Cold-faced Empress

Rong Chen was even more confused: "I don't know, I only heard you and Prince Mu talking about whether you could handle it or not."

Unable to understand what Mo Canglan meant, Fu Siying said helplessly, "Whether the two of us can handle it or not is irrelevant. The key is that you must be able to handle it! Rong Chen, remember to practice diligently and learn all the skills he can teach you, otherwise you will be letting down Bai Qingyu, who was stood up by you."

"Ok, I know!"

Because Mo Canglan snatched her away halfway through, Fu Siying went to apologize to Bai Qingyu again.

Upon learning that Fu Rongchen had become Prince Mu's disciple, Bai Qingyu frowned slightly, looking at Fu Siying with a complicated expression: "In this way, your Fu family and Prince Mu's mansion are even more closely connected. Can your engagement with Prince Mu still be dissolved?"

Fu Siying tightened her grip, avoiding Bai Qingyu's gaze: "Let's leave the engagement... for now."

After saying that, he left in a hurry, his fingers and heart trembling slightly.

She was afraid. She was afraid of seeing the myriad colors and meanings in Bai Qingyu's eyes, afraid of what he might say, and even more afraid that he would affect her thoughts.

It shouldn't be like this.

His meaningful words were merely a misunderstanding caused by his being misled by appearances. Once he sees her true colors, he will realize how foolish he has been.

Fu Siying wanted to break off her engagement with Mo Canglan so that she could free herself up to enter the palace in place of Yunzhi. However, not only had the Emperor already indicated that he would only summon Yunzhi, but Mo Canglan had also seen through her intentions and would not give her another chance to break off the engagement.

She really could only leave this engagement... at that for now.

The news that Prince Mu prevented the young master of the Fu family from becoming a disciple of Young Master Zhiyu became a new hot topic in the capital.

Too many people witnessed Prince Mu personally appearing and angrily taking Young Master Fu away before he could perform the apprenticeship ceremony. This incident became yet another strong piece of evidence that Prince Mu had abandoned the Fu family.

The Fu family's fall from favor is imminent.

……

This year's autumn hunt was exceptionally grand, with preparations taking a long time. Because the emperor had specially ordered low-ranking officials and officials from humble backgrounds to participate, the number of people attending the hunt was so large that it was like a sea of ​​people, everyone wanting to show off in front of the emperor.

Perhaps it was because of the recent training at Prince Mu's residence, but Fu Siying thought Rong Chen's horseback riding posture was much better.

Noticing his elder and second elder sisters spying on him, Fu Rongchen rode his horse around his carriage with a smug look on his face.

"Elder sister, don't worry, I will definitely shoot a bunch of prey and leave everyone speechless!"

Fu Siying disagreed: "You should take it easy. This is your first time at the autumn hunt, you're not familiar with anything, and there are so many people this year, be careful about your safety."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!" Fu Rongchen assured him casually.

Seeing her younger brother acting like a wild horse at such a grand event, Fu Siying didn't believe Rong Chen's assurances at all. She knew she had better keep an eye on Rong Chen to avoid any trouble.

The autumn hunt took place in a large hunting ground that enclosed an entire mountain. Naturally, not everyone could hunt with the Emperor; most people entertained themselves.

Since we'll be staying here for three days, the campsite at the foot of the mountain is packed with tents, one after another.

This was the first time Fu Siying's family had seen their own relatives since returning to the capital from Pingcheng.

Only Fu Shi, his wife, and children came from the main family. Fu Shi thought that calling him "elder brother" was indifferent enough, but Fu Zai didn't even respond, only glancing at him lightly, as if he were looking at a cat or dog on the street.

Seeing the surprise on her second uncle's family's faces, Fu Siying quickened her pace, caught up with her father, and whispered with a smile, "So Dad can be this tough too."

"What are you saying!" Prime Minister Fu feigned displeasure. "Your father is just good-tempered, but that doesn't mean he has no temper."

“Yes, yes, yes,” Fu Siying laughed, “I hope Dad can be this tough every day.”

Soon, the opportunity to test Prime Minister Fu arrived, and it was completely unexpected for Fu Siying and her parents.

Just as Madam Li and her servants had finished setting up their tents, they saw Madam Zhang, the second wife of Fu, arrive uninvited.

Apart from a maid, there was no one else by Zhang's side.

"Brother and sister-in-law, you've tidied this place up so neatly. It seems you're not worried at all."

Li frowned: "Why are we panicking?"
