"What have I done to offend you, Princess?"
Nan Xiao's eyes held a hint of tenderness. He never used the imperial title "朕" (zhen, meaning "I" or "the emperor") when speaking to Mo Shisheng, only "我" (wo, meaning "I" or "me"), as if doing so would bring him closer to Mo Shisheng.
Although he knew it was impossible, at least this way they wouldn't become too distant...
"have a finger in the pie."
Mo Shisheng glanced coldly at Nan Xiao and spoke without any mercy.
"I……"
"If you hadn't said you'd find me a mentor, would I have stayed up all night trying to figure out a solution?"
Before Nan Xiao could speak, Mo Shisheng cut him off, saying, "Aren't the affairs of the court enough for you to keep you busy? Is it because the world is at peace now that you're bored?"
Nan Xiao: "..."
When he saw Ming Beiya during the selection of his master yesterday, he thought he would receive a smile from Mo Shisheng today. But how come reality is completely different from what he expected?
After seeing Ming Beiya yesterday, Nan Xiao didn't sleep well all night. He thought that since Ming Beiya had come all the way to the Southern Kingdom, Mo Shisheng probably wouldn't stay here any longer.
However, Mo Shisheng looked impatient and seemed very dissatisfied with his decision to choose a master for him without his consent.
Nan Xiao was also slightly taken aback, "Could it be that..."
"Shut up, I don't want to hear a single word from you right now."
Before Nan Xiao could utter Ming Beiya's name, Mo Shisheng coldly cut him off, sternly silencing his next words.
Immediately, Nan Xiao dared not say another word, swallowing the rest of her words back down her throat, and dared not look at Mo Shisheng again.
Everyone: "..."
This is ruthless criticism! Are you the emperor?! Show some respect!
Qi Muxiao said that she was used to this scene, so she didn't have much of an emotional reaction.
Instead, I calmly picked up a glass of water and took a small sip. Hmm, the temperature was just right. A sip of hot water is so comforting.

Mo Shisheng didn't have to wait long before Ming Beiya and the fair-skinned boy who had stayed behind walked onto the arena together. Ming Beiya had changed into a silver outfit today, still wearing a fur coat over it, with all his hair hidden inside.
His stunningly beautiful face was perfectly suited to the harsh winter weather. As the snow slowly froze, his aura was hardly any warmer than the weather itself.
Only when their gaze fell upon Mo Shisheng did their warmth begin to return, as if the ice and snow were melting away.
"Princess, it's the third round."
Seeing that Mo Shisheng was staring intently at him, Ming Beiya had no choice but to whisper a reminder.
No sooner had he spoken than he received an even fiercer glare from Mo Shisheng.
He raised an eyebrow slightly, and it seemed that Ah Sheng was really angry.
It's understandable, though. She hates being forced to do things she doesn't want to do. Ah Sheng probably thought that he had to be her master to take responsibility for her.
Why……
Actually, Ah Sheng was too naive, Ming Beiya couldn't help but think to himself. How could he possibly just ask Ah Sheng to take responsibility for him?
Not only will he take responsibility, but from now on, he will stay by Mo Shisheng's side and never be separated again.
If Mo Shisheng knew what Ming Beiya was thinking right now, I wonder if she would be so angry she'd vomit blood...
"Hey, Xiu, do you think Miss really wants to get her hands on the young prince?"
Seeing Mo Shisheng's expression, Jiang Yao couldn't help but smile. "It's been a long time since I've seen Miss Da so embarrassed. Your Highness is really carefree."
