Chapter 142: That Child Looks Like the Prince Regent

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Upon hearing the little bun’s words, Yu Yunxi knew that he was really hurt by what happened today. She hugged the little bun and said seriously, “Alright, let’s return to Xinan when we have the chance. There’s nothing there to make us sad.”

After comforting the little bun, Yu Yunxi left the room and saw Qian Jiao and Qian Mei waiting at the door. There was also another familiar face.

Qian Ji said, “County Princess, I have returned.”

Yu Yunxi nodded. Qian Ji was reliable, and with his presence, she could rest assured.

“County Princess, what are we going to do about Nanyue?” Qian Ji asked in a grave tone. Clearly, he also knew about the matter.

“Spread the news from Xinan. We must let more people in the capital know about it. This way, it’ll naturally reach the Emperor’s ears,” Yu Yunxi said calmly.

Even if people from the King of Xinan’s Residence went to the palace to report this matter to the Emperor, he would not be worried. It was more likely that he would suspect the King of Xinan’s Residence had lied about the severity of the situation so Yu Yunxi and the others could leave the capital. However, if the entire capital knew about it, it would be different.

Qian Ji and the others exchanged a look. They understood Yu Yunxi’s intention.

“Alright, I’ll get to it immediately!” Qian Ji said before he left.

In the Empress Dowager’s palace in the imperial palace.

When Consort Ning and Feng Zixiu walked in, the Empress Dowager looked up, and her gaze quickly fell on Feng Zixiu. After ordering someone to remove the incense in front of her, she said, “Sister, I only invited you to the palace. I didn’t ask you to bring another person with you.”

Consort Dowager Ning was not flustered. She waited for Feng Zixiu to stand next to her before she calmly said, “Greetings, Empress Dowager. It’s been a long time since we last met. I wonder if you miss me…’

“Of course, I’ve missed you,” the Empress Dowager said with a faint smile on her face, but her eyes glinted coldly, “Of all the people who served the Great Ancestor back then, only you and I are still in the imperial family. The rest have either died or shaved their heads and became nuns. It’s only natural that we have deep feelings for each other. How could I not miss you?”

After a brief moment of silence, the Empress Dowager continued to say, “However, even if we have a good relationship, it doesn’t mean you bring another person into the palace without permission.”

Consort Dowager Ning’s gaze darkened briefly before she said calmly,

“Empress Dowager, Zixiu is the legitimate son of the Prince Regent.”

“The legitimate son of the Prince Regent?” the Empress Dowager sneered and said, “Consort Dowager Ning, if I remember correctly, the County Princess of Xinan is still the Princess Regent, right? This child isn’t even hers so how can he be the legitimate son of the Prince Regent?”

This time, the Empress Dowager no longer addressed Consort Dowager Ning as ‘Sister’.

Consort Dowager Ning’s expression was very unsightly. She knew things would not be easy. Her face was expressionless, and her tone was unfriendly as she said, “Empress Dowager, we agreed back then not to meddle in each other’s family affairs. You agreed not to interfere with the affairs of the Prince Regent’s Residence!”

The Empress Dowager’s expression darkened, and her voice was even more unfriendly as she said, “These things aren’t something you and I can decide on. These are the rules that our ancestors left behind!”

Consort Dowager Ning said indignantly, “That’s why I returned this time to ask Yili to divorce Yu Yunxi. If he’s unwilling, the Emperor can intervene. Why would our imperial family allow a lowly woman like her to be the Princess Regent?”

‘A lowly woman?’

The Empress Dowager’s eyes flashed. She had sent people to investigate Yu Yunxi so she was aware of what Yu Yunxi had done when she was in Xinan. She did not think Yu Yunxi was a lowly woman at all. How could a woman who could lead the troops to war and was highly trusted by the King of Xinan be lowly or ordinary? Moreover, Yu Yunxi was the daughter of Madam Xu.

A different emotion surged in the depths of the Empress Dowager’s eyes when she thought about Madam Xu. However, when she looked at Consort Dowager Ning again, her expression did not betray her thoughts at all. She said slowly, “It seems like you’ve thought about everything, Sister. It seems like it’s useless for me to stop you.”

