“I’m fine. Since we’re in Xichu now, it’s time to think of a way to do what the former King of Youshan instructed me to do,” Feng Yili said lightly as his eyes glinted coldly.

Early in the morning.

Yu Yunxi was woken up by the commotion outside. She and Meng Xia went out to have a look together.

The people from the Eldest Princess’ Residence were moving things over, and the people from the imperial palace also came with them.

Li Xu instructed the servants to bring small and large boxes of items. After that, he walked over to Yu Yunxi and said respectfully, “Eldest Princess, although you refused the first reward, the Emperor Emeritus still instructed me to send the reward over to you.”

Li Xu told the servants to open the boxes, revealing valuable items inside. Any one of the items was enough to allow an ordinary person to live without worry about food and clothing for the rest of his or her life.

Yu Xiaoxiao, Madam Shang, and the others saw these things as soon as they arrived. Their eyes widened in shock and shone with greed. They felt as though they were going to die from jealousy. After all, Yu Yunxi’s treatment was too good. The Emperor Emeritus, Chu Ruishi, bestowed her with so many things. Even the few princesses in the imperial palace had never received such a treatment. 𝑓𝑟𝘦𝘦𝓌𝘦𝑏𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸ℴ𝘮

“Mother…” Yu Xiaoxiao called out unhappily, tugging at Madam Shang’s sleeve. She wanted those things.

Madam Shang patted the back of Yu Xiaoxiao’s hand, silently comforting Yu

Xiaoxiao. At the same time, a covetous expression appeared briefly on her face. She did not expect Yu Yunxi to bring so many valuable things here. In her opinion, the things would eventually be theirs as well if Yu Yunxi stayed in the King of Zhenbei’s Residence. With this, she felt that she had to revise her initial plan to drive Yu Yunxi out of the King of Zhenbei’s Residence.

After a moment, Madam Shang smiled and walked toward Li Xu with Yu

Xiaoxiao.

“Eunuch Li, you’re here.”

Li Xu’s smile faded when he heard Madam Shang’s voice. He only nodded slightly in response.

Madam Shang looked at Yu Yunxi affectionately as she slowly said, “Yunxi, did you sleep well last night? I went out last night and personally bought some things for you. It was too late when I returned and I didn’t want to disturb your rest so I didn’t come.”

“Second Aunt, you’re very considerate. However, the things I need have already been moved over. I won’t trouble you anymore,” Yu Yunxi said lightly.

Madam Shang’s smile froze when she heard these words. At the same time, she cursed inwardly. If it were not for the fact that she wanted to put on a show in front of Li Xu, she would not have bothered saying those words.

Finally, Madam Shang took a deep breath before she responded with a smile, “Alright then.”

Li Xu stepped forward at this moment and said, “Eldest Princess, the Emperor

Emeritus also said that the Grand Tutor will come in a few days and help you to prepare for the assessment of the Capital Academy that’ll be held three months later.”

Then, Li Xu lowered his voice before he continued to say, “Eldest Princess, the

Emperor Emeritus has high hopes for you. You can’t disappoint him.”

Yu Yunxi lowered her gaze, looking docile as she said, “I know. I won’t disappoint Grandfather.”

Madam Shang naturally heard the duo’s conversation. An idea appeared in her mind, and she hurriedly said, “Yunxi, Eunuch Li, are both of you talking about the Capital Academy’s assessment? After the palace banquet last night, the

Empress summoned Xiaoxiao to see her. Xiaoxiao will soon become the Crown Prince’s side consort. The daughter-in-law of the imperial family naturally has to be well-educated. The Empress hopes that Xiaoxiao will participate in the assessment as well. If the Grand Tutor is coming to the residence to teach

Yunxi, I wonder if..

Madam Shang trailed off, looking at Yu Yunxi with a probing gaze.

Meng Xia, who was standing behind Yu Yunxi, rolled her eyes. After all, Madam Shang’s thoughts were written all over her face. It was clear that Madam Shang wanted the Grand Tutor to teach Yu Xiaoxiao as well.

There were two Grand Tutors in Xichu: Grand Tutor Song and Grand Tutor Dong. Back then, the duo had taught the Emperor and the Crown Prince respectively, and they were highly respected. It was not easy for others to receive guidance from them.

It was an honor that the Emperor Emeritus had specially given Yu Yunxi, but Madam Shang shamelessly wanted to take advantage of it.

