Lan, and momo, there were six more maidservants closely following behind her. This arrangement made Mu Xi Yao call to mind the scene of consorts in the palace going on an outing. 

“Cefei’s shu sister has put cefei in danger this time. Dos cefei wish to put in a good word for her?” Zhong Zheng Ming leaned against the wall and waited for Mu Xi Yao’s reply. 

“Your Highness, the gatekeeper has received a secret letter sent by a little girl. She specifically asked it to be delivered to the hands of Danruo Courtyard’s steward, claiming that she had an urgent matter to report.” 

“Hey, take the meal.” A tall man threw a bowl of cooked rice in front of Mu Xi Yao. Under his toss, the shabby pottery bowl bounced two circles before finally stopping. Mu Xi Yao narrowed her eyes and sized up the food on the table. Subsequently, she looked up at the coming person while sitting motionlessly.
