Father, Mother Escaped Again

Chapter 139

What?!” In the Imperial Study Room of the Ye Kingdom’s Imperial Palace, there was a shocking cry.

“What are you talking about? That group of people came for... for Li Yuan?”

Feng Tingye glanced at Yan Ran who was deathly pale and had a panicked look. Feng Tingye’s eyes had a clear ridiculing look to it: “What else? Do you think with the relations between our two countries that the two princes of the Xue Kingdom, with their ill-intentions, ran all the way here to chat with us and drink tea?”

“But they... they abandoned... they abandoned Li Yuan. Why would they come to see her at this time?” Yan Ran held the secretive gazes of the people present, his always clever tongue couldn’t move a bit!

“Abandoned?” Feng Tingye chuckled. The faint provoking gaze caused the man with a guilty conscience to change his face. He was shocked as he had also done something similar to abandonment to that girl.

Feng Tingye glanced at the changes on his face and gave Shao Zitong a wink, “Zitong, you should speak about this matter.”

Shao Zitong nodded, “Presumably you all know that Xue Country of the Four Kingdoms has the most rigorous class hierarchy. Apart from the royal family, the Xue Kingdom’s political power is still held firmly in the palm of the hands of the old Guanlong nobles, so much that the hierarchy and class status has deep-rooted itself into Xue Kingdom. The Guanlong nobles’ status is no less than the status of the Xue Kingdom’s royal family in the minds of the people, this leads to the balance of Xue Kingdom’s power. The royal family and Guanlong nobles restrict each other and govern in peace, but if one of them gives birth to some abnormalities, there will be an imbalance between the people.”

“What does this have to do with those guys coming to find the girl? She, a child discarded by the royal family, how could she mix in with the royal family and the Guanlong nobles?”

Feng Tingye hooked the corner of his lips upwards. He looked at Yan Ran’s somewhat unbearable expression, he put his cheek in one hand: “You are right, that girl has indeed mixed in, and in a very troublesome manner. Zitong.....”

“Well, the Guanlong nobles of the Xue Country have undergone a very large-scale exchange of blood recently. The governor for the Guanlong nobles has been replaced. Generally speaking, in order to maintain the harmony between the royal family and the Guanlong nobles, one person will be selected from the royal family, a woman with royal bloodline, to marry the offspring of the governor of the Guanlong noble family to ensure a strong relationship between the royal family and the nobility. But this time the only son of the governor pointed out that if he needs to get married, he would only accept that girl, otherwise...”

Shao Zitong had not yet finished when Yan Ran’s face turned pale: “In other words, they are here this time to bring Li Yuan... to return to their country for marriage?”

“That’s right...”

“No!” Shao Zitong’s words did not completely come out when Yan Ran had interrupted loudly. Instantly, everyone’s eyes were focused on him.

As if sitting on pins and needles, Yan Ran said: “Ahem, how could this be done? Since they didn’t recognize her status, they abandoned her in this foreign country. How could they want her back now just because she has a purpose? How could there be such a good thing like that, you guys...”

Feng Tingye stared at Yan Ran ambiguously for a long time. He stared at him until a shiver ran up his back. Only then did he take his gaze back leisurely and gave a struggling face: “How can we say no? No matter what, Li Yuan has the blood of the Xue Kingdom’s imperial family. Knocking on our doors in such a public manner, not handing her over, we can’t justify it.”

“You...” Yan Ran jumped on his feet, “Li Yuan is Niang Niang’s person. Niang Niang won’t let you send her away!”

Feng Tingye raised his eyebrows and sighed slightly: “Ai Fei is not an unreasonable person. Zhen will speak to her and Zhen believes that Ai Fei will take care of the situation and give priority to national affairs.”

“Just for your so-called national affairs, you have to sacrifice a weak woman? Feng Tingye, I have known you for so many years, I did not expect you to turn out to be such a person.” Yan Ran was flushed. He stared at Feng Tingye with a particularly ugly expression.

Feng Tingye hadn’t spoken yet, when Shao Zitong next to him interrupted first and sneered: “Yan Ran, I have known you for so many years and I have never seen you, because of anyone, treat us so badly. You aren’t even that girl’s anyone, why are you so stimulated?”

