A Foodie Transmigrated into the Palace-Chapter 867: Has This Trial Been Passed?

After some thought.

He immediately stepped forward and said.

"My Imperial Brother is constantly busy with state affairs and has always been somewhat indifferent to the matters of the harem!"

"Moreover, my Imperial Brother already has someone else in his heart, so it is naturally impossible for him to marry the Commandery Princess again, therefore..."

The Fifth Master looked slightly regretful.

"My Imperial Brother has let down the Commandery Princess, making her feel deeply sorrowful! I offer my apologies to the Commandery Princess on behalf of my Imperial Brother!"

"If Prince Jin does not mind, I would be willing to personally host the Commandery Princess..."

There was no need to say more, those who understand will understand.

Sure enough, Prince Jin began to scrutinize him.

After a good while, Prince Jin suddenly smiled.

"Are you certain?"

"Fengfeng is the apple of my eye!"

"I have spoiled her all these years, she’s quite willful!"

"Are you sure you want to personally attend to her?!"

Without a second thought, the Fifth Master lowered his head.

"Certain!"

"In fact..."

He suddenly raised his head and said in a small but firm voice.

"I dare not hide from Prince Jin!"

"From the first moment I saw the Commandery Princess, I was deeply captivated by her!"

"Let alone being spoiled, even if you indulge her for another ten years, I would remain the same!"

Prince Jin looked at the determined Fifth Prince and immediately nodded in praise!

"Good! So unwavering!"

The Fifth Prince was very excited to hear the praise.

"I only spoke the truth from my heart, I hope Prince Jin will not be offended!"

"The Commandery Princess is deeply saddened, and I am willing to accompany her, to relieve her worries, I don’t know, Prince Jin..."

"What do you think?"

Prince Jin stroked his grand beard, glanced at him casually, and said solemnly.

"If you’re sincere with her, I don’t have any objections."

"But if you dare to play any tricks..."

The Fifth Master quickly saluted.

"I wouldn’t dare, if not sincere, may heaven strike me!"

Prince Jin waved his hand.

"Enough, off you go, I’m sure you wouldn’t dare!"

The Fifth Master was overjoyed and quickly performed a junior’s salute!

"Yes!"

"See Prince Jin off!"

As for why he performed a junior’s salute?

Because Prince Jin did not refuse him?!

If both are willing, there’s no problem!

Isn’t that to say... that he’s cleared the hurdle of Prince Jin?!

Watching Prince Jin depart with his retinue.

For the first time, the Fifth Master felt.

So wonderful.

Unbelievably wonderful!

He couldn’t understand why his own mother and his brother wouldn’t make the slightest effort for him.

And now.

A king from a foreign land dared to entrust his treasure to him.

With such importance, without a doubt!

Heh, is the difference really that stark?!

Looking around, the Fifth Master finally felt that he was one step closer to the Prince’s Peerage.

Truly wonderful!

...

In the courtyard.

Hai Feng hid in the room and cried bitterly.

Yesterday, when she threw her veil, she felt momentarily relieved, not particularly saddened, if not marrying, then so be it.

But now, upon seeing that familiar face.

She could no longer hold on.

Especially after the late realization that she could never marry him.

Her emotions completely collapsed.

This crying frightened the several attendants, who came up to comfort her.

"Commandery Princess!"

"Didn’t you come back just fine yesterday?!"

"Even if that Fifth Prince cannot compare to the Emperor of Great Chu!"

"But if you think about the men in this world, how many can surpass him!"

"The Fifth Prince is not so much inferior to the Emperor of Great Chu, is he?"

Although merely a substitute, such a perfect substitute, where else could you find it?

"Besides, the Fifth Prince is still waiting outside!"

"Isn’t that what makes this rare?!"

Hai Feng gradually stopped crying after a while.

However, she no longer felt like seeing anyone.

She just waved them off.

"Let him go, I don’t want to see him now!"

