C23 The Little Empress was going to leave the palace!

"That's it?" Fine, fine. Yu Lan and Chunhe also want to leave the palace with me." Chu Linglang pointed at Feng Xuan.

"Sure."

"Then what about a gentleman's word?"

"It is hard to chase after a horse." Feng Xuan cooperated with her and said. He thought that this Chu Linglang was usually very smart, but she was sleeping stupidly.

"You two, are you done yet? I'm hungry." Feng Hua came to find them to eat.

The three of them looked at the food on the table and became restless. Feng Xuan ordered someone to make six dishes. He knew that Chu Linglang did not like extravagance, so he made two dishes that the three of them loved to eat.

Chu Linglang suddenly realized, "Pfft, that's not right! Chunhe, I clearly don't want to make this!"

Chunhe used her chin to compare with the emperor, "This is ordered by the emperor."

Chu Linglang was very surprised that he actually knew what she loved to eat.

Feng Hua was dissatisfied, "Aiya, Royal Brother, there are only two dishes that I love to eat. You are too biased. I just came back, but you only made two dishes that I love to eat."

"What did you eat for lunch? With your picky taste, you can eat anything."

Feng Hua deliberately picked the dishes that Chu Linglang loved to eat, thinking that she could show off. However, Chu Linglang did not eat that. She picked up every dish and thought that this princess was even more childish than her. However, she was her stepmother, so she let her eat a little. She had to send the two pests away. Just like that, the three of them ate all the food.

After eating, Feng Hua shouted to Chunhe, "Go and get some fruits for me."

Seeing that, Chu Linglang had no intention of leaving, so she said, "I just finished eating. It's not good to eat fruits. This way, you can go back to your palace and digest it. It's not bad to eat some fruits."

"Yo! Little Empress Dowager, are you trying to chase me away?" Feng Hua asked back.

"Hehehe, the princess really knows how to joke. My Millet Palace welcomes you! How can I chase you away? Besides, I live alone in this huge palace. It's rare to be lively!" Chu Linglang smiled awkwardly.

"Really? Are you telling the truth?"

"Of course." As she spoke, Chu Linglang drank some water to moisten her throat. She had been tortured by these two siblings for the entire day.

"Alright then! It's not interesting for me to live in the Millet Palace. Then I'll move in with you!"

The water that Chu Linglang drank just now spurted out. She thought to herself that this girl was not serious! She was still in her prime, yet she wanted to live comfortably! If she wanted to move in, she would have to wrinkle her face.

"If you move in now, you won't be seen by others. Have you forgotten about Du Yutong? Didn't you want to help her lose weight?" Chu Linglang tried to smooth things over.

"Now that you mention it, it seems like there is such a thing. Then it's fine. When she succeeds in losing weight, I won't be in a hurry to move in."

Feng Xuan was focused on reading. "Chunhe, pour me some tea."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Why is Your Highness so free today?" Chu Linglang asked while gritting her teeth.

"Well, it's nothing serious. I have been busy these few days. Today, when Feng Hua came back, I let go of all the things on my hands and focused on accompanying her."

Chu Linglang thought to herself, 'How could I focus on accompanying her?' This was a combination of two people torturing her.

"Why? Is something wrong with Mother?" Feng Xuan raised his head and asked.

Chu Linglang forced a smile and said, "It's nothing. Didn't you tell me to leave the palace tomorrow? Then how do I get out?"

"Oh, that's it! Didn't I give you a token last time? Just take that." Feng Xuan lowered his head and continued reading.

Chu Linglang thought that she had been tricked. Feng Xuan was really cunning. However, it was not good for Feng Hua to say anything.

"Pfft, Little Empress Dowager, are you going to leave the palace? Bring me along!" Feng Hua said while eating the fruit.

"Alright! I only left the palace because your Emperor Brother agreed. He agreed to let you go out, so I have no objections." Chu Linglang thought that Feng Xuan would not let her go out when Feng Hua just came back. Haha, this unruly princess could not be tolerated by Feng Xuan.

Chu Linglang looked at Feng Xuan complacently. Feng Hua looked at Feng Xuan with anticipation. She had just said "Your Emperor Brother."

"Alright! Tomorrow, you will leave the palace with Mother." Feng Xuan gave Chu Linglang a big smile.

Chu Linglang's expression changed. Wasn't this like lifting a rock to smash her own feet?

"Alright, I'll be going out the moment the palace gates open tomorrow. It's getting late, so you guys can go back first!" Chu Linglang said as she yawned and pushed the two of them out.

She thought that she could finally rest. She didn't believe that Feng He would wake up so early tomorrow. At most, she would just go out of the palace and eat breakfast first!

"Look at our Little Empress's temper. She pushed us out the door just because of a disagreement, and she's even more domineering than me." Feng Hua muttered to Feng Xuan unwillingly.

"You're really going out of the palace so early tomorrow?"

"Of course. Didn't you see that the Little Empress didn't want me to follow her? I won't let her get away with it. Brother Emperor, I won't leave you here. Why don't you go sit with my sister for a while?"

