The Miao King was not one to speak ill of others behind their backs.
He never expected that his casual remark behind someone's back would be caught by the original owner of this body.
At this moment, he truly felt somewhat embarrassed.
He smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Lord Huo, that's not what I meant! I don't think you're inferior to this gentleman. It's just... that..."
Huo Qingjue's face remained ashen, showing little change.
Yun Chuwei couldn't help but chuckle: "So you mean my Lord Wen is inferior to your Lord Huo?"
Xie Xuan was also quite puzzled as to where this Lord Wen had come from.
But he knew it referred to himself, so he stared coldly at the Miao King.
"Xiao Wang... Xiao Wang didn't mean that! Miss, please let me go!"
Yun Chu smiled slightly, ignoring the Miao King, and went over to check on the two infants.
Seeing Yun Chuwei approach, the wet nurse explained, "The little prince is awake very little. When he is awake, he basically just drinks milk and then falls asleep. His condition seems to be getting worse!"
Yun Chu nodded slightly, then looked at the Miao King and said, "King of Miao, it's time for us to set off!"
The Miao King was more than happy to hear this, as it immediately freed him from his awkwardness, and he said, "Yes! Let's set off immediately to avoid any further problems!"

Yun Chuwei traveled by horse-drawn carriage.
After Yun Chuwei got into the carriage, Xie Xuan followed her into the carriage as well.
The Miao king was somewhat shocked when he saw it.
He had just heard the young lady refer to that official as "my Lord Wen," and he thought she was just making it up. He never expected this...
It seems that this Lord Wen has a close relationship with the young lady.
but……
The Miao King suddenly remembered that the young lady was engaged to the son of the Chu Emperor.
What's going on now?
Could it be...?
The Miao King thought of a certain possibility, and couldn't help but cover his mouth, his eyes shining brightly.
As expected of the young lady! She's simply...
Just then, a voice drifted from the side: "King of Miao, if you can't control your eyes and mouth, I don't mind keeping them safe for you!"
The Miao King was startled and turned to meet Huo Qingjue's cold gaze.
His lips twitched. He felt that he must be the most pathetic king in Miao territory.
Not only was he suppressed by the young lady, but he was also threatened by her guards.
There was nothing we could do; this person was a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, a commander of a thousand men.
These Embroidered-Clad Guards were the Emperor of Chu's trusted confidants.
Execute first, report later—a special privilege granted by imperial authority!
The Miao King could only immediately reply, "My eyesight is poor today; I didn't see anything. I suffer from amnesia; I've forgotten everything that happened today and won't mention it at all!"
After saying this, the Miao King climbed back into his carriage.
Huo Qingjue didn't say anything more, but turned around and glanced at Yun Chuwei's carriage, his eyes conveying an unreadable meaning.
Inside the carriage, Xie Xuan shamelessly pulled Yun Chuwei into his arms and whispered, "What do you mean by 'my Lord Wen'? When did you get a Lord Wen?"
Yun Chuwei reached out and pinched Xie Xuan, smiling brightly as she said, "The dictionary says: 'Xuan' means 'warm.' Isn't my Master Wen my Ah Xuan?"
Xie Xuan smiled, realizing that was indeed what he meant.
He pulled the person closer and replied, "Okay!"
Yun Chuwei was somewhat puzzled: "What's so good about it?"
"You said I belong to your family, and I said okay. Isn't that right?" Xie Xuan retorted.
Yun Chuwei was about to refute, but then she thought about it and realized that what he said wasn't wrong.
She simply kissed Xie Xuan on the lips and said, "Yes! My family's!"
Xie Xuan's lips curled into a satisfied smile.
-
The royal city of Miao territory is called Jinyao.
Yun Chuwei and the others arrived outside Jinyao City in the evening.
At the gate of Jinyao City, a group of people came to greet them.
Yun Chuwei didn't want to pay attention to the people who came to greet her, but she didn't expect that the King of Miao would bring one of them to pay his respects to her.
Out of respect for the Miao King, she still lifted the carriage curtain.
Upon seeing Yun Chuwei, the Miao King immediately introduced her, "Miss Yun, this is my younger brother, Xiao Wenmo. He's twenty-one this year, and his looks and talent are quite good. What do you think, Miss?"
Yun Chuwei raised an eyebrow slightly. She didn't understand why she needed to ask for her opinion.
However, Yun Chuwei was too lazy to think about what was wrong with the Miao King, and she said perfunctorily, "I think whatever you say is right!"
The Miao King seemed completely oblivious to the fact that this was a perfunctory remark. He said with great delight, "It's wonderful that Wenmo has caught the eye of the young lady! Treating the little prince will take some time. To prevent the young lady from getting too bored, I will assign Wenmo to be her guide. Wherever the young lady wishes to go, Wenmo can take her!"
The Miao King thought that if the young lady had such a close relationship with that Lord Wen, then she must also have such a close relationship with his younger brother.
After all, his younger brother was also exceptionally handsome, and his other qualities were also quite good.
As long as their younger brother becomes a member of the young lady's harem, then the Miao people will have connections in the imperial court.
Moreover, they have quite a good network of contacts!
Just thinking about it makes him excited.
Yun Chuwei didn't want to say more about this matter, so she waved her hand and said, "The Miao King is indeed thoughtful. If I needed a guide, I would definitely ask your brother! Now, let's go into the city!"
After Yun Chuwei finished speaking, she lowered the carriage curtain again.
When the Miao King saw that Yun Chuwei had lowered the curtain, he became somewhat anxious. He wanted to say something more, but he couldn't find an excuse.
He could only lead Xiao Wenmo back. On the way, he said to Xiao Wenmo with some annoyance, "Was it because I didn't introduce you clearly enough? Why didn't Miss Yun seem very interested in you when she saw you?"
Xiao Wenmo smiled politely and appropriately: "Brother Wang, perhaps the young lady doesn't like someone like me. Why force it?"
The Miao King quickly shook his head and said earnestly, "Impossible! You are handsome, of good status, and your every word and action reflects excellent upbringing. Your every move is gentle and polite. No one could dislike you!"
Xiao Wenmo's smile deepened.
“Brother Wang, I am your younger brother, so naturally you think I am wonderful! If I weren’t your younger brother, you might not think this way!”
The Miao King shook his head, somewhat disagreeing with Xiao Wenmo's words.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Even if the young lady doesn't like you now, you must still try your best to make her like you! You need to know that whether our Miao region can have a powerful backer in the imperial court in the future depends entirely on you!"
Xiao Wenmo gave a helpless smile: "Brother Wang, what are you talking about?"
"I'm not joking!" the Miao King said very seriously.
Xiao Wenmo seemed both annoyed and amused, and finally relented, saying, "I'll listen to my brother and give it a try!"
