This truly shocked Su Zhixiao and Li Qinghan! Both of them widened their eyes in unison. "Your Highness, Your Highness!"
"Their capital is actually so substantial?!"
They subconsciously glanced down at their still somewhat immature chests, and a mixture of surprise, envy, and disappointment quietly welled up inside them.
A thought welled up in her mind. Although she knew Su Mu would never dislike her for this, but... if she were that age, would her (Mu) brother like her even more?
What?
Li Zhaoning took in the changes in the two little girls' expressions, and a small sense of pride rose in her heart. Mu'er really adored her...
"For honeydew melons!"
Her lips curved slightly, and her eyes, as they darted about, held a hint of barely perceptible pride. With a radiant smile, she picked up a piece of tender, luxurious bok choy and placed it in Su...
Mu Zhong's voice softened slightly as she said, "Come on, Mu'er, eat more."
"Thank you, Your Highness... Aunt Ning." Su Mu accepted the thanks readily, meeting her beautiful eyes, which had lost their majesty and were now full of feminine charm, and responded gently.
Now that things have been discussed openly, he can now use this more intimate form of address freely within the Prince's residence. He is also happy that she can finally...
Prince Wang felt genuine joy at being able to unload his burdens in front of his "family."

Chapter 105 Late at Night, Meeting Aunt Hu
"Haaah!" Su Zhixiao let out a big, lazy yawn, a few tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.
Looking back, her schedule today was truly packed; she didn't have a moment to spare.
First, she sparred with His Highness—whom she should now call Aunt Ning—at the martial arts arena, and lost…
Then, daringly hiding under the dining table, he secretly tasted the "milk" his brother had generously provided, thus replenishing his body with a considerable amount of pure milk.
The process involved yang energy, but it was not only nerve-wracking, as I constantly had to activate the concealment talisman and suppress my own aura, which was also extremely taxing on my mental energy.
great.
In the afternoon, to help her brother "release his excessive yang energy," she also used all her skills, diligently employing her long, slender legs.
As a result, I couldn't help but "go" there myself.
In the afternoon, she challenged Aunt Ning again, and lost once more.
Anyway, Xiaoxiao has really had a tough day! She deserves a nice hot bath to wash away all her fatigue!
Right now, Su Mu was holding her in his arms like a docile kitten, her head wrapped in a large, soft towel, while he carefully wiped away her wetness.
Her long hair.
She squinted comfortably, like a cat being stroked, letting out satisfied, soft hums from her throat, her two fair legs...
It was swinging happily, kicking and stomping in the air.
"Alright, your hair is dry." Su Mu put down the towel, then picked up a peach wood comb and gently combed through a strand of her damp hair.
As I comb through the scalp, my fingertips occasionally brush against it, bringing a pleasant tingling sensation.
After doing all this, he lifted her up like a kitten, supporting her under her arms, and gently placed her on the soft bed.
The center.
"Xiaoxiao has been busy all day and is exhausted. She should rest early." Su Mu sat on the edge of the bed and reached out to rub her half-dry hair.
"Mmm!" Xiaoxiao tilted her little face up, gave him a sweet smile, and nodded vigorously.
However, the thought of her brother having to keep his appointment with Aunt Hu later caused the corners of her mouth, which had just turned up, to unconsciously droop slightly again.
A subtle hint of jealousy quietly surfaced.
"Oh, my little jealous one, getting jealous again?" Su Mu saw it clearly, chuckled softly, and leaned down to kiss her smooth forehead.
He gave her a light, feather-like kiss and coaxed her gently, "I'll have some free time tomorrow. I'll take Xiaoxiao out for a good stroll and to relax, as compensation, okay?"
"Okay!" Upon hearing that she could have all her brother's time with her tomorrow, Su Zhixiao's mood immediately brightened, and she happily agreed. In her excitement,
She stretched out her arms to embrace Su Mu's neck, leaned forward, and planted a loud, fragrant kiss on his lips, the kiss lingering for a long time.
Only then did they reluctantly let go.
"Xiaoxiao, you have to go to sleep well and get enough rest so you can have a lot of fun tomorrow, okay?" Su Mu tucked her in and gently reminded her.
"Okay! Xiaoxiao, I'm going to sleep now! Goodnight, brother!" Su Zhixiao closed her eyes tightly, pretending to fall asleep immediately.
A wave of fatigue washed over her again, but soon her breathing became even and deep, and she drifted off to sleep.
Looking at Xiaoxiao's peaceful sleeping face, Su Mu felt no impatience, only tenderness and affection. He sat quietly by the bedside for a while longer, until...
After confirming that she was fast asleep, he quietly got up, carefully tucked her in, turned off the light, and quietly left the room.
Inside the Prince's mansion, Aunt Ning, Li Zhaoning, already had time to attend to state affairs the next day; Xiao Qinghan, having experienced that "stimulating" heat cycle at noon, even...
After a midday rest, I still felt tired at dinner time, and now I'm already asleep.
The surroundings were quiet, and Su Mu was finally able to go to his appointment with Hu Chanyuan with peace of mind. He could roughly guess what Hu Chanyuan wanted to say to him tonight, and his heart...
A sense of solemnity and subtle anticipation inevitably arises within them.
Upon reaching Hu Chanyuan's room, Su Mu raised his hand and gently knocked on the door with his knuckles.
