Upon hearing Feng Guang refer to the man's Cuizhu Pavilion as a doghouse, Fei Yu's eyes rolled back, and she was so frightened that she fainted. Fortunately, Liu Qi, who was standing next to her, caught her, otherwise she would have fallen to the ground.
Feng Guang also saw Fei Yu faint. She said pitifully, "Look, my maid has fainted from heatstroke. I need to take her to see the imperial physician. You should let this dog go."
He chuckled lightly, raised his hand, and said casually, "Commander Liu, since the Crown Princess is so concerned about her maid, why don't you do her a favor and send her to the Imperial Hospital?"
"Yes, sir..." Liu Qi left with Fei Yu, his expression a mixture of emotions.
The man smiled and said, "Your Highness, now you don't need to worry about your maid. Why don't you go up there and breathe some fresh air and enjoy the view?"
Feng Guang finally understood what it meant to shoot herself in the foot. She squatted miserably on the palace wall, and then suddenly realized something else: "That Liu Qi called you 'Sir'?"
"good."
What's your last name?
He laughed, "My surname is Song."
She stammered, "Song...Song Wuxia?"
"I am Song Wuxia." He nodded slightly, displaying the elegance of a refined gentleman.
Feng Guang was speechless. She felt her worldview had been shaken. Wasn't Song Wuxia supposed to be a eunuch? Why didn't he seem like a eunuch at all? Instead, he was a gentle and refined gentleman. And he wasn't effeminate, nor did he speak in a high-pitched voice... Was he really a eunuch?
Feng Guang was deeply puzzled, little did he know that everyone who met Song Wuxia for the first time would fall into the same dilemma.
"It seems my identity has surprised the Crown Princess," Song Wuxia said calmly. He could guess what she was thinking just from her silence. It wasn't that he had mind-reading abilities, but rather that her thoughts were written on her face, and he could see right through her.
“Song…” She coughed, swallowing the word “father-in-law” that was about to come out, and changed her words to “Lord Song…the sunshine is really nice today.”
Song Wuxia looked up at the blazing sun and smiled, "Yes, the sun is shining brightly today."
"I heard the lotus flowers at Beauty Lake are blooming beautifully lately. How about we go for a boat trip on the lake together sometime?" She looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, as if to say, "Let's talk about what to eat tomorrow."
The previously quiet crowd suddenly turned to look at Feng Guang, unsure whether the Crown Princess was stupid.
Song Wuxia stroked her chin. "Why does the Crown Princess want to invite me to swim in the lake?"
"Seeing Lord Song reminded me of a saying."
"Oh?" he asked in a teasing tone, "Could it be that one rises from the mud unsullied, and remains pure and unblemished?"
"Even in the gentle breezes of April and May, it can conceal a beautiful woman's waist."
Song Wuxia paused, the sarcasm hidden in her smile gone. She never expected that instead of lamenting the fact that he didn't look like a eunuch like the others, she would directly say that he was a beauty. Song Wuxia had always thought herself beautiful, but hearing it from her mouth now had a different flavor.
So he smiled insincerely and said, "Your Highness has excellent literary talent."
"This is so-so..." Feng Guang was a little shy because it was the first time someone had praised her writing skills. She asked cautiously, "I think... it must be tiring for you to talk to me with your head tilted back. How about we make a deal? You can let your dog leave, and I'll praise you a few more times."