“Empress Dowager, let’s not talk about what Yu Yunxi did in the past. She’s now a member of the King of Xinan’s Residence. Who knows if she has any ill intentions? Such a person will only be a disaster if she continues to stay in the Prince Regent’s Residence!” Consort Dowager Ning said, starting to attack Yu Yunxi again.

The Empresss Dowager lowered her gaze and pursed her lips, looking like she was deep in her thoughts. After a long time, she said lightly, “I have no control over the affairs of the Prince Regent’s Residence. You can do as you see fit.” Consort Dowager Ning heaved a sigh of relief when she heard these words.

‘Without this b*tch’s obstruction, it’ll be much easier for me to chase Yu Yunxi out of the Prince Regent’s Residence!’

Finally, Consort Dowager Ning shot Feng Zixiu a look and said, “Zixiu, hurry up and thank the Empress Dowager.”

Feng Zixiu quickly stepped forward and said with a bow, “Zixiu thanks the

Empress Dowager.”

At this moment, Consort Dowager Ning suddenly recalled that Shen Hezhi had said that the Empress Dowager had met the little bast*rd from the King of Xinan’s Residence and that the Empress Dowager even told the little bast*rd to visit her more often. She could not help but feel dissatisfied.

‘That little bast*rd is not likable at all even at first glance! This old b*tch must be blind to like such a child!’

In Consort Dowager Ning’s opinion, since the Empress Dowager took a liking to Yu Junjin, Feng Zixiu definitely would not be worse off. Hence, she quickly stood beside Feng Zixiu and asked, “Zixiu, do you like the Empress Dowager?”

Feng Zixiu was very shrewd. Upon hearing Consort Dowager Ning’s question, he nodded frantically and said, “Yes! I feel that the Empress Dowager is kind so I like her a lot!”

The Empress Dowager, who was sitting on the throne, felt the corners of her lips twitching when she heard these words. Then, she said indifferently, “Then when you truly become the legitimate son of the Prince Regent, you can visit me more often. I’m tired. You may take your leave.”

Hearing the Empress Dowager’s dismissal, Consort Dowager Ning’s eyes flashed with a hint of hatred.

‘If Yili had ascended the throne back then, would I have to lower myself in front of this b*tch and let her do as she pleased today?’

Consort Dowager Ning lowered her head and said through gritted teeth, “I’ll take my leave now.”

After Consort Dowager Ning and Feng Zixiu left, the elderly maidservant next to the Empress Dowager could not help but say, “Empress Dowager, that child was clearly trying to flatter you.”

“I know. They had gone to the Yu Residence earlier so they must have met Yu Yunxi and that child. That child that was raised by Consort Dowager Ning is arrogant and petty; he can’t compare to the King of Xinan’s grandson at all, ” the Empress Dowager said icily.

Thinking back to the time that she met the little bun, a smile appeared on the Empress Dowager’s face as she thought to herself, ‘What an interesting little fellow…

The maidservant frowned and continued to ask, “Empress Dowager, are you really going to allow Consort Dowager Ning to make that child the legitimate son of the Prince Regent? The Princess Regent is still around, how can she make the child of another woman the legitimate son and heir? This is against the rules…”

The maidservant was puzzled. After all, she knew that the Empress Dowager placed a huge importance on the rules. She could not figure out why the Empress Dowager agreed to Consort Dowager Ning so easily.

“Whether it’s before or now, that person with the surname Ning is very scheming and ruthless. Even if I don’t agree today, she’ll have countless ways to get her way. I might as well let her do what she wants. In any case, she’ll definitely regret it in the future,” the Empress Dowager said meaningfully. “She’ll definitely regret it in the future?” the maidservant asked, puzzled.

‘What does that mean?’

‘What?!’

Everyone looked at the Empress Dowager in shock.

“Hopefully, the Prince Regent won’t be too muddle-headed,” the Empress Dowager said with a sigh as she slowly rose to her feet, “Alright, I’m tired. All of you can leave..”
