Chapter 240 Princess Mingyue's Second Visit
Zhai Yun toasted Feng Chenyi: "Brother Yi, happy birthday. Yun'er will be with you for every birthday from now on."
Looking at Zhai Yun's radiant smile, Feng Chenyi felt a surge of joy and satisfaction, and a smile also bloomed on his face.
Qi Nuo and Sheng Er had never seen the prince smile before, especially tonight. The happiness in his eyes was impossible to hide, and he smiled more happily than ever when he saw Zhai Yun.
Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi were happily drinking, while Sheng Er and Qi Nuo only took small sips of wine, except for the toast to their own prince's birthday.
Only the two of them are on duty in the courtyard tonight, so they definitely need to stay awake.
Halfway through the drinks, Zhai Yun thought that her birthday shouldn't end like this, and looked at Feng Chenyi with slightly tipsy eyes: "Brother Yi, let's go set off fireworks!"
Upon hearing the word "fireworks," Qi Nuo and Sheng Er immediately got to work. After discussing it, they decided that Sheng Er would stay in the courtyard to clean up the mess.
Qi Nuo, on the other hand, went out to buy fireworks, having arranged with Feng Chenyi to set them off at the agreed-upon location.
Although Feng Chenyi drank the same amount as Zhai Yun, he was very sober. Seeing the mess on the table, Zhai Yun helped the slightly tipsy Feng Chenyi to sit down and let the Second Provincial Department clean up.
Zhai Yun kept asking, "Brother Yi, aren't we going to set off fireworks? Let's go!"
Feng Chenyi held the unsteady Zhai Yun in his arms and said patiently, "We didn't prepare in advance. Qi Nuo went to buy fireworks. It will take a while. Hold on tight and don't fall."
Zhai Yun was only slightly tipsy, not drunk. She hugged Feng Chenyi and snuggled against him, saying, "Brother Yi, where should we set off the fireworks? This place definitely won't do!"
Feng Chenyi tightened his grip on Zhai Yun, looked down at her flushed face in his arms, and whispered, "I'll take you somewhere."
Feng Chenyi's breath lightly brushed against Zhai Yun's cheek as he spoke, making her giggle with ticklishness. Her rosy cheeks added a touch of shy charm to her face.
Looking at Zhai Yun, Feng Chenyi couldn't help but swallow hard. All his impulses were suppressed deep inside. Feng Chenyi held Zhai Yun even tighter and gently circulated his inner energy.
He carried Zhai Yun and flew up from the small courtyard, heading towards the tallest building in the capital.
Zhai Yun was only slightly drunk at first, but the moment she flew out of the courtyard, a gust of wind blew by, and she felt dizzy and lost consciousness. When she regained consciousness...
She nestled in her brother Yi's arms, sitting on the rooftop of the highest building in the capital. As soon as she opened her eyes, Zhai Yun was shocked by the scene before her; the entire capital was below them.
The wind blowing in their faces came from hundreds of kilometers away, and from here they could see the entire capital city.
"Brother Yi." Zhai Yun looked at Feng Chenyi, who was staring at her in shock, "It's so beautiful! How did you find this place?"
After Zhai Yun finished speaking, she looked up and seemed to be closer to the sky. The moment she raised her hand, it was as if she could touch the stars in the sky.
Seeing that Zhai Yun really liked this place, Feng Chenyi felt a sweet feeling welling up inside him. "I've never been here before either, but my intuition tells me that you can see further from a higher vantage point."
Looking down at the capital city, which lay at her feet, Zhai Yun suddenly felt a sense of superiority.
Suddenly, streaks of light flew up and exploded not far from Zhai Yun, the colorful fireworks bursting forth in an instant, illuminating the dark night sky.
Zhai Yun jumped up excitedly, "Brother Yi, look, it's so beautiful!"
Fireworks continued to bloom, and although brief, they showcased the most beautiful moments.
Feng Chenyi stood behind Zhai Yun. Before him was a smile more dazzling than fireworks, and eyes brighter and clearer than fireworks. Her figure shone brightly against the backdrop of the fireworks.
The envoy from Xuanyuan Kingdom to welcome the bride arrived. It was Fu Yiming. Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi were planting flowers and plants in the courtyard when they heard the news.
Fortunately, Emperor An sent Guan Li to summon Feng Chenyi to the palace.
After Zhai Yun finished planting the flowers, she sat on the swing and started swinging around out of boredom. Qi Nuo came running over to report: "Young Master, Princess Mingyue is here again."
Zhai Yun recalled meeting Princess Mingyue when she accompanied Consort Tian to the flower viewing banquet last time. Didn't Princess Mingyue say that she had figured it out and that she was not good enough for her?
"When is she leaving for the marriage alliance?" Zhai Yun, too lazy to calculate it herself, simply asked Qi Nuo.
Qi Nuo said, "The day after tomorrow."
Zhai Yun didn't want to see her, "Go ahead and refuse!"
Just as Qi Nuo was about to leave, Sheng Er rushed in and said, "Princess Mingyue guessed that you wouldn't see her, so she sent me to deliver a message that she knows the real culprit who killed Consort Chen."
Zhai Yun stopped the swing, her expression turning serious. "Let her in!"
"What if she's lying, or she makes some unreasonable demands before she'll tell us?" Qinuo was extremely anxious; Princess Mingyue had really arrived just in time.
She arrived as soon as the prince left, as if it had been planned.
Zhai Yun could ignore everything else, but this was the one thing she wanted to get on her feet. Her gaze was deep: "Let her in!"
Province No. 2 ran out, while Qi Nuo stood behind him.
When Princess Mingyue entered, she first looked the courtyard over from top to bottom, and then looked in Zhai Yun's direction. She took off her cloak and looked at Zhai Yun with a mocking expression: "If you had agreed to my request back then, you wouldn't have ended up like this."
Zhai Yun looked at her and said, "If Princess Mingyue still has this idea, she should give it up as soon as possible."
As if certain that the information she possessed was crucial to Zhai Yun, she spoke with unwavering confidence: "This princess has no intention of wasting words with you. I've come today to make a deal with you."
Zhai Yun looked at her, wanting her to state her purpose directly. Fortunately, Princess Mingyue did not continue to put on airs and said directly, "This princess does not want to marry into the Xuanyuan Kingdom. You find a way. As long as this princess does not marry into the Xuanyuan Kingdom, this princess will tell you what you want to know."
Zhai Yun suddenly laughed. When Princess Mingyue saw Zhai Yun laugh, her face turned ugly: "What are you laughing at?"
"What am I laughing at?" Zhai Yun found it laughable. "You, a princess, can't do it, so why do you think I can, or that the Prince Rui's mansion can?"
Princess Mingyue looked at Zhai Yunxiao with a resolute glint in her eyes, "Whether you can do it or not is none of my concern. All I know is that I have what you want."
Zhai Yun's face darkened. Princess Mingyue's confident demeanor made Zhai Yun hesitate: "Why should I believe you!"
Faced with Zhai Yun's questioning, Princess Mingyue remained calm. She touched the flowers and plants that Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi had just planted and placed on the platform, saying, "You've been back for so long, you haven't found anything, have you? Even after Consort Chen's death, she wasn't allowed to be buried in the imperial mausoleum, and her body hasn't been recovered."
