Chapter 600 - Destroying Danger in Obscurity (1/2)

When King Yan, Feng Yulei, appeared in the main hall, Princess Caifeng felt disinterested after a glance.

It was not that Feng Yulei was not good-looking. The princes of the royal family were all tall and had outstanding looks. However, there was one of them too handsome. Then the others would appear relatively ordinary and had become the most handsome one’s foil. This made Princess Caifeng pay even more attention to Feng Yuran who was seated amongst them. She felt that he was handsome beyond compare with his every gesture. When she thought that she would be able to stay with him for the rest of her life if she married him in the future, her heart beat wildly and she flushed shyly.

King Yan had appeared in the hall thanks to Princess Caifeng. As such, everyone’s gaze had been focused on the two of them since King Yan entered the hall. Princess Caifeng had affection in her eyes, it was obvious that they were in love. Princess Caifeng was a bold person; she had dared to ask about a man in front of everyone in the hall.

Now when she saw this man, she blushed for no reason, which had already explained it.

Could it be that there had long been an agreement between the Southern Barbarian Lands and King Yan? Some people frowned when they saw this, but they did not know that they had completely misunderstood the two people.

“Congratulations, Third brother.” Feng Yuxuan was the first to say, beaming at Feng Yulei.

“Third brother, sit down. Have a rest. Is your hand better?” Feng Yuzhen pulled a chair for Feng Yulei in person and asked with concern. It was a banquet, and Feng Yulei’s hand was not tied. It was a little inconvenient and his hand hung on the side.

“Third brother! You have to thank to the beauty.” Feng Yuran winked at him, gesturing for him to look at the other side. Feng Yulei spontaneously looked over there. He met Princess Caifeng’s shy gaze. A gentle and elegant smile appeared on his lips as he gestured at Princess Caifeng with a smile.

Princess Caifeng paused for a moment. She thought that the man had come out because of her and owed her a favor. She smiled kindly. If anything happened in the future, she could ask him for help.

When others saw their interactions, they thought that they were in love with each other. Even You Yue’e, who was sitting by the side, felt jealous. Even though she knew the result, she could not help grabbing her handkerchief under the table. Her eyes were slightly red.

“Third sister-in-law, Third brother is looking at you!” The Sixth Princess pushed You Yue’e and said in a soft voice.

You Yue’e looked up and saw Feng Yulei’s gentle eyes on her. She felt so sad that she almost covered her mouth with her handkerchief and burst into tears.

“Third sister-in-law, don’t cry. It’s good for Third brother to be released. Don’t cry.” The Sixth Princess felt her slightly trembled body and knew that she was excited. She reached out to pull her and said warmly.

This reminded You Yue’e and she suppressed the excitement in her heart, lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes with her handkerchief. She said softly to the Sixth Princess, “Many thanks, Sixth Princess. I will definitely find a set of head accessory and send it over when I return to my manor.”

She had not brought any head accessories or jewelry with her when she entered the palace in a rush today. When she came out of the bathroom and had only taken a few steps, she met the Sixth Princess. The latter said that Princess Caifeng did not like her clothes, so she had not changed her clothes yet. You Yue’e wanted to give her a set of head accessory, but she did not have any with her. As such, she borrowed a set from the Sixth Princess. The Sixth Princess had asked someone to bring it over generously.

“Third sister-in-law, you don’t have to be so polite to me. It’s just a set of head accessory. It’s not worth mentioning.” The Sixth Princess said softly. She glanced at Princess Caifeng who was not paying attention to them and there was a flash of disdain in her eyes. As a princess who had been behaving politely, she did not like the shameless behavior of Princess Caifeng. As a princess, it was against etiquette to ask about a man in front of so many people.

Even though this was what she wanted, when she thought that Princess Caifeng was also a princess and did not know if others would look down on her because of this, the Sixth Princess felt a little upset. However, she hid that hint of emotion behind her beautiful eyes.

“Sixth Princess, thank you so much.” You Yue’e could sense the sincerity in the Sixth Princess’ voice. She was so touched that she could not say anything. She had been locked up in King Yan’s Manor recently and could only move in the manor. Even though King Yan’s Manor was large, no matter how large it was, how could she not be tired of being locked up there every day?

Since she entered the palace today, the eunuchs and palace maids who used to see her bowing and nodding respectfully all looked lazy and frivolous. You Yue’e knew that even the servants in the palace looked down on her because King Yan had been grounded again and again. However, the Sixth Princess was always kind to her. How could You Yue’e not be moved?

“Third sister-in-law, stop being moved. Third brother has cast a few glances at us. He might be thinking that I bullied you. You mustn’t make me get scolded by Third brother.” The Sixth Princess smiled warmly and shook You Yue’e’s hand. You Yue’e could not help smiling. She looked at the men’s seats and saw Feng Yulei looking away.

“See, Third brother was looking at you, wasn’t he?” The Sixth Princess teased in a low voice.

You Yue’e patted her hand and intentionally ignored her words. “I have a set of beautiful head accessory that was given to me by Mother in the past. I will get someone to send it to you later. It isn’t returning to you; consider it my gifts of grat.i.tude. If not for your head accessory, Princess Caifeng wouldn’t be able to remember who His Highness is.”

It would be embarra.s.sing if the Sixth Princess refused again when You Yue’e said that. She thought about it and agreed happily.

Feng Yuran left first before the banquet ended. He had already told Emperor Zongwen that he wanted to bring Mo Xuetong home. As such, he left the main hall and headed to Consort Xian’s Anhe Palace. Mo Xuetong had taken a nap and only woke up now. However, she was too lazy to get up. When she heard the sounds of the doors moving, she turned around and saw Feng Yuran smiling gently.

She didn’t get up with her hair scattered, but sat up and leaned against the pillow.

Feng Yuran leaned his handsome face closer and was about to kiss her when she pushed him away with her hand. She said coyly, “No, you drank a lot alcohol!”
