At this moment, a ray of sunlight tore through the clouds and appeared in the depths of the mountain range, instantly illuminating the entire valley. The sea of flowers in the distant mountains seemed to be dyed with a layer of gold powder under the reflection of the red and yellow multicolored clouds, shining brightly. As the multicolored clouds increased, the valley gradually lit up. The light gradually spread from afar to their side, like a little fairy's magic wand, repainting the valley. The different scenery at the intersection of light and darkness gradually changed, and it was beautiful.
As soon as the group left Mystic Medicine Valley, they saw Gongsun Yu standing at the entrance of the valley on a horse. He was wearing a high hat and a white robe that was spotless. There was a faint smile on his handsome face." You've recovered!”
Ouyang Xu nodded." Why are you here?"”
"Of course someone deliberately told me your whereabouts!”Gongsun Yu smiled meaningfully as he looked at Yuan Zinuo who was sitting on Ouyang Xu's horse." You've grown a lot taller!”
Of course, she was happy to see her old friends. Yuan Zinuo smiled." It's tiring to always look up to you!”
" Haha…" Gongsun Yu laughed heartily. The worries in his heart were relieved, and he felt much more relaxed. When he found out that Ouyang Xu was injured, he rushed over. These few days, he had waited at the entrance of the valley. That kind of torture was indescribable. Now that he saw that the two of them were fine, he was finally relieved. "August 28th, my grandfather's 60th birthday. I'm inviting you and Xiao Nuo to attend!”
Gongsun Yu looked at Qi Yunru, dismounted, and bowed respectfully." Grandpa knows that The Preceptor is in Northern Dome, so he asked Ziqian to invite you to attend!"”
Qi Yunru had originally wanted to wait for Ling Xi to come out and ask about the entrance to the Divine Realm, but who knew that Ling Xi would disappear without a trace? Furthermore, the Taotie was ferocious, and he couldn't deal with it, so he was extremely anxious. Yuan Zinuo said that Ling Xi would be in seclusion for a year and would accompany him to Mystic Medicine Valley after that. Qi Yunru had no choice but to give up for now. He was no longer alone. He had to take good care of their daughter so that Xiaoyou would not worry. Furthermore, if he did not settle Yuan Zinuo's marriage, how could he put everything aside to look for Fuyou?
Seeing Gongsun Yu's respectful invitation and Yuan Zinuo's good relationship with Gongsun Yu, he nodded." En, I'll definitely participate!”The Left Prime Minister of Beiqiong was a figure that the four countries respected. The three generations of the Feng family were honest and upright. They wholeheartedly assisted the Beiqiong King. Their daughters were virtuous princesses and were praised by the people of Beiqiong.
Gongsun Yu obviously didn't expect Qi Yunru to really agree. He was overjoyed." Grandpa must be very happy!”Gongsun Yu couldn't be blamed for being flattered. The Qiyun family had never liked to make friends with the royal families of the four kingdoms. Firstly, it was because of their high status and also to avoid suspicion and not let the emperor suspect them. Now that Qi Yunru was willing to attend the Prime Minister's birthday celebration, this was the first time in the four countries. How could Gongsun Yu not be surprised?
Three days later, they arrived at the North Dome Capital, Snow City. It was called Snow City because the North Dome was located in the north, and winter came early. It was only the end of August, and it was mid-autumn. The cold wind was howling in Snow City, and the trees were withered. According to Gongsun Yu, Snow City would snow in October every year and would only melt in March of the following year. Half of the year was covered in snow.
Yuan Zinuo was afraid of the cold. Fortunately, Gongsun Yu had already prepared a thick cotton coat and a mink cloak for her. Even so, she hid in the carriage and refused to come out. The carriage was covered with a thick brocade blanket, and the silver charcoal in the copper hand stove was still burning. Yuan Zinuo was nestled in the silver rat blanket, only revealing her small face. Ouyang Xu claimed that he had just recovered from a serious illness and wanted to stay in the carriage with Yuan Zinuo, but he was chased out by Qi Yunru.
