Feng Zhaoyun calmly picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and then said, "She is smarter than her third sister Feng Yaoxue."

The three people who were originally making noise stopped immediately after hearing this and looked at Feng Zhaoyun.

Vice Admiral Xue said, "Does Her Royal Highness also think she's extraordinary?"

Feng Zhaoyun nodded and said, "If she was truly a weak and incompetent princess, logically, she would have hidden herself away and not been involved in this matter. She wouldn't have rushed directly to the Crown Princess's residence to test me. From the look in her eyes just now, I saw that she wasn't afraid of me at all, yet her face revealed a very weak and timid expression. From this, it seems that this person is quite scheming and cunning, and is definitely not a simple person."

Xiao Siying was stunned after hearing this and said admiringly, "Your Highness is really amazing..."

Feng Zhaoyun picked up the jade pot and poured himself a cup of tea. As he poured, he said, "It seems that she can no longer hold back. We must keep a close eye on her all the way to Yan State."

Jiuyi was about to accept the order, but Xiao Siying beat him to it. Xiao Siying patted his chest with a proud look on his face and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, leave it to me!"

Jiuyi helplessly held his forehead...

General Xue looked at her and Jiuyi, covered his mouth and chuckled, then cleared his throat and said in a serious tone, "General Jiu, thank you for your hard work along the way."

Jiuyi glanced at Deputy General Xue and knew what she meant. He quickly bowed to his master and said, "Your Highness, why don't you let General Xue go to Yan State with us?"

General Xue panicked upon hearing this and quickly clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness! I have to train the troops in Shang State and am very busy. I will stay in Shang State to train diligently and wait for Your Highness to return for inspection!"

After hearing this, Xiao Siying and Jiuyi smiled secretly.

Feng Zhaoyun looked at the playful expressions of the others and shook his head helplessly, "Everyone, go back and rest. I still have to go to the palace to see the emperor."

After hearing this, the three of them stood up and saluted, "Yes, Your Highness."

Feng Zhaoyun took Jiuyi out of the Princess's Mansion, got on a carriage, and drove towards the imperial palace.

Feng Zhaoyun looked at the white porcelain teapot on the small coffee table in the carriage, reached out to take it, and opened the lid.

Feng Zhaoyun was shocked...Where is my tea?

Feng Zhaoyun lifted the car curtain and looked at Jiuyi, "Jiuyi, where is my tea? Why is it all gone?"

Jiuyi looked puzzled, then clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, I don't know, but I have specifically instructed that no one should dare to touch this jar."

Feng Zhaoyun was slightly angry, "Where did he go? Did he just disappear like that?"

Jiuyi clasped his fists and said, "It is my fault, but... Your Highness, could it be His Highness Nangong..."

Feng Zhaoyun suddenly realized something, then snorted and lowered the curtain. It must be that guy who stole the tea he had placed in the carriage. Fortunately, it was only a small part.

This is the tea that only the most noble people in the royal family of Yan State can have. I don’t know when we can have it again.

When I meet Nangong Shang, I will definitely settle the score with him.

Arriving at the palace, Feng Zhaoyun got off the carriage and headed towards the imperial study.

When they arrived at the imperial study, Zhou Fuhai welcomed her in. As she entered the imperial study, the empress glanced at her, then sneered and said nothing.

Feng Zhaoyun bowed to the Empress, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

The Queen held the document and looked at her and said, "We will leave for Yan Kingdom tomorrow. Please be careful on the road."

Feng Zhaoyun said seriously, "Mother, your son and His Majesty Nangong's engagement is this month. If I ask for the eldest son of the Yan Kingdom's emperor now... it would be inappropriate. If your husband doesn't arrive at the mansion yet and I ask for someone else, it would be detrimental to His Majesty Nangong's reputation."

The empress didn't look at her, her lips curled slightly as she said, "Oh? What if I ask you to marry the eldest son of the Emperor of Yan as your Crown Princess?"

Feng Zhaoyun was shocked after hearing this. "Mother, this is even more unacceptable. If you do this, wouldn't it be going back on your word? The engagement between this son and His Majesty Nangong was granted by you."

The Queen was slightly angry, put down the document in her hand, looked up at her, and said, "You are so kind and righteous!"

Seeing that the empress was angry, Feng Zhaoyun quickly lowered his head and knelt on one knee.

There was a moment of silence in the imperial study. After a while, the empress picked up the document she had just put down and said, "Well, if you can ask for the eldest son of the Yan Kingdom to be your concubine, that would be fine. But since he is the eldest son of the Yan Kingdom, how could he be willing to do that?"

Feng Zhaoyun's face was serious at this time. He bowed and saluted, but paused for a moment. "Your son... has broken his promise to others many times, and made promises but did not fulfill them. Now, your son must fulfill this promise and never let others down again. If the eldest son of the Yan Kingdom is unwilling, your son will not force him. Since he is the eldest son of the Yan Kingdom, he will find a good husband in the future. I will not be in trouble..."

The Queen chuckled softly and raised her eyebrows slightly. "No one can predict what will happen in the future. Mother advises you not to be so obsessed with one person. This time when you go to Yan State, you must find a way to marry the eldest prince."

Feng Zhaoyun looked embarrassed, "Your son...will do his best."

He knew in his heart that the current eldest prince of the Yan Kingdom might be Yun Jin, and he was willing to meet him.

But she was already engaged to Nangong Shang. How could she ask someone else to be her mistress before the wedding? Where would Nangong Shang be put by doing so?

He had betrayed Yun Jin once before and promised him to make him the lord, but he failed to do it in the end.

Yun Jin is now of noble status. If he doesn't want to continue to be with me, I will never blame him. After all, it might be better for him to leave me now.

Seeing her worried look, the Queen was very upset. She waved her hand casually and said in a bored tone, "Go back and prepare well. Don't be an eyesore here."

Feng Zhaoyun bowed and said, "Yes, I will take my leave."

Walking out of the imperial study, Feng Zhaoyun headed towards the palace gate.

The next day.

Feng Zhaoyun was ready when he left the Princess's Residence. He saw the Ninth Princess Feng Yaoyu's carriage parked at the door waiting for him.

Seeing Feng Zhaoyun coming out, Feng Yaoyu hurried forward and saluted respectfully, "Greetings to Her Royal Highness, Your Highness, may you live a thousand years."

Feng Zhaoyun narrowed his brows and looked at her. "Ninth Princess is quite active today. You don't seem to be sad for your father at all. You forget things so quickly."

Upon hearing this, Feng Yaoyu felt a surge of hatred within her, yet she maintained a gentle expression. She lowered her head, pretending not to look at her. "Sister Crown Princess, you... misunderstood. I was simply following Mother's orders. Besides, I knelt outside the Imperial Study for a whole day and night yesterday. Mother has already agreed to send the Imperial Physician. I'm sure Father is already much better by now."

Feng Zhaoyun chuckled, "You can say it."

He then got on the princess' carriage and didn't say much to Feng Yaoyu.

Feng Yaoyu stood there, looking ashamed and angry, but she didn't dare to say anything.

At this time, everyone was ready. Seeing that Her Royal Highness had already boarded the carriage, Jiuyi jumped on the horse and said, "Let's go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the guards and personal soldiers escorted the princess's carriage out of the princess's mansion and headed out of the imperial city.

Feng Yaoyu also hurriedly got on the carriage and followed behind the princess's carriage.

Xiao Siying had been waiting at the gate of the imperial city with his army early in the morning. When he saw Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess and her troops leaving the city, he hurriedly followed them, riding his horse and walking in front of the team.