The female attendants wanted to persuade her but dared not, so they complied and left.

Upon hearing this, the Fifth Master was not upset.

He simply advised her to ’have a good rest, I will come again tomorrow,’ and left.

That day, Hai Feng stayed shut in her room all day long.

...

The next day, after a long sleep, Hai Feng’s mood finally improved a bit.

After breakfast, the Fifth Master came again.

This time, there was no avoiding it, so Hai Feng had to let him in.

She was rather impatient, her tone chilly.

"Why are you here?"

The implied meaning was, don’t you know I’m in great pain now?

The Fifth Master quickly stepped forward and said.

"Commandery Princess, I know you are not feeling well!"

"Today there is a temple fair in the Capital City, it’s very lively, staying cooped up inside isn’t helping, why not go out for a walk?!"

"I would be honored to accompany you!"

Hai Feng frowned, somewhat unwilling to go.

But seeing his face, she was inexplicably moved.

Additionally, the Fifth Master was persuasive in his urging.

In the end, Hai Feng nodded.

"Alright! I will go."

"You all, help me dress!"

"Yes, Commandery Princess!"

The female attendants quickly responded.

The Fifth Master stepped outside to wait.

Half a Shi Chen later, the Fifth Master took Hai Feng out to the temple fair.

...

The whole way, Hai Feng remained dispirited.

But as they walked.

The road grew livelier, crowds bustled, and there were many fresh and interesting things to see.

Gradually, her expression improved considerably.

By the time they reached the temple fair.

She was completely filled with excitement.

Nimbly dismounting, Hai Feng pointed at unfamiliar things around her, asking one by one.

"What is that?"

"Is this tasty? Why is everyone eating it?"

"And what is that over there?"

"What are they doing?"

Western Xia didn’t have such lively places.

So she often used to roam around the Northwest to have fun.

But the liveliness there couldn’t compare to that of the Capital City.

So... it was Hai Feng’s first time witnessing such bustling scenes.

The Fifth Master wasn’t irritated.

He followed her all the way, patiently explaining everything.

After hearing, Hai Feng couldn’t help but try some things.

And he stayed by her side throughout.

Without the slightest impatience!

That day, Hai Feng chatted endlessly and had a very enjoyable time at the temple fair.

When they returned in the evening.

Her stomach was filled with unfamiliar food.

Her body and the Fifth Master’s were draped with various trinkets.

This time, Hai Feng allowed him to escort her all the way to her inner courtyard.

The Fifth Master was thrilled internally.

He took the opportunity to invite her again, and Hai Feng gladly accepted.

The smile on her face became more genuine, yesterday’s disappointment was absent.

At night, she even slept more peacefully.

The Fifth Master, on his side.

After returning from Hai Feng’s place.

His heart was filled with even more ambition.

This time with such a good opportunity, he must seize it!

Even in his dreams at night.

He dreamt of the Prince’s Peerage beckoning him.

Mother, younger brother, just wait, I will always be the strongest!

...

The news of the Fifth Master personally accompanying the Commandery Princess quickly reached Zhao Junyao’s ears.

He frowned.

"Fifth Brother?"

Li Shengan nodded.

"Indeed, it’s reported that the Commandery Princess and the Fifth Master were together at the temple fair today!"

Zhao Junyao thought for a moment, but said nothing.

His expression seemed relieved.

He thought to himself: If it’s the two of them, then it couldn’t be better!

Firstly, the alliance can continue, and there would be no worries about diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Secondly, he wouldn’t need to trouble himself.

At that time, giving generous rewards would suffice.

No one would be slighted.

Isn’t that good?

An emperor’s consort and a prince’s main wife, their statuses are practically comparable.

Thinking about it...

The Western Xia Kingdom shouldn’t be unable to discern!

After much thought, Zhao Junyao concluded that this was indeed a good solution.

So secretly, he hoped.

That the Fifth Master could put in more effort and marry the Commandery Princess Hai Feng!
