Martial Arts Crossover: Starting as a member of the Imperial Guard, all the ladies are demons

She pouted her cute little lips and said, "Husband, you haven't looked at me these past few days."

"She spends every day with Sister Yue'er; that's unfair."

"hehe."

With so many women in his life, Xiao Jingyi sometimes couldn't take care of them all, so when he heard Su Wanwan's resentful words, he could only give a dry laugh.

He reached out and put his arm around her waist, then gently pinched the tip of her nose: "Okay, I'll keep you company today, how about it?"

"Humph~"

Hearing Xiao Jingyi say that, Su Wanwan gave a soft snort and didn't press the matter further.

She would be content if she could spend a day with him.

She simply sniffed, furrowed her brows slightly, and then rolled her eyes at Xiao Jingyi: "Husband, is the Prince's Mansion going to have another little sister?"

Hearing this, Xiao Jingyi was surprised and looked at her in confusion: "Wanwan, why do you say that?"

“My husband, I can smell other women on you. Besides Sister Yue’er’s, there is another scent that I have never smelled before.”

"This scent is definitely from a woman, and you've had physical contact with her."

Su Wanwan said this with conviction.

As if to prove herself right, she even took the hand that Xiao Jingyi had used to scratch her nose and pointed at it, saying, "It's right here, your hand definitely touched me."

???

!!!

Depend on!

You can even tell from that smell? Wanwan, are you a dog?

Upon hearing Su Wanwan's words and looking at his own hands, Xiao Jingyi suddenly remembered that he had indeed pinched Qin Banruo's chin in the dungeon earlier.

Well, even this was discovered.

Seeing this, Xiao Jingyi chuckled, offered no explanation, and pinched Su Wanwan's delicate nose.

He said, "You little rascal, you have a really keen nose."

"Then would you like me to take another concubine?"

"No." Su Wanwan pouted and said without thinking.

"Oh? But didn't you always say that you were the youngest and that your older sisters bullied you? Now that I'm taking another wife, you won't be the youngest anymore, and there won't be any more bullying."

To everyone's surprise, Su Wanwan shook her head repeatedly after hearing this: "I don't want to. Besides, I was just joking. My sisters are always very nice to me."

"I get to choose the best food and fun things first."

"I don't care, I want to be the mistress."

Wow, so that's why.

Xiao Jingyi was amused by Su Wanwan, but he didn't tease her anymore.

"Alright, then we won't accept it for now."

"Hehe, I knew my husband was the best to me. Husband, I recently found some dance instructors to teach me a new dance. Would you like me to show you?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyi's expression shifted slightly, and the beautiful woman began to dance.

Brilliant!

He immediately nodded and said, "Alright, every time I dance, I'll be stunningly beautiful."

Afterwards, Xiao Jingyi returned to Su Wanwan's boudoir under her guidance, and soon the rhythmic sound of bells could be heard from the room.

..

The Imperial Palace of the Great Liang Dynasty.

At this moment, Emperor Xiao Xuan was strolling in the Imperial Garden with a group of palace maids and eunuchs.

"Gao Zhan".

Reaching a railing, Xiao Xuan spoke calmly.

"This old servant is here. May I ask what Your Majesty's orders are?"

The stout, kind-faced eunuch walked to Xiao Xuan's side and respectfully replied.

And he was Gao Zhan.

If we were to name the most memorable characters in Nirvana in Fire, aside from the brilliant strategist Mei Changsu...

Then there are two more people who are definitely kings in the officialdom.

One of them was Gao Zhan, who was Xiao Xuan's closest and most trusted confidant.

His words often turn the impossible into the possible.

Xiao Xuan glanced at Gao Zhan and said seemingly casually, "Just now, news came from the Prince Yi's residence that Prince Yi intends to form a palace guard. What do you think is the purpose of Prince Yi's move?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Zhan was taken aback, clearly not expecting that Prince Yi would form a military force at this time.

After all, a few years ago, when Prince Yi was granted the title of Prince, he was clearly able to gradually...

However, in recent years, apart from recruiting a few dozen people to support his cause, he has not recruited any more.

But now...

After glancing at Xiao Xuan, Gao Zhan knew that his emperor had some doubts.

Alas, our Emperor is truly suspicious by nature.

010 Palace Dialogue, Princess Nihuang Returns

Despite his thoughts, Gao Zhan quickly replied.

"Your Majesty, this old servant truly knows nothing about Prince Yi's affairs. Perhaps he's only thinking about his own continued power."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuan glanced at Gao Zhan and laughed, scolding, "You old geezer."

How could he not know that Gao Zhan was pretending to be confused?

But I don't mind.

After all, Gao Zhan was the only one who could listen to him say these things.

"Actually, I have high hopes for Prince Yi. He showed remarkable insight even when he was young."

