Feng Zhaoyun left the palace and, having nothing better to do, lifted the carriage curtain and looked at the street. Suddenly, he remembered something and said, "Jiuyi, let's go to the Protector General's Mansion."

"Yes," the carriage turned around and went to the general's mansion.

When they arrived outside the general's mansion, the guards at the door saw them and hurried in to report. After hearing this, General Xiao rushed to the door and said, "Quick! Let Qingyue come out to meet the guests!"

The servant went to Xiao Qingyue's Mingyue Garden. At this time, Xiao Qingyue was painting. The woman in the painting was wearing a moon-white cloud gauze skirt. She had a beautiful figure and was sitting lazily at a tea table by the river, looking out the window. However, the woman in the painting did not have any facial features painted on.

"Sir, His Royal Highness the War King has arrived. The general wants you to go to the front hall to entertain him."

Xiao Qingyue paused with her pen in her hand, then resumed her normal routine. "Did you tell me why His Majesty the War King came here?"

The servant scratched his head and said, "No, sir."

Xiao Qingyue continued painting, "Just say I'm not feeling well and can't see guests."

The servant looked embarrassed, "Yes..."

After the servant left, Zhu Qing looked at his master, "Sir, you...are you really not going? His Highness the War King is most likely here just for you."

Xiao Qingyue put down the pen in her hand, "Who is Her Highness the War King? I am just a passerby in her eyes. Why would she come here just for me? Zhu Qing forgot that when we left Jiangnan, she let us go without caring."

Zhu Qing nodded. He hated Jiuyi in his heart, but he didn't dare to hate the Fifth Prince. He must practice martial arts diligently. The next time he saw Jiuyi, he would not let her go. Humph!

General Xiao rushed to the door and saw Feng Zhaoyun. Just as he was about to kneel down, Feng Zhaoyun walked over and supported her. "This old minister pays homage to His Highness the Fifth Prince. Please come in quickly!"

Feng Zhaoyun didn't see Xiao Qingyue and frowned slightly, "General Xiao, how could Qingyue be in the mansion?"

General Xiao knew Feng Zhaoyun had come for his son. He glanced at the servant beside him, who shook his head. Then he awkwardly said, "Qingyue just returned from Jiangnan recently. She's not feeling well and is resting in her room. Your Highness, please go to the mansion first and have some refreshments."

Feng Zhaoyun nodded and followed General Xiao into the main hall of the mansion.

Feng Zhaoyun sat at the head of the table, and a maid served her fragrant tea. "General Xiao, did your trip to the northern border to quell the rebellion go smoothly?"

Xiao Yushan clasped his fists slightly and said, "Your Highness, everything went well. I still miss the time when I followed Your Highness to the battlefield. Your Highness's grace and elegance will be unforgettable to me in my life!"

Feng Zhaoyun chuckled, "General, you are too kind. I heard that the Duke's son, Feng Yunjin, achieved great merit this time and was awarded the title of Grand Marshal."

Xiao Yushan nodded. "Prince Feng is a man of extraordinary strategy. Without him this time, Nangong Shang would have been very difficult to deal with. He has been appointed Grand Marshal at such a young age. He has a bright future ahead of him."

Feng Zhaoyun took a sip of tea after listening to this. "What's wrong with Qingyue? Since I'm here, I want to go see him."

General Xiao was deliberately embarrassed. He had just asked his servant to invite his son again, but his son simply wouldn't come. "Your Highness... forget it. I'm afraid the disease will spread to you."

Feng Zhaoyun's eyes were dim and slightly disappointed. "In that case, I will not stay any longer and will visit you another day." After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the general's mansion accompanied by General Xiao.

Faced with such a gentle person like Xiao Qingyue, he couldn't do anything like trespassing into her boudoir, so he could only give up.

Jiuyi sat outside the carriage door and asked, "Your Highness, are you going back home?"

"Go back home."

But after returning to the mansion and having dinner, the maids came in to help her change clothes, and Feng Zhaoyun went to the bathhouse in the backyard.

The bathtub was filled with steam, and the maids on the water sprinkled flower petals all over it. After Feng Zhaoyun took off her clothes and entered, the veil fell. The maid washed her hair and said, "Everyone, get out. Jiuyi, you too."

