Rêve de Jiangshan

Chapitre 189

"What punishment?" Ru Feng blurted out, but when she saw the familiar spark in Mu Wenchen's eyes, she understood, and two blushes suddenly appeared on her fair face.

Yu Xuan, watching their interaction, felt uneasy and quickly said loudly, "Let's go in, lest we miss it if we're late."

Like the expression on Feng Jianmu's face, still bearing the dust, he looked around and saw girls pouring out of the gate before they even reached it, constantly glancing at him and the other two, pointing and whispering. Their gazes were direct, naked, filled with admiration, interest, sorrow, and lust...

Ru Feng felt a chill run through her body. She glanced at Yu Xuan, who was looking around, and then at Wen Chen, who was standing straight. She couldn't tell whether she or the other two were more popular.

However, Yu Xuan is fine, but what if it's Wen Chen? I can't allow that.

The thought of Mu Wenchen being taken advantage of by other women made Ru Feng feel uncomfortable, so before they came over, she quickly grabbed Mu Wenchen's hand and walked away.

"Why are we leaving? Aren't we going in?" Yu Xuan followed along, saying with dissatisfaction.

Ru Feng puffed out her cheeks, exhaled, and said, "I don't want to go in anymore. I'll wait until Wu Yan finishes her performance and then sneak in."

"Why? I remember you used to be very interested in it, and I've already bought tickets. It would be such a waste not to see it." Yu Xuan looked at Ru Feng, puzzled. He had spent a lot of money and put in a lot of effort to please Ru Feng.

Ru Feng glared at him and said, "Anyway, I just don't want to go. If the three of us go in like this, who knows if we'll be recognized? My grandfather isn't feeling well right now, and I'm really afraid he'll hear something unpleasant and get upset. That would be really unfilial of me. I can't do that again." With a quick glance, Ru Feng came up with an excuse and said it openly.

Yu Xuan remained silent, but a hint of joy flashed in Mu Wenchen's eyes. He said seriously, "Then let's go somewhere else to kill time. We'll talk about it after this is over. Or, if Ru Feng trusts me, I'll handle Wu Yan's matter. I'll definitely be able to redeem her."

"Really?" Ru Feng's eyes lit up as she looked at Mu Wenchen with delight.

Mu Wenchen nodded, earning a resentful glare from Yuxuan. Uncle, all you know how to do is win Rufeng's favor, how infuriating!

Sure enough, a few days after Ru Feng let go, Mu Wenchen said that he had made arrangements for Ru Feng. She would stay in a certain place for now, and Ru Feng would meet with her later.

Leaving aside the matter of Wu Yan for now, what Ru Feng is most worried about right now is tomorrow's flower viewing banquet.

............

I'll write about the flower-viewing banquet tomorrow; the emperor might make things difficult for Rufeng then.

Chapter 16 Beauty fight

The next day, Ru Feng got up and washed. As usual, Ru Feng went to the training ground.

"Ru Feng, how are the preparations going?" Yu Chi Huaiyang asked while practicing his slow, deliberate boxing techniques.

"It's alright, we don't need to prepare anything," Ru Feng replied, sounding rather listless.

Yu Chi Huaiyang frowned but said nothing.

After everyone finished breakfast together, they went back to their rooms.

As usual, Ru Feng was dressed in a plain long-sleeved blue robe with a simple belt around his waist, and he simply combed his hair neatly.

In contrast, Yu Chi Ruxue got up early in the morning to apply makeup and tried on her clothes repeatedly.

When the time came, the two walked out of the room together and met at the door.

Looking at Ru Xue in her lake-blue dress, Ru Feng smiled. She wore a dazzling and exquisite jade beaded headdress; her hair was styled in a high bun with a white jade ornament hanging from it; jade earrings swayed slightly at her ears; two braids were pulled down to her waist; and two strands of black hair were close to her temples, making her face look like a crescent moon, beautiful and unparalleled, as if she were only seventeen or eighteen years old.

"She really knows how to dress!" Ru Feng exclaimed. "Her smile is enchanting, her eyes are bright and beautiful. She is like a beautiful woman in a secluded valley, elegant and peerless. I can't help but feel sorry for her!"

Upon hearing this, Ru Xue glanced at Ru Feng with displeasure and said, "Your little brother is just glib."

Ru Feng chuckled, but quickly suppressed his smile upon seeing Yu Chi Huaiyang, putting on a serious expression.

"Why are you dressed like this?" Yu Chi Huaiyang glared at Xiaoyao Zhong, who was riding high, and said, "You are a martial artist, why are you dressed like a scholar?"

Ru Feng puffed out her cheeks slightly and said, "Grandpa, I was originally a scholar, and don't you think my figure is more suitable for this kind of attire? Besides, most women nowadays like scholars." Sigh, it seems that no matter what she does, her grandfather will find fault. And since she hadn't planned to bring anyone back today, of course she couldn't dress up elaborately. But Ru Feng couldn't bring herself to make herself look ugly, so she could only dress as usual, except that her clothes were made of high-quality fabric and her hair was neatly combed.

Yu Chi Huaiyang frowned, his thick eyebrows slightly gray, and remained silent.

Lin Yilan and Yuchi Song beside him looked at Rufeng nervously. Rufeng smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Father and Mother."

"It's almost time, hurry up and go. Remember what you said yesterday," Yu Chi Huaiyang said, glancing at the horses and sedan chair that had already been prepared.

Ru Feng and Ru Xue nodded, preparing to leave.

Just then, a bird's cry suddenly rang out. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and frowned. There, perched on the eaves, was a completely black crow.

Ru Feng exclaimed, "It's a crow! Good heavens, I haven't seen one in so long!"

"Ru Feng!" Lin Yilan snapped, looking at her with displeasure. A crow! Seeing it so early in the morning is definitely not a good omen, yet she was so excited.

Ru Feng then remembered the ancients' taboo against crows, and could only stick out his tongue in frustration.

Ru Xue looked at the crow with a pale face and said, "Brother, will something have happened?"

"No, it won't happen," Ru Feng comforted him. "I'm here, I'll protect you." Ru Feng patted his chest. Yesterday, Zui Yue came to see him, saying she had researched some kind of medicine that could restore Ru Feng's internal energy to eighty percent of his usual level, and even if he used his internal energy, it wouldn't harm his wounds. Of course, it would be best not to use it. So, Zui Yue is truly a talented researcher. Ru Feng sighed inwardly.

Riding a BMW, Ru Feng followed Ru Xue's sedan chair, with more than a dozen guards accompanying them, including Zhou Qian.

Along the way, the handsome, androgynous young man smiled, his eyes fixed straight ahead, occasionally glancing to the side, attracting the attention of passersby. It was as if wherever he looked was bathed in a spring-like glow, even though it was early autumn.

"Heavens! That's Young Master Rufeng!" a young girl exclaimed, covering her face with her hands and her eyes sparkling with hearts.

“Yes, yes!” someone echoed.