"Ever since that incident..."

"His Majesty."

Gao Zhan quickly interrupted, glancing to his left and right.

Seeing his flustered appearance, Xiao Xuan waved his hand: "Twelve years have passed. Even if the people in the palace don't mention it, who can forget it?"

"But Your Majesty, this will have a bad influence."

"It's alright, let's talk about it between you and me."

Seeing this, Gao Zhan nodded and said nothing more.

Xiao Xuan sighed: "Perhaps that incident back then had too deep an impact on him. Over the years, Jing Yi has become complacent and unambitious."

"He even earned the reputation of a playboy prince, truly..."

Speaking of Xiao Jingyi, Xiao Xuan felt it was a great pity.

After all, he was once a prodigy, but now he has ruined his future and is no longer so full of vigor.

In fact, when Xiao Jingyi first transmigrated, he had many of the typical transmigrator's problems.

For example, showing off in front of others, being pretentious, etc.

This isn't his true nature; it's just that he transmigrated here and has a high standard. Even though he usually tries to restrain himself, the things he says and the way he handles things from time to time are astonishing.

It was around that time that Xiao Xuan began to notice his son, Xiao Jingyi.

He also said that he would be the next Prince Qi.

Not long after, the Chiyan case broke out, and Prince Qi was sentenced to death.

Xiao Jingyi felt the danger of his situation for the first time, and afterwards he secretly developed his power while becoming "mediocre".

Many people have even forgotten that Xiao Jingyi was once a famous "child prodigy" in the capital.

Whenever he thought of this, Xiao Xuan felt guilty, after all, he had indirectly "ruined" Xiao Jingyi.

He used the phrase "the next Prince Qi" as a compliment, but it ended up ruining Xiao Jingyi.

That's why, when Xiao Jingyi was conferred the title of Prince, he not only bestowed upon him the title of Double Pearl Prince, but also gave him a force of 1200 soldiers.

Because his spies had reported over the years that Xiao Jingyi was no longer the child prodigy he once was, and no longer posed a threat to his throne.

With a sigh, Xiao Xuan said, "Actually, how could I not know that Jingyi wanted to form a military force? He's worried that the Crown Prince and Prince Yu will turn against him."

During this period, the Crown Prince and Prince Yu were locked in a fierce battle.

Xiao Xuan knew all of this, but what angered him was that his two elder brothers had been sending people to monitor Xiao Jingyi for so many years.

Therefore, he could understand why Xiao Jingyi would form the group at this time.

He was forced into this situation by these two, and he had to protect himself!

Therefore, he did not have much doubt about Xiao Jingyi's decision to form a military force.

Gao Zhan listened to all this and felt his heart pound with fear.

My lord, is this something this old servant can hear?

"Gao Zhan, take this imperial edict to Prince Yi's residence and tell him that I am aware of it."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Gao Zhan replied immediately, while simultaneously recalling Xiao Jingyi's appearance in his mind.

Was the last time I saw Prince Yi 4 years ago? Or 5 years ago?

"By the way, do you know what the Crown Prince and Prince Yu are up to right now?"

Xiao Xuan changed the subject and looked at Gao Zhan.

"Ah? This old servant...how could this old servant know the whereabouts of His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness Prince Yu?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuan chuckled: "You old codger, you've been in the palace all this time, of course you don't know what they're doing."

"Now the two of them are vying for some kind of genius, the Qilin, who is said to be the one who can win the world."

At this point, Xiao Xuan said with disdain, "Hmph! My empire, how could he, a mere commoner, possibly shake it? Isn't that laughable?"

Gao Zhan simply smiled awkwardly but politely after hearing this.

He really didn't know how to respond to that.

Seeing that he didn't react, Xiao Xuan knew he was being rude and immediately waved his hand: "How long until Princess Nihuang returns to the capital?"

Gao Zhan replied, "It will probably be another half a month or so before I return with the young prince."

"More than half a month..."

Xiao Xuan pondered for a moment, then put his hands behind his back and looked ahead: "If I remember correctly, Mu Qing is already an adult."

Upon hearing this, Gao Zhan immediately understood what his emperor meant.

He replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, Prince Mu has indeed come of age."

"Ah."

"In that case, he should also shoulder the heavy responsibility of this royal palace."

Taking on the heavy responsibility of the Prince's Mansion means letting Mu Qing take over the military power from Nihuang.

"In that case, go and tell the Empress and the others to help the Princess find some talented young men. I didn't force her to marry before because of the need to guard the border."

"Now that Mu Qing has grown up, it's time for her to rest."

"Yes, this old servant will go and tell Her Majesty the Empress and the others in a moment."

"Um...."

Seeing this, Xiao Xuan didn't say anything more, nodded, and then continued to visit the Imperial Garden.
