Upon hearing those words, Chen Simeng stole a glance at Feng Weizhou and blushed. Then, she kowtowed respectfully and said, “I have no objections. It’s my blessing to be able to marry the Crown Prince.”

Meanwhile, Yu Wanrong glared at Chen Simeng as though she wanted to kill Chen Simeng. The handkerchief in her hand had already been torn by her. In her opinion, Feng Weizhou clearly liked her. She should be the Crown Princess. How could it be her cousin in the end?

Yu Wanrong looked at Feng Weizhou with a pleading gaze, hoping that he would object to the marriage.

However, Feng Weizhou only frowned slightly. He had no intention of refusing the marriage at all.

Yu Wanrong grabbed her mother’s hand and said anxiously, “Mother, I clearly should be the Crown Princess!”

Madam Chen’s expression was very ugly as well. She had long treated Feng Weizhou as her son-in-law. How could she be happy now that someone interfered? She turned around and questioned her sister-in-law, Madam Qi, in an unfriendly tone, “Sister-in-law, you clearly know that Wanrong likes the Crown Prince. You…”

Madam Qi scoffed coldly and interjected in an equally unfriendly tone, “This marriage is bestowed by the Emperor. If you have the ability, why don’t you ask the Emperor to take back the order? Moreover, which young lady would say that she liked a man before getting married? Even if you’re not embarrassed, I feel embarrassed for you.”

If it was in the past, Madam Qi might have given in to her sister-in-law. However, this matter concerned the position of Crown Princess. Many people could not get it even if they begged for it. She definitely would not give in.

“You!” Madam Chen was so angry that she felt like killing someone.

As expected, everyone had their own thoughts about the position of Crown Princess.

Yu Yunxi naturally understood the Emperor’s intention.

In order to restrain Feng Yili, the First Prince, the Third Prince, and the Fifth Prince, the Emperor was determined to tie the Chen family and the Crown Prince together.

‘What’s the Emperor’s next move?’

Yu Yunxi’s eyelid suddenly twitched and a foreboding feeling rose in her heart.

At this time, Yu Wanrong, who was unwilling to see the position of Crown

Princess that originally belonged to her taken away, suddenly rose to her feet. She said, “Your Majesties, I… I would also like to perform.”

Feng Yijin said, “Oh? I remember you. You’re Second Miss Yu.”

“This performance was impromptu anyway. If you want to perform, then go ahead,” the Empress said. However, she was no longer warm and gentle to Yu Wanrong like before. Instead, her voice was very cold when she spoke.

Yu Wanrong gnashed her teeth so hard that they were about to break.

‘Is it because of Father that the Empress gave up on me? Previously, she said that she’d like it if I was her daughter-in-law!’

Yu Wanrong was determined to perform well and trample everyone under her feet to prove that she was the most suitable to become the Crown Princess. She walked to the middle of the hall and asked someone to bring a zither over. She was going to play the zither and sing at the same time. Perhaps she was too anxious, she played a few wrong notes. Not only that, but her singing was very piercing as well.

Everyone frowned when they heard her.

When Yu Wanrong played the last note, she even injured her finger. She raised her head and gritted her teeth under the veil.

‘Why did this happen? I was not like this before!’

Yu Wanrong felt even more humiliated when she heard the whispers in the surroundings.

“In the past, when Second Miss Yu attended a banquet, the Empress would praise her talent for being the best in the capital. Why is she so bad now?” “That’s right. Even when I just learned to play the zither, I wasn’t so bad.”

Yu Wanrong felt that she was going to die of anger at this moment. She really did not know how to save her reputation. This was truly not the extent of her talent. Suddenly, her gaze fell on Yu Yunxi, who was sitting at the corner, and a vicious idea appeared in her mind. She quickly turned around and said to Feng Yijin, “Your Majesty, I’m sure my sister also wants to show her talent.’

‘Her sister?’

‘Isn’t that Yu Yunxi?’

Everyone turned to look at Yu Yunxi in unison.

Feng Yijin finally looked interested at this moment. He glanced at Yu Yunxi and said in a tone that brooked no argument, “In that case, County Princess, please start.”

Yu Yunxi’s expression changed slightly. She knew that Yu Wanrong would make things difficult for her. Yu Wanrong just wanted to find someone who would perform worse than her so she could cover up her own embarrassment earlier. As the daughter of a concubine in the Yu family, no one taught her the four arts so she was indeed quite ‘bad’.

