"You're the one who injured my daughter, so kneel down before me!"

Su Muyao was speechless after hearing the old man's words.

"You old fool, who do you think you are to me, this princess? How dare you make me kneel down, hmph!"

Xu Wei was trembling with anger; this was the first time he had ever been so disobedient.

"Give me a beating! The princess is so rude as to not even bow to me. Today I will teach you how to behave properly."

Su Muyao chuckled, "Old man, do you recognize this?" As she spoke, she raised the golden snake whip in her hand high.

Su Muyao inwardly despised herself for being so fearless because of the whip, but so what? As long as it worked, that was all that mattered.

I knew this old bastard would come knocking on my door, so why should I be afraid of him?

Upon seeing that it was actually the Golden Snake Whip, Xu Wei had no choice but to kneel down reluctantly.

What good is being a founding veteran if nothing else matters? It's not as important as a whip. Ha, how ridiculous.

He accompanied the late emperor on his personal campaigns, and at that time he was also the most prominent figure.

Now, all I can do is kneel before a little dumpling.

"I believe Lord Xu should also understand that you will not get any good out of me today."

What's the use of bringing so many people? As long as the whip is in the Princess's mansion, you, Lord Xu, will have no choice but to bow your head. I advise you to be pragmatic and know when to yield.

After all, you're getting on in years, and I doubt you can withstand two lashes from me. If I were to kill you, wouldn't I be branded as someone who bullies the elderly?

Besides, at your age, you probably don't have more than two years to live. Why ruin my reputation for your sake? Don't you think so?

After saying that, he looked at Xu Wei and saw that Xu Wei was trembling with anger, and his whole face was white.

"Oh, by the way, if you want to complain, then go ahead. This princess would like to see who the emperor values ​​more, you useless old thing, or me, a lucky star?"

After saying that, he giggled in a childish voice, which angered Lord Xu so much that he leaned back and fainted.

Now all the people who had come along hurriedly carried Lord Xu out of the Princess's residence.

"Tch, I thought he had some skills, but he's already passed out from anger before he's even started. Sigh, how boring."

Xia covered her mouth and chuckled, "Princess, you're still talking about this. You keep calling him an old man. Lord Xu is already so old. If you make him sick, how will we explain it to the Emperor?"

"What is there to explain? He's old, what does he have to do with me, a child? Besides, I didn't lay a hand on him."

He quickly turned and walked towards his grandparents' yard, hoping that the commotion hadn't frightened the two elderly people.

After all, if the founding minister came to the princess's mansion and threatened to kill her, her grandparents would be very worried.

Upon arriving outside the courtyard, I saw a guard standing by the gate. "Grandpa and Grandma probably didn't know what was happening outside."

"Your Highness, I have no idea."

Su Muyao got the answer she wanted and patted her chest, "Pass down the order: no one is allowed to gossip about what just happened in the manor."

If my grandparents find out, I will definitely not let you off easily.

The guards at the door quickly replied, "Yes."

Su Muyao walked out, and Xia followed behind, asking in confusion, "Princess, where are you going?"

"That old scoundrel will definitely run to the Emperor tomorrow to file a complaint against me. I don't need to think about it; I know he wants the Emperor to take away my Golden Snake Whip."

How could I let him have his way?

"Princess, why did he ask the Emperor to take away your golden snake whip? Shouldn't the Emperor be the one to punish you?"

Su Muyao glanced back at Xia and said, "You still have a long way to go."

Xia scratched her head, not quite understanding what her princess meant.

“I ask you, the fault in this matter does not lie with us; it's just that my methods were a bit too extreme.”

What punishment could possibly be? At most, I'd be confined to the princess's residence for a few days, not allowed to leave, just to reflect on my actions."

Xia nodded in agreement. She understood, after all, the princess was personally appointed by the emperor and was also a lucky star personally announced by the emperor. There was no way she would hit a baby.

As Su Muyao walked ahead, she continued to say to Xia Xia, "But as a founding minister, what should I do if he tries to trip me up in the future?"

Now that I have the Golden Snake Whip protecting me, if he accuses me of misusing it and injuring someone, and the emperor confiscates it, I really won't be able to do anything about it.

Upon hearing this, Xia immediately became anxious: "Then what should we do about the princess?"

"I have a brilliant plan. Lead the way, let's go to the Prime Minister's residence."

…

Inside the Prime Minister's Residence

"My lord, the young princess requests an audience."

Just then, the Prime Minister paused in pulling up his trousers. Not only was he in the toilet, but the damned guard outside was yelling, which startled him.

Secondly, upon hearing that it was actually that little ancestor, his mind raced, wondering if he had recently offended that person.

I heard that this little rascal smashed the Chen mansion to pieces with his golden snake whip, and that old scoundrel surnamed Xu was so angry that he had to be carried back to his mansion.

Could they be planning to cause trouble in his mansion?

If I remember correctly, I shouldn't have offended this old lady.

As soon as Su Muyao was led into the room by her maid, she saw the Prime Minister running over in a panic.

"Oh my, isn't this the young princess? It's such an honor for my humble abode to have her visit."

Su Muyao's lips twitched. Was this how "蓬荜生辉" (péng bì shēng huī) was used? It was the first time she had ever heard of it.

The Prime Minister breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the young princess was not holding a whip. As long as she wasn't coming to vandalize the Prime Minister's residence, he would give her whatever she wanted, as long as he could get rid of this young lady.

"My lord, I have come here today mainly to discuss some matters, and I hope you can help me."

Upon hearing this, the Prime Minister quickly nodded, "Young Princess, what are you saying? As long as the Princess speaks, I will gladly risk my life."

Su Muyao was stunned when she heard this.

Why is this not what I expected? How could the prime minister be so humble?

Is it because I'm doing something wrong?

"Please have some tea, little princess."

After saying that, he instructed the maid standing to the side, "Why is it just tea? Quickly bring out some pastries and fruit."

The maidservant beside her accepted the order and went to prepare various pastries.

Then Su Muyao took out a piece of paper from her bosom. This was paper that she had made herself according to the method in the book in her space.

"Sir, I'll show you this without beating around the bush,"

As he spoke, he handed over a stack of papers.

The Prime Minister looked at the stack of papers handed to him and asked, "Did the Princess ask me to buy paper?"

"Does Your Excellency think that the price of this Xuan paper is too expensive? The high-ranking officials and nobles may not care about the cost, but the common people really cannot afford it. If they can't afford this paper, they will lose their ability to study."

The Prime Minister nodded, agreeing, but he still didn't quite understand what the young princess was trying to say.

"So what do you mean?"

"These sheets of paper you're holding are ones I made myself. Not only are the materials extremely simple and the cost very low, but the resulting paper is of exceptionally high quality, and..."

The Prime Minister looked at the snow-white papers in his hand and nodded affirmatively. These papers did indeed look much better than the ordinary ones.

"this…"

The prime minister listened to her in a nonchalant tone, as if she were talking about something trivial.

But his heart was in turmoil.

“Princess, you…you are truly remarkable. However, this kind of paper business is only for the royal family. Even if you produce it now, you can only report it to the authorities first.”
