How can I send just any random cat or dog into my house?"

Murong Xiao's lips twitched slightly. Her looks were already so stunning that even she felt it was excessive. It would probably be difficult to find someone prettier than her in this land of Kyushu, right?

"Your Highness means... as long as there is a woman like this, it will be fine?"

"Of course that's not enough. She has to be more knowledgeable than you, more skilled in martial arts, and love me more than you! And she has to be from at least two thousand years in the future."

Murong smiled and nodded. "So that's how it is. I'll go out and help you look for it someday, or else Manager Zhang will say I have a bad style."

"No, I can't find it!"

"Who said that? Nothing is difficult if you set your mind to it! I will work hard to be a qualified wife."

“It’s no use finding it!”

"Why?"

"Have you forgotten? I said that I will only look at you in this life. If anyone wants me to look at her more than once, I will dig out her eyes. Tell me, no matter how beautiful a woman is, if she loses her eyes, can she be more beautiful than you?"

Qian Yeming's words sent a shiver down Murong Xiao's spine. He wasn't joking when he said that. He seemed to be suppressing his bloodlust, a terrifying feeling, leaving her in no doubt that if he provoked her any further, the heads of the seven beauties outside would be torn from their bodies.

Although such bloodthirstiness and cruelty were not conducive to his recuperation over the years, she liked it.

"Xiao'er, you've been tired all day. Go take a bath. Today's water was prepared by your husband personally. To express your apology, I have decided to help Xiao'er wipe her body and back tonight."

Qian Yeming's words made Murong Xiao's face flush. From the last life to this one, except for the time when she was poisoned by the love flower and he became her husband in order to cure her poison, until now, they had never had a moment of open and honest communication.

"You haven't told me what you're going to do with those beauties!"

"You are the mistress of the Prince's Mansion. Since those women were given to the Prince's Mansion, they are now his servants. You can deal with them as you wish. I am the Crown Prince. How can I interfere in the management of the inner chambers? But when you punish them, remember to include Zhang Wei as well!"

After saying that, without allowing Murong Xiao to interrupt him, he picked her up and walked towards the bathhouse.

Outside the main house, Zhang Wei was about to knock on the door when Qingfeng stopped him.

"What's the matter, Manager Zhang?"

Seeing that he was stopped by Qingfeng, although he was unhappy, he knew that Qingfeng's status in the Prince's Mansion was not comparable to his. He could only smile and said, "Commander Qingfeng, the Prince is in the room, right?"

"That's right." Qingfeng replied expressionlessly.

"I have something to report to the prince."

"I said no one is allowed to disturb you."

"Qingfeng!" Zhang Wei was furious. "Do you know what the Crown Princess did just now? She actually asked those beauties to stand there and wait. How long does she plan to keep them waiting? You have to know that these beauties were all assigned by the Emperor. They are all ladies you can't afford to offend. If any of them caught a cold or got tired, could you afford it?"

Qingfeng frowned and asked, "Manager Zhang, have you forgotten where you are from?"

Qingfeng's words choked Manager Zhang.

Yes, he was from the Crown Prince's Mansion. Although the Crown Prince appeared gentle on the surface, he was actually uncontrollable and had his own style in the palace.