“I...” Yan Ran was speechless. That’s right, he was not anyone for that girl. Why is he so angry for what Feng Tingye did? Why is he standing up for her? Why is he? With what status?

Feng Tingye stared at Yan Ran’s ugly face and added one last sentence: “Since they didn’t recognize her identity and abandoned her in this foreign country, now they should not take her back? Then why did you choose to, without saying goodbye, leave her in this imperial palace? What right do you have now to speak for her and stand up for her?”

“...” Yan Ran’s heart shook, his body almost fell back.

Feng Tingye was right. In the end, what was the difference between him and those people? He had obviously hurt her but pretended not to know because of embarrassment. What qualifications did he have to blame those who have hurt her? He was obviously one of these people.

With a pale face, Yan Ran seemed to have withstood a great blow. He stepped back a few steps and said dumbly: “This minister suddenly feels a little uncomfortable, this minister will retire first.”

After speaking, no matter how many people reacted, he stumbled out of the imperial court. No matter how you look at it, he looked like he was fleeing!

“Aren’t we going too far?” Shao Zitong asked in a low voice as he watched Yan Ran’s back.

Feng Tingye picked up the tea cup on the desk, lifted the lid of the cup and blew on the tea. He calmly replied: “If you don’t use strong medicine, how can that block head be resuscitated? Even Wenzhong knows how to protect his wife, but this kid only knows how to hide from people and push people into the arms of others. How can he keep it in his brain if we don’t give him a lesson?”

Feng Tingye frowned as he spoke. It was as if because of his lacking friend, he had lost face. He couldn’t help but snort in his heart: Li Yuan was currently the big Ya Tou next to his Ai Fei. If Yan Ran messes up this time, let’s see if he doesn’t send him to the deep mountains and forests to be with those wild beasts!

After listening to Feng Tingye’s words, Shao Zitong’s sympathy for Yan Ran was instantly lost to the clouds. He turned to look at Leng Ruofeng, who had not spoken on the side, and smiled: “Let’s stop talking about that defeated kid. Instead, I hear that Ruofeng’s house has also been very lively these days. Everyday, its rumoured that a touch of red could be seen coming in and out of the house, it seems...”

Shao Zitong hadn’t finished speaking, when Leng Ruofeng’s icy eyes projected over with the cold wind. The cold air kept rolling in the entire imperial study room. In the end only one sentence came out: “This minister has important things to do and will leave first.”

“...”

“...”

The two in the room looked at Leng Ruofeng silently as he left the Imperial Study Room freezing. After a long while, they glanced at each other and couldn’t help laughing.

The sudden arrival of the envoy of the Xue Country made Xiefang palace once again enter a state of panic similar to when Huo Feiyan arrived last time.

At midnight, the entire palace was dark without any lights. Suddenly, a small and beautiful face appeared on the big night pearl.

Seeing such a face in the middle of the night should make people feel shocked, but because of the fuming expression on this face, it made people not feel shocked. On the contrary, they had to restrain themselves from laughing.

“This time, the person who came to visit is from Xue Country. Moreover, it is Xiao Yuan’s royal brother. Ah, no, that kind of scum, he is not worthy of having Xiao Yuan call him royal brother! Humph, do you remember how pitiful Xiao Yuan was when she just arrived? Before she didn’t receive love from her father or brothers, but now when her days are finally getting better, they want to come here to cause trouble? Yes, cause trouble, they must have came here to cause trouble. They must be uneasy seeing Xiao Yuan’s life getting better and came here to add to her troubles. So, as Xiao Yuan’s family, we must unite and work together to fight against her enemies!”

Xia Yuqing waved the book that was rolled up into a weapon. She stepped on the table and spoke impassionedly. Her second baby who hung around her neck giggled, even the people gathered around couldn’t help but laugh.

“What are you laughing about? This is serious, it’s no laughing matter!” Xia Yuqing swung the booklet in her hand to crack the tabletop.

The crowd hurriedly stopped their smiles and sat down in a hurry. Suddenly, one of them raised their hand tremblingly, asking in a low voice: “Niang Niang, then what should we do?”

Xia Yuqing followed the sound and exclaimed, “Why are you here, Xiao Shunzi?”

