Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The woman was none other than Princess Changlin, now a princess of the Qiangwu Tribe through marriage.

Meng Xia roughly guessed the other party’s identity and wanted to stand in front of Yu Yunxi.

“Don’t worry about it,” Yu Yunxi said as she patted the back of Meng Xia’s hand to reassure Meng Xia. Then, she said calmly to Chu Changlin, “You must be my aunt.”

Chu Changlin said as she raised her hand to stroke the side of Yu Yunxi’s face, “Yes, I’m your aunt. You really resemble your mother.”

When Chu Changlin’s fingers, which were covered with sharp nail armor, slid across Yu Yunxi’s fair face, faint red marks appeared immediately.

The expressions of Meng Xia and the others changed immediately, and they wanted to stop Chu Changlin.

“Why? Are you worried that I’ll attack your Eldest Princess? No matter what, she’s still my niece. Why would I do such a thing?” Chu Changlin asked as she looked at Meng Xia and the others coldly.

Yu Yunxi smiled indifferently as she raised her hand and removed Chu Changlin’s hand from her face. Then, she said in a leisurely manner, “Aunt is right. We’re a family. Why would she attack me?”

The two women looked at each other with dark gazes.

After a long time, Chu Changlin chuckled and said nonchalantly, “I like you a lot. Why don’t you sit with me?”

At this moment, a young eunuch said nervously, “Princess Changlin, the seatings have been arranged. You…

Chu Changlin’s expression turned icy immediately. She glanced at the young eunuch and said threateningly, “What? I’ve only left the capital for about twenty years, but I can’t even change a few seats now?”

The young eunuch was so frightened that his face paled. He hurriedly kneeled down.

Chu Changlin was the Emperor’s younger sister, after all. Although she had not been in the capital for many years, her status was not low.

“Aunt, why are you angry over such a small matter? I’ll just sit with you,” Yu Yunxi said with a smile, helping the young eunuch out of the predicament. She wanted to see what Chu Changlin was up to.

“Yunxi,” Xiao Shici called out worriedly.

Yu Yunxi shot a reassuring gaze at Xiao Shici before she left with Chu Changlin.

After taking a few steps, Chu Changlin suddenly whispered into Yu Yunxi’s ear, “You’re really similar to your mother. You’re both despicable and only know how to seduce men. Can’t Feng Yili satisfy you? To think you’re also clinging onto Xiao Shici.”

Chu Changlin’s voice was so low that only Yu Yunxi could hear it. In other people’s eyes, they only saw her whispering to Yu Yunxi.

“Who said that Princess Changning and Princess Changlin were not on good terms? Look at how well Princess Chanlin is treating Princess Changning’s daughter.”

Meanwhile, Yu Yunxi raised an eyebrow upon hearing Chu Changlin’s words.

‘She can’t hold it in anymore? I thought she’d be better than this and that she could pretend to be polite for a longer time. However, this aunt of mine is quite capable. Empress Qin and the others have yet to find out about my relationship with Feng Yili, but she has already found out about it…’

Chu Changlin thought she would be able to Yu Yunxi lose her temper. Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, she only saw Yu Yunxi smiling at her.

Yu Yunxi lowered her head and said in a low voice, “Aunt, after so many years, it seems like you still haven’t gotten over your grudge against my father and mother. It can be seen that you’ve not been living a happy life over the past twenty years. ”

Chu Changlin’s expression darkened, and she said through gritted teeth, “What a joke! I’m a princess of the Qiangwu Tribe. How can I not be happy?

“Alright, if you say so,” Yu Yunxi said as she took a seat. She could not be bothered to argue with the other party.

Chu Changlin took a few deep breaths, barely able to control her emotions. ‘This little b*tch is much more eloquent than Changning. She’s probably not easy to deal with…’

Chu Changlin suppressed the hatred in her eyes and took a seat.

Next to them were the three Kang sisters.

This was the first time the Kang sisters had attended such a banquet so they were naturally very reserved. Moreover, with Yu Yunxi so close to them, they felt even more uncomfortable.

After adjusting her emotions, Kang Qingping bowed to Yu Yunxi and called out, “Eldest Princess.”

Yu Yunxi only nodded indifferently. She had no intention of paying attention to Kang Qingping.

Kang Qingping’s expression froze. In fact, she still had words she had yet to say, but with this, she could only shut her mouth in embarrassment.

Soon, more and more people arrived.

At this moment, the eunuch at the door announced, “The Emperor Emeritus, the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, the Empress, Consort Hong, and Consort

Mu have arrived…”

The silence descended immediately, and everyone prepared to kneel when Chu Ruishi and Chu Zai entered the hall.

“Greetings, Emperor Emeritus, Emperor, Empress Dowager, Empress…” Chu Zai walked in and naturally sat on the throne.

As the Emperor Emeritus, Chu Ruishi sat slightly below Chu Zai. Although his seat was slightly lower than that of Chu Zai, it was obvious that his status was not inferior to Chu Zai at all.

Chu Zai glanced at the seat next to him as his eyes glinted viciously.

‘Sooner or later, I’ll make that seat empty!’

Despite the thought in his mind, Chu Zai said calmly, “Rise.”

Meanwhile, after taking a seat, the first thing Chu Ruishi did was to look for Yu Yunxi and Xiao Shici. When he saw that they were not sitting together, he frowned, feeling a little unhappy. After all, he wanted them to cultivate feelings for each other.

On the other hand, the Empress Dowager looked at Chu Changlin immediately. She could not hide her excitement at all as she said, “Changlin, you’re finally back. ”

Chu Changlin rose to her feet and walked to the center to bow.

“Greetings, Imperial Father, Imperial Mother, Imperial Brother.”

Chu Zai said, sounding much gentler, “I’m very glad you came this time. There’s no need to be so polite.”

“Yes, Imperial Brother.”

The Empress Dowager had many things to say to Chu Changlin, but she also knew now was not the right time. She only looked at Chu Changlin and told

Chu Changlin to return to her seat first.

As Chu Changlin returned to her seat, she passed by Consort Hong.

This time, the Hong family, except for Second Master Hong, was present.

Chu Changlin did not feel uncomfortable or awkward at all. She only sneered.

After that, envoys from various countries began to present their gifts.

Yu Yunxi had no interest in these things. She looked bored as she wondered inwardly, ‘How did Chu Changlin find out about my other identity? What is she thinking?’

At this moment, a eunuch said, “The congratulatory gift from Beixiao is here.”

Yu Yunxi returned to her senses immediately when she heard these words. She looked up and saw Xiao Shici already standing in the center of the hall. “Greetings, Emperor Emeritus, Emperor. I brought this congratulatory gift to Xichu on behalf of my father.”

The box was opened, revealing precious jewelry and treasures from Beixiao.

Chu Zai stroked his beard and smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes as he said, “You’re very considerate.”

In Chu Zai’s opinion, Yu Yunxi and Xiao Shici were on the same side.. As such, how could he have a good impression of Xiao Shici?
