Ning Dong lowered her head and walked forward. Yu Fengyang, unaware of anything amiss, casually picked up a cup of tea.
Bai Chuxiao's eyes turned slightly cold. "I remember saying this morning that I didn't need you to serve me."
Ning Dong said pitifully, "I've been in this household for so many years and haven't done anything wrong. Your Highness is just trying to make room for your head maid. I don't care about the managerial position; I only beg Your Highness to stop targeting me."
Yu Fengyang wore an expression of anticipation, "Oh, Your Highness, is there really someone in the Yan Prince's mansion who dares to provoke you?"
Bai Chuxiao helplessly shrugged, "He's just after Chu Tianze's girl."
Yu Fengyang said righteously, "Tianze, that's wrong of you. You just got married, what's wrong with you... No wonder..."
Chu Tianze glared at him fiercely, then stared coldly at Ning Dong, "Considering you've been in the manor for several years, I only gave you a chance this morning. Since you don't understand, then you shouldn't stay in the manor."
Ningdong immediately knelt down, "Your Highness, no! I didn't..."
Chu Tianze didn't want to waste any more words and ordered, "Guards! Take her out. I don't want to see her again."
Several guards rushed in and dragged the man out.
Bai Chuxiao snorted coldly at Chu Tianze, "Haven't you noticed all these years... huh?"
Chu Tianze quickly explained, "Xiaoxiao, I'm really innocent! I've only spent a relatively long time in the capital this year. Before you came, I mostly rested in the front courtyard and rarely used these maids to serve me."
Yu Fengyang clicked his tongue a few times, "Tianze, how come you've become henpecked? This young master looks down on you."
Bai Chuxiao raised an eyebrow. "Oh? General Yangwei has a problem with that? I feel we didn't get enough fighting yesterday, how about we go outside and practice some more?"
Yu Fengyang chuckled twice and quickly said, "How dare I? I'm on your side, Your Highness."
Those two are heartless and ruthless. Fighting them would only mean getting beaten up, and he wouldn't do that!
Bai Chuxiao snorted in annoyance before resuming her appreciation of the painting.
"It seems a bit empty."
Chu Tianze chuckled, "Xiaoxiao, would you like to write a few words yourself?"
After a moment's thought, Bai Chuxiao picked up her pen and wrote a few lines:
When autumn comes on the eighth day of the ninth month, my flowers will bloom and all other flowers will wither.
The fragrance of incense fills Chang'an, and the entire city is adorned with golden armor.
Chu Tianze's eyes flashed with amazement, "Xiaoxiao truly has an exceptional talent for poetry."
Bai Chuxiao chuckled awkwardly. This wasn't her doing; she could only apologize to Mr. Huang Chao… for borrowing his services…
Yu Fengyang was startled. "Don't you guys think this poem is a bit too murderous?"
Women are indeed not to be trifled with, especially a woman like the princess. With this painting and this poem, anyone who didn't know better would think the princess was about to rebel...
No one paid him any attention, because Bai Chuxiao and Chu Tianze didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Yu Fengyang could only silently accept two eye rolls. Hmm... maybe his thinking was too conservative...
A moment later, Xia Fan led He Li and the others in.
"Greetings, Your Highness and Your Highness."
Yu Fengyang raised an eyebrow, looking at the group. These were the people trained by the Princess? They seemed no different from anyone else.
Bai Chuxiao nodded with a smile, "Your Highness, let's get to know each other."
Chu Tianze said calmly, "I trust what Xiaoxiao values."
Since everyone present was one of their own, Bai Chuxiao had nothing to hide. Looking at them seriously, she said, "I called you here to carry out your first mission."
Bai Chuxiao then whispered a few instructions to the group. He Li, Zhou Kong, and Fang Tuo nodded solemnly with serious expressions.
Bai Chuxiao said in a deep voice, "Let's set off immediately."
The three immediately cupped their hands and said, "Yes."
Lin Huai asked with some confusion, "Your Highness, what about your subordinate?"