When Xiao Shunzi heard Xia Yuqing’s question, he raised his head and said with high spirits: “This servant heard that Niang Niang is worrying about the affairs of Li Yuan Jiejie. Although this servant is not a person from Xiefang palace, this servant is part of Qianqing palace. The emperor and the empress is one family, so the people who work for Xiefang and Qianqing palace are naturally also one family. Since Li Yuan Jiejie is in trouble, how can Nu Cai stay out of the matter? So...this Nu Cai will follow.”

Xia Yuqing stared at Xiao Shunzi with dazzling eyes. She said in agreement: “Yes, not bad, worthy of being a person next to the emperor. Youths really can be taught.”

“Oh oh...” The second baby also waved her little paw twice when she heard the words. She seemed to agree with Xia Yuqing’s words.

“You think so too, you deserve to be my dear girl. Come, let mother give you a kiss~”

“...”

“Ahem, Niang Niang, let’s get back to business. The thing that Xiao Shunzi asked just now...”

“Oh, right, right, back to business, back to business. How to do it?” Xia Yuqing touched her chin and groaned. Her eyes suddenly lit up. She said loudly: “Yes, you guys can go to the imperial physicians to get some drugs. We can take advantage of it being the middle of the night to stun them and then put them in a sack and beat them up!”

“...” Niang Niang, this method sounds like a despicable trick that those despicable market rogues who are no match for their opponents would do! Wouldn’t it be a problem using these methods to entertain foreign envoys?

Just when everyone didn’t know how to respond to Xia Yuqing, they suddenly heard a low laughter behind them.

Xia Yuqing was shocked, and shouted: “Where is this evildoer, why pretend to be a ghost? If you have the ability to fight with this grandma for three hundred rounds, this grandma will let you know why flowers are red!”

“Oh hu hu...” The second baby in Xia Yuqing’s arms seemed to feel the tension of her mother, her round face sank. She waved her small fist and made some unknown sounds at the black shadow not far away. That sincere face of the little bun was really...too cute!

Not only did the low laughter not stop, but it actually increased: “Zhen doesn’t know why the flower is so red, but I know that if Ai Fei’s knockout drugs are given, the two Xue princes may not even see the sun rising tomorrow.”

Everyone listened. At this sound, they were stunned, and they hurriedly dispersed. Lighting the lamp, they knelt down: “Nu Cai (Nu Bi), greets the emperor.”

Xia Yuqing looked at Feng Tingye’s face illuminated by the lights and laughed dryly. She threw away the book in her hand, holding second baby, she greeted him: “Why did His Majesty come here at this time?”

Feng Tingye stared at Xia Yuqing’s guilty little eyes and couldn’t help but smile: “If Zhen didn’t come, I’m afraid that the harem will be turned upside down tomorrow morning !”

“Wh...at an exaggeration, isn’t it just putting two men to death?”

Feng Tingye smiled helplessly. He glanced at the people kneeling: “Dismissed.”

“Yes.”

After everyone had left, Feng Tingye stepped forward and grabbed Xia Yuqing’s waist: “Zhen has something to discuss with Ai Fei.”

“...What’s the matter?” Did the Ultra Seme Lord take the wrong medicine? Why does he suddenly want to discuss things with herself? Doesn’t he usually ask the Da Rens to discuss things?

“It’s about the envoys of Xue Country this time, Zhen hopes...” Feng Tingye whispered into Xia Yuqing’s ear.

Xia Yuqing exclaimed: “What?! You’re telling me not to interfere in their affairs with Xiao Yuan? How can this be? I don’t want to watch Xiao Yuan be bullied!”

“Zhen promises you, Zhen will not let your Xiao Yuan to be bullied! And...” Feng Tingye smiled and whispered in Xia Yuqing’s ear again.

The anger on Xia Yuqing’s face gradually dissipated, then it turned into a smile little by little. She nodded her head, and finally let out a terrifying laugh.

The people outside the hall who were eavesdropping in the corner looked at each other. They all felt a chill behind them, and began to sympathize with the two clueless Xue Kingdom princes who lived in the post house.

In the evening of the next day, Feng Tingye personally held a reception banquet to entertain these guests from afar. What Xia Yuqing never thought would happen was that before the banquet could even start, some people actually came actively asking for trouble.

