Qi Yunru was born noble and did not like to make friends with others. Due to the special status of the Qiyun family, no one dared to make friends with him, so he had developed a cold and arrogant personality. This time, he attended the birthday celebration of Prime Minister Feng by coincidence, so he was still indifferent.
Yuan Zinuo knew that her father had a proud and aloof personality. Seeing that everyone was particularly restrained because of his arrival, she was afraid that it would affect Prime Minister Feng's birthday banquet, so she quickly came out to smooth things over." Prime Minister Feng, my father said that the third generation of the Feng family is the prime minister. He is honest and upright, and is loved by the people of the Northern Vault. He also admires you very much and specially prepared a birthday gift for you!”Yuan Zinuo took out a box and handed it to Prime Minister Feng. After hearing about Gongsun Yu's background, Yuan Zinuo's heart ached even more for Gongsun Yu. She had always been protective of her friends. She could entrust her life to her friends, but she would not show mercy to her enemies. Prime Minister Feng was Gongsun Yu's grandfather. She loved him, so she had prepared this gift in advance.
When Prime Minister Feng heard Yuan Zinuo's words, he was even more surprised. He took the box with a majestic expression and stood up to thank him." Thank you, Imperial Preceptor. This old man is ashamed to accept it!"”Opening the box, there was a pill inside. Prime Minister Feng didn't know what it was, but he was still smiling.
"This is a Resurrection Pill that my father requested from Lingxi of the Mystic Medicine Valley. It can extend one's lifespan by a year!”They met Gongsun Yu as soon as they left the valley. Knowing that it was Prime Minister Feng's birthday, they went back to look for Xiao Ling, who gave her this Soul Returning Pill.
When everyone heard this, there was an uproar. Soul Returning Pill? Mystic Medicine Valley? It could even extend one's lifespan by a year. What mortals wanted was nothing more than longevity. The Imperial Advisor had actually asked for something from Mystic Medicine Valley. That was equivalent to an immortal pill!
Prime Minister Feng was already grinning from ear to ear. He quickly closed the box and handed it to his eldest son. Then, he kowtowed to Qi Yunru." Thank you for your kindness, Preceptor!"”
Qi Yunru looked at Yuan Zinuo and saw that Yuan Zinuo was winking at him. She turned around and helped Prime Minister Feng up." Prime Minister Feng, you don't have to be so formal!”
The Northern Qiong Monarch laughed heartily. He thought that the Imperial Tutor was treating Prime Minister Feng this way because of Gongsun Yu. Thinking about how his son could marry the daughter of the Qiyun family, he was extremely excited.
Following that, the descendants of the Feng family also gave their own gifts. They gave rare antiques, Tianshan snow lotus, thousand-year-old ginseng, and everything else. Gongsun Yu gave him a painting of a thousand old men, which symbolized good luck. The prime minister was overjoyed.
After the meal, the women were arranged to admire the flowers in the garden, while the male guests chatted with each other in groups.
"Muzhi, we have barely met in the past ten years. Now that you have found your daughter, my heart is very comforted. Regardless of whether sister-in-law is dead or alive, she will also feel gratified!”Feng Jinmo and Qi Yunru were sitting at the side chatting. Because they had a close relationship, they called him by his name.
Qi Yunru nodded slightly, her eyes warm and satisfied." I didn't expect to see our daughter again. I've let Xiaoyou down in this life, but to be able to have this daughter is already the greatest gift from heaven!”
"I came to congratulate you on your birthday because I knew you were here. Last time in the Holy Capital, you left in a hurry and weren't in a good state. I was very worried about you!”Feng Jinmo and Qi Yunru grew up together and had similar temperaments. They had a deep relationship, so they were especially concerned." What's with your white hair?”
Qi Yunru's expression turned serious. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath." When are you leaving?”
Feng Jinmo saw that Qi Yunru was unwilling to mention this matter, so he gave up." We'll leave tomorrow!"”
The two of them chatted about some things. Most of the time, it was Feng Jinmo who spoke and Qi Yunru who listened. Others did not dare to disturb them because of their identities.
Yuan Zinuo didn't like to be with those chattering women, so she returned to her room alone. There were many people in the residence today, and the two servant girls who served her were also sent out. She was happy to be free and nestled on the soft steps to read.
Hearing footsteps, Yuan Zinuo knew it was Ouyang Xu. She ignored him and continued reading.
Ouyang Xu took the book from Yuan Zinuo's hands and narrowed his eyes mysteriously." I'll bring you to watch a good show!"”
Yuan Zinuo snatched the book." Not interested!”
" I couldn't sleep last night, so I went out for a stroll. Then, I accidentally walked into the Northern Vault Palace and saw my aunt on a date with someone. Then…" Ouyang Xu deliberately paused again and stared at Yuan Zinuo mysteriously.
"Your aunt?" Ouyang Yongsi? Yuan Zinuo's eyes gleamed as she looked at Ouyang Xu sneakily." You're going out for a walk?”Did she not understand him? He was petty and vengeful. Ouyang Yongsi must have used her marriage as an excuse. He must have held a grudge, so he wanted to find fault with Ouyang Yongsi. That was why he deliberately stayed up in the middle of the night and went to the Northern Vault Palace. She did not expect him to really find out.
"Then what are you going to do?" Yuan Zinuo got up and tidied up her clothes, staring at Ouyang Xu expectantly.
"Just follow me to the garden!" Ouyang Xu took a cloak from the side and draped it over her. He held Yuan Zinuo's small hand and walked out of the room to the garden.
