It is Beitang Yujian.

He didn't even bother to say hello to this person.

However, I hope he remembers what she told him that night when they were eating noodles and drinking.

The procession moved slowly forward. Although there was light snow, the official road was well-maintained and not too difficult to traverse, and everything proceeded in an orderly fashion. Apart from the occasional exclamations of surprise from the young prince of Danning, there were no other noises around.

Tang Leyan pulled the horse along, oblivious to everyone else, her gaze fixed straight ahead.

Meanwhile, Chu Gexing finally couldn't help but ask, "Hey, did you really praise me that much?" Chu Gexing looked at the person next to him, which was really strange. This person actually praised him so much in front of Uncle Zhen. He was probably just being nice for no reason, and there must be some ulterior motive.

Tang Leyan glanced at him sideways, as if she had seen through his thoughts, and suddenly sneered.

Chu Gexing asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Tang Leyan thought to herself: If I said I wanted to kick you far away... I wonder if you would be furious. After thinking about it, she decided not to provoke him, so she stretched from her horse and said lazily, "It's nothing. I was just seriously thinking about what the duties of a deputy envoy are."

Chu Gexing's expression changed: "What do you mean?"

Tang Leyan tilted her head: "What do you think? A higher rank can crush you, hahaha." She started laughing wildly, then swallowed a few snowflakes. The icy taste finally made her shut her mouth.

Seeing her disheveled appearance, Chu Gexing remained silent.

Tang Leyan, disregarding her image, spat twice. Scratching her head, she said, "As far as I know, the deputy envoy seems to be my assistant. Hmm, he has so many responsibilities. Let me think... Now that we're out of the city, what should the deputy envoy do? Oh, right. Could you please ask the princess if she's cold, if she wants anything to eat, or something like that?"

“That’s not within my job responsibilities,” Chu Gexing said.

"I command you, do you dare disobey?" Tang Leyan raised her eyes, exuding official authority.

Chu Gexing looked at her smug expression, and after a long while, he gave a cold laugh and said, "Then this subordinate obeys, sir!"

Without saying another word, he twisted his waist, grabbed the reins, turned the horse around, and prepared to leave.

Tang Leyan called out again, "Hey! You there. Wait a minute."

Chu Ge Xing stopped his horse and waited.

Tang Leyan said, "Hey, go check on that young prince again. That kid is acting like he's never seen snow before, howling and wailing all the way. Tell him to control himself. I'm about to be driven crazy by his noise. This is a peace and love delegation, not a mission to send him to the underworld."

Chu Gexing rolled his eyes again: "Understood, sir."

"Good girl. Go on, go on." Tang Leyan waved softly in her ear. Soon after, Tang Leyan rode forward on her horse. She shook the snow off her cloak, then wondered if she should be more melancholic to match the touching atmosphere of leaving Chu Zhen.

Just as I was sighing and contemplating, I heard the sound of horses' hooves approaching from behind.

She thought it was Chu Gexing who had returned, and hurriedly thought of what else she could assign him to do.

Turning around, he was met with a person dressed entirely in white.

The young prince of Daning Kingdom, Feng Feisheng, was dressed entirely in white. His snow-white mink hat was particularly striking. If it weren't for his expressive features, he would have looked like a vixen reborn.

"I didn't expect the marriage envoy to be you." Feng Feisheng arrived with an excited expression, brushing the snowflakes off the horse's ears.

Tang Leyan raised her chin slightly and said, "What's wrong, young master? Are you not satisfied? It's too late if you are. Also, your smile is too scary. Tone it down. It's too cold here and your teeth may freeze off."

"Not at all, I'm very satisfied." Feng Feisheng pulled his teeth back, but still smiled and said, "If Brother Le can go to Danning, I, Feng Feisheng, can do my best to be a good host."

"Tsk tsk, that sounds rather scary," Tang Leyan said with a good sense of self-awareness.

"That's what he thinks because he feels guilty," Feng Feisheng said with a meaningful smile.

"What do I have to be ashamed of? It's you who's guilty..."

Tang Leyan pointed at Feng Feisheng's attire: "Young Master, you'd better behave yourself. If you can ride in a sedan chair, then ride in a sedan chair. If you dress up like this and keep running around, be careful you don't fall into a snowdrift and get lost."

Feng Feisheng glared at her: "Leyan! Just because you are the bestowed marriage envoy doesn't mean you can be disrespectful to this young master."

"Compared to that, I find your inexplicable hostility towards me more interesting."

"Don't you harbor any hostility towards me?"

"It's alright," Tang Leyan said shamelessly.

Feng Feisheng smiled helplessly: "Look, you can't even be bothered to give a perfunctory answer."

"Because I need to save my energy to deal with even more terrifying people," she blurted out unintentionally.

"Hmm?" Feng Feisheng blinked and looked over.

"No, nothing, you didn't hear anything." Tang Leyan coughed and turned to look.

Among the wedding procession was a man on a white horse, dressed in dark official robes, agile and nimble, with a face that was unforgettable. This man stood out wherever he went.

Seeing that Tang Leyan remained silent, Feng Feisheng turned to look with her. When they saw Chu Gexing, they were slightly taken aback and couldn't help but praise, "How beautiful!"

Tang Leyan laughed instead of getting angry when she heard this scoundrel speak so rudely.

Feng Feisheng turned to look at her and said without reservation, "Lord Chu is truly a beauty, almost..."

“Hmm, let me guess what you didn’t say… almost… not like a man?” Tang Leyan interjected.

