Chapter 565: Chapter 564 If She Were a Monarch

Xiaoyao wondered if she had said something wrong, but Feng Jinrui had no idea.

But his fourth brother, the prince, wasn’t like this before, and he didn’t know what had gotten into him.

That night, Feng Yexuan, without even Leng Ji around, banished him outside the tent.

He sat alone inside the tent for the entire night.

Even he felt that there was something wrong with his thoughts.

Why be angry?

It made no sense!

Early the next morning, a low exclamation came from Xiaoyao’s tent, "How big!"

So big! So orderly!

This was definitely the most perfect mushroom he had ever seen!

Overnight, it had filled the entire box.

Xiaoyao yawned.

Last night, after Feng Jinrui went back to rest in the late hours, she stayed up watching over her mushrooms.

She woke up several times in the night and basically watched the mushrooms grow bit by bit.

These mushrooms could really be something the commoners try cultivating.

But today, Feng Yexuan wasn’t even willing to glance at her, let alone listen to her speak.

"Don’t be anxious, this isn’t something we can rush. Once we return to the Imperial City, I will discuss this properly with my fourth brother," he said.

To plant crops on a large scale wasn’t something that could be done in a day or two, it would also require a detailed plan followed by the Imperial Court’s initiative to promote it among the populace.

However, this matter also showed that although Xiaoyao was young, she bore the world in her heart.

Even Feng Jinrui felt inferior to her in this regard.

"Fourth brother, you may not realize it because of her age, but she truly has many ideas, all for the good of the common folk," he said.

Feng Yexuan had already been ignoring Xiaoyao for two days straight.

Feng Jinrui felt it was necessary to speak up on Xiaoyao’s behalf.

"Fourth brother, she really is a good person, not the spy you mentioned," he insisted.

He thought that his fourth brother still suspected Xiaoyao’s identity.

But how could someone with the world in their heart possibly be a spy?

"Fourth brother, listen to me. She’s not only not a spy, but if given the chance to rule a nation, she would certainly be a wise and just ruler..."

"What did you say?" Feng Yexuan suddenly turned his head, his icy gaze landing on Feng Jinrui’s face.

Feng Jinrui didn’t know why he was able to say such things—how could Xiaoyao possibly become the ruler of a nation?

His mind must have gone bad to have blurted out such nonsense without thinking.

"I... I just meant to say that she’s really not a bad person," he clarified.

But he indeed harbored a strange thought deep down.

Xiaoyao, suited to be an emperor, a ruler with ideas who could definitely bring about a peaceful and prosperous era for the people...

Okay, he must have been confused to have such thoughts.

A plain little girl, she certainly wasn’t fated to be a ruler.

"Fourth brother..."

"Once we return to the Imperial City, let her leave. She has no place in my realm!"

With a nudge of his steed, Feng Yexuan rode off alone, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

Heading straight for the front of the army.

Clearly, he didn’t want to hear anymore of Feng Jinrui speaking up for Xiaoyao.

Feng Jinrui felt a bit helpless.

He had hoped to convince his fourth brother to let Xiaoyao stay at the Prince’s Residence.

He was somewhat reluctant to let the little girl live outside by herself.

The Imperial City was a dangerous place, and she had lost her master; she was all alone, so pitiable.

Turning back, he saw Xiaoyao sitting sprightly on horseback, talking to the soldiers next to her with no idea what about.

Her face was adorned with a brilliant smile.

He really liked the little girl so much, he couldn’t bear the thought of her suffering alone outside. What was he to do?

After another day of travel, they finally arrived at the Imperial City.

Xiaoyao had overheard some of the opinions and views that Prince Yexuan held about her.

Of course, these hadn’t come from Feng Jinrui—he certainly wasn’t that loose-lipped.

Most likely, they were inadvertently revealed by Leng Ji.

But no matter who said it, it was all the same.

Prince Yexuan thought she was a spy and had said that once they reached the Imperial City, he would have her leave.

As if she were desperate to stay in his place, living on his terms!

The prince thought too highly of himself.

So as soon as they arrived at the Imperial City, Xiaoyao promptly excused herself and left.

By the time Leng Ji came to report, she had already gone.

Feng Yexuan felt strangely irritated.

However, a piece of news soon made him excited, "Prince, the Empress’s procession will enter the city early tomorrow morning!"
