After Rong Qi and Feng Qinghuang returned to the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion, the others were already waiting for them in the main hall.
Rong Qi told them about Di Qingtian's fate and said that he would prepare to return to Qinglong Kingdom first thing tomorrow morning.
Since Rong Qi and Feng Qinghuang were leaving, Mu Weiliang and You Bowu naturally had to take their leave as well, since they had come specifically for them.
That evening, Ye Xiaoxiao arranged for the kitchen to prepare a lavish meal as a farewell gift for them.
During the meal, Di Wuyou explained that because there were many things to handle at the palace, and her father was about to ascend the throne, she might not be able to travel with them. However, she would visit them again once things were settled here.
Everyone understood what Di Wuyou meant; their second senior brother's status had changed, and things would likely become much more complicated. However, they believed that with his abilities, everything would be a piece of cake for him.
After dinner, Ye Xiaoxiao called Feng Qinghuang to her room and told her to be careful on the journey and to come visit her often when she had free time.
Ye Xiaoxiao felt a pang of reluctance as she watched her daughter prepare to go home.
Ye Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered something and handed a letter from under the pillow on the bedside table to Feng Qinghuang.
"Auntie, what is this?"
Ye Xiaoxiao patted her hand: "This is a letter your Aunt Pianpian and I wrote to your mother. We want to adopt you as our daughter, but we definitely need your mother's consent, so this letter was written by the two of us. You should give it to your mother when you go back. We were originally going to travel with you this time, but alas..."
Ye Xiaoxiao thought that once she became empress, the first thing she would do was to have the emperor bestow the title of princess upon her daughter, so that Xiao Huang'er would not be able to run away.
"Yes, yes, Auntie, don't worry, I will definitely leave it to my mother."
Ye Xiaoxiao looked at Feng Qinghuang with loving eyes: "Next time you come, you can bring your mother along so we sisters can chat."
Empress Fengqing nodded happily: "Yes, yes, Auntie."
Feng Qinghuang gave Ye Xiaoxiao several bottles of her own pills, each with its specific type and effects clearly written down. She also gave Ye Xiaoxiao some of her own homemade barbecue sauce and beauty ointment. She knew Ye Xiaoxiao liked her, so she naturally reciprocated by treating her well.
The two talked until very late before Feng Qinghuang went back to rest.
Meanwhile, the men's conversation continued in the study.
The next morning, after everyone had packed up and eaten breakfast, they prepared to set off.
Ye Xiaoxiao clung to Feng Qinghuang, extremely reluctant to part, almost on the verge of tears. If Di Xiao hadn't pulled her back, she probably would have gotten into the carriage with Feng Qinghuang.
Feng Qinghuang smiled sweetly at her: "Godmother, take care of yourself. I will come back to see you."
Upon hearing the word "godmother," Ye Xiaoxiao could no longer hold back and began to sob.
Di Xiao patted her gently: "Alright, now you've finally gotten what you wanted, why are you still crying? You're just making a fool of yourself in front of the children."
Ye Xiaoxiao punched Di Xiao a few times: "What do you know? I'm just touched."
Ye Xiaoxiao then ignored Di Xiao and looked at Feng Qinghuang in the carriage.
"Good child, Mother is waiting for you and Wan to come over."
Feng Qinghuang smiled and nodded: "Okay, godmother."
Take care on your journey.
The carriage sped off, and the Prince of Xiaoyao and his family only turned back to their courtyard after the carriage had disappeared from sight.
Looking at everything in the courtyard, Di Xiao sighed, "Alas, this courtyard won't be a comfortable place to live for much longer."
Di Wuyou looked at him with doubt: "Father, this place can be used as my separate residence in the future."
Emperor Xiao waved his hand: "You can decide for yourself. Also, think about it these next few days. When I ascend the throne, what name should I give the country? What title should I bestow on your sister as a princess? Your position as crown prince will definitely be granted as well. You need to think these things through. I have important matters to attend to now."
After Di Xiao finished speaking, he pulled Ye Xiaoxiao away.
Di Wuyou was speechless. Shouldn't all of this be your business? Why are you leaving it all to me? I haven't even been crown prince yet! And your important business is nothing more than pleasing your mother.
Sigh, there's nothing I can do. Di Wuyou thought about the future. Even if his father ascended the throne, he would probably be a hands-off ruler. His future days were going to be tough.
He could only squeeze his cousin Zong Yue a little.
Di Wuyou wasted no time. Thinking of Zong Yue, he sent someone to deliver a message to Zong Yue, asking him to come to the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion.
When Zong Yue received the message, he was completely bewildered. His cousin had time to see him now? Shouldn't he be busy with palace matters? His cousin's visit was never for anything good. Should he go or not?
After thinking for a long time, Zong Yue decided that he still had to go. Otherwise, knowing his cousin's personality, if he didn't go, the cousin would probably come to the mansion to find him. If his parents found out that he was trying to slack off, he would probably be in big trouble.
Oh, his life is so miserable!
