Chapter 1052: Chapter 892 Street Rumors?_3

Ji Youzhi responded with a "Yes!" upon hearing the words. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Outside, Eunuch Ling reported, "Your Majesty, Princess Lianchun has been standing outside the Yangxin Palace for a while!"

"Why is my royal sister standing outside the Yangxin Palace?"

The Emperor was puzzled.

Ji Youzhi stood up and said, "It’s likely that Princess Lianchun is here for me!"

"Are you saying..."

Ji Youzhi nodded.

The Emperor waved his hand, "Go! Be mindful of your words and phrases when speaking!"

Ji Youzhi clasped his hands in farewell and left!

The cold wind was howling, and the snow was fluttering down from the sky. Princess Lianchun wore a red coat embroidered with lotus flowers in gold thread, draped with a matching cloak.

Seeing Ji Youzhi, there was no joy or sorrow on her face as she quietly watched him approach.

Listening to him greet her!

"Greetings to Princess Lianchun, I hope the Princess is well!"

Princess Lianchun let out a light laugh and said, "Do I look well to you?"

Ji Youzhi looked solemn, reaching out to catch a few snowflakes in his palm, showing them to Princess Lianchun and said.

"Princess, please look. The snowflakes that fell into my hand have now vanished. Princess, some matters are just like these snowflakes. Once they are past, they remain in the past. As long as you don’t dwell on them, they too will leave no trace just like these snowflakes!"

Princess Lianchun stood still, staring fixedly at Ji Youzhi’s palm in front of her.

The snow continued to fall from the sky, occasionally landing in his palm, but ultimately warming and melting!

Forcing a slight movement of her lips, she finally said.

"The snow is falling beautifully. Divine Hunter Ji, accompany this Palace to watch the snow!"

"Yes!"

Princess Lianchun took the lead in walking forward, with Ji Youzhi following at a leisurely pace.

Unknowingly, the two of them ended up in the back Garden, in the depths of winter, except for a few wintersweet trees blooming appropriately, other flowers, grasses, and trees slept seasonably.

"Divine Hunter Ji, look! How is that cluster of plum blossoms blooming?"

Princess Lianchun pointed at a corner wall, looking at a fairly flourishing red plum, asking Ji Youzhi.

Princess Lianchun followed her hand’s direction and looked at the plum blossom, speaking only after quite some time: "Compared to the other plum trees, this one could be considered outstanding!"

"My mother consort, like that plum blossom, wasn’t the most beautiful, but she was one of the best. She was unwilling to be ordinary, uncompromising in the face of fate, desiring to fight, to strive for, and to win the unique heart of the most noble man in the world."

Ji Youzhi responded to her words.

"Because she was unwilling to be ordinary, not wanting to submit to others, desiring to fight, to strive— all these I understand. But if the wrong methods are used, even if she could go against the natural order, it won’t be tolerated by Celestial Dao, destined to be bleak!"

With those words, Princess Lianchun had a realization in her heart.

"Before coming to find you, I thought several times; if this matter indeed was Mother’s mistake, Father Emperor personally punished her, how unbearable would my heart be?

But now, I somehow feel that this is the just outcome!"

Ji Youzhi stood beside her, silently saying nothing!

"Divine Hunter Ji! Tell me the truth about the matter!"

Ji Youzhi raised his head upon hearing this, staring steadily at Princess Lianchun.

"Is the Princess sure she truly wants to hear it?"

"A child doesn’t speak of a mother’s fault, nor do they despise their mother’s shortcomings. Even if I know everything, she is still my mother consort, but even so, this Palace has the right to know the truth! Don’t I?"

Ji Youzhi nodded and finally started to recount the matter one piece at a time, and this talk went on for almost half an hour.

After hearing, Princess Lianchun could barely stand, her body on the verge of collapse.

Ji Youzhi looked at her worriedly.

"Princess Lianchun! You..."

Princess Lianchun braced one hand on a nearby column, waved the other hand at Ji Youzhi, "You may leave now! Let this Palace be alone for a moment!"

Ji Youzhi hesitated, Princess Lianchun’s voice tinged with a sobbing tone, "Do not disturb this Palace, leave at once!"

Understanding that Princess Lianchun was feeling distressed, Ji Youzhi thought it over and eventually departed.

On his way out of the Palace, he encountered Xie Pan’Er coming from Yangxin Palace.

Ji Youzhi called out to her, "Pan’Er!"

Xie Pan’Er looked at him, "Seventh Brother! What’s the matter?"

Hearing Xie Pan’Er directly change her address to "Seventh Brother"!

Ji Youzhi was momentarily stunned.

Seeing his dazed expression, Xie Pan’Er burst into laughter with a snort.

"Just now, the Emperor told me that Old Madam Ji has decided to take me as an adopted daughter, from now on, I will consider every member of the Ji family as family, wholeheartedly and sincerely!

The first step is to start by changing the way I address people!"

Xie Pan’Er was practically gritting her teeth as she spoke those words to Ji Youzhi.

Her gaze seemed as if she intended to devour Ji Youzhi, making him feel a tingling sensation all over, he immediately took three steps back, crossed his arms over his chest, and looked at her with a guarded expression, murmuring, "You... what do you mean?"