Seeing that Yu Yunxi was silent, Madam Shang frowned. She feigned a disappointed expression on her face and said, “Yunxi, Xiaoxiao is your younger sister. She’s very studious as well. If she’s able to receive guidance from the

Grand Tutor, she’ll definitely be able to pass the Capital Academy’s assessment.

With that, she’ll also bring glory to the King of Zhenbei’s Residence.”

Madam Shang continued to say without taking a breath, “Moreover, since the Grand Tutor is coming to teach you, it won’t make a difference for him to teach another person. Why don’t you ask Eunuch Li to tell the Emperor Emeritus that the Grand Tutor will also teach Xiaoxiao when the Grand Tutor comes to the residence? After all, Xiaoxiao will marry into the imperial family in the future, and she’ll be even closer to you…

Li Xu, who was standing at the side, had been by Chu Ruishi’s side since he was a child. He had seen all kinds of tricks in the palace, and he could naturally see through Madam Shang’s intentions. His expression gradually turned cold as he listened to Madam Shang.

‘The second branch of the Yu family has occupied the King of Zhenbei’s Residence for too long that they’ve forgotten their own identities!’

Li Xu looked at Yu Yunxi worriedly, wondering inwardly, ‘Will the Eldest

Princess be bullied by the second branch of the Yu family?’

At this time, Yu Yunxi suddenly covered her mouth and laughed. Then, she said, “Second Aunt, I naturally hope that Sister Xiaoxiao can study with me…” Madam Shang’s eyes lit up as soon as she heard these words.

‘As expected, Yu Yunxi is a brainless coward who’s easily manipulated!’ Li Xu was very anxious when he heard this. He called out, “Eldest Princess!”

‘She’s the incomparably noble Eldest Princess. She doesn’t have to care about these people…’

Yu Yunxi’s smile widened as she continued to say slowly, “Of course, I hope that she can study with me, but the Empress values her. It’s better to let the Empress make the arrangements for her.”

Madam Shang’s face fell immediately. If the Empress was willing to send the Grand Tutor to teach Yu Xiaoxiao, she would not have lowered herself to beg others. The Empress wanted Yu Xiaoxiao to work hard, but the Empress was unwilling to help Yu Xiaoxiao.

Madam Shang did not give up. She continued to say, “There’s no need to trouble Her Majesty. Yunxi, you can just tell the Emperor Emeritus…”

Yu Yunxi’s voice turned cold as she interjected, “Xiaoxiao is someone the

Empress values. Are you trying to get me to interfere and embarrass the

Empress? Second Aunt, don’t tell me you want me to offend the Empress?”

Madam Shang was slightly flustered. She explained, “Yunxi, your words are too serious. Of course, I don’t want you to offend the Empress. I…”

Yu Yunxi did not give Madam Shang a chance to finish speaking. She said,

“Then let the Empress make the arrangement. I definitely will not interfere.”

Madam Shang gnashed her teeth so hard that they almost broke, thinking to herself, ‘I thought this little b*tch was going to agree earlier. Who knew she’d actually do this?’

Li Xu heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Yu Yunxi was smart enough to see through Madam Shang’s evil intentions.

“Eldest Princess, I’ll take my leave now. You’re the granddaughter of the

Emperor Emeritus, the Eldest Princess of Xichu, and the master of the King of

Zhenbei’s Residence. You can do whatever you want. Don’t let those who don’t know their identities ruin your mood.”

Before Li Xu left, he even pointed out Madam Shang.

Madam Shang gritted her teeth, fuming with anger. Worried that Yu Yunxi would complain to Chu Ruishi, she hurriedly said, “Yunxi, I think there’s a misunderstanding. Second Aunt…

Yu Yunxi did not have the patience to listen to Madam Shang. She said to Meng

Xia, “Let’s go to the military camp.”

“Yes, Eldest Princess,” Meng Xia said happily. She did not want to look at Madam Shang’s face for a moment longer.

Madam Shang watched Yu Yunxi and Meng Xia leave with a venomous gaze as her heart burned with anger.

Yu Xiaoxiao ran over to Madam Shang’s side at this moment and said angrily, “Mother, that little b*tch is borrowing the Emperor Emeritus’ might to intimidate us!”

Madam Shang clutched her chest and said hatefully, “Ask your brother to come back. We’ll discuss how to deal with Yu Yunxi at length. We need a long-term plan..”
