My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!

"Alright, that's enough for today. Court is adjourned!"

As Xiao Jinxuan's voice rang out again, Eunuch Gao stepped forward and shouted, "Dismiss the court!"

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing this, all the civil and military officials immediately bowed.

"Um!"

Xiao Jinxuan waved his hand, and after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, then turned his head to look at the two figures in the court.

"By the way, Chief Minister Meng, Prime Minister Li, you two come with me to the Imperial Study."

"I obey your decree."

Chief Minister Meng remained calm and immediately bowed.

Li Bingzhang also cupped his hands in greeting, a faint smile still on his face: "Your subject obeys the decree."

With the two remaining, the other officials in the court began to leave one after another.

Chen Zhanqiu glared at Jiang Xiaobai with a gloomy expression, then left first.

An Zhiyuan followed behind, his face still pale.

Jiang Xiaobai watched the two figures, then sneered, and followed the crowd out of the main hall.

Once outside, Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Yes, it's finally over.

This morning was more tiring than fighting a battle.

However, before Jiang Xiaobai could fully recover, he was suddenly shoved hard in the shoulder.

boom!

That was quite a blow.

Jiang Xiaobai paused slightly, staggered a bit, and barely managed to steady himself before looking up.

Upon discovering that the person who hit him was none other than Qin Zhaoye, Jiang Xiaobai immediately frowned.

Qin Zhaoye stood there, his expression still indifferent. His sharp eyes merely glanced at Jiang Xiaobai and said, "I'm sorry, it wasn't unintentional."

Ok?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow.

Was it not an unintentional act?

How could Qin Zhaoye, a martial artist, not be able to tell that he's such a big guy?

Are you blind?

Just as a chill ran through him, Jiang Xiaobai's brows relaxed, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "It's alright, Brother Qin was just being careless."

Qin Zhaoye looked at Jiang Xiaobai with a hint of disdain in his eyes, then turned and left.

But the moment he turned around, the smile on Jiang Xiaobai's face vanished instantly.

The next second, Jiang Xiaobai raised his foot and kicked Qin Zhaoye directly from behind.

boom!

That kick came quickly and fiercely.

Qin Zhaoye, being a martial artist, noticed it immediately.

The problem is, Jiang Xiaobai's kick was too decisive!

Caught off guard, Qin Zhaoye had no time to react before Jiang Xiaobai kicked him, sending him staggering several steps forward.

It wasn't until he was several steps away that Qin Zhaoye managed to steady himself.

Seeing Qin Zhaoye's reaction, Jiang Xiaobai acted as if nothing had happened, slowly retracting his foot, lightly dusting off his clothes, and looking at Qin Zhaoye with a smile back on his face.

"Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to."

"you!"

Qin Zhaoye's face instantly darkened. He slowly turned around, his gaze as cold as a knife, staring intently at Jiang Xiaobai.

In that instant, the surrounding air seemed to grow colder.

"What, you want to make a move?"

Jiang Xiaobai noticed the change, but he wasn't intimidated at all. Instead, he looked at Qin Zhaoye with a smile and said, "Come on, why don't you try moving?"

Yes, he didn't care who was behind Qin Zhaoye.

At least on the surface, he is still the heir of the Marquis of Zhenbei.

Who does this Qin Zhaoye think he is, daring to try and stage an accident with him?!

Did you deliberately bump into him?

Can't tell the difference between the two Jokers, huh?!

Qin Zhaoye listened, his fingers twitched slightly, and he was about to lash out, but just then, a rough and cold voice suddenly rang out from behind him.

"What? Do you want to die?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Kui walked out from the direction of the palace gate.

Tang Kui was already tall, and now, staring at Qin Zhaoye, his fierce aura was almost undisguised.

When his tiger-like eyes fell on Qin Zhaoye, the sense of oppression instantly intensified.

Qin Zhaoye's expression changed slightly. Although he was ranked second on the martial arts list, he had considerable talent.

But standing in front of him was Tang Kui!

Dahua's true military hero!

How could he possibly afford to offend someone like that right now?

Qin Zhaoye's fingers clenched slightly inside his sleeve, but in the end he lowered his head and said, "General Tang has misunderstood."

