Although Duan Yunfei never liked to fuss about things with her brothers and sisters, her words today had touched upon her bottom line.

In front of Yuwen Di, Duan Yunfei was afraid that if she were to touch Yuwen Di's wounds, she would due to the loss of the matriarch, so every time Yuwen Di brought up Imperial Consort Duanshuo in front of him, Duan Yunfei would always laugh merrily.

Xiao Yang shook his head and continued to jog, finally catching up to Duan Yunfei.

"I'll make you move every day. Look at you, you've only walked a few steps, and you're already so tired. You've truly lost face for me."

"Princess, don't make fun of Xiao Yang, how can your footsteps be the same as mine? To you, it's merely a few steps. To this servant, it's a long way to go. " Hearing Duan Yunfei's words, Xiao Yang unconsciously blushed. As he replied Duan Yunfei, he ran over to make tea for him.

"Alright, alright, I won't laugh at you anymore. You, you must move more in the future. Do you remember that?"

"Your servant obeys."

Xiao Yang remembered that he had not notified Duan Yunfei of the news today, but he did not know if Duan Yunfei's current state of mind was willing to hear about Xiu Heng, so he hesitated for a moment, but when he thought about the news tomorrow, he decided that he would definitely become Duan Yunfei's Growing Age Ceremony, and should let Duan Yunfei know about it sooner.

"Princess, I actually have some things I want to report."

Although Xiao Yang was usually cautious, but in front of Duan Yunfei, he was different. He might be like this only when it involved people that had a very important position in Duan Yunfei's heart, and when he thought about it, Duan Yunfei couldn't help but think of Xiu Heng. Xiu Heng...

"Tell me about it."

"I expected that you would learn more than that. Otherwise, you wouldn't be stuttering like this."

"Princess, it seems like young master Xiu Heng has already sat on the throne of the Xiliang …" As Xiao Yang said this, his eyes glanced at Duan Yunfei, trying to see the changes in her expression. After all, the name Xiu Heng had already affected Duan Yunfei for six whole years.

"Don't look at me, I know what you're thinking. It had been three years. If Xiu Heng still hadn't ascended to the position of Prince of Xiliang after three years, he really wouldn't be him. Relying on Xiu Heng's methods, three years was a bit too long for him. If he was not sent to Jin Country at the time, the position of Prince of Xiliang would have already been his. "Forget it, I want to rest. You can go out first."

After Xiao Yang left, he lied on the bed and thought for a long time.

It had clearly been three years, but why was her heart still faintly aching when she heard the name Xiu Heng? She had already expected that the Xiliang would send someone over to congratulate her, but she did not know if Xiu Heng would personally come, it shouldn't be possible. Even if Xiu Heng truly ascended to the position of the Xiliang's crown prince, there wouldn't be any possibility for the two of them to meet.

Not even half an incense worth of time had passed since Xiao Yang left, yet he had already entered Duan Yunfei's chamber hall.

"Princess, His Majesty has sent someone over."

Tomorrow is Duan Yunfei's Growing Age Ceremony, did Yuwen Di have something important to report to him? Duan Yunfei did not understand.

When they arrived at the great hall, they saw the Eunuch Ming in front of Yuwen Di waiting for him.

"I wonder why Eunuch Ming is here today?"

"This servant pays his respects to the princess. Tomorrow would be the princess' Growing Age Ceremony. The emperor had invited the empress, the empress and princes and princesses to prepare for a feast tonight. The Emperor has specially sent an old servant to inform you, Princess. "

Duan Yunfei curled her lips, but since Yuwen Di had specially sent someone to inform him, she had no choice but to attend today's banquet. Although Duan Yunfei was unhappy, she still expressed that she knew, and ordered Xiao Yang to send Eunuch Ming out of the Red Luan Palace.

"Princess, why is His Majesty preparing this feast? In the past, the Growing Age Ceremony s of the princesses would not even hold a family banquet with His Majesty right? "

"I'm not sure either. Maybe royal father wants to ease the relationship between me and my other brothers and sisters? Could it be that news of what had happened in the Imperial Garden had reached his father? There's no other choice but to go to the feast tonight. Since there's still some time left, I'll go take a nap. When the time comes, you can come and wake me up again. You should prepare the clothes for tonight's family banquet. When I wake up, you can wash them. "

"Princess, don't worry. Your servant will definitely prepare everything."

After telling him all of this, Duan Yunfei once again returned to his own sleeping quarters. Although he wanted to rest for a while, he couldn't fall asleep no matter how he tossed and turned. He took out the military manual hidden under his pillow and flipped through a few pages.

Duan Yunfei's mind was filled with that name, the name that she wanted to erase but still had traces of it in her heart.

"Xiu Heng, I wonder how you are right now. You must be very happy to be Crown Prince, right? Have you avenged your matriarch? Do you remember me?
