Today is His Majesty's 40th birthday in the Xia Dynasty. A palace banquet will be held tonight, and envoys have come in an endless stream to offer their congratulations. The usually quiet palace is now much more lively.

Feng Guang carried a plate of dried plums in her hand, munching on a plum as she walked along the path in the Imperial Garden. Passing through the Imperial Garden was the Crown Prince's East Palace. In recent days, it seemed that her father had completely abandoned state affairs, leaving everything to Xia Fengxue to handle. He himself would "accidentally" pass by Fengyi Palace every day, stop by for a while, have some tea, and then leave. The Empress would never allow him to stay overnight.

Feng Guang didn't understand the lives of middle-aged people. She simply thought that her parents were just bored. Neither of them dared to break the ice. Xia Chao believed that he had caused Wang Ci to lose his freedom, while Wang Ci believed that Xia Chao was a heartless emperor. This stalemate lasted for more than ten years.

This is a matter for their elders, and Fengguang shouldn't interfere. It's just that she's suffering, as she has less and less time to see her beloved. That's why she's going to the East Palace to find him.

But halfway there, she spotted a family of three in the distance. Feng Guang's face darkened, and she turned to take a detour, but the sharp-eyed child spotted her.

"Pretty big sister!" The five-year-old child let go of his mother's hand and ran to Fengguang. He smiled innocently and said, "Big sister, I want to eat your snacks too."

Now she's in trouble; she can't run away in time.

Feng Guang snapped out of her daze, forced a smile, looked at the boy with red lips and white teeth in front of her, and said, "These are my dried plums, why should I give them to you?"

"Hey~ Big sister, don't be so stingy..." The handsome boy grabbed her hand and started to act cute, which was really irresistible.

But Feng Guang was no ordinary person. Not only could she resist, but she also knew that this brat was deliberately trying to cause trouble. For example, the child had something on his hands, and when he touched her sleeve, her exquisite and expensive dress was covered with a thick layer of dust.

Indeed, Fengliu is the female lead's child after all. Although he is only five years old, his intelligence is extraordinary. When he saw a young and beautiful noblewoman in the palace with many maids following her, he could guess Fengliu's identity at a glance. Fengliu also believed that the so-called Princess Changning was a wicked woman who coveted his father and wanted to squeeze out his mother.

This little brat is really not cute.

Feng Guang never liked being wronged, not even when facing a child. Besides, this child wasn't even her own. She simply placed the plate of dried plums on Feng Liu's head and laughed generously, "I'm not stingy, please have some."

Crumbs of dried plums fell from Fengliu's head, across his handsome face, and onto his clothes, making him look rather disheveled and far from the dashing young man he once was.

Meng Xi and Feng Miyin, who had just arrived, both paused upon seeing this scene. They knew Feng Liu's personality well, and when they saw him approach Feng Guang, they knew he was looking for trouble. Feng Liu was young, but full of tricks. Apart from being thrown into Wutong Alley, he had never suffered a loss. However, Feng Guang was not someone he could easily offend. They had expected to see Feng Guang's angry face before they came over to say something about Feng Liu being young and not taking offense at the princess's actions. But to their surprise, the princess had already taught him a lesson.
