Shang Wuxin woke up early in the morning. He was in a bad mood because he woke up too early. His already cold expression now added a layer of sharpness.
"Prince!" Wu Jue came to the side of the prince with some timidity and watched him having breakfast elegantly. After thinking for a while, she said firmly, "Can I serve you by your side today?" She has been admiring and respecting the prince more and more these days, and recently she has been trying to become stronger and become the prince's right-hand man who can be entrusted with important tasks. This is different from her previous numb desire to protect the prince whom she had never met. Now she sincerely wants to become a subordinate that the prince can use, even though she is just a woman. Wu Wei is also a woman but can serve the prince at his beck and call. She believes that she will not let the prince down.
Wu Wei was serving food to the prince and almost dropped her chopsticks after hearing what Wu Wei said. She always knew that Wu Wei was very smart and strong. If Wu Wei had met the prince first, she would be more capable than herself. More importantly, after spending so many days together, Wu Wei saw Wu Wei's loyalty. They became good friends in private and worked for the prince together. She had thought about whether the prince would take her with him when he entered the palace this time, but she didn't dare to ask. After all, she still remembered the last time she entered the palace. It was also the last time that made her understand that only by being strong can she protect herself, otherwise she would be a burden.
"Oh!" Shang Wuxin put down her chopsticks. She had no appetite for breakfast because she woke up too early. Now she felt better after listening to Wu Jue's words. "This is a birthday banquet, not a private summons from the emperor. Of course I can take you there. But once you enter the palace, watch more, listen more, and talk less. I don't want you to cause any trouble. Do you understand?"
Wu Jue was delighted and bowed quickly with Wu Wei, "Thank you, Your Highness. I will do my duty and not bring any trouble to you!" They knew very well that although the prince looked like an immortal, he actually hated trouble.
Shang Wuxin nodded in satisfaction. "But you are my people, and you can't let others bully you. It's a good thing that you don't cause trouble, but if you do, don't embarrass me. I will take the responsibility for anything that happens!"
"Yes!" Fearless and Jupiterless nodded vigorously. Being able to follow the prince was the greatest blessing in their lives.
"Prince, the carriage is ready, but are we going into the palace now?" Steward Hai asked as he stood outside the door. He was still a little worried when he thought about the birthday gift that the prince had prepared today. But thinking about the prince's intelligence, he knew that he must be worrying too much. However, if the emperor was really angry with the prince, he would probably not take the prince seriously now.
Shang Wuxin stood up, took the handkerchief in Wuwei's hand, wiped his hands, and then walked towards the carriage outside the Prince's Mansion with two maids. But as soon as he got out of the Prince's Mansion, he saw a tall carriage made of black fragrant wood. Even without looking inside, one could tell from the outside that this carriage was worth a fortune.
"Who did it?" Shang Wuxin asked without any expression, and his face showed no joy or anger.
Chief Steward Hai quickly ran to Shang Wuxin and said with a smile, "This old servant had someone make this. Does the prince like it?" In the past, the prince's mansion was too poor to have the money to spend on these things, but now that the prince's mansion is so rich, how can the prince be wronged? When he saw that the prince's mansion had so much money, he discussed it with Wuwei and made this carriage.
Shang Wuxin knew very well what Steward Hai was thinking, and nodded, "Stealer Hai, you did a great job, I like it very much!" Then she walked into the carriage. As expected, the carriage was decorated according to her current preferences. It was simple yet luxurious and more importantly, comfortable. She had never been a person who would put herself in a difficult position. Since she had the conditions to enjoy herself, why should she put herself in a difficult position?
