Chapter 1084 That Day, Will Come Soon

Ever since Feng Yuheng saw that private mentor climb onto Feng Zirui’s bed, and scared that child until he turned pale, she had never thought of letting Xuan Tianmo off. Deal with a person as how he dealt with you, she only added some extra seasoning, that was all.

Xuan Tiange did not say anything else, the Eighth Prince got what he deserved, harming the Emperor to that extent, making him suffer more now was natural. Moreover, she did not have the heart to deal with others, her own matters have already caused her to be so anxious that her head was burning.

Feng Yuheng could tell that Xuan Tiange asked her out because she had something to say, so she smiled in a troubled manner, shook her head and stood up, pulling Xuan Tiange outside with her, speaking as she walked: “Since you have something to say, let’s find a quiet place and not this tea house in town. It is alright to listen to gossip here, but if you want to talk about matters in your heart, the conditions are a little bad.”

Xuan Tiange felt a little embarrassed, following her, and only when they boarded the imperial carriage did she say: “I also heard that there were people talking about the matters in the imperial palace at the tea house, so I wanted to come here to listen.”

“We have heard what we came here to hear, so we should change the location to talk about serious matters.” Feng Yuheng looked at her with a smile, and only felt that even though this Da Shun’s Princess had a worried expression on her face, her complexion was splendid and her spirits looked good. She did not have dark eye circles and her skin was glowing, so it could be seen that her sleep was not disturbed because of those worries. What did that imply? This implied that this worry was not enough to affect her lifestyle, or she was not very resistant to that worry and even enjoyed it.

Feng Yuheng was very reassured and inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. She was not being selfish, the start of that matter was that the Gu Shu ruler looked for Yu Palace. If Xuan Tiange only married to Gu Shu solely because of the exchange conditions, she would feel guilty all her life.

The pair left the tea house, going straight to Refined Deity Building, the seats in this place were still difficult to reserve, but regardless of when Feng Yuheng came, a private room would be prepared for her any time. The waiter received instructions and did not serve rich wine and dishes, only some elegant desserts. But the taste of those desserts could not be replicated in normal places, even the chefs in the imperial palace would not be able to create this exquisiteness and still be delicious.

Just like what Feng Yuheng sensed, Xuan Tiange was actually in rather good spirits, especially when she saw those desserts, her eyes shined and lunged on the table to eat happily. It was such that Feng Yuheng said helplessly: “This Refined Deity Building is difficult to reserve, but you are Xuan Tianming’s only younger sister. If you want eat good food, do you think he will deny you? Why are you acting like you have not eaten this for a few years, you’re not acting like a princess at all.”

Xuan Tiange waved her hand in dismissal, swallowing the last mouthful of dessert, this was when she spoke: “Ah-Heng, let me tell you, no matter how delicious something is, it cannot be eaten every day, you will get sick of it. You need to be like me, resisting and not eating for a few months, then suddenly eating it again, the feeling is just like celebrating New Years. But you are right, this is opened by my Ninth Brother, I should come here to eat frequently, if I do not…… I might not be able to eat here in the future.” As she spoke to this point, her eyes turned slightly red, but she was still smiling, picking up the folding fan placed on the table to fan the area around her eyes a few times, mocking herself: “I’m really useless, I have been like this recently. Do you know, sometimes when I see the many streets of the capital, I feel like crying. After all, I have grown up here and am familiar with every inch of the land, even the air is something I am familiar with. But I am going to leave, leaving all of this, going to an unfamiliar place.”

As she spoke, her tears really fell, she quickly raised her hand to wipe the tears again and even looked at Feng Yuheng with a smile, but Feng Yuheng felt a prick in her nose as she watched this.

“Tiange.” She finally opened her mouth, continuing the topic, “Throwing away the matters of Father Emperor, throwing away your identity, I only want to ask you, being with that person, are you happy?”

This was not a simple question, perhaps it would be easy for a normal person to answer, but Xuan Tiange was Da Shun’s princess, she had never tried to free herself from this identity and would naturally find it difficult to rate a man from the perspective of a normal person, how could she forget? She thought for a while and used another way to answer Feng Yuheng. She said: “Fan Tianli told me that Gu Shu has many many fruits, sweeter than Da Shun; there are also many many dried fruits, plumper than those in Da Shun; Gu Shu has many kinds of cloth which are different from Da Shun and women look very good dressed in them; Gu Shu also has many musical instruments and are very pleasant to listen to when performed. Ah-Heng, I don’t know what is the happiness from throwing away my identity and those conditions, I can only say, when I listen to him describing this to me, I really want to take a look at those nations in Da Mo which he had talked about.”

When Xuan Tiange said these words, an expression of yearning appeared on her face, that shine on her face could not acted out. Therefore Feng Yuheng knew, she could really put down her worries, the desire for love in this woman had been activated, and it was activated by that person whom she met briefly in Da Mo, then developed in a dramatic manner to reach the current situation.