“Miss, which eldest miss are you? How could you be enjoying a cup of wine by yourself? If you don’t mind, would you like to sit over and have a few drinks with this prince?” Xia Yuqing heard this as soon as she stepped into the gates of the Royal Garden. She was taken aback for a while. Following the sound, she faced two people.

“That man is...” Xia Yuqing asked in a low voice, pointing to the man who was facing away from them not far away.

Li Yuan craned her neck and glanced over: “Qing Jiejie, that should be Ninth Royal Brother. Ninth Royal Brother likes to hang around the red-light district. I hear that he already has five or six rooms for his concubines. He likes to womanize and frequent brothels everywhere he goes. He probably saw a girl he liked and is in the midst of harassing them.”

“What a scum!” Xia Yuqing exclaimed. If she hadn’t remembered the agreement with Feng Tingye in her heart, she would have destroyed this pervert a long time ago. Daring to covet the beautiful, lovely ladies of our palace, do you want to die?

Xia Yuqing leaned forward to look at the girl who was completely blocked by him and was being bothered. After adjusting a few times, the ninth prince moved sideways, and the position he moved away from suddenly revealed the beauty.

“!” Xia Yuqing was stunned for a few seconds. She suddenly sighed, and looked up at the sky.

It’s not that I didn’t abide by the agreement this time, it’s really that this prince is too unlucky. Out of everyone he can molest, he actually dared to molest Third Royal Sister, my hot spicy queen, isn’t this...looking for death? !

Xia Muyun had chased Leng Ruofeng all the way here. As the saying goes, a strong woman will be scared of a persistent man*. She didn’t believe that if she tried hard enough, persisting everyday, that her active volcano won’t melt this dead iceberg.

* speaking of girls who give in after a persistent man chases them; other way around for this situation

With this lofty ambition, Xia Muyun went to report to the Leng Mansion every day. She had first gone to capture Leng Ruofeng’s parents, gaining the goodwill of the people in Leng Ruofeng’s mansion. However, Leng Ruofeng, her main target, has always been neither cold or hot, it really made her anxious.

Today, hearing that Leng Ruofeng entered the palace to participate in a banquet, Xia Muyun followed him, but she didn’t expect that as soon as she was seated, she would be caught by this seemingly sharp-mouthed monkey. At first sight, she could tell he was not a good person.

“Miss, since you’re not speaking, are you mute??”

Xia Muyun’s face slightly sank: “You’re mute, you and your family are mute, this ...... this lady is none of your business.”

If she was not aware that Leng RuoFeng was close by, Xia Muyun would have drawn her whip early on.

“Oh, I didn’t expect this lady to have such a strong temper. This prince likes your strong temper, Little Pepper Beauty...”

“...” Ninth Prince, a little pepper is not something everyone can tolerate, be careful you might catch on fire. Xia Yuqing looked embarrassed as the Ninth Prince rushed towards death.

“I think you are looking for death...” Xia Muyun was already holding back her fire, but this guy still leaned in front of her recklessly, making her a little annoyed. This was especially the case when someone’s salty pig hands were about to stretch out towards her. Xia Muyun couldn’t hold back after all. She pulled out the whip from her waist and lashed out directly to the back of the Ninth Prince’s hand.

“Ahhhhh...you dare to hit this prince, do you know who this prince is?” The Ninth Prince screamed, holding his hand from which a red mark had been drawn and shouted at Xia Muyun.

Xia Muyun sneered. She drew another whip at Yin Jie. Although she didn’t whip the opponent, she still made Yin Jie let out an exclamation, and take a few steps back with lingering fears.

Xia Muyun looked at his trembling figure and she became more disdainful: “This aunt does not know who you are, but this aunt knows that if you dare to approach this aunt a step closer, this aunt will beat you so hard that even your mother won’t recognize you!”

“Rebelling? A pretty little prostitute here dares to treat this prince like this? This prince must speak to the emperor of your country and let him take a good look at this vulgar hospitality of your Ye people!”

“Who did you call a little prostitute...” Xia Muyun’s face changed slightly. She raised the whip in her hand to lash out, but she didn’t expect someone to move faster than her.