Feng Feisheng coughed and said, "You can't say that, although..." He couldn't help but turn his head to look again, thinking to himself: It is indeed a bit like that.

Tang Leyan saw his shifty eyes and the way he almost drooled, and her heart skipped a beat. She blinked rapidly, her eyes darting around, and suddenly said, "You look quite delectable, don't you?"

"Yes, that's right," Feng Feisheng answered involuntarily.

Tang Leyan burst into laughter.

Feng Feisheng then realized he had misspoke and immediately turned his head away.

Unexpectedly, Tang Leyan immediately leaned over and said mysteriously, "Brother Feng, actually I have no hostility towards you. To be honest, perhaps it's because of various misunderstandings that things have turned out this way..."

"Really?" Feng Feisheng asked warily, unsure of her intentions.

"Yes, yes, actually, to express my sincerity..." Tang Leyan reached out and touched her chin, glancing at Chu Gexing, and said in a low voice, "I've decided to tell you a huge secret, Brother Feng."

Feng Feisheng asked suspiciously, "What secret?"

"Of course, it's a secret that will interest you, and even make you ecstatic."

"Is this true?" Feng Feisheng asked.

“Absolutely true,” Tang Leyan said.

"What exactly is that?"

Tang Leyan lowered her head: "Come closer."

Just as she had said, Feng Feisheng peeked over. The two began to whisper to each other.

Chu Gexing, who was inspecting the group, suddenly felt a burning gaze peering over from the front of the group.

Chu Gexing frowned and turned to look.

But then they saw a snow-white figure riding away hurriedly from ahead.

Meanwhile, the envoy who had bestowed the marriage upon Tang Leyan remained on horseback. Feeling carefree and inspired, she no longer wished to cultivate a melancholy mood. Reaching for her fan at her waist, she gently waved it, reciting aloud as the horse swayed: "By the broken bridge on the post road, a lonely flower blooms, ownerless. Already dusk, alone in sorrow, further burdened by wind and rain..."

Also, if you haven't collected "Becoming an Immortal While Sitting Still," remember to do so!

Chapter 149 of Yanshui Road in Jiangnan: A Night Visit

As dusk fell, the convoy stopped in a town outside Shundu.

Ever since she saw the wooden sign standing outside the town, Tang Leyan had been incredibly excited.

Specifically, what excited her most wasn't the expensive plaque itself, but rather the words on it.

In the reflection of the snow, Tang Leyan could see clearly the four large characters written in bold ink: "Hometown of Hot Springs".

When he saw it clearly, the envoy who bestowed the marriage almost let out a cheer similar to that of the young prince of Daning seeing snow.

Seeing her entranced expression, Chu Gexing couldn't help but say, "We have a mission to complete, we're not here for leisure."

Tang Leyan glanced at him: "You'll need to stay somewhere eventually, won't you, my esteemed deputy envoy?"

When Chu Gexing heard the words "my deputy envoy," his neck stiffened. Looking at her arrogant expression, he snorted and said, "Yes, sir."

Tang Leyan happily dismounted, looking as if she wanted to make full use of her authority to enjoy a wonderful snowy night at the hot springs.

Chu Gexing dismounted and watched her leap away gracefully, unable to help but shake his head slightly.

Chu Zhen was indeed prescient, actually pairing him up with her.

It's obvious they're using him as a personal bodyguard and a capable assistant.

Tang Leyan truly understood Chu Zhen's good intentions and exploited him to the fullest extent.

However, while thinking this to himself, Chu Gexing also thought: If he were to be the official envoy bestowing the marriage, he would probably do the exact same thing as Tang Leyan.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile helplessly. He turned around to check the team and assign guards, and also to meet with the town officials who had come to welcome him, so as to make proper arrangements for the princess's accommodations.

Just as he turned around to look for someone, a figure appeared in front of him.

Feng Feisheng stood before Chu Gexing, looking as handsome as a jade tree in the wind.

With a flick of his wrist, the fan unfurled in mid-air.

A few words are uniquely displayed on the fan surface.

Chu Gexing raised his eyes and first looked at his face, which was smiling so much that it was almost like a lovesick fool.

Then I looked at the words on his fan that were clearly provocative.

Then, lowering his eyes, he asked calmly, "Young Master, do you have any grievances against me?"

Feng Feisheng was stunned, only then noticing the flaw in his fan. "You'll see," he thought, referring to someone who wasn't Le Yan... Moreover, Le Yan had now become his "good friend." The two who had previously been at odds with each other like dogs had suddenly made peace. The reason, of course, was that Le Yan had generously shared a little secret with him.

That "secret" that drove Feng Feisheng almost mad.

Almost frantically, Feng Feisheng carefully put away his fan.

Chu Gexing looked at him with the same gaze one would give a lowly animal. Then he turned and continued walking.

Feng Feisheng hesitated for a moment, his lips moved, and he finally managed to utter, "Brother Chu... Brother Chu."

Upon hearing this peculiar title, Chu Gexing couldn't help but shudder.

The last "brother" came out with great difficulty, and thankfully it did. Otherwise, Chu Gexing would have thought that Feng Feisheng had met a close female confidante.

After confirming that it was being called, the feeling was like a dog that had been soaking in warm water climbing ashore and then being suddenly hit by a chilling gust of wind.

Chu Gexing turned his head and looked at Feng Feisheng with a puzzled expression.

Feng Feisheng immediately displayed his invincible smile.

Chu Gexing found this kind of laughter rather terrifying. A thought involuntarily came to mind: He wasn't laughing; he was just showing his teeth.
