Chu Xiaoran was always feeling uneasy after returning to the palace, and he had only met his aunt once.

Although she was the current emperor, she treated him kindly and amiably, without any imperial intimidation.

My aunt and my father are blood relatives, so I can feel the shadow of my father in my aunt.

"Princess, His Majesty has granted you a mansion at the South Gate. You can stay in the palace for one night after the dinner tonight. We can move into the new house tomorrow."

The palace maid next to him said that this was the person the emperor sent him, named Qingyu.

Qingyu entered the palace when she was ten years old. Now she is fifteen years old. Five years have passed in a flash.

"Qingyu, I..."

Chu Xiaoran wanted to say something but stopped himself. He wanted to return to Ye Country, but all the things in front of him came flooding in all at once and he really couldn't cope with it.

"Master, do you have any concerns?"

Qingyu is the attendant given to Chu Xiaoran by the emperor, so naturally she has to care about his mood.

Chu Xiaoran felt like there was something stuck in his throat and he couldn't express the concerns in his heart.

After all, Qingyu is someone close to my aunt, so it’s better not to cause trouble. He does feel restrained sometimes when he’s by my aunt’s side.

"Master, are you worried about today's dinner?"

Chu Xiaoran nodded. The courtyard they were in now was the aunt's mansion, which was the back hall of Yuguo Fengjun.

"Master, don't worry. Although Her Majesty is strict and always has a stern face, she is kind to all of us servants in private."

"It's not because of my aunt."

Chu Xiaoran sighed. He had been in Yu Kingdom for several days already. During this time, he had been living in his uncle's palace. One or two days would be fine, but wouldn't it be against the rules to stay there for several days in a row?

"Is that because of Feng Jun?"

"It's not good for me to live with my uncle all the time. Besides, I have never met him face to face. If there is a misunderstanding, wouldn't it be..."

"Isn't it nothing?"

Qingyu was just about to speak to comfort her when she heard a voice coming from the door. Qingyu quickly pulled Chu Xiaoran and knelt down at the door.

"Slave, I greet His Majesty the Phoenix Lord!"

Chu Xiaoran quickly reacted and bowed, saying, "Xiaoran, I greet His Highness Feng Jun."

There were no signs of aging on the face of the man in casual clothes. Although he was already 35 years old, he was well maintained.

Shangguan Yilin looked at Chu Xiaoran for a while, then walked over and helped him up.

"Are you Brother Jingbi's son?"

Chu Xiaoran looked at the man in front of him. Although this man was trying to get close to him, his words were distant. Although there was a smile on his lips, the smile did not reach his eyes.

He is Shangguan Yilin, my aunt’s white moonlight, the person my aunt has liked since childhood?

Now he has become the Feng Jun of Yu State and possesses supreme power.

"In reply to Lord Feng, this is the posthumous child of His Royal Highness the Eldest Prince."

Seeing that Chu Xiaoran was slow to respond, Qingyu stepped forward to help.

Chu Xiaoran was not afraid, but the person in front of him always made him feel a little uncomfortable, which made him feel uneasy and panic.

Shangguan Yilin had a smile on his face. Chu Xiaoran stood in front of him, looking at the man carefully, as if he wanted to see through him.

But Chu Xiaoran has never experienced much in the world, so how could he understand the undercurrents here?

"Sure enough, he looks just like his brother. They are just like each other."

Chu Xiaoran listened to Shangguan Yilin's praise and put on a smile on his face, but he was just pretending.