Everyone only heard a long scream. They were stunned for a moment. When they looked again, the Ninth Prince had been nailed to his own table by a few slender bamboo chopsticks. His eyes widened and looked at the two bamboo chopsticks a few millimeters away from his face.

“Ninth Brother!” Before everyone recovered from the shock, they heard an exclamation not far away. Not long after, they saw someone rushing from the door to the ninth prince’s side like a whirlwind, helping him take the bamboo chopsticks off.

“That’s...” Xia Yuqing glanced at the troubled stranger and asked.

Li Yuan thought for a while, and replied: “It should be fifth royal Brother, Yin Ming. He and Ninth Royal Brother are from the same line.”

“Oh, the people are almost all complete.”

“You!” Yin Jie, helped by Yin Ming, sat up from the table and looked at Leng Ruofeng who had just shot out.

Xia Muyun also turned her head to look around, with obvious expectations in her eyes.

Leng Ruofeng replied calmly: “My hands slipped.”

“...” Was it just a slip of your hands? This was a disappointed Xia Muyun.

“...” Iceberg Prime Minister, do you think anyone would believe that? This is Xia Yuqing who was once again caught up by Leng Ruofeng’s unexpected words.

“...” Slip of your hands? Are you f**king kidding me? This was Yin Jie who became more and more angry from hearing Leng Ruofeng’s words.

Shao Zitong was calmly tasting the wine in his glass, his eyes met Leng Ruofeng’s. Just now he saw the two chopsticks that flew out when the Ninth Prince was about to touch Xia Muyun. He couldn’t help but hook his lips upwards.

“Zhen was just late for a little bit and the Royal Garden has become so lively. It seems that the two princes are getting along with everyone in my court very happily.” Feng Tingye’s voice was inserted forcefully before the atmosphere on the scene was about to become uncontrollable.

In an instant, everyone’s eyes shifted to Feng Tingye’s body.

When both Yin Jie and Yin Ming saw Feng Tingye appear, instead of being nervous, they showed a smug expression, as if to say...you guys are dead.

Xia Yuqing looked at the sky for a while. Please, Ultra Seme Lord is on our side, okay. Why do you have those expressions on as if you found your backer?! Sure enough, there are so many m*rons in this world!

“King Ye came just at the right moment. This prince’s ninth brother has only been in Ye Kingdom’s imperial palace for only a moment, when he was unreasonably confronted by your Ye Kingdom officials with swords. Is this the way of your Ye Kingdom’s hospitality? If this is the case, this prince has really learned something today!”

“!” The fifth prince of the Xue Country actually complained first! Xia Yuqing hummed and walked towards Feng Tingye.

Feng Tingye smiled when he heard Yin Ming’s reprimand: “Is there some misunderstanding by the fifth prince? I must correct the fifth prince. First of all, my prime minister did not face the fifth prince with a sword, he just slipped with his chopsticks....”

“......” Your Majesty, you, you... are you still awake? If you say that, you will definitely be spit on!

Yin Ming was stunned, he shouted with a face full of anger: “Do you think we would believe that?”

Feng Tingye smiled indifferently: “It doesn’t matter whether the fifth prince believes it or not, this is the case. The only thing that hurt the ninth prince was a pair of chopsticks. If this is spread, which person won’t think it’s just a small accident? Or does the fifth prince hope to hear rumors that the ninth prince was injured with a few chopsticks in the mouth of the ye people in the country tomorrow? ”

The fifth prince’s face slightly changed. As Feng Tingye said, if the dignified ninth prince of Xue Country was injured by a few chopsticks, what face would they have left?

Seeing Yin Ming’s face begin to show some hesitation, Yin Jie’s face changed slightly. He stepped forward with a sneer: “Do you think everything will be settled like this? Please look King Ye, the hand of this prince has been injured. The third day after arriving in Ye Kingdom and the ninth prince of Xue Country has been injured like this. If Ye Kingdom doesn’t give us an explanation, how can you justify it?”

Xia Yuqing heard Yin Jie’s words and her expression suddenly changed to this: “......”

Nowadays after evil tyrants m*lest a girl and are hit in retaliation, they would still act like this? This has really opened my eyes.

