Chapter 168 The Imperial Advisor of a Female-Dominated Society (Part 14)

Feng Yu rubbed her temples, feeling a surge of irritation.

Lately, nothing she does has gone smoothly. Her original plan to unify the world has not yielded any results, and the Empress is becoming increasingly wary of her.

Thinking of this, Feng Yu kicked a flowerpot next to her, cursing, "Was coming here the right thing to do or the wrong thing? Did you do it on purpose?"

This was the first time she had gotten angry since waking up. After realizing what had happened, she felt a little embarrassed and thought she was being too childish. In the end, she went back to her study with a stern face.

By the time the servants reported that Xu Zishan had returned, half an hour had already passed.

Feng Yu got up to look for the person, but when she reached the door, she saw the Imperial Preceptor, whom she had been thinking about day and night, striding in with Xu Zishan...

Feng Yu's pupils dilated in shock. "Imperial Advisor? What brings you here? Did you come to see me?"

Qingyu glanced at Fengyu with a hint of disdain, "Your Highness needs to consider the occasion before you act presumptuously."

Feng Yu: "..." (crying)

Her face fell, and she then noticed that Xu Zishan seemed to be getting along quite well with Qingyu. She immediately stepped forward and pulled Xu Zishan aside, asking, "Do you know the Imperial Advisor?"

Xu Zishan nodded with feigned emotion, "So you are the Grand Preceptor... I merely encountered the Grand Preceptor by chance, Your Highness need not be so hostile..."

Feng Yu's jaw tightened, her suspicious gaze shifting back and forth between Xu Zishan and Feng Yu.

Seeing this, Qingyu's eyes brightened slightly, and she nodded deliberately, saying, "I really like Zishan's personality; he's gentle and polite."

After saying that, he smiled slightly at the group and said, "I won't disturb Your Highness any longer. I still need to arrange the matters concerning the people's prayers."

The folk prayer ceremony was a large-scale event held by the Empress to appease the people, and it had always been presided over by the royal advisor.

Qingyu had mentioned this before, and bringing it up now was just an excuse.

Feng Yu, however, had a sudden inspiration and a plan came to mind.

"Imperial Preceptor, this matter of praying for blessings among the people is of great importance. I would also like to contribute my share. Is that alright?" Feng Yu wore a polite smile, believing that she was showing her beautiful side, and stared intently at Qing Yu.

Qingyu raised an eyebrow slightly, responding with a half-smile, "Seventh Prince, you are very kind. I wonder how Your Highness intends to do your best? Does His Majesty know?"

Feng Yu's expression stiffened slightly, and she gave an awkward smile. "My mother has always been enlightened. I just want to do my part for the well-being of the people."

She simply couldn't think of anything she could give Qingyu to get her attention.

Then I can only try to figure out what the other person likes.

“There’s no need for that. All the princesses will need to be there. Your Highness can just wait.” Qingyu said casually, then looked at Xu Zishan with a slight glint in her eyes. “Your Highness is fortunate to have someone like Young Master Xu by your side.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Zishan's face turned pale instantly. He even wanted to explain in a panic, but the words just wouldn't come out.

His true target is indeed the Seventh Prince Consort, isn't it? What's the point of denying it now?

pity……

He opened his lips, but a bitter feeling welled up in his heart, making it difficult for him to speak.

Without saying another word, Qingyu turned and left with a flick of her sleeve, her figure graceful and elegant, leaving the two of them stunned for a long time.

Feng Yu let out a breath, looked at Xu Zishan with suspicion in her eyes, and asked, "How did you end up coming back with the Imperial Advisor?"

Xu Zishan quickly lowered his eyes and obediently replied, "I went to the Ye family to find you... Perhaps I missed His Highness. The Imperial Advisor is a good person. He couldn't bear to see me, a man, going home alone, so he escorted me."

Feng Yu felt a sense of relief, then sighed and couldn't help but ask, "Don't you feel that she's particularly impatient with me?"

Xu Zishan resumed his gentle demeanor, "Your Highness is trying to curry favor with the Imperial Advisor, isn't that right? Then Your Highness will have to make a good impression at the next prayer ceremony."

