Empress, please have some self-respect. I am not your husband.

Lu Feng rolled his eyes: "Come on, by the time Chunyutang finds out, it'll be too late. Just say I've found the person and the jade pendant."

Lin Kuohai was taken aback, then nodded slightly and congratulated him, saying, "Congratulations, my lord, on fulfilling your long-cherished wish."

Lu Feng stood up: "That's right. I've found my savior and fulfilled a long-cherished wish. Give the order to take good care of the Qin family in the capital. I remember the Qin family has a caravan. Keep a close eye on their movements and resolve any trouble they encounter as soon as possible."

"I obey my orders."

"That's all for now, I'm leaving."

"Respectfully seeing off our lord."

Lin Kuohai finally breathed a sigh of relief after escorting Lu Feng to the door, then belatedly realized his doubts.

Why does my lord show favor to the Qin family? Could it be that the Qin family are my lord's benefactors?

This is not right either.

There is no woman in the Qin family named Long Xuan.

The current emperor of the Qian Kingdom is named Ye Longxuan, but he is a man.

……

After leaving the Lantern Festival, Lu Feng returned to his official residence, where he saw Xiao Miao writing something on a piece of paper with a brush.

Where is your fairy sister?

Lu Feng glanced at it curiously, then clicked his tongue; the writing was truly appalling.

"Ah, young master, you're back?"

Xiao Miao was startled. "The fairy sister went to take a nap."

Seeing Lu Feng looking at the few earthworms she had written, Xiao Miao's face immediately turned red. She knew that her handwriting was not very good, especially compared to Yu Ningyan's, it was worlds apart.

At this moment, feeling that he was wasting Lu Feng's ink and brush, he quickly put down the brush in his hand.

Seeing the little girl's flushed face and the fear in her eyes, Lu Feng understood what she was thinking and smiled, "It's alright. If you like reading and writing, then practice. With more practice, you'll be able to write well in the future."

Xiao Miao looked up in surprise, then asked excitedly, "Young...Young Master, can I really do it?"

"Of course, we don't lack money for ink and paper."

Seeing the little girl's excited expression, he couldn't help but smile and patted her head.

Just then, someone pushed open the door to the next room, and Yu Ningyan came out. She greeted Lu Feng, "You're back. Hurry up and cook, I'm starving."

Lu Feng chuckled: "You're treating me like a free cook, aren't you?"

"What else? I'm now appointing you as my personal bodyguard and imperial chef. How does that make you feel better?" Yu Ningyan said with a smile.

"Fuck off!"

For the next few days, Lu Feng stayed at home to cultivate, since he didn't have to go to court anyway.

Not to mention, there was such a beautiful woman as Yu Ningyan to please his eyes, making him feel very comfortable.

Perhaps she was getting a little bored, because Yu Ningyan couldn't hold back any longer today.

After Xiao Miao finished cleaning up the dishes, she looked at Lu Feng across from her and smiled slightly: "Lu Feng."

"Spit it out if you have something to say." Lu Feng glanced at him sideways.

Judging from the other person's appearance, it's no good news.

Yu Ningyan pouted, but didn't take it to heart. After spending several days together, she had gotten used to Lu Feng's way of speaking. She then asked with some anticipation, "Can you take me out for a walk?"

"Are you out of your mind?" Lu Feng raised an eyebrow.

Yu Ningyan exclaimed, "Isn't it because you're here? I've been staying at your residence all this time, I'm practically moldy! I heard there's a Hanshan Temple in the inner city, how about you take me to see it?"

"Visit temples? What's so interesting about visiting temples?" Lu Feng frowned. He'd rather spend that time cultivating.

Yu Ningyan said with great interest, "Of course! You can burn incense and make wishes. I've heard that Hanshan Temple is very efficacious. Will you take me there once?"

Seeing the expectation in Yu Ningyan's eyes, Lu Feng hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, if you want to go, then go."

The princess was secretly delighted and, after saying she was going to change her clothes, immediately ran back to her room.

She quickly changed into the blue and white long dress that Chen Qing had bought for her and put on a veil.

Looking at that exquisite and slender figure, Lu Feng couldn't help but nod to himself. Just that figure alone could be mesmerizing even with her face covered.

"How is it? Does it look good?" Noticing Lu Feng's gaze, Yu Ningyan asked smugly.

Lu Feng said, though he didn't mean it, "It's just so-so."

Not receiving the praise she wanted, Yu Ningyan snorted coldly, not caring about it, and called Xiao Miao and the other two to prepare to go out.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I opened the door, someone came to deliver an invitation.

Seeing that the other person looked somewhat familiar, Lu Feng thought for a moment and asked, "Are you the steward of the Qin family?"

The other party quickly smiled and said respectfully, "Lord Lu, you still remember me? I am here on my young lady's orders to deliver the invitation to you, young master."

"What kind of invitation?" Yu Ningyan asked curiously.

The steward of the Qin family hurriedly said, "It is like this, my young lady and a group of famous scholars from the capital are holding a literary gathering at Wenxuan Pavilion today, and have specially invited Young Master Lu to participate. The gathering will be held in one hour."

“A literary gathering? That’s interesting. Lu Feng, why don’t we attend this literary gathering today and go to Hanshan Temple tomorrow?” Yu Ningyan suddenly became interested.

The poem Lu Feng wrote last time, "Colorful sleeves eagerly holding a jade cup," has remained unforgettable for her.

If we go to the literary gathering, we might be able to see Lu Feng write other poems.

Seeing the steward of the Qin family bring the invitation over, Lu Feng chuckled and said calmly, "I'm not familiar with your young lady, so I won't go."

The steward of the Qin family was instantly dumbfounded. Before he could react, Lu Feng had already locked the door and said to Yu Ningyan and Xiao Miao, "Let's go."

"Hey, it's not Lu Feng."

Just as Yu Ningyan was about to say something, Lu Feng said calmly, "Do you still want to go to Hanshan Temple?"

Seeing the indifference in Lu Feng's eyes, Yu Ningyan nodded softly: "Of course I went."

The three ignored the steward of the Qin family and walked away.

The latter was dumbfounded and hurriedly chased after him, saying, "No, Lord Lu, please wait!"

"Is there anything else?" Lu Feng asked, stopping in his tracks.

The steward hurriedly said, "Lord Lu, my young lady sincerely invited you. If you don't go, I won't be able to explain myself."

"It's okay, just do as I say."

Lu Feng rolled his eyes and continued walking. Yu Ningyan was full of curiosity. What was wrong with this guy?

Why do you suddenly seem angry?

Watching Lu Feng and his group walk away, the steward of the Qin family felt like crying.

He could only rush to Wenxuan Hall to report.

Wenxuan Pavilion is an elegantly decorated teahouse, a favorite gathering place for scholars and literati in the capital of Qian Kingdom.

Today, many renowned talents from the capital of the Qian Kingdom have gathered here, all summoned by Xu Zilong.

After hearing that they would be able to exchange literary ideas with Lu Feng, who had recently defeated the world's number one scholar, these talented scholars were very excited and arrived at the guild hall early.

Qin Xinyi, Chu Hongyan, Xu Zilong, and others were sitting together at this moment.

Seeing her steward approach with a long face, Qin Xinyi frowned and asked, "Why do you look like this? Has the invitation been delivered?"