"No, I have to go back." Feng Xuan said goodbye to Feng He.

Feng He walked around the palace. When the servants saw her, they all hurriedly greeted her and left.

Feng He wondered what was going on. Why did she act like she was sick when she saw me? I just happened to meet two maids. Feng He waved her hand and said, "Ah, come here. Tell me why you're so nervous when you see me."

The two maids trembled and said, "No, no! It's just that it's getting dark and the road is slippery. I have to go back early."

"Tell me quickly. If you don't, I'll pull out your tongues and make you two unable to speak again." Feng He threatened.

"No, no, don't! I said that the rumors in the palace say that after Imperial Consort Mei died, her soul was attached to your body. That's why you treat me like this. Especially when you see me at night, you have to take a detour."

When Feng Hua heard this, she said, "Bullshit, I am the princess. What does it have to do with my mother? Could it be that your mother was killed by you? Why are you so afraid?"

The two maidservants were so scared that they almost wet their pants. They quickly said, "No, Your Royal Highness, I don't know anything. Please let me go! I still need to take care of my grandma!"

Feng Hua frowned and shouted, "Hurry up and get lost!" As she spoke, she grimaced.

When the maidservants heard this, they scrambled away and disappeared.

Feng Hua returned to the imperial palace and Du Yutong was waiting for her.

"Why haven't you returned yet?" Feng Hua said unhappily. She was annoyed that she had made so many mistakes on this day.

"I'm waiting for you. If you don't come back, I won't dare to leave," Du Yutong said carefully.

"Why are you waiting for me? Go! Oh, right, you have been accepted. As for when you will take office, the empress dowager hasn't said anything yet."

Yutong was overjoyed. "Thank you, Your Royal Highness. You are the kindest princess I've ever seen."

Feng Hua was amused. "Why have you seen other princesses? I am the only princess in Xiliang Country."

Yutong shook her head and said, "No, I've seen one princess. However, I've seen countless princesses in my mind. Their lives are so beautiful, and they don't know the pain and suffering of the human world." Yutong said in admiration.

Feng Hua thought to herself, What a silly girl. She imagined a fairy, not a human.

"Don't be happy too early. You need to lose weight before you can take over."

Du Yutong asked curiously, "Lose weight? I dream of losing weight and wearing nice clothes so that I won't be pointed at by others. But I've tried so many methods, and none of them worked."

Feng Hua felt sorry for her from the bottom of her heart, so she said, "Don't you have me now? Let's try again!"

Du Yutong's eyes widened as she looked at Feng Hua with anticipation, "Could it be that you have a way?"

"I do, but I don't know if it will work. Let's try! Go home tomorrow and tell your family that you can stay here for this period of time!"

Du Yutong nodded obediently.

Feng Hua thought for a long time before she asked, "That, aren't you afraid of me?"

Du Yutong shook her head sincerely, "I'm not afraid. You're so good to me, and I can't even be close to you. Why would I be afraid of you? Did you encounter any problems? Don't mind what others think. My mother always says that good people will be rewarded. Now, you are my good reward. Besides my mother, you are the best person to me." Du Yutong rarely said so much.

Feng Hua also rarely heard such a confession, so she was a little embarrassed. She said, "Go and rest early! I'll get someone to prepare a guest room for you."

"Lihua, take Yutong to rest."

"Yes, Her Royal Highness."

"By the way, Yutong forgot to ask you. Have you eaten dinner tonight?"

"I've used it. Sister Lihua prepared dinner for me. The food in Millet Palace is delicious!" Yutong said excitedly.

"That's good. You can go!"

After Yutong left, Feng Hua thought that she must have gone crazy. She would ask her this kind of question. She was also full from eating, so why would she care about their opinions? No matter what, she was the princess of Xiliang Country. So what if they were afraid of her?

After a few days of travel, she was tired. Today, she was busy for another day. Feng Hua had already laid down on the bed early. Just as she closed her eyes, she remembered that the empress dowager would leave the palace tomorrow morning. She had to call for her.

"Lizhu, wake up early tomorrow morning. Wake me up at midnight." Feng Hua shouted.

"Princess, is there something urgent? Why are you so early?" Lizhu thought that the princess would wake up early every day. Usually, she would be called by her senior and junior sisters to wake her up. Today, she actually took the initiative to wake up early. Was she stimulated?

Feng Hua nodded her head mechanically. She was too tired, so she didn't want to say anything more.

Chu Linglang told Yulan and Chunhe to rest early. Once the palace gate opened tomorrow morning, they would leave the palace. The three of them were very excited and laid down on the bed to sleep early.

When the bell rang three times, Lizhu and Chunhe shouted for the princess to wake up. First, she whispered to the princess, "Princess, you're up." When she saw that Feng Hua did not move, she shook her head and said, "You're up." Feng Hua turned over and fell asleep again. Lizhu and Chunhe tried a few times, but it was useless.

Lihua asked, "Do we still want to wake the princess up? You know the princess's temper."