Feng Tingye didn’t pay attention to Yin Jie’s threatening words. He raised his eyebrows: “This is the second mistake I am to correct the fifth prince. Just now, the fifth prince said that the ninth prince was in the palace of Ye Kingdom and was injured by a sword for no reason. I think the fifth prince only knows one thing and not the other. Just now, I clearly saw, with my own eyes, that it was the ninth prince who first spoke to tease our Madam Prime Minister. Madam Prime Minister and the prime minister have deep affection, so he couldn’t bear it and fought back for his reputation.”

“!” When Feng Tingye said this, everyone on the scene looked at him.

“...” Madam Prime Minister? It turns out that the woman in red just now was the Prime Minister’s wife, no wonder she was able to sit next to the Prime Minister. Then when she was molested by the ninth prince just now, she was able to attract the Prime Minister to take action! This is a group of onlookers who didn’t know the truth.

“...” Madam Prime Minister? When did the third princess become the prime minister’s wife? Did the third princess successfully melt the iceberg and made a pledge to get married!? This is a group of insiders who knew the truth, thus can’t help but start to brainstorm.

“...” So, the Ultra Seme Lord is being a black belly again! Just now you were clearly in the imperial garden, but just didn’t want to show up and was waiting to watch a good show! This is the only person with insight of the scene, Xia Yuqing who was full of resentment.

“...” These are the two parties who no longer knew what to say.

Yin Jie did not expect that his actions just now would have fallen into the eyes of the Emperor of the Ye Kingdom. He was accustomed to being a bully in Xue Kingdom. He didn’t know that he would be shamed as soon as he arrived in Ye Kingdom. After rebutting a few words, he suddenly heard a clear and cheerful voice from outside the Royal Garden: “Enough, isn’t it shameful enough?”

Xia Yuqing and the others were taken aback for a moment. Who was so courageous to yell at the two princes of the Xue country like this? I have never heard of such a powerful person among the envoys visiting Xue Country this time!

However, the fact is that when they heard this voice, the two princes who had some criticisms turned pale. They both fell silent.

At this moment, everyone became more and more curious. Who is this man who just spoke?

The man who stepped into the imperial garden was dressed in plain white clothes, with picturesque eyebrows and a personable demeanor. He had an aura of a scholarly man. A gentle smile hung on the face of this handsome man. Just one glance from him could make people feel good inside.

Since transmigrating, Xia Yuqing had seen many beautiful men so far, but from the first glance of this young man, she couldn’t help but want to compliment: “Beautiful boy, beautiful boy, what a gentle and elegant young man!”

The boy walked to Feng Tingye with a slight chuckle: “The two princes had just arrived and do not understand the etiquette, please forgive them Ye Emperor.”

Feng Tingye was silent. He stared at the man and slightly narrowed his eyes: “You are ......”

The young man was slightly stunned, but the smile on his face was still impeccable: “This humble man is Yin Xiang, the eldest son of the Yin clan. It is a blessing to meet King Ye.”

Yin Xiang...isn’t it the only son of the ruler of Guanlong nobles who is preparing to marry Li Yuan? Unexpectedly, he came here with Yin Jie! No wonder the two of them fell silent when they heard his voice. It seems that this so-called eldest son of the Yin family is not so simple!

If Feng Tingye had turned his head to look at Yan Ran behind him right now, he would have seen him staring at Yin Xiang with a gloomy expression, his gaze seemed to wish he would disappear out of thin air!

“It turned out to be Young Master Yin. It is my honour. Since Young Master Yin said so, I will naturally not worry about it. It is getting late, so let’s take a seat first.”

So, because of the appearance of Yin Xiang, the little warm-up storm for this banquet passed through without any problem.

As soon as Xia Yuqing sat next to Feng Tingye, she couldn’t wait to ask the identity of Yin Xiang: “Your Majesty, that Yin Xiang...”

“He is the man who wants to marry Li Yuan.”

“What?!” Xia Yuqing cried out, and hurried to cover her mouth, “He actually came here?! Now what should we do?”

“Isn’t it better to come here? With him here stimulating things, a certain person will likely understand what he needs to do.”

Xia Yuqing was slightly taken aback, then her eyes lit up. A beautiful smile appeared on her face.

