Suiyan is waiting for your return - Chapter 12

“Shen Yunxi, you’re just a bully in your own nest!” Yun Huang, the main host, glared at Yunxi with disappointment and swept away.

Huo Yan and Huo Da hesitated about whether to come and comfort her when they saw someone enter from outside the door, both shocked.

The wedding hall was filled with various expressions as everyone turned their attention to the dashing young man stepping inside.

The King of Annan and Prince Ningdong, who wanted to leave early, returned to the main table, waiting for the feast to begin.

“Seventh Brother!” Yunxi joyfully threw herself into the arms of the newcomer, feeling her heart finally calm down at that moment. “You’re here!”

The person who arrived was Feng Lingtian, the adopted son of King Jing. King Jing was the biological younger brother of Yunxi’s mother and had always lived a carefree life, so he wasn’t regarded highly by everyone.

However, Feng Lingtian’s mother was the Red Feather General, a woman general personally appointed by the Emperror, who once led troops to repel three thousand tribes from the north and gained fame in a single battle, intimidating the four seas. That was also the reason the Emperror bestowed the title of Princess Chang and granted her vast lands, numerous estates, and a rising status.

With the fall of the Hu Guo government, the power of the military was now in the conflict between the Tie and Feng families.

Recently, the Minister Tie had been absent due to illness, and his son Tie Hang had just been injured by Yun Huang, and at that moment may still be in the palace filing a complaint. Naturally, various subordinates who were close to Minister Tie were absent for various reasons, sending others in their stead. Thus, there was not a single person from the Tie faction present at the Cheng Shen wedding.

Was it a demonstration or a coincidence? Everyone had their own thoughts.

“Little Yunxi has grown up and is getting married!” Feng Lingtian raised an eyebrow, affectionately hugging Yunxi and casually tossing his cloak to Hu Wa. His gaze, however, wandered to the guests at the wedding hall. “Seventh Brother hasn’t returned to the capital in three years and hasn’t realized how simple it is for a royal to marry off a daughter!”

Such intimacy caused an uproar among the guests. After all, they were only siblings by title, with no blood relation.

“What are you standing there for? Let’s feast!” Feng Lingtian waved his hand, and his well-trained bodyguards immediately formed two lines to escort the guests into the courtyard.

“Little Yunxi, luckily, Seventh Brother met old subordinates of your uncle on the road. Otherwise, it would’ve been a waste of empty seats.” Feng Lingtian casually said, “The wives of the Red Feather Army miss you very much; they are too busy with the war to come and see. After your wedding, you could take Zi Mo to visit them. It would be a gesture of goodwill from us as juniors!”

The King of Annan and Prince Ningdong raised their cups from a distance to toast, and Feng Lingtian smiled back, leaning closer to Yunxi and whispering, “Our little tiger has become a little frail kitten, easily bullied, hasn’t she?”

Yunxi felt a lump in her throat, tears brimming in her eyes. “Cheng Haojin is your brother-in-law. Are you helping me or him?”

Feng Lingtian looked at her, amused by her dramatic acting. He couldn’t help but laugh at her concern. After all, as the daughter of the Feng Princess, how weak could she possibly be?

“Seventh Brother is seriously following your instructions and bringing uncle’s old subordinates, using your family’s power. Little Yunxi actually doubts Seventh Brother’s sincerity; how deeply hurt Seventh Brother is!” Feng Lingtian lightly patted her head.

“Hmph!” Naturally, Yunxi didn’t believe him. She glanced around and said, “What you’re going to do when you return to the capital isn’t limited to just Cheng Haojin helping you; I can help too!”

Feng Lingtian burst into laughter, pointing towards the guests at the chaotic wedding feast. “With this ridiculous wedding?”

“With the fact that I’m the daughter of the former crown prince and the current General of Anxi’s wife, and that I have King Jing as my uncle, how do you feel about that?” Yunxi was irritated by his nonchalance, her words filled with resentment. “I can present those two as tokens of my sincerity to you!”

Following Yunxi’s gaze, Feng Lingtian noticed the uneasy expressions of the King of Annan and Prince Ningdong.

“It seems I’ve underestimated you, Yunxi.” Feng Lingtian regarded Yunxi as if he were just getting to know her. “Then let me see what our Xiaoxi can do!”

Feng Lingtian stood up and went to the wedding banquet, boldly taking the main seat, toasting and socializing as required. If it weren’t for his white clothing, people might really think he was the groom of the day!

This bizarre wedding, which had neither groom and was half joyful and half sad, gradually drew to a close under the bright moonlight and the clamor of the guests, leaving many unable to forget it for a lifetime.

The curtain of the Entangled Affairs was just beginning to rise…
