Chapter 83: Yu Junjin Runs Into the Twelfth Prince Again
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
During the journey, Feng Yili held onto Yu Yunxi tightly. Her hand was already red, but he still did not let go.
Yu Yunxi was extremely perplexed.
‘What’s wrong with him?’
They continued on like that until they arrived at the entrance of the Prince Regent’s Residence. Only then was he willing to let go.
Yu Yunxi had just pulled her hand back when she heard the roar of a tiger from the residence. She looked delighted and hurried inside the residence.
When she arrived at the backyard, she saw Jiang Ying, Qian Jiao, Qian Mei, and a group of guards surrounding and staring at the white tiger.
The white tiger sat on its haunches, licking its fur from time to time. It would look up occasionally at everyone. Its expression somehow looked…
contemptuous.
“Is it hungry?” Qian Mei asked Jiang Ying with a frown.
Jiang Ying shook his head. “I don’t know either. It was running around in the palace. It was not easy for me to knock it out with tranquilizing powder before bringing it back here.”
“What kind of powder is that? It sounds so unreliable. Perhaps you’ve angered it,” Qian Mei could not help but complain with a frown.
Jiang Ying scratched his head. ‘Why do I feel like the Princess Consort’s maidservants are hostile toward me?’
At this moment, Yu Yunxi walked over and said softly, “Don’t worry. It won’t hurt you.”
The white tiger was clearly delighted when it saw Yu Yunxi and quickly ran toward her.
Qian Mei and the others felt as though their hearts drop to the ground when they saw this. They wanted to rush over to stop the tiger.
However, when the white tiger came to Yu Yunxi’s side, it began to rub itself against her affectionately like it did when they were in the palace. It looked just like a normal cat.
Most of the people present at this time were not in the palace today so they were shocked by this sight.
“Are you not used to this place?” Yu Yunxi crouched down and rubbed its head with a smile.
The white tiger grunted as though it understood her.
“Qian Mei, prepare food for it. It must be staring,” Yu Yunxi said.
��Yes, County Princess,” Qian Mei replied.
“Your Royal Highness, can I…”
Yu Yunxi wanted to ask if she could temporarily leave the white tiger in the Prince Regent’s Residence. After all, she could not bring it to the Yu Residence or the Revival Hall. Not only would it be troublesome, but it would be bad if the Emperor found out.
“Sure,” Feng Yili readily agreed without waiting for her to finish her words.
“Thank you.” Yu Yunxi’s eyes were bright.
Feng Yili was slightly dazed. This was the first time he had seen her smiling so sincerely at him. However, it did not take long before his expression darkened. “I won’t bother you for too long. I’ll bring it with me when I return to Xinan.” ‘Xinan? Return to Xinan? Is there no one in the capital worthy of her staying?’
Yu Yunxi turned around, looking at him expectantly as she asked, “Your Royal
Highness, since you saved it, can you name it?”
Feng Yili’s anger dissipated as soon as he saw her expectant gaze. He sighed silently and reached out to stroke the white tiger’s head and said, “It’s closer to you so you should name it.”
“Alright, it’ll be impolite for me to refuse,” Yu Yunxi said with a smile, “Seeing that its fur is white, I’ll give it a nice and memorable name. How about calling it… Little White?”
The white tiger was speechless.
Feng Yili was speechless.
Everyone was speechless.
Qian Jiao scratched her head awkwardly. In her opinion, Yu Yunxi was good at everything, but she was terrible at naming. Previously, when Yu Junjin was born, he was very weak. For the sake of healthy growth, she had wanted to name him Yu ZhuangzhuangO. Fortunately, the King of Xinan could not stand it and named the little master Yu Junjin. Otherwise, the little master would definitely be laughed at.
“Sister!”
At this moment, the little bun rushed over.
“Junjin!”
Yu Yunxi’s expression became much gentler when she saw her son.
“What a beautiful tiger!”
Yu Junjin’s eyes were shining when he saw the white tiger. He quickly ran over with his short legs and rubbed the white tiger with his little hands.
