Resisting the Wind and Splendor

"You still know that only she is qualified to be your empress!" Consort Rui glared at her son.

Lu Fengjin immediately replied, "Your subject understands perfectly well."

Ultimately, someone of Tuoba Feiyuan's background was hardly suitable for high society.

Not only would her father not agree to let her become the Princess Consort of Jin, but in the future, even the people of the world would not allow her to become the mother of the nation.

The person who can truly assist him is Chu Yueli.

But he adored Yuan'er; he loved her little temper!

The six palaces can be entrusted to Ali, but Yuan'er will definitely be his most beloved concubine.

Consort Rui gave a cold snort.

However, what the son said wasn't wrong.

She's just a woman; you can pamper her, but you can't spoil her.

Chu Yueli's capricious and willful behavior is simply because she has some merit.

She wants to give her son a hard time for a little bit of credit. Who gave her that right?

"Giving her a little punishment is a good way to prevent her from taking herself too seriously in the future. However, don't really make things awkward; marrying her will ultimately be beneficial for you."

"Your subject understands." Lu Fengjin nodded.

Consort Rui still felt uneasy: "But she brought this on herself, so you are not allowed to go to your father and beg for reconciliation, for fear that your father will look down on you."

Consort Rui thought for a moment before saying, "How about this, let her go and beg the Emperor to rescind his decree and proceed with the wedding as planned. The Emperor will definitely be angry then, but that's because she acted willfully. Let her go by herself, and don't interfere. Your father won't be angry with you; he'll think you're magnanimous and don't stoop to the level of a young woman."

Lu Fengjin hurriedly replied, "That's exactly what I think too!"

After thinking about it, Consort Rui's anger subsided somewhat.

I glanced at the door again, and still felt a sense of disgust.

"A country bumpkin like her isn't even worthy to carry Chu Yueli's shoes. I really don't know what you see in her!"

This question had lingered in Lu Fengjin's mind several times after he carried the unconscious Tuoba Feiyuan back home.

Tuoba Feiyuan had been beaten up, and his skin, which was not smooth to begin with and could even be described as rough, now looked even more savage and unsightly, stained with blood.

He suddenly remembered Chu Yueli's hand.

Ah Li's hands were the most perfect hands he had ever seen in the world.

Her ten fingers were slender and long, with a porcelain-white, smooth texture like fine jade.

When her hands landed on the strings, even before she began to play, you could almost hear the most beautiful melody in the world.

Now, seeing Tuoba Feiyuan's cleaned back, Lu Fengjin fell into deep thought for a long time.

When Tuoba Feiyuan woke up and saw him staring blankly at her disheveled body, she blushed with embarrassment and felt wronged: "Look at the mess you've made!"

Lu Fengjin suddenly woke up and saw her face, which was red from crying. For some reason, he remembered the scene of Ali silently shedding tears as she looked at her brothers who died on the battlefield.

At that moment, a breeze blew by, lifting a strand of hair that had accidentally fallen behind her ear.

Clear, glistening tears drifted away with the wind, a poignant scene etched deeply into one's memory.

Lu Fengjin shook his head, his thoughts finally returning to reality.

He looked at Tuoba Feiyuan and said helplessly, "From now on, don't try to be tough in front of your mother! If she really wants to punish you, I can't protect you, understand?"

Tuoba Feiyuan truly understood this time!

She could also tell that Lu Fengjin didn't not want to protect her; he simply didn't have the ability to do so!

"Are you really that afraid of your mother?" She still felt very wronged. "I thought you were a great and all-powerful man, that's why I liked you so much!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Fengjin's heart softened, and he quickly comforted her, "She is my mother. No matter how much I love you, I cannot openly disobey her. Yuan'er, I know you don't like the royal rules, but..."

"Since you know I don't like it, why do you still expect me to follow the rules?"

Lu Fengjin's momentum faltered, and Tuoba Feiyuan seized the opportunity to lash out: "Didn't you say you liked my genuine nature? Do you want me to become a hypocritical woman like Chu Yueli?"

Lu Fengjin remained silent.

He certainly didn't want that, but it felt a bit off coming from Tuoba Feiyuan himself.

It just feels awkward.

"Alright, you've suffered enough, so get some rest. I won't bother you anymore." He got up to leave.

Tuoba Feiyuan, however, saw his lack of interest in her eyes, and she became even angrier: "Lu Fengjin, what do you mean? Don't you like me anymore? If you don't like me, why did you bring me back to the capital?"

"Of course I like it..."

"So what kind of attitude is this now?"

Lu Fengjin looked at her, somewhat helpless and annoyed: "Then what do you want me to say? Do you want me to tell you that you can still act willfully and recklessly and offend my mother at will?"

He wanted to reason with her, but Tuoba Feiyuan's temper was too much, and Lu Fengjin's anger was ignited!

"Yuan'er, some things are best left unsaid; once they're done, they become tiresome!"
