Everyone in the hall was talking and no one noticed Jiang Yan.

She had no intention of joining in on the conversation and kept looking at Yun Ting from time to time.

Thinking of something, she said hello to everyone and went back to her room.

At this time, Madam Jiang's personal nanny walked up to her and asked softly, "Madam, the silks and satins that the prince and princess brought have all been put into the warehouse, but there is still a dagger inlaid with gems and a sword that seem to be for the second young master. Where should they be placed?"

Madam Jiang was stunned. She knew that the things the couple brought must be extraordinary, so she smiled and said, "My nanny just said that the prince and Yue'er came with not only silk and satin, but also a precious dagger and a long sword. Your willingness to come is the icing on the cake, but you are willing to spend so much money!"

Xiao Yu raised the corner of his lips, "Second Master Jiang is Yue'er's cousin, and has a good relationship with Yue'er. Yue'er will be relieved if he has a sharp blade for self-defense."

When Jiang Siqi heard that Xiao Yu had given him a sword, he stood up suddenly with anticipation glittering in his eyes.

What Prince Su and the Princess gave as a gift must not be an ordinary item.

His heart was pounding with excitement, and he bowed to Xiao Yu: "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, cousin. You guys have some tea, I'll go check out the sword and dagger."

Without waiting for Xiao Yu and Su Lingyue to say polite words, he strode out of the hall.

Madam Jiang looked at Jiang Siqi's back and smiled helplessly, "This child is still so impatient."

In Su Lingyue's memory, her uncle and aunt had always been gentle and loving towards their three children. Even when it came to Jiang Siqi, a dandy and unruly man in the past, they would only beat him when he got into big trouble.

Su Lingyue smiled gently: "My eldest cousin is calm and steady when writing, while my second cousin is lively and witty when using a sword. One is good at literature and the other is good at martial arts. Isn't this just right!"

Wang teased the child and agreed: "Although my second brother has a lively personality, he is decisive in important matters. I wonder how much better he is than many playboys in the capital!"

Mrs. Jiang nodded with a look of relief. "Yes, even if he is naughty, as long as he can live the way he wants, we will be relieved."

Looking at Mrs. Jiang's relieved and doting expression, Su Lingyue felt sour in her heart.

She had never enjoyed such pampering from her parents. She often thought that if her mother were alive, her father, Xue Man and her children would never dare to bully her, and she would be happier than she is now.

Su Lingyue watched them talking with a faint smile on her face and her eyes full of envy, so much so that they felt a little hot.

At this moment, she suddenly felt a slightly cool big hand holding her hand. Su Lingyue turned her head and saw Xiao Yu's hand holding her hand tightly.

"Mrs. Jiang, how is Lord Jiang's condition these days?" Xiao Yu changed the subject calmly.

Mrs. Jiang stopped talking to Wang, turned around to look at Xiao Yu and Su Lingyue, and was surprised to find that Xiao Yu was holding Su Lingyue's hand.

Facing their gazes, Su Lingyue lowered her head in shame and wanted to pull back, but Xiao Yu had no intention of letting go.

Seeing them like this, Wang smiled and lowered her head. She stood up holding the child and nodded to Xiao Yu and Su Lingyue, "My Lord, Sister Yue'er, please sit down. I will go to the kitchen to prepare dinner."

Xiao Yu and Su Lingyue nodded slightly.

Madam Jiang looked away from their hands, pretending not to see them, and said with a smile: "The master has been much better recently and can walk around. Lord Duan ordered a stove and thick bedding to be added to the master's cell. Miss Ling Ling also sees the master every day. Don't worry, Your Majesty."

"Well, that's good." Xiao Yu responded indifferently.

Jiang Fu has been in jail for several months and now he is being poisoned. Although the Dali Temple is taking good care of Jiang Fu, Mrs. Jiang is still worried.

No matter how good the prison is, it is not as good as home. Every servant can fight and kick, and you have a wife and children by your side. You have a warm house and bedding. It is better than being in prison anyway.

After hesitating for a while, Madam Jiang asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, I wonder when my master will be able to come out? I can't eat for a day if he's in there."

"Madam, don't worry," Xiao Yu comforted Madam Jiang, "The evidence has been almost collected. When the last witness returns to Beijing in the next few days, Master Jiang can be released from prison."

Hearing Xiao Yu say this, Madam Jiang's eyes were filled with tears. She stood up and bowed to Xiao Yu, "I would like to thank you, Your Majesty, for clearing my master's name."

Xiao Yu had a faint smile on his face. "Madam Jiang, there is no need to be so polite. Lord Jiang is Yue'er's uncle and a close minister of Daning. I will clear his name for him."

When Xiao Yu's attention was distracted, Su Lingyue took the opportunity to break free from Xiao Yu's hand, stood up and helped Madam Jiang up.

At this moment, Jiang Siqi's hearty laughter rang out from outside the hall, "What a great sword!"

As soon as the voice fell, Jiang Siqi, dressed in armor, walked into the hall holding a black sword, his face full of excitement and excitement for receiving this gift.

"Your Majesty's sword is not made of ordinary iron. It is extremely sharp. A tree as thick as an arm in the garden can be cut in half with just one chop! This is the first time I have seen such a sharp sword!"

