CH 25.8

As soon as she left the tent, Wu Wei’an, who was dressed in white, came over and called softly: “Yun Niang.”

Ji Yunxi nodded at him and greeted him casually: “Are you feeling better?”

Wu Wei’an wanted to get closer to Ji Yunxi, but after thinking about something, he subconsciously stayed a little away from her: “Much better. Thank you, Yun Niang.”

Hearing the two people’s sticky greetings, Fourth Feng, who was fully dressed, rolled her eyes.

She really wants to vomit, because she used to regard Ji Yunxi as her competitor. She was afraid that the other party would enter the palace and compete for the favor of the Emperor with her after breaking off the engagement with Yang Weitian.

As a result, the other party is willing to stick to a man who behaves like a woman instead.

For the first time, Fourth Feng truly realized that she was completely different from Ji Yunxi.

From the Feng family’s side, in addition to Fourth Feng, her older brother Fifth Feng also came for the hunting this time.

To be fair, several young masters and young ladies of the Feng family are actually good-looking too. Fifth Feng is also a handsome man.

He bowed to Ji Yunxi: “Third Miss, my younger sister was indeed in the wrong yesterday. I’ll  apologize to you in my sister’s stead.”

As he spoke, he glanced towards his back.

In fact, Fourth Feng is not willing to apologize at all.

Yesterday, she was really mad from the anger. She didn’t even attend the bonfire banquet and also clamored that she wanted to go back to the Feng Mansion.

It was her older brother who advised her not to quarrel with the Ji family. The Marquis of Qingyuan from the Ji family is a master who is devoted to Taoism. His heart is not in the court, and can only have no more than the position of the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Officials.

On the contrary, their father is now deeply loved by the Emperor and the Crown Prince, and his official position can still rise. If Fourth Feng enters the palace and gets the Emperor’s favor, it is likely for her to be able to sit in a position which is only below one person and above tens of thousands of people.

And this morning, her older brother also revealed to her that their father had long thought Ji Mingxi was not pleasing to the eye, and there happens to be a way to pull Ji Mingxi off the horse.

Maybe in the spring of the coming year, Ji Mingxi, the Ministry of Civil Officials’ Minister, will lose his hat.

Moreover, her older brother said that this method still needs Fourth Feng to come out personally.

Thinking of this, Fourth Feng held back her temper, and gracefully bowed to Ji Yunxi: “Sister, it was me who was at fault yesterday. I apologized to you and Eldest Young Master Wu.”

Ji Yunxi knew Fourth Feng for a long time already. Fourth Feng has always regarded her as an imaginary enemy and has never treated her well.

Apologize to her? That’s even more impossible.

If things were not like how it usually was, there must be something bad behind it.

Ji Yunxi took everything into her eyes and raised her eyebrows: “It’s alright. Let bygones be bygones.”

Wu Wei’an stood behind Ji Yunxi, and when he heard that, he showed an obedient and cute face: “I will listen to Yun Niang in everything.”

Now that the matter is over, the group headed towards the entrance of the hunting ground.

On the way, more and more people got together, and almost everyone was gathered in one place.

Fourth Feng looked around, then suddenly raised her voice and said in a voice that everyone could hear: “By the way, Sister, will Eldest Young Master Wu participate in the Spring Imperial Examination next year?”

Ji Yunxi glanced at Fourth Feng and lowered her eyes: “Yes.”

Fourth Feng looked as if she was very interested in this: “Sister, how is Eldest Young Master Wu’s daily homework usually? Ah, I shouldn’t ask that. The husband selected by Sister must be very good in literature, martial arts and strategy. Eldest Young Master Wu will definitely be on the winning list of the Imperial Examination in the next spring, and will definitely be appreciated by the Emperor and even bestowed with the highest honor in the Imperial Examination.”

What a dazzling way to destroy a talent by overpraising him.

Ji Yunxi took it all into her eyes, but she didn’t disclose anything at all either. Instead, she said: “That is overstated too. There can only be three people who get the First-Rank and I don’t think that An Lang can get it. It is possible that the Fifth Young Master Feng will get it instead. Fifth Young Master Feng’s literary talent and knowledge is well-known in the entire capital.”

The Spring Imperial Examination is only two months away now. People in the capital will naturally guess who the three top First-Rank will be this time, and even even put their own bets in an attempt to make a fortune.
