C5 Your Highness You Mustn't

"Miss, have some tea." Xiao Cui hurriedly brought the tea in front of Feng Jianxuan. She secretly pinched her arm and whispered, "In front of the Empress, little miss must not disobey the rules. If little miss is punished, how will little Cui explain this to old master?"

After Feng Jianxuan drank a mouthful of tea, she felt much more comfortable. Finally, she smiled and said, "A marriage requires one's parents to be in charge. This subject doesn't dare to go overboard."

"It's fine. If you and A Yu have a good relationship, I can ask Your Majesty to grant you a marriage." Although Empress Lu wore a smile on her face, her mind was preoccupied with plans on how to win over the strongest power for Ouyang Yu.

If he was able to marry the Prime Minister's wife at this moment, it would undoubtedly be the best deal. If Ouyang Yu could regain the title of Crown Prince, only by doing this would he be able to guarantee that after a hundred years, she would still be the most respected woman in the palace.

Feng Zixuan didn't want to get involved with Ouyang Yu anymore, but she couldn't reveal it in front of Empress Lu either.

"Empress …"

"At this time, Ah Yu should have already arrived at the palace gates." Before this, everyone in the imperial city knew what she wanted to do with Ouyang Yu. It was just that Ouyang Yu couldn't understand it at that time and didn't want to accept it. Otherwise, the marriage contract would have been set long ago.

"This subject's daughter …"

"A'Yu comes to the palace every day to pay his respects to me. You don't have to worry about that." Empress Lu said with a smile. She was afraid that Ouyang Yu's previous attitude towards her had hurt her. Had he come up with another plan?

He had to decide on this girl before the Feng Family had any plans.

Seeing that she really couldn't avoid it, Feng Jianxuan stopped struggling. Instead, she wore a stiff smile. On the surface, nothing could be seen on her face, but Feng Jianxuan was extremely disgusted in her heart, so much so that she couldn't afford to let anything slip by in front of the empress.

"Mother, your son greets you." Ouyang Yu walked into the main hall with a smile. When he saw Feng Jianxuan sitting there, he revealed a surprised expression and even forgot his manners. He asked, "The Second Miss of the Prime Minister's Estate? You came to the palace today to pay respects to the Queen Mother as well? "

Hearing him speak in such a manner, if it was her previous life, Feng Jianxuan would probably laugh out loud even if she fell asleep. However, now that she heard it, she felt extremely disgusted, wishing she could slap him in the face.

"Your servant greets Prince Mu." Feng Jianxuan could not think of anything that could make him feel more stifled than a single sentence from Prince Mu.

He had been crowned as the Crown Prince ever since he was born. However, he had been stripped of his position as Crown Prince, and had even been moved out of the palace to be known as the King of Mu.

Ouyang Yu had always been highly prided by others. Just being crippled had already made him unable to lift his head. To him, the title of "Duke of Mu" was more of a mockery.

The smile on Ouyang Yu's face stiffened as he said, "There's no need to be so courteous."

If he hadn't wanted to regain his title as crown prince, how could he have spoken even half a sentence with the Feng family's second young miss? This woman kept on pestering him and did not try to break the mood, wanting to drive her away several times but was unable to do so.

Now, not only couldn't he chase her away, he even had to curry favor with her. Although Ouyang Yu was dissatisfied in his heart, he had to do as he said.

"Ah Yu, we were just talking about you earlier. Come over and sit."

Empress Lu called Ouyang Yu over to Feng Jianxuan's side, and after winking at Ouyang Yu, she said, "I heard that the prime minister's birthday is tomorrow for the second young miss. Since the second young miss is now at her wedding age, the prime minister probably wants to use this opportunity to choose a good son-in-law for the second young miss, right?"

The empress's words were a little too direct. Even if it was for this purpose, Feng Jianxuan would definitely not directly admit it.

"The empress must be joking. My father only celebrated his birthday because he doted heavily on his daughter. As for my father's motives, this subject doesn't know either." Feng Jianxuan absolutely could not speak carelessly, otherwise, she might bring him a huge trouble.

She initially thought that Feng Jianxuan was just a little girl, but who would have thought that she was actually someone with good intentions. Empress Lu had tried to beat around the bush many times, but to no avail, so she was naturally somewhat anxious.

"How could I joke around? I've naturally heard the Prime Grandmaster mention this before, so I can't really remember." Empress Lu put on a tired expression and said, "I'm a bit tired. You should have some things to talk about since you're all around the same age. I'll go take a nap first. If nothing happens, why don't you stay for dinner? "

"This subject's daughter …"

Feng Jianxuan was about to refuse when she heard the attendant's voice from outside, "The emperor has arrived."

However, these four words caused Feng Jianxuan to shiver in relief. If it had only been the emperor coming over, then she would have been able to escape.

"The Emperor is here?" How could Empress Lu not be surprised? Ever since Ouyang Yu had been crippled, the emperor had never come to the Middle Palace again, let alone having a relationship with his wife.

Feng Jianxuan hurriedly followed the empress into the courtyard. When she saw the emperor's imposing manner, she hurriedly bowed and greeted, "Your Majesty."

"Zitong, I have something to discuss with you." The emperor's gaze swept across Empress Lu's face and landed on Feng Jianxuan's. He smiled and said, "So it's the second young miss of the prime minister's house. No wonder this place is so lively. "It's a good show to entertain the second young miss."

"Yes."

Feng Jianxuan hurriedly bowed. Seeing the emperor walk past her, she then pulled the empress's hand and entered the main hall.

From start to finish, the Emperor hadn't spoken a single word to Ouyang Yu. In this situation, it was even more obvious that he had no status.

Today's invitation to Feng Jianxuan was an opportunity created by Empress Lu, so Ouyang Yu would not easily give it up. He quickly arrived at Feng Jianxuan's side and said with a smile, "Since Imperial Father and Imperial Mother have something to say, why don't I invite this young lady to the lake?"

Not to mention this invitation, it completely exposed his intentions. Feng Zixuan pretended to be surprised and quickly retreated, "Absolutely not. Prince Mu's identity is noble, how can he travel with this subject's daughter. [If someone else sees me, how can I?] Tomorrow will be the birthday of this subject's daughter. If Prince Mu is free, you can come and join in the fun. "

Even if Feng Jianxuan hadn't said anything, her father would have still invited him over.

"Royal brother, the emperor said he wanted me to entertain him well, so we'll be leaving first. It's not good for royal brother to hear the secret words of the boudoir. I'm truly sorry. " Princess He Le held Feng Jianxuan's arm with a face full of intimacy.

Ouyang Yu did not spare her as he stepped forward, grabbed her other arm, and asked affectionately, "What if I insist on staying? "Mo Xuan, are you willing to stay?"