"Xiao Nuo, we're here!" The group of people stopped outside the red gate of the Prime Minister's Estate. Hundreds of people from the Feng family were already waiting by the door, waiting for the distinguished guests to arrive.
"Greetings, Your Highness!" As soon as Ouyang Xu arrived, everyone knelt down and bowed their heads. Ouyang Xu raised his hand indifferently and dismounted from his horse to wait beside the carriage.
Qi Yunru lifted the curtain and got off the carriage. The Feng family knelt down again." Greetings, Imperial Preceptor!”
Qi Yunru stepped onto the prepared escalator and got off the carriage. She was dressed in a simple white robe and stood in the cold wind with her head held high. Her white robe was blown by the wind and made a puff sound.”His natural nobility and majesty made everyone afraid to look at him in the eye.
Prime Minister Feng and the others slowly stood up, unable to suppress the excitement on their faces. When the Beiqiong King heard that Qi Yunru was coming, he had already prepared a place for him in the palace. However, Qi Yunru insisted on staying in the Feng Residence, which made Prime Minister Feng feel overwhelmed.
Yuan Zinuo pulled up her clothes and put on the mink fur cloak beside her before slowly getting off the carriage. Ouyang Xu had already stretched out his arm for her to support him. Yuan Zinuo did not act pretentious and helped his hand down the carriage. She came to Prime Minister Feng's side and bowed.
"Preceptor, please!" Prime Minister Feng lowered his head respectfully and led the way.
"Prime Minister Feng, there's no need to be so formal!" Qi Yunru was used to everyone's worship and respect. She followed Prime Minister Feng into the manor with her hands behind her back.
Yuan Zinuo shrugged and walked to Gongsun Yu's side." Gongsun, why does your grandfather look like he's afraid of my father?”
Gongsun Yu smiled." That's not fear. It's respect from the bottom of my heart. The Grand Tutor is the descendant of Nüwa. He is sacred and noble. He has always protected all the people of the Hanyu Dynasty. No matter where he goes, he will be respected!”When Gongsun Yu heard that Yuan Zinuo was Qi Yunru's daughter, he was shocked and disappointed. She was the legitimate daughter of the Qiyun Clan, the true Nine Heavens Fairy. The distance between them would only grow further and further.
"Oh!" Yuan Zinuo couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Everyone liked to find a belief in their hearts and make themselves submit to that belief. Qi Yunru was now the belief of all the people of the Hanyu Empire. It was sacred and inviolable. However, if they knew how childish the god-like Imperial Advisor was when he fought with Ouyang Xu, who knew what their expressions would be. Just thinking about it made her look forward to it. Yuan Zinuo imagined all kinds of expressions in her heart.
"What are you laughing at?" Ouyang Xu stared at Qi Yunru, who was carefully served by the people of the Feng Residence like a moon surrounded by stars. He understood why every generation's emperor was so afraid of the Imperial Advisor. He was, after all, the crown prince personally conferred by the emperor, but at this moment, he had completely become a foil. He believed that even if the emperor came, his treatment would not be any better.
"Am I laughing? He was clearly smiling openly!" Yuan Zinuo rolled her eyes at Ouyang Xu and walked into the residence.
When they arrived at the main hall, Qi Yunru was naturally placed on the main seat while Ouyang Xu leaned on Yuan Zinuo's side.
"Lord Preceptor, I have already ordered people to clean up the courtyard. You have traveled all the way here and must be tired. Wash up and rest first. We have already prepared a banquet.”Prime Minister Feng lowered his head slightly, not daring to look Qi Yunru in the eye.
"There's no need for a banquet. My daughter is afraid of the cold.”Qi Yunru stood up and walked to Yuan Zinuo's side expressionlessly. She immediately put on a gentle face." Place my courtyard together with Xiao Nuo's!"”