Seeing this, Jiang Ying and the others wanted to stop him. The white tiger was arrogant and not very friendly. It would be terrible if it hurt the little bun.
Unexpectedly, the white tiger purred happily a few times when Yu Junjin touched it.
‘The white tiger isn’t only friendly to her, but it’s friendly to the little fellow as well?’
Feng Yili watched from the side. There were some unknown emotions surging in his eyes at this moment.
“Junjin, what do you think about calling it Little White?” Yu Yunxi asked. The little bun clapped his hands and said happily, “It’s good!”
‘The little master… seems to have taken after the County Princess when it comes to naming things… If the King of Xinan were here, he’d be worried..
Qian Jiao’s expression was a little difficult to describe at this moment.
Meanwhile, Feng Yili stood quietly at the back as he observed the interaction between Yu Yunxi and the little bun with narrowed eyes.
“I was wondering why the palace is in chaos. As it turns out, you brought the white tiger here…”
Luo Xiuran walked in at this moment, closing his fan with a sigh.
The imperial guards in the palace were being reprimanded for failing to find the white tiger.
The little bun looked at Luo Xiuran with sparkling eyes and said excitedly, “Brother Xiuran, come over here! Sister named it Little White! Doesn’t it sound nice?”
Luo Xiuran was speechless.
‘Actually, if you really can’t think of a name, you really don’t have to name it…’
Luo Xiuran smiled and went against his conscience as he said, “It is a nice name.”
To think that the majestic white tiger with a noble bloodline was given such a rustic name. It was probably feeling very aggrieved.
Luo Xiuran coughed awkwardly and quickly changed the topic. He asked, “Yili, what do you think about today’s matter? If the legitimate daughter of the Chen family marries the Crown Prince, he might be able to turn things around.”
Luo Xiuran had also attended the banquet earlier, but he was sitting quite far away so it was inconvenient for him to greet them. He had to admit that Yu Yunxi’s performance today was brilliant.
“It’s useless to stop them. Even if it’s not the Chen family, there are still the Li family, the Zhao family, the Zhang family, the Wang family… The Emperor is determined to help the Crown Prince and watch the princes fight to the death,” Feng Yili said indifferently.
Luo Xiuran sneered. “He’s really good at scheming.”
While everyone discussed the palace banquet, the little bun tugged Yu Yunxi’s sleeve and said, “Sister, I want to pee.”
“Okay, go ahead,” Yu Yunxi said, rubbing his head. It was really awkwvard being called Sister by her own son. She wondered when this would end.
The little bun left on his own, but he did not go to the bathroom. He made his way to a remote corner in the Prince Regent’s Residence and climbed up the wall. In just a short while, he had already arrived at the other side of the wall.
The little bun dusted his hands as he stood outside the Prince Regent’s Residence. He had been observing for many days, and he knew there were no guards guarding this place at this time. As such, no one knew that he had snuck out.
His mother’s birthday was in a few days so he wanted to get her a present to surprise her. There were always people following him around so it was inconvenient for him. In the end, the only choice was to sneak out.
With his short legs, he ran to the streets. When he passed by an alley, a group of guards suddenly descended and surrounded him.
After that, Feng Weigeng, the Twelfth Prince, walked out from behind the guards. He glared at the little bun with a dark expression and said with a scoff, “How dare you! I’ve been waiting here for so many days, you finally left the Prince Regent’s Residence!”
After returning to the palace that day, Feng Weigeng had to accept the punishment of Feng Yili. The more he thought about it, the more unwilling and angrier he felt. He sent people out to investigate, but no one knew who the unruly brat was. They only found out that Yu Junjin had been staying in the
Prince Regent’s Residence. Usually, Yu Junjin would be accompanied by Feng Yili or Luo Xiuran so he simply could not make a move. He was angry and jealous. He was Feng Yili’s nephew, but Feng Yili did not even allow him to enter the Prince Regent’s Residence. Why was Yu Junjin allowed to stay in the
Prince Regent’s Residence? With that, his hatred and anger continued to grow. He was determined to teach Yu Junjin a lesson.
Feng Weigeng shouted, “Capture him!”
