While talking about daily life with Xiao Yi, Mu Qingxiao did not forget to tease her. Looking at her veiled face, he could not help but find it funny.
Although Xiao Yi was beautiful, she was only ten years old. From her flat chest, it could be seen that she had not reached the age of puberty. Why did she have to cover it up?
But really, although the current Xiao Yi had not yet developed, her face was already perfect and flawless. Her beautiful purple eyes were sparkling, and her smile could move one's heart, making people unable to forget her after a single glance.
Her cute little feet were wearing purple embroidered shoes and a fitting purple dress, revealing her delicate shoulders. She was simply adorable to the extreme.
It was good to cover her face with a veil. Perhaps it was his mind playing tricks, but Mu Qingxiao was reluctant to let others see it. This little girl's beautiful face was enough for him to admire alone.
While talking, Mu Qingxiao did not forget to use his divine sense to check what was going on in the hall. In the hall, Ying Zheng was discussing with a group of generals led by Wang Jian and a group of civil officials led by Li Si of the Prime Minister State. They were discussing the hegemony of the world.
Korea had already belonged to Qin State, and Zhao State no longer existed. The civil and military officials were discussing with each other, discussing which country would be more suitable to attack first. Because of this, the civil and military officials were quarreling even more.
Mu Qingxiao was not interested in this.
Among the six states, only Chu State still had the strength to fight. The destruction of the other states was just a matter of time. Qi State was far away on the coast of East Sea and was not a concern. Yan State and Wei State could not even take care of themselves.
Whether it was attacking Yan State or Wei State, it was just a matter of order. These civil and military officials were just moving their lips. The one who made the decision was still the king of the state. Now, they were really enthusiastic.
Instead of listening to these civil and military officials arguing endlessly, he might as well accompany his child bride and say some sweet nothings to improve their relationship.
However, what surprised Mu Qingxiao was that in addition to Ying Zheng and the civil and military officials, there was also a grandmaster hiding in the dark.
Although this person's aura was restrained, with Mu Qingxiao's cultivation and abnormal senses, he could easily detect the fierce aura emitted from him. This aura could not be more familiar. It was the aura of a sword.
With a sweep of his Divine Sense, he saw a middle-aged man with a calm temperament. His eyes revealed an unparalleled calmness.
Ge Nie was a disciple of the Ghost Valley. His swordsmanship had reached perfection, and he was known as the best swordsman in the world. He was also known as the "Sword Sage" in Jianghu. However, in order to fulfill his promise to his deceased friend, Jing Ke, he unexpectedly betrayed the Qin Kingdom and fled with his old friend, Jing Ke's son, Jing Tianming.
Mu Qingxiao thought back to the plot. According to the timeline, Ge Nie and Xing Tianming would betray the Qin Kingdom not long after.
As for the first mission, the Deep Abyss Rainbow, he would take it later.
At this moment, the argument in the hall stopped, and the silence returned. The chief eunuch walked up to Mu Qingxiao and said, "Your Highness, His Majesty invites you in."
"Wait for me here. Be good." Mu Qingxiao reluctantly let go of the purple hair in his hand and turned to walk into the hall.
After Mu Qingxiao left, just as Xiao Yi was about to follow, the chief eunuch smiled and said, "Miss, please stop. Without His Majesty's permission, no one is allowed to enter Xianyang Palace. Please wait outside for a moment. Otherwise, if His Majesty blames you, I cannot bear the consequences."
After Mu Qingxiao entered the hall, the civil and military officials all looked at Mu Qingxiao. Their gazes revealed complex emotions, and some even showed disdain.
Mu Qingxiao did not care about these ignorant officials. He also knew that the situation in the imperial court was like this. Most of the officials present supported Fu Su, who had just come of age, and some were even on Huhai's side.
Only Mu Qingxiao had never interacted with the affairs of the imperial court. He also had never made friends with any of the officials. He lived a leisurely life every day.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Mu Qingxiao walked up and bowed slightly.
Mu Qingxiao was just casual when it came to saluting. Although Ying Zheng was his father, he was still very reluctant to kneel down and salute him.
Seeing this, the civil and military officials were all surprised, but Ying Zheng did not show any dissatisfaction. "You know about the discussion in the hall just now."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Then tell me, should our Great Qin attack Wei or Yan?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the civil and military officials all looked at each other in surprise. How could such a serious matter be decided by a twelve-year-old boy? Wasn't this too hasty?
"Your Majesty, I feel that His Highness is still young. Regarding this matter, I'm afraid …"
However, before this official could finish his words, Ying Zheng's sharp gaze shot over, causing him to swallow the words that were at the tip of his tongue back into his stomach.
"Children's words carry no harm. Why don't you tell me?"
"Your Majesty, it's just a waste of time to discuss the crusade against Wei or Yan. The Qin State has strong soldiers and strong horses, and it has the Golden Fire Cavalry led by General Wang Jian. Only the Chu State has the power to fight. As for other states, they are just struggling at death's door."
As soon as Mu Qingxiao finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire Xianyang Palace became extremely tense. The civil and military officials were all stunned. This was too childish.
Sitting on the dragon throne, Ying Zheng looked at Mu Qingxiao, and a satisfied smile flashed in his eyes. "Well said. In that case, let's take down Wei first. Wang Jian …"
And so, because of Mu Qingxiao's simple words, Ying Zheng gave the order. Wang Jian accepted the order, and the civil and military officials left the court. Only the two of them were left in the entire Xianyang Palace.
"Your Majesty, I have one more request."
"What is it?"

When Mu Qingxiao arrived outside the Xianyang Palace, Xiao Yi couldn't wait to run over. Her slender hands grabbed the corner of his clothes, as if she was afraid that he would disappear.
Mu Qingxiao's lips curled into a gentle smile. He reached out and held her soft hand, and slowly walked toward the East Palace.
In the palace, Xiao Yi was packing up. Her beautiful eyes couldn't help but look at Mu Qingxiao, and her fingers made gestures.
"Of course I agree. After I've prepared everything, we will leave Xianyang tomorrow and go sightseeing and see the outside world."
Mu Qingxiao walked forward. Looking at the purple dresses hanging all around, the corner of his mouth twitched. But really, the dresses of this era were similar to modern dresses on women.
Especially when worn by beautiful and elegant women, it could reflect the beauty of the dresses. For example, the little loli in front of him was especially fond of dresses like these.
Mu Qingxiao smiled bitterly and shook his head. Under Xiao Yi's shocked gaze, he waved his sleeve, and hundreds of dresses disappeared in front of her.
Looking at her curious gaze, one dress appeared in his hand, and the rest were stored in the storage space.
