Something terrible has happened?
What could be more important than being abruptly woken from a sweet dream?
Yuan Yao almost cried.
She's dreaming about the Emperor Jiuqian!
In her dream, her handsome father was holding a rose in full bloom, beckoning to her: "Little Yao'er, come here..."
As a result, Xie Zhi's loud and boisterous voice rang out.
I woke up from the dream, and my father was gone...
Yuan Yao's temples throbbed.
She softly kicked off the covers and said lazily, "Jing'er..."
Jing'er pushed Xie Zhi aside and came in through the door: "Young Master, please wait outside for a moment. The Princess needs to change her clothes."
After saying that, he slammed the door shut.
Xie Zhi almost hit his nose.
Touching his nose, Xie Zhi chuckled, "How come a little maid's temper is becoming more and more like her master's?"
They all have such terrible tempers.
"It's all because of Xiao Yao'er's indulgence," Xie Zhi muttered, leaning against the door.
Yuan Yao had gone to bed late last night and was woken up again. She felt very weak and had no energy, so she let Jing'er dress and wash her.
While tying her hair up, Jing'er sighed, "Everything has been confiscated, and the princess didn't even wear her hair ornaments."
Yuan Yao looked at herself in the mirror: "Do I look bad without the beaded flowers?"
"Of course not!" Jing'er shook her head: "This servant is just worried about the princess..."
"I really hope His Majesty can come to save the princess..."
"Pfft..." Yuan Yao laughed out loud: "Why is Father coming to save me? Does he grow wings and fly over?"
"Even on horseback, it would take half a month to get back to Daqi from here!"
Even a high-ranking official has his own things to do!
The crown prince was mediocre, and the emperor was incompetent; he simply couldn't spare the time.
If he knew that his precious daughter was suffering like this in Xiqiu, he might just bring his troops to attack...
After washing up, Yuan Yao opened the door.
Xie Zhizheng leaned against the window, smiling, and asked, "Did you sleep well last night?"
“Not very good!” Yuan Yao replied.
"How could you not have slept well?" Xie Zhi immediately stood up straight and looked into the room. "Was the bed not soft enough?"
“No.” Yuan Yao blinked: “Last night, I went to clean up the dried phoenix.”
Xie Zhi paused for a moment, then burst into laughter: "It really was you!"
Yuan Yao reminded him, "Don't tell them about this, not even Feng Xun and the others."
"Understood!" Xie Zhi laughed. "You did a really good job on this! I almost died laughing when I heard about it!"
Yuan Yao immediately perked up: "Tell me more about it?"
Xie Zhi smiled and said, "I got up early to practice my sword and heard the guards talking outside the door, so I went to the wall to listen to the commotion."
I heard that the entire city of Zangxue was in an uproar this morning!
It turned out that the emperor was furious when he learned what Feng Gan had done to us yesterday, and ordered the second prince, Feng Huan, to go and find Feng Gan.
Upon learning that Feng Gan was in a brothel, Feng Huan made a big fuss and led a large group of people to search for him.
And guess what happened?
Yuan Yao: "?"
Xie Zhi, are you starting to tantalize people now?
Yuan Yao deliberately played along and asked, "What's wrong?"
"There's a big man lying on the phoenix bed, hahaha..." Xie Zhi said, slapping his thigh wildly.
"puff……"
Yuan Yao also laughed out loud.
"That's not all!" a voice came from the side.
Yuan Yao turned her head and said with a smile, "Good morning, Sister Huaiyao."
Huaiyao was holding a whip in his hand, seemingly having just returned from whip practice.
Huaiyao's forehead was still covered in fine sweat, but her eyebrows were raised: "The palace servants passing by outside the courtyard are all talking about how Fenggan was pressed down by a big man all night and is in so much pain this morning that he can't get out of bed."
"Pfft, hahaha..." Yuan Yao couldn't hold back any longer.
The chili peppers with the broken moon are really good!
We'll have to reward him later!
Canfeng did an exceptionally good job too!
Huaiyao continued vividly, "I heard that Fenggan is impotent in that area and has become a eunuch. He's gone crazy with anger!"
He was still in bed when he drew his sword, intending to kill the burly man, but unexpectedly, Feng Huan stopped him and saved the man...
The entire city of Cangxue probably knows by now that their Crown Prince is gay!
"Being gay and unable to have children, Feng Gan becomes a useless person and has no chance of becoming the crown prince..."
"Ahem..." A soft cough came from the side.
Feng Xun accompanied Huai Rou as they slowly walked towards them.
After coughing, Feng Xun still had his hand on his lips.
Huairou blushed slightly: "Huaiyao, why aren't you shut up? How can a girl say such things?"
“I didn’t say anything!” Huaiyao said nonchalantly. “Besides, what I said is the truth.”
"The truth must not be spread." Huairou said gently but seriously, "Jingyue Pavilion must not discuss this matter, otherwise, if Fenggan comes looking for us, it will be detrimental to us."
"Oh..." Huaiyao reluctantly agreed.
At this moment, Feng Xun looked at Yuan Yao and asked gently, "Princess, did you sleep well last night?"
His eyes were clear and bright.
Yuan Yao suddenly felt a little guilty.
Feng Xun... seems to have guessed?
Yuan Yao cleared her throat and replied, "I must have been too tired from traveling all this time; I slept very well last night."
Feng Xun nodded: "That's good then."
Yuan Yao touched her nose and looked away.
At this moment, Feng Xun said, "Breakfast has been served. Let's have breakfast first."
As soon as food was mentioned, Xie Zhi rubbed his stomach and said, "Let's go! I'm starving!"
Yesterday, he only ate a few flatbreads and drank a few bowls of soup. He was starving!
Breakfast is served in the dining room on the first floor.
Upon entering the dining room, the group of people were all stunned.
Because today's breakfast was exactly the same as yesterday's!
Even the amount of scallions in the soup is about the same!
Feng Xun's face turned completely black.
He clenched his fist, his brow twitching slightly.
The others looked somewhat embarrassed.
Yuan Yao secretly rejoiced; thankfully, she had sneaked out to eat meat last night…
At this moment, Xie Zhi called out loudly, "What are you standing there for? Eat up!"
As he spoke, he sat down first, picked up a bowl of soup, and drank it in big gulps.
After finishing his drink, Xie Zhi laughed and said, "This beef soup actually tastes like fish today."
"Really?" Huairou said, "Let me try it."
As she spoke, Huairou also picked up a bowl of soup and took a sip elegantly.
After finishing the soup, her eyes brightened slightly, and she said softly, "Your Highness is right, this soup really does taste like fish."
Finding joy in hardship—that's roughly it.
Yuan Yao looked at Jing'er: "There's a food box on the table in my room. Go and take it to the kitchen to heat it up."
The sharp-eared crowd caught the words "food box".
Jiang Chengyan looked pale and put down the soup bowl he had just picked up: "Yuan Xiaoyao, what have you been hiding?"
"Shh..." Yuan Yao pointed outside the dining room.
The palace servants who brought the food are still waiting outside.
Seeing this, Feng Xun got up and walked to the door: "You all go out first, and come back in half an hour later."
He entered the room only after everyone had left.
Soon, Jing'er returned with the heated meat.
Upon seeing the steaming hot braised beef, the group of people, like hungry wolves with eyes gleaming, quickly devoured the meat.
As the last piece of meat was swallowed, a series of hurried footsteps sounded outside the courtyard.
Along with it came the shrill voice of a eunuch: "Your Highness, Third Prince, the Emperor has issued an urgent decree..."
