As soon as Yu Yunxi alighted from the carriage, the manager of the Lotus Moon Pavilion greeted her with a smile, “So it’s the Eldest Prince. The Lotus Moon
Pavilion is really honored to have you here.”
Yu Yunxi recognized the other party immediately. After all, she had taken the Mountain Dwelling painting from him previously.
However, the other party did not seem to recognize her. He only recognized her identity based on the emblem of the Eldest Princess’ Residence on her carriage.
Yu Yunxi asked softly, “Does the Lotus Moon Pavilion have a quiet room?”
“Of course, Eldest Princess,” the manager replied with a smile before he made a move to lead Yu Yunxi to the second floor.
However, at this moment, another person alighted from Yu Yunxi’s carriage, drawing everyone’s attention. When they saw the fanged mask on the other party’s face and sensed the other party’s fierce aura, their hearts sank.
Even the manager of the Lotus Moon Pavilion, who was smiling earlier, looked very flustered at this moment. He said nervously, “Eldest Princess, this…”
“He’s the King of Youshan. I’m going to treat him to a meal so the Lotus Moon Pavilion must serve its best dishes later,” Yu Yunxi said indifferently.
There were many people in the capital who paid attention to each of Yu Yunxi’s moves. She knew that news of her being with the King of Youshan must have spread by now. Hence, there was no need for her to hide anything. She might as well use the chance to show this to everyone.
“Of course, Eldest Princess,” the manager replied nervously as he wiped the sweat off his forehead.
Although the capital was far from the King of Youshan’s fief, they had all heard the terrifying rumors about him.
The manager could not help but wonder fearfully if the King of Youshan would kill a few people to liven things up later. After he brought them to the room on the second floor, he ran away quickly. It was as though he was afraid that he would be killed if he was a step slower.
Yu Yunxi could not help but laugh when she saw the manager flee. She said with a smile, “The King of Youshan is indeed famous.”
Feng Yili could not help but smile when he saw her joking with him. He said slowly, “Of course. I’ve been vicious for so many years. How can they not fear
Yu Yunxi raised an eyebrow. At the same time, she thought that it was good that the King of Youshan’s reputation was so terrifying. It could save her a lot of trouble.
Yu Yunxi took a seat, and just as she was about to say something, she saw someone peeking into the room. She thought it was an assassin so she hurriedly brought a silver needle out.
“Wait! Wait a minute, Yunxi!” Luo Xiuran called out anxiously. He had seen how skillfully Yu Yunxi had wielded the silver needle in the past. If he was not careful, he might die from it.
When Yu Yunxi heard Luo Xiuran’s voice, she could roughly recognize it. She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Feng Yili with a probing gaze. “King of Youshan, this is your man, right?”
Feng Yili looked at Luo Xiuran’s foolish appearance that could not be hidden even with a human skin mask, and his head hurt a little. He replied helplessly,
“Yes.”
Luo Xiuran quickly entered the room. Then, with a smile on his face, he ran
and sat between Feng Yili and Yu Yunxi. He asked shamelessly, “I heard that you’re having a meal in the Lotus Moon Pavilion. I came to have a look since I was in the area. Can I get a free meal?”
Yu Yunxi asked curiously, “If I’m not mistaken, previously, the King of Youshan said you’re the Young Marquis of Tianxia…”
Yu Yunxi wondered why a noble from Tianxia would come to Xichu at this time.
Luo Xiuran’s body stiffened when he heard those words. He had almost forgotten about this matter. Since Feng Yili hid his identity from her, he wondered if he should hide his identity and deny it.
While Luo Xiuran was still feeling troubled, Feng Yili said in a deep voice, “Yes, he’s from Tianxia. He’s now a guest of the King of Youshan’s Residence.”
‘He admitted it just like that?’
Luo Xiuran looked at Feng Yili, asking with his eyes what they should do next.
Feng Yili pursed his lips. He really did not know what to do; he did not know how to restore Yu Yunxi’s memory.
Yu Yunxi did not ask any more questions. She was not the Emperor. Even if the other party came to Xichu with bad intentions, it had nothing to do with her.
At this moment, a waiter entered the room to serve the dishes, breaking the awkward atmosphere.
“Eldest Princess, King of Youshan, these are the signature dishes of the Lotus Moon Pavilion. Please enjoy them,” the waiter said respectfully before he fled the room.
Yu Yunxi was very hungry so she did not bother to stand on ceremony with them. She said, “It’s just us. Let’s eat.”
However, just as Yu Yunxi picked up her chopsticks, two voices rang from outside.
“I, Ma Hao, request an audience with the Eldest Princess.” “I, Qin Wencheng, request an audience with the Eldest Princess.”
‘Qin Wencheng? Why is he like a ghost haunting me?’
Yu Yunxi’s head hurt when she heard Qin Wencheng’s name.
As for Ma Hao, Yu Yunxi did not need to guess to know that he was Commander Ma, Ma Wanyang’s father. She did not even need to guess why he had come. She put down her chopsticks and said coldly, “Come in.”
With her permission, the door opened, and Ma Hao and Qin Wencheng walked in at the same time.
Qin Wencheng looked up and saw the light illuminating the perfect curvature of her face. In his eyes, she was as beautiful as a painting. His heart burned with passion immediately. During the palace banquet, it was difficult for him to have a closer look. Now that he was looking at her at such a close distance without a veil covering her face, he found that she was shockingly beautiful. Even Chu Zhiya, the Third Princess, could not compare to her.
Qin Wencheng’s heart was still beating wildly in his chest when he sensed a gaze on him. He turned to look and met Feng Yili’s murderous gaze. He was
instantly shocked and broke out in cold sweat.
‘Why is the King of Youshan with her? Moreover, why is he looking at me as though he wants to kill me?’ Qin Wencheng wondered inwardly. After thinking about it, he confirmed that he had never offended the other party before.
Yu Yunxi glanced at Ma Hao. “Commander Ma?”
Ma Hao hurriedly lowered his head and said respectfully, “Yes, Eldest Princess.”
What happened last night was still vivid in Ma Hao’s mind. He knew that the Eldest Princess who had just returned was definitely not a pushover.
Yu Yunxi asked in a leisurely manner, “I don’t think I’ve met Commander Ma before. I wonder why you came to look for me in the Lotus Moon Pavilion?”
Although she could guess the other party’s intention, she wanted the other party to take the initiative to speak first..
