Every time Wu Jianfeng saw someone mocking him, his face would turn ugly, and this time was no exception. However, when he thought about being able to teach that kid a lesson, he could only endure the mockery.
"I know the Fourteenth Princess looks down on me, but Fourteenth Princess... do you really want to lose this opportunity and marry into the Huiying Kingdom? This servant has a plan, I wonder if the princess would like to hear it?"
Everyone in the palace knows what kind of person Wu Jianfeng is.
An Yunyi hesitated for a moment.
Seeing that the other party still did not believe him, Wu Jianfeng chuckled, "Fourteenth Princess, listen to my plan. You will not suffer any loss. As for whether you are willing to cooperate with me, we can discuss it in detail later."
His words hit An Yunyi's mark. Unable to resist the temptation, An Yunyi nodded and said, "Then tell me, I'm listening."
Without any regard for master and servant, Wu Jianfeng pulled out a chair and sat down opposite An Yunyi.
For a moment, An Yunyi's face turned ugly, but she gritted her teeth and endured it.
After all, if he really has a good plan, it's not advisable to break ties with him now.
Recently, Wu Jianfeng had a major falling out with the Wu family. Apart from the small monthly allowance he received from the palace, he had no extra money to squander.
Seeing the pot of tea that had been brewed on the table, he reached out and poured himself a cup.
There was a time when he also drank fine tea and enjoyed delicious food every day...
However, all of this changed overnight not long ago.
"Has the Fourteenth Princess met with Prince Duan? Prince Duan says he has long been in love with you. How credible do you think this is?"
An Yunyi, being a sensible person, snorted coldly, "Not a single cent."
Prince Duan probably has his eye on her; she's currently the most favored princess, which is why he said those words.
The claim of long-standing affection is nothing but a lie.
"That's right." Wu Jianfeng took a sip of tea.
An Yunyi didn't understand the meaning of those words. "What did you say?"
"Princess, haven't you understood yet? Since Prince Duan has no interest in you, then we have a chance to make him choose someone else. This is our last chance." Wu Jianfeng put down his teacup, a sinister smile playing on his lips, as if he already had someone in mind.
"Continue," An Yunyi urged him, seemingly finding the story interesting.
“All coincidences can be created by human intervention. Princess, is that right?” Wu Jianfeng laughed heartily.
An Yunyi pondered these words for a while, then said, "You mean, you want Prince Duan to fall in love with another princess, so that the one who marries will not be me?"
An Yunyi's eyes flashed with a sharp light. Even though she didn't agree immediately, Wu Jianfeng knew that she had already believed what he said.
It seems that the Fourteenth Princess is truly determined not to marry into another country.
"The one who gets married isn't necessarily a princess. Who does the Fourteenth Princess hate the most right now? Haha, believe me, now you know who I'm talking about." Wu Jianfeng didn't reveal the identity of the candidate, but simply threw the question to An Yunyi.
An Yunyi wasn't stupid; upon hearing this, she understood why Wu Jianfeng had given her advice.
"So you had your own agenda too." If there was anyone who was her greatest enemy right now, it would be Xi Xizhi.
An Yunyi thought to herself, her eyes fixed on Wu Jianfeng. No wonder this man wanted to help her; he actually wanted her to get rid of his thorn in his side.
However, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
"I understand, and I am willing to cooperate. You work in the Panlong Palace, so you should be quite clear about her movements." After talking for so long, An Yunyi was a little thirsty and poured herself a cup of tea.
Afterwards, the two sat down and talked about many things in detail.
Panlong Hall.
Xi Xizhi grabbed the scroll on the table, glanced at An Honghan who was taking a nap next to her, and quickly opened it to take a look.
Why was Xi Xizhi curious and wanted to see the painting?
It wasn't because something attracted her.
I heard that this painting depicts a portrait of Prince Duan.
Recently, Xi Xizhi had heard a lot of rumors about Prince Duan, such as his handsome appearance, dashing demeanor, and ability to charm countless young girls. These rumors had been circulating in her ears repeatedly, making her increasingly curious.
Dongfang Youyu's appearance definitely qualifies him as a handsome man.
Xi Xizhi couldn't help but compare him to the Prince Duan, whom she had never met. They were both princes, and their status and position were not much different.
Furthermore, if there are no changes in the situation in the Lvyun Kingdom, the next emperor will definitely be Dongfang Youyu.
Every time she thought about this, Xi Xizhi pondered her attitude, wondering if she should treat him better.
It's always better to have one more friend than one more enemy, especially since that enemy might become the next emperor.
The scroll slowly unfurled, revealing a meticulously painted image before Xi Xizhi's eyes.
The person in the painting has a delicate face. Why do I say delicate?
Xi Xizhi didn't understand why this word suddenly popped into her mind. The person in the painting truly resembled a perfect piece of porcelain, without the slightest flaw.
His handsomeness was different from that of An Honghan and Dongfang Youyu.
Rather, it possesses a neutral beauty; if Xi Xizhi hadn't known the gender of the person in the painting, she might have mistaken him for a woman.
But compared to a woman, he possessed an added air of heroism in his eyes.
Upon closer inspection, Xi Xizhi frowned, realizing that the smirk on his lips carried a hint of wickedness.
How can a painting evoke such a feeling?
Xi Xizhi felt that she was mentally deranged to have such an absurd illusion, so she shook her head to clear her mind.
An Honghan, who had been taking a nap with his eyes closed, slowly opened them and saw the child shaking his head. He asked, "What do you think of this person? Is he exceptionally handsome?"
Xi Xizhi blinked, wondering why An Honghan asked this.
Compared to androgynous men, Xi Xizhi personally believes that men with a domineering and imposing presence are more attractive...
Just like the person in front of you.
"Hmm, it's...it's alright." Xi Xizhi awkwardly put down the painting and tossed it aside.
"Not bad? What do you mean? Isn't the Third Prince Duan handsome enough?" An Honghan's face was expressionless, but his tone was teasing.
Under An Honghan's persistent questioning, Xi Xizhi showed some embarrassment, thinking to herself, "Why are you harping on this question!"
The face belongs to Duan Yufei, what business is it of theirs! No matter how handsome the face is, it can't be transferred to oneself.
"Very handsome!" Xi Xizhi forced a smile, thinking to herself, surely this answer couldn't be wrong!
