In Luo Yunya's Proud Sun Palace, Feng Qinghuang's eldest and third senior brothers, along with Rong Qi and Rong Xi, were sitting together, eating pastries and drinking tea.
Feng Qinghuang recounted her story of saving You Xuewu to everyone as if it were a tale. Everyone burst into laughter.
You Bowu shook her head helplessly: "Only Junior Sister could do something so illogical. And yet, no one can find any fault with her, leaving them with no choice but to accept defeat."
Feng Qinghuang patted her chest to catch her breath: "Senior Brother, you don't know, You Xuewu's current appearance is absolutely hilarious. I almost couldn't hold back before I even left Yuqing Palace. Luckily I managed to, otherwise the Empress would have punished me. By the way, Senior Brother, didn't Master come with you? Where is he? This time, Second Senior Brother didn't come either, was something holding him back?"
“After Master came back with us, he left a note that night and disappeared. He said he had something to do and would be back in a few days. There was no need to look for him; he would come back on his own. As for your second senior brother, he was probably held up by something.”
Feng Qinghuang pouted: "Master, why have you become so mysterious lately?"
Youbowu sighed, "Junior Sister knows that Master doesn't want us to know where he went, so he won't reveal any information. The only thing we can do is wait. Don't worry, with Master's cultivation level, ordinary people can't hurt him."
Feng Qinghuang nodded.
The group spent the afternoon in the Scorching Sun Palace before returning to their respective quarters to rest. Meanwhile, their beloved master was enjoying a hearty meal and drinks in You Lanfeng's imperial study.
Looking at his senior brother, who was completely unrefined, You Lanfeng wondered how long it had been since he had eaten properly, as he was like a hungry wolf.
"Senior brother, you went to clear the land before, why do you look like a starving ghost?"
Rong Jin wiped his mouth: "Xiao Feng, you're wrong about that. Delicious food is what touches people's hearts the most. I'm eating like this entirely to show my love for the food, do you understand?"
When You Lanfeng heard the title "Senior Brother," the corners of his mouth twitched incessantly. It seemed like no one had called him that for over a decade, and hearing it again suddenly brought back a sense of nostalgia.
Although he hadn't been with his master for many years, his fellow disciples treated him very well, especially his eldest disciple.
After that, he went down the mountain and returned to the Youlan Kingdom to become emperor, and then he had little contact with his sect anymore.
"Senior brother, what brings you here this time...?"
Rong Jin answered while eating, "I just wanted you to meet your junior disciples. Since Rong Xi is coming to deliver the betrothal gifts, I came to Youlan Kingdom with the eldest brother ahead of time. We'll go back together later. I came along because I missed the delicious food in Youlan Kingdom, and also because I was worried that someone might bully my little disciple."
When You Lanfeng heard his senior brother say that someone was bullying his little disciple, he rolled his eyes in exasperation. "Does anyone think they can bully your little disciple? Didn't you see how badly he treated Wu'er? Even though Wu'er brought it on herself, your little disciple was really ruthless. Wu'er's face was a truly horrible sight."
As for the eldest brother mentioned by the senior brother, You Lanfeng already knew that he was his nephew. He had already met the other two junior nephews, so only Di Wuyou was left.
"Senior brother, regarding the blank imperial edict I promised to give to your little disciple this morning, what do you think your little disciple will use it for?"
He wanted to ask his senior brother, since his senior brother knew his little apprentice well. If his senior brother told him, he would at least have some idea of what was going on.
Rong Jin finished her drink and said, "It seems you don't have much here that she's looking forward to. My little apprentice loves to eat, as well as luminous jewels and rare herbs. You seem to have nothing here."
You Lanfeng's lips twitched. So, there's nothing in my You Lan Kingdom that your little apprentice would even notice? Are young girls this picky now?
In the end, You Lanfeng couldn't get any information out of him. Rong Jin had also drunk enough, so You Lanfeng had someone take him back to his resting place.
After Rong Jin returned, You Lanfeng had all the food and wine removed, and prepared to review the memorials for a while longer.
Suddenly, a eunuch announced that His Highness the Crown Prince was requesting an audience. You Lanfeng waved his hand, signaling the eunuch to bring the prince in.
After You Xueming entered, he felt there was a smell of wine and food in the Imperial Study, but he dared not ask, for fear of being scolded by his father.
"Your subject greets Your Majesty."
You Lanfeng raised his hand: "Enough. What is it that you come to see me so late?"
Before You Xueming could figure out what to say, You Lanfeng spoke up.
"Just say what you want to say. Is there anything you can't say between father and son?"
Upon hearing her father's words, You Xueming immediately spoke up: "Father, may I accompany my cousin Yunya to the Azure Dragon Kingdom to escort her to her wedding? I have never been to the Azure Dragon Kingdom's royal family in all these years, and I would like to observe and learn about the customs and culture of other countries."
You Lanfeng asked doubtfully, "Does the Crown Prince really want to go?"
You Xueming nodded.
"Alright, I agree. But when the time comes, you must come back quickly and take care of your safety."
You Xueming was secretly delighted: "Thank you, Father. I will pay more attention. I will take my leave now, and I hope you will rest well."
You Lanfeng nodded: "Okay, go ahead."
This child always tries to compare himself to the mist; his intentions are too obvious.
Oh well, let it be.