Su Lingyue looked at the sword. The entire sword was black, even the blade was black. There were some patterns on the handle and scabbard, but no other decorations.

Although she didn't know much about swords, the color of this sword was so unusual that it must be very rare and valuable.

only……

She just realized, when did Xiao Yu prepare the sword? He didn't even tell him!

"When did the prince take it out? Why didn't I know about it?"

Xiao Yu turned his head and lowered his voice: "After Yue'er decided to give the dagger."

Su Lingyue puffed up her cheeks.

Xiao Yu raised his lips and said to Jiang Siqi in a gentle voice: "This sword is called Wuying. The sword body is made of black iron and can cut iron like mud. The sword body is black all over, so it is difficult for the enemy to detect it during a fight, hence the name."

"Shadowless Sword!"

Jiang Siqi's eyes almost popped out of his head in shock!

He knew about this sword. It was the posthumous work of Master Baiyu, a famous swordsmith from the Nanzhao Kingdom a hundred years ago. It was said that after his death, the whereabouts of the four famous swords he had forged during his lifetime were unknown.

He thought it was just a story in a book, but he didn't expect it to be real and it was with Xiao Yu.

"This sword is not a legend, it is actually in the prince's hands!"

The legend came true, and I got it so easily!

Jiang Siqi's hands were shaking slightly!

Although Mrs. Jiang, who was standing by, didn't know anything about swords, after listening to Xiao Yu's words and seeing Jiang Siqi's expression, she knew how valuable this sword was.

This sword must be worth a ton of money and cannot be bought even if you have money.

She knew her son well. He would play with the gifts given by relatives and friends during festivals for a while, and when the novelty wore off, he would throw them away everywhere.

It would be a waste of talent to give him this sword.

She clutched the handkerchief nervously, "Your Majesty, this sword is too valuable. Qi'er really can't afford it!"

Jiang Siqi was just happy in his heart. When he heard what Madam Jiang said, he immediately pulled it down and retorted unhappily: "Mom, I can bear it!"

This sword is a long-lost sword. It is not only good for self-defense, but also gives one face when wearing it. In front of that group of young masters from aristocratic families, he can also receive envious glances from others!

Su Lingyue was amused by the mother and daughter, "Aunt, the prince is one of our own. Since you gave it to my second cousin, let him keep it! At most, I can ask my second cousin to walk around the palace a few more times when he patrols!"

Jiang Siqi quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, the prince is one of us, don't be so particular about these things!"

He glanced at Yun Ting who was standing at the entrance of the hall, pulled him over, and hooked his shoulder, "From now on, when I'm not on duty, I will be like Brother Yun and serve as a guard for the prince! To protect the prince, I must have a suitable weapon!"

Su Lingyue was trying to hold back her laughter, her body was shaking, and she held onto Xiao Yu's sleeve to steady herself.

Xiao Yu also curled his lips and looked at the warm and lively scene in front of them with Su Lingyue.

Yun Ting felt a little uncomfortable suddenly being linked arm in arm with someone like this. His stern face was full of resistance and his whole body showed unnaturalness.

He tried to push Jiang Siqi away, but Jiang Siqi had no intention of letting him go.

"Mother, since the prince has given it to me, please let me keep it! I want it!"

After many years, this naughty son acted like a spoiled child to her again. For this sword, he was even willing to be a guard. It seemed that he really liked it.

She smiled and nodded, "Okay! Thank the prince and your sister Yue. After you get the sword, you must protect the prince and your sister Yue well in the future."

Jiang Siqi let go of Yun Ting, grinning from ear to ear, and bowed deeply to Madam Jiang, "Yes, son, obey your command."

After paying respects to Madam Jiang, Jiang Siqi bowed to Xiao Yu and Su Lingyue again, "Your Highness and Sister Yue'er, if you have anything to ask in the future, just tell me. I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Xiao Yu raised the corner of his lips, "Okay!"

After Jiang Siqi thanked everyone, he was about to go out of the hall with his sword in hand to play with it, but Su Lingyue suddenly called him, "Second cousin, how do you think of the dagger I gave you?"

"Oh! That dagger is pretty, and it's great for peeling apples! My cousin really thought a lot." Jiang Siqi had a look on his face waiting for praise, "Knowing that I'm picky about food and don't like apples, my cousin specially sent me a dagger to remind me. I've asked the servant to put it on the table in my room! This way, when I see the dagger, I'll think of my cousin's concern, and I'll definitely eat one every day when I wake up!"

Su Lingyue listened to Jiang Siqi's incomprehensible words in shock, and then pulled Yun Ting out of the hall to test the sword.

She turned her head to look at Xiao Yu, looking disappointed, and asked faintly: "Is that dagger for cutting fruit? I thought it could be used for self-defense."

Xiao Yu felt both amused and distressed when he saw this. After thinking for a while, he comforted him, "If you really encounter a bad guy, a long sword is more practical. Leaving the dagger in the room to peel apples for nutrition is more useful than carrying it with you, Master Jiang."

Su Lingyue sighed. At least it worked. Jiang Siqi was thoughtful and didn't just throw her gift into the warehouse to collect dust.
