I am a mage and a wet nurse, so using seven swords is not too much, right?

The Eastern Qin Empire had a crown prince.

Theoretically, once a country has a crown prince, the rest of the princes who have reached adulthood should move out of the palace.

Dong Qin did exactly that.

But up to now, although several adult princes have passed away, there are still a few still living in the palace.

The second prince Zhou Hongyang.

The fourth prince Zhou Hongyan.

The seventh prince Zhou Hongyi.

The ninth prince Zhou Hong is dead.

Siwanju.

It is the private residence purchased by the current Seventh Prince, His Royal Highness Zhou Hongyi, outside the palace.

It's not too far from the palace.

Siwanju is not a very luxurious place, but it is quite elegant and warm.

Above the flowing water, there is a pavilion with an octagonal eaves.

In the pavilion, a young man wearing only a white robe was sitting on a bench, looking a little loose and lazy. In front of him was a barbecue grill.

There were maids standing respectfully on both sides, but he was the one responsible for grilling the ingredients.

“Are the honey wings ready?”

The woman who was talking was sitting on the bench next to him. Unlike the lazy young man, she had a straight back and her beautiful face showed an innate heroic spirit.

Hearing this, the young man nodded quickly, "Just right, Madam, please be careful of the heat."

He handed over the freshly grilled honey chicken wings gracefully.

The golden chicken wings add a touch of color under the moonlight.

The aroma is so fragrant that you can tell at first glance that the grilled wings are successfully prepared and will make you salivate.

The woman took it casually, took a bite, and ate it whole, meat and bones included.

A piece of chicken wing is just two bites for her.

"It tastes good, but Your Highness, do you think it will burn me?" The woman's voice was crisp and cold, but if you listened carefully, you could clearly hear a hint of softness in it.

Her gentleness was only towards him.

And of course, only she could eat the chicken wings he grilled himself.

The young man handed over another piece of grilled meat and said, "Madam, you are wrong. It's not the meat that is hot, it's my heart that is hot. If you don't believe me, feel it."

He really came closer, and his loose clothes slid down further.

“……”The woman was silent.

After a moment, someone behind him said, "Your Highness looks even greasier than this barbecue now."

"That's only greasy for my wife." The young man didn't feel at all that he was being called greasy, and he raised his head proudly.

This face is actually very handsome, but when it is not smiling, the sense of alienation is so strong that people dare not approach it.

However, Xiao Wan was not among these people.

To her, Zhou Hongyi is her man, nothing more.

If he wants the throne, help him fight for it.

If anyone dared to compete with him, she would be the knife in his hand, galloping for him and killing for him.

Of course, if he dared to betray her, she would still kill him.

All she cared about was Zhou Hongyi, who also cared about her.

For Zhou Hongyi who no longer has her in his heart, it doesn’t matter whether he is dead or alive.

Therefore, the word "fear" never appears in Xiao Wan's emotions towards the man in front of her.

Not even a little bit.

"You shouldn't give the assistant quota for this Yunshan Secret Realm to Xiao Rao. He can't help you now."

Xiao Wan was eating barbecue and suddenly said.

"Didn't he bring back the child of destiny? How can you say he can't help?" The Seventh Prince of the Eastern Qin Empire was busy grilling meat, as if he was talking about a trivial matter that he didn't care about.

But how could it be a trivial matter?

Among the adult princes who were able to stay in the palace, his talent was the worst.

Even though he managed to catch up with others in terms of cultivation, he was not inferior to them.

But the path he has to take is destined to be more difficult than others.

If you are a step slower, you will never reach that position.

What's more, given the current situation, there is a monarch above, a crown prince below, and two other princes who are more famous than him.

There was even a princess who was also suppressing him.

Xiao Wan raised her eyebrows, "Your Highness should know what I mean. If Xiao Rao is replaced, it will be more beneficial for your trip to Yunshan this time."

"Madam, that boy went to a brothel." The Seventh Prince handed over the barbecue again and commented with interest, "He went to Xiaoxiang Pavilion, ordered four beauties, and even had a fight, but he didn't lose and didn't embarrass you."

Xiao Wan: "..."

The Seventh Prince was still muttering: "By the way, the child of destiny he brought back is said to be a girl. He took the girl to a brothel on the first day. This guy is really good."

After saying that, he looked at Xiao Wan with a smile, "I'm not like that. I've never been interested in the Six Wonders of the Capital."

……

When Ning Ruan and Xiao Rao were brought into this elegant courtyard by the white-bearded middle-aged man, the first thing they noticed was the smell of barbecue.

It smells so good.

Quite at the level of her fourth senior brother.

Although she had just eaten, when she smelled the aroma and felt the spiritual power faintly coming from the barbecue grill in front of her, she really felt that she could still make some progress.

Unfortunately, when she got closer, she found that the barbecue was already cooked.

The young man in charge of the barbecue placed all the delicious food in front of the woman beside him.

Then he looked up at them, his eyes focused on Xiao Rao: "Here you are, it seems you didn't suffer any loss."

The middle-aged man with a white face and no beard stepped forward and responded respectfully: "Your Highness, when Yang Wuqiu came, I was about to attack, but this girl had already blocked Yang Wuqiu with a defensive spiritual weapon, and then he retreated on his own."

"Huh?" Zhou Hongyi was surprised, and his gaze finally moved to Ning Ruan.

He knew that his brother-in-law would bring him a child of destiny.

He also knew that the Child of Destiny was extremely talented, otherwise he would not have been promoted to be the monitor of the martial arts academy.

I also know that she is only at the sixth level.

However, a cultivator at the sixth realm can produce a defensive spiritual weapon that can withstand a cultivator at the thirteenth realm and force Yang Wuqiu to give up?

"Miss Ning, please take a seat. You're welcome."

He had a very good attitude towards this child of destiny who gave him a little surprise.

It’s good to have a powerful defensive spiritual weapon.

At least when she enters the Yunshan Secret Realm, she will be able to protect herself better.

Ning Ruanzhen sat down without any intention of being polite.

"Thank you, young lady, for helping Xiao Rao today." The woman who finished the barbecue in a few bites took the handkerchief handed to her by the maid, wiped her mouth, and then said to Ning Ruan.

"It's what I should do." Ning Ruan answered quickly.

Xiao Wan shook her head: "That being said, I saved him, and he must remember this favor."

"Sister, don't you know who I am? Am I the kind of person who is ungrateful?" Xiao Rao retorted.

At this time, he didn't say much.

Completely different from usual.

The Seventh Prince looked at the two of them and said in a serious tone: "There are still a few days before the Yunshan Secret Realm opens. You can stay here during these days. If you have any questions, you can come to me. If I'm not here, you can ask Liu An as well."

Liu An was the middle-aged man who had quietly retreated outside the pavilion and stood by with his hands hanging down.

From the first moment she saw him, Ning Ruan could tell that he was a eunuch.

On the way here, Xiao Rao also personally told about his relationship with the inviter.

The Seventh Prince of Dong Qin is his brother-in-law.

But his only elder sister cannot be considered a princess.