After the people left, Feng Zhaoyun leaned gently against the edge of the bathtub and closed his eyes. Although he had received the honor of his predecessor, if he were to be made a War King, he really didn't have the ability to do so. He had to live up to this status...

Just as he was thinking, a voice suddenly rang in his ear, "What are you thinking about, Your Highness?"

Feng Zhaoyun quickly retreated to the middle of the bathtub, the petals covering the fullness of her chest. She turned around and looked at the person in shock, "Why are you here?"

Feng Yunjin was squatting there, wearing a moon-white robe, his hair tied up with a jade crown, his beautiful peach blossom eyes staring straight at her. "Your Highness, why didn't you tell me when you arrived in Kyoto?"

Feng Zhaoyun lowered his guard, "Yun Jin, I just arrived today and haven't had a chance to send anyone to inform you yet."

Feng Yunjin raised his handsome eyebrows slightly, "Oh? Your Highness went to the general's mansion today? But what do you want to see General Xiao about?" In fact, Feng Zhaoyun has always been followed by Feng Yunjin's secret guards. Wherever she goes, they will be the first to receive the news. He was really angry with this woman. She was still thinking about Xiao Qingyue.

"Yun Jin, why don't you go out first? I'll get up and get dressed and then explain to you."

Feng Yunjin tilted his head slightly and chuckled, "Your Highness, have you forgotten that I have long been yours?"

After saying that, he took off his robe and walked into the bath in his inner garments. The petals spread out. Feng Zhaoyun covered her chest with her hands and stared at him blankly. Feng Yunjin approached and put his arm around her waist. He was so close to her, "Your Highness, answer me first. What is the purpose of going to the General's Mansion?"

The familiar cool fragrance of the man seemed particularly pleasant in the warm water. Looking at his enchantingly handsome face, Feng Zhaoyun seemed to think that it would be nice to be alone with Feng Yunjin. "I...I'm going to see General Xiao to inquire about the war in the northern border."

Feng Yunjin knew she was lying, "Your Highness, shouldn't you ask me about the war in the Northern Frontier?"

Feng Zhaoyun knew that he must have known that she was going to find Xiao Qingyue. She took a deep breath and hugged his neck with both hands. "Yun Jin, tomorrow I will go to ask His Majesty for an imperial decree to grant us marriage. Are you willing to be with me?"

Feng Yunjin was aroused by the woman's sudden action and felt hot and uncomfortable. He put his face close to Feng Zhaoyun and said, "If Your Highness only has me in this life, I will be willing." After saying that, he kissed Feng Zhaoyun.

The two of them were in the bathtub. Feng Zhaoyun's legs softened and Feng Yunjin held her waist. The silky touch of his hands made Feng Yunjin's eyes darken slightly, and he demanded more frantically. Feng Zhaoyun blushed slightly when he kissed her, and she closed her eyes. At this moment, Feng Yunjin's hands began to become restless and wandered all over her body.

There was a sound of fighting outside the door. Feng Zhaoyun opened his eyes suddenly, but Feng Yunjin seemed not to hear it. Feng Zhaoyun gently pushed Feng Yunjin, and his lips moved away from him a little, "Yunjin, there is someone at the door."

Feng Yunjin had already noticed it, but he was unwilling to stop. He took a deep breath and looked towards the door.

At this time, Jiuyi was fighting outside and reporting, "Your Highness, it's Black Hawk who is with Prince Feng. He has trespassed here. Please get dressed and get up quickly."

Black Hawk looked aggrieved, "Jiuyi, I told you I came here to talk to the prince about something urgent."

Jiuyi chuckled, "Don't try to quibble. Why would Master Feng be...here..."

Prince Feng opened the door. He had already used his inner strength to dry his clothes, but his hair was still wet. "What's the matter? You better have something urgent!"

Jiuyi stared at him in amazement. Black Eagle quickly knelt down and said, "Master, the Duke has something urgent to discuss with you."

Feng Yunjin's face was filled with impatience. "Let's go!" He turned and looked at Black Hawk. "You! Go to the barracks and get thirty military sticks."

Then he disappeared into the night...
