Song Xingzhi vivió durante el reinado del emperador Huizong

Capítulo 231

An older student walked by and gave Zhong Wuji a sympathetic look. He whispered to his friend, "This guy is really asking for trouble. He's staring at Teacher Rufeng during class!"

"He's made us laugh again!" His friend said gleefully, raising an eyebrow and glancing around.

When Ru Feng heard Zhong Wuji's words, he subconsciously looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that Zhou Qian was not there. He said, "Don't say that next time. I am your teacher. Although everyone has a love for beauty, I am your teacher, so you'd better keep it to yourself and not say it out loud, lest you encounter any misfortune." His tone was earnest.

Zhong Wuji stared at her stubbornly and said, "I traveled all the way to Fengxian Academy just to see you, teacher. You are really beautiful! I am honored that you are my student."

As soon as he said this, the students around him gathered around and started talking all at once about Ru Feng's rather glorious past.

"Teacher, I buy every issue of your travel journal. It's really beautiful. Can I go with you to see those places next time?" a student asked eagerly.

Ru Feng's lips twitched slightly, and she could only say tactfully, "You still have class." Besides, she and Wen Chen were going sightseeing, and if someone else suddenly joined them, Wen Chen might not be happy.

The bell rang suddenly, and Ru Feng, who was surrounded, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's all for today. See you next time." After saying that, he picked up his quiver and walked briskly away from everyone's sight.

"I really wish the teacher would wear women's clothes! I heard they look really good!" someone said.

“Men’s clothes look just as good now!” Zhong Wuji retorted. His teacher was the most unique teacher he had ever met. He was knowledgeable, skilled in martial arts, and treated people with kindness. Plus, he was so handsome… Thinking of this, his face suddenly turned red with embarrassment. He was completely unaware that he had been blacklisted by someone.

The next day, Zhong Wuji was hit by an unknown pebble, fracturing a bone and spending ten days in bed. It turned out that anyone who drooled over Teacher Rufeng in class would subsequently "get sick" for a while.

The next day, when Ru Feng returned from class, she was surprised to find Wen Chen nowhere to be seen. He was always home waiting for her.

"Mu Tong, where's Wen Chen?" Ru Feng asked as Mu Tong happened to be passing by.

Mu Tong shook his head and said, "It seems that Master has gone out to practice his skills." But his expression seemed to be suppressing a laugh.

Ru Feng responded with a sound of agreement, then looked at him suspiciously.

After waiting for a while in the pavilion on the high platform, just as Ru Feng was about to fall asleep, Wen Chen finally returned.

"Chen!" Ru Feng cheered, leaped over, and threw herself into his arms, saying, "I missed you so much."

Mu Wenchen was very happy to hear this, and hugged Rufeng, saying, "Then it's only right."

"Where did you go?" Ru Feng asked, pouting. "You promised to go with me to watch the sunset tonight, but you're only coming back now. The sun is almost setting, and it's too late to climb up now."

Mu Wenchen reluctantly said, "Someone has come to our house, so I'm going out to greet them." As he spoke, he turned to the side, revealing the person behind him.

Ru Feng stared wide-eyed and was stunned.

Yu Xuan waved his folding fan leisurely and said with a smile, "Ru Feng, I'm here!" He then opened his arms, waiting for Ru Feng to throw herself into his embrace.

Yun Tianze pushed him away, put his hands behind his back, and laughed, "Ru Feng, I'm here." He also revealed an enticing smile as he looked at Ru Feng.

Upon seeing them, Ru Feng was overjoyed and pushed Mu Wenchen aside, rushing over to them, grabbing their hands and shaking them frantically, saying, "It's been a year since we last met, I missed you so much! Why didn't you tell me you were coming?" She completely forgot that her husband was standing right behind her, and was already furious upon hearing her words.

Mu Tong, standing nearby, glanced at her master with sympathy. The correspondence between the mistress and them was already enough to give her master trouble, but this was even more extreme—directly saying "I miss you" to her master's face. It seemed her master had quite a few rivals.

Mu Wenchen coughed lightly and said, "Rufeng, why don't you invite the guest to have a seat?"

Upon hearing the warning cough, Ru Feng quickly said, "Let's go sit down." He then walked through the bamboo grove's makeshift doorway and said, "This way."

Yu Xuan chuckled inwardly and said, "Ru Feng, you seem quite afraid of your royal uncle." Although he couldn't marry Ru Feng, he couldn't let his royal uncle have it too easy.

Ru Feng just chuckled a few times. She finally understood that Mu Wenchen was a jealous person, but a hidden one. He rarely showed it in front of others, but he became even more jealous in private. And his most powerful move was in... cough cough... bed.

"How could that be?" Ru Feng laughed, changing the subject, "Why are you here?" He hadn't even answered his own question yet.

Yun Tianze withdrew his gaze from looking around and said, "I'm sending my imperial sister here for a marriage alliance."

Upon hearing this, Ru Feng turned to Yu Xuan and said, "Congratulations, Xuan, on marrying such a beautiful bride."

Yu Xuan glanced at the calm-faced Mu Wenchen, bit her lip, and said, "Yes, yes! But Tianze should also congratulate him. My sister Belle likes him very much."

Yun Tianze glared at him but didn't say anything.

Just as the atmosphere was getting a little awkward, Ru Feng had no choice but to ask again, "Why isn't Jue here?" She used to call Yu Jue "brother," but now that she was their aunt, Ru Feng had turned the tables and was calling them by their names with an air of self-importance.

“My brother and your sister have only recently gotten married, so it’s not appropriate for them to come here.” A month ago, my brother ascended the throne and then married Ruxue as his concubine.

Ru Feng responded. Since the emperor was still alive and hadn't yet gone on his travels, Ru Feng and Wen Chen didn't return, which was Ru Feng's biggest regret. However, the thought of her sister being only Yu Jue's concubine made Ru Feng feel awkward, but since her sister had done it willingly, Ru Feng couldn't do anything about it.

"Say something!" Ru Feng nudged Mu Wenchen's side. This guy stood there silently, just staring at people. What kind of behavior was that?

"What did you say?" Mu Wenchen replied slowly, then looked at Mu Tong and said, "Go prepare dinner. You can eat here tonight."

Yu Xuan and Yun Tianze readily agreed.

Looking at their more handsome and mature faces, Ru Feng remarked with emotion, "In just one year, everyone seems to have matured a lot."

Looking at his still lively demeanor, Yu Xuan said, "You haven't changed much."

Yun Tianze interjected, "She's not as dashing as before; she's got the air of a young married woman now." He then winked at Ru Feng.

Ru Feng's face flushed instantly, while Mu Wenchen smiled proudly.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ru Feng glared at him.

Yun Tianze opened his white jade fan and waved it, asking, "Ru Feng, are you pregnant?"

Yu Xuan's gaze immediately turned towards them.

Ru Feng scratched his head upon hearing this, glanced at Yun Tianze, and said, "It's not the right time yet. I think I'm still too young. Let's talk about it in a few years." Anyway, Wen Chen wasn't in a hurry, and neither were his parents. It was his grandfather who was extremely anxious, staring at his belly every time they met. His grandfather now only held the title of general in the court and hardly participated in any affairs. So, in Luoyan City, they were practically relying on Gao Yueqi, but that kid was having a tough time; he'd been chasing Yi Han for so long without success, making Ru Feng wish he could fly over there himself to teach him a lesson.

"Not yet? Ru Feng, I'm already twenty-one years old," Yun Tianze said meaningfully.
