Chapter 179 The Imperial Preceptor of a Female-Dominated Society (Continued)

The prince who had been stranded in the Phoenix Kingdom was found. After learning who he was, Feng Yu felt some regret.

If she had known better, she would have married him first, and now she would be the one benefiting.

It's a pity, now we can only look on from afar.

Her life after marriage was not easy either; her health gradually deteriorated, making it impossible for her to do much else.

Aside from seeing the doctor, all other matters in the princess's residence had to be handled by Xu Zishan. Fortunately, although the latter was of low status, he was quite good at dealing with people.

However, Feng Yu always felt that Xu Zishan was somewhat distant from her. She couldn't quite put her finger on it, but she could tell that there was no love in his eyes.

She wanted to ask, but didn't dare.

Until another palace banquet was held, Feng Yu, supporting herself, went to the banquet, and it was the first time she had seen Xu Zishan dressed like this...

Handsome.

He seemed a little nervous, and kept adjusting his clothes the whole way.

Just as Feng Yu was about to ask, a gasp of surprise came from the side.

"The Imperial Advisor has arrived!"

"The Imperial Advisor is so handsome..."

"The eleventh princess is also here..."

……

Countless whispers flooded into the carriage. Feng Yu noticed that Xu Zishan's body suddenly stiffened, and even his breathing became heavier.

"Your Highness, let's go down!"

After saying that, Xu Zishan got off the carriage first and immediately saw the person standing in the crowd.

Still dazzling, still like a celestial being, high above, unattainable, yet captivating.

Qingyu's appearance today was merely to save face for the Empress, while the eleventh princess beside her seemed to have become her bodyguard, staying close to her at all times.

She naturally saw Xu Zishan not far away as well.

This male supporting character… Qingyu can only say that he is truly a born master of managing the inner palace. In the original story, he willingly managed the inner palace and harem for Fengyu, but now…

She still became the seventh imperial consort.

However, thinking of the interesting things Gu Zhongchun had told her recently, Qingyu couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, the extremely slight curve making her cold face much gentler.

Even the silver masks seemed to soften.

"System, do you think Feng Yu knows she's been poisoned?"

The system, sitting in its space playing the latest match-3 game, curled its lip upon hearing this, "She has no idea; she's not as smart as the transmigrated Feng Yu."

Qingyu chuckled softly, withdrew her gaze from Xu Zishan, and turned to slowly head towards the palace.

Today is actually a special day. After a year's absence, Prince Ye Huai from the neighboring country has returned, bringing with him an agreement between the two countries.

The Queen was overjoyed and held a banquet to express her happiness.

A festive atmosphere permeated the palace, and as Qingyu walked by, everyone's eyes were glued to her.

I had long heard of the Imperial Preceptor's exceptional temperament; though his appearance was rarely seen, many people speculated—

That must be an indescribable beauty.

"Imperial Advisor," the Empress said with a smile, seated on her high throne, introducing the person beside her to Qingyu. "Do you still remember him?"

"I remember." Qingyu didn't even glance at Ye Huai beside her; the latter's gaze was simply too intense, as if he were staring at everything she owned...

Qingyu didn't like that look.

"Grand Preceptor." Ye Huai finally couldn't help but step forward. He was dressed in magnificent robes, and compared to his previous timidity, he was now powerful and confident, exuding royal confidence, with smiles in his eyes.

"Long time no see, Imperial Preceptor... Your charm remains unchanged."

Qingyu then glanced at him, her watery eyes calm and undisturbed.

She parted her red lips slightly, "Since the prince is a meritorious official, he should be entertained by His Majesty. I, the Imperial Tutor, will now take my leave."

Ye Huai's expression changed slightly, and he wanted to speak up to stop her, but Consort Ru, who had been holding back for a long time, stepped forward and said with a smile, "The Imperial Advisor is right. Besides, the Imperial Advisor is busy with affairs. Your Majesty, you should let the Imperial Advisor go back first."

The Empress had always been tolerant of Qingyu, and immediately nodded.

Since she had already nodded, Ye Huai, no matter how unpleasant his expression was, could only agree in a low voice.

The person I've longed for for so long, I can only see once now...

Ye Huai's eyes were filled with resentment. He glanced back at Feng Yu and snorted coldly.

And there she is again, this useless princess.

Feng Yu, on the other hand, was very polite, greeting and bowing to the group. "May Your Majesty be well, Your Highness, it's been a long time."

The Empress nodded indifferently, then waved for him to sit down, and said nothing more. Her cold attitude made Feng Yu smile bitterly.

At the same time, a sense of shame arose.

But he had no choice but to endure it and sat down in silence.

Seeing this, Consort Ru subtly curled the corners of her lips.

It's no wonder he always blows on the pillow; the phoenix feather has landed like this, it's truly delightful!

----------

Qingyu simply went through the motions before returning to the palace, but as soon as she reached the gate, she saw Qingling frozen in place, her face full of anger, yet her eyes filled with pleading for help—

Qingyu remained silent for a moment before entering the palace. As she passed Qingling, she casually waved her hand, and the latter instantly seemed to be liberated, almost falling to the ground.

"The Imperial Advisor! He's gone too far!"

It goes without saying who "he" refers to.

Qingyu looked at the dark figure in the shadows, a hint of helplessness in her eyes. She pursed her lips and said in a clear voice, "You've been playing tricks on my people time and time again. Isn't that going too far?"

"I was just kidding, it's so boring without you." Gu Zhongchun emerged from the darkness.

He seemed unchanged, still like a young man, only his eyes were much deeper and more profound, exuding an imposing aura.

He glanced behind Qingyu, chuckled softly, his voice both teasing and magnetic, making it extremely pleasant to listen to, "You went to the banquet? Did you see Fengyu?"

Qingyu nodded. "I saw her. It seems you hold a grudge and haven't forgotten her yet."

"Of course, she ruined one of my most capable lieutenants."

That's pure nonsense. In this lifetime, Lu Yan's death had little to do with Feng Yu; it was all Qing Yu's "troublemaking."

However, Qingyu didn't admit it, and she was too lazy to talk about it anymore. Gu Zhongchun would pop up from time to time. It wasn't that Qingyu couldn't catch him, but thinking that this person was well-informed and could gossip from time to time, he wasn't entirely useless.

She returned to her room. Gu Zhongchun did not force his way in. He stared at her back for a long time, mesmerized. When he turned around, he received Qing Ling's hateful gaze, and his eyes instantly turned cold.

"If you don't want your eyeballs anymore, I can take them away for you!"

Qingling stubbornly bit her lip, secretly hating herself for not having martial arts skills, yet she had no choice but to compromise. She lowered her eyes resentfully, not uttering a single word.

A few breaths later, only a gentle breeze remained at the doorway; there was no one in sight.

------------

Ye Huai's return this time was at his own request.

He lived a mediocre life in the neighboring country, but no one in his own country took him seriously, showering him with endless gold, silver, and respect.

Logically speaking, even so, Ye Huai's life shouldn't be too bad.

Unfortunately, his beloved was far away, and a day apart felt like three autumns. He couldn't bear it any longer, so he took the initiative to suggest going to Feng Kingdom to stay for a long time in order to strengthen the relationship between the two countries.
