2058: Romantic Company (4)

Romantic Company (4)

Feng Wu immediately said, "I'm well-rested. Thank you, Grandmother."1

"You're always so formal. Why can't you be more casual around me?" The empress dowager was happy to see "Jun Linyuan" and immediately took "his" hand. "Come. Sit with me."

She then snorted. "Someone was behaving like the smartest man in the room while you were away. He actually thought that he could win a debate. Hmph!"

Feng Wu knew who she was talking about. Only the second prince would be criticized like this.

The empress dowager then tried to lead Feng Wu away.

She had no idea that the "Jun Linyuan" she was talking to was actually Feng Wu.

Feng Wu sighed inwardly. She could go with the empress dowager, but what if Jun Linyuan wouldn't go with her?

She was still on the ninth trial.

Feng Wu looked eagerly at Jun Linyuan.

She already knew him a little better than before.

She knew that she couldn't talk to Jun Linyuan in a commanding tone, because he was a very rebellious teenager and thought that he was the greatest man on earth.

Therefore, she had to try to bend his will by using tricks, such as talking in a softer tone. It would work much better than trying to force him.

As expected —

When Feng Wu gave Jun Linyuan a pleading look, he snorted.

Feng Wu then walked up to him and took his hand. "Come. Sit with us."

She wished that she had a rope here to tie him to her waist.

That way, she wouldn't have to worry about the ten-step distance anymore.

The crown prince rolled his eyes at Feng Wu and reluctantly followed her.

But now —

The crowd was utterly baffled.

The empress dowager was the most astonished because she was the closest to them.

The two of them…

How could her Junjun do this?

Did they have no respect for her at all?!

The empress dowager's face darkened, but she couldn't bring herself to get mad at "Jun Linyuan." Therefore, she lashed out at "Feng Wu."

The empress dowager's eyes were as sharp as blades as she stared at "Feng Wu."

But what she didn't know was that her dear grandson was actually Feng Wu.

"You frivolous girl! Behave yourself!

"And you!" The empress dowager gave her grandson a frustrated glance. "Have you forgotten where you are? Where do you think you're taking her?!"

Feng Wu's stomach turned. Gosh, the empress dowager was angry.

Why? Feng Wu then saw that the old lady was staring at her and Jun Linyuan's clasped hands.

Was that it?

The empress dowager glanced at Empress Dugu. If she wasn't there, the crown prince would be sitting next to the old lady.

But seniority came first. Empress Dugu was still the crown prince's titular mother, and even the empress dowager couldn't make Empress Dugu change her seat.

Therefore, she just gave Empress Dugu a dirty look before she pulled Feng Wu away. "Here. Sit next to me. Let's chat."

The second prince had had a great debate just then, and had impressed a lot of people. Therefore, the empress dowager wanted to show "Jun Linyuan" some favor so that some people wouldn't get the wrong idea.

However…

Feng Wu didn't care about that at all. She was only trying to finish the ninth trial.
