Reborn as the Regent's Beloved

Shen's complexion was far from good, and when Bi Shu looked at Xiao Fengyi, her expression also became very unfriendly.

Xiao Fengyi raised an eyebrow, inwardly grumbling, "So Shen and her maid didn't want me to see Feng Mingjing either. Then why did they swallow their anger and pretend to send a maid to Qingya Courtyard to invite me? Are they really afraid that Feng Mingjing will be unhappy and won't marry Xiao Qingyin, so they're making demands of him like this?"

Her little scheme was unknown to anyone, and she would never let anyone know. Standing outside the hall, she quietly thought of herself as a little white rabbit.

Although Madam Shen was unhappy that Feng Xingye was seeing her, she still smiled and waved to her, "Fengyi, it's windy outside, come in quickly."

If it weren't for Shen's reminder, Xiao Fengyi really wouldn't have noticed the wind direction. Strands of hair that had fallen from her frilly bun were blown up by the wind, and her green horse-face skirt was lifted by the wind, making her look like a beautiful fairy.

Xiao Fengyi smiled at Madam Shen, her steps graceful and elegant. After crossing the threshold of the hall, she entered the room and bowed to the two of them.

"Seventh Prince, Aunt, may I ask why you have summoned me to the hall?"

Feng Mingjing and Madam Shen did not answer her question, but instead exchanged glances, as if they had something difficult to say.

Xiao Fengyi really disliked beating around the bush, and she was also very impressed with herself for being able to act cleverly and evasively in front of these two enemies.

Madam Shen spoke first, making arrangements: "Fengyi, please sit down first." She designated a seat for Xiao Fengyi, specifying that she must sit in the corner of her room.

Xiao Fengyi observed that this position was lower than where Feng Mingjing and Shen Shi were sitting, giving her a more oppressive perspective and allowing her to better receive their questions.

She instantly understood everything. These two people must have something they wanted her to agree to, but they were afraid she wouldn't agree, so they came up with this method of coercion and enticement.

Regardless, Xiao Fengyi still sat in the place arranged by Madam Shen.

After she sat down, Xuanhua and Zihua stood behind their young mistress, and the two maids were also on high alert, afraid that these two bullies would harass their young mistress.

"Bishu, bring tea." Madam Shen had the maid serve her tea, and then had the maid serve tea to His Highness; in short, she was unusually attentive.

Bi Shu placed the teacup on the table next to Xiao Fengyi.

Xuanhua and Zihua leaned forward, trembling as they looked at their young mistress, fearing that terrible poison had been put in the tea and snacks, and that their mistress would drink the tea.

Their young lady had learned her lesson time and again and was no longer the naive girl who was easily fooled. She would not drink the tea, nor would she allow herself to fall into the enemy's trap.

Xiao Fengyi didn't know what the two were planning to do, but they didn't eat the tea and snacks beside them. This cautious behavior prompted Feng Mingjing, who had been silent until now, to speak up.

"Miss Xiao, won't you have some of these tea snacks?"

When Feng Mingjing spoke, a sinister expression appeared on his originally handsome face, ruining his appearance and making people feel distrustful.

Why is he so concerned about the tea and snacks? Did these two really poison the tea and snacks, trying to repeat the same mistake?

That time at Baoguo Temple, this person drugged her. If Feng Xingye hadn't arrived in time, she really couldn't imagine what the consequences would have been.

Xiao Fengyi didn't expose her true feelings, but instead said evasively, "Your Highness, I ate too much at noon, so I'm not very hungry."

The man then advised, "Then you can drink some tea. This tea is Green Cloud from Cangcheng, a top-grade green tea. It will be good for your health."

How can we play like this? Are they forcing her to drink tea?

The girl's smile instantly turned ugly, and she dropped the pretense, saying, "Seventh Prince, I don't want tea."

She didn't give a reason, only saying that she didn't want to drink tea anymore.

Madam Shen chimed in from the side, "Fengyi, how can you speak to the Seventh Prince like that? It's so disrespectful!"

Xiao Fengyi adopted a haughty and arrogant attitude, "Aunt, you may have forgotten that Fengyi is only engaged to Ninth Prince. After marrying into the royal family, she will be Ninth Prince's aunt. Who is being disrespectful here?"

"This……"

Shen had forgotten about this matter and did not expect Xiao Fengyi to bring up Prince Zhao, so she was at a loss for words.

Upon hearing Xiao Fengyi's words, the man's face showed displeasure. He was about to teach her a lesson, but he didn't know where to begin. He gritted his teeth, hesitated, and looked extremely distressed.

Xiao Fengyi was secretly pleased to see the Seventh Prince and Madam Shen looking so embarrassed, but she didn't show it on her face. However, the two maids behind her couldn't hold back their laughter and almost burst out laughing.

"Zihua, Xuanhua, what are you laughing at?" Seeing that she couldn't punish Xiao Fengyi, Madam Shen decided to take it out on the two silly-laughing maids.

Feng Mingjing looked at the guards behind him, seemingly about to reprimand the two maids as well.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Xiao Fengyi stood up abruptly before the man could speak in order to protect her people. "Seventh Prince, we will be aunt and niece from now on. It is not appropriate for us to meet in private. I will leave with my maid first. Xuanhua, Zihua, let's go."

She really didn't want to stay there a moment longer, so after saying what she had to say, she left without looking back, with Xuan Hua and Zi Hua following behind her.

Xiao Fengyi wanted to leave, but how could Feng Mingjing let her go?

"Xiao Fengyi, stop right there!" the man called out from behind her, and he stood up as well.

Seeing the Seventh Prince rise, Lady Shen, who was sitting at the lower end of the table, also stood up. Her mood was different from Feng Mingjing's; Feng Mingjing was somewhat angry, while she was somewhat happy.

Xiao Fengyi is doing something that is angering the Seventh Prince, and making enemies with him will not do her any good.

Oh, Xiao Fengyi doesn't care. After all, she's the Princess Consort of Zhao.

Sure enough, even the Seventh Prince's shouts couldn't stop Xiao Fengyi's steps; she walked towards the garden in the hall.

Immediately afterwards, Shen saw the Seventh Prince rush to the front like a gust of wind, using his folding fan to block Xiao Fengyi's steps.

With a long arm blocking her way, Xiao Fengyi raised her eyebrows and looked at the other person, questioning, "Seventh Prince, I have repeatedly tolerated you, why won't you let me go? What exactly do you want?"

Feng Mingjing smiled and put away his folding fan, then told her his thoughts, "Xiao Fengyi, what I want to tell you is that I want to cooperate with you."

"Cooperation?" Xiao Fengyi's brows furrowed, and she looked at Feng Mingjing with a puzzled expression.

She had no idea that the two of them had any area of ​​cooperation.

This man's greatest skill is deception; until the very last step, no one knows what kind of schemes or tricks he has up his sleeve.

Feng Mingjing walked to Xiao Fengyi's side, still tapping his fan idly in his hand. "I want you to join forces with me to deal with Feng Xingye."

"Are you crazy to go after Feng Xingye? He's my fiancé, how could I possibly go after him?"
