Chu Yu was extremely satisfied.
He left with his head held high and a confident stride after getting dressed.
Chu Zhaowei and Chu Renzhi exchanged glances before Chu Zhaowei asked softly, "Do you think it's true?"
"How would I know? But to receive such huge news, why do I shamefully feel like the beating I got was somewhat deserved!" Chu Renzhi said, rubbing his chin.
"Shameless!"
The two helped each other up. Chu Yu had just given them a beating, not a thrashing to death. Their pitiful cries made Chu Yu stop earlier.
Upon exiting the practice room, Chu Zhaowei said with resentment, "One day, I'll demolish this place!"
"I believe in you, go for it!"
After walking through a few corridors, they reached the garden and saw Princess Jinfeng, accompanied by Si Qin and Si Ju, seemingly about to leave.
The two scurried over at once, "Little Aunt, are you going out?"
Princess Jinfeng looked at them, with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, "Why, have you two been beaten again?"
In the Capital City, the only one who can openly beat these two is Chu Yu; even the Emperor wouldn't dare lay a hand on them.
If these two came to any harm, Prince Cheng and Prince Kang would surely attack with their armies at once.
The Emperor was afraid, but Chu Yu wasn't. So, towards these two nephews, as long as they didn't provoke him, all was good; but if they did, they would end up with a beating.
Ironically, being beaten had become a bad habit for them. No matter how Chu Yu beat them, they would still cheekily follow him around.
Chu Zhaowei and Chu Renzhi laughed, "Little Aunt, how did you know again?"
"Seeing you walking crookedly, I guessed!" Princess Jinfeng replied. Her eyes twinkled slightly, "How were you beaten?"
Wasn't her brother's temper supposed to have mellowed a lot? Strange!
The moment Chu Zhaowei heard that, he suddenly forgot all his pain. He looked around, and seeing no sign of Chu Yu, he moved closer to Princess Jinfeng, "Little Aunt, do you know Yun Qi, the second son of the Yun Family?"
Princess Jinfeng was taken aback for a moment.
Yun Qi, wasn't he Yun Jinnian's father?
"I know a little, what about him?"
"Today, we saw him while dining with Uncle Emperor at Huiquan Tower!" Chu Zhaowei said, licking his lips. "He was accompanied by a woman and a little girl. The woman was quite attractive, and that little girl was exquisite, so adorable!"
Princess Jinfeng realized the reason why Chu Zhaowei and Chu Renzhi were beaten, but she pretended not to know and continued to ask, "Then what?"
"Then I took a second look; Uncle Emperor said that the little girl was an ugly freak, nothing to look at, and we left Huiquan Tower. Renzhi and I followed him out and got into Uncle Emperor's carriage. After babbling a few words on the carriage, we reached the Prince Rui Residence. Uncle Emperor took us to the practice room and gave us a beating!"
"Just like that?" Princess Jinfeng raised an eyebrow.
There doesn't seem to be anything noteworthy at all!
"Of course not, do you know what Uncle Emperor said after he beat us?" Chu Zhaowei said teasingly, his eyes gleaming mischievously.
Chu Renzhi also smiled ambiguously.
"Out with it!" Princess Jinfeng, getting impatient, kicked Chu Zhaowei.
"Uncle Emperor said he's taken a fancy to Yun Qi's daughter and intends to marry her as his Princess Consort!"
Chu Zhaowei waited to see Princess Jinfeng's shocked expression, but she responded very calmly, "Oh, I see!"
"Little Aunt, aren't you surprised? Everyone outside has been speculating that Uncle Emperor has a predilection for the same sex, and now he suddenly says he's taken a liking to a girl, and that girl is just a child!"
"Surprised…" Princess Jinfeng blinked, then her eyes suddenly widened, "Ah, I am very surprised indeed!"
