Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Upon hearing Yu Yunxi’s words, Meng Xia said from the side, “Eldest Princess, Young Master Feng Sheng was here previously. It’s not surprising that you find his back view familiar…

However, the frown on Yu Yunxi’s face did not ease even after she heard Meng Xia’s words. She shook her head and said, “No, it has nothing to do with his last visit. I feel like I’ve seen him a long time ago…”

Yu Yunxi searched her mind for a long time, but she could not remember anything.

“I forgot to ask him about what happened back then!” Yu Yunxi said, frustrated. Ever since she had regained her memories, she had been trying to organize them.

In her memory, she saw herself being ambushed after she left the imperial mausoleum six years ago. She was seriously injured at that time, and in the end, a group of people rushed out to save her and even sent her to the King of Xinan’s Residence.

According to the King of Xinan, Feng Sheng had written a letter to him so he sent people to save her.

Feng Sheng’s explanation was that his mother and her mother were close friends so he saved her.

However, there was one thing Yu Yunxi did not understand. Six years ago, before she fainted, she remembered those people had called her ‘Master’. She had no connection with them so why did they address her in such a manner? She had been planning to ask Feng Sheng about this matter, but she had forgotten it earlier.

‘Forget it. Based on his words, I’ll be seeing him again. I’ll just ask him at that time…’

Yu Yunxi knew they would meet again, but she did not know that they would meet again very quickly.

At night.

The Emperor Emeritus summoned Yu Yunxi into the imperial palace.

“Eldest Princess, I heard that the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince of Beixiao are both in the Emperor Emeritus’ palace. Seeing that the Emperor Emeritus summoned you there, it… it should be regarding the engagement, right?” Qian Qing and Meng Xia looked at Yu Yunxi with grave expressions on their faces.

Yu Yunxi pursed her lips and fell deep into her thoughts.

They were sitting in the carriage at this moment. It was very quiet at this moment, and only the sounds of horse’s hooves and the spinning wheels could be heard.

After a long while, Yu Yunxi slowly said, “No matter what Grandfather’s thoughts are, I’ll explain myself to him clearly. No matter what I’m in the wrong. Whatever conditions Beixiao puts forward, I’ll try my best to meet them…”

The carriage entered the imperial palace and pulled to a stop in front of the Emperor Emeritus palace.

“Eldest Princess!”

As soon as Yu Yunxi alighted from the carriage, she heard a familiar voice.

Yu Ting ran over excitedly.

Yu Yunxi’s expression softened when she saw Yu Ting. She asked, “It’s already so late. Why are you here?”

The wind was strong at night, causing Yu Ting’s face to turn red. She rubbed her hands together as she answered seriously, “I-I’m here to pick up the Fifth Prince.”

‘The Fifth Prince?’

Yu Yunxi looked behind Yu Ting and saw a tall and slender figure. It was Qing

Yuan.

Qing Yuan looked slightly pale and in a trance. He seemed to be engrossed in his thoughts. Although Yu Yunxi had been staring at him for a long time, he did not notice it at all.

Yu Ting sighed heavily and said, “Eldest Princes, you left early so you didn’t know what happened after that. After the Fifth Prince left Master Shenzhi’s meditation room, he seemed to have lost his soul. He kneeled on the ground and said that he wanted to give up his status as a member of the imperial family and that he wanted to continue staying in the temple. Master Shen Zhi naturally didn’t agree. Even when the Fifth Prince kneeled until he fainted, Master Shen Zhi remained unmoved. In the end, the Fifth Prince was brought to the capital by the envoys from Beixiao.”

“So now he’s…”

“He’s not willing to admit his identity as the Fifth Prince of Beixiao, and he doesn’t want to be with the people of Beixiao. He doesn’t want to stay in the palace or the relay station. As such, the Emperor Emeritus has no choice but to ask the Yu family for help,” Yu Ting explained.

Seeing the puzzled expression on Yu Yunxi’s face, Yu Ying explained, “My sister-in-law is a Princess of the Third Rank in Beixiao. She and the Fifth Prince can be considered cousins. With the arrangement, the Emperor

Emeritus is hoping that the Fifth Prince will slowly accept this matter…”

“Grandfather really put in a lot of effort…” Yu Yunxi said with a sigh. Seeing how close Qing Yuan was to Master Shen Zhi, she knew it would probably be very difficult for Qing Yuan to come to terms with the matter for the time being.

Yu Ting turned to look at the dejected Qing Yuan and said with a sigh, “I’m really unhappy to see such a handsome man in such a state…”

Yu Yunxi:

Yu Ting blinked her eyes and asked curiously, “Eldest Princess, don’t you think the Fifth Prince is very handsome?”

Yu Yunxi nodded calmly. “His appearance is indeed excellent.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Ting leaned over and lowered her voice as she said conspiratorially, “Let me tell you. The Third Prince is the real handsome one.

Even the Crown Prince can’t compare to him…”

Yu Yunxi laughed when she heard this. She did not take Yu Ting’s words to heart. When she heard Yu Ting’s words, two faces appeared in her mind, and they belonged to Feng Yili and Feng Sheng. In her opinion, there should not be anyone who was better looking than those two men.

“Ah, Eldest Princess, I can’t chat with you anymore. I have to bring the Fifth Prince home as soon as possible. My grandmother and the others are still waiting. They were afraid of scaring the Fifth Prince so they sent me here alone,” Yu Ting said before she quickly ran back to Qing Yuan’s side.

Yu Ting said something to Qing Yuan. Although Qing Yuan was still filled with pain, he still left with Yu Ting.

Yu Yunxi looked at the duo’s backs, thinking that her maternal grandfather and the Yu family really put in a lot of effort to help Qing Yuan.

The Fifth Prince of Beixiao looked gentle, but he was aloof and stubborn. In everyone’s eyes, his status as a prince of Beixiao was high and noble, but to him, it was just a shackle that forced him to leave the temple. If everyone continued to pressure him, he would only be even more resistant.

It was indeed a good choice to send Yu Ting here. She was lively and likable so Qing Yuan would not reject her.

At this moment, Meng Xia asked curiously, “Eldest Princess, do you like the Seventh Miss ot the Yu family a lot?”

“Who wouldn’t like such a likable young girl?” Yu Yunxi asked in return, smiling.

At this moment, Li Xu came out and said with a bright smile, “You’re here,

Eldest Princess. The Emperor Emeritus is waiting for you inside.”

Yu Yunxi had a headache. She asked, “The… Is the Third Prince of Beixiao inside as well?”

“Yes, Eldest Princess. In fact, it was the Third Prince who took the initiative to look for the Emperor Emeritus tonight,” Li Xu continued to say with a smile.

Yu Yunxi:

“Alright, let’s go,” Yu Yunxi said with a sigh. She would have to face this matter sooner or later. All she could do now was face the matter calmly and make it clear to everyone.

As soon as Yu Yunxi entered, a familiar and gentle voice rang out.

“We meet again..”
