C112 (2/2)

The princess of An Kingdom was clad in a magnificent dark-gold, red-sleeved, and wide-sleeved top. Her body exuded a luxurious aura of royalty, exuding an imposing manner even though she was not angry.

The grandfather and grandson duo said in unison:

”Greetings, princess. Your highness is thousands of years old.”

”Get up.” When they heard a lazy and dignified voice, the two of them raised their heads and their mother subconsciously quickly glanced at An Guo's face. Their hearts thumped, the scars on her face had not completely disappeared, and there were even visible traces of it.

Lian Ruyue was always standing with her head down, appearing even calmer than her mother. Princess An Guo's eyes couldn't help but stay on her body for a moment.

She had seen many young mistresses of a similar background and age, but she had never seen someone as calm and steady as Lian Ruyue. From that day's feast until today, there was not a single trace of impetuosity on her body.

”Sit down.” An Guo retracted her gaze and said, then several servants brought two chairs over for Lian Rou and Lian Meng Yue to sit on.

Feng Yunzheng did not look at her, but rather looked at the book in her hands. She could faintly see that there was a person's name and even a portrait on the book. It seemed that before she came, Princess An Guo was discussing something with him.

The place he was sitting on was a screen carved with flowers. Coincidentally, sunlight was shining in, bathing his slightly cold figure in the light and immediately causing him to feel absent-minded.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, his fingers lightly and rhythmically rapped against the paper roll.

He currently had no official business and was a person of leisure. He had heard that other than doing some music, calligraphy, and painting in the mansion, he did not seem to have any great ambitions.

If it was before, Liuyue would have believed others' words, but after the feast that day, she knew that he wasn't like what she saw. He was plotting something big, and that made her look forward to it a lot.

”Princess, this old one has truly committed a heinous crime. After the banquet that day, I felt deeply uneasy. The reason why I've come here today is to seek another apology from the Princess.” As soon as his mother sat down, she kneeled down beside the chair with a regretful and uneasy expression on her face. Such a virtuous and respectable person repeatedly asking for forgiveness seemed to be sad.

Seeing this, even Ru Yue also followed suit and knelt down, saying:

”Please punish me, Princess.”

At this time, as if disturbed, Feng Yunzheng shifted his gaze away from the paper and looked at the person kneeling in front of him.

The Princess of An Country laughed, ”It seems that in the eyes of Old Madam Lian, I am indeed a man-eating demon.”

Her mother's hands tightened as a layer of sweat emerged on her back. Princess An Guo's words, what did it mean? She lowered her head even more and said, ”Princess, this old woman doesn't dare.”

”Miss Lian, what do you think? Am I a man-eating demon? ” The princess of An Kingdom asked Lian Ruyue as she cast her gaze.

She said, ”Princess always rewards and punishments are clear, Third Sister committed a grave mistake at the chrysanthemum feast, but Princess gave Third Sister a wide berth. Princess's kindness is already a blessing from the Lian Family. Grandmother sleeps and eats restlessly because she feels guilty for the princess and is afraid that the princess will feel unhappy because of her third sister. ”

Lian Ruyue's answer to Princess An Guo's question contained a trace of the innocence and sincerity of a child.

Feng Yunzheng put down his paper and smiled, ”Aunt, don't make things difficult for the madame and this child anymore.”

Princess An glanced at Feng Yunzheng and said, ”You have always ignored the chores, but today you spoke up for this child. Forget it, I won't joke with them now that you're serious about looking at the candidate I've chosen for your consort. ”Madame, please get up. The matter of the parrot is over.”

When Lian Ruyue heard this, she was slightly startled. She raised her head to look at the paper by Feng Yunzheng's hand. So it turned out that the princess of An Guo was picking out the consort for him.

On the one hand, he had already been abandoned by the Emperor and was not allowed to enter the palace, thus his future prospects were hopeless. On the other hand, he was an old friend of the crippled crown prince, and the Emperor had not abolished his position.

So, there were people who wanted to guard against him and try to rope him in to prevent him from rising up again. Right now, Princess An Guang wanted to use marriage to control him, and this marriage was at the emperor's behest. He didn't want this son anymore, but he definitely wouldn't allow this son of his to betray him one day!

Furthermore, letting him marry a wife and give birth to a child was the best way to control him. In order to confuse the emperor and princess, it wasn't bad for Feng Yunzheng to agree to this marriage.

Sensing her attentive gaze, Feng Yunzheng's hand moved towards the paper, blocking the drawing and the name of the person. It was as if he didn't want her to see it.

”Since you're here, why don't you take a look and see what the wangfei I've chosen for Yun Zheng is like.” Princess An Guo said to Lian Xiyue.

”...” ”Yes.” Lian Ruyue stood up and walked in front of Feng Yunzheng. Bowing slightly, she stretched out her hands and obediently said, ”Ninth Prince, please borrow the princess consort for a look.”

Her ten fingers were as delicate as cream, translucent and fair, and very beautiful.

Feng Yunzheng looked at her fingers as he tightened his grip on the paper. In the end, he grabbed the paper and delivered it to her palms.

”Thank you, Your Highness.” Lian Ru Yue slightly nodded her head as she opened up the paper. There were three words written on it —

Liu Yanyu.
