Long Feiye stopped talking upon her arrival, while Chu Xifeng respectfully retreated to the corner of the room. Han Yunxi could tell they’d been talking business, but her matter was rather time-sensitive, so she had no choice but to tell Long Feiye now.

“Your Highness, may I discuss something with you?” she asked seriously.

Su Xiaoyu had returned to the Leisurely Cloud Pavilion. Zhao mama couldn’t set her worries at rest, so she’d followed Han Yunxi here in case she did something rash. She was already feeling nervous from Han Yunxi’s words, and secretly tugged at her robes. Although Zhao mama dearly wished to tell His Highness Duke of Qin how Mu Liuyue had humiliated Han Yunxi, she didn’t dare! She knew the Duke of Qin liked esteemed wangfei, but how much? And to what extent? She wasn’t clear.

She only knew that His Highness and esteemed wangfei weren’t 100 steps apart anymore. But they weren’t much closer, either. Originally, the empress dowager had decreed their marriage, while Emperor Tianhui had urged it on. Back then, the entire wedding had been a way to insult and humiliate the Duke of Qin. If esteemed wangfei came to ask for betrothal gifts now, His Highness Duke of Qin would definitely be unhappy. It wasn’t certain whether he’d gift her for real.

“What is it?” Long Feiye asked mildly. In his memories, this woman rarely asked him for anything, much less in such a rush.

Han Yunxi allowed Zhao mama to keep tugging as she spoke. “Your Highness, chenqie wants to throw a birthday banquet for mufei.”

Urk…

Zhao mama was completely at a loss. What?

Long Feiye was surprised as well. Why did this woman suddenly come up with that idea?

“Why?” Long Feiye asked.

Han Yunxi’s eyes glimmered craftily before she suddenly scooted closer. Long Feiye was caught off-guard, but didn’t back away. He allowed her to stand right next to him. Han Yunxi grinned before she whispered something in his ear. Her words were unintelligible, but Long Feiye simply nodded with interest. Everyone else present at the scene felt like their heads were stuck in a fog. They wanted to ask questions, but didn’t dare to interrupt the pair.

Han Yunxi spoke at length and in detail about what she wanted to do, her breath teasing the edges of Long Feiye’s ear. He was reluctant to have her leave by the time she finished and straightened up.

Meanwhile, Han Yunxi had no idea how intimate they’d looked just then. She was all seriousness. “Your Highness, what do you think?”

Long Feiye pinched his ear, feeling refreshed. “It’ll be done according to your wishes.”
