“These are the lists of all the gifts the influential forces are sending to the imperial capital. They all want to marry their sons to Xiao Wu! I’m so worried!
“After all, Xiao Wu isn’t exactly head over heels for Junjun,” Emperor Wu said honestly.
Feng nodded.
It was obvious that the crown prince liked Feng Wu more than the other way around.
He was the disadvantaged party, and she could be more willful.
“What’s his problem? You’ve been with him for so many years, so tell me! Otherwise, why do I need you?” Emperor Wu was a little mad.
Feng smiled bitterly. “Well, his problem is with the Divine Phoenix Blood.”
“What? Isn’t it good enough?” Emperor Wu asked grumpily.
Feng nodded. “Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is a proud man. He wants to marry Feng Wu, not the Divine Phoenix Blood.”
Emperor Wu was confused. “Feng Wu and the Divine Phoenix Blood are the same thing. What’s the difference?”
What a dumb question.
Feng said, “Your Majesty, that may be the case with everybody else, but it is definitely not how your son sees it.”
Emperor Wu shrugged. “Tell me more about it.”
Feng said, “His Royal Highness is a perfectionist. I’m sure you see that in his cultivation practice.”
Emperor Wu nodded. “Yes. He cultivates like there’s no tomorrow. When he was little, he didn’t want to interrupt his cultivation streak, so he stayed three days in the snow.”
Feng nodded. “His Royal Highness has the same requirement when it comes to relationships. He’ll marry Miss Feng Wu, but it won’t be for her Divine Phoenix Blood.
“He’ll agree to a marriage agreement, but he won’t want to force her to marry him because of an imperial edict.
“He wants her to marry him willingly.
“Your Majesty, if I were you, I wouldn’t intervene. It’ll make things more complicated.
“I could have intervened many times, but…
“Relationships need to be worked on. We’re outsiders. If we meddle, it’ll only distract the two of them.
“One thing is for sure: They’re moving in the right direction, which is a good thing.
“Your Majesty, your edict will have to wait until they’re both willing to acknowledge the relationship.”
Emperor Wu looked at Feng in resignation.
“Is that the only way?”
Feng said, “I’m afraid so.”
Emperor Wu said, “Alright. I’ll hold back on the edict, but you have to show him these lists. He needs to know he has competition!”
Jun Linyuan was still treating his wounds when Feng returned home.
Feng Xun and Xuan Yi guarded the door.
“What happened?” Feng asked.
Feng Xun told him Jun Linyuan fought with Zuo Chengfeng earlier that day.
Feng frowned. “Does he have a death wish? He’s not as capable as Zuo Chengfeng!”
Feng Xun said, “What? Didn’t Boss Jun win?”
Feng said, “He did, but at a cost. Well, he likes the challenge…”
An idea suddenly struck Feng.