"Aunt Hu."
"It's Mu'er, please come in." Hu Chanyuan's gentle voice came from inside the house.
Su Mu pushed open the door and entered. Hu Chanyuan's boudoir was also elegantly and warmly decorated, but compared to the strong scholarly atmosphere of Qinghan's room, this place had a more...
He possessed a certain composure and competence.
As the chief steward of the Prince's mansion, a desk and bookshelves were naturally indispensable. On that large rosewood desk, piled high with documents and ledgers, were no less than...
There was a few items on Gu Zhaorong's desk as she handled a matter within the Mianhua Sect.
Thinking that Aunt Gu still had his assistance within the sect, while Aunt Hu mostly had to rely on herself in the Prince's mansion, Su Mu couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.
With heartache.
At this moment, Hu Chanyuan sat upright behind her desk, dressed in a red dress, holding a small calligraphy brush, intently reviewing the documents in her hands, her brows furrowed.
There was a hint of fatigue that was barely perceptible.
Seeing Su Mu enter, she raised her eyes and said gently, "Mu'er, please sit for a moment. Aunt Hu still has some files to review."
I invited you here, but instead you're being asked to wait; this is truly...
Normally, Hu Chanyuan wouldn't leave these account files piling up until night to deal with them; she just got up early this morning to cook porridge for Su Mu, and at noon...
I also worked with Qinghan to prepare lunch, but there wasn't much time available.
"It's alright, Aunt Hu." Su Mu calmly sat down in the chair opposite the desk, her gaze sweeping over the pile of documents on the table, her tone sincere.
==================================================
Page 227:
She said, "These matters are complicated, Aunt Hu, you've worked hard. If it's in accordance with the rules, perhaps Mu'er can help you with some of the burden?"
"What's this about rules?" Hu Chanyuan smiled slightly, a hint of satisfaction in her eyes. "It's nothing more than the daily routines of the Prince's residence."
It was just a matter of calculating expenses, purchasing records, and the monthly stipends and bonuses for the maids and guards. "She made it sound so easy, but Su Mu knew full well that to..."
The operation of this vast palace was managed in an orderly manner, which involved numerous trivialities and hardships, and was by no means an easy task.
Seeing that Hu Chanyuan did not directly refuse, Su Mu took it upon himself to reach for an unread account book, and then naturally picked up the pen resting on it.
The other brush on the mountain was dipped in ink, and then it began to carefully examine and calculate.
He was originally the "chief steward" of the Sleeping Flower Sect, and with his meticulous mind, he was very adept at handling these matters.
"Qin, Mu'er, you just need to rest. Auntie will handle these trivial matters." Hu Chanyuan subconsciously wanted to stop her, but seeing Su Mu's focused expression,
As I wrote, my thoughts flowed smoothly and I was already in the zone. I swallowed back the words that were about to come out, and a warm feeling welled up in my heart, making me feel very gratified.
This child... is always so considerate and sensible.
And so, in the quiet of the night, the two sat facing each other. The flickering candlelight cast warm shadows on the pages of the book and on their profiles.
The soft moonlight streamed in silently through the window, mingling with the candlelight.
For a moment, the only sounds in the study were the soft scratching of a brush on paper and the occasional rustling of pages turning. A silent understanding existed between the two.
It flows between them, quiet and beautiful.

Chapter 106 Aunt Hu's Feelings
Time slipped away silently amidst the scratching of pen on paper. With Su Mu's dedicated assistance, the once mountain of files and ledgers...
The process was completed at an astonishing speed.
Hu Chanyuan put down her calligraphy, let out a long sigh of relief, and then stretched her arms and gave a big yawn.
Her heavy, mature breasts trembled uncontrollably, outlining a breathtaking curve.
It looked especially alluring in the candlelight.
"Hmm~ It's almost done." She rubbed her slightly sore wrist, her face still showing the focus and seriousness she displayed when handling official business.
The smile gradually faded, revealing her usual gentle smile, with a hint of lazy ease in her eyes.
She stood up and slowly walked behind Su Mu. Her soft hands, carrying the faint scent of ink and the warmth of her body, naturally and gently rested on Su Mu's broad chest.
And the strong shoulders. Fingertips found the taut muscles, and with just the right amount of pressure, began to massage them.
"I really owe Mu'er a lot of help today," her voice was gentle, carrying an undeniable concern and a hint of dependence.
Otherwise, Aunt Hu would have to endure all that work by herself for who knows how long.
"Mu'er went to see distinguished guests early this morning, then went to inspect the properties in the city, and even helped Aunt Hu with some matters in the evening. You've worked hard too. Come on,
"Let Aunt Hu massage your shoulders to help you relax, okay?"
Although her words were a question, her actions did not stop; she had already begun to press the pressure seriously.
"Then thank you very much, Aunt Hu." Su Mu felt a just-right soreness and subsequent relief in her shoulders and neck, and her heart warmed.
Without refusing, she slightly widened her eyes and relaxed her body.
He knew that Hu Chanyuan had also been working hard today, managing the vast Prince's mansion and having to oversee everything, big and small. She had even gotten up early to prepare a special meal for him.
She prepared lunch with Qinghan again. Giving him a massage now might also be a way for her to relax her tense mind and relieve stress.
One approach.
