Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Feng Wu was confused. “What should I know?”
Emperor Wu said, “The lucky draw.”
Feng Wu asked, “What lucky draw?”
Emperor Wu pointed at the rice. “The lucky draw that’s being carried out in your name. And do you see the lines in the sky?”
Feng Wu nodded.
Emperor Wu lowered his voice. “All the envelopes contain a word, and there are eight in total that say together, ‘Jun Linyuan the sovereign, Feng Wu the true phoenix.’ If one collects all eight, they can exchange them for 999 silver coins! I tried to find them all but failed. What a shame.”
Feng Wu said, “Did you say ‘collect all eight words’?”
Emperor Wu nodded.
Feng Wu glared at Feng Xun!
So, that was what it was about!
Feng Xun felt a chill run down his spine. He moved closer and grinned at Feng Wu. “Xiao Wu, are you mad?”
Feng Wu glared at him. “You’re making fun of me!”
Feng Xun grew anxious.
Boss Jun would kick his a.s.s if he heard that!
Feng Xun immediately said, “I would never do that! Why would I do such a thing?!”
Feng Wu said, “Never? What words did I give you when you came to me for ideas? I never said any of that!”
Feng Xun said, “The envelopes are for a birthday celebration! What words did you give me? Patriotic and diligent? They just don’t suit the mood!”
Feng Wu said, “I thought His Majesty was giving out gift envelopes on New Year’s Eve!”
Emperor Wu was perplexed.
Feng Xun said, “How could it be His Majesty? They’re for celebrating your birthday!”
Feng Wu said, “But you didn’t tell me what you were going to use!”
If she had known, she would never have let Feng Xun use those words.
Yes, Zuo Qingluan would be furious when she saw it and might acknowledge that Jun Linyuan was in love with Feng Wu. That way, she would be able to finish the eleventh trial. However, it would also mean that Feng Wu herself was admitting to her relations.h.i.+p with Jun Linyuan.
“The entire imperial capital will think that there’s something going on between me and His Royal Highness! You…” Feng Wu told the two elders, “Do whatever you want with him!”
Elder Jing and Elder Grain were already chasing Feng Xun. Upon hearing what Feng Wu said, however, they both stopped.
Elder Jing asked Feng Wu, “Aren’t you still engaged? What’s wrong with letting people know about it?”
It would be very wrong!
Feng Wu glared at Feng Xun.
Feng Xun didn’t know what to do.
It wasn’t his fault!
The crown prince hadn’t liked the words Feng Wu suggested, so he wrote those words himself!
He was so pleased with what he came up with that he couldn’t stop smiling.
Feng Xun hated to admit that it was a very foolish smile.
He had never seen Jun Linyuan smile like that.
Feng Wu grabbed Feng Xun. “Did you write those words?”
Feng Xun said, “Of course not! Do you think I have such excellent handwriting?”
Feng Wu said, “Who wrote them, then?”
