"Your Highness, please don't joke around. Although you don't have an official title, everyone knows you are the Emperor's right-hand man. How long are you going to stay here? Why are you asking me? How could I, a commoner, possibly influence your decision?" Looking at the handsome face that was so close to hers, his burning gaze and ambiguous tone made Hong Xiaoduo feel inexplicably flustered. After speaking, she quickened her pace.
The sun is shining brightly today, and I'm feeling a bit hot wearing too many layers!
She regretted it a little; she should have stood up and left right after finishing her meal.
Seriously, is it because spring is coming? So, some males are starting to feel the stirrings of love?
"Hello, Miss Feiyan, what a coincidence, we meet again. Have you had breakfast? Here, have this to tide you over." Hong Xiaoduo was lost in thought when someone suddenly rushed over from the opposite side and said excitedly.
Hong Xiaoduo looked over and saw a general in armor smiling as he stuffed a small cloth bag into Fei Yan's hand.
"I've already eaten, no need, no need, General, please keep it for yourself..." Fei Yan was also taken aback by this sudden scene. When she came to her senses, she found herself holding a small cloth bag. The other person had already walked away, looking back at her as he walked, and accidentally bumped into his companion.
Looking at Fei Yan's blushing face and then at Tian Shu and the others' pursed-lip smiles, Hong Xiaoduo remembered what Yao Guang had whispered to her: a deputy general had fallen for Fei Yan.
Oh, it really is because spring has arrived! Hong Xiaoduo felt she had found the right answer.
Otherwise, how could this happen? One is like this, and then two are like this too?
When Fei Yan saw that everyone was looking at her, she wanted to throw away what she was holding, but then she thought it was inappropriate, so she tried to stuff it into Tian Xuan and the others' hands haphazardly, thinking that once it was out of their hands, it would be none of her business.
Unfortunately, the children dodged quickly, and after pushing and shoving for a while, the item was still in her hand.
"Xiaoduo, don't overthink it. It's not what you think. Don't misunderstand." Feiyan hurriedly explained when she saw Hong Xiaoduo's ambiguous smile.
Hong Xiaoduo quickly suppressed her smile and tried to appear serious, saying, "Yes, no need to explain, I understand."
Involuntarily, the lyrics of Zhao Zhongxiang's "Animal World" began to play in my ears: "Spring has arrived, all things are reviving, it's the season for animals..."
Her response made Fei Yan realize immediately that she didn't understand anything and it was clearly a misunderstanding!
Embarrassed, Feiyan stamped her foot and ran towards the inn.
Hong Xiaoduo and the others were worried, so they quickly followed.
The innkeeper and his staff, seeing the guests return, quickly went up to greet them.
"Manager, two guest rooms, please," Yuanxi said to the person behind the counter as he entered the inn.
Oh, there are actually guests staying here!
"What kind of room would you like, sir?" the innkeeper behind the counter asked quickly.
Yuanxi waved to Tianji, who was walking at the back, and replied, "It doesn't matter what room it is, as long as it's next to theirs."
As expected, after he finished speaking, he saw a satisfied expression on his young master's face.
Upon hearing this, the innkeeper realized that they had entered around the same time as Miss Hong and seemed to know each other. Judging from their appearances, they didn't seem like petty thieves. So, he immediately agreed and had his waiter lead them to their rooms.
With war raging, I thought there would be no business to do. But to my surprise, after dawn, not only did the troops of Fengliang Kingdom enter the city, but the guests who had come to stay also entered.
Moreover, it wasn't just one group.
All we wanted were the top-class guest rooms.
It seems like they're not just staying for one or two nights. Hmm, that's really nice!
Hong Xiaoduo went upstairs, signaling Yuheng and Yaoguang not to follow her, and then went into Feiyan's room by herself.
Inside the room, Fei Yan sat by the coffee table, staring blankly at the small cloth bag on it.
"Xiaoduo, what's the best way to handle this?" Feiyan asked softly, looking down.
"Let's see what's inside first," Hong Xiaoduo said, stepping forward and gently patting Feiyan's shoulder.
When she opened the small cloth bag, the two of them couldn't help but laugh when they saw that it contained several pieces of pastry that had been squeezed out of shape.
Hong Xiaoduo sat down next to Fei Yan, tapped the edge of the pastry with her hand, and said, "It's a good thing that someone likes you. Besides, the other party is not a slick playboy."
The Gong family army was known for its strict discipline; anyone who could rise to a high-ranking position under General Gong must be of impeccable character.
Feiyan, in terms of age, I should actually call you "elder sister".
It's just the two of us here now, and you're already of marriageable age. Why don't you consider this? Let's stay here a little longer. I'll get to know Tianquan better with his parents, and you can get to know him better too.
If it doesn't seem right, let's give up.
Or, what are your thoughts? Please share them.
"Can't I just stay with you and not get married? What am I thinking? I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, following you has been the most comfortable life I've had since losing my father and mother."
"Get married? I'm afraid, I don't dare, and I don't want to try." Fei Yan also put away her shyness and said frankly.
"What about your eldest brother, Quan Jinghuai? Have you considered him? We know each other well, and I want to keep the good stuff in the family. If you're interested, I'll try to match you up."
You know your brother's personality; he doesn't care much about romantic relationships.
"But if you marry him, you will definitely not regret it." Hong Xiaoduo also expressed the thought that she had long kept in her heart.
“He’s family to me, a relative. I can’t think of him that way at all. And I don’t want to change that.” Fei Yan thought about it very seriously, then shook her head with a smile.
"Alright." Hearing her say that, Hong Xiaoduo decided not to play matchmaker anymore.
"And this?" Hong Xiaoduo asked, gesturing towards the pastry wrapper.
Seeing that Feiyan did not respond, Hong Xiaoduo thought for a moment and said, "Feiyan, even if I am not by your side in the future, you are not alone. The relationship and feelings between you and the seven others, including Tian Shu and your eldest brother, will not cease because of my departure."
You still have their support. If you meet someone suitable, you can try dating them, see how well you get along, and then make a decision.
It's not like we need immediate results.
Hearing Hong Xiaoduo say this, Feiyan's mood immediately became heavy: "Is it really that serious? If we leave, we'll never see each other again?"
Hong Xiaoduo nodded and said, "Yes, it's not that I don't want to see you, it's that I can't see you anymore."
"Then why can't we stay? Isn't it good for us to stay like this? That Prince Mu likes you very much. He rushed to the city gates at dawn, found us, and his face changed when he learned that you had followed us into the city alone."
"It's clear how important you are to him. Can't you even consider him?" Fei Yan didn't dare ask any more questions after hearing this. Xiao Duo certainly wouldn't hide anything from her. Her eyes were red.
What exactly is Xiaoduo's identity? After returning to that home, she can no longer see them?
She's so powerful, she's not even afraid of the emperor, so what kind of rules could possibly restrain her!
"Him?" Hong Xiaoduo was stunned when she heard this. Was she really that important to that prince...?
