Wu Shuyu looked at her now dismantled courtyard. There were at least a hundred workers here tearing down and rebuilding her courtyard from scratch! Even the wall in the back was torn down and the trees were being uprooted! Her once small courtyard was turning into a lavish palace! Wu Shuyu was just as stunned as Qin Ming. She did not snap out of it until a melodic voice whispered next to her ear. "It will be done by tomorrow. So for tonight you will come to this King's palace and meet this King's Imperial Concubine Mother."
Wu Shuyu blushed as she fidgeted with her fingers. Wasn't he going really fast!? But when she thought about it. Having his support was a good thing and it seemed even her father could not say or do anything about what Feng Jie decided to do. Even if Feng Jie killed every one of his children there was not a thing he could do. Wu Shuyu turned her gaze away from the construction in the courtyard and focused on Feng Jie's handsome appearance. Unlike those novels that she read in her past life. She did not have any mysterious power or ancient artifact that was bound to her soul to help her along the way. Relying on Feng Jie might not be so bad. She will take it slow and see where this wind will take her. She had a year before they were to get married. She will see how he acts within this time. If he truly cares for her, by the time their wedding night comes around he will not force her to do anything she is not ready to do. But seeing his display of affection so far he has already started to worm his way into her heart.
Seeing his Little Thing staring at him Feng Jie smiled as he said: "Is this King that good looking that you can not pull your eyes away?"
"Un! Very handsome! I… Hmm… I guess I should use "this Princess" now… This Princess finds you very appealing to the eye. In the near future my dear Jie'er you will need to show me much more of your appeal." Wu Shuyu's eyes lowered scanning Feng Jie's body with lustful eyes while licking her lips.
Feng Jie was not bothered by this he actually liked it and said: "If my Yu'er wants to see more this King will happily oblige!" Feng Jie slowly started to undo his robes.
Wu Shuyu's eyes widen! She really wanted to see but she had to hold herself back or she might cross a line she couldn't cross yet! She tried to calm her self down as she internally told herself: "There will be many chances for this in the future but now it's still too early!" Quickly stopping Feng Jie before he could undo his robes, Wu Shuyu said: "When I have proper meat buns we can take a nice long look... Hmm yes, nice and long, a few days perhaps." She really wanted to see under his robes! Just thinking about what she had felt last night she already knew he had toned muscles! But she had not seen them yet! Although she was always an upfront person she still could not help but blush when in front of this handsome man. But this still did not stop her from speaking her mind.
Feng Jie let out a laugh as he watched the reactions of his Little Thing. He pulled her into his embrace as he started pointing at the courtyard that was being rebuilt. "I had these people come in without your father knowing. They were actually waiting for you to leave before they came in. I had some of the maids you see here pack all of your belongings. Once they were packed we woke your personal maid up and then packed her stuff up before tearing everything down."
Feng Jie's explanation explained why Qin Ming was so confused. People came out of nowhere packed her stuff up without saying a word and tore down the courtyard. Wu Shuyu smiled as she said: "Ming'er we will be going to Jie Palace for the night. I am officially engaged to Jie'er and was given the title Princess Xiannu."
Qin Ming stared blankly at her young miss. 'Princess Xiannu? Her young miss was conferred a title and one that gave emphasis on her beauty! But Jie'er..?' It was only now that Qin Ming had noticed Feng Jie's existence. Qin Ming's face paled and all Feng Jie and Wu Shuyu heard as a plopping sound as Qin Ming fell to her knees and kowtowed.
"This servant did not notice your highness was here! This servant has committed a grave sin for not properly greeting your highness. Please spare this servant's life! I am the only one that cares for my Young Miss within this manor! I do not wish to leave her alone to suffer the hardships and unjust treatment this manor imposes on the Young Miss!" Qin Ming had tears in her eyes as she pushed her forehead as hard as she could into the ground as if she was trying to merge her head with it.
"Ming'er get up! No one is going to take your life. You're too cute to be ruining your forehead on this dirty ground." Wu Shuyu quickly went forward and helped Qin Ming up.
"Un. This King would not dare to kill anyone Yu'er thinks of as family. The consequences would not be something this King could handle." Hearing these words touched Wu Shuyu. She looked over at Feng Jie and gave him a genuine smile. This smile pierced more of Feng Jie's cold heart leaving him dumbstruck as he looked at her. After a few seconds, he came back to reality. He looked at the girl in front of him and knew that there would be no other girl that struck him so. "Let's head to the palace! The shadow guards and maids will watch over the betrothal gifts tonight." Feng Jie then turned and looked at one of the maids. "If anyone gets any designs on these gifts even if it's the General himself beat them until they only have a strand of life left in them. Then tie them up and Yu'er will deal with them when she gets back tomorrow." The maid saluted and turned to relay the orders to the others. "Good! Let's go!"
