Princess Jinfeng wanted to say she couldn’t do it, but upon careful thought, she realized that despite knowing Leng Binghan for so many years and giving everything to give birth to Nuannuan, she still ended up with nothing.
"Brother, I’ll listen to you!"
Forget Leng Binghan, become an arrogant Princess Jinfeng, and be the support for her brother.
Help her brother achieve greatness, raise Nuannuan, and never marry in this life.
Chu Yu tenderly embraced his sister.
Already in her twenties and unmarried, he dared not force her into marriage.
The Emperor would rather have her remain unmarried!
"Brother, I want to bring Nuannuan to my side and raise her myself. In this life, I won’t marry, is that okay?" Princess Jinfeng asked softly.
Princess Jinfeng looked eagerly at Chu Yu.
After a long while, Chu Yu finally nodded, "Good, as long as you’re happy, not marrying is fine. Raising Nuannuan, your brother will help you!"
There might be many rumors, but he believed Jinfeng could handle them.
"Thank you, Brother!"
Jinfeng sincerely thanked him.
Grateful in her heart to have a good brother!
The carriage sped forward and stopped at the Yun Family’s entrance, "His Highness the King Rui and Princess Jinfeng have arrived!"
Yun Jinnian heard it and was immediately overjoyed.
The corners of her mouth lightly curled into a smile.
Mrs. Han was also delighted, quickly joining Yun Qi in greeting them, and after a few simple words, Chu Yu handed over the congratulatory gift.
He only had one brocade box, and so did Princess Jinfeng.
They lacked neither gold, silver, nor jewels, what was more important than heartfelt intentions.
"Thank you, Your Highness the King Rui, and Princess for attending Jinnian’s coming-of-age ceremony!" Mrs. Han said, bowing slightly.
Princess Jinfeng promptly supported Mrs. Han, "Auntie, don’t say that. I truly like Jinnian, but over the years, we repeatedly missed chances to meet and couldn’t gather properly with her!"
Turning around, she saw Yun Jinnian gracefully approaching.
"Jinnian greets the Princess and His Highness!" Her tone was gentle, her gaze toward Princess Jinfeng and Chu Yu full of smiles.
Etiquette must not be neglected.
At least for now, their relationship isn’t clear, so maintaining distance is wise.
However, Yun Jinnian’s happiness was evident to everyone!
"Jinnian, there’s no need for such formality. It was I and my brother who arrived late. Is the coming-of-age ceremony about to start?" Princess Jinfeng asked.
Tightly holding Yun Jinnian’s hand.
This girl, even as a child, she felt some pity for her.
Now, in the blink of an eye, she’s a grown woman, transformed from a young child to a beauty, missing each other time and again with few gatherings, yet she trusts her immensely.
Not only because she would become her brother’s wife but because at their first meeting, those solitary, silent eyes, indifferent yet pitiful, thin enough to be blown over by the wind.
Clearly a child, yet not knowing how to smile.
"The auspicious time is almost here!" Yun Jinnian said softly.
"Then I’ll greet Aunt after, let’s start then!" Princess Jinfeng said, glancing at Chu Yu.
Chu Yu naturally had no objections.
First entering the main hall to pay respects to the Princess of the State, who laughed, "Today is Jinnian’s joyous day, no need for such formalities!"
"Thank you, Aunt! Then I shall take my leave first!"
The Princess of the State nodded.
Chu Yu followed Yun Qi to the adjacent small hall.
Seeing Zhou Yunshen for the first time, Chu Yu smiled, Zhou Yunshen though surprised, covered it well.
After some pleasantries, Chu Yu sat next to Zhou Yunshen, "Unexpectedly, the Crown Prince is here too!"
Zhou Yunshen smiled, "Princess Yijia is my lifesaver; I ought to attend Princess Yijia’s coming-of-age ceremony! The same goes for you, King Rui."
