The Charm of a Powerful Woman Spreads Across the World

Chapter 162

Ru Feng took a sip of water. It tasted familiar, clear and sweet. Only mountain spring water could taste like this. He had been drinking it on the mountain for ten years. It seemed that Zui Yue and the others were really thoughtful to find this.

"Drunken Moon, how much longer until we reach the capital?" Although traveling by carriage is better than riding a horse, we've already been on the road for three days, and I'm exhausted. My butt hurts.

Zui Zhu chuckled and said, "Senior brother, don't rush. We're still halfway to the capital. Just relax and lie down."

Ru Feng frowned: "The problem is I don't want to lie down anymore!" As she spoke, she tried to stand up and twist her waist, but found that her legs were as weak as noodles, and she fell down on the spot. Fortunately, Zui Zhu caught her quickly.

Amid Zuiyue's exclamation, Yuxuan lifted the carriage curtain, took Rufeng from the carriage, and said, "There's still some time left. I'll take Rufeng out for some fresh air. It's not good for her to stay cooped up in the car all the time." Before they could react, he grabbed Rufeng's waist and led her out.

Ru Feng let him make the decisions, since she had wanted to go out for a long time anyway.

"But, Xuan, what do you mean by taking me out for a stroll? People might think I'm your pet!" Ru Feng said, quite displeased. Yu Xuan held Ru Feng in his arms, used his lightness skill, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight. Ru Feng only had time to peek her hand out from under the covers before hurriedly waving goodbye to her grandfather.

Yu Xuan stopped and put Ru Feng down on a clearing with soft green grass. He then spread Ru Feng's thick quilt on the grass before letting Ru Feng sit down. He sat down as well and said softly, "I really wish you were my pet." That way, I would give you the best, and you would belong only to me, and no one could take you away from me.

Ru Feng lightly punched him, plucked a blade of grass, put it in her mouth, and lay comfortably on the grass, humming, "Actually, being a pet isn't bad, but don't be a royal pet. I'm afraid they'll make an example of me, and I'll become the sacrifice." Aren't there enough examples like that? So, being a pet isn't so good after all.

Yu Xuan gently patted Ru Feng's knees, which were covered by a thick outer robe, and said, "Ru Feng, are you happy now? Being with your royal uncle." His expression was somewhat tense.

Ru Feng let out a soft sigh and said, "I'm very happy. I feel very comfortable with him." Ru Feng spoke the truth. It seems that Yu Xuan has already made up his mind about his relationship with Wen Chen. Sigh, well, I might as well admit it.

Yu Xuan's eyes dimmed. He gently shook his head and said, "But you are a man. Your royal uncle and you will marry and have children one day, even if you don't want to." This is the helplessness of the world. Although many powerful and wealthy families keep male concubines, they are very decisive when it comes to marrying wives. After all, in a man's mind, having offspring is the most important thing.

Ru Feng snorted twice, not taking it seriously, and simply said, "We'll talk about it later, there's no rush now. But Xuan, I've noticed you've been avoiding me for the past three days, so why did you suddenly appear in front of me today? Did you take the wrong medicine?"

Because Ru Feng was bored, she kept trying to seduce Yu Xuan. She originally thought that since Mu Wenchen wasn't around, Yu Xuan could manage. Although she and Mu Wenchen often bickered, they were both more mature now, and she figured there wouldn't be any fights. But to her surprise, this guy completely ignored her the whole way! He even looked melancholy!

This frustrated Ru Feng for quite a while. Just when he was thinking about how to break through Yu Xuan's defenses, Yu Xuan delivered himself to his doorstep. Hehe, it's really heaven helping me! Ru Feng chuckled inwardly and glanced at Yu Xuan sideways.

Upon hearing Ru Feng's question, Yu Xuan immediately stopped weeding and replied after a while, "I was thinking about some things the past few days and didn't notice you. Now that I've figured it out, I came to find you."

After hearing this, even though Ru Feng knew he wasn't telling the truth, she went along with him and asked, "By the way, how is Brother Jue now?"

"It's not like that yet," Yu Xuan said casually, his thoughts momentarily drifting as he looked at Ru Feng's face.

Ru Feng had lost a lot of weight, her chin had become more pointed, and her skin had become almost translucent. Now, under the sun, her sickly paleness had faded, and two faint blushes appeared. If you didn't look at her Adam's apple, she would be an absolutely beautiful woman with exquisite features, especially the red mole on her forehead, which made her look alluring and spirited.

If Ru Feng were a woman, with his talent and personality, he would be worthy of any man's infatuation. But why is he a man? And a man who has bewitched the three of us!

But if he really is a woman, would my brother and I be willing to let go?