Xuan Tiange said: “Ah-Heng, do you know? I envied you and my Ninth Brother the most. Not considering the others, only my Ninth Brother will not touch other women for your sake. On this point, very little men can do this. Uncle Emperor’s attitude towards Her Highness Imperial Concubine Yun is already considered good, right? He had not entered the imperial harem for more than twenty years. But in the end, before Imperial Concubine Yun, he had so many concubines and so many sons. This reality has been set in stone, this gives a demerit to what was good later, to the point that Imperial Concubine Yun was unwilling to forgive the lies he told her at the start for more than twenty years. But my Ninth Brother has never done this, and will not do it in the future, you need to know, for this kind of man, you will not find him even if you are holding a lantern. I am not as lucky as you, Fan Tianli’s harem still has three women, and I cannot be that cruel and will not do anything much to those three women. Therefore, not considering what I am yearning for, whether my life in the future is good or bad, this is still an unknown for me.”

“Are you afraid?” Feng Yuheng asked her, “A woman going to such a faraway place alone, are you afraid?”

Xuan Tiange nodded, “The fear is definitely there, but it’s not to the point that I do not dare to go. After all, I am the princess of the country, and will walk down the path of political marriage sooner or later, even if it is not Gu Shu, there are still other places. Think about it, Gu Shu is still much stronger than Qian Zhou in the past, right! So I am mentally prepared, there is no need to worry about me. I asked you out today to tell you, I decided to marry Fan Tianli. His entourage will enter the capital in three days, at that time, he will formally propose the marriage to Uncle Emperor, I…… might have to separate from all of you soon.”

Finally, a bitter expression appeared on her face, also showing her attachment towards this land. But Feng Yuheng knew, Xuan Tiange did not have any choice, this was the fate of Da Shun’s princess.

This day, the two of them switched from eating desserts to drinking alcohol in Refined Deity Building, and they drank until the sky turned dark. With the two of them slumped on the table, the waiter had no choice but to take away the wine vats.

The manager was helpless seeing this, one was a Prince’s wife, the other was a Princess, with two women drinking three vats of wine in an afternoon, of course they would be drunk. He made a decision for a waiter to run an errand, sending letters to Yu Palace and Wenxuan Palace, thinking to have the two palaces send people to take them back separately. However, the people who came, other than Xuan Tianming, no one from Wenxuan Palace appeared, but an unfamiliar man came along, and once he entered the room, he picked up Xuan Tiange in a princess carry and left the private room without saying anything.

The shopkeeper was a little surprised, but seeing that Xuan Tianming did not stop him, he confirmed that it must be a person they knew and did not say anymore, leaving quietly. Xuan Tianming sighed and sat next to his wife, Feng Yuheng felt that someone had sat down beside her and immediately laid sideways in the direction of his embrace, landing in his arms without hesitation.

He could not help but laugh, “You don’t even care who is sitting beside you, and just dive into their arms like that?”

The woman in his arms spoke nonchalantly: “If I cannot even recognise the smell of my own husband, I do not deserve to be a divine doctor. Xuan Tianming, the smell on your body cannot escape my nose, even if there is a mountain between us, I can smell you out.”

These words were too over the top, but Xuan Tianming loved hearing it, he learned from Fan Tianli and also picked Feng Yuheng up in a princess carry, heading downstairs while speaking with a smile: “You’re already married, but you’re still acting like a child.” Looking down and seeing her curled up like a cat in his arms, he felt infinitely satisfied.

The Emperor regained his senses and they also breathed a sigh of relief, the physical connection which they had put off under the tense situation finally recovered. That beautiful scene appeared again in the corner of the courtyard in Yu Palace, such that even Wang Chuan and Huang Quan also felt relieved.

In the hot summer, the Emperor’s spirits were not that good. His body was back in good health and he could already walk around. It was just that he had aged a lot compared to before, and everyone could not help but look at his hair, after all, it had turned completely white during these months and not one black strand was left.

Sometimes, Zhang Yuan would think, from which point in time did Emperor’s hair start to turn white? Thinking about it, he felt that it should be during the period when he was in the Department of Guilty Servants or when he was in Jing Ci Palace. Either way, it had to be when he was not at the Emperor’s side. He did feel very bad and did not dare to say anything too saddening, acting the same as before, bickering with the Emperor and occasionally amusing the old Emperor into laughing.

The Emperor was very disciplined now, he did not drink alcohol anymore, and did not like to eat meat anymore. He said Yun Pianpian did not like him drinking alcohol and eating meat, so even if Yun Pianpian was not in the imperial palace now, he also remembered her preferences and could not reject them.

The good thing was that he would still have a conversation with the Empress every day, sometimes this session would last two hours, sometimes it would last half a day and they would occasionally eat meals together. But the Empress knew, she was not getting favoured, it was just that the old Emperor was bored and he was alleviating his boredom. She wanted to wait for that Sun Qi from the Imperial Health Hall to take further action, and once he did, it would be convenient for her to mention this to the old Emperor to give the old Emperor something to do, hopefully stimulating his fighting spirit.

Unfortunately, ever since that action from Sun Qi last time, it was as if he had done nothing at all. It was not mentioned again and he no longer headed towards Jing Ci Palace. There was even one time the Empress summoned him over to conduct a routine pulse examination, but he only did his duty and did not chat unnecessarily. It was to the point that the Empress felt that she had misheard what was said earlier.

However, she had a feeling, what should come would come eventually, and that day, was not far away……
