“Get up.”

Seeing Yue Er bowing to him, Xiao Nanye spoke softly.

Seeing Xiao Nanye heading towards the room, Yue Er hurriedly said, “Your Highness, the eldest miss just got out of bed. Perhaps you could wait in the main hall for a moment.”

“It’s fine, don’t mind me.”

By the time he spoke, Xiao Nanye had already entered the room.

At that moment, Jiang Peihuan had just risen from bed, her long black hair draped casually behind her. Dressed in blue, she looked up to see the man, and a smile filled his eyes.

“If my elder brother sees this, he would surely kick you out.”

Seeing the man comfortably sitting by the table, Jiang Peihuan said with a laugh.

Hearing her words, a smile also crept into Xiao Nanye’s eyes. After pouring himself a cup of hot tea, he whispered, “The young general is at the camp right now, he surely doesn’t know.”

“Chang Bai is in the camp, but I am still in the mansion.”

As Xiao Nanye’s voice fell, Xue Qi walked into Jiang Peihuan’s room.

“Cousin Qi, why are you here?”

Seeing Xue Qi naturally sitting at the table, Jiang Peihuan laughed.

Xue Qi did not look at Jiang Peihuan but said to Yue Er, “Quickly help your young miss get dressed. I’ll take you all out later.”

“Eldest Miss, let’s go wash up first.”

After glancing at Xiao Nanye, Jiang Peihuan turned and went behind the screen.

Only then did Xue Qi turn to look at Xiao Nanye, his smile vanishing instantly to be replaced by anger. “King Cheng, even though you and Huan Er are soon to be married, technically you’re not married yet. Isn’t it inappropriate for you to come to her room this early?”

“Then why did General Xue come here then?”

“Me?”

Hearing Xiao Nanye’s words, Xue Qi pointed at himself, saying irritably, “It’s not the same. Huan Er and 1 are like siblings.”

“But she and I are officially engaged.”

Xue Qi was speechless.

“Eldest Miss, how about wearing this white cloak today?”

“Just wear this one.”

When Yue Er opened the cabinet, Xiao Nanye looked at them and said.

Hearing Xiao Nanye’s voice, Jiang Peihuan and Yue Er looked at him.

Facing their expressions, Xiao Nanye directly opened the wooden box on the table.

When the box was opened, a fiery red gaze entered everyone’s eyes.

Xiao Nanye reached in and took out the fiery red cloak.

“This is made of firefox fur.”

Having grown up in Qingzhou, Xue Qi was very familiar with animal fur. He recognized the source at a glance.

“This fire fox is extremely rare. Where did you find an entire cloak?”

Xiao Nanye did not answer Xue Qi’s question. Instead, he unfolded the cloak in his hand and draped it over Jiang Peihuan.

Yue Er saw this and quickly went forward, but she was stopped by Xiao Nanye. “It’s alright. I’ll do it.”

As he spoke, he carefully adjusted the hem of the cloak for Jiang Peihuan, then fastened it at her neck.

“Eldest Miss, this cloak looks great.”

Yue Er, watching from the side, commented with a smile.

Xiao Nanye took Jiang Peihuan’s hand and led her to a mirror. “Look, do you like it?”

Following his direction, Jian Peihuan looked at the mirror.

The person in the mirror had a smile on her face, the fiery red fur making her face blossom like a peach.

“Mm-hmm.”

Hearing the voice by her ear, Jiang Peihuan nodded lightly.

Suddenly, Xue Qi drew his sword, pointing it at Jiang Peihuan’s bed. “What’s this?”

Seeing his action in the mirror, Jiang Peihuan exclaimed, “Cousin Qi, please stop!”

It turned out that a creature named Xiao Bai, sensing various scents, had run out from under the bed. Xue Qi had recognized it as a wolf and drew his sword immediately.

Seeing Jian Peihuan holding Xiao Bai in her arms, Xue Qi’s smirked,” Huan Er, is this little wolf cub yours?”

As he spoke, Xue Qi sheathed his sword.

But Xiao Bai showed his teeth at Xue Qi. Seeing this, Jiang Peihuan gently tapped Xiao Bai’s head. “Dont be rude.”

Hearing her words, Xiao Bai turned his back to Xue Qi, showing off his rear end.

Seeing this, Xue Qi raised an eyebrow.

Handing Xiao Bai to Yue Er, Jiang Peihuan laughed and said to Xue Qi, “I brought him from the West Mountain for fun.”

“This capital city is indeed full of wonders.”

“Huan Er, with the snow this heavy, the city river must be frozen. Today, I’ll take you to the river to go ice skating.”

“Sounds good.”

Seeing Xue Qi’s enthusiasm, Jiang Peihuan agreed with a smile.

After speaking, Jiang Peihuan turned to look at Xiao Nanye.

Before she could speak, the man softly said, “1’11 go with you.”

“Then let’s inform Grandmother at the Chrysanthemum Hall.”

After having breakfast in Jiang Peihuan’s courtyard, the three headed to the Chrysanthemum Hall.

The old madam’s courtyard was busy heating the floor.

When Jiang Peihuan entered the old madam’s room, it was already warm and cozy. Seeing Jiang Peihuan, the old madam’s eyes brightened, “The fur you’re wearing is quite rare.”

“In addition to the one Huan Er is wearing, 1 have prepared several pieces of darker fur. Once the embroiderers finish them, I’ll have them sent here for you,” Xiao Nanye softly replied.

“Such high-quality fur is hard to come by. Your Highness, you should also keep some for yourself.”

Seeing the concern in the old madam’s eyes, Xiao Nanye’s expression became even gentler. He walked forward and said softly, “Don’t worry, there’s plenty of these in the Cheng Wang Mansion.”

“Grandmother, 1 came to inform you that I, His Highness, and Cousin Qi are preparing to go to the moat to play.”

“After the heavy snow last night, the city river must have frozen. It must also be quite lively. You should take Xue Qi to see; he’s been here for so long and hasn’t really explored the capital.”

“Don’t worry, Old Madam. When 1 come back, I’ll definitely bring you some delicious food,” Xue Qi said with a smile.

Seeing his smile, the old madam nodded, “Alright, then 1’11 wait for you all to return.”

After thinking for a while, Old Madam Jiang looked at Xiao Nanye and said softly,” If Your Highness is free tonight, come to my place for dinner. With today’s heavy snow, I’ve asked the kitchen to prepare a pot.”

“Then I’ll bother the old madam again tonight.”

“Alright.”

“It’s getting late; you guys should leave.”

Urged by the old madam, Jiang Peihuan, Xiao Nanye, and Xue Qi headed to the city river.

As soon as they reached the river, Jiang Peihuan heard lively laughter.

Xue Qi, seeing the crowded ice, was very excited. He ran up and waved to Jiang Peihuan, “Huan Er, come quickly!”
