An opponent has arrived, and not just any ordinary one. She said, "Your Majesty, do you know her?"

Feng Ji was already putting on an act in front of Wang Mu, and now that he heard the princess's question, he was even less likely to leave. Instead, he felt that he should stay here to prove his relationship with the emperor.

She said, half coquettishly and half angrily, "Hmph, I haven't seen you for months, and I didn't expect you to be getting along so well with Princess Li Yili."

Wang Muxin smiled, knowing that the Phoenix Princess was jealous. Seeing the princess's jealous expression, he knew things were going to get complicated. Women getting jealous could cause a lot of trouble. Now, holding Feng Ji's hand, Li Yili's eyes never left her.

He released the Phoenix Princess's small hand and then smiled, "Come, come, let me introduce you."

"We just met." Feng Ji's face brightened, and she smiled.

Seeing Feng Ji's quick change of heart, the princess also quickly put on a smiling face, "Yes, we introduced ourselves to each other when you weren't here."

Wang Mu thought it was perfect and said, "That's perfect, perfect. I won't introduce you. By the way, Feng Ji, didn't you go back?"

Feng Ji's eyes welled up with tears again as she recalled how she had secretly run away the night the sacrificial ceremony ended.

Having been separated from the Emperor for less than two months, the longing he felt was overwhelming, and a day apart felt like three autumns. Without even packing, he set off and traveled to the Eastern Continent via a teleportation array.

Fortunately, he had left about a hundred guards with him at the teleportation array to accompany him day and night. After heading south, he would pass through another teleportation array and travel day and night again.

Upon arriving at the academy, he went straight to find someone without even taking a sip of water. He went directly to the room, thinking that he wouldn't be angry even if the emperor wasn't there.

Because on the way there, they received a secret report that the emperor had encountered a young girl on the road, and later learned that the emperor had gone after her.

At first, she was angry, but not long after, she learned that the emperor had returned to the academy, so she rushed over, only to encounter Princess Li Yili in her room.

As I entered, the princess was cleaning the room. It seemed she often came here, as few people came to this place; previously, there was only one person named Viva.

At that time, the princess was only an acquaintance of the emperor, but now, looking into the princess's eyes, the deep affection was no less than his own.

Thinking of this, she felt so wronged that tears welled up in her eyes.

"Fengji, what's wrong? Did you encounter any grievances outside? Who bullied you? I'll help you get revenge."

Wang Mu half-jokingly wondered if the two women had fought and the Phoenix Princess had lost to the County Princess by a move or two.

Feng Ji couldn't help but chuckle, "If anyone has ever bullied me, it's only you."

Wang Mu felt a little embarrassed. Such public displays of affection were awkward in front of a third person, and besides, he wasn't stupid enough to understand the princess's feelings.

He gave an awkward smile, then looked at Li Yili, who was standing to the side looking unhappy, probably angry as well.

"Haha, just kidding, just kidding." At this moment, Wang Mu was in a dilemma, neither standing nor walking.

The room was only so big, and since he was the host and knew the two women's feelings, he had no choice but to say, "Everyone, please don't stand. Why don't you sit down for a while? I'll go make a pot of tea. Oh, right, it's been a long time since I've made tea."

After the man finished speaking, he turned and left. Feng Ji knew the emperor was embarrassed, so he couldn't help but laugh.

She turned around and saw Li Yili there, so she stopped smiling and called out as she chased after her, "Your Majesty, do you need my help?"

Seeing Feng Ji follow, Li Yili was worried and quickly followed.

Upon arriving in the kitchen, Wang Mu was starting a fire to boil water. At first, the two women argued over how easy it was to get the firewood burning.

He looked helpless and said, "Alright, you can all stay here, or the water won't boil by tonight."

The two women were obedient and did not fight again, but they each stood guard to one side and refused to leave.

Not long after Wang Mu lit the fire, he washed the pots again, and the two women tried to grab them. He was really annoyed. "Fine, you can just watch from the side."

The two women took a few steps back at the same time, glanced at each other, and then straightened up so they wouldn't look at each other, naturally neither willing to concede to the other.

The water in the pot was boiling. Wang Mu went to look at the two women and couldn't help but chuckle, but then he couldn't bring himself to laugh.

"Your Majesty, how have you been lately?" After a while, Feng Ji asked, but felt it was a bit unnecessary. If he wasn't doing well, how could he have beautiful women by his side?

"It's alright. By the way, what brings you here? You must have had a long and tiring journey." Wang Mu asked somewhat awkwardly.

Feng Ji lowered her head and said, "No, it's nothing, it's not hard work."

Seeing this, Wang Mu noticed that the Phoenix Princess looked somewhat haggard and seemed to have lost some weight as soon as she entered the room, but he was too embarrassed to ask her any further questions because the princess was present.

He found the tea leaves, opened them, and a faint fragrance wafted out; there was no tea left in this world.

He discovered the yellowish-black tea leaves when he went out. He picked some tender leaves and brought back a few plants to plant behind the yard. He was reluctant to part with these few leaves, as the new tea leaves wouldn't be available for another two months.

"Your Majesty, what is this?" Feng Ji stepped forward and asked, naturally not recognizing what these slightly dark leaves were.

Although Li Yili didn't ask, her eyes held a questioning look.

Seeing that he had successfully attracted the two women, Wang Mu felt quite relieved. He knew perfectly well that the two women were interested in him, but he was about to leave, and he was also suffering from the poison of Hua Ling.

He admitted that he was not a good person, much less a paragon of virtue. Surrounded by beautiful women, what man wouldn't want that, especially since they were all extremely beautiful women?

He was unpretentious, so his relationships with the women were all natural. If things really developed to the point where they couldn't leave each other, he would take them back to the Emperor's world.

He just didn't know if it was possible; of course, the idea of ​​traveling through time again was still too far off.

However, Li Xue eventually took the initiative to visit him. For a princess of an empire, this would surely be a laughing stock if word got out. A princess taking the initiative to visit a man would probably cause a huge uproar, but she really couldn't control herself.

She thought to herself that the Emperor had been back at the academy for many days, and the two of them usually only met briefly and in a hurry. She could feel that their relationship had deteriorated significantly, perhaps because the Emperor was still preoccupied with Zhong Wanling's matter.

Wan'er knew which building Wang Mu lived in, and Li Xue silently followed behind her.

When they got downstairs, the princess didn't dare go up. It wasn't that she was afraid of being laughed at, but she had her concerns. She was afraid that the emperor would kick her out or shut her out, which she really couldn't bear.

"Your Highness," Wan'er called softly. The maid who had been with her since childhood naturally understood the princess's inner turmoil, contradictions, hesitation, and anxiety.

Lixue didn't say anything. She took two steps forward, stopped, thought for a moment, and then turned back. After taking a few steps back, she turned back again.
