Overcoming all difficulties, the princess is reborn to become the empress

The group walked and stopped for nearly ten days before they rented a private courtyard at the foot of a mountain and settled down.

This place is sparsely populated, but has pleasant scenery and is surrounded by mountains and forests.

The next day, the east was getting light and the morning light was just breaking.

Ye Ziqing stood in front of the door, gazing at the sun rising slowly in the distance. She raised her right hand to her forehead, with her five fingers slightly spread out. Soft light seemed to pour down from between her fingers, and an unprecedented sense of calm arose spontaneously.

There are flowers in spring and moon in autumn, cool breeze in summer and snow in winter.

These days, she has figured it out: as long as Feng Yuqi doesn't harm her family, let him follow her.

After all, Feng Zihao is also his father!

What's more, his identity does not allow him to keep following, and one day he will leave on his own.

Ye Ziqing took a deep breath, closed her eyes and breathed in the floral scent in the air, with a look of satisfaction on her face.

Feng Yuqi stood not far away, staring at her intently.

He was finding it increasingly difficult to understand Ye Ziqing.

She avoided him most of the time, as if she was wary of him.

Sometimes she seemed to be protecting him and pulling him into her family.

However, the more he couldn't see through her, the more he couldn't help but follow her figure with his eyes, just like when he first saw her as a child.

Tian Qu had secretly come to urge him several times, and the emperor ordered him to return to the palace as soon as possible.

Is the matter of the death soldier going to come to nothing?

Looking at Ye Ziqing who seemed to be wrapped in the morning light, Feng Yuqi was just thinking when Ye Zixi's voice came.

"Brother Qi Yu, let's go!"

"Okay, call your sister!" Feng Yuqi touched Ye Zixi's head who came over and said to her.

Today they were going to the city to purchase some daily necessities. Ye Ziqing was reluctant to go with them at first, but after Ye Zixi and her mother persuaded her for a long time, Ye Ziqing finally agreed to go with them.

Why did he feel like Ye Ziqing was avoiding him again?

Feng Yuqi watched Ye Zixi go over and hold Ye Ziqing's hand before he went to lead the carriage.

When the three entered the city, it was already past noon and the morning sun was high in the sky.

The city was bustling with people, especially in the East and West Markets. Various shops lined the streets, and peddlers and hawkers came and went, creating a scene of prosperity and splendor.

After greeting each other, Feng Yuqi and Ye Ziqing went into a rice shop alone.

Ye Zixi was attracted by the jugglers' performance at the base of the teahouse next door. She jumped up and down and clapped and cheered along with the crowd.

Ye Ziqing followed Ye Zixi closely, fearing that the little guy would slip into the crowd and disappear.

Suddenly she heard someone calling her softly from behind. Ye Ziqing turned sideways and saw a handsome man in white.

It was Su Qiongzhi.

"Why is Mr. Su here too?" she asked.

Su Changfeng looked at Ye Ziqing's surprised expression, smiled and raised his hand to point to her upper left.

"Just now, Su was looking out the window of the teahouse and unexpectedly spotted Miss Ziqing in the crowd. Su was very happy to see Miss Ziqing again."

Ye Ziqing looked in the direction and found that the three characters "Wangyou Pavilion" were clearly written on the plaque hanging above the door of the teahouse.

The two smiled at each other.

Because Ye Ziqing wanted to keep an eye on her younger sister Ye Zixi, the two of them stood side by side here, chatting about their respective whereabouts and interesting things that had happened to them since they separated.

The artist's flexible movements and wonderful performance drew applause and cheers from the spectators. Ye Ziqing and Su Changfeng inevitably moved closer and closer.

After Feng Yuqi and the rice shop clerk agreed on the purchase amount and the delivery location and time, he came out to look for Ye Ziqing and Ye Zixi. From a distance, he saw Su Changfeng leaning over and whispering at Ye Ziqing's red lips.

The two were talking about something with smiles on their faces.

Feng Yuqi's brows were tightly knitted.

How come this sick guy appears again!

He walked a few steps to Ye Ziqing's side, and pulled the corner of his mouth down in displeasure, "Mr. Su Qiongzhi, what a coincidence, we meet again so soon!"

When Su Changfeng heard the voice, his eyes dimmed.

This is no coincidence!

Before he left last time, he sent Ayi to secretly follow Yunxuan and the others.

He rode back from Yougu Pass at full speed, calculating that after they settled down here, they would come to the city to do some shopping the next day, so he was waiting at the city gate early.

Just as he expected, Feng Yuqi followed Yunxuan and the others and did not leave.

After watching Feng Yuqi leave, he showed up and pretended to meet him by chance.

Su Changfeng quickly suppressed the emotion in his eyes, turned around and smiled at Feng Yuqi, "I am a humble Su who travels around for business. Today, I happened to come to the Wangyou Pavilion Teahouse. Perhaps it is because of my sincerity that I met the person I wanted to see here."

After saying that, he turned sideways and invited Ye Ziqing, "Miss Ziqing, can you please move to Wangyou Pavilion? I have found a new piece of music and would like to discuss it with you."

Seeing Ye Ziqing nod, Feng Yuqi strode between the two of them and shouted at the top of his voice: "Zixi, go home, otherwise your mother will worry again."

Ye Zixi squeezed out from the crowd, pouting and just about to speak, she saw Su Changfeng standing with Ye Ziqing. She was stunned for a moment, then walked up to Su Changfeng and greeted him sweetly with a smile.

After saying hello, she pulled Feng Yuqi up with one hand and Ye Ziqing with the other, and deliberately said that she was hungry and wanted to go home together to eat.

Feng Yuqi rubbed her hair with satisfaction and said lovingly: "You are so good! Brother will reward you with a string of candied haws later."

Ye Zixi replied with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Qi Yu."

Su Qiongzhi added: "I was grateful to Uncle Ye and Auntie for their hospitality. I have prepared some small gifts these days, and I will thank you in person if we meet again in the future."

"I didn't expect to use it so soon. Let Su go and get it. Ziqing, wait for me for a moment." Without waiting for Ye Ziqing to react, he turned and entered the Wangyou Pavilion next door.

"So soon, Ziqing has been called!" Feng Yuqi turned over and pinched Ye Zixi's wrist, and said to Ye Ziqing on the other side.

There was sarcasm in that tone.

Ye Ziqing tilted her head to look. Feng Yuqi stared at her, and the contempt in his eyes that had disappeared for a while seemed to surge back again.

Ye Ziqing narrowed her eyes unconsciously, feeling a little confused.

"It hurts!" Ye Zixi's voice suddenly rang out.

Ye Ziqing was so frightened that she went to look. Zixi stared at the arm that was pinched by Feng Yuqi, as if trying to break free. Feng Yuqi seemed to realize something and quickly let go.

Ye Ziqing hurriedly grabbed Ye Zixi's hand to check.

Seeing that there was an obvious red mark on Ye Zixi's wrist caused by being squeezed hard, she glared at Feng Yuqi in reproach and carefully blew on Ye Zixi's wrist.

"Ziqing!" Su Changfeng walked out of Wangyou Pavilion, followed by servants holding a bunch of gifts.

The gift box was piled up against the servant's nose.

Seeing the servant carefully guarding the gift and following Ye Ziqing and Su Qiongzhi who were walking side by side, Feng Yuqi became even more angry.

If Ye Zixi hadn't come over and held his hand, he would have wanted to kick that sickly guy in the back.
