The Charm of a Powerful Woman Spreads Across the World

Chapter 163

"Ah, the Yuchi family truly has a line of generals, protecting my Zilu borderlands!" The tone was full of admiration.

Then there was a chorus of agreement from the side.

········

Ru Feng glanced at Yu Xuan slightly and said softly, "I'm talking about you."

Yu Xuan wore a kind smile and whispered, "They're talking about you too. I'm just benefiting from your fame."

Ru Feng could only remain speechless; this guy seemed to be thoroughly enjoying himself.

As I walked along the next street, I saw women dressed in their finest attire, for I could smell the strong fragrance of flowers and perfume.

Yu Xuan looked to both sides with a wicked smile on his lips. He turned to look at Ru Feng and said, "Ru Feng, look, there are a few that are quite good-looking."

Ru Feng glanced at him imperceptibly upon hearing this and whispered, "Don't talk to me." This guy, the moment he sees a woman, he's like a cat seeing a fish, even his smile becomes incredibly alluring.

Ru Feng was getting impatient. Why was the journey taking so long? They hadn't even reached the emperor yet. What bothered Ru Feng the most was the squawking of the birds along the roadside. Although it was quite pleasant to hear, there was just too much of it, creating a lot of noise.

"Wow, look, look! It's the legendary Yuchi Rufeng!"

"Which one? The one in armor or the one in the blue robe?"

"You're so stupid! Of course it's the one wearing armor! The one in the blue robe is our Third Prince!"

Wow, it looks so good!

"Wow, how handsome! If he could just glance at this spot, I could die happy!"

"Oh, which young lady is so fortunate—"

"Wow, if he comes to our Flying Immortal Pavilion, I can give him away for free!" A woman's voice was a little lower, but Ru Feng, who had recovered his strength, could still hear it clearly. He couldn't help but twitch his lips and glance at the woman.

"Wow, he's looking this way!"

Wow, he looks even more handsome from the front!

Wow, so cute!

···········

Immediately, many handkerchiefs and similar items were thrown at Ru Feng's head and face.

"Who is that ugly monster standing next to Ru Feng?"

"Exactly! How dare someone so ugly follow Ru Feng around!"

········

"Young Master!" Zhou Qian, who was standing nearby, couldn't hold back any longer. He murmured a soft voice, his face turning bright red.

Ru Feng chuckled. When had she ever seen Zhou Qian like this before? She was so adorable!

Unexpectedly, her smile drove the women even crazier, and they even seemed poised to break through the human wall formed by the soldiers.

Seeing Ru Feng so popular, Yu Xuan felt a little resentful. Why was it that every time he appeared with Ru Feng, everyone's eyes were on Ru Feng, while he was the one being ignored? And why was Ru Feng different this time? He remembered that in the past, Ru Feng would always be all smiles in this situation, never with such a stern face like this. Could it be that he really changed for the Imperial Uncle? Are all people with someone they love like this?

Ru Feng heard his soft hum and couldn't help but laugh, "Why bother arguing with me about this? You're a familiar face in the capital, while I'm new here, so it's normal for everyone to be curious about me."

Yu Xuan simply snorted and said nothing more.

Ru Feng shook her head inwardly, sighed softly, and let the fragrant handkerchiefs be thrown at her. Zhou Qian, on the other hand, dutifully waved the handkerchiefs away, which drew curses from the women.

Ru Feng chuckled inwardly. Fortunately, the long journey was finally over. Ru Feng dismounted, patted the horse's head, and praised it for being so obedient. It wasn't surprised at all by such a lively scene and continued to walk steadily.

Finally arriving before the emperor, Ru Feng had no time to examine the so-called emperor's face before he could only follow his grandfather, heads bowed, to kneel on one knee and shout in unison, "Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor!"

The shouts were deafening, and everyone except the emperor knelt down.

Soon, a dignified voice rang out, strong and clear: "Rise, all of you! My beloved subjects, you have worked hard!"

With synchronized movements, they stood up in a flash.

The emperor offered a few more words of praise, said some things that Ru Feng considered nonsense, and then dismissed the audience.

Taking this opportunity, Ru Feng secretly glanced at the emperor.

He was tall and imposing, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe embroidered with dragon patterns. He had thick eyebrows, eagle eyes, a nose like a whirlwind, a dignified expression, and strong facial features. He looked to be only in his thirties and did not resemble Mu Wenchen much.

In Ru Feng's eyes, this was a stern and unsmiling emperor, but this was an emperor of feudal society, Ru Feng sighed. He never thought he would see an emperor one day.

Seemingly sensing that someone was spying on him, the emperor suddenly scanned sharply, finally staring directly at Ru Feng, his imposing aura overwhelming him.

Startled, Ru Feng realized she had indeed been somewhat reckless. That single glance had revealed an emotion that had deeply disturbed her. For the first time, the emperor's majesty and extraordinary aura truly made her feel insignificant. She quickly lowered her head and, along with the others, bowed again, respectfully wishing the emperor well.

Is this what imperial power is? Ru Feng lowered her head, recalling the glance she had just stolen. She couldn't see Mu Wenchen, nor even Yu Jue. Where did they go?

The crowd respectfully saw the emperor off as he ascended the magnificent dragon palanquin, watching the nine-dragon canopy with its curved handle, and the dragon and phoenix fans surrounding him as he rode away.

Undeniably, after the emperor and the imperial guards left, the remaining people felt much more relaxed. They gathered in twos and threes, and when Feng saw his grandfather exchanging pleasantries with other court officials, he didn't want to disturb them.

Yu Chi Huaiyang, considering that Ru Feng's injuries had not yet healed, directly told Ru Feng to go back.

As if granted a pardon, Ru Feng had no desire to deal with this situation. All she could think about was why Mu Wenchen hadn't appeared. Did he not know she was coming back today? Or was he preoccupied with something and hadn't had time to see her?

At this moment, Yu Xuan walked up to Ru Feng and said, "Ru Feng, are you going to my place or back to the General's Mansion?"

Ru Feng shook his head, glanced at the crowd, and noticed that some people were also looking at him. When they met his gaze, he could only smile slightly as a greeting.