Bai Chuxiao smiled and said, "The original Black Wing Guards and Dark Guards will all be disbanded and retrained. You and Xia Fan will take the remaining people and take over their duties."
Lin Huai and Xia Fan both respectfully replied, "Yes."
Bai Chuxiao raised an eyebrow, "If anything goes wrong during the handover, you two know what will happen?"
Lin Huai and Xia Fan instantly broke out in a cold sweat. "Your Highness, Your Highness, please rest assured."
Chu Tianze sized up the two men. Xia Fan had been working for him for two months; he was efficient and quick-witted. Lin Huaiding wasn't much different. He wanted to see their true abilities.
"Alright, the defense of the Prince of Yan's residence is entrusted to you two. Don't let me down."
Excitement flashed in Lin Huai and Xia Fan's eyes. "Thank you for your trust, Your Highness."
After everyone had left, Yu Fengyang frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "You two really entrusted such an important series of matters to a few greenhorns?"
Chu Tianze smiled faintly and remained silent. Bai Chuxiao smiled slightly and slowly said, "General Yangwei, remember to announce your arrival through the main gate next time you come, otherwise..."
Yu Fengyang sensed a veil of sarcasm in her smile, and a chill ran down his spine. He feigned composure and said, "What can you do to me?"
Bai Chuxiao smiled and said, "Why don't you try it next time and you'll see?"
Yu Fengyang snorted coldly and turned away. Let them try; did he think he was afraid of these few brats?
The two spent another afternoon in the study. Bai Chuxiao was still engrossed in An Zhan Ji, a rare and precious book that she couldn't miss. Chu Tianze quietly approached from behind her.
"Xiaoxiao, is it pretty?"
Bai Chuxiao didn't look up, but smiled and said, "Beautiful."
Chu Tianze asked calmly, "How long does Xiaoxiao plan to watch?"
Bai Chuxiao put down her book, looked up at him, and asked in confusion, "Is there something else important?"
Chu Tianze stared intently at her and said calmly, "This is the second day of our marriage."
Bai Chuxiao blinked and said with a smile, "Is Your Highness reminding me that I should look at you?"
Chu Tianze's eyes darkened slightly, and he pulled her into his arms. "Shouldn't we?"
Bai Chuxiao looked up, pulled her arms out and wrapped them around someone's neck, saying softly, "Let me see... Hmm... Your Highness seems quite nice."
Chu Tianze held her slender waist tightly and said in a deep voice, "Compared to Madam... you're far inferior."
Her lips drew slightly closer, and Bai Chuxiao said softly, "Really, my husband?"
The woman's slightly parted teeth and the breath she exhaled made Chu Tianze's eyes narrow.
"Of course, Madam is the most beautiful."
Just as her lips were about to touch the man's beautiful, thin lips, Bai Chuxiao quickly pulled away, smiling as she said, "My husband still needs to work on his self-control..."
Chu Tianze's eyes darkened slightly, and he spoke softly, "Xiaoxiao, come here."
Bai Chuxiao looked at him warily, intending to leave, "Husband, what's going on..."
Chu Tianze didn't wait for her to speak. He darted forward, put an arm around her waist, and swept her up in his arms.
After several unsuccessful attempts to break free, Bai Chuxiao cried out, "Chu Tianze, please put me down! I was wrong..."
Overnight, this guy's internal strength seems to have improved again. Waaah, I think I can't beat him anymore, what should I do!
Chu Tianze laid her down on the soft couch in the study before speaking in a deep voice, "Doesn't Madam know the consequences of seducing a man...?"
Bai Chuxiao blinked innocently, "Would you believe me if I said I didn't mean it?"
Chu Tianze didn't answer, but instead lowered his head and kissed those incredibly delicate lips.
The sudden, passionate kiss left Bai Chuxiao feeling a little dizzy, yet also quite pleasant, making her want to indulge in it.
The atmosphere inside the room grew increasingly intimate, and the two men's outer garments lay scattered on the floor, when suddenly there was a knock on the door...