Feng Yu nodded approvingly, "That's what I think too."

Xu Zishan smiled but did not speak.

No wonder he felt that Feng Yu had become complacent and was no longer pursuing power; it turned out that her heart was set on Qing Yu.

really……

No one could resist falling for her.

Feng Yu did realize that she had changed somewhat; she seemed to... no longer have such great ambition for the throne.

Actually, it's not a big deal if you don't want the throne.

but--

That person cannot give up.

Perhaps she traveled through time just for that person?

"By the way, what's wrong with Lu Yan lately?" Feng Yu was about to leave, but then she remembered Lu Yan's behavior when she ran into him today and couldn't help but ask, "Why does he have no manners at all? Who offended him?"

Xu Zishan looked up in surprise, "He's back? He came to see you?"

Feng Yu nodded in confusion, "You don't know?"

Xu Zishan shook his head calmly, then comforted him, "I'll try to persuade him. He's just a bit aloof, but he's a good person."

Feng Yu pursed her lips and didn't answer. Lu Yan was indeed a nice person, good-looking, and would be considered a cool and handsome guy in modern times, right? Unfortunately, she didn't want to try to win over someone with such a poker face; he looked like someone who was not easy to mess with.

Her imperial advisor is still the best; she can make you fall in love at first sight. I wonder when we'll be able to see her in full?

"You handle it." With that, Feng Yu left without looking back.

Xu Zishan breathed a sigh of relief, and when he turned around, Lu Yan was already standing behind him.

He frowned. "You heard everything? When did you get back? Why did you come back and go to provoke her?"

This tone...

I'm getting a little impatient.

Lu Yan looked surprised, sized up Xu Zishan, and chuckled, "Why have you changed? Don't you like her anymore?"

Xu Zishan turned his head away, his handsome profile showing little expression, only his eyes were much calmer. "There's no like or dislike. You haven't answered my question yet."

Now it was Lu Yan's turn to fall silent. He couldn't tell anyone about the Assassin's Guild's mission, not only because of the need for secrecy, but also because anyone who knew the truth would most likely be silenced by the Assassin's Guild.

Xu Zishan is a good person, and he doesn't want to harm the other party.

"The plan has changed again." He said those five words casually, but Xu Zishan keenly sensed that something was amiss.

However, the other person had a blank expression, and he himself was also a bit confused, so he didn't ask any more questions.

"Then don't go near her. She's been a bit upset lately." After giving this reminder, Xu Zishan turned and went back to his own courtyard.

I wonder what the Imperial Advisor likes? Should he send her something?

Behind him, Lu Yan's expression was complex and profound, and he slowly left after a long while.

What happened to Feng Yu could not escape the Crown Princess's investigation, nor could it escape the scrutiny of the other princesses.

They were all like lurking wolves, keeping a close eye on those around them, hoping someone would slip up.

But now that everyone has heard that Feng Yu and the Imperial Preceptor are getting closer, everyone is starting to panic.

At almost the same time, Qingling noticed that the number of people inviting the Imperial Advisor had increased, mostly female relatives of officials, and even some bolder ones like princesses...

The reasons given were varied and bizarre, ranging from calculations to inquiries, and their sincere attitudes left no room for criticism.

Qingyu was naturally aware that someone had been bothering her during this time, but she had already done what she wanted to do. She had messed up the situation around Fengyu, so now she could just watch the show.

Qingyu rejected all of these people.

Only when two groups of people outside the door almost started arguing did Qingyu lazily ask, "What's going on outside?"

Qingling's face was grim. "Outside, Consort Ru's people and Consort De's people are arguing."

Actually, they just had a few words of bickering. After all, the palace is a solemn place, and they can't act like market vendors.

Qingyu stretched, her waist was slender, her skin was delicate and smooth, and the gorgeous clothes she wore made her look even more delicate and beautiful.

A hint of interest appeared on her jade-like, otherworldly face. She raised her delicate hand slightly and said, "I'll go take a look."
