Startled by his sudden shout, Mu Zixuan felt a bad premonition and immediately withdrew his smile, solemnly advising him: "Brother, this is really not a big deal. To deal with a woman, you just need to put in a little effort, cater to her preferences, and give her some benefits to coax her."

"To coax her?" At this, Mu Beichen's eggplant-shaped face darkened even more. He strode over to Mu Zixuan from beside the table and said, "You didn't see how arrogant she was today. If we let her continue to act so badly, the entire palace will be in chaos."

"Besides, I am the emperor of a nation. How could I do such a despicable thing to a woman that would damage the dignity of the emperor?" After saying that, he flicked his sleeves in annoyance and turned his back to Mu Zixuan, panting heavily.

He felt like Yu Qianqian was driving him crazy. Even the many hardships he had experienced before were nothing compared to what was happening now.

Even when they had a major falling out, Yu Qianqian couldn't bear to make him sad for too long. He would just play the victim a little in front of her, and she would never disappoint him.

But this time, only this time, Mu Beichen felt an unprecedented coldness and ruthlessness from her, and it was the kind of situation where no matter how he tried to coax her, he couldn't soothe her.

"Alright, if Your Majesty insists on getting to this point, I'm afraid I can't help you." Mu Zixuan shook his head helplessly, and before leaving, he patted Mu Beichen on the shoulder and forced a smile, "You two can handle your own affairs. I have a lot of things to deal with at the Prince's residence."

Mu Beichen remained motionless in place, watching Mu Zixuan leave one by one. He let out a long sigh behind him, then returned to his desk and sat quietly, thinking about the various trivial matters between himself and Yu Qianqian. He fell asleep without realizing it.

After leaving the Imperial Garden, Yu Qianqian was taken directly back to her palace. She leaned against the window, gazing at the long corridor outside, sighing repeatedly, but remained silent for a long time.

Meng Fulin, who had been watching her every move, saw her frowning face and unconsciously let out a long sigh: "Alas... Your Majesty, are you still unhappy about the palace selection?"

“Actually… His Majesty…” Meng Fulin had just mentioned this when he noticed that Yu Qianqian’s face had darkened even more. He quickly stopped speaking, looking at her preoccupied appearance with extremely complicated eyes.

Yu Qianqian's eyes were lifeless, and she rested her cheeks on her hands. Then she sighed and added, "I have to stay in this gloomy place every day. I don't know when this will end!"

"It's all that perverted, dog-like emperor's fault! All he does is keep me under house arrest every day. I absolutely hate him!"

Especially when Mu Beichen was mentioned at the end, Yu Qianqian, who had been looking lifeless, immediately became furious. She couldn't calm down even if she wanted to.

"If Your Majesty is troubled by these matters, I have a good suggestion. Would Your Majesty be willing to give me a chance to try?"

Upon hearing that they were going out to play, Yu Qianqian immediately became interested. "Anywhere is fine, as long as we can get away from this place. Let's go without delay."

No sooner had these words been spoken than Meng Fulin was dragged and pulled away by Yu Qianqian from the palace gates. After leaving Fengyi Palace, they went together to Wuji Palace, a beautiful place with clear waters and lush mountains, a veritable paradise.
