"Your Majesty, did I do something inappropriate? I know that a girl shouldn't be like this, but I really like Feng Cang. I, I … "In a moment of desperation, Xia Yunxi squeezed out two drops of tears, as if Wanyan Lie had bullied her.
Some people say that tears are the most lethal weapon that God has given to women, and this is not false at all. Xia Yunxi knew how to use her weapon well. Her tears, coupled with her delicate face, made people feel pity for her. Any bystander would think that Wanyan Lie was bullying Xia Yunxi. To put it more bluntly, it was the Beizhou Kingdom taking advantage of its power to bully others.
Wanyan Lie knew that this was a woman's trick, but he had no choice but to be used by Xia Yunxi. This involved relations between countries and political interests, so he could not go overboard.
"It is Cang 'er's fortune that Princess is so considerate. Since Princess doesn't mind, I feel that Cang' er won't mind either. Men, pass on the edict. "
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xia Yunxi slowly wiped her tears after finally achieving her goal.
Sure enough, Imperial Mother was right. There wasn't a single man in this world who could resist the tears of a weak woman. Men all had a hero complex. They all wanted to display their desire to protect in front of a woman. A delicate face and pitiful tears was the best way to arouse a man's desire to protect.
Imperial Grandmother had trapped Imperial Grandfather in this way, and Imperial Mother had also firmly grasped Imperial Father's heart in the same way. When it came to her, she also wanted to capture Feng Cang's heart and make him kneel before her.
Wanyan Lie's edict soon reached the Southern Lin Palace. Hearing this news, Feng Cang frowned.
"I've never seen such a clingy woman!" Ji Xiang couldn't help but grumble. The news of Xia Yunxi being rejected by Feng Cang at the White Cloud Residence had already spread throughout the capital, not to mention the Southern Lin Palace.
Now, this woman actually jumped ranks and directly asked for an edict in front of Wanyan Lie. How could Feng Cang's subordinates not be angry?
No matter what the outside world said, Feng Cang and Murong Qiqi were siblings, and these subordinates knew Feng Cang's true identity. They sincerely treated Murong Qiqi as the Princess. Now, a princess had popped out of nowhere and wanted to steal the position of Princess. She was really baffling and shameless!
Xia Yunxi naturally didn't know about the Southern Lin Palace's evaluation of her. She was happily packing her things and rushing to the Southern Lin Palace.
"Princess, this way please!" The housekeeper, Feng Qi, led Xia Yunxi to the Rain Observatory Tower. Feng Cang and Murong Qiqi's Tingsong Tower was on the easternmost side, while the Rain Observatory Tower was on the westernmost side. If Xia Yunxi wanted to see Feng Cang, she would have to walk around most of the Prince's Mansion for more than an hour. This was something that Feng Qi had deliberately arranged.
"Rain Observation Tower! Very beautiful, this empress likes it very much! "
Being able to enter the King's Mansion was already great news for Xia Yunxi. She had thought that once she entered the King's Mansion, she would be together with Feng Cang. How could she have known that the Tingyu Pavilion was so far away from the Tingsong Pavilion? At this time, she only cared about being happy.
"Butler, where is the stove?"
"Stove? Is Princess worried that the dishes made by the chefs in the Prince's Mansion are not to your taste? "
"No, this empress wants to personally make some delicious side dishes for Prince!" As she said this, Xia Yunxi's face blushed. Her bashful appearance made her look like a shy little girl.
However, this shyness was especially fake in Feng Qi's eyes. A truly reserved woman wouldn't eagerly approach a man and seduce him with her naked body.
"Prince has a dedicated chef. He doesn't like the taste of other people's dishes." Feng Qi tactfully rejected Xia Yunxi's idea.
"Then, can this empress learn how to cook from this chef? This empress also wants to make dishes that suit Prince's taste. "
Xia Yunxi's words made Feng Qi completely speechless. Do you really not understand other people's words? Or are you really thick-skinned?!
However, no matter how uncomfortable Feng Qi was, the other party was still the princess of a country. He was just a housekeeper, so he couldn't brush away the princess's face. "This, you'll have to ask the chef for his opinion. If Princess wants a stove, I'll have someone arrange it. "
"Thank you, housekeeper. I've really troubled you!" Xia Yunxi's voice was delicate and soft, causing goosebumps to rise on Feng Qi's skin. Don't be so coy, it's so mushy!
After Feng Qi left, Xia Yunxi called out from the Rain Observation Tower, "Hong Ye, I've moved into Feng Cang's residence! I've moved into Feng Cang's residence! "
"That's right, Princess, you'll be able to see Prince soon!" Hong Ye was also happy for Xia Yunxi. After all, she had gone through so many difficulties and her heart had always been for Feng Cang. Now that her wish had been fulfilled, it was something to be happy about.
"Hong Ye, take this silver and ask around. Find out what Feng Cang likes, what his schedule is, and when we can meet him. Where does he live and how does he get there? Oh right, you also have to find out what Feng Cang likes to eat! In any case, as long as it's Feng Cang's, I want to know! "
Before coming, Xia Yunxi had already prepared some silver. Her goal was to win the hearts of the people in the residence. Xia Yunxi, who had grown up in the palace, deeply understood the importance of winning the hearts of the people. Once she became the mistress of the residence, she wouldn't need to do this anymore. However, at this time, it was still very necessary to make use of these insignificant people.
In just one afternoon, Hong Ye had spent a lot of silver in the residence. With this silver, Hong Ye had brought back a lot of valuable information.
"The person he dotes on the most is the Guo Zhen Princess. She likes bland dishes and loves to eat chicken. A good friend of the royal family is the fifth prince, Wanyan Kang. His favorite color is khaki …"
Xia Yunxi noted down everything that Hong Ye said. In the end, she wrote down a total of ten pieces of paper.
Looking at the thick pile of notes about Feng Cang in her hands, Xia Yunxi felt a sense of satisfaction. She believed that as long as she followed what was written on it, she would be able to move Feng Cang one day with sincerity.
"Princess, the person His Highness dotes on the Guo Zhen Princess the most. If you embarrass the Guo Zhen Princess at the banquet, will His Highness …"
Hong Ye's words made Xia Yunxi think. When she came, she had heard many rumors about this pair of siblings.
Murong Qiqi was originally the princess of Xiqi who had come to make peace and was going to be Feng Cang's bride. However, in the end, she had mysteriously become Feng Cang's sister. This change in their relationship was a little hard for the two of them to accept, but it was reasonable. However, if Murong Qiqi couldn't change her attitude and still wanted to touch her brother, she would definitely not accept it.