Yuan Zinuo secretly covered her mouth and laughed. She glanced at Ouyang Xu beside her and saw that Ouyang Xu's face was really dark. Qi Yunru did this on purpose to guard against Ouyang Xu. On the way, Ouyang Xu secretly ran into her room in the middle of the night and insisted on sleeping with her. The next day, he was caught red-handed by Qi Yunru. From then on, Qi Yunru never left her side and was always on guard against the rapist.
Gongsun Yu also knew about this matter, so he smiled and looked at Ouyang Xu. After being glared at fiercely by Ouyang Xu, he turned his head away and continued to smile.
Prime Minister Feng didn't know about the relationship between them, nor did he know that Yuan Zinuo was Qi Yunru's daughter. He looked at Gongsun Yu and saw that Gongsun Yu nodded.”
Originally, it was Gongsun Yu's idea for the Feng Residence to arrange Yuan Zinuo's room in the courtyard of the Feng Family's Eldest Miss, who was also Gongsun Yu's deceased mother. Since Qi Yunru had requested it, they could only move the things prepared for Yuan Zinuo to the Orchid Garden prepared for Qi Yunru. Ouyang Xu was regarded as a dangerous person by Qi Yunru and was rejected outside the door. He was resentful and did not want to leave for a long time.
The moment Yuan Zinuo entered the room, she nestled into the soft couch and wrapped herself up tightly. After dinner, he was reading a random book he asked Gongsun Yu for when an uninvited guest arrived.
Feng Xiaowan walked into Yuan Zinuo's room unwillingly. She glanced at the furnishings in the room and felt even more displeased. The snow silk quilt was warm in winter and cool in summer. It could adjust the temperature according to a person's body temperature. It was a gift from Gongsun Yu and the Sage Emperor. There was also the snow-white mink fur cloak hanging beside Yuan Zinuo. Everything in this room was the best. Even the incense she smoked was a specialty of the West Liao Dynasty. It was only used by the royal family and members of the royal family. Why was she allowed to enjoy these good things, and why was she sent here to ask if she was comfortable?
"Miss Feng, are you here to stand here and stare at me?”Yuan Zinuo's eyes never left the book. She knew that Feng Xiaowan was sizing up the furnishings in the room and asked coldly.
Feng Xiaowan bit her lower lip, her small hand constantly fiddling with the handkerchief in her hand, but she could not say anything. The servant girl beside her saw that she was silent and pulled her sleeve. She had no choice but to speak." My grandfather asked me to ask you if there's anything else you need!”Even if he opened his mouth, he still held his head high.
Yuan Zinuo's lips curled up coldly. She had no interest in bickering with a silly and naive little girl." Please tell Prime Minister Feng that I don't lack anything and that he doesn't need to worry!”
Feng Xiaowan glared at Yuan Zinuo and stormed out of the room. Yuan Zinuo put down her book and looked at the two servant girls beside her." I'm tired and want to rest!”
"Yes, sir!" The two servant girls exchanged glances and carefully served Yuan Zinuo to wash up. They were sent by Gongsun Yu and knew that their young master was interested in this girl, so they naturally did not dare to neglect her.
The next day, Yuan Zinuo slept all the way until seven in the morning. She was lazily woken up by a servant girl. Northern Qiong King knew that Qi Yunru had come and personally came to Feng Manor to pay his respects. Qi Yunru naturally couldn't decline. In the afternoon, Prime Minister Feng held a banquet in the manor, and Yuan Zinuo had no choice but to attend.
The three dukes and six ministers of the Northern Vault Kingdom knew that Qi Yunru was here, so they all wanted to pay their respects. However, Qi Yunru rejected all of them. Today, when they heard that the Northern Vault King was here, they also shamelessly followed him. The Feng Residence became lively.
Yuan Zinuo didn't like such occasions, but she had no choice but to participate. After being pestered by the servant maids for a long time, she reluctantly walked out of the room. The Snow City was too cold. As soon as she stepped out of the room, a gust of cold wind blew. Yuan Zinuo hurriedly put on her cloak and hat.
