"Father, it is my fault. I should never have forced Liu Yuchen to marry me. It is natural that he holds a grudge against me. After that near death experience, I have paid for everything that I have done to him. From now on, we will be like two parallel lines—never to intersect again," Feng Ruqing said with a bright smile on her face.
Since Liu Yuchen had never held Feng Ruqing in his heart, she would let him go. Presently, Liu Yuchen was nothing to her as she was no longer the old princess.
"My daughter has finally grown up." Slightly startled, Feng Tianyu stared at Feng Ruqing as he heaved a sigh of relief.
The chancellor had always been loyal to Liu Yun Kingdom. However, the emperor had forced the chancellor's son to marry Feng Ruqing because she loved him. It was by pure luck that Feng Ruqing had decided to let Liu Yuchen go. Otherwise, the emperor would not have hesitated to break Liu Yuchen's legs so that he would stay by Feng Ruqing's side for the rest of his life.
"Father, I was not properly guided back then. I met Mother in my dream. She had guided me through all the morals and conduct of life. Father, you are a wise emperor. Don't get off track because of me." Feng Ruqing lowered her eyes as she pouted.
Hearing this, the Noble Consort Rong's face darkened. She had watched the princess grow up all these years. When Feng Ruqing said that she was not properly guided, was she telling others that Noble Consort Rong did not guide her properly?
"Qing Er, have you met Yan'er?" Feng Tian held onto Feng Ruqing's fleshy hands.
Feng Ruqing raised her head and smiled at Feng Tianyu. Her face was not pleasant to the eyes but her smile was as bright as sunshine, lighting up the chamber.
"Father, this is not Liu Yuchen's fault. I was too naive, ill tempered, fat and ugly. It was natural that Liu Yuchen did not want to marry me. Father, don't vent your anger on the chancellor's family."
Feng Ruqing was right. It was not Liu Yuchen's fault, he was forced to marry a notorious princess. She had even laid her hands on Tan Shuangshuang and caused the chancellor's wife to blackout from rage. As Liu Yuchen had always been filial and cared for his parents, he divorced the princess out of anger.
The princess had gone too far. Otherwise, she could still live a peaceful life in the chancellor's manor.
"Nonsense! My daughter is the top lady in Liu Yun Kingdom. Don't be too humble. Although you are slightly flabby than others, no one else looks more appealing than you." Feng Tianyu furrowed his brow as he said.
Feng Ruqing smiled bashfully. It was true that children were always the apple of their parent's eyes. If his words were heard outside those walls, she was pretty sure that she would be mocked.
"Your Majesty, it's time for the morning audience." Liu Rong got up slowly and walked toward Feng Tianyu. Her voice was full of tenderness.
"Qing'er, I will visit you again after the morning audience." Feng Tianyu's gaze swept passed Liu Rong with annoyance and landed on Feng Ruqing.
"Father, I feel better. Don't worry about me."
"You are my daughter. I want to spend more time with you." Feng Tianyu got up. His domineering demeanor was overwhelming.
"The princess is sick. No one is allowed to meet her without my permission," said Feng Ruqing as he glanced at Liu Rong.
