When they heard that the Crown Princess had summoned them, they said they wanted to dress up nicely."

The truth was, when he announced the Crown Princess's summons, the beauties who had just been clamoring to go to the palace to see the Emperor began to act arrogantly. Fearing the Crown Princess would wait too long, he had no choice but to come and report first. This time, these damned brainless women had truly gotten him into a terrible mess.

Murong Xiao, having heard this, was surprisingly good-tempered and didn't get angry. He placed the little glutton in his arms on the grass and let it play. He then took the military book that Xiao Miao had prepared and sat outside the courtyard to read it.

Little Tao was playing with the grass out of boredom when he suddenly saw some fish in the pond. He shouted "Awoo" happily and jumped in.

"Oh, Princess, your puppy fell into the water!" Zhang Wei said anxiously, rolling up his sleeves and preparing to jump out of the pond.

"Don't worry about it, Manager Zhang. It will be here soon."

"But...but it has already sunk into the water. I can swim, so please help the Crown Princess find the puppy. It will be too late if you don't come now."

In order to perform in front of Murong Xiao, Zhang Wei decided to take the opportunity of saving the dog to treat the puppy as his ancestor, so as to restore his image in front of the Crown Princess.

However, Murong Xiao did not give him a chance to save the dog. The moment Zhang Wei jumped up, Murong Xiao gently called out, "Little Tao, come back."

At the moment Zhang Wei fell into the water, a small pure white figure, with a fat koi in its mouth, flew up directly from the bottom of the water.

Looking at the puppy that had come ashore, pawed the fat koi a few times with its little paws, and then kicked it away with a bored kick while it was struggling and threw it into the pond, Zhang Wei felt depressed again.

Seeing that his flattery efforts had failed, Zhang Wei had no choice but to go ashore, dripping wet. But he didn't dare leave without the Crown Princess's permission. So he could only stand in the yard, dripping wet.

Winter has already arrived in South Vietnam, and today is especially cold, as the temperature is the lowest since the beginning of winter. Zhang Wei shivered in the wet clothes and the cold wind.

Just when Zhang Wei was freezing, the white puppy shook its body in front of him, and its white fur, which was wet just now, became dry in an instant.

Zhang Wei felt depressed as he saw the white puppy seeming to laugh at him.

He had to admit that although Murong Xiao was young, her temperament was no less than that of the queen in the palace. He wanted to ask to go back and change clothes several times, but he swallowed the words back every time.

A quarter of an hour later, the beauties finally arrived. Everyone was talking and laughing, without any trace of the fright they had felt the previous day.

"Oh, what a cute puppy!"

A beautiful woman in a light red brocade robe saw the little glutton on the grass, who was bored and had a violent outburst, having killed more than a dozen butterflies, and shouted loudly.

Several other beauties also saw Taotie and rushed forward to catch it.

"What are you doing? I saw it first. This is mine!"

"Why should it be yours just because you see it? I like it!"

"What are you arguing about! This puppy is so cute, it should belong to Sister Ling." A beauty flattered, making Ling Xiao beside her feel particularly comfortable.

When the other beauties heard what Ling Xiao wanted, they all kept quiet.

"Catch that puppy for me!"

As soon as Ling Xiao finished speaking, the six beauties immediately started to pounce on the dog.
