Female Master: The Cold Prince

Chapter 18 Lantern Festival

Xiahou Jiuyue frowned and thought for a while, then said, "You go back to the palace first, and remember not to reveal your whereabouts. Keep an eye on anyone who appears around your father, and wait for me to return to the capital for the rest."

"Yes, master."

Since the master did not punish her, she must make amends this time and not let the master down.

"Master, Master Yu has woken up."

At this time, Ye Yi's voice came from outside the door.

Hearing this, Xiahou Jiuyue raised her hand towards Ye Wu. Seeing this, Ye Wu understood and immediately disappeared from the spot.

On this side, Yu Suyuan's heart has been beating wildly since he woke up.

Because, just now, he learned from Ye Yi that A Yue, who never interacted with others, actually carried him to the room personally and told him not to wake him up and let him have a good rest.

I think he should still be a little different in Ayue's heart.

After all, in this year, he had never seen A Yue be as gentle and considerate to other men as she was to him.

Moreover, everyone was afraid of her, but he was not.

"What are you thinking about? You look so happy."

As soon as Xiahou Jiuyue entered the room, she saw the person smiling foolishly on the bed and immediately thought he was cute.

Yu Suyuan was startled. He immediately got up from the bed with a slight blush on his cheeks.

"Ayue, you're here. Where did you go?"

Seeing the embarrassment on his face, Xiahou Jiuyue stopped teasing him and walked to the table and sat down.

"In order to avoid disturbing you, I will go to the next room to rest. Ye Yi, ask someone to serve the meal!"

The inn moved quickly and efficiently, and soon the waiter arrived with six dishes and a soup.

Several people looked at the delicious dishes on the table and couldn't help swallowing.

During these days, they ate the same food as the army, with very little oil and water.

"Ye Yi, you should sit down and eat with us." Xiahou Jiuyue said.

For her, there is no distinction between high and low, and everyone is equal.

Besides, Ye Yi has always followed her and is loyal to her, so she will not treat her own people unfairly.

"Yes."

Ye Yi also sat down. She had always been with her master, so she knew the rules of her master.

Yu Suyuan was already used to it. Since A Yue felt sorry for his subordinates, he naturally wouldn't say anything.

Several people were already starving, so they stopped talking and ate quietly.

After dinner, Xiahou Jiuyue found a cloak for Yu Suyuan to put on and prepared to take him out.

There will be a lantern festival in the town tonight, and she wants to take him out for a walk.

As soon as they arrived outside the inn, Xiahou Jiuyue saw a familiar figure. The man saw Xiahou Jiuyue and nodded slightly at her.

Seeing this, Xiahou Jiuyue stopped.

"A Yuan, I suddenly have something important to deal with. You go and take a look first, and I'll come later, okay?"

Hearing this, the smile on Yu Suyuan's face froze instantly.

"Okay, Ayue, it's important to deal with the important things. Don't worry. I'll wait for you."

When Xiahou Jiuyue saw that he was in a low mood and had a forced smile, she suddenly felt an indescribable feeling flash through her heart.

"Okay, I'll come find you soon."

"Ye Yi, you stay with A Yuan. The streets are crowded, so remember not to disperse." Xiahou Jiuyue instructed.

"Yes." Ye Yi.

After Xiahou Jiuyue finished her instructions, she nodded slightly to the man in the dark, then turned and entered the inn.

The man in the dark also disappeared into the night.

Yu Suyuan had a lonely look in his eyes. Looking at the bustling and lively streets, he felt that he couldn't muster any interest at all.

At this moment, the street was already crowded with people, each holding an exquisite lantern in their hands and smiling brightly.

There is a local custom that during the Lantern Festival, all men in the boudoir can go out to look for their own perfect match.

If you are in love, you can go on a date openly that night. Otherwise, single men and women will meet their ideal person by chance that night.

The Lantern Festival is equivalent to the Chinese Valentine's Day.

"Yoichi, let's go!"

After saying that, Yu Suyuan walked towards the street with a lonely look.

Seeing him like this, Ye Yi sighed slightly in his heart and quickly followed him.

At this time, inside the inn.

"Ye Qi meets the master."

Ye Qi was dressed in black, with a cold face. There was not much expression on her face at the moment.

She was the person in the dark just now.

"Get up, what's the situation?" Xiahou Jiuyue.

"My Lord, everything is as planned. Of the people that the Lord arranged earlier, two have already entered the court of Yuxia State, and the others are still developing at the bottom."

"That's great. Let them gain a firm foothold first, and then secretly promote our own people. Remember, don't be careless and act too hastily, otherwise you will end up losing more than you gain." Xiahou Jiuyue.

In the past few years, she has been secretly developing her own power. Not only that, she has also infiltrated those forces into various countries and even the imperial court.

Because she believed that as long as she was powerful enough, she would be able to control her own destiny and protect the people around her.

In this cruel world, without absolute power, everything is just empty talk.

Back then, it was because she knew the laws of this world that she went to the battlefield without hesitation and fear of life and death. Only in this way could she break free from the control of that group of people and develop her own power.

The Yuxia Kingdom was the main force that joined forces with other countries to attack the Fenglin Kingdom.

On the battlefield that year, she cleverly designed a plan that caused heavy casualties to the Yuxia Kingdom and its army was completely defeated.

Later, she learned from the secret guards that the court of Yuxia was in chaos, the ministers had different political views, and the internal fighting was fierce. The people of Yuxia were suffering and wailing.

She knew that her chance had come.

She sent the orphans who had been secretly raised before to Yuxia Kingdom one by one during the civil strife, and let them take part in Yuxia Kingdom's civil and military examinations.

She wanted to have her own influence in the court of Yuxia Kingdom.

"Yes." Ye Qi said.

"By the way, go inform Ye San and ask her to train another group of beggars to be responsible for gathering intelligence." Xiahou Jiuyue gave another instruction.

Since ancient times, beggars have been the freest people, and they come into contact with all kinds of people every day.

They are a huge group and can be found in every corner. Nothing that happens on the streets every day escapes their eyes.

Not only is this group of people difficult to notice, but each of them also has the ability to read people's expressions. If they are trained properly, they will definitely be no worse than the intelligence center in a brothel.

Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across Ye Qi's eyes. After thinking carefully, another expression finally appeared on her face.

She looked at her master in shock and admiration, and said excitedly, "Yes, Master."

When Xiahou Jiuyue saw her like this, she knew that she had already known her true intention. She was extremely intelligent and understood it immediately.

"Okay, let's go."

"Yes, I am resigning."

In an instant, she disappeared from the room, and Xiahou Jiuyue disappeared with her.

On the street, Yu Suyuan was walking aimlessly with a lantern in his hand, looking depressed. Ye Yi followed him silently, and neither of them said a word.

Ye Yi naturally knew the purpose of Ye Qi's coming here, so she was not in a position to persuade Master Yu that for some things, the less outsiders knew about them, the better.