In order to make it convenient for the womenfolk to admire the flowers today, the Feng manor had specially built a terrace on the artificial lake in the garden and placed dozens of tables. At this moment, a group of women were in the garden. It could be said that the flowers were colorful and colorful. Women always liked to compare, especially on such an occasion. Naturally, they would put in a lot of effort to dress themselves up, hoping to outshine other women.
Yuan Zinuo had always felt that she was already so old that it was inevitable that she would fall behind if she continued to compete with these young ladies for beauty. Thus, she was especially low-key and only wore an ordinary cotton coat with a thin blue brocade cloak. Her black hair was casually tied up into a ponytail with a jade hairpin. Her clear water hibiscus outfit seemed a little out of place among the beauties, but it was particularly eye-catching.
"Greetings, Your Highness!" When everyone saw Ouyang Xu come over, they all paid their respects. Some young unmarried women even shyly glanced at Ouyang Xu from the corner of their eyes. That look of wanting to say something but not wanting to say it, their sparkling eyes made Yuan Zinuo very unhappy. The two of them had walked over hand in hand and had clearly told everyone that this man was already taken, but those girls completely ignored her existence, as if she was superfluous.
"Is Your Highness the Crown Prince also here to admire the flowers?”Gong Sun Ying looked at the two of them holding hands. Her eyes were filled with complicated emotions, but she still maintained the standard smile on her face.
Ouyang Xu was surprisingly friendly today. He smiled and led Yuan Zinuo to an empty seat at the side." I heard from Miss Feng that the four seasons of the Feng Residence are different. Today, I specially brought Xiao Nuo here to take a look!" Just watch yourselves, don't bother with us!”
The other women were already whispering to each other. Among them, the bold ones even went forward to fawn over them. Some came to pour tea, some came to pour wine, and some came purely to take a look and say a few words. Ouyang Xu was especially kind today, and he did not reject anyone.
Yuan Zinuo glared fiercely at Ouyang Xu in front of her, implying that she shouldn't be too obvious when attracting bees and butterflies. Ouyang Xu held her hand and gave her a reassuring look.
At this moment, a man who looked like a eunuch ran to Gongsun Ying's side and panted," Princess, Princess, it's bad. The King has suddenly fainted. The Princess Consort requests that you go to the paradise immediately!”
When Gong Sun Ying heard this, his expression suddenly turned grave." What? Father? Go, lead the way!"
Yuan Zinuo looked at Ouyang Xu beside her and saw him winking at her. She understood that a good show was about to begin.
"Let's go!" Ouyang Xu held Yuan Zinuo's hand and followed Gong Sun Ying to the paradise.
The peach blossom garden was completely surrounded. As soon as the two of them arrived, everyone made way for them.
In the small building, the Northern Qiong King's eyes were tightly shut as he lay motionless on the bed. Beside him, Ouyang Yongsi and Gongsun Yu were extremely anxious. An old man was kneeling by the bed, taking Lord Beiqiong's pulse. His expression was solemn.
"How is the king?" Ouyang Yongsi's eyes were fixed on the old man. When he saw the old man stand up, he immediately asked.
" Princess Consort, His Majesty's illness is strange. I, I…" The old man lowered his head and did not dare to speak the truth for a long time.
"Hurry up and tell me!" Ouyang Yongsi had clearly lost his patience as he berated angrily.
"I can't find out what the problem is!" The old man knelt on the ground with a thud and bowed his head.
When Ouyang Yongsi heard this, he frowned slightly and looked at Gongsun Yu beside him." Go and find more. Find all the imperial physicians!"”
"Princess, why don't you let me take a look?”Qi Yunru had been standing at the side and didn't say anything. She walked up to the Beiqiong Lord.
"Right, right, how could I forget? The state preceptor's medical skills are brilliant.”Ouyang Yongsi felt much more relaxed. He made way for Qi Yun to take his pulse.
When Yuan Zinuo and Ouyang Xu came in, they saw Qi Yunru sitting by the bed and taking the pulse of the Beiqiong King. Gongsun Ying quickly walked to Ouyang Yongsi's side and looked anxiously at the Beiqiong King.
Qi Yunru's expression was suddenly solemn and confused, causing everyone's hearts to rise and fall. Finally, Qi Yunru let go of his hand and stood up." He's not sick. He's been disturbed by a vengeful spirit and has lost consciousness. That's why he's unconscious!”
Everyone was in an uproar, especially Prime Minister Feng. His eyebrows were furrowed as if he was thinking about something.
"What is it? A vengeful spirit? Where did the vengeful spirit come from?" Gongsun Yu was shocked and looked at Qi Yunru in confusion. If someone else had said this, he would have accused him of spreading heresy to deceive the public. However, this was said by the state preceptor, so it was credible." Then, state preceptor, do you have a solution?"”
Qi Yunru looked at the Beiqiong King on the bed and then at Gongsun Yu." As soon as I walked into this room, I realized that there was a lot of resentment here. There must be a vengeful spirit lingering here. Why did you come here today?"”
Ouyang Yongsi already understood in his heart, but he didn't dare to show too much on his face." This is the residence of the late princess consort, Yu 'er's mother, Feng Zhuo, before she got married. It's Prime Minister Feng's birthday. The king misses his sister, so he came to take a look! However, how could his sister harm His Majesty?”

However, how could his sister harm His Majesty?”
Prime Minister Feng walked to the front with his head lowered and knelt on the ground." Your Majesty, it's my fault. After Tao 'er died, I missed my beloved daughter, so I ordered people not to touch a single blade of grass or tree here. I also often come here to remember my daughter. I have seen my daughter's soul here many times. Every time I see her, she says that she died unjustly and wants me to seek justice for her. However, I think that perhaps I miss my daughter so much that my eyes are blurry, so I see those unclean things. I never thought that I would actually harm the king today! It's my fault. I shouldn't have let the king come here!”
