"Cong Lv, what on earth is going on, how can Brother Prince Feng be so good to that woman, how did they hook up?" Princess Qing Bi finally ca to her senses after the carriage from Feng Residence had gone far away, and she asked angrily.
Beiqing’s most handso man, Prince Feng, has always been impartial in his deanor.
He has never been so considerate to anyone, not even... not even that person from the Dan Palace.
"Fifth Princess, you are a noble lady of the Imperial Palace, it would be wise to be cautious with your words. Prince Feng and Miss Ye were close friends back in Daxia," Cong Lv also withdrew his gaze, admonishing Princess Qing Bi.
"True friends only, Cong Lv, are you blind or am I? When has the Beiqing Feng Mansion ever hosted a female guest?" Princess Qing Bi looked at Xiahou Qi, who was still in a daze.
Since the forr masters of the Feng Residence tragically died, it has been years since the Feng Mansion hosted any guests, even Cong Lv, who is very close to Feng Xun, has never stayed over at the mansion.
Yet today, it was broken for Ye Lingyue from Daxia.
"Perhaps in Feng Xun’s heart, Ye Lingyue is not a guest," Cong Lv’s words seed to be answering Qing Bi, or perhaps addressing everyone present.
Not a guest, then she is the host.
The fingers under Xiahou Qi’s sleeve whitened from clenching.
Hong Mingyue seed pensive, while Hong Yuying looked terribly like she was grinding her teeth.
"Does the Heavenly Maiden know about this? She is, after all, Brother Prince Feng’s fiancée?" Qing Bi was taken aback for a mont, soon scoffed, and cast a glance at Hong Yuying among the crowd, whose face instantly turned pale as if she was about to faint.
Prince Feng has a fiancée?
These won from Daxia are really shaless, thinking they can turn into phoenixes by climbing onto a branch, with soone like Heavenly Maiden around, who could care about them.
The carriage entered Emperor City, passing through most of it, and stopped in front of a residence in the southern corner of the city.
It was not as spectacular as imagined, but every brick and every plant was crafted with uniqueness.
Feng Residence, like Feng Xun himself, seems unnoticeable at first glance, but upon closer observation, it is distinctively elegant.
If there’s anything different from the Feng Residence in Xia Capital, it would be the people.
At the mansion gate, Housekeeper Mu had been waiting for quite a while with hundreds of maids and servants, and Sword Slave had a stern face, which only softened when they saw Ye Lingyue.
Especially Housekeeper Mu, whose old face bead like a sunflower.
"Miss Ye, Eldest Miss Lan, and the young lady, you have finally arrived." This was the first thing Housekeeper Mu said.
And the second was...
"This is Miss Ye, her relationship with our Prince is quite extraordinary; from now on in the mansion, her words should be treated as if they are the Prince’s. Everyone understands, right?"
A chorus of affirming responses.
This made Ye Lingyue quite embarrassed, not knowing where to turn her gaze, severely glaring at Feng Xun, thinking you should at least manage your servants, Housekeeper Mu, what kind of statent is that, isn’t this causing misunderstandings?
Upon looking again, there wasn’t a hint of reproach in Feng Xun’s eyes.
The afternoon sunlight, falling on his face, seed to gild his lashes in gold.
Ye Lingyue’s heart skipped a beat, and the words that had reached her lips were swallowed back down.
Those servants and maids were all clever, stealthily sizing up Miss Ye who was exceptional.
Seeing her face wrapped up like a rice dumpling, yet His Highness Prince was smiling, softly gazing at her.
Housekeeper Mu ordered the servants to move the luggage of Ye Lingyue and the others in. The Feng Residence was vast; three female guests could each have a courtyard to themselves with room to spare. However, while allocating, Housekeeper Mu deliberately arranged for Ye Lingyue to stay in the courtyard adjacent to Feng Xun.
When leading them to their respective courtyards, Lan Cai’er secretly stopped Feng Xun.
"Prince Feng, considering how cooperative I was just now, shouldn’t you show so appreciation?" Lan Cai’er said with a sly smile.
Her expression and mannerisms, no wonder General Lan once bitterly complained when drunk.
"I say, my daughter, you’re supposed to be a valiant lady of a military house, how did you end up twisted, reeking of money."
At that mont, Lan Cai’er was also drunk, patting her chest in reply.
"I’m a rchant, and I’m proud of it. Money is everything. When I have money, I’ll buy the entire Daxia and beco a local tyrant, then see who dares to bully my dad and sister."
However, Feng Xun just smiled wryly, today, he truly owed Lan Cai’er a big favor.
"Top-quality new Beiqing Cloud Silk, one hundred rolls, how about that?"
"Deal, for your generosity, we three won’t leave Beiqing while we are here." Lan Cai’er laughed almost losing her eyes.
She was about to step into her courtyard when suddenly she thought of sothing and turned back.
"Prince Feng, let’s make another deal. Tonight, I’ll take Little Wuya out for food and fun, giving you two so alone ti. My request isn’t high, I intend to sell Five Treasures Brew here in Beiqing."
The best at brewing Five Treasures Brew was Ye Lingyue, who after owning Drunk Immortal Inn and Immortal Restaurant, shared the brewing secrets with several masters, ensuring the quality of Five Treasures Brew remained excellent.
Lan Cai’er had always wanted to sell Five Treasures Brew in liquor-prone Beiqing but had struggled to find an opportunity.
Feng Xun’s smiling face made Lan Cai’er’s heart race, thinking, ’Brother-in-law can’t be deceived, he’s my brother-in-law after all.’
"One night isn’t enough."
Lan Cai’er suddenly realized, howling in her heart, she had forgotten that Feng Xun was also a top-grade cunning rchant.
"Sister, oh sister, I’m really not selling you out, just trying to save up for your dowry fervently."
"Okay, tonight, tomorrow, the day after, and the day after that, as far and as long as possible." Licking her lips, Lan Cai’er shalessly carried out her "selling sister project" to the end.
"I’ll have Housekeeper Mu notify the taverns under Feng Residence tomorrow." Feng Xun smiled amicably.
"Brother-in-law, you really are my true brother-in-law. It’s settled then, but rember, don’t tell Ling Yue about our deal. It’s getting late, I’m going to kidnap Little Wuya and Little Zhiyo now. I’ll leave my sister in your care." Lan Cai’er smiled brilliantly, like the wind dropping off her luggage, and like the wind kidnaping the children.
When Ye Lingyue finished tidying up and ca to look for Lan Cai’er and others, the maids inford Ye Lingyue that Eldest Miss Lan had taken the little miss to roam the city, and they wouldn’t be back for dinner tonight, asking Ye Lingyue to dine with Prince Feng.
What play is this?
Ye Lingyue had a faint feeling that sothing was amiss but couldn’t pinpoint what, feeling helpless, she had no choice but to find Feng Xun.
Feng Xun was in the study. As soon as Ye Lingyue approached the door, she heard Housekeeper Mu saying,
"Prince, tonight an welcoming banquet has been held in the palace."
