The Prince of Beiliang's Mansion was located on Mount Qingliang. This mountain was extremely prosperous and was a veritable treasure land of Feng Shui.
The Northern Liang Mansion was built in a grand and imposing manner. It was obvious that it was the work of a master.
"This Prince of Beiliang's mansion is even more magnificent than the Imperial Palace.”
"Compared to this, my Imperial Residence is much worse.”
Standing in front of the gate of the Prince of Beiliang's mansion, Zhao Ce could not help but sigh.
When Chen Zhibao heard Zhao Ce's words, he secretly cursed Zhao Ce for being a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.
"When I go back, I'll make the mansion even more imposing." Zhao Ce smiled.”
Chen Zhibao felt that Zhao Ce was dawdling and urged,""Wangye, godfather is still waiting for you. Hurry up and go in!”
Zhao Ce nodded." Indeed, we can't let father-in-law wait. Let's go!"”
Chen Zhi? Leopard took the lead and walked into the mansion.
Zhao Ce, Nangong Pushe, the green bird, and the sweet potato followed closely behind.
Normally, the doors of the Imperial Residence would not be fully opened.
Today, in order to welcome Zhao Ce, Xu Xiao ordered the servants to open the middle door of the wangfu.
It could be seen that Xu Xiao still valued Zhao Ce as his son-in-law.
"Greetings, son-in-law!"
The servants of the Prince's mansion lined the streets to welcome him, each and every one of them greeting Zhao Ce respectfully.
Zhao Ce felt the respect and had a warm smile on his face.
Since Xu Xiao wanted to meet Zhao Ce, Nangong Pushe and the others naturally wouldn't follow.
Sweet Potato and Green Bird were very familiar with the Prince of Beiliang's residence, so they took Nangong Pushe away.
At this moment, Xu Xiao was waiting in the study.
Chen Zhibao brought Zhao Ce to the door of the study.
"Father, I have brought the King of Lanling."”
A deep and steady voice came from the study,""Alright, thank you for your hard work. Go and rest!”
"Yes."
Chen Zhibao replied before turning around and leaving, not even looking at Zhao Ce.
Zhao Ce ignored Chen Zhibao.
He said politely to the study,"Father-in-law, your son-in-law has come to pay his respects to you.”
"Come in!"
"Alright."
Zhao Ce took a deep breath, then walked forward and pushed open the door.
Zhao Ce walked into the study room and saw a middle-aged man with gray hair, dark skin, and a hunched body sitting behind the desk. His eyes were bright.
It was obvious that this middle-aged man was the renowned Prince of Beiliang, Xu Xiao.
Xu Xiao sized up Zhao Ce, then smiled amiably and said,"Sit anywhere."
Although Xu Xiao looked like a frail old man, he could give people a lot of pressure.
Zhao Ce was indeed a little reserved, but he was not nervous.
He smiled and nodded, then sat down opposite Xu Xiao.
Xu Xiao said in a gentle tone,"You came from Lanling. You must be tired from the long journey. It must have been a little hard for you!"”
"It's alright."
"I've been playing along the way. It's quite comfortable."”
Xu Xiao chuckled,"You sure know how to enjoy yourself."”
Zhao Ce smiled and said nothing.
Xu Xiao looked at Zhao Ce and said,"Logically speaking, you just got married, so you should enjoy the warmth of a family."”
"If I call you to Northern Liang, will you be angry with me?”
"No." Zhao Ce answered without hesitation.”
"I originally wanted to travel around the world. This time, I can visit half of Li Country in Beiliang.”
Xu Xiao nodded.”
"I came straight to the Prince's mansion, so I didn't prepare any gifts. Please forgive me, father-in-law," Zhao Ce said with a smile.”
"It's fine."
Xu Xiao waved his hand.”
"That's good."
Zhao Ce nodded and asked tentatively,""Father-in-law, why did you call me to Beiliang this time?”
"It's nothing serious. As a father, I just want to see my son-in-law."”
"Oh."
Zhao Ce nodded and said nothing more.
"Zhao Ce, I also thought that you weren't as good at martial arts as the rumors said, but I later found out that the rumors were false."”
"You know martial arts, and you're extremely talented in martial arts. You've reached the Grandmaster Realm at such a young age, and you've even been accepted as a disciple by Snow Moon Sword Immortal Li Han Yi.”
Zhao Ce didn't deny it and said with a smile,""Father-in-law is really well-informed. He figured out my background so quickly.”
Xu Xiao stared at Zhao Ce and said,"I haven't figured out your bottom line.”
"You're so secretive that no one can figure you out.”
Zhao Ce laughed." Everyone more or less has some secrets. I admit that I have some secrets, but it's not that I'm hiding them."”
"I won't say much. After spending more time with each other, father-in-law will understand what kind of person I am.”
Xu Xiao nodded and said,"Alright, you can stay in Beiliang for a while."”
Zhao Ce had already planned to stay in Beiliang for a while longer, so he readily agreed,""Alright, I'll do as you say."
"Alright, I don't have much to say.”
"I only have one wish. I hope that my daughter can be happy. I hope that you and Wei Xiong can live a good life." Xu Xiao said seriously.”
"Don't worry, father-in-law, I'll definitely live a good life with Wei Xiong," said Zhao Ce immediately.”
Xu Xiao nodded and said,"Alright, there's nothing else. Go and rest first!”
"I'll ask the servants to bring you to your place.”
"Alright." Zhao Ce nodded.
Then, Xu Xiao called over a servant and led Zhao Ce to the guest room to rest.
After watching Zhao Ce leave the study, Xu Xiao muttered to himself,"This kid is not simple."
"As expected, as a member of the Zhao Imperial Family, he's not easy to deal with.”
"I handled Wei Xiong's marriage too easily before. I should have checked it more.”
"In the following period of time, we have to properly understand this Zhao Ce.”
Xu Xiao asked someone to specially clear out a courtyard for Zhao Ce to live in.
This courtyard was named Green Bamboo. Coincidentally, it was right next to the Wutong Courtyard where Xu Fengnian lived.
When Zhao Ce arrived at the Green Bamboo Court, Sweet Potato, Green Bird, and Nangong Pushe had already arrived in advance.
When Nangong Pushe saw Zhao Ce, he immediately asked,""Zhao, when are you taking me to Tide-listening Pavilion?”
The reason why Nangong Pushe followed Zhao Ce to the Prince of Beiliang was to enter the Tide-listening Pavilion to read those martial arts manuals.
"Don't worry, Miss Nangong. I'll find a chance to bring you to the Tide-listening Pavilion." Zhao Ce replied.”
"I, Zhao, am a man of my word. Since I promised to bring you to the Tide-listening Pavilion, I will definitely keep my word.”
Although Zhao Ce looked sloppy and unreliable on the surface, he was a man of his word.
Since Zhao Ce had already said so, Nangong Pushe couldn't say anything more.
"Zhao, I hope you can hurry up.”
With that, Nangong Pushe turned around and walked into her room.
