Prince Mu also felt that he did not have the face to meet Duan Yunfei right now. After all, Mu Chuyang was the one who first refused to marry Duan Yunfei.
After exchanging a few words of greeting, the Prince Mu left. Duan Yunfei entered the imperial study room.
Inside the royal study, Yuwen Di also heard the conversation between Duan Yunfei and the Prince Mu, and was a little worried that Duan Yunfei's emotions would fluctuate.
Upon entering the room, Duan Yunfei saw the fragments of the porcelain, which were the source of the loud noise.
Duan Yunfei avoided the broken pieces and called the palace maids in to clean up the broken pieces so that no one would be injured.
Hearing Duan Yunfei's instructions, the palace maid took the broom and entered the imperial study. As he still vividly remembered Yuwen Di's tantrum, the palace maid was obviously trembling in fear. However, this did not affect the palace maids from cleaning the shards. Under Duan Yunfei's supervision, not a single shard of the ceramic was left behind.
After the palace maid left, Duan Yunfei once again closed the door to the imperial study, and gave Xiao Gui a look, signalling her to watch the door carefully.
Duan Yunfei turned and walked in front of Yuwen Di, "Why is royal father so angry today?"
He had previously heard that Yuwen Di had entrusted the matter of Jiang Nan and the water calamity to the Prince Mu, and had also more or less heard of some officials embezzlement, combining the two events together and guessing the reason why Yuwen Di was so angry today.
Yuwen Di sighed, "It was all because of the trash under you that made us so angry."
Duan Yunfei poured Yuwen Di a cup of tea and passed it to him. Then, she walked over to Yuwen Di and pinched his shoulder.
Duan Yunfei's moderate strength used to pinch his shoulder made the exhausted Yuwen Di feel a little comfortable. She unconsciously thought back to the time when Imperial Consort Duanshuo used to pinch his shoulder like this, and suddenly felt a little sad.
"Royal father, Yun Fei heard from the Eunuch Li that you have been busy with government affairs and did not have time to rest properly. Although the River and the Land are important, Father's health is also very important. If Father does not listen to your advice, then Yun Fei can only move to the imperial study to look after you while you are dealing with government affairs. "
Duan Yunfei knew that Yuwen Di had ambitions in his heart, she hoped that under his rule, the Jin Country would be able to leap and become the head of the Six Great Kingdoms, that the entire Jin Country would be prosperous, that the citizens would no longer have to worry about being warm and full, but Duan Yunfei could not bear to have Yuwen Di's body condition as a condition to exchange.
Yuwen Di could also clearly feel that in the past few years, he had become incapable of facing up against many others. A few years ago, Yuwen Di was a young man full of vigor. Ever since he had taken care of government affairs, he often spent a few days and nights without feeling tired at all. But now, even if he was unable to rest properly during the night, Yuwen Di felt that he had grown ten years older overnight.
Yuwen Di patted Duan Yunfei's hands, "The royal doctors only came to check my pulse a few days ago, my body is still well, so don't worry about it."
When he thought about how Duan Yunfei actually mentioned that she wanted to move to the Imperial Study to supervise her activities, Yuwen Di couldn't help but laugh.
"This time, Duan Yunfei was not happy. Father! Your son is talking business with you. Why are you laughing? If you continue to be like this, your son will really be angry, and will no longer care about you in the future. "
The little girl who had been pestering him all those years ago was now worrying about him. It was an indescribable feeling.
"Father just felt that you have grown up in a short time. You are no longer that girl that Father could lift up above his head. Father is old now."
This was the first time Yuwen Di sighed deeply about the passing of time in front of Duan Yunfei. It could be seen that Yuwen Di himself had also realized that his body was getting worse and worse every year, which was not a good omen for Duan Yunfei.
"Royal father has always been the hero in Yun Fei's heart. Royal father will not be old, Royal father will look even younger than Wu Shan."
Duan Yunfei knew that there would be a day that Yuwen Di would leave him, just like the Imperial Consort Duanshuo back then.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. What business do you have with Father today?"
Yuwen Di hadn't seen Duan Yunfei for a while, but he had sent Eunuch Li to watch her movements.
Who did Duan Yunfei see these past few days, what did Duan Yunfei say to them, and whether or not there were any descendants of officials that Duan Yunfei took a fancy to, how Duan Yunfei felt after seeing these people.
Although Yuwen Di was busy, he still took some time out every day to listen to the Eunuch Li's report on Duan Yunfei's daily situation. Yuwen Di knew that in his heart, Duan Yunfei was resisting the marriage agreement this time, but Yuwen Di was also helpless, the only thing he could do was to pay attention to Duan Yunfei's feelings.
Eunuch Li reported Duan Yunfei's situation to Yuwen Di in detail, and then mentioned that self-proclaimed Wu Shan's good friend had been played by Duan Yunfei. Yuwen Di even laughed loudly in front of him, which was a rare occasion. Duan Yunfei was Yuwen Di's daughter after all. She acted extremely fast and decisive when she did things, not giving any face to others.
"Father, in a few days' time, it will be the Women's Day. In the past, I spent every year with Zuo Yuan, but this year … It seemed a little different. Today, Zuo Chong came to see her son, and discussed with him how she should spend this year's festival. However, I didn't know if you would still let me out of the palace this year, so I came to ask you something. "
Duan Yunfei's answer to Yuwen Di was a little urgent. One must know that if her marriage was decided this year, then maybe next year, she wouldn't have anymore Women's Day.
Yuwen Di agreed without even thinking about it, which made Duan Yunfei a little surprised. On the way here, Duan Yunfei had already prepared to be rejected.
"Is Father's words true?"
"Father, what has I deceived you about? If you want to go, then have a good time and enjoy yourself to your heart's content."
The hand that was currently holding onto Yuwen Di's shoulder was also a little heavy, causing Yuwen Di to even make a "hiss" sound because of how heavy Duan Yunfei's hand was.
Only then did Duan Yunfei realize that she had hit too heavily just now, and immediately apologized to Yuwen Di.
"Okay, stop pinching me. Today, Father still has government matters to take care of. We'll have our meal together in two days."
"Then your son will be leaving first," Duan Yunfei stopped what he was doing and prepared to leave, but he suddenly turned and said to Yuwen Di, "Then Royal father must take care."
Only after Yuwen Di agreed to it did he leave in peace.
Looking at Duan Yunfei's leaving figure, Yuwen Di sighed with emotion, "This child, why does she look more and more like Yu Xin."
