How could Feng Yili not know what Feng Yijin was thinking? Under normal circumstances, he would not care about the rewards. However, now, he really had something to ask from Feng Yijin.
“Imperial Brother, I don’t need any rewards. I just want you to write an imperial edict announcing the return of the Princess Regent to the Prince Regent’s Residence.”
‘The return of the Princess Regent to the Prince Regent’s Residence?’
‘Did he reconcile with Yu Yunxi?’
‘Does this mean that the Prince Regent’s Residence and the King of Xinan’s Residence have joined forces?’
Feng Yijin, who was sitting on the dragon throne, and the officials wore strange expressions on their faces when they heard this.
The joy in Feng Yijin’s heart faded a little when he heard Feng Yili’s words, and his expression was slightly stiff. However, he did ask Feng Yili what the latter wanted as a reward. In the end, he forced a smile on his face and said, “No wonder you left the capital for Xinan without consulting me. As it turns out, your heart is with your Princess Consort. Don’t worry. I’ll write the imperial edict for you.”
“Thank you, Imperial Brother,” Feng Yili said, thanking Feng Yijin before he led
Yu Yunxi out.
When the couple walked out, Yu Yongnian, who was waiting outside, immediately walked over. He asked, “How was it? Did the Emperor make things difficult for you?”
“Don’t worry. He’s in a good mood. He won’t make things difficult for us for the time being,” Yu Yunxi replied. Then, she thought of something and raised an eyebrow slightly as she looked at Yu Yongnian and said meaningfully, “We’re fine, but you might not be fine. Your wife might be going to Nanyue with Nan
Xun.”
“My wife? I’m not married yet. How can I have a wife?” Yu Yongnian said with a red face.
“Oh, right. She’s not your wife yet. She’s just determined to marry you. In any case, Nan Xun has taken a liking to the Fourth Princess. He wants to marry her and make her his Crown Princess,” Yu Yunxi said.
“Nan Xun has taken a liking to the Fourth Princess? That’s not right. I don’t think he has any interactions with her at all. Why did he suddenly want to marry her?” Yu Yongnian asked, confused.
“Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. In any case, I’m sure you know that Feng Weiping will only suffer if she follows Nan Xun back to Nanyue. Are you going to tell Feng Weiping about this?” Yu Yunxi asked as she studied Yu Yongnian’s expression.
Yu Yongnian’s face turned red again when Yu Yunxi teased him. He said, “I’m not going to do that. Moreover, since you told me about it, it means that the Emperor must have agreed to it. Since that’s the case, there’s no need for me to say anything. The Fourth Princess will soon find out about it.”
‘Indeed.’
Yu Yunxi nodded. Based on Yu Yongnian’s reaction, it seemed like he really did not have any feelings for Feng Weiping at all. With this, her action could not be considered as breaking up a pair of lovebirds. She rubbed her neck and said, “Alright, I’m tired after traveling for so long. I’m going to go back and rest first.’
However, at this moment, a few maidservants hurried over.
“County Princess, our master wants to meet you.”
‘Our master?’
Yu Yunxi’s eyelids twitched when she heard this. Then, she asked icily, “Is it Consort Qin?”
After all, she had yet to settle scores with Consort Qin.
The maidservant hurriedly said, “No. Our master is the Empress.”
‘The Empress wants to see me? Why does she want to see me?’
Yu Yunxi’s eyes flashed.
However, before Yu Yunxi could reply, Feng Yili decisively refused the invitation. “Go back and tell your master that the Princess Regent won’t be seeing her. If she has anything to say, she can come to the Prince Regent’s Residence.”
The maidservants turned pale in fright immediately. They also did not expect that it would be so difficult to invite Yu Yunxi.
“B-but, but the Empress…”
Feng Yili did not wait for the other party to finish speaking before he held Yu Yunxi’s hand and pulled her away.
“Wait…” Yu Yunxi said, shaking her head slightly. She turned back to the maidservants and asked expressionlessly, “How is Consort Qin these days when we were away from the capital?”
“Consort Qin? She’s gone to cultivate with the Imperial Preceptor a few days ago. I don’t think she’ll be returning so soon,” the maidservant quickly replied.
‘The Imperial Preceptor again? Moreover, she left only a few days ago. What a coincidence!’
In Yu Yunxi’s opinion, Consort Qin had deliberately left, worried that they would expose her when they returned. Moreover, this matter was also clearly related to the Imperial Preceptor. It seemed like they had to further investigate this matter.
Finally, Yu Yunxi waved at them and said, “Alright, you can go back and report to your master.”
After they walked away, Yu Yunxi wanted to tell Feng Yili to investigate the matter.
“Feng Yili… Consort Qin and the Imperial Preceptor…”
Feng Yili interjected softly, “I understand. After returning to the residence, I’ll send Jiang Ying and the others to investigate the relationship between Consort Qin and the Imperial Preceptor and their whereabouts.”
“Okay.”
After getting into the carriage, Yu Yongnian, who came along, asked, “Where are we going now?”
The carriage was very big with more than enough space for three people, but Yu Yongnian felt like he was sandwiched between the couple.
“Where else can I go? I’m going to the Revival Hall first. Junjin is there. Oh, right, we’ll pass by the Yu Residence later so I’ll drop you off,” Yu Yunxi said faintly.
Although Yu Yunxi felt that Yu Yongnian was not a bad person, Madam Chen was his biological mother no matter what. She had no intention to sow discord between them.
However, Yu Yongnian frowned after hearing this. He seemed resistant to the idea. He crossed his arms and coughed lightly before he said with a straight face, “No need. I’ll go back later. I… I also want to see the little fellow. He often asks me to teach him swordsmanship. I feel like he’ll miss me if I’m away from him for too long…’
Yu Yunxi: .
Feng Yili:
Yu Yunxi said sincerely, “I realized that after you got close to Luo Xiuran, you’ve developed a thick skin like him… How impressive…’
“You…” Yu Yongnian was embarrassed, but he did not know how to refute her words.
“Do you know why Junjin asked you to teach him swordsmanship instead of asking me?” Feng Yili suddenly asked in a low voice.
“That’s because he likes me more!” Yu Yongnian said confidently. He even looked at Feng Yili with a goading expression.
Feng Yili was not angry. Instead, he chuckled and said, “That’s because my sword technique is too complicated for him at his age. Your sword technique is simple, and it’s just right for his age…’
“You, you…”
‘Why are these two men so petty?’
Yu Yunxi quickly spoke up to ease the tension, saying, “Alright, alright, that’s enough. Let’s go and see Junjin. He must be waiting for us anxiously.”
Meanwhile, the little bun was in the kitchen in the Revival Hall.
As he added firewood to the stove, he muttered to himself, “Mother likes Father’s cooking so she should like mine as well…
At this moment, his little face was stained black.
When he heard movement outside, he quickly ran out. He said excitedly, “Father, you’re back!”
However, in the next moment, the little bun heard someone saying disdainfully, “You’re not qualified to address my father as ‘Father’!”
