"Whose child is that?" Sheng Yunrong asked curiously.

Pei Jinxiao smiled slightly and said, "That's my daughter, Pei Jinyu."

Sheng Yunrong was stunned. She didn't expect Pei Jinxiao to have a child. She looked at Pei Jinyu's lovely appearance, and a sense of intimacy surged in her heart.

"Miss Sheng, would you like to go over and see her?" Pei Jinxiao invited.

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly and nodded.

The two walked up to Pei Jinyu, who raised her head with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"Dad, who is this?" Pei Jinyu asked curiously.

Pei Jinxiao smiled gently and said, "This is Miss Sheng. Your father has a history with her."

Pei Jinyu smiled slightly and said, "Hello, Miss Sheng."

Sheng Yunrong smiled gently and said, "Hello, Miss Pei, you are so cute."

Pei Jinyu smiled shyly and looked down at the chicken in her hand.

Sheng Yunrong looked at Pei Jinyu and couldn't help thinking of her childhood. At that time, she also played carefree like this.

"Miss Sheng, what do you think of my daughter?" Pei Jinxiao suddenly asked.

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly and said, "Miss Pei is smart and will definitely achieve great things in the future."

Pei Jinxiao nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Miss Sheng, how do you think I have been doing these years?"

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty is still as majestic as ever. With you, the people of Western Wei can live and work in peace and contentment. This is truly a blessing for Western Wei."

Pei Jinxiao smiled gently, with a hint of emotion in his eyes: "Yes, over the years, I have fulfilled my father's last wish and made the Western Wei prosperous."

Sheng Yunrong looked at Pei Jinxiao, and could not help but feel a surge of respect in her heart. This young man who was once full of vigor and vitality has now become a pillar of the Western Wei Dynasty.

Sheng Yunrong's pretty face flushed when she heard this, and she became even angrier. She stared at the man and gritted her teeth and said, "Who is so bold as to gossip about someone behind their back?"

Pei Jinxiao coughed softly to break the awkward atmosphere. He said in a deep voice, "Miss Sheng, this matter involves a lot of people, so we need to think about it carefully. Why don't we let the servants investigate and see if we can find any clues?"

Sheng Yunrong nodded and instructed a trusted servant, "Go check immediately and make sure to find the person who is gossiping!"

Not long after, the servant came back with a piece of paper in his hand. It said, "The person gossiping is the second young lady of the Sheng Mansion, Sheng Xueyao."

Sheng Yunrong's face changed when she heard this, and she immediately stood up and angrily walked towards the room where Sheng Xueyao was. Pei Jinxiao followed closely behind her, and he was also a little confused, wondering why Sheng Xueyao wanted to frame Sheng Yunrong.

Sheng Xueyao was waiting in the side room. When she saw Sheng Yunrong and Pei Jinxiao suddenly barge in, she turned pale with fright and said in a trembling voice, "Sister, Prince, you... why are you here?"

Sheng Yunrong glared at Sheng Xueyao, her anger burning in her eyes. She pointed at Sheng Xueyao with a trembling hand and gritted her teeth, saying, "Sheng Xueyao, why did you frame me?"

Sheng Xueyao was trembling with fear. She lowered her head and dared not look Sheng Yunrong in the eye. Pei Jinxiao saw this and said in a deep voice: "Sheng Xueyao, since you have done it, you should take the responsibility. Why did you frame Miss Sheng?"

Sheng Xueyao bit her lip, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes. She finally raised her head, stared at Sheng Yunrong, and said in a cold tone: "Sister, I have always envied you. I envy you for having the identity of the eldest lady of the Sheng family and for having the favor of Prince Pei. I just want you to have a taste of being framed."

Sheng Yunrong was so angry that she was shaking all over. She had never thought that her own sister could be so vicious. She looked at Sheng Xueyao coldly and said word by word: "Sheng Xueyao, you are so cruel and ruthless. You have brought shame to our Sheng family! From today on, you are no longer a member of the Sheng family!"

Pei Jinxiao also stared at Sheng Xueyao, his eyes revealing a murderous intent. He said in a deep voice: "Sheng Xueyao, I will make you pay for the crime you committed!"

Sheng Yunrong nodded slightly, followed closely behind Jing Wang Pei Jinxiao, and stepped into the ancient Jing Wang Mansion. The mansion was full of lush flowers and trees, pavilions and towers were scattered in an orderly manner, and it was a peaceful and harmonious scene.

Sheng Yunrong couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this Prince Jing's Mansion is indeed worthy of its reputation, compared with her Sheng Mansion, it is more simple and elegant. She secretly glanced at Pei Jinxiao, only to see that he had a calm face and deep eyes, as if all the prosperity and troubles in this world had nothing to do with him.

The two walked through corridors and finally arrived at a spacious living room. Tea and fruit had already been prepared in the hall. Sheng Yunrong and Pei Jinxiao sat down as host and guest and exchanged pleasantries.

Sheng Yunrong smiled and said, "Your Highness, it has been a long time since we last met. Yunrong often misses your demeanor."

Pei Jinxiao smiled faintly and said, "Miss Sheng, you are too kind. I am just a speck of dust in the world. How can I dare to deserve your favor?"

Sheng Yunrong shook her head slightly and said seriously, "Your Majesty has misunderstood. Yunrong was not lying. Since the day I met Your Majesty, I have felt that Your Majesty is different from others, with an elegant temperament and admirable character."

Pei Jinxiao smiled slightly and said, "Miss Sheng, you are too kind. However, there is one thing I don't understand, so please enlighten me, Miss."

Sheng Yunrong was slightly stunned and said, "Your Majesty, please speak."

Pei Jinxiao said: "Miss Sheng, you know that everything in this world is about profit. Although Pei is from the royal family, he also knows the sufferings of the people. Miss Sheng is from a famous family, do you know the sufferings of the people?"

Sheng Yunrong thought for a moment and said, "Although Yunrong was born in a secluded place, she also knows a little about the sufferings of the people. The people of Western Wei are hardworking and simple, but their lives are difficult due to heavy taxes. Yunrong has also heard from the elders in the family that the prince's governance of the local area is quite popular among the people. I wonder what the prince thinks?"

Pei Jinxiao's eyes gleamed, and he said, "Miss Sheng, I believe that the way to govern a country is to keep the people safe. If the people of Western Wei can live and work in peace, Western Wei can be stable and peaceful for a long time. I am only implementing some simple policies in the local area to allow the people to recuperate. However, this is not a long-term solution. The people of Western Wei need a more fair and just social environment."

Sheng Yunrong's eyes flashed with admiration, and she said, "Your Highness is right. So, how do you think we can achieve this goal?"

Pei Jinxiao pondered for a moment and said, "I think that we should first reduce the burden on the people and lower taxes. Secondly, we should severely punish corrupt officials and ensure that the policies of the Western Wei Dynasty are implemented. Finally, we should strengthen education and improve the cultural literacy of the people so that they have more opportunities to change their own destiny."

Sheng Yunrong nodded repeatedly and said, "Your Majesty, this is a good idea. Yunrong is grateful for your advice."

While the two were talking, a maid quietly walked into the living room and whispered to Pei Jinxiao: "Your Highness, someone has come from the palace and said there is an emergency. Please enter the palace immediately."

Pei Jinxiao was slightly startled, then stood up and said to Sheng Yunrong: "Miss Sheng, I have urgent matters to attend to and must go to the palace immediately. I have benefited a lot from today's conversation with you. I will discuss it with you in detail when I have the chance in the future."

Sheng Yunrong smiled and said, "Your Highness is busy with affairs, Yunrong cannot disturb you. I wish Your Highness all the best."