Yu Yunxi stood up and slowly walked to Yu Wanrong’s side before she said, “Your Majesty, I’m a rough person. I’m really not skilled in zither, chess, calligraphy, or painting. However, if Your Majesty really wants me to perform, perhaps I could do something else…”

“Oh, what is it?” Feng Yijin asked lightly.

Instead of answering, Yu Yunxi asked, “Does this mean that the Emperor wants me to perform?”

“Why are you talking so much nonsense? If the emperor wants you to perform, then just do it! You’re skilled in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, don’t tell me there’s nothing you’re good at?” Consort Xiao said. She already hated Yu Yunxi to death. How could she give up on an opportunity to humiliate Yu Yunxi?

“That’s right, Sister. If you really don’t have any skills, you might as well be truthful to the Emperor,” Yu Wanrong said, biting her lower lip. She looked like she was very worried about Yu Yunxi.

Swoosh!

As soon as Yu Wanrong finished speaking, Yu Yunxi suddenly turned to the side before something flew out of her sleeve.

Yu Wanrong screamed.

At the same time, the eunuchs nearby also shouted in panic, “Assassin!

Assassin!”

The imperial guards rushed in and pointed their swords at Yu Yunxi.

At this time, Yu Wanrong had already fallen to the ground, looking miserable. Her veil had fallen, revealing the hideous scar on her face.

“Her… Her face…

Everyone looked at Yu Wanrong strangely.

“My face!”

Yu Wanrong finally realized her veil had fallen. She quickly covered her face with her hands, looking flustered and helpless.

‘The Crown Prince didn’t see my face, right?’

Putting the scar on her face aside, Yu Wanrong’s actions really disgusted people. She was already disfigured, but she tried to hide it and shamelessly wanted to marry the Crown Prince. She was too delusional.

“I’m really not skilled in anything, but I have a little talent in martial arts. Since everyone wanted me to perform, I decided to show everyone what I can do,” Yu Yunxi said calmly.

Consort Xiao felt as though she was presented with a chance again. She leaped to her feet and shouted, “How dare you use a weapon in front of His Majesty?! What if you hurt His Majesty?!”

At this moment, Feng Yili said nonchalantly, “It’s just chopsticks. Consort Xiao, you’re making a fuss out of nothing.”

Everyone looked over and found a pair of chopsticks lying on the ground next to Yu Wanrong.

‘Yu Yunxi used chopsticks as darts to remove Yu Wanrong’s veil? How did she do it?’

At this moment, Jian Xin, who was sitting not far away, said with a smile, “Chopsticks are harmless. How can they be considered as weapons? However, I have to say that the martial arts of the County Princess of Xinan are truly…

impressive…”

Yu Yunxi’s eyes flashed. Jian Xin was the only outsider who spoke up for her. She knew that Jian Xin was trying to repay her for her previous help. “Yu Yunxi, you did that on purpose!” Yu Wanrong shouted exasperatedly.

“That’s right,” Yu Yunxi said lightly with a nod.

“You!”

Yu Wanrong felt as though she was going to vomit blood.

Meanwhile, Yu Zhongcheng, who was watching from his seat, felt like Yu Wanrong had completely humiliated the Yu Residence today. He shot Yu Yongnian a look, wanting his son to pull Yu Wanrong back.

However, at this moment, Feng Yijin clapped his hands and said, “The Country Princess actually used chopsticks as darts. How impressive! It must have been taught by the King of Xinan.”

Everyone felt their hearts skip a beat when they heard these words. They were not sure if Feng Yijin was truly praising Yu Yunxi or if he was trying to set her up.

Yu Yunxi nodded. “Your Majesty, you’re overpraising me. I really don’t have any talent so I can only show my mediocre skill.”

‘Mediocre skill? If your skill is mediocre, what about others?’

Those people who were ‘fortunate’ enough to witness her killing a pack of wolves and using chopsticks as darts wore twisted expressions on their faces.

“The daughters of the Yu family are all not bad…” Feng Yijin said meaningfully.

His eyes swept across the crowd, and his tone changed as he continued to say,

“I remember that Second Miss Yu is not married yet. It just so happens that the

Prince Regent’s Residence is too empty. In that case, I’ll marry you into the

Prince Regent’s Residence as a side consort..”