After speaking, Qin Zhaoye glanced at Jiang Xiaobai again, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and prepared to leave.

"etc!"

Jiang Xiaobai's voice rang out, and seeing Qin Zhaoye stop, he slowly walked up.

Snapped!

As the crisp sound rang out again, Jiang Xiaobai slapped Qin Zhaoye hard across the face.

"Don't get me wrong, this slap was intentional. This young master... just wanted to hit you!"

Jiang Xiaobai said calmly, "Now... you can get lost!!"

Qin Zhaoye's face was ashen. He glanced at Tang Kui, then nodded silently and turned to leave in a hurry.

Tang Kui watched Qin Zhaoye's retreating figure and snorted coldly, "Nephew, well done!"

"Hmph, who does he think he is, daring to act so arrogantly here? Does he really think he's invincible just because he's entered the top three of the martial arts rankings?"

After saying that, Tang Kui turned his head, raised his hand and patted Jiang Xiaobai's shoulder, his cold face immediately filled with a smile.

Yes, he was also worried that Jiang Xiaobai's personality might make him hesitant and timid.

But unexpectedly, Jiang Xiaobai stood up to them so firmly.

This truly impressed him: "No wonder he's Brother Jiang's son; he's got a sharp tongue and impressive courage!"

"Uncle Tang, you flatter me!"

Jiang Xiaobai felt a thud on his shoulder as Tang Kui patted him, and his smile froze.

"Come on, your father didn't come today, I'll take you home!" Tang Kui said with a smile.

"Okay, thank you very much, Uncle Tang!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai did not refuse, saying, "However, I want to go to the Prime Minister's residence!"

That's right, the emperor kept Li Bingzhang behind, and he wanted to know what he would say.

"Of course, of course!"

Tang Kui didn't think much of it, since Jiang Xiaobai had been chosen by the emperor to marry into the Prime Minister's family, so the matter was basically settled.

Therefore, it was perfectly normal for Jiang Xiaobai to go to the Prime Minister's residence.

Just as Tang Kui was pulling Jiang Xiaobai away, a cold voice suddenly rang out from behind: "Father, your daughter does not want to ride in the same carriage with him."

Ok?

Tang Kui paused in his steps.

Jiang Xiaobai also turned around and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

Tang Ningshuang followed, her expression cold and aloof. When her eyes fell on Jiang Xiaobai, they still carried a hint of lingering coldness.

Although Jiang Xiaobai performed well in the civil and military examinations, this could not conceal the fact that he had bought his official position.

Therefore, she still harbored a deep-seated aversion to Jiang Xiaobai.

Jiang Xiaobai glanced at Tang Ningshuang, then looked at Tang Kui and said seriously, "Hey, Uncle Tang, since Sister Tang has said so..."

"Then...hey, let's not bring her!"

"Hurry up!"

After saying that, Jiang Xiaobai grabbed Tang Kui's arm and turned to walk towards the palace gate.

Tang Kui was taken aback at first, then glanced at his daughter, whose face was full of interesting expressions, with a strange look in his eyes.

Tang Ningshuang stood there, completely stunned.

No.

Was her meaning not clear enough in what she just said?

Is Jiang Xiaobai genuinely unable to understand, or is he deliberately pretending not to understand?

As Jiang Xiaobai and Tang Kui walked further and further away, a clear hint of annoyance appeared on Tang Ningshuang's usually cold face.

"Jiang Xiaobai!"

Tang Ningshuang gritted her teeth, then took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing her anger, and followed after him.

Just as Tang Ningshuang caught up, Tang Kui and Jiang Xiaobai slowed down.

Tang Ningshuang initially thought they were waiting for her, but she soon realized that wasn't the case.

Right in front of us, a phoenix carriage came along.

At that moment, Jiang Xiaobai looked at the phoenix carriage, but he didn't pay any attention to it.

Just as the imperial carriage passed by, a soft voice rang out: "Wait, is that... the young master of the Jiang family outside?"

Ok?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai was visibly taken aback.

Who is in this phoenix carriage?

Judging from the voice, he's quite young, and his voice is so soft and pleasant to listen to!

Just as he was wondering, Tang Kui's voice rang out in a low voice: "Little Bai, this is the Princess's phoenix carriage!"

"Um?"
