Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At this time, Feng Weizhou’s trusted aide said indignantly, “Crown Prince, the Prince Regent is too arrogant!”

‘Although the Crown Prince doesn’t hold a lot of military power, he’s still the heir to the throne! How can he humiliate the Crown Prince? Moreover, based on his words, does he plan to rebel?’

Feng Weizhou took a deep breath to calm down before he said, “Quick, bring me a brush and ink. I have to write a letter to Imperial Father and report this matter to him.”

“Yes, Your Royal Highness!”

On the other side, Jiang Ying and Jiang Chuan followed behind Feng Yili.

Jiang Ying hesitated for a long time before he finally asked curiously, “Your

Royal Highness, although you disliked the Emperor and the Crown Prince in the past, you’d try to restrain yourself a little. Today, you…•

Jiang Chuan nodded and chimed in, “The Emperor and the Crown Prince and narrow-minded and highly suspicious. After today, I’m afraid that they’ll be even more guarded. Based on your words earlier, they definitely won’t let you off…

“I tried to restrain myself a little previously, but how did they treat my Princess Consort?” Feng Yili said coldly as he sneered. His dark eyes glinted icily, and his aura was terrifying at this moment.

Realization dawned on Jiang Ying and Jiang Chuan immediately.

‘So it’s because of the Princess Consort…

“Previously, I retreated step by step, but it still couldn’t keep their wolfish ambitions in check. If that’s the case, why would I still need to be polite to them? Moreover, they’re Yunxi’s enemies. I should help her get rid of her enemies as soon as I can…” Feng Yili said seriously.

Jiang Ying and Jiang Chuan were at a loss for words.

‘As expected, it’s for the Princess Consort again..

At this moment, the door of a room swung open, and Yu Yongnian walked out.

“Feng Yili, you’re here?” Yu Yongnian said resentfully. Ever since Yu Yunxi’s accident, he had been angry with Feng Yili.

Feng Yili stopped in his tracks. He recalled the conversation between Yu Yongnian and Feng Weizhou, thinking to himself, ‘Yu Yongnian still cares a lot about Yunxi… At least he has a conscience…’

“There’s a banquet in Xichu. What’s so strange about me attending?” Feng Yili asked calmly.

Yu Yongnian’s expression darkened even more as he questioned resentfully, “Why aren’t you looking for my sister? It’s only been a few months, but you’ve already given up?”

“Who said I gave up?” Feng Yili asked meaningfully as he raised an eyebrow.

“What do you mean?” Yu Yongnian asked, looking slightly anxious.

However, Feng Yili did not intend to explain himself. He turned around and entered the room.

Yu Yongnian gritted his teeth as he looked at the tightly shut door.

‘Feng Yili’s temper is getting worse and worse…’

However, when Yu Yongnian recalled Feng Yili’s earlier words, a thought appeared in his mind, and his heart burned with hope.

“Quick. Investigate what the Prince Regent has been doing since he came to the capital of Xichu!”

‘Perhaps Sister isn’t dead…Perhaps she’s in the capital of Xichu!’

Early in the morning.

“What’s wrong?” Yu Yunxi asked helplessly as she massaged her temples. She had slept a little late last night but was woken up so early so she could not help but feel a little annoyed.

Qian Qing knew Yu Yunxi was unhappy, but people from the imperial palace were here. She said, “Eldest Princess, Eunuch Li Xu is here. He said he came to deliver the Emperor Emeritus’ order for you to accompany the Third Prince of Beixiao around the capital.”

Qian Qing’s words swept away Yu Yunxi’s sleepiness immediately. She naturally knew this was her grandfather’s way to match her with Xiao Shici. She said with a frown, “Help me refuse him. Tell him that the state banquet is tonight, and I don’t have time for anything else.”

However, Qian Qing shook her head and said, “I’ve already used this excuse earlier. However, Eunuch Li Xu said that you don’t have to worry about anything. All you need to do is attend the banquet tonight. He said what you should focus on is to cultivate your feelings with the Third Prince.”

Yu Yunxi:

“Then tell Eunuch Li to go to the relay station and look for the Third Prince. The Third Prince will refuse him on my behalf, ” Yu Yunxi said firmly.

After all, she had already made things clear to Xiao Shici last night. Their engagement was just temporary. There was no need for them to cultivate feelings.

Unexpectedly, Qian Qing’s expression turned strange when she heard Yu Yunxi’s words. She said helplessly, “Eldest Princess, the Third Prince of Beixiao arrived an hour ago. He’s been waiting for you outside the courtyard.”

“What?”

Yu Yunxi could no longer sit still. She hurriedly got up and put on her robe before she opened the door to take a look.

Sure enough, Xiao Shici was sitting under a big tree and drinking tea in a leisurely manner.

When Xiao Shici heard the commotion, he slowly raised his head and smiled at Yu Yunxi, saying, “Yunxi, take your time. Don’t be anxious.”

Yu Yunxi:

Yu Yunxi could not care less about her appearance at this moment. She quickly walked over and said in a lowered voice, “Xiao Shici, didn’t we agree last night that we…”

Xiao Shici tilted his head, looking a little pitiful as he said, “I’m not familiar with the capital of Xichu. I thought we were friends. Are you unwilling to show me around?”

Yu Yunxi was at a loss for words.

‘It seems like I’d thought too much… It’s really not strange for friends to spend time together…’

Xiao Shici continued to say gently, “Moreover, the Emperor Emeritus has good intentions. Don’t reject his good intentions.”

Seeing that Yu Yunxi was still frowning, Xiao Shici asked, “Could it be that you have plans in the afternoon? If that’s the case, I won’t trouble you.:

“No, I have no plans in the afternoon. Alright, I’ll go and get ready now. After that, I’ll walk around the capital with you. After all, I’ve been here for a while, but I haven’t really explored the place…” Yu Yunxi said before she hurried back into her room.

Yu Yunxi did not notice the extremely gentle expression on Xiao Shici’s face as he looked at her back and said, “Take your time. I’m not in a hurry.”

Unlike Yu Yunxi, Meng Xia and Qian Qing noticed Xiao Shici’s expressions and thought to themselves uneasily, “Does the Third Prince really only treat the Eldest Princess as a friend?’

Yu Yunxi was very fast. Xiao Shici did not wait for long before she returned. She was dressed simply today, and she wore a veil on her face. When she looked at Xiao Shici with her bright eyes, his hand that was holding the teacup stilled for a moment, and his gentle gaze briefly surged with emotions.

Xiao Shici rose to his feet and said gently, “You’re done? Then, let’s go.”

When Li Xu, who had been waiting at the door, saw Yu Yunxi and Xiao Shici, he almost laughed out loud. He said happily, “Third Prince, Eldest Princess, I won’t disturb you anymore. Have fun. The Emperor Emeritus will send a carriage to pick you up tonight. I’ll return to the palace now to report to the Emperor Emeritus.”

With that, Li Xu quickly left.

‘Based on the speed at which the Third Prince and Eldest Princess are getting along, it won’t be long before the Emperor Emeritus will be able to hug his great-grandchild!’
