Don't panic, nephew. I will take this pot of evil star.

How could she ask someone else to tell her about such a thing? Her hands trembled.

She replied in panic, "No, no, it was my own decision. Changjun is an excellent and tenacious girl. She is not the kind of woman who would simply marry and spend her whole life in the backyard taking care of her husband and children."

"Miss Feng has great ambitions. She is not the kind of dodder that depends on men. I admire her." Her face was serious. Although they had only known each other for a short time, she always felt that Changjun would be as capable as any man in the future.

"Your Majesty, I am deeply moved by Miss Feng's perseverance. She could have used the military achievements left by her father and brother to find a good family to marry into, but she doesn't want a life where she can predict the end of it."

"She wants to forge her own path through all obstacles, so I took the liberty of sounding out your opinion on her behalf." Having said this, she lowered her head and glanced upwards secretly.

When she met Qi Zhaodi's deep eyes, she subconsciously withdrew her gaze and dared not be presumptuous again.

The girl's identity as the eldest princess can sometimes be ignored, but she is a soul from another world. Thinking of the ancestral teachings, he has to give it an extra layer of thought.

"Alright, I understand." He waved her up and frowned, saying, "Didn't I tell you not to perform such grand formalities in private?"

Feng Xili smiled. This was the emperor, the one who had the power of life and death. How could she take his polite words seriously?

"Anything else?" He glared at me.

"Uh, no, no more." She didn't dare to say anything. If it really didn't work, she would pretend to be lost and wander around nearby. How could she leave when the matter wasn't over yet?

"Your Majesty, can I have dinner before going back?" She looked expectantly.

Emperor Qi Zhao chuckled: "Why? Are you hungry?"

"Well, a little." She smiled shyly.

"Now that you are here, how can I let my princess starve? Go ahead, Ford will make the arrangements." He was writing something without even raising his head, looking as if he was very busy and had no time to listen to her chatter.

"Li You, take your leave." She bowed.

"Eunuch Fude, can I take a walk around the palace?" she asked in a low voice.

"This one……"

"I'll just go to the Imperial Garden in front and take a look. I won't run around." She immediately promised.

With Ford's approval, she immediately turned towards the Imperial Garden.

"Father-in-law, please go and do your work. Don't worry about me." She said while waving her hand, looking very contented.

This is a little ancestor, he can't just ignore her, but he still has to go to the imperial kitchen first.

He called the palace maid Qingcui and asked her to look after Feng Xili. When it was time for dinner, she just had to lead the way for her.

She originally just made an excuse, but she didn't expect to be so shocked after arriving at the Imperial Garden.

The riot of colour was not enough to describe the splendor of this place. She looked around and luckily there were not many people around. Emperor Qi Zhao had a pretty good place with few concubines.

If she just wanders around the palace, the chance of meeting him won't be too high, which is very suitable for someone like her who doesn't like palace fighting.

As soon as she walked around a pot of white camellia, she was met with a pair of eyes as bright as stars.

……

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Feng Xili was the first to break the awkwardness: "Li You disturbed the young lady."

She bowed slightly, and the person opposite her had a flash of surprise in his eyes, and then returned the greeting: "You are too polite, my lady. I am Mu Lingyin of the Chu Kingdom."

Hmm? Mu Lingyin? Isn't that the main character tonight?

She was shocked and stepped forward to grab her wrist. This woman must not be in danger. Emperor Qi Zhao gave her the title of imperial concubine after meeting her a few times. The meaning was self-evident.

Mu Lingyin was not panicked at all, and asked softly, "What happened to the princess?"

Feng Xili finally realized that she had grabbed the other person's wrist without noticing. She loosened her grip and smiled shyly, "Uh, it's okay, it's okay."

Mu Lingyin smiled and said, "If you don't mind, how about we go sit at the Tongshui Pavilion over there?"

"Okay, okay." She agreed quickly.

The two of them sat in the Tongshui Pavilion, one in front and one behind. The pavilion was located by a lake, with a vast sea of ​​flowers stretching out by the lake. Not far away, there were several pavilions of different shapes, and there were long corridors connecting the pavilions.

Mu Lingyin looked at the unconventional Princess Liyou in front of her. She heard that she was suddenly appointed as a princess by His Majesty some time ago. Perhaps because she had not received formal royal training, she did not have that strong palace aura.

The little girl looked slightly younger than herself, her eyes were bright, but there was a light in them that she couldn't understand. The green dress she wore gave off a hazy feeling of mountains and rivers.

"Is the princess here to appreciate the flowers by herself?" Mu Lingyin started talking.

Feng Xili looked at the person in front of her. Although she was not stunningly beautiful, she had a unique charm. The calmness between her eyebrows was like a spring, delicate and moist.

"Well, I originally just wanted to stroll around, but I didn't expect to meet someone traveling the same way." She didn't act pretentiously. This person was Mu Mu's royal sister. He said that this royal sister looked very much like the original owner.

"Qingcui, could you please prepare a pot of flower tea for us?" She noticed that Mu Lingyin glanced at the palace maid behind her, so she said to the person behind her.

"Princess, please excuse me. I'll go right away." Qingcui went down trembling with fear.

"I didn't expect the princess to be so kind. She's different from what my ninth brother said!" Mu Lingyin covered her mouth and chuckled. The maid behind her was sent to get some cakes.

It took Feng Xili a long time to realize that the ninth brother she was talking about was Mu Lanxun.

She blinked. Are Mu Mu and Mu Lingyin so close?

"Mu Mu, uh... Did Prince Mu Jiu tell you about me?" She was curious. Mu Mu was not a talkative person.

"My ninth brother is a mischievous child. He used to be very naughty when he was in Chu State. I am two years older than him, so sometimes I would take him to fly kites and play children's games."

Mu Lingyin recalled that her ninth brother's mother came to power later. There was a lot of opposition in the court at that time, but it was suppressed by Emperor Chu against all odds.

He only enjoyed a few years of good life before being sent here as a hostage.

Mu Lingyin didn't know what she was thinking about. She gently held her hand and said softly, "Ninth brother was promoted to a legitimate son at the age of five. He has always been suppressed and bullied by the children before and after him. At that time, he was still young and didn't know what resistance was. When he grew up a little, he was..."

Mu Lingyin paused and patted her hand gently. "I know about the hardships that Ninth Brother has gone through, but I am not very popular in Chu State, and I have never been able to help him."

"Until a few days ago, he came to me and told me some things, among which he mentioned you." Mu Lingyin told the story slowly, and Feng Xili was fascinated by it.

"What did he say about me?" she blurted out.

"Let me put it this way. That was the first time I remember seeing Ninth Brother so excited. He didn't say much, but at that time, he really looked like a young man full of vigor and vitality."

Mu Lingyin held her hand and said, "Ninth brother sometimes doesn't like to talk. It's not because he's angry, but because he doesn't know how to explain it to you. Don't ignore him. He's easy to satisfy. You just need to coax him a little."

Feng Xili pursed her lips and smiled. It was true! That guy had given her the cold shoulder several times, but as long as she came close to him with a smile next time, he would let bygones be bygones. He was so cute.

The two of them chatted for a long time without realizing it, and only realized that it was very late when the palace maid from Manxing Palace came to them.

"Princess, aren't you going back to the inn?"