After everyone took their seats, they exchanged a few polite greetings. Yin Ming opened the door to explain his intentions: “Your Majesty, King Ye, it is true that this prince, Ninth Brother and Yin Gongzi came here together for our little royal sister.”

Standing behind Xia Yuqing, Li Yuan shook when she heard the words. She unconsciously clasped her hands.

Feng Tingye raised his eyebrows: “Little Royal Sister of the Fifth Prince? Isn’t that the little princess of Xue Country? Why don’t I know that Ye Country has such a noble princess? Ai Fei, do you know?”

Xia Yuqing after receiving Feng Tingye’s question made a surprised expression: “Huh? The little princess of Xue Country? Chen Qie was ill informed and has never heard of this person.”

“So, Fifth Prince, could it be a mistake? We don’t seem to have the person you want.”

Xia Yuqing and Feng Tingye pretending to be silly made Yin Ming feel a little uncomfortable, but when he thought of the current situation, he still insisted. “Oh, this cannot be blamed on King Ye and the empress. This prince’s royal sister was too naughty and ran away from royal father behind his back. After staying in Ye country for so long, she has been taken care of by the empress. We are really embarrassed and sorry. Li Yuan, why don’t you hurry over here.”

“Li Yuan? Oh, you mean Xiao Yuan.” Xia Yuqing made an expression of sudden realization, but soon became a little tangled again. “That’s not right, when the emperor sent a letter to Xue King, the Xue King clearly said that Xiao Yuan had nothing to do with him, and let us take care of her. Why is it that at this time, Xiao Yuan is the little princess of your Xue Country?”

As soon as Xia Yuqing said this, Yin Xiang’s hand paused. The eyes of both Yin Ming and Yin Xiang suddenly became slightly cold.

Yin Ming’s face became more ugly. He took a deep breath and said: “There are some misunderstandings in this. This prince will explain to King Ye and the Empress in the future. This time, we are here to take Li Yuan back. I don’t know...”

Xia Yuqing pretended to have a very awkward expression: “Oh, Ben Gong has been with Xiao Yuan for so long. It would be a lie to say that I have no feelings. However, since the fifth prince has said so, it would be no good if Ben Gong held Xiao Yuan back like this. Ben Gong will let Xiao Yuan decide for herself. If Xiao Yuan is willing to follow you, Ben Gong will not stop her.”

Yin Ming was overjoyed. He just wanted to say something to thank Xia Yuqing, when he suddenly heard Li Yuan, who was behind Xia Yuqing, reply calmly: “I won’t go with them.”

“What did you say?” Hearing what Li Yuan said, the smile on Yin Ming’s face suddenly stiffened. Yin Jie jumped up and shouted at Li Yuan: “You have no choice. A princess who is a maid in such a place, have you become addicted to it? You have lost face for the royal family of Xue Country.”

As Yin Ming said this, many people’s faces changed, but Li Yuan’s face was still straight. She sneered: “Xue Kingdom? How does my behavior have anything to do with Xue Kingdom’s royal family? Yin Jie, don’t forget, your surname is Yin, and my surname is... Li! I have nothing to do with you, so why do I have to go with you?!”

“You little b**ch!”

“...” Who is a little b**ch, you are a b**ch, your whole family is a b**ch! Xia Yuqing’s expression changed. She thought of venting out for her own little rice ball when she rolled her sleeves, but was stopped by Feng Tingye.

At the same time, Yin Jie who wanted to be rough was also grabbed by Yin Xiang next to him. He gave him a warning glance. He turned to look at the calm and mocking Li Yuan, and whispered: “Xiao Yuanzi...”

“...” Xiao Yuanzi? Huh, if she is Xiao Yuanzi then I am Chibi Maruko-chan*! Xia Yuqing rolled her eyes at Yin Xiang and turned to look at Li Yuan. She didn’t expect that after hearing this name, Li Yuan’s face suddenly changed, her eyes widened: “What did you call me? .....Xiang Gege?”

* anime character but also sounds similar in chinese

“!” Xiao Yuanzi! Xiang Gege! What is this? Xiao Yuan knows this person?! F**k, what’s the situation now?! It’s fine if it is a reunion between relatives, but is it possible that this is a reunion of old lovers? ! What about the Gorgeous Tutor? !
