Xiao Junci rode his horse, leading a team of men, while the guards at the entrance of the Prince Mansion were all sternly prepared, faces alert.
"Princess Feng, a day apart feels as long as three autumns."
Xiao Junci dismounted, his fierce eyes unapologetically fixated on Feng Bailing’s captivating face.
Beautiful, truly beautiful.
Whether it was her eyes, nose, or lips, all were beautiful, especially those eyes that radiated defiance, like a wild mare, inciting the desire to conquer.
"Regent King, you should address me as Princess Consort Wu."
Feng Bailing bluntly corrected Xiao Junci’s words.
"Not to hide from the princess, I know a bit about physiognomy. It’s clear Dugu Wu has a short-lived face; Princess Feng, you’ll soon be a widow. When that time comes, remember to visit me in Beiqi, for I, understand you better."
Xiao Junci’s demeanor turned suggestive as he attempted to move closer.
Bang—
Suddenly, a small stone flew from a hidden spot, hitting right at Xiao Junci’s forehead.
Xiao Junci’s eyebrow twitched, ready to explode, but then he saw Feng Xiaoli running to Feng Bailing’s side, making faces at him with a handful of small pebbles in her hand.
"Regent King, I too understand a bit of physiognomy. I see that you are physically weak and short of breath, with a pallor under your eyes indicating kidney deficiency; you really need to take good care of yourself."
Feng Bailing’s words turned Xiao Junci’s face dark.
"Feng Bailing, are you really so deluded? You and your mother, if you come with me back to Beiqi, it would be much better than staying in Great Chu."
"Regent King, before you leave Great Chu, pay the accommodation fees owed to the Princess’ Mansion first, and also, our wager..."
Feng Bailing disregarded Xiao Junci.
"Feng Bailing, I have good intentions, but you won’t listen. Great Chu seems prosperous, but without Dugu Wu guarding the border, relying solely on Mu Sheng, it’s unreliable. If several northern countries invade, you won’t even gather enough military rations."
Xiao Junci scoffed coldly, took out a silver note, and with a flamboyant gesture, kissed the note, his eyes gleaming with aggressive greed.
After speaking, Xiao Junci threw the silver note flying towards Feng Bailing.
Feng Bailing was green with anger.
Seen ostentatious, but never this ostentatious.
Xiao Junci spurred his horse, and both rider and horse bolted away like an arrow.
Vice General Zhou and his soldiers followed closely, orderly withdrawing in moments.
Feng Bailing glanced at the silver note, pondering what to do, when Princess Consort Shun, Princess Mingyue, and Princess Anyang came out laughing and chatting.
"Mother-in-law~ this is for you."
Feng Xiaoli hurriedly ran forward, picked up the silver note and handed it to Princess Consort Shun.
This silver note has that annoying person’s saliva on it; Her Majesty wouldn’t care for it.
Originally, Princess Consort Shun was not pleased upon seeing Feng Bailing and her daughter, but upon seeing the silver note in Feng Xiaoli’s hand—wow, three thousand taels.
Princess Consort Shun’s expression immediately improved, joyfully pocketing the silver note.
"You’re more sensible than your mother."
She glanced again at Feng Bailing.
"Since everybody’s here, and there’s nothing better to do, why not take the children to Chuyue Tower for tea? Crown Princess Consort is hosting a banquet; all the prominent ladies of Chu City will be there. You just got married; it’s good to socialize more with the other manors."
"The pastries at Chuyue Tower taste different; I’m not used to them."
Feng Bailing pulled Feng Xiaoli aside, ignoring the puzzled Princess Consort Shun.
"Majesty, what flavor does Chuyue Tower’s pastries have?"
Feng Xiaoli wondered.
"Green tea flavor."
Feng Bailing grimaced.
Just as Feng Bailing returned home, she heard from the guard that Lady Lai from Xinqi Village had delivered some fruits and vegetables to the kitchen.
"Princess Consort, these are freshly harvested fruits and vegetables from our village; I’ve prepared a few portions for you to enjoy something fresh."
Lady Lai spoke while presenting a large basket of fresh fruits and vegetables.
Having moved to Prince Shun’s Mansion, missing the small vegetable garden in East Garden, what Feng Bailing missed the most was the food.
"How is the harvest in the village?"
Feng Bailing smiled as she accepted the fruits and vegetables, seeing Feng Xiaoli and Xiao Tian playing beside, she pulled Lady Lai aside to ask.
"It’s good, all crops, fruits, and grains have had a bountiful harvest. Livestock are also raised well, but we can’t consume so much by ourselves and selling is a challenge as we do not know the channels."
Lady Lai was both happy and worried; Xinqi Village was truly a blessed land for agriculture.
But with a bountiful harvest came its own dilemmas.
"Selling grains is still manageable, I spoke to Boss Ouyang, and she said she could figure out a way to help us sell. But fruits and vegetables are difficult to transport for long distances, she doesn’t have a method for that."
"You’ve come at the right time; I just happen to introduce you to someone. I have a friend who is into restaurant business."
Feng Bailing sent for Ouyang Chenchen.
Soon, Ouyang Chenchen arrived, and upon entering, she immediately asked.
"Today Drunken Immortal Inn reopens, won’t you come and visit?"
Ouyang Chenchen and Feng Bailing jointly operated Drunken Immortal Inn, and after being closed for several days for remodeling, today was the re-opening day.
