At this moment, inside the private room of Mingyue Tower, Feng Qinghuang was trying hard to stuff something into her mouth.
Rong Qi, standing beside her, moved with elegance and refinement, a style completely different from Feng Qinghuang's.
However, Rong Qi smiled, watching the little girl wolfing down her food with doting eyes, showing no sign of disdain. He just loved Jiao Jiao; she was so handsome and adorable in front of him.
"Aqi, do you think the Emperor knows that I'm researching spirit energy balls?"
Rong Qi put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth: "I told him that we researched it together, but as for what he really thinks, only he knows. However, he must know about the decree this morning; the inspiration for this thing came from you."
As she ate, Feng Qinghuang said, "No wonder. I was wondering why the Emperor gave me a title out of the blue."
Sigh, she just wants a low-key life!
Rong Qi smiled and said, "What, Jiao Jiao doesn't like this title?"
Feng Qinghuang shook her head: "It's not that I don't like it, it's just that I don't want to attract too much attention."
"It's alright, no matter how low-key our Jiaojiao tries, she can't hide her own brilliance."
Rong Qi's words were absolutely true. Feng Qinghuang had wanted to keep a low profile, but things rarely go as planned. Just looking at her status and family background, it was impossible for her to remain low-key.
Feng Qinghuang bit her chopsticks: "Sigh, with this title being announced, I reckon some people will be getting restless again."
"What do I care what they do? The Emperor personally bestowed her title, and she is a princess with a rank, which is even higher than some concubines. Jiaojiao has nothing to fear from anyone."
Feng Qinghuang: "I have no rank, and I'm not afraid of anyone. I'm just afraid of trouble."
Rong Qi chuckled: "Jiaojiao is so cute. The title of 'uncle' is quite fitting."
"Why."
Rong Qi stopped what he was doing and explained, "Look, Jiao Jiao's title is Anle, which means that we hope our Jiao Jiao will be safe and happy. That is exactly what I hope for too."
Upon hearing Rong Qi's explanation, Feng Qinghuang beamed with joy: "I think what A-Qi said is right. Sister Xiao is Chang Le, and I am An Le, that's more like sisters. By the way, A-Qi, does Sister Qing have any title?"
Rong Qi nodded: "Father is the Emperor's younger brother, a prince. Moreover, Qing'er and Xiao'er grew up together. Father loves Xiao'er, so naturally he also likes the well-behaved and lovely Qing'er. Therefore, while giving Xiao'er a title, he also gave Qing'er a title."
Feng Qinghuang quickly pressed on, "Really? What is Sister Qing's title?"
“Chang Huan, but Qing’er doesn’t have a rank, she only has a title.”
Feng Qinghuang pouted: "Ah, you even distinguish them so clearly? It's so complicated."
Rong Qi tapped her upturned nose: "Jiaojiao doesn't need to understand these things. Anyway, no matter what rank or title you have, you don't need to bow to anyone. Even if someone makes things difficult for you, you don't need to hold back. You have Aqi here."
Feng Qinghuang smiled slyly: "What if Aqi bullies me?"
Rong Qi chuckled and took her little hand: "How could A Qi possibly bully you? Only Jiao Jiao bullies me."
"Hahahaha. Aqi's expression is so cute."
"By the way, Aqi, did the Emperor say that this spirit energy ball was to be used on the battlefield?"
Rong Qi shook his head: "I've already told him that it's in the experimental stage now and can't be fully put into use yet. It can only be used after it's completely stable. Besides, the country is peaceful and prosperous now, so there's no rush for this."
Feng Qinghuang nodded: "I think so too."
"Is Jiaojiao full?"
Feng Qinghuang nodded: "Mmm, I'm very full."
Rong Qi: "Then it's settled. We'll go to Wuji Mountain to see your master first thing tomorrow morning. Jiaojiao can't sleep in."
"I understand, Aqi. Since we've already agreed, I won't slack off. I miss Master and Xiaoxue so much."
Rong Qi pressed further, "Do you miss your master or Xiaoxue?"
"I want both."
Rong Qi: "You're not allowed to think about me, you can only think about me."
Okay.
If you won't let me say it, can't I at least think about it secretly?
The two held hands and bickered the whole way home.
When Feng Qinghuang returned home, she went to the main courtyard to tell her parents that she was going up the mountain to see her master the next day. Thus, Feng Qingyun was once again used as a tool, tasked with protecting her younger sister the next day.