Ru Feng waved a blade of grass in front of Yu Xuan's eyes and said loudly, "What are you daydreaming about? I'm talking to you. Tell me, is there any possibility that your brother and my sister could become husband and wife?" Although Ru Feng did not approve of her sister marrying into the royal family, her sister seemed to be deeply in love with her brother Yu Jue, so there was nothing she could do about it. She might as well sound out the possibility now, since they were sisters after all, even though they hadn't spent much time together.

Yu Xuan snapped out of his daze, shifted his gaze to the distant green mountains and trees, and said, "That's their business. I have no right to say anything, nor do I want to."

So Ru Feng was speechless. He thought that he would ask Yu Jue properly after he got to the capital. If he really had no intention of getting involved, he would advise Ru Xue to give up as soon as possible.

Yu Xuan sighed softly, then pulled Ru Feng up and said, "It's almost time. They should be setting off soon. Let's go back." With that, he wrapped Ru Feng in a blanket, carried her for a while, and then they saw the place where the army was stationed.

Yu Xuan put Ru Feng down and gently helped her walk, saying, "Ru Feng, you're so light, you don't even weigh as much as a man. It seems you really need to gain some weight." He then smiled.

Seeing his familiar smile, Ru Feng felt relieved and replied, "It's okay, it's better to be thinner than fat." Some people can't lose weight even if they want to.

Yu Xuan simply patted Ru Feng's hair and whispered, "Ru Feng, be careful. I think Yi Han's gaze towards you is a bit off. But her background is quite good, you know. It seems she's related to you."

Ru Feng rolled her eyes at him: "What kind of kinship do we have? How come I don't know?" If we are related, why doesn't Grandpa say so? And why is he smiling so mysteriously, leaving things unsaid? He's so inconsiderate! But why does this road seem so long? My legs are starting to ache. It seems I've been lying down for too long. I need to exercise more.

As expected, after Ru Feng and Yu Xuan returned, Yu Chi Huai Yang didn't say anything, but simply ordered them to set off. Yi Han and Zui Yue, however, gave Ru Feng and Yu Xuan strange looks, constantly scanning them back and forth, much to Ru Feng's dismay.

But during every break thereafter, Yuxuan would come to see Rufeng, either for a walk or for a meal. They were practically inseparable, which made Rufeng feel like she was back in the academy. So she was very happy, her spirits lifted, and her strength gradually returned.

At least she wouldn't have to face Yi Han alone anymore, so Ru Feng was happy to go out with Yu Xuan. Besides, Yu Xuan had been treating her so well lately, letting her eat whatever she wanted. Even if she wanted fresh grapes, Yu Xuan could get them for her, allowing Ru Feng to experience the life of someone in power.

Time flew by, and even if Yu Xuan was unwilling, the capital was already within reach.

In contrast to Yu Xuan's growing silence, Ru Feng was clearly delighted, because it meant that she would soon see Mu Wenchen. So even though the capital city meant trouble, Ru Feng was still making preparations with great enthusiasm.

Before even entering the capital, Yu Xuan Huaiyang ordered his troops to assemble. In front of him were Yu Chi Huaiyang's thousand personal guards, riding tall horses with great pride and high spirits. Behind them were the privately owned infantry, all dressed in black armor, holding long spears, and marching in neat formation with high spirits.

At Yu Chi Huaiyang's request, Ru Feng had no choice but to put on silver armor, ride the BMW that Mu Wenchen had given her, and walk at the front of the procession, then follow behind her grandfather, with Yu Xuan beside her.

All of this was because the Emperor led his civil and military officials to welcome the victorious soldiers at the city gate.

After walking for three miles, they gradually heard noises and music, and Ru Feng knew that the city gate was ahead.

Looking at the majestic city gate, Ru Feng's heart was also stirred.

Chapter 129 The Capital

From afar, a group of people could be seen standing at the city gate, and the main road was also lined with enthusiastic people.

Ru Feng overheard many people talking about their grandfather, all praising him. They even compared his appearance when he returned in triumph last time, their tone filled with genuine love and respect. It seems that their grandfather's reputation is indeed very high, but it's hard to say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

Moreover, this wasn't the first time the emperor had come out of the city to greet my grandfather, and my grandfather seemed to be used to it, appearing calm and unhurried.

However, Ru Feng was not used to it, because she heard some things that made her both laugh and cry.

"Wow, is that young man behind the old general his grandson?"

"Don't you know? It's said that the old general's only grandson is a man of both literary and martial talents, and he's also brave in battle. It's said that Marshal Rufeng played a big role in the fact that the Spring Vine Kingdom was able to retreat. And look, he's really handsome!" A person who seemed to know a lot about things said with a very certain tone.

"Then that one in armor must be Yuchi Rufeng!" someone said with certainty.

"Who's that young man next to him? He looks good too, and he has a nice smile," someone else said.
