Fengliu had never seen such a shameless woman before. He looked to Meng Xi for help, "Father, she's bullying me!"
Before Meng Xi could reply, another calm and collected voice rang out, "Why is the Imperial Garden so lively today?"
"Royal brother!" Feng Guang happily moved closer to Xia Fengxue, hugged his arm, and smiled sweetly. Her appearance was so adorable that there was no trace of her arrogant demeanor from just moments before.
Xia Fengxue reached out and smoothed her hair, which had been slightly ruffled by the wind as she ran over. This intimate gesture was so natural that even bystanders found it perfectly normal. After all, Princess Changning had always been pampered by her eldest brother.
Meng Xi and Feng Miyin bowed together, "Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
"No need for formalities." Xia Fengxue smiled at the child. "I suppose this must be the child of Prince Luo and Princess Luo. I've heard that several years ago, Prince Luo and Princess Wuyou had a son due to some twist of fate. Princess Wuyou must have had a very difficult time raising the child alone. I never expected that many years later, Princess Wuyou would become Princess Luo, and this child would be recognized by his ancestors. It makes one marvel at how fate truly is the most wondrous thing in the world."
Feng Miyin and Meng Xi's expressions turned grim. Xia Fengxue's words sounded nice, but weren't they essentially accusing them of having an affair without a matchmaker, and that Feng Miyin, as a princess, had given birth out of wedlock? More importantly, he said he heard it from someone—who? To protect Feng Miyin and Feng Liu's reputations, Meng Xi had kept this a secret, only saying that Feng Liu was his adopted child. And only Feng Guang knew the truth, since she was the one who told him…
Meng Xi looked at Feng Guang, her eyes slowly turning icy, conveying a sense of "I misjudged you, so this is the kind of woman you are."
Xia Fengxue took a step back, blocking the view behind him. He smiled and said, "Although Fengliu is still young, his features are very similar to those of Prince Luo. No wonder so many people say that Fengliu is not actually Prince Luo's adopted child, but his biological son. But it's not surprising that such rumors exist. Didn't Prince Luo visit Liubi Kingdom once six years ago?"
Meng Xi: "..."
His complexion was more than just unpleasant.
Feng Guang chuckled softly behind Xia Fengxue. She thought to herself, "Since he's the male lead's son, how could he not look like him?"
At this moment, Feng Miyin spoke up, "It was precisely because this child looks so much like the Prince Luo that we felt a connection with him and adopted him."
Fengliu remained silent, obediently. Even though he was unhappy that he had been changed from a biological son to an adopted son, he was smart enough to know that there were some things he shouldn't say.
"I see." Xia Fengxue nodded and said, "I knew that Prince Luo and Princess Luo were not such unconventional people. Fortunately, Fengliu did not have the birthmark that only the Liubi royal family had, otherwise Prince Luo and Princess Luo would probably have been unable to explain themselves."
At this point, Feng Miyin also fell silent.
Finally, Meng Xi said it was getting late and then left the Imperial Garden with Feng Miyin and Feng Liu.
As Feng Guang watched the family of three walk away, he sighed insincerely, "What a happy family."
Xia Fengxue said thoughtfully, "It cannot be denied that sometimes the presence of a child can indeed strengthen the relationship between husband and wife."
"...What are you thinking about now?"
“I’m thinking, maybe we can bring back the Fourteenth Prince who was assigned to another post.”
"Really!?" She was first surprised, then doubtful. "Weren't you always afraid that I liked him? You always sent him to do missions in faraway places. Why did you change your mind and bring him back?"
"Has Fengguang been craving sour foods lately?"
She thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes."
"Has the period for menstruation in Fengguang been delayed by half a month compared to usual?"
“Yes…” Her eyes widened, and she gripped his hand so tightly that she could leave a mark. “Don’t tell me… I am…”
"Well, all my efforts over the past few days have not been in vain."
Feng Guang gritted her teeth and lowered her voice, "Didn't you say you were using contraception?"
Well, now that's great. He had just finished mocking others for their illicit affairs, and now it's their turn to be the ones to suffer.
"Judging from my father's intentions, I'm afraid he wants to stay in his prime for a few more years, and I'd like to have a crown princess."
"The yoke..."
"Don't worry, we will have a wedding soon. I will never let Feng Guang have a child before the wedding, just like Feng Mi Yin."
"You're using your child to force me into marriage, how shameless!"
"If you've already gotten a wife, what right do you have to be so shameless?"
She was speechless with emotion. How come she hadn't realized before that this man was such a scoundrel?
